Chapter 55: Retire, Zhang Qinghuan
As soon as Hu Lai returned to the locker room, Wang Guangwei leaned in and whispered, "How is it?" What did Director Zhao say? β
Thinking of Director Zhao's special instructions, Hu Lai really didn't want to say anything to Wang Guangwei, so he had to frown and say to Wang Guangwei with a gloomy expression: "Director Zhao won't let me say ......"
Seeing his expression, and listening to what he said, Wang Guangwei had a bad guess: "Is the situation very bad?" β
If Zhang Qinghuan's injury is not a big deal, then why didn't the head coach let Hu Lai say it? Why did Hulai cry with a sad face?
Hu Lai shook his head: "Don't ask, Lao Wang, I really can't say it, if I do, Director Zhao will drive me to the reserves......"
Wang Guangwei nodded: "Okay, I know." β
He did not continue to question Hulai, because it would make Hulai embarrassed.
But he had already guessed in his heart that Zhang Qinghuan's situation was very, very bad......
This season should be reimbursed, right?
After Qin Lin, Zhang Qinghuan was scrapped with a serious injury, how will he play the next few games?
Hu Lai was also relieved to see that Wang Guangwei really didn't ask any more questions, and then went to the locker in the dressing room to start changing clothes.
At the same time, he was also thinking in his heart, I don't know what Zhang Qinghuan's expression would be after hearing that he was going to be forced to retire...... It's a shame that I can't see it in person......
β»β»β»
Yang Hua looked at the two people in the office in confusion - Dong Wen, the club's general manager, and Zhao Kangming, the team's head coach.
In the morning, he received a call from Zhao Kangming, who told him not to tell Zhang Qinghuan about the diagnosis first, and wait for them to come.
At that time, he was still wondering, just a simple ankle sprain, an injury that can be cured after half a month's rest, is it necessary to wait for the club's general manager and the first team manager to arrive to tell the players?
It's a bit of a fuss, right?
If it weren't for the conclusion he came to by watching the film in person, he really doubted that it was a misdiagnosis. Because a month ago, when Qin Lin was injured and the injury was announced to the players, the club's general manager and the first team manager were present.
So this battle made Yang Hua feel that Zhang Qinghuan was also reimbursed for the season......
But how is that possible? He watched the film himself and watched it several times, for fear that he would make a mistake and draw the wrong conclusion.
What Zhao Kangming said next made Yang Hua feel that there was something abnormal in this world.
"Lao Yang, let's go together in a while and inform Zhang Qinghuan of his injury......"
Yang Hua nodded.
"Then you tell him that he has a ruptured ligament and that he has a broken ankle......"
Yang Hua finally couldn't hold back and interrupted Zhao Kangming: "Director Zhao, do you know what you're talking about?" Ankle ligament rupture, ankle fracture...... That's basically a waste of time! β
"That's right!" Zhao Kangming nodded vigorously.
"Huh?"
"You also have to tell him that it can only be treated with surgery, but even after surgery, there is no guarantee that he will recover. After his injured foot, he basically can't adapt to the high-intensity professional load, and the chance of re-injury is very, very high, and if the same part is injured again, then he will have to be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. β
Yang Hua suddenly changed color: "What are you kidding?!" Zhao guided! This is not true, you are destroying a player's hope and confidence by saying that! β
"We are going to destroy his hope and confidence." Dong Wen, who had not spoken beside him, spoke.
Yang Hua turned his head and looked at Manager Dong in surprise, who had worked with him for many years.
"Well, that's it...... In fact, it's like this......" Dong Wen sighed and repeated what Zhao Kangming said to himself in the head coach's office in front of Yang Hua again.
After listening to Dong Wen's narration, Yang Hua was stunned for a while, sat down again on the table, rubbed his temples and asked, "So you want to act in a play to stimulate Zhang Qinghuan so that he can turn back?" β
"Yes." Zhao Kangming said, "We can't help it, if the normal method worked a long time ago, isn't this really useless?" β
Yang Hua, as the team's team doctor, naturally knew Zhang Qinghuan's situation, and he shook his head: "I didn't expect Director Zhao to give up Zhang Qinghuan yet......"
Zhao Kangming wanted to say that it was not that I hadn't given up, but that one of his teammates was still unwilling to give up...... However, he didn't say it, some things were too troublesome to explain, he just didn't say anything: "Doctor Yang, you are the most important here, because you are the authority in this area, and you have the best effect, so Zhang Qinghuan will not doubt it." β
Yang Hua pondered for a long time, and then asked, "What about the media?" How does the media cope? Zhang Qinghuan's injury will definitely attract the attention of the media, we can deceive Zhang Qinghuan, but we can't deceive all the media, right? β
"We have already told Reporter Chen what happened, and he also expressed his support and will help us deal with his peers. As for online public opinion...... Ignore them and let them guess for themselves. Dong Wen explained. This kind of speculation may also help deepen Zhang Qinghuan's trust in his situation. β
"Looks like you're prepared...... But how can you be sure that this will be successful? β
'There's no guarantee that it will work out, and if it doesn't, the club won't buy him out and let him go back where he came from.' When Zhao Kangming said this, he looked at Dong Wen.
