Chapter 510: Five Good Youths
Manchester United are preparing for the first round of the Champions League group stage against Real Madrid.
In the evening, Qu Bo finished a day's training and returned to the players' dormitory at the Cabinton training base. Typically, Manchester United's first-team superstars rent high-end apartments in the centre of Manchester or directly in villas on the outskirts of the city. Qu Bo has been living with a group of reserve team players in the players' dormitory at the Cabinton training base.
Qu Bai took a shower, lay down on the bed, opened his laptop and began to watch the video of Real Madrid's game. He was going to watch the one-hour video and then go to the cafeteria to have dinner with the players of the reserve team.
"Beep", the phone rang. It was his uncle who called.
"Hey, Xiaobai, how are you doing?"
"Very good uncle."
"Do you still live in the dormitory at the training base?"
"Hmm. I've been living here all the time. ”
"Xiaobai, you are also a first-team star of Manchester United now. What's the deal with living in a team dorm all the time? Rent a decent apartment in the heart of Mang. If you don't have the money, I'll call you. Also, where do you go now, it's still a two-legged 2-way car? Uncle buys you a car. Anyway, there are no tariffs on buying a car in the UK, so it's cheap. I look at the new Ferrari CTG4 is good... ”
Mr. Qu, a businessman who was born as a coal mine owner in Shannan, pays the most attention to face in everything. For them, the luxury of the car is equal to the size of the face.
Qu Bai rejected his uncle's kindness: "No, uncle." It's too ostentatious to drive a sports car. At the beginning, Dong Yuanzhuo had just returned to Manchester United from the Liga, because he always drove luxury cars to train and swaggered through the market, which caused the dissatisfaction of the superstars and the exclusion of the superstars. Although I can occasionally start at Manchester United, Uncle Liu has repeatedly reminded me not to my tail and think of myself as a superstar. ”
Hearing that his nephew was so sensible, Mr. Qu was quite pleased: "Very good Xiaobai, don't be arrogant, you are a person who does big things." ”
Qu Bai also said: "The group of people in the national team went out in luxury cars and took a girlfriend and daughter-in-law to the street, and the girlfriend and daughter-in-law acted like models for luxury exhibitions. But what's the use? I don't want to be like them. ”
Mr. Qu had to persuade his nephew at this time: "Child, the affairs of Huaguo are like that." Although you are in England, you are still Chinese. I'm going to have to come back sooner or later. You have to learn to get used to the mess at home. Don't be like the simple child in the emperor's new clothes and say things that others dare not say. Such a person only exists in fairy tales, and he will suffer in the real society of Huaguo! ”
Qu Bai said: "Uncle, don't worry. I won't comment on domestic players in the future. It's not worth it. No amount of words I say can change the status quo of domestic football. By the way, uncle, good news for you, chairman Woodward informed me two days ago that the club was going to give me a raise of £18,000 a week. Uncle, I know you're not short of money. But you raised me all these years and sent me to play in Europe... I can make money now, I must give you money, it can be regarded as your pension money. I'll send you £10,000 every month! ”
Mr. Qu on the other end of the phone kept rolling tears in his eyes. Qu Bai's father died in a mining accident to save him. He has always treated Qu Bai as his own son. Now that the child has finally grown up, is promising, can make money, and is so sensible, how can Mr. Qu not be excited? 10,000 pounds, which is converted into more than 90,000 yuan. For Mr. Qu, it's just the money for a few meals. But this money was given by a nephew, and it is of great significance.
Mr. Qu said: "Okay! Good boy! If you want to give me money, just hit it. I'll save it for you. It's also a guarantee when you retire. By the way, how are you and Liu Yun's daughter? ”
Qu Bai replied: "It's still like that." She is now admitted to Imperial College London and the classes are intense. Now only Manchester will come back to Manchester and see me on a home break. ”
Mr. Qu smiled and said, "Heh, have you been admitted to Imperial College London?" What an excellent girl, Xiaobai, you have to cherish it. ”
In the eyes of ordinary parents in China, children fall in love at the age of seventeen or eighteen and are considered early love. But in the eyes of rich people in China, it is a normal thing. For example, the niece of the famous dancer Yang Liping who went to the Spring Festival Gala a few years ago "Little Citi". At the age of 14, he fell in love with a rich second generation in his 30s, opening his mouth "husband" on Weibo and closing his mouth "dear"... The parents of "Little Citigroup" did not explicitly object, only saying that it would be natural.
After talking to the uncle, Qu Bai watched the video of Real Madrid's game for a while. "Knock knock", the door is knocking, and it is Manchester United's seventeen-year-old goalkeeper Kadafi. He is Qu Bai's best friend in the players' dormitory at the training base.
"Qu, our big star, it's time to eat!" Kadafi shouted at Qu Bai.
Qu Bai turned off the computer and walked with Kadafi to the training base restaurant.
Kadafi said to Qu Bai with a wicked smile: "My sister asked me for your phone number. Ha, obviously, she's got a crush on you. She said you were the most handsome Oriental she'd ever met. ”
Qu Bai shrugged his shoulders like a Westerner: "I'm sorry, you know I have a girlfriend." You can sign an autograph or take a group photo. I don't give random phone numbers. ”
Kadafi laughed: "Qu, are you afraid that Pogba will destroy your legs?" The whole club knows that Pogba has spoken, if you dare to be sorry for the old lieutenant's daughter. He's going to just ruin your career! ”
Qu Bai put his arm around Kadafi's shoulder: "Don't say brother." I'm so scared! ”
Entering the cafeteria, the players of the reserve team took the initiative to greet Qu Bai.
Manchester United's development squad has a long tradition of bullying foreign players. Those young people who were born and raised in Manchester usually sign with Manchester United when they are teenagers, enter the junior team, and then go up the academy and the reserve team. They also have an organization in the reserve called the Manchester Brotherhood. Ryan Giggs, David Beckham, Bart, the Neville brothers, and Scholes in Class 92 were all members of the "Manchester Brotherhood".
The "Manchester Brotherhood" love to play pranks on foreign reserve players, even bullying... However, Qu Bai does not have to worry about these problems at all. For starters, he is now half of Manchester United's main scorer, finishing third behind Robert Lewandowski in the Premier League's scorers' charts. The 'Manchester Brotherhood' would never bully a future superstar of such strength.
Secondly, Qu Bai's girlfriend is the daughter of the old lieutenant, the spiritual leader of Manchester United. He has a good relationship with all the first-team superstars.
Third, Qu Bai's good friend Kadaffi is the current president of the "Manchester Brotherhood"!
Qu Bai and Kadafi chose the dishes and sat down at a table with their plates.
Caddafi said to Qu Bai: "Brother, you have to score in the game against Real Madrid!" The brothers in the reserve team made a bet and I pressed £100 to bet that you could score! ”
