In the following days, Hu Lai really did what his mother said, going to the school every once in a while to find a coach and the school team, and training with them, not necessarily to stay in shape, it was purely boring.

After he returned to Dongchuan, there was nothing to do except for the first time when he went to see the coach and Li Qingqing.

As he told his mother, his high school classmates had all been admitted to college, and at the moment they were all enjoying college life in their respective colleges, even if he wanted to go out and find someone to play with, he couldn't find it.

At first, Xie Lan was very relieved to see his son training so obediently.

But then I found out that Hulai would go home for dinner in the evening after every time he went out, so he wondered.

After inquiring, I found out that the coach did not eat at all, and Hu Lai did try to invite him to dinner, but the other party simply refused.

Seeing that the coach refused, Hu Lai didn't persuade him more, so every time he went out, it was really just a simple training.

Among them, he also went to watch a school game to cheer for his students.

The juniors knew that Hulai was watching them from the stands, and they performed very well one by one, and finally won 5:0 against their opponents.

After training with everyone for a while and watching such a game, Hu Lai felt that the competition for this year's Anton Cup should still be between Dongchuan Middle School and Jiaxiang High School.

The other teams simply can't make a wave.

In addition to going to the team for training, Hu Lai also found Li Qingqing a few times and invited her to eat Dongchuan food.

Dongchuan is of course best known for its clear soup beef, but how can there be only one delicacy?

He took Li Qingqing to eat several famous delicacies.

But they never went to the secret base again.

Ever since that group photo, it's as if the secret base doesn't exist.

In addition, through WeChat contact, Hu Lai knew that Wang Guangwei really went to the driving school to learn driving skills, and Wang said that if everything went well, he would complete the three subjects of the driving school before the winter training.

In this way, after Zhang Qinghuan bought a car after the winter training was over, they drove to the training base for training, and they no longer had to do online car-hailing or taxis every day - the bus did not have to take it for a long time......

For this, Hu Lai also scolded Zhang Qinghuan. This kid was pretending to be forced at the bus stop, and reported to the driver's master, so that everyone knew that Zhang Qinghuan was doing the No. 12 bus to train, and the No. 12 bus was full the next day......

The three of them were so frightened that they no longer dared to continue to take the bus to train.

And after this incident, Zhang Qinghuan also planned to buy a car when he returned to Jincheng after his vacation.

The days passed like this, and on the twelfth day when Hu Lai returned home, he received a call from Uncle Yong.

On the phone, Uncle Yong told him: "The contract is negotiated, Hu Lai." ”

"What conditions, Uncle Yong?" When Hulai heard this, he sat up from his bed.

"The contract is four years, with an annual salary of 1.8 million before taxes for the first year, and a 10 percent increase on the basis of the previous year's annual salary every year thereafter. The goal award is 8,000 per goal after tax, and the signing fee is 400,000, which is also after tax. Yongjun briefly explained the terms, and then explained, "Actually, if there is no signing fee, I can help you talk about the ...... of the starting annual salary of two million."

Hu Lai was very happy when he heard these thousands, but he didn't care that his annual salary was less than 200,000.

It doesn't matter if he earns 200,000 less a year, the main thing is that he gets the 400,000 signing fee, plus the money he saved last season, so that his mother can repay the borrowed money with interest.

Song Fatzi borrowed his own 50,000 yuan, and he could pay it back in the same way after two months.

When the time comes, it will be debt-free and light, and it will be cool!

Uncle Yong is really awesome, at first he thought that it would be good to have an annual salary of one million, but he didn't think that the annual salary was almost two million, and although the goal award was not 10,000 goals, it was not much worse.

Yongjun was still saying: "In addition, Hu Lai, I didn't ask for too much signing fees, just stuck with the number you wanted, because I helped you negotiate a new bonus." ”

"New bonus?"

"The contract also stipulates that if you can get the top scorer in the league next season, there will be an additional one million Golden Boot bonus."

Hearing this, Hulai's breathing became heavier.

"League Golden Boot One Million?" He confirmed with Uncle Yong.

"That's right, the league has a million Golden Boots. Next season, the stars are determined to surpass, so they will be more willing to invest. If you can get the league Golden Boot, the team's results will not be too bad. One million for the Super League is very cost-effective. They would even wish they could spend the million. ”

Golden Boot ...... Hu Lai thought for a while and asked Yongjun: "Uncle Yong, how many goals are the Golden Boots of the Chinese League this season?" ”

He didn't care about this before, because he only played half a season, and he had no hope of competing for the league's golden boot at all. He only focused on his performance in the team at the time, in fact, he didn't even deliberately fight for the golden boot in the team, anyway, when the opportunity came, he stretched his foot, and then the ball went in......

In the end, he became the top scorer in the team, who do you say is reasoning?

Yongjun, as a qualified agent, is clear about this kind of data, and he immediately gave the answer: "Twenty-two goals." It is a foreign aid from Chongshan in southern Sichuan, called Olivier Ferraire, from Brazil. ”

"Twenty-two balls?" Hu Lai thought to himself that Lao Tzu scored eleven goals in half a season, so if he calculated, wouldn't he be able to score twenty-two goals in one season?

There is a door, you can do it!

