Chapter 32: Tony's Decision
"So am I ......" Allegri gestured with a sum of money, asking me to be a part-time coach, right, I should be paid more.
"Mr. Allegri! Don't you blush?! Make such a request?! I know Gigi thinks highly of you, but don't forget that I'm his close friend! You take such a high income, and you are embarrassed to ask for compensation for doing some small things?! Wage increases?! I suspect my ears misheard! Giorgio said angrily.
"Yes, you heard me wrong! Mr. Esposito! Allegri immediately said, "I'll come up with a training plan before Mr. Colani comes back!" β
For the guy in front of him who turned his face faster than a book, Allegri was completely speechless, and in the face of this local snake, he could only choose to give in!
Isn't my request too much?! It seems that there is a little bit of it!
Despite thinking so, when he walked out of Giorgio's office, Allegri couldn't help but sigh secretly, "Black shop, this veritable black shop!" β
It was a pleasure to meet Tony and Marta, and the dinner went on very pleasantly, and as a man from later generations, Mr. Colleni quickly showed his great knowledge, and when Tony and Marta learned that he was actually a member of Mensa and a student at Stanford University, they could only say to Hugo from the bottom of their hearts, "You are indeed a genius child!" β
At dinner, everyone tacitly agreed not to talk about the signing, but to talk about some interesting things, and Marta was amused.
"Gigi, you are such a funny person and a very gentleman!" Marta exclaimed, "I can't imagine that you know so much at your age!" β
Hehe, that's because you haven't experienced the era of the information explosion yet, but it's coming, and I'm the driving force behind it!
"I like Hugo's nickname more than Gigi's! You can call me Hugo, Marta! Hugo also took the opportunity to use a more intimate title, "As for why I know so much, because I am a legendary genius child!" β
Hugo pretended to shrug helplessly!
The other three all laughed.
Hugo wasn't a big drinker, and he made an exception tonight with a Flipado-Black Pearl blend from Sicily's only DOCG wine region.
Italy's wine industry is huge, and each region basically has its own variety, the most famous is of course Piedmont, where there are more than a dozen DOCGs (the highest Italian wine region classification), while Sicily has only one.
But Sicily has its own characteristics, the most distinctive of which is the black pearl, which is widely used in blends and has a very good taste.
Hugo did not have very high requirements for his standard of living, he had always lived an ordinary life, and dinner was also a time of comparison, and he had to be careful with what kind of wine he used, so Hugo chose the chef of Sicily, and chose the Sicilian aperitif and table wine.
Italy is also a country with a huge disparity between the rich and the poor, rich people spend all day drinking, living luxuriously, and drinking wine for an important dinner is very exquisite, Hugo is not like this, you must know that he is really poor now, the budget is used for the team, and the place that can be saved has to be saved, Hugo doesn't know how he can be so aggrieved by himself, and he said that he can enjoy life!
Of course, Tony doesn't care about these details, but Marta will, she is more upper-class than Tony, and Hugo's gesture makes her dismissive, she doesn't misunderstand that Hugo is a poor ghost, thinking that Hugo is out of enthusiasm and really wants to bring them to Sicilian cuisine.
Sicilian wine and specialties are certainly not prevalent in the north, and Tony and Marta have not eaten them, they really haven't.
Picking up the wine glass, Hugo and a few others clinked glasses in turn, took a sip, and said, "To be honest, this is the first time I feel good wine!" I don't drink alcohol before, but tonight's wine was very good and tasted good! β
"So you don't drink?!" Martachi said that she also thought that a rich boy like Hugo was drunk and drunk, and wine was indispensable.
"You know what?! The Chinese have a saying, "It is not happy to have friends from afar"! It means that if a friend comes from afar, the host will be happy! Chinese will drink with friends at this time to express this happiness! I'm so glad you're here today, so I'm going to drink to pay my respects to you! "Hugo is always playing the emotional card, and his knowledge of the language in his previous life is very good.
Before "it is fun to have friends from afar", there is a sentence "It is not pleasant to learn and learn", and there is a sentence after "People don't know and are not ashamed, and they are not gentlemen?" β
This is the complete sentence, which adds up to the meaning of learning and learning, isn't it a happy thing? It's like having a friend from afar, so happy? There is a person who doesn't know this truth and is not ashamed, is it a gentleman below?