Dong Wen nodded in agreement.
"But it's always worth a try, and if it works, we can sign a super talent for five million. If it doesn't work out, the club won't have anything to lose. β
Yang Hua was persuaded, and he stood up: "Okay, I'll accompany you to play this play, if I can really save a genius for the shining star......"

Zhang Qinghuan was lying on the hospital bed, and just now a trainee nurse helped him raise the bed, and he smiled and said thank you, and ran out with a red face.
However, Zhang Qinghuan didn't have the heart to tease the other party at this time, he turned his head to look at the window, all the curtains were closed, except for the curtain of the first window near the bed that was opened by the little nurse just now.
The crack had been created before he could stop it, and the bright sunlight penetrated through the crack, extending from the window to the bed, and then to the opposite wall, as if to cut the dimly lit room in two.
His gaze was drawn to the golden ribbon of light.
It's too glaring.
But he couldn't reach the curtains, so he couldn't close them.
The little nurse ran so fast that before he could cry out for help, she ran out and couldn't stop shouting.
I don't know when he started to like the curtains in the room he was in, and he didn't like the feeling of the sun shining in the room.
The luxurious apartment he rented had better daylight than the one in the room, and the view was unbeatable, but he never opened the opaque curtainsβhe would rather leave all the lights on than enjoy the natural sunlight.
Just when Zhang Qinghuan was depressed in the face of the golden thread on his body, the door of the ward was pushed open.
Three people walked in, namely Dr. Yang, Director Zhao and Manager Dong.
The team's team doctor, head coach and general manager all came, and Zhang Qinghuan was a little surprised.
As soon as he entered the door, Yang Hua also noticed the light that divided the room, he frowned, walked to the side of the bed and wanted to open the curtains.
Zhang Qinghuan stopped him in time and made a request to close the curtains.
Yang Hua glanced at Zhang Qinghuan, and finally did as he asked.
The only light in the room was the bedside lamp, which became much dimer. But Zhang Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief deep in his heart.
Yang Hua didn't turn on the headlights either, in fact, such a dim environment was beneficial to himself, because Zhang Qinghuan couldn't see the unnatural expression on his face clearly......
But he didn't speak right away, because he didn't know what to say yet.
Dong Wen and Zhao Kangming stood half a body behind him and did not speak.
The three of them just looked at Zhang Qinghuan.
Zhang Qinghuan also looked at the three of them, and the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger - why did this scene make him can't help but think of the scene of "saying goodbye to the body"?
"This ...... Dr. Yang, is my test result out? He asked cautiously tentatively.
Yang Hua nodded, but still didn't speak.
"It didn't turn out well?" Zhang Qinghuan hesitated and asked.
Maybe it's going to be a season reimbursement, right? It's like Ringo...... He was a little regretful and a little unwilling, and finally he played a good performance in the game, and as a result, he was reimbursed for the season. I don't know if Brother Xu can find a suitable Chinese Super League team to accept him......
I hope that assist can help Brother Xu prove to others that I, Zhang Qinghuan, am still that genius......
"This, Zhang Qinghuan, before I tell you about the injury next, I hope you can stay calm and patient, and listen to me all ......" Yang Hua said in a low tone.
The expression on Zhang Qinghuan's face also became solemn.

"Juan'er, did that Zhang Qinghuan bully you?" In the nurse's station in the middle of the corridor, because Sun Juan had been blushing since she came out of Zhang Qinghuan's ward just now, she was a little unwilling, which attracted the attention of the other nurses.
Sun Juan hurriedly shook her head, and her ponytail flicked up: "No, no...... He just said thank you to me......"
"Then why are you like this?"
"I'll tell you, don't be deceived by that person's appearance, he's a scumbag!"
"That's it, it's said that he changes girlfriends every week......
"What girlfriend? It's all his hooking up in a nightclub bar! If you get tired of playing, change it again! β
"Did you notice the dark circles under his eyes? That's proof of overindulgence! β
"No wonder the performance on the field is not very good, it turns out that they are all hollowed out in bed......"
"Big hollow radish!"
"Hahahaha!"
The nurses chattered and teased Zhang Qinghuan.
Sun Juan whispered: "But he looks gentle......"
"Juan'er, aren't you? You won't really be smitten by him, will you? β
"Oh my God, wake up!" Someone grabbed her shoulders and shook her vigorously.
"I'll tell you, this is an important characteristic of a scumbag! He is not gentle, he does not charm you, how can he scumbag you? So don't think he's gentle, he doesn't know how cold he is when he kicks you off......"
"I heard that the Internet commented on him, saying, 'I'd rather believe that the sow will go to the tree, than believe that the Qinghuan son will be good', Juan'er, you listen, you listen to ......"
Sun Juan recalled the scene when Zhang Qinghuan smiled and said "thank you" to her, of course she had heard of those rumors on the Internet, but after meeting the real person today, it was really difficult for her to associate the "Qinghuan Son" described in the rumors on the Internet with the handsome and gentle young man in front of her.
Especially when she pushed open the door and saw him for the first time, the melancholy in those eyes hit her heart at once.