So he said to Yongjun: "Uncle Yong, you have a wonderful conversation!" Just for your face, Uncle Yong, I will definitely come back with a golden boot! ”

Yongjun laughed on the other end of the phone, not thinking that Hu Lai was just talking nicely.

At this time, he didn't tell Hulai in advance, it was completely improvised.

In fact, he also wanted to stimulate Hulai through this matter, to see if he could see where Hulai's limit was.

Eleven goals in half a season is already impressive, and that's without playing all the games. But what if he was given a full season? Let him be involved in the team's preparation from the pre-season training camp? So how many goals can Hulai score?

Of course, Yongjun also knows the saying of the "rookie wall", but he believes that with Hu Lai's "pure heart", even if there is really any "rookie wall", it will be smashed by him.

In the matter of Hu Lai helping Zhang Qinghuan at the beginning, Yongjun firmly established this idea: this child has a bright future!

And this Golden Boot bonus is just the right time to test whether your guess is really accurate.

Because the new contract was completed, Hulai naturally had to return to Jincheng to sign with the club.

It just so happens that he can also end his vacation early and go back to the club for targeted strength training.

Before leaving, he spoke to his mom about his new contract.

When the mother heard that her son could earn 1.8 million yuan before taxes a year, and nearly 1 million after tax deductions, her eyes widened.

Seeing his mother like this, Hu Lai bragged again: "It's only 1.8 million that scares you, isn't it, Mom?" Do you know how much Qin Lin, the big man in our team, earns every year? ”

"I don't care how much he has...... I didn't expect my mother to play cards according to common sense, and said, "Son, don't spend so much money you make, don't learn ...... Some people are fooling around, you know? ”

Hu Lai couldn't cry or laugh: "Mom, where do you want to go?" Am I that kind of person? I'm going to save up the money to buy a house. ”

Hearing her son say this, Xie Lan was very happy: "Eh, yes, buy a house in Jincheng......"

"It's not in Jincheng, it's in Dongchuan, and we have changed our current house." Hulai said.

Xie Lan was stunned, and then waved his hand: "Nonsense, this house lives well, why change it?" ”

"Mom, you feel your conscience and speak."

Xie Lan raised his hand: "How did you talk to your mother?" ”

But she also admits: "It's been a bit long...... But that's your money, and your dad and I both have salaries and can't spend your money. ”

"How long will it take to buy a house with your salary?" Hulai asked. "Buying a house is a family affair, so don't share your money, my money, Mom. I thought it would take two years to buy a house, but now I think I'll be able to buy a house when I come back at the end of next season. If you are usually fine, you can pay attention to any new real estate first, good second-hand housing, and when I come back from vacation, we will go directly to do this. ”

Xie Lan originally wanted to refute, but listening to Hu Lai's words, especially his unquestionable tone, it was like telling his mother directly, "I have the final say in this matter".

Let Xie Lan dispel the idea of opposition.

She thought to herself that her son had indeed grown up.

Then she looked at the house she had lived in for more than ten years, and she really should buy a new house, after all, what will her son need to get married in the future...... This dilapidated house was too shabby when it was used to get married.

She nodded, "Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you." ”

Hulai persuaded his mother to leave home with peace of mind, took the high-speed train back to Jincheng, and signed a contract renewal with the club.

That's the end of it.

This is the end of his cooperation with Uncle Yong.

Hu Lai is very satisfied with Uncle Yong's business ability, if he hadn't agreed to Song Fatzi, it would be really okay to find Uncle Yong as an agent.

As soon as the signing fee of 400,000 yuan arrived, Hulai immediately transferred it to his mother and told her that she could pay off the debt.

Xie Lan looked at the bank transfer to the account in the text message on his mobile phone, counted the zeros after "4", and determined that it was 400,000, not 40,000, not 4,000.

Then she said to her husband, "Tell your captain not to arrange so many night shifts." Staying up late hurts. ”

Hu Lixin also knew about his son's new contract for a long time.

Intellectually, he knew his wife was right. Relying on him to stay up all night like this, it is not good that one day someone else dies first, and the debt has not been repaid......

But emotionally speaking, he is reluctant to accept this reality - he is a big man, and he has no money to let his wife and children live a better life, and now he even has to let his son help solve the debt.

He felt that as a husband and a father, he was a failure.

Looking at her silent husband, how could Xie Lan not know what he was thinking?

But she didn't say anything, didn't persuade him.

She knows very well that this kind of thing can't be persuaded, and persuading it will hurt her self-esteem, so she shouldn't have seen it. She didn't care whether her husband would go to the captain to reduce the number of night shifts, but in the end she could get the answer from the number of times he went home for the night.

She just told her husband that she had to pay off the debt now. From now on, their family can get rid of the pressure of debt and the white eyes of others, and live a normal life.

Thinking of this, Xie Lan said again: "This year's Spring Festival, we will go back to Jincheng for the Spring Festival." ”

Hu Lixin looked up at her.

"I haven't been back in years." Xie Lan said again. "My mom secretly sent me a photo, saying that my dad watched all the Hulai matches without landing on the ground. I want to go back and see them. ”

Hu Lixin nodded slowly: "Okay." ”
