After making this celebration wine with his friends in the bar, Chu Zhongtian asked Boss John for a leave, and went out to listen to the phone outside to call home to report the good news.

This is indeed a happy event, although he did not graduate from college, Chu Zhongtian has already earned more than he has since graduated from college. And it will be more, the salary will increase by 10% every year, and if the performance is re-signed, it can only get higher and higher, and it cannot be lower and lower.

He finally doesn't have to ask his parents to send him living expenses, not only that, but he can also send money to his family to subsidize the family.

What a glorious thing it is -- after 20 years of eating and drinking for nothing, it is finally time to repay the kindness of your parents. Chu Zhongtian didn't want to wait for a second, and now he was going to tell the good news to his family.

It's 10:40 p.m. here in the UK and 6:40 a.m. in Beijing, so it's time for my parents to get up.

At this time, it is not considered to disturb their sleep.

Excitedly dialed the phone at home, and Chu Zhongtian waited for the sound of answering the phone to ring over there.

Raising his head and looking at his bright smiling face reflected in the glass in the phone booth, Chu Zhongcai knew that he was too far away from "honor and disgrace", although he had a good psychological quality in football games...... But what's so bad about that? This is a good thing, why should I put on a straight face and deliberately pretend to be mature? I just want to laugh! It's about laughing to your heart's content, and letting the whole world know about me! Chu Zhongtian! Become a professional footballer! From now on, I can rely on my own ability to eat, and I can still honor my parents, how honorable!

The other end of the phone finally rang with a "which".

He felt as if a long time had passed.

※※※In fact, it took less than 20 seconds for Zhou Xiaoxiang to go from the kitchen to the living room to answer the phone from hearing the phone ring, and the bell rang four times.

She picked it up and asked, "Which one?" ”

It's rare for someone to call home so early.

"Mom!" Her son's excited voice rang on the other side of the phone.

"What's the matter? Called so early, your dad just got up and I'm still cooking breakfast......"

"I'm a pro, Mom!" Chu Zhongtian shouted on the other side of the phone.

Zhou Xiaoxiang had to take the phone away a little.

'My agent has already negotiated with Chelsea FC and I'm going to sign a contract with them on Monday, Mom! Once I signed the contract, I was officially a professional footballer! Nine hundred pounds a week! It is 3,600 a month, which is ...... when converted into RMB It's about 36,000! Mom, I'm making money! I'm making money! You don't have to send me living expenses in the future! I'm going to send it to you again! What do you want? I'll go back in June, and I'll bring you some gifts......"

He shouted for a long time, but his mother Zhou Xiaoxiang was stunned and didn't say a word.

"Which one?" After her husband Chu Zuosheng finished washing, he came out and saw Lao Pi holding the microphone and said nothing. I asked.

"Son." Zhou Xiaoxiang turned his head and replied. beckoned Chu Zuosheng to come over, and then stuffed the microphone into his hand, "Listen, there are still mash eggs boiling in the pot......

"What's going on?" Chu Zuosheng asked strangely, his wife's behavior was a little strange, but he couldn't say what was strange for a while.

"Hey, son?"

Chu Zuosheng was talking excitedly when he heard the voice of his father. "Huh? Dad ...... "He didn't react yet."

"What were you talking about, scaring your mother away."

"I'm a pro, Dad!" Chu Zhongtian shouted again.

"Hah! What? Chu Zuosheng smiled first, and then reacted. What are you talking about? ”

So Chu Zhongtian repeated what he had just said to his mother.

In his son's excited and incoherent narration, Chu Zuosheng finally slowly understood that his son was about to sign a contract with Chelsea Football Club and become a professional player who plays football for a living, and a salary of nine hundred pounds a week not only allowed him to support himself, but also saved money to send to his family.

What a sea change...... Listening to his son's excited quote of the exchange rate between the pound and the RMB, how much is his current annual income equivalent to RMB, Chu Zuosheng, a person who has seen the world, is also a little in a trance.

"Hey, Daddy?"

Chu Zhongtian, who said excitedly, didn't hear his father's voice, and asked suspiciously.

"Ahh......h That's right...... We don't want any gifts. Don't spend money just after you make it, you have everything at home, you don't need to bring it from the UK. ”

Dad's answer made Chu Zhongtian a little disappointed, and he still wanted to show off his earning ability. "But I want to buy you a razor and a good watch, and a Louis for my mother. Vuitton (lv)'s handbag, she carries a cloth bag in class, it looks so embarrassing......"

"My plum watch is good for eight years, what new watch to get? Razors are also sold in China, Philip and Geely, why go to the UK to buy them? What does your mom do with a Louis Vuitton bag in school all day long? No matter how good the bag is, it is used to make the chalk dusty, what is the use? ”

Chu Zuosheng resolutely opposed his son's behavior of wasting money.

What Dad said made sense, and Chu Zhongtian didn't know what to say for a while. But let him go home empty-handed, he was really unwilling - my seven-foot man from Chuzhong Heaven Hall, I finally made money, and when I returned to my hometown, I carried a suitcase when I went, what kind of suitcase did I have when I came back, what kind of system did this be?

