At the entrance and exit of the subway station in Jincheng, there is an elderly aunt who is handing the newspaper in her hand to everyone who passes by her, some people walk in front of her indifferently, some people raise their hands and gently shake their refusals, but some people take the free newspaper, and then walk into the subway station with their armpits.

In today's society, the space for newspapers to survive has become smaller and smaller, even if it is a traditional newspaper, it has opened a mobile phone application that is more suitable for this era.

But there will always be those who are unwilling to keep up with the times, or prefer to enjoy the pleasure of paper reading.

In the crowded morning rush hour subway car, when people are crowded, only a very small number of people sitting can open the newspaper to read the news and pass the time.

More people are looking down at their phones.

There are also some people who look up at the multimedia TV in the subway car.

Passengers who opened the newspaper soon saw the photo of Hulay celebrating after his goal in a prominent position.

The above is a very conspicuous headline: "Flashstar ends two-round winless streak and beats Kunyang City away!" ”

The subtitle is a little smaller, but it's also clear: "Nineteen-year-old comes off the bench to score his first goal on his career debut."

Then he seemed to feel something, raised his head, and just in time to see the highlight video of yesterday's Chinese League match appearing on the multimedia TV in the subway car.

The subtitles at the bottom of the screen tell him that the young centre-back who scored the goal was named Hulai.

But the subway car was too noisy to hear clearly on the TV news.

But it didn't matter, because he saw how the winning goal of the shining star was scored through the video. The central defender actually rose to the top, not to mention the top, and rubbed the football directly to the feet of the shining star No. 33, this kid is too lucky, right?

After watching the whole process of Hulai's goal, he stared down at the newspaper in his hand and read the report about the game with relish.

This scene happened not only in crowded subway cars, but also in countless buses, sidewalks, and elevators.

Some people do it through traditional newspapers, some through multimedia TV news, and some through their mobile phones.

Those who don't usually pay much attention to football know Hulai's name.

No matter how restrained Chen Jianyu is, a 19-year-old boy scored on his first career to help his team win and end a two-game winless run...... It's legendary enough.

Not only offline, but also online.

Among those who go to work and school, I don't know how many "low-headed people" are actually using their mobile phones to pay attention to Hulai......

Chen Jianyu hopes not to put too much pressure on Hu Lai, and hopes that Hu Lai's influence on becoming famous with one goal will be less.

But that's his wishful thinking.

With the return of Qin Lin, more and more people are paying attention to the shining star, how can Hu Lai, who has such a dreamy script, not be eye-catching?

Dong Wen put down the phone, he had just finished the call with Fang Xinjie's agent.

In this call, Fang Xinjie's agent still asked for an annual salary of 2.6 million yuan.

Of course, Dong Wen knew why he was so fearless, and the team did have trouble in attack, but he didn't just agree to the other party's request.

Negotiating, if you agree too quickly, it is very likely that the other party will think that they can raise the price again......

Dong Wen was unwilling to leave such a false perception to Fang Xinjie's agent.

He was reluctant to agree to this number if it was not a last resort.

The other party's agent also took Qin Lin out as an example, Dong Wen wanted to laugh a little when he heard it, but fortunately he held back.

What are you Fang Xinjie? Can you compare with Qin Lin?

Qin Lin is the captain of the Chinese national team, the former captain of the South China Tigers, and the person who has led the team to win the Chinese Super League championship, the AFC Champions League, and the FA Cup.

He also won the Asian Footballer of the Year and the Chinese Footballer of the Year......

People can get four million because they are really worthy, and he actually took a salary cut when he came to Shining Star - Qin Lin's last contract with the South China Tiger was an annual salary of 10 million yuan.

Fang Xinjie, who has not even been selected for the national team training camp once, why is he compared with Qin Lin?

Another reason why he was not in a hurry to agree to Fang Xinjie's conditions was on his desk at this time.

He set his sights on the "City Morning Post", the sports edition was face up, placed on his desk, and the news of the 1:0 victory over Kunyang City occupied the whole page, in addition to the match report, there were all kinds of related reports, including sketches, reporters' codex, ball reviews, and ...... Wait a minute.

But the stories are arranged around a photo, or rather a photo in the most prominent position in this edition.

The photo was the back of the player who scored the only goal for the shining star, with his hands behind his back, his legs spread apart, and his back slightly bowed. As he said in his post-match interview, he was showing his jersey number and last name to everyone.

No. 33, Hulay.

This is the young player that head coach Zhao Kangming insisted on bringing in.

At first, he didn't take it too seriously, a young player, the manager wants to bring it in, and it doesn't cost much anyway. And if you have to refuse even the introduction of young players, where will the manager's face go? Unless the club is about to fire Zhao Kangming, there is no need to fall out with the head of the coaching staff.

And he agreed.

The only thing I just felt was that the name was a little familiar, familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere before.

