Chapter 008: Goodbye Leia
Liu Ting met his agent in a café by the Seine River in Paris, and the French like to talk about things in cafes, and Liu Ting and Wagner can be regarded as following the local customs.
"Schiller, European clubs are starting to prepare for the new season, have you helped me find a good club?" There will be a European Championship in the summer of '08, so the season starts earlier, and the new season starts at the beginning of August. Liu Ting was dissatisfied with the slow action of the agent.
"'Old', I seriously helped you contact the club, and now there are still teams that are interested in you, Sporting Gijón and Real Sociedad in La Liga are interested in you, Real Sociedad has just been relegated from La Liga this year, and it is very likely to be promoted back next year, as well as Borussia Mönchengladbach, Munich 1860, and Mainz in the German Second Division are willing to sign you, Borussia Mönchenchen is an old powerhouse in the past, and he was unexpectedly relegated this year, and he will definitely be promoted back to the Bundesliga next year." Wagner is talking about the fruits of his efforts.
Liu Ting could only smile bitterly, and did not point out the problem of Wagner's pronunciation. Liu Ting feels that it seems that his agent still doesn't believe in his strength, and he is looking for some teams in the German Second Division and West Second Division, although it is very likely that he will be promoted to the top league in a year, but it still shows that Wagner feels that his strength can only be mixed in those teams, at least for now.
Liu Ting didn't want to talk nonsense, and said bluntly: "Schiller, that's the case, I want you to help me contact some top league teams, I don't want to go to the Bundesliga and West B." ”
Liu Ting's voice was a little loud, obviously Wagner was taken aback, but after reacting, he was a little surprised, with his understanding of Liu Ting, it is almost the same to go to the German second and western second teams, and after two years of training in these teams, maybe you can go to the top league team, and Liu Ting may not be strong enough in the top league at present. This is also the reason why Wagner only contacted the German second and second division teams, and he is really not optimistic about Liu Ting's strength.
''Old', I think you should aim a little bit lower, you're much less likely to play in the top leagues, what you need now is more games. Wagner said earnestly.
"No, I just need a team in the top league, and if you can't do it, I don't mind switching agents." Liu Ting directly gave an ultimatum.
Wagner instantly became a little angry, this kid's strength is not good, but his tone is not small. But immediately Wagner pressed the fire, even if such a kid with insufficient strength is the best player under his own, Liu Ting also has a background of Chinese ancestry, with this bonus, he is likely to be the most profitable player under his own command in the future, at this time, he can't be angry with him, otherwise it will be difficult to recover his face, and what he has to do now is to try to meet his requirements.
Years later, Wagner was glad that he didn't get angry with Liu Ting at the café in Paris that day, otherwise he would have lost one of the most powerful players in football.
"Okay, boy, I'll help you contact the team right away, the transfer window doesn't close until September 1st, we have time, but you'll miss the pre-season training for your new team, or even the first few rounds, which will hinder your integration into your new team."
"It's okay, I'll take care of it myself."

