Chapter 56: The Father and the Son
Zhang Qinghuan once felt that he was in a never-ending decline, falling in darkness without light and sound.
He used to shout and scream for help, but he couldn't make a sound when his mouth was open.
He waved his hands, trying to grab something to stop himself from sliding, but in vain.
Nothing was caught, or there was nothing to be caught by him in the darkness.
Then he began to count silently in his mind, thinking that by counting to three, he would be able to keep his feet on the ground.
But no.
Count three times, and it's still falling.
Dozens of times, and it's still falling.
Count a hundred, and still can't see the bottom.
Then he began to fantasize that maybe the next second would be able to end the fall.
The next second, the next second, the next time......
In the end, he doesn't count how much time has passed. Accustomed to this feeling of weightlessness during the fall, he even had some ...... I don't want that feeling to go away, I don't want to have a moment when I really have my feet on the ground.
The reason why he likes to drink so much may be because every time he gets drunk, the world spins and turns can make him find a sense of vertigo that falls endlessly.
Suddenly, it seems that it is not falling, but flying......
In fact, at the beginning, he also thought very seriously about whether this was not bad, but then when he thought of his father, such a healthy and cheerful person, he said that if he didn't say it, it would be gone, and he felt that since he never knew which would come first, tomorrow or the accident, why not cherish the present moment and have fun in time?
Didn't the great poet Li Bai say that "life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon"......
There is wine today, drunk today, and sorrow tomorrow comes.
It's just that he didn't think that one day he would suddenly be told that there was no tomorrow, and all the sorrows, worries and anguish were accumulated in the present day.
This is the end of his career!
He was frightened and helpless, not knowing what to do.
At that moment, the cell phone placed at the bedside rang.
The ringtone pierced the darkness that had no light or sound, and he was like a man about to drown, desperately trying to grasp the life-saving straw, and grabbed his phone suddenly.
Then he froze.
It was my mother calling.
"Huanhuan, I saw that the news said that you were injured, and it doesn't seem to be doing well?" As soon as the phone was connected, he heard his mother's eager voice. "What the hell is going on?"
Hearing his mother's voice, Zhang Qinghuan could no longer control his emotions and cried bitterly: "Mom......"

Hu Lai finished training, returned to the locker room with his teammates, changed his clothes, and waited for Wang Guangwei to pack up and go back to the rental house together.
At this moment, assistant coach Chen Mo suddenly appeared at the door of the locker room.
He knocked on the door.
In the originally lively locker room, I saw a coach coming, so I quieted down. Head coach Zhao is a very kind person, but assistant coach Chen Moke is a very powerful and ruthless character......
In this silence, Chen Mo looked at Hu Lai and said, "Hu Lai, come here." ”
Everyone looked at Hulai with puzzled eyes, and they didn't understand why the assistant coach suddenly came to him.
If anything, the coach will just keep people at the end of the team's training.
Hu Lai knew that this might have something to do with Zhang Qinghuan.
So he said to Wang Guangwei: "Don't wait for me for a while, pack up and go back by yourself." ”
Wang Guangwei didn't ask, nodded and agreed.
Hulai got up and left with the assistant coach in full view.
As soon as he left, his teammates came to ask Wang Guangwei: "Guangwei, do you know why Hu Lai was called away alone?" ”
Wang Guangwei spread his hands: "I don't know either......"

Hu Lai met a person he had never seen before in the office of Zhao Kangming and Zhao's guidance. It looks like he should be middle-aged, about the same age as Director Zhao, but the hair on his temples is completely white, and only the hair in the middle is still black.
His face was wrinkled deeply, and he was frowning, which made his expression look a little sad.
Seeing Hu Lai coming in, Zhao Kangming beckoned to him: "Come on, let me introduce you, this is Yongjun, is ...... Uh......"
A middle-aged man named Yongjun took the initiative to introduce: "I used to be Zhang Qinghuan's agent and a good friend of his parents. ”
Hulai looked at him strangely, not understanding what this had to do with him.