"But Dad, I finally made money, I want to honor you......"

Chu Zuosheng snorted: "You still know how to honor your parents." Do your own math, how many times have you been home since you went to study in the UK? Not once! If you really want to honor your parents, make me and your mother happy, and get back to me during the summer vacation! ”

Chu Zhongtian was embarrassed to hear this, he really only cared about playing football, and never went home. During that time, he only thought about how to try to use all the opportunities available to improve his football level, and he didn't think about the New Year's holidays at all, his parents didn't worry about him, and he didn't miss himself. I haven't spent the Spring Festival at home for three years, and the three-month summer vacation is also used to connect the ball, and I haven't gone back, I haven't seen each other for three years, what have my parents changed? What's the house like?

These were questions he had never thought about before.

Now I've been woken up by my father's blow.

yes, it's time for me to go home. After three years of wandering, before starting a new journey, go home and anchor, take a good rest, and then rebuild your fighting spirit and start fighting again.

This is a much tougher goal than going to college.

"I'll tell you, if you really want to bring a gift, bring it back to me. You're the best gift for me and your mom. ”

"I see, Dad. As soon as the season is over here, I'll go home. ”

"Don't look for any more reason when the time comes, whatever the reason, you have to come back, even if it's just for a day!"

My wife has been thinking about her son more and more recently, and she seems to know that her son will not be able to go to college again, and after switching to professional football, he will spend most of the year in Europe, and it will be even more difficult to see each other again in the future. In fact, he also wanted to, but the feelings of being a man are not so exposed after all.

I've seen it once on TV, but how can this compare to face-to-face?

"There won't be any reason, Dad. I'll be back then! ”

※※※ After hanging up the phone, Chu Zuosheng went to the kitchen to see his wife.

"My son came back for the summer vacation."

Zhou Xiaoxiang, who lowered his head to clean up the stove, snorted, and didn't seem to be excited.

"He said he was going to bring us a gift and said to buy you a Louis Vuitton bag......

"Hmm."

"But I refused. I'll just let him bring him back, ha! ”

"Okay." The wife finally said something other than "um".

Chu Zuosheng took out the bowl full of enthusiastic mash eggs, "It's time to eat." ”

※※※ When Chu Zhongtian hung up the phone and walked back to the bar, Boss John found that his mood was not as high as before. Did you quarrel with your parents again?

But didn't he say that he had his parents' permission?

"Chu, aren't you in a good mood?" He asked.

Chu Zhongtian shook his head: "No, Boss John." It's just that I suddenly remembered something I had been ignoring before......"

"What is it?"

"Family affection." Chu Zhongtian replied.

"Family...... "Boss John muttered.

The British do not see family affection as strongly as the Chinese, he has a pair of children, but after starting a family, he has long moved out to live, and now even two people are not in London, one in Newcastle and the other in Manchester. He was alone at Wimbledon, guarding the lower pub that had been in business all his life. Fortunately, there is such a group of guys with him all day long, otherwise he would definitely feel lonely.

"All I had on my mind for the past three years was football, but when I was on the phone with my parents, I remembered that I hadn't even been back to see them once. Some blame yourself...... Actually, it's not that you're in a bad mood, boss. Chu Zhongtian laughed a little embarrassedly.

"Well, it's right to go back and see your parents. I said Chu, if you have the conditions in the future, just take your parents to you. ”

Chu Zhongtian slapped his face, "Good idea, thank you boss for your advice!" ”

When you make a lot of money and can support a family alone, you will let your parents retire, what middle school teachers, what education bureau clerks, don't do anything, travel abroad, and then live with him, and the family will share the joy of family, how good!

Of course, you have to have money to do this, and money is a good thing...... the day of signing the contract is Monday, and there is no news coverage on Sunday before that...... But if Chu Zhongtian could see the news in China, he would know that this is not the case - the British media do not report it, but the Chinese sports media and the Internet are like chickens.

Xu Xiaodi's article "Bold Prediction: Chu Zhongtian may transfer to Chelsea" detonated the Chinese Internet.

In the article, Xu Xiaodi analysed several reasons why he thought Chelsea would be interested in Chu Zhongtian - first of all, Chu Zhongtian performed well in the FA Cup match against Chelsea, scoring two goals alone, which left a very deep impression on Chelsea. Secondly, Manchester United has just spent 3.5 million pounds on Dong Fangzhuo, which has led to a huge increase in interest in China, and Manchester United is many steps ahead of many other teams in opening up the Asian market, especially the East Asian market. Chelsea will also be looking to expand into East Asia, particularly China. Then buy Chu Zhongtian can obviously enter China smoothly. The third is from the analysis of Chu Zhongtian's own strength, Chelsea will definitely not buy him to let him play in the first team, obviously see Chu Zhongtian's potential, it is estimated that he will be loaned out, although Chelsea does not have a satellite club all over the world like Manchester United, but it should not be difficult to find a home for Chu Zhongtian. After a few years of training, Chu Zhongtian is entirely likely to become a member of Chelsea's first team, and before that, it depends on whether the Chinese Football Association is willing to cooperate and give Chu Zhongtian enough games to represent the national team when applying for a labor certificate. The fourth point is because Chu Zhongtian is free, and it doesn't cost Chelsea Club a penny, so why not?

