Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Eight: The Last Chip
At Miss Tess's instructions, Carbine obediently walked towards Coach Corboni's office with a cardboard box, and unaware outsiders thought that Carbine had been fired by the club.
The route to Coach Corboni's office was not far, and after several times of going in and out, Carbine was able to walk to the door of the office with his eyes closed, and he was even very aware of the few picture frames hanging on the walls on both sides of the corridor, and he was even a little tired of seeing them.
A few minutes later, Cabine, dressed in a training shirt and holding a cardboard box between his hands, stood at the door of Coach Corboni's office, and for a moment, even he felt a little funny, as if he had come here to say hello and thank you to his boss after being fired and before leaving the club.
At this time, Cabine was very close to the office door, and he vaguely heard Coach Corboni talking to an unknown person in the office, as for the specific content of the conversation, Kabine could not hear clearly, because he only heard Coach Corboni's voice.
Carbine freed his right hand to hold the carton with his left hand, and then knocked on the door three times with his right hand, and Coach Corboni was quick to respond, shouting "Please come in" inside. Hearing this, Kirbine propped up the cardboard box with his left hand, pulled down the door handle with his right hand, and the whole person slid the door in.
As soon as he entered, Carbinedon saw that Coach Corboni did not pay attention to him immediately, but held the internal phone in the office, and kept chatting with the person on the other end of the phone. Kirbyne was also in order, and at first quietly, he gently slid behind the office door. Then he sat down on a row of couches against the wall in the room.
Coach Corboni must have known that Carbine had entered the office, but even so, he thought of Carbine as if he were a transparent person. blindly chatted on the phone, and added some movements of waving his right hand to strengthen the tone of his speech, and he didn't even glance at Kirbine out of the corner of his eye.
The only thing left for Carbine was to wait, and he sat on the soft sofa in a daze, and put the cardboard box on his lap, and shook his palms, but he did not dare to miss the slightest impatient expression. Besides, Coach Corboni's office is not a museum. There was so little to see that after a long time, Kabine began to rub his fingers inadvertently. While listening to Coach Coboni's conversation......
"Good! So be sure! See you at 3 p.m. at the club's headquarters building! ”
Carbine thought he would hear more, but Coach Corboni's conversation came to an end at once, and then he briefly confirmed the details of some things. Coach Corboni hung up the phone. this
Seeing that the old man had put the phone away, he immediately sent a sentence to Carbine: "I'm sorry! Long waiting! You can sit in the front, I have something to talk to you about! ”
The 'front' that Coach Corboni was referring to was the chair across from his desk, and Carbine said "um", still holding the cardboard box, and sat down opposite Coach Corboni in a regular manner. This will undoubtedly be another one-on-one conversation. As for Coach Corboni's phrase 'I have something to talk to you about', this is the opening line that Carbine is about to get tired of.
After getting it done. Unexpectedly, it was Kabine who asked first: "Coach!" What are you talking to me about this time? ”
Coach Corboni was stunned for a moment, although the movement was not loud, but it was also very obvious, he was a little surprised in the face of Carbine's first question, and then replied: "You don't have to hold the cardboard box, aren't you tired?" Put it on the table! ”
Carbine didn't say anything, but he nodded his head in response, and after he put the cardboard box in place, Coach Corboni continued: "Do you know what the letters in the cardboard box are about? ”
After what had happened in the past few days, Carbine did not take this question as a problem, so he replied: "Yes! In fact, you don't need to look carefully to know that the content in it must be the will of the fans asking me not to leave the team! Instructor! You tell me? ”
Coach Corboni nodded his head in satisfaction and said, "I think so, but I have to admit in this regard, even I underestimated your popularity in the local area, so ...... I want to borrow these nearly 200 letters today, can I ask me? ”
Kabine didn't quite understand and said, "Oh~~? Instructor! What does that mean? ”
Coach Corboni smiled crookedly and said, "Some of the reports about you have reached the ears of those on the board, and I'm going to go to the headquarters this afternoon to talk to the people on the board about these reports, huh......?" No! To be precise, use these two hundred letters as bargaining chips to negotiate with the board of directors! ”
Carbine let out an "oh" and said, "Understood! The purpose is to continue to put pressure on the board of directors to get transfer funds and buy Banm, but ...... Does this method work? I've heard from other people that the board seems to be a little upset! ”
Hearing this, Coach Corboni looked calm and said, "I don't know if you remember? I said at the beginning that if I didn't get this thing into a dead alley, I wouldn't stop! ”
Once again, Kabine saw Coach Corboni's determination and replied: "Okay! Instructor! Then take these letters! And hopefully, this chip will help you achieve your wishes! ”
After speaking, Coach Coboni also unceremoniously held the cardboard box in front of him, and then flicked the thick stacks of letters in the box with his fingers, and whispered in his mouth: "Oh my God! Is this true? It turns out that you kid is really popular! ”
This is either praise or disparagement, and it is difficult for Carbine to answer, because it was Coach Corboni who said this sentence, and out of the most primitive awe, Carbine had to give a stupid "um".
Next, Coach Coboni moved the cardboard box to the other side, and the whole person became serious again, saying: "You also know that you came to my office to talk about things, so there is one more thing to talk to you about today!" ”
Kabine's brows tightened, he took another breath and asked, "Coach!" Please go ahead! ”
Coach Corboni seemed to like Carbine's cheerfulness and said: "The relevant personnel of the French national team have communicated with me, they have asked me about your injury, and finally, I have made it very clear to them that you can play for 30 minutes, and of course, you have to protect your right ankle, which is not 100% healed, like in the last game, understand?" ”
Coach Corboni's words were not as complicated as expected, and Carbine's answer was very simple: "Understood! Instructor! ”
At this time, I saw Coach Corboni put his hands on the table, leaned forward, and said in a low voice: "You should know who the French national team is playing a friendly match with this time, right?" ”
"Yes! It's the Czech national team! ”
Coach Koboni snorted and continued: "Then you hear clearly, that kid from Banm happens to be Czech, if there is no accident, he will play in this friendly match, if Coach Settazzi gives you a chance to play, then ......"
Cabine understood at once, and spoke in an uncommon attitude to Coach Corboni: "Coach! What do you mean ......? Let me take the opportunity to woo Banm in this game? ”
Coach Corboni burst out laughing and said, "Clever! I'm just going to let you do [mouthful] in front of that kid from Banm, and I'll go to the board of directors to negotiate, and we'll ...... both ways!" (To be continued......)
