Chapter 11 The future is at stake
The plane flew for 22 hours, with two transfers along the way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ The Info boys slept quietly in their own lives, and by the time the plane arrived, most of them were still sleepy. It wasn't until the flight attendant's announcement broadcast sounded again that everyone got up in a daze.
Chen Jianhao narrowed his eyes, stretched his long lazy waist, and then slowly unbuckled his seat belt. He didn't fall asleep all the way, and he could always vaguely hear the quarrel between Xiao Pan and Wong Tai Sin. The two of them were very energetic, and until they got off the plane, they still had their faces sideways and said something to each other.
Chen Jianhao looked at them with interest and didn't take it too seriously. After all, he and Wong Tai Sin had only met for the first time, and although the impression was very bad, he couldn't afford to be angry with a stranger - besides, he wasn't the one who offended. As for Xiao Panna's temper, he has always relied on the money in his family, and he is so awesome that Chen Jianhao is too lazy to get involved.
There was a clicking sound at the back of the cabin, and Franciscan was tilting his head and pulling hard at the suitcase.
"Sir, do you need help?" A flight attendant stepped forward and asked.
Fang Jizhou glanced at her, it turned out to be the stewardess who was ridiculed by him for "big heavy makeup" and was pushed by Wong Tai Sin. Fang Jizhou put down his hand and asked, "Why can't this be opened?" β
"Let me do it." After speaking, the stewardess stepped forward directly, easily buttoned the button of the cabinet door, and the cabinet door rolled down.
The two men were close together, shoulders clasped together. Fang Jizhou couldn't help but take a few steps back and said curtly, "Thank you." β
"You're welcome, do you need to help you take your luggage off by the way?"
"Uh...... No...... No need. "Fang Jizhou felt that he was strong, how could he be embarrassed to let a woman do it. So he hurriedly stepped forward and dragged the schoolbag out of the cabinet with a twist.
The stewardess smiled slightly, looked at him and said, "Is there anything else you need help with?" β
The schoolbag was swollen, and it looked like it was heavy, and it suddenly weighed heavily on Fang Jizhou's arm. Franciscan staggered a few steps and almost bumped into the other party.
The height of the flight attendant is similar to that of Francis, about 170 cm. Fang Jizhou stepped the bag over his shoulder and raised his head suddenly, but he didn't expect that the eyes, ears, nose and mouth of the two people were exactly on the same level, and their eyes immediately met.
The distance was very close, and Fang Jizhou could clearly smell the breath coming out of the other party's mouth, which was somewhat unique and somewhat tempting.
Fang Jizhou froze, looking at the other party's face and not daring to move. Under the forehead, the slender curved eyebrows were clearly drawn, and then a pair of dark, shiny and gentle eyes. Looking down further, the nose shape is not good-looking, but the small and delicate tip of the nose is very flattering to that face. Going on, my lips are covered with dark lipstick.
Fang Jizhou seemed to hear the sound of his heart accelerating, and hurriedly took a few steps away before waving his hand awkwardly: "No...... No need. β
"Okay, then I won't bother you." The flight attendant didn't take it seriously and said generously: "I wish you a pleasant trip." β
The young man who was traveling with him just came out of the toilet at this moment, and when he saw Fang Jizhou's embarrassed appearance, he whistled at him with a grin.
Fang Jizhou glared at him, then opened his mouth slightly, trying to explain something to the flight attendant, and after thinking about it, he felt that nothing unsightly had happened, and the extra cover-up would make it seem that he had a problem. So he simply stopped, nodded goodbye to the flight attendant, turned around and walked out.
Just after walking a few steps, the flight attendant suddenly stopped him: "Wait! β
Fang Jizhou hesitated for a moment before stopping. Obviously, the flight attendant's shouting made him inexplicably nervous again. He heard the sound of high heels approaching behind him, and then heard a voice coming from behind his head: "Eh! Thank you for today's things! β
Fang Jizhou was a little surprised, turned around, and met the other party's eyes again. Although his mind was churning, this time he did not avoid it, but stared into the other party's eyes to his heart's content.
