Chapter 4 (46) (Part II)

The club's temporary base is located in this secondary school. The club has never had its own base, and the training grounds, players' dormitories and office areas are all rented. Last season they trained on a field on loan from a university where the dormitory and offices were located. A few days after he reported to the club, the whole club moved here. For this relocation, the reason for the club is to facilitate management, but the real reason is that the cost here is much cheaper than in the city, and more importantly, here they can monopolize the school's playground, and they don't have to look at the face of the university as they did last year, and they don't have to interrupt training from time to time to make room for physical education classes for college students.

The school's guest house is the club's office area and dormitory, with offices on the first floor and dormitories on the second and third floors. It's a very easy way to manage, and in their spare time, everything they do is under the noses of the coaching staff and the club, and whoever wants to be opportunistic has to put more thought into it than usual. When they first settled in, naïve club officials thought they had succeeded in curbing the bad habits of the players, but it turned out that it was just wishful thinking on the part of the club. From the day they moved in, the team members began to relentlessly search for a way to "freedom". In order to get rid of the club's "unkind" rough management, the players made a variety of attempts in a short period of time, climbing ladders one by one, and this ancient method was quickly cracked by the coaching staff's patrols around the building several times a night; The method of tearing the bed sheet and tying the long rope is time-consuming and laborious, as well as strong technical and limited, and it was abandoned by the team members as soon as it was proposed; In the end, the warriors unanimously adopted the confrontation method is to climb the stormwater pipe of the building, which is reliable, safe, concealed, but also exercises strength and physical coordination, and most importantly, can be used repeatedly, the club can not dismantle the storm pipe like confiscating the player's mobile phone page, right? The team members even gave a special term to this newly opened road: the second line, the second line, the second lifeline......

The initial facilities of the school guest house were very rudimentary. There is neither air conditioning nor a separate bathroom, and the four showers on the wall in the public restroom at the end of each floor are the only showers. Of course, there is no hot water available 24 hours a day, in fact, the guest house does not supply hot water at all, and hot showers can only go to the students' large public baths. The team members who just moved in were so angry that they blew up their lungs! There is no air conditioner to bear, the big deal is to let the fan rotate 24 hours a day, and it can always be used at the top; But there is no separate bathroom to almost kill the players, two training times a day in the morning and afternoon, who is not rolling in the dirt and sweating, and can not take a comfortable hot shower, this is simply not treating them as people! The club still wants to play football! If you don't want to do it, get out! Exercising the qualities of will? Whoever wants to exercise will exercise, Lao Tzu will not serve!

Under the threat of a collective boycott of the players, the club replaced the doors and windows of each room and installed air conditioning in just one week, and with the consent of the school, the construction team was invited to completely renovate the water and gas pipes and public toilets of the guest house, which finally calmed down the grievances of the players. Afterwards, the club's financial department made a special calculation for this, and the results showed that the new expenses did not eat up the surplus generated by the replacement of the base, and the club boss was relieved. In addition to being glad that he didn't spend more money to do stupid things, he had to sigh at the good luck of the secondary school, not to mention that he earned a rent for nothing, and most of the benefits of the club's renovation of the school guest house would also fall into the pockets of the school and become the political achievements of the school leaders.

On the concrete road leading to the guest house were parked one after another, about a dozen cars, of which only one black sedan belonged to the club, and the rest were the personal property of the players. Every time he walked here and saw the vehicles on the side of the road, Zhang Chi sighed in his heart, alas, when he came to the club to report, how eagerly he was looking forward to the day when he could park his favorite car here, but God did not fulfill people's wishes, not only did he not drive his own car, but also spent all the money he had saved to buy a car in the past 28 days; He not only spent all his savings, but also spent more than half of the 30,000 yuan that Gao Jinsong forced into him, but in the end, he still didn't gain anything......

The lights were on in the duty room of the club at the entrance of the first floor, and the door was not completely closed, and a corner of the TV screen could be seen through the crack in the door.

A figure was shaking in the duty room of the guest house, and a woman in a plain uniform heard the footsteps, leaned out half of her body to look, and when she saw that it was him, she shrank back again.

Without stopping, he walked straight up the stairs and straight back to his room.

The room was so messy that it was almost impossible to put your feet down. Dirty jerseys and shoes and socks were thrown everywhere, and the air was filled with a frowning sour smell. Dragged onto the coffee table between the two single beds and the sofa, a few packets of cheap snacks opened or unopened were thrown around, and a messy deck of playing cards was pressed underneath the snacks; Cigarette butts were thrown on the foot floor in front of the coffee table. Two crumpled cigarette cases were thrown in the corner, accompanied by a pile of empty plastic bottles, next to a torn newspaper, and a tattered advertising poster, in which the female celebrity was drawn with a pen to her lips with two funny mustaches, and a large beautiful eye was painted black and then poked into a hole......