"That's right, Mr. Yong was entrusted by Zhang Qinghuan's mother to come to Jincheng to see Zhang Qinghuan's situation. He approached the club and hoped to see an X-ray of Zhang Qinghuan's left ankle......"
Hu Lai now understands that it is normal for people to ask for X-rays, but neither Director Zhao nor Dr. Yang can take it out. So seeing that this scam was about to be exposed, Director Zhao made himself the culprit...... No, it was the initiator who pushed it out.
But Hu Lai is such an easy person, he looked confused: "Then Zhao will guide you to show others." ”
"Huh." Director Zhao smiled slightly.
Chen Mo next to him glared at Hu Lai: "Don't pretend to be crazy and stupid here, Hu Lai." You kid came up with the idea! ”
Yongjun watched the conversation between the three people on the side, his eyes turned around them, he didn't quite understand what was going on, but he vaguely felt that things didn't seem to be as simple as he saw......
As soon as Chen Mo spoke, Hu Lai became honest, and he turned to Yongjun: "Uncle, how is your relationship with Zhang Qinghuan?" ”
"Uh......" Yongjun made a difficult mistake in the face of this question.
Seeing this, Hu Lai explained: "Because what we have to say to Uncle next has something to do with Zhang Qinghuan's future." If you're not the type of person you can trust, then I won't say a word. This is the dead rule that Director Zhao gave me. ”
After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Kangming.
"Hey, this kid ......" Chen Mo didn't expect Hu Lai to actually counter Zhao Kangming's army.
However, Zhao Kangming didn't care, smiled slightly, and admitted Hu Lai's words.
"It's hard for me to tell you what my relationship with Qinghuan is." Yongjun understood, he explained. "I used to have a good relationship with him, I was a good friend of his parents, we knew each other for many years, and I was his former agent. Of course it's not now, because Qing Huan felt that I was too strict with him and was dissatisfied with me, so he fired me. However, I still have a very good relationship with his family. This time, it was his mother who called him, and only then did he know that he was going to retire due to injury...... She was shocked, but she was not in good health and could not travel far, so she had to let me come and take a trip to Jincheng to see his son. ”
After Yongjun said this, a very strange thought popped up in Hu Lai's mind - why did his son ask a friend for such a big thing...... What about his father?
He wanted to ask, but he didn't know if it would make everyone embarrassed.
Yongjun saw Hu Lai's little eyes blinking, how could he not understand?
So he quickly explained: "I didn't make it clear...... Qing Huan's father passed away three years ago. ”
A room full of people, not only Hu Lai, but also Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo were all surprised.
Because they hadn't heard of it before!
"This ...... The death of Qinghuan's father was a very sad and unfortunate thing for Qinghuan and his mother. This kind of thing is not worth publicizing everywhere, so only people in a small circle know about it, and not even a few journalists know about it. ”
Hu Lai listened to Yongjun's explanation, but an idea suddenly popped into his mind:
Zhang Qinghuan's father died three years ago, and it seems that Zhang Qinghuan's indulgence has lasted for three years, will there be any connection between this?
The reason why he had this idea was because there was a similar example in the plane he traveled to.
Former Inter Milan star and Brazilian striker, "The King" Adriano, who was once a talented man and was considered by his teammates to be a combination of Ronaldo and Ibrahimovic, is hoping that their king will one day be on the throne.
But in the end, the super-talent didn't live up to his talent and didn't become what people expected him to be.
On the contrary, he fell at a very fast pace.
sang every night, and even slept in a nightclub. Giving himself completely to alcohol and women, wanton indulgence.
Even the president of the club and the team's dressing room leaders, who cared for him like their own children and helped him, still failed to pull him out of his depravity.
Adriano later admits that his father's death was a great blow to him, and he has been in a state of collapse ever since, facing great mental problems.
Of course, there are also some fans on the Internet who think that Adriano said this just to find a reason for his depravity and put the blame on his dead father, and the dead will not stand up from the coffin to refute him anyway.