In fact, after a few more glances, it's still quite beautiful. Franciscan thought leisurely.
The stewardess saw that he was a little distracted, so she asked, "Sir, what's wrong with you?" β
Fang Jizhou realized that he had been staring at others, and quickly looked away, "No, it's nothing ......", and then he patted his head again and said, "Oh yes, no thanks." β
The young man who was traveling with him carried his luggage and deliberately squeezed through the gap between the two of them and the seats. When he got off the plane, he deliberately shouted loudly: "Da Zhou, if you want to pick up girls, you have to remember to call others." β
"Shut your foul mouth!" Fang Jizhou turned his head and cursed, but the young man was nowhere to be seen. He looked at the stewardess again, blushed and said, "Don't listen to him." Did you just get hurt? β
The stewardess smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just a little twisted." It doesn't hurt anymore. β
"He ......" Fang Jizhou pointed to the hatch and said shyly, "He's just joking, don't take it seriously." β
"Huh?" The flight attendant blinked and asked, "Then you don't want to ask me for a phone?" β
"Huh!?" Fang Jizhou looked at her with some surprise.
The stewardess smiled charmingly and said, "Just kidding, I don't fall in love with my little brother." β
ββ¦β¦ I'm almost nineteen, but I'm not a little brother. β
Looking at Fang Jizhou's troubled appearance, the flight attendant couldn't help but cover her mouth and smiled: "It seems that you really want to ask me for a phone?" β
"Uh...... I ......"
The cabin was empty, and only the two of them remained. At this moment, Fang Jizhou stood in place at a loss, ashamed, and eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.
Seeing that the other party had not moved, the flight attendant said, "If it's okay, I'll go?" β
"Wait!" Fang Jizhou hurriedly took out his mobile phone and asked bravely, "Can ...... Can I give me my phone number? β
"No, you can't." The stewardess smiled and refused.
Fang Jizhou sighed with some disappointment, but the stewardess said again: "Unless you can give me a reason to convince me." β
Fang Jizhou scratched his head and said in a low voice, "...... Actually, I don't have much experience in this area. I haven't talked about girlfriends. β
The flight attendant took advantage of his inattention and snatched the phone. At this moment, Fang Jizhou was like a dull wooden man, just looking at her in a daze.
The flight attendant made a grimace at him while typing the number on his phone: "What a coincidence, I haven't talked about girlfriends either." β

An elongated red and yellow bus drove mightily on the road.
40 young football players, 8 full-time coaches and administrators, 1 team leader, 1 accompanying lawyer, a total of 50 people, are the main body of this trip. Although Chen Jianhao also wanted to lie by the window and enjoy the scenery along the way, he was squeezed in the middle of the group and couldn't move, only smelling the smell of raging sweat.
It is a seaside city that is right next to the North Atlantic Ocean. Not only is it the second largest city in Portugal, but it is also known worldwide as the "Wine Capital". And most importantly, six years ago, in the 2003-2004 season, a football club that symbolized the city won the Champions League that year.
Those who are familiar with European football will know that this is the administrative center of the northern region of Portugal - Porto.
After about 20 minutes, the group finally arrived at the final destination of the trip, a hotel located by the beautiful Douro River.
The Douro River stretches for thousands of miles and meanders through the whole of Porto. On both sides are steep hillsides and terraced vineyards with schist soils. From the high point, you can see the undulating and orderly lines of terraced rice fields, the rolling mountains, and the surface of the Douro River. It's like a spectacular, ultra-clear close-up of the map.
The boys got out of the car excitedly, shocked by this scene, and looked across the river. A whole row of maroon brick buildings full of retro atmosphere, uneven, as if poking their heads out to greet this group of visitors from the Orient.
"What's there to see? There will be time to see later! Wong Tai Sin's incomprehensible urging suddenly broke the rare romantic atmosphere. Hurry up to the hotel to check in, and then meet in the lobby! β
Chen Jianhao stood not far away, looked at Wong Tai Sin's back in disgust, and said softly, "What is this?" β
"Bear with me, be careful that people throw you to Group C." Chen Jinwu teased beside him.