It wasn't until this time that he traveled with the team on an away trip, and when Hulai scored, he suddenly remembered where he had heard the name before - wasn't this the middle school talent that the team's scout Dai Zetao had called him to report? At that time, he also authorized him to try to persuade the other party to join the team.

But then it didn't work out, and I didn't pay attention to it anymore.

Unexpectedly, after going around and around, he still joined the shining star......

Dong Wen, who was not interested in this young man, suddenly became interested, and he didn't know if this young man would make him change his attitude towards the other party's transfer deal, but he thought that it was always right to know more about his players, right?

So he picked up his mobile phone again and dialed Dai Zetao's phone: "Xiao Dai, where are you?" Didn't travel on a business trip, did you? At the club, huh? That's right, you can come to my office. ”

"Da Chu Da Chu! Hulay has scored! Scored in the first league appearance! It's a bunker! ”

The roommate jumped out of bed and pointed to the phone screen and shouted at Chu Yifan, who had just entered the house.

"I know." He smiled at his excited roommates. "I have his WeChat, and I saw his circle of friends last night."

"That's amazing...... roommate shook his head and sighed. When we went to the stars from Poseidon Juniors, we all thought that he would have to play in the first team for at least a year or two, but we didn't expect ......."

"Yes, even if we all know that Zhao Kangming knows Hu Lai better and likes Hu Lai more, we didn't expect him to like it to this extent! Hulai has only been there for two weeks, hasn't he? can come off the bench in the middle league......" Another roommate poked his head out of the top bunk to join the discussion.

"How else can you say that people are 'like father and son'?"

"It's a pity that we can't see the Shining Star game here......"

Chu Yifan said: "It's okay, doesn't Lingnan also have a Chinese A team?" I searched for the schedule for the second half of the season of the Chinese League, and the flashing stars played Nanhai, which happened to be the home stadium of Nanhai. We can go and watch the game when the time comes. ”

When he said this, he immediately received a positive response from everyone in the dormitory: "Great! When the time comes, isn't it better to go live to watch the game than to watch live TV? ”

However, some people thought about a question, raised their hands and said: "Then we have to buy tickets to the away team area, otherwise what if Hulai scores a goal, we cheer for him and are beaten by the surrounding South China Sea fans?" ”

A group of people looked at each other, and then nodded one after another: "Reasonable, low-key!" ”

Chu Yifan glanced at his mobile phone, in the group of the football team of Dongchuan Middle School, Yan Yan had already begun to organize his former teammates who were in college in Jincheng to cheer for Hu Lai.

From this point of view, they are much more convenient than themselves......

A little envious.

Luo Kai finally knew that Hu Lai had scored a goal - Chen Xingyi told him - and the two of them did not know when they added WeChat, but they rarely kept in touch.

This time, Chen Xingyi took the initiative to contact Luo Kai just to tell him such a "bad news".

After all, you can't just be unhappy by yourself......

Sure enough, after Luo Kai heard the news, he told Chen Xingyi in a long silence that he was very, very, very unhappy.

Chen Xingyi smiled happily with his mobile phone, and he didn't care if Luo Kai replied to him for a long time.

Luo Kai didn't care about chatting with Chen Xingyi anymore, he ran to search for the news of Hulai's goal.

Typing keywords such as "Hulai" and "Shining Star" into the mobile browser, a lot of news and online articles about Hulai's goal popped up.

"Who is Hulai who scored on his debut and helped the team win? Today, I will introduce you to Hulai ......"

"The real-life version of a goal to fame! The middle league is staged! ”

"The gorgeous metamorphosis of the former top scorer of the National High School Football Championship!"

"Who says there's no future in school football? Who says those high school players go to the pros just for the show? Look at Hulai! ”

"Luo Kai and Hu Lai, both of them were once talented players in the Dongchuan Middle School team, but after joining the professional team, fate directed the two of them in two completely different directions. Hulai made the leap from youth to professional first team in a very short period of time and also scored a goal in the professional league yesterday. As for Luo Kai, it's been almost three years, and he has just started to play sporadically in the first team, you must know that the talent of the two people at the beginning is better than Luo Kai. The result? Hulai is the late finisher and has already scored, while Rokai has yet to score. Obviously more talented than his former teammates, and obviously entered the professional team echelon earlier than his former teammates, but why was it Hulai who scored the first goal of a middle school player on the professional field first? ”

This post on the "Goal" online forum is even more like Luo Kai's forehead jumping.

Because every word of this article says about his sore spots, and it hits the nail on the head.

Yes, obviously he is more talented than Hulai, obviously he has been the pride of the sky on the football field since he was a child, obviously he came to the professional team echelon a year earlier than Hulai, and he has the lead in everything.

But why, it was Hulai who scored first in the end?

Scoring the first goal of a Chinese secondary school player on a professional stage deserves to go down in history alone.

This man is Hulai, not him.

Why?

Is he inferior to him in any way?

This night, Luo Kai was destined to have a bad night's sleep......