This argument has always been very marketable. After suffering so much criticism from China's genius Dong Fangzhuo, it was not until he retired that he came forward to clarify those rumors, but few people care about the truth anymore, they only care about what they think is the truth.
Adriano's side and others testified about how much his father's trends affected him. And Dong Fangzhuo's clarifications are just regarded as quibbles by some fans......
Inter Milan captain Zanetti said in a later interview that when Adriano received the phone to be told the bad news, they were in the room, and he still can't forget the screams that Adriano let out after hanging up the phone, "in a way that no one could have imagined".
Zanetti also admitted that their failure to pull him out of the dark passage was his biggest failure, and he felt incompetent as a result.
Because the sudden death of a loved one has a huge impact on a person, it can turn a world-class super genius into a self-depraved gangster.
This kind of thing does not exist only in the stories made up by literati and ink writers, but really exists in the world.
So although Hu Lai had never heard Zhang Qinghuan admit it in person, he immediately linked the two things together.
He looked at Yongjun with wide eyes: "Does that Zhang Qinghuan have anything to do with his father's death now?" ”
Yongjun didn't expect Hu Lai to see what was behind the appearance at once, he cast a surprised look at Hu Lai, and then nodded: "Qing Huan has never admitted it, but his mother and I think so." For Qing Huan, his father is not just a father, Lao Zhang is the leader of his son's football and the enlightenment coach. After Qing Huan showed his talent, he sent Qing Huan to the sports school, at least four times a week, each time riding a bicycle across half of the capital, taking him to the sports school to practice......"
With Yongjun's narration, Hu Lai, Zhao Kangming and Chen Mo gradually sketched the image of Zhang Qinghuan's father in their respective minds.
He is an old football fan, in order to allow his son to concentrate on football, he quit his public office, sold his house, and accompanied his son 365 days a year, no matter the wind or rain. accompanied him to play football in the sports school, accompanied him into the reserve team of the capital Tenglong Club, and accompanied him to upgrade in the echelon level by level, all the way to the first team of Tenglong.
My son goes to play with the team, no matter how far away, he will follow, standing on the sidelines with a hand-held DV to shoot the picture of his son playing football.
After the game is over, he will combine the video he took to review the game with his son, analyze his performance, correct problems if there are problems, and praise good performance.
In this way, day after day, year after year, under his careful care and careful cultivation, his son has become a super talent who has attracted the attention of fans all over China, and everyone pinned their hopes on him for the Chinese team to participate in the World Cup.
Next, it should be the son who is fighting the field, and the father is pleased to watch his son's game from the stands, and continues to accompany him into the national team and participate in the World Cup qualifiers, until he finally meets his son in the World Cup, which has become a good story in Chinese football.
Including Yongjun, people who know the story of their father and son think so.
That's how the story should go.
“…… But who would have thought that a person who is usually quite healthy would suddenly ...... on the way to watch his son's game away from home Nope. Later, the doctor said what kind of spinal arteriovenous malformation...... We don't know, a good person, no illness or pain, how to say that it is gone...... Qing Huan was even more unacceptable. Since then, I have noticed that he is not mentally right, and he is not active and serious in training, and he always wants to go out, go to nightclubs, and go to bars. When Lao Zhang was still with him before, he was not like this...... I didn't let him go, he first quarreled with me, and then he simply avoided me and went secretly, and when I found out, he continued to argue. Later, he simply asked me to terminate the contract, and I was tired of arguing with him at that time, and I wanted to terminate the contract...... Now that I think about it, I regret that I shouldn't have agreed to terminate the contract at that time, I should have watched him closely and defended him closely......"
Speaking of this, Yongjun seemed to be joking, but his smile was extremely bitter.
After listening to Zhang Qinghuan's untold story, the other three people in the room fell silent.
And Yongjun looked at them and asked, "Now can you tell me, what happened to Qing Huan?" ”
The three of them looked at each other, and finally Zhao Kangming stood up: "Mr. Yong, things are actually like this......"