Chen Jianhao squinted at him, and then said angrily, "...... I've noticed that you've been making fun of me more and more lately, huh? β
"Really?" Chen Jinwu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Let's go, otherwise he will curse again." β

There is a seven-hour gap between Portugal and China, and it is only 9 o'clock in the morning, and there are very few pedestrians on the road. After completing the check-in procedures, the group gathered in the lobby. The heads of clubs from various provinces and cities in Portugal are also waiting here.
The lads kept looking around and talking about all sorts of things. The vast majority of people are going abroad for the first time, and it is difficult to hide their curiosity. Occasionally, foreigners pass by here and see such a big battle, and all of them are yellow, and they can't help but take a few more looks.
In comparison, Chen Jianhao and Chen Jinwu seem a little out of place. They stood in the crowd with a heavy heart, not as excited as the others.
Chen Jinwu is understandable. He had been to most of Europe, and the exotic was nothing new to him. At this moment, he is thinking about how to strive to go to the same team as Chen Jianhao. Ever since he witnessed Chen Jianhao's performance in the last 15 minutes of the Amateur League Finals, he has been completely conquered. He wanted to see with his own eyes how much energy was still hidden in the person in front of him.
Chen Jianhao is thinking about the level of the league. There are 11 partner clubs in this project, namely: Rio Ave (Portuguese Super League), Maritimo (Portuguese Super League), Olivis United (Portuguese Liga), Istoril Praia (Lisbose Liga), AtlΓ©tico Valzin (Lisbose Liga), AsociΓ©tΓ© Fatima (Lisbose Liga), Boavista (Lisbose B), Aletico Real (Lisbose B), Casa Pia AtlΓ©tico (Lisan B), Alveca (Lisbose C), Oeiras (Lisbose C). There are only two Portuguese teams here, and Chen Jianhao naturally does not want to be on this list. However, he listened to Xiao Pan and Wong Tai Sin arguing all the way on the plane, and he couldn't help but feel worried. He had a vague feeling that he might well be one of the people who had been assigned to Portugal.
"What do you think?" Chen Jinwu suddenly pushed him with his arm.
"Nothing." Chen Jianhao replied casually, and then continued to fall into deep thought.
"Hey, our future No. 1 Blade, it looks like I'm a little unhappy." Chen Jinwu teased again.
Chen Jianhao's heart sank, glared at him fiercely, and said loudly: "You peeked at me to send messages?" β
Chen Jinwu was furious, noncommittal.
ββ¦β¦ Forget it, I'm not in the mood to tell you this. Chen Jianhao looked at Wong Tai Sin, Xiao Pan and the coach not far away with a serious expression. They were negotiating with the group of gringos, presumably discussing the distribution of players.
Chen Jinwu followed his gaze and said, "I know what you're thinking. β
"Hmm." Chen Jianhao's face was gloomy, "Then tell me, why do we have to listen to the one surnamed Huang?" β
Chen Jinwu knew what the other party wanted to ask, so he paused and said: "I heard that some places have been bought, anyway, the two teams in the Portuguese Super League can't take our turn." β
Chen Jianhao was dumbfounded and said, "There is still such a thing? β
Chen Jinwu just said lightly: "I had dinner with the previous coach two days ago, and he told me. β
ββ¦β¦ Isn't this embezzlement?! Chen Jianhao gritted his teeth and said, "It must have been that dog thing!" β
"Alas, what a greed, this is business." Chen Jinwu could only pat him on the shoulder and comforted: "The food and accommodation are all covered, you just want to open some." β
Chen Jianhao snorted and said, "Then what team do you think we will be assigned to?" Portuguese Liga? β
"Let's be honest, I don't think the Portuguese league has anything to do with us." After speaking, Chen Jinwu couldn't help but sigh.
"His grandmother's!" Chen Jianhao couldn't help but scold. "Could it be that Lao Tzu really has to go to Portugal?!"