Hugo just intercepted the middle words, which can be described as pretending to be better!
Sailly has a big head again, and Hugo likes to use Chinese sayings too much, and he will tell you what, what! Why don't you memorize the Italian proverb?! Sometimes it is said that "we Chinese!" "What a Chinese are you, you are Sicilian!
Hearing what Hugo meant, Tony and Marta both agreed "oh" in their hearts, Hugo's meaning is obvious, that is, to, to them, to be precise, Tony is very attentive!
Tony and Marta looked at each other and smiled, and Tony picked up his glass again and smiled, "Thank you very much for your hospitality, Hugo!" You're a good friend! β
Hugo sighed in his heart when he heard this, according to reason, desire to suppress the first to rise, this fucking but!
There was still a sincere smile on his face, but Hugo's heart prayed, "Strike while the iron is hot, brother, don't but!" β
"I have discussed with Marta and I have decided to accept your invitation to join Trapani, I believe this is a new beginning in my career! I believe in your ability to lead the team to the ranks of the First Division in a few years! Tony said solemnly.
Hugo's surprise can't be described in words at all, he was so happy in his heart, he couldn't speak, compared to Allegri, who has reached the end of his life, this fucking guy is the guy who is playing the year, he can score 15 in the C1 League, and when it comes to the Italian League, then the goal is not like a fucking game?! Look at how tall and majestic this body is, no wonder Marta has taken a fancy to you!
"Relieved! Old iron! Hugo gave Tony a thumbs up, "Let's not say anything!" I did it! β
Hugo drank the wine from the glass in one gulp!
The other three looked at each other, because Hugo was in Chinese again! I don't understand at all!
But soon everyone could see that Hugo was happy, so they laughed and clinked glasses with each other, followed Hugo's example, and drained the wine in the glass!
The dinner was over soon, the four of them moved to the garden and continued to brag and fart, Selly has completely become Hugo's personal assistant these days, and there is a tacit understanding, Selly took out a briefcase containing a full 300,000 cash dollars!
In the same way, Tony's salary contract is also an annual salary of 10,000 yuan, and the rest of Hugo will give him in private cash, and now Hugo has advanced Tony's salary for a year and a half.
When Selly opened the briefcase, Tony and Marta were dumbfounded, when you saw so much cash in front of you, it was all fake!
"Luka, the money is yours now! We're going to sign the contract right away, and in a few days, you can enjoy life with Marta, the conditions are very difficult there, maybe you and Marta won't be together every day like we are now! Hugo said with a grin.
He didn't know that Tony and Marta themselves couldn't stick together every day, Marta had her own career and often went to the United States, if she didn't work, Tony probably wouldn't be able to support two people, let alone have children in the future!
Hugo's words attracted the attention of the two people away from the money, Tony and Marta were a little embarrassed, it's not that they haven't seen money, but they give so much money at once, it's still a bit of that!
Toni hasn't completely lost himself yet, and when Selly handed over the contract, Tony still looked through the terms of the contract, he didn't have an agent, and he had a good friend named David in his hometown team Modena? Cappelletti, Cappelletti, like his big brother, signed contracts in several transfers, and this big brother was present, but now this big brother can't be by his side, Tony can only rely on himself, of course the contract is clear, Allegri's old fritters can sign, what can be the problem?!
Tony looked through it for a few minutes, and with Marta in the company, the contract was signed!
"Shouldn't we have an after-dinner drink to celebrate the signing of the contract?!" Hugo joked.
"No need! I see your face is already red! Marta laughed, Hugo looked like he couldn't drink, and now he was a little shaky when he stood up.
"Oh oh, happy to see it happen! Thank you Marta, I feel like I can't drink anymore! Hugo's head was still sober, and he made everyone laugh again with a pretended cheer.
After signing the contract, Toni officially became a member of Trapani Football Club, but a few days later he would face an embarrassing matter, Toni received an invitation from the Serie B team Treviso, but Toni had signed with Trapani, and in the end he could only go to the Italian team Trapani according to the contract.
Of course, he didn't know that according to the trajectory of history, even if he didn't go to Trapani, he would still have crossed paths with the team in Sicily, where he played for Palermo, where he grew up to be a killer.