The agent Wagner rushed back to the German agency of Mondil, while Liu Ting continued to stay in Paris. Anyway, I haven't found a new owner yet, and it's boring to go back to Monaco, so it's better to play in Paris for a few days.
The Seine River meanders through the heart of the city, and many of the city's attractions are not far from the Seine, including the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Paris Opera House and, of course, the world-famous shopping street Champs-Élysées.
Liu Ting walked along the Seine River, saw a lot of Asian faces playing and taking pictures in major scenic spots, and heard a lot of people speaking Chinese, now China's economic development, more and more Chinese come to Europe to play.
The design of the Seine embankment is very rudimentary, yes, for Chinese architecture, it is called rudimentary, there is no railing for a long time, and one can sit directly on the embankment, facing the Seine, and put his feet on the slope of the sloping embankment. Of course, you have to be careful not to fall into the river.
Liu Ting was tired of walking, and was trying to find a place to sit, there were many people on the embankment, some of them had close boyfriends and girlfriends, and some of them sat alone.
Suddenly, Liu Ting saw an acquaintance sitting there in front of him, it seemed that she was alone, Liu Ting walked over quickly and sat down next to her.
"Hey, Léa, long time no see." It was none other than Léa Seydoux who was seated.
Seydoux was obviously taken aback, and when he turned around and saw that it was Liu Ting, he didn't know what to say. Last time, I met Liu Ting in Monaco in a bad mood, and I was really happy, and my mood was much better, and I also had some intimate contact with Liu Ting. But after returning, Seydoux did not know what to do with this encounter, and she was completely unprepared to fall in love with a Chinese, although Liu Ting was a Chinese of Monaco nationality.
After coming back, Seydoux rarely contacted Liu Ting, and she was also perfunctory about Liu Ting's two phone calls, thinking that the two would go farther and farther away like this, otherwise she didn't know how to deal with the relationship between the two.
I didn't expect to meet here again now.
"Hello, Liu, why are you here?" Seydoux asked curiously, did he come to Paris to find her? Even if she came on purpose, she wouldn't have come up by the Seine, she also came here temporarily, and Liu Ting wouldn't have known about it.
Leia is one of the few Europeans who can quickly figure out Liu's pronunciation.
"I'm a footballer and I'm looking for a new team lately, so I'm coming to Paris." Liu Ting told the truth that Seydoux was a little estranged from him after returning to Paris, and he could obviously feel it, but his emotional thinking was closer to that of Westerners, and even if he couldn't be a couple, he could be friends.
"Oh, that's right!" When Saidu heard Liu Ting say this, he was a little disappointed in his heart, it turned out that he didn't come to her on purpose.
"Léa, last time I took you around Monaco, isn't it time for you to take me to Paris this time?"
"Okay, Paris is much bigger than Monaco, I'll show you around."

Seydoux took Liu Ting on a day trip to Paris, mainly near the Champs-Élysées, where the main attractions of Paris are located.
In the evening, Liu Ting and Seydoux walked to the famous love bridge on the Seine, and both sides of the bridge were densely hung with wishing locks, also known as love locks or concentric locks.
Liu Ting happens to know the story of the Love Bridge, and he has enough knowledge to pick up girls.
The bridge was built in 1804 by an architect appointed by Napoleon himself, and because the two ends of the bridge were located between the Louvre and the Paris Society, it quickly became a famous attraction in Paris, but at the time it was only a pedestrian bridge. Later, during the First World War, the flames of war burned to Paris, and the German army bombed Paris with zeppelins, causing many casualties, and a girl named Clara lost her lover in the bombing. After the end of the First World War, Clara returned to Paris, where she walked to the bridge where she used to visit her lover and hung a wishing lock in memory of her dead lover. At that time, a reporter happened to take a picture of Clara and learned about her story, and the reporter reported the story, calling the Pont de l'Love Bridge 'the bridge of love that cannot be blown up, the spirit of Paris that cannot be destroyed'. At that time, all French newspapers reprinted the report, and the bridge of love soon became famous in France and even Europe. Later, couples will have the habit of hanging wishing locks on the bridge when they arrive here. ”
Liu Ting felt that he was starting to pretend again.
However, Bai Fumei, who has a bit of Wenqing attributes, obviously eats this set, and Saidu said with a little star in his eyes: "Liu, you don't look like a Chinese at all, you are more like a French, erudite, romantic, and handsome." ”
Whether the French are erudite, romantic, and handsome aside, as a good young man in the new era with future memories, these means of picking up girls are a must.
Liu Ting slowly raised his hand to wrap his arms around Saidoo's waist, and slowly leaned his head over, the two kissed together naturally, and on the love bridge, many men and women were also doing the same thing.
After the Love Bridge, the two went to find a couple's restaurant for dinner. In the evening, Seydoux and Liu Ting went back to the hotel together.

When Liu Ting was in love with a beautiful woman in Paris, his agent Schiller Wagner rushed back to Hazen, Germany, where the headquarters of the Mondil brokerage company was located, and Wagner went directly to find the company's owner, Konstantin Dumitrascu. Dumitrascu is an ordinary-looking old man, but he has built the Mondil agency into one of the largest in Europe, except that he prefers to keep a low profile, unlike high-profile agents like Mendes and Raiola, who are always in front of the microphone to express their opinions or criticize someone.
Before Liu Ting's matter, Wagner talked to Dumitrascu.