Xu Xiaodi naturally wrote this article with the idea of re-hyping the topic of Chu Zhongtian, but his attitude is quite serious and professional, but domestic people don't see it that way.

Since Wimbledon Athletic was eliminated, the domestic hype for Chu Zhongtian has cooled down, so at this time, Xu Xiaodi said that Chelsea wanted to buy Chu Zhongtian, and his first reaction was to attract the attention of readers. Chinese media, especially entertainment and sports outlets, have become increasingly disgusting to readers when it comes to malicious hype. As soon as Xu Xiaodi's draft came out, it became the target of public criticism, because no matter how you look at it, it looks like a typical example of malicious hype: What club is Chelsea? How is it possible to fancy an amateur player? Although we fans ourselves have nothing to do, but that's a joke, you are reporters, reporters should be fair, just and objective, how can you talk so irresponsibly?

For a while, everyone scolded Xu Xiaodi's article, and even Chu Zhongtian scolded him together, Chu Zhongtian is really a disaster...... The online satire is even more stunning.

Under the comments on the report of "Bold Prediction: Chu Zhongtian may transfer to Chelsea", all netizens are full of cat-pounced style messages:

"The latest news, Real Madrid has decided to sign Lin Danda! Zidane and Raul have said that it is their highest dream to be able to fight side by side with Big Egg! Ronaldo is looking forward to Big Egg to guide him on how to have the physical strength to run without dying......"

"Serie A giants AC Milan recently confirmed to our newspaper in Milan special correspondent Shi Jincui that they will buy Chinese player Chu Zhongtian from Wimbledon Athletic for a record transfer fee of 100 million euros. On behalf of the whole team, Maldini welcomed Chu Zhongtian: "We warmly welcome the Chinese football king to join us! I've left a place for him next to me in the locker room......'"

"Barcelona entered the battle group and announced the competition for Chu Zhongtian. Laporta believes Chu Zhongtian is exactly the kind of figure they are looking for in the transfer market. 'He can bring victory, I watched his game against Chelsea and it was a dream...... Ronaldinho also thinks Chu Zhongtian's arrival will make him a fish in water in midfield: 'We played together in our last lives!' ’”

Chu Zhongtian has now become a well-known star in England, and according to well-informed sources, Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham are all vying for his future ownership. Chelsea are one step ahead, but Ferguson has offered to use Cristiano. Ronaldo and Leo. Ferdinand, plus 60 million pounds in exchange for Chu Zhongtian. Liverpool have also expressed their willingness to trade their lead Steven Gerrard for Chu Zhongtian on the grounds that 'Chu is better suited to be the leader of the Reds' than Steve. Arsene Wenger said that he is the only one in world football who can adjust Chu Zhongtian into a world-class star. Tottenham fans mocked him: 'Chu is already a world-class star!' ’”

…… Chinese netizens have fully developed their imagination of "being idle", spoofing Xu Xiaodi's serious analysis article into a nonsensical funny article, and using this as a template, such a spoof of Chu Zhongtian's article has been widely spread in the online world, and Chu Zhongtian is almost about to become the second "Li Yi Emperor...... Poor Chu Zhongtian, who has done nothing, has fallen victim to Chinese netizens' disgust with football and the Chinese media.

Sports Weekly also attacked the report of Century New Sports, and they published an interview with Chelsea CEO Kenyon by Li Liangcai, a special correspondent of this newspaper in London, in which he denied their interest in Chu Zhongtian.

So Sports Weekly used this to criticize "certain media" for doing everything they could to attract readers' attention. insinuated and scolded "Century New Sports" for having no sportsmanship and making things up.

So Zhang Mingyu, the editor-in-chief of "Century New Sports", called Xu Xiaodi and told him that if he couldn't come up with evidence that Chu Zhongtian had joined Chelsea, he would be finished!

Xu Xiaodi still feels aggrieved - my title clearly says "bold prediction", when will it become a sure thing?

But he can't bear the anger of the editor-in-chief, although he is now the closest reporter to Chu Zhongtian in China, but Chu Zhongtian is still just a nobody? Although he has excelled in the FA Cup, he is still far from being a real star.

He wanted to find Chu Zhongtian for verification, but he couldn't. Chu Zhongtian didn't have a mobile phone, so he had to go to the Wimbles Bar or the King's Ranch if he wanted to find him. It's a pity that the team didn't go to the King's Ranch for training on Sunday, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to find Chu Zhongtian there. And when he received the call from the editor-in-chief, it was already 11:45 p.m. local time on Sunday, and when he rushed to the Wimbledon bar, the bar had already closed and Chu Zhongtian had also returned, he didn't know where Chu Zhongtian lived...... In desperation, I can only wait for early tomorrow morning to go to the Wimble bar for verification.

Xu Xiaodi, who was lying on the bed and preparing to sleep, could only pray that his speculation was correct, that Chelsea was really interested in Chu Zhongtian, otherwise he might have to think about finding another job......