He sighed silently and walked into the room. He tucked his travel bag into the sofa, took out the remote control of the air conditioner from the gap in the sofa, turned off the still humming air conditioner, and then went around the coffee table to open the window. A cool night breeze immediately blew in his face, and the sullenness that had almost exploded in his heart eased a lot.

He stood in front of the window, closed his eyes, and breathed in the cool breeze that smelled of dust affectionately.

It wasn't until he felt the tumbling waves in his heart gradually subside that he turned around, found a useless plastic bag, threw all the small debris on the coffee table on the table and his bed into the plastic bag, and then put the bulging bag in the hallway by the door. He didn't want to make another run for it, and the waiter at the guest house would take it away tomorrow morning while they were cleaning.

After a cursory tidy-up, he opened his bedside cabinet, found a clean change of clothes, and pulled out his slippers from under the bed and under the sofa, ready to take a shower.

Only then did he notice a man standing in the doorway.

It is the club's assistant coach Hou Jingye and head coach Qi Guohua's watchdog!

"Hou Gui!" He greeted him respectfully, and immediately a smile was piled up on his face, and he put down what he was doing and enthusiastically let the man into the room.

"When did you come back?" Hou Jingye asked coldly, and walked into the room as he spoke, but he was indifferent to his enthusiasm, and did not sit down on the sofa he cleaned up.

"Just got off ......"

"Why didn't you go to the duty room to cancel the leave?" Hou Jingye is still in a business-like tone.

He didn't know how to answer the question. Cancellation of fakes? This is ridiculous! When he left the team last month, he received a verbal notice from the assistant coach in front of him, telling him to immediately contact his new club! He didn't take any leave from the club at all! But he couldn't answer like that, so he said, "I'll go right away." As he spoke, he pulled his travel bag and pulled out his things. I went back to my hometown and bought some specialties by the way, these two bottles of wine ......"

Hou Jingye didn't even glance at the delicate packaging of the two bottles of Moutai in his hand, and said, "The club doesn't come to this set." ”

Zhang Chi gritted his teeth. He suddenly had an idea: since no one was willing to pay for that cheap transfer for him, the club couldn't let him go for nothing, right? He might have a chance to stay here longer. Of course, it will take a while to stay, but fortunately, he still has a few cash in his pocket, and he may be able to get it done. And he can also take out part of his salary subsidy for the second half of the year as a promise, maybe he can impress others. "You have to stay in League B first, and then you can have a chance." In a hurry, he couldn't remember who said it. He's got to take every chance he gets to stay in League B! As long as he can stay in the first B club, as long as he can seize one or two opportunities to prove himself, and only need a few seconds of performance time, he can live again - like Gao Jinsong, he has become a sweet spot for several clubs to compete for! Right! Jinsong! When he turned around, he hung up the phone for Jinsong and borrowed some money to get the things in front of him done! It's got to happen!

Almost in the blink of an eye, he had made up his mind.

He pulled out a small palm-sized box from the bottom of his duffel bag and placed it on the table. Under the light, the crimson velvet exudes an alluring sheen, and the small gilded crown on the top of the box shines brightly.

He immediately found that Hou Jingye's gaze was completely attracted by the small box. He wasted no time in opening the box, and inside was a watch that looked as fine as a craft. This is a good thing he bought in Chongqing, and he originally wanted to use it to knock on the door of Chongqing Green Maple, but the matter was too tricky, and the certainty of success was too low, and the people he found didn't dare to accept it at all.

Hou Jingye's gaze circled around the watch several times, and asked, "Have you gained anything from going out this time?" He frowned and looked at the jersey crumpled on the armrest of the sofa, Zhang Chi quickly pulled the jersey over and threw it on the ground next to him, and then he sat down on the sofa. You speak, I'll listen. For the first time, a slight smile appeared on his lips.

Harvest? He's got a shit harvest! No! I can't say no, at least I still have friends! Until now, he is glad that he went to Wuhan and met Jinsong, and the words and things that Jinsong said and did still make his heart warm when he thinks about it......

Of course, he couldn't tell Hou Jingye these things in his heart. He can only find out how to choreograph his loyalty and love for the club, as well as his respect and gratitude to Coach Hou and other coaches. While he was saying things that were against his heart, his heart was extremely painful, and on the one hand he was ashamed of himself, and at the same time he felt sad that he had to do it.

Fortunately, Director Hou is also self-aware, knowing that these obedient words in Zhang Chi's mouth have nothing to do with him, in fact, both of them understand that these disgusting words are just to alleviate the contradictions that have existed between the two people for a long time, and the purpose of easing the contradictions is to make it more convenient for Zhang Chi to give gifts to Hou Jingye and receive gifts more comfortably......