Maybe the sisters are right, this person is indeed a scumbag.
But why is it that everyone knows this, and yet so many women are still rushing to pounce on it like moths to a fire?
Or are they just superficial women who love vanity and pleasure, as the sisters say......
The little nurse frowned, unable to figure out the twists and turns behind it.

"You...... What did you say? β
Unconsciously, Zhang Qinghuan, who was sitting on the hospital bed, had straightened his waist, his head was slightly raised, and he looked at Yang Hua with wide eyes.
"That's just the way it is. It's not that you can't play, it's just that if you do, you're taking a huge risk...... There is no guarantee that you will be able to return to the court after surgery without risk...... It's not even a game, you can get injured again in training. In other words, your left foot...... Basically lost the function of kicking the ball......"
Yang Hua finished saying this with some difficulty, within his professional knowledge, it is not difficult to say such a thing, what is difficult is to make something out of nothing. Because of his weak heart, he almost didn't hold back several times in the process of speaking, and the originally skillful passage was intermittent and stumbling.
However, in Zhao Kangming's eyes, Yang Hua said that he was so entangled, maybe it would be more effective......
He set his eyes on Zhang Qinghuan who was sitting on the bed.
The young man had already written "shock" on his face.
This is indeed a result that shocked Zhang Qinghuan.
He thought that the worst would be a season reimbursement, and after a few months of recuperation, he would be able to return to the pitch again next season.
In the face of real results, the season reimbursement is not worth mentioning at all!
His injury was about to end his career!
"Why...... Why is this happening? That's impossible...... That's impossible! The more Zhang Qinghuan spoke, the more excited he became, and finally he simply roared.
Facing his questioning, Yang Hua also didn't know what to say. Of course, he can give an explanation from a professional point of view, but what he should say has already been said, Zhang Qinghuan still doesn't believe it, what else can he say? Do you want to show him the film? That's not going to work...... As soon as the film is taken out, it has to be exposed, because Zhang Qinghuan's ankle ligament is nothing to do with the film.
He looked back at Zhao Kangming and Dong Wen, and cast a look at them for help.
In his gaze for help, Dong Wen did not react.
In the end, Zhao Kangming stood up and said, "What's impossible about this? What has become of your body with your unbridled indulgence in the past few years, don't you know yourself, Zhang Qinghuan? β
Zhang Qinghuan, who was still very angry and excited, suddenly stunned when he heard Zhao Kangming's words.
Seeing Zhang Qinghuan's reaction, Zhao Kangming knew that he had made the right bet.
Zhang Qinghuan must also be well aware of the reason for the difference in his performance before and after yesterday's game.
So he decided to strike while the iron was hot and cook raw rice into a ripe meal: "That's right, your ball sense and consciousness are still there, but your body has become a piece of rotten wood!" When you look at it there, no one can see it, but as soon as you play, it's all exposed! Football is very honest, Zhang Qinghuan. As much as you usually give, you will gain in the competition. You usually don't pay, you keep overdrafting, and you have to pay it back in the end! Three years, how many three years can you have in your career? You've been desperately overdrawn for three years, and the price is your entire future career! Do you still want to play? You have no ball to kick!! β
Hearing Zhao Kangming reprimand Zhang Qinghuan in a fierce voice, Yang Hua couldn't help but turn his head to look at the head coach of the team.
In his impression, Zhao Kangming is a very kind head coach, rarely speaking harshly, with a kind attitude and always a smile on his face.
I didn't expect him to have such a stern side.
Zhang Qinghuan looked at the head coach blankly, feeling that Coach Zhao had become extremely unfamiliar.
Zhao Kangming sighed again after his cruel words, and his voice became a little tired: "But you don't have to pay too much attention to this matter, you don't want to play football anyway." Now that you're retiring, it's a good thing for you, at least...... You're relieved. β
He spread out his hands and looked at Zhang Qinghuan.
"You can go to the bar and go to the clubs until the middle of the night without worrying about training tomorrow morning. You also don't have to pretend to be on the training ground to handle errands. It doesn't matter how much you want to drink, it doesn't matter if you want to change a woman a day, no one cares about you, it's all up to you. You don't have to bear the pressure of being called a 'super genius', you don't have to face the abuse of those fans, and you don't have to pay attention to the ridicule and accusations of the media...... When you are twenty-three years old, you are so happy to enjoy your retirement, anyway, you have made a lot of money over the years, and the money you have earned is enough for you to live this life. How good, honestly I envy you. β
After speaking, Zhao Kangming suddenly turned around and left, not continuing to stay.
Dong Wen and Yang Hua didn't expect him to do this.
After hesitating for a moment, the two of them quickly followed out - after all, stay and let them face Zhang Qinghuan, who was still in the dark, in case Zhang Qinghuan asked them questions, or made a move beyond their expectations, they really didn't know how to deal with it...... It's better to walk away.
They thought that Zhao Kangming might have the same idea as them, so they left suddenly.
The three of them opened the door and walked out, and Zhang Qinghuan was the only one left in the ward.
He sat on the bed like a statue.
Rotten wood statues.