Hou Jingye smoked the cigarette that Zhang Chijing gave him, leaned sideways on the sofa, stared at the dazzling watch under the light, and thought for a long time before he said slowly: "I didn't know before, your feelings for the team are so deep. It seems that in your case, some of the club's practices are indeed underconsidered and too arbitrary. But it's also very difficult to correct it now, after all, it's a collective decision......"

Zhang Chi immediately said that he would never embarrass Director Hou in this matter, as long as Director Hou could point out the way, let him do the rest.

"There's not much resistance in the club." Hou Jingye frowned and said, "Kesang is very entangled there. You know, Director Qi has always had a clear distinction between public and private, and he can't rub sand in his eyes, once he decides something, it will be difficult for others to make him change his mind......"

Zhang Chi immediately threw out his own cake. As long as he can stay in the team, then in the future, he will divide half of all his income, including his salary, subsidy, appearance fee and bonus, to Qi Gui, or anyone Qi Gui trusts. And he will not forget the friendship of Director Hou, as long as he can give these words to Director Qi, he will thank him heavily.

This condition made Hou Jingye can't help but take a breath. He glanced at Zhang Chi in dismay. He has been an assistant coach for a long time, and he has been in the football circle for twenty or thirty years, and he has eaten a lot of money that should not be eaten, and he has received a lot of gifts that should not be received, but this is the first time I have heard of such conditions! This kind of condition is more impressive than how much cash you can give away at one time! How could Qi Guohua not agree to such conditions? He would definitely say yes! Think about it, as long as he is still coaching this club, as long as Zhang Chi is still the main force of this club, then money will pour into his pocket like an endless river.

A cold breath spread down Hou Jingye's spine and instantly spread throughout his body. He didn't dare to imagine what the situation would be like for this club if Zhang Chi and Qi Guohua really reached a deal and involved this kind of deal with other players; Technique, level, form, training, quality, all the things that are extremely important to the players will become insignificant in the golden light...... What it would be like if that kind of thing spread to other clubs. What if it spreads to the whole league? Or something else? A deep sense of guilt weighed heavily on him, causing his back to bend involuntarily.

Can't let them do that! It's going to ruin football! A voice shouted in his heart.

But the other one was louder: why stop it? Anyway, you also have benefits, Qi Guohua eats meat, and everyone drinks some soup; Besides, it is impossible to ruin football by doing so, football is so big, can it be said that it will be ruined? At most, it will ruin the club. If it's ruined, it's ruined, anyway, they're selling dog meat on the head of a sheep, and it's not football in the first place. Then again, you didn't come here to be an assistant to make money, why bother with money, people said: thank you! ……

He opened his mouth a few times, but he couldn't get out half a word. The room was so quiet that he could hear his own rapid, heavy gasps, and his own drumming heartbeat.

"I'll help you and guide Qi." Hou Jingye gritted his teeth and earned these words.

Hou Jingye walked away with the velvet box. Before leaving, he repeatedly explained to Zhang Chi that this matter must not be revealed to anyone, and at the same time, he also reminded Zhang Chi that it was still a matter of two things whether he could stay or not. He told Zhang Chi: "You can tell the club that is interesting to you that you are a zero-price transfer, as long as they are willing to accept you, you can not pay." ”

For Zhang Chi, of course, it is a good thing to be able to make zero transfers, although his value should be very low, but the transfer fee of more than 100,000 yuan still makes several clubs shake their heads, so that his transfer will have some turnaround. But these words came out of Hou Jingye's mouth, is it reliable?

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll go talk to the club!" Director Hou narrowed his eyes and said categorically.

Zhang Chi glanced at Hou Jingye in surprise. It was the first time he had heard such bold and responsible words from Hou Jingye's mouth, and he was inevitably a little uncomfortable. Of course, he wouldn't know that Hou Jingye hadn't made up his mind to help him or not. In fact, Director Hou, who accepted his heavy gift, did not speak for him until the end, and in order to send him away, the demon, Hou Jingye crossed his authority for the first time in his life and became a returnee......

Sending off the assistant coach, Zhang Chi's mood is also much more relaxed, zero transfer may be able to impress one or two clubs, but more importantly, Hou Jingye has promised to find a way for him, and it seems that there will not be too many twists and turns in staying in the club, because Hou Jingye has always had a good reputation in bribery; As long as he dares to accept gifts, it means that he is sure.

He still didn't know what kind of harm the promise he had just made in desperation would bring to his career......

He should be grateful to Hou Jingye. Coach Hou may not be a competent coach, and may have done many wrong things, but in this matter, Coach Hou saved him. Although we know that this will happen in our league sooner or later, it should not be caused by Zhang Chilai, or rather, we don't want him to cause it; What happened to him was bad enough......
