Chapter 106: The Parents' Decision
Remember [download] in a second,
Li Yuhua put down the phone a little helplessly, and then shook her head at her husband Chang Xiangyang next to her: "Still no one answers." It should be noon in Spain at this time, maybe he won't go back at noon......"
"Then wait until the evening." Chang Xiangyang said in a deep voice.
After the afternoon training, Chang Sheng was called directly to her house by Aunt Maria and had a hearty dinner before returning to his home with a full burp.
While he was still at the door to pick up the key, he heard the phone ringing in the house.
A look of urgency for a while.
He pushed open the door, rushed straight to the phone, and grabbed it: "Hey? β
The next second was replaced by an exclamation: "Mom?" Why are you calling me so late? β
In the summer, the time difference between Spain and Beijing is six hours, and at this time it is already half past nine in the evening local time in Spain, which is converted to Beijing time at half past three in the morning the next day!
Received a call from his mother at half past three, could he not be surprised?
"Where did you go before?" Mom asked on the phone.
"I just came back from dinner......"
"What time is dinner over there in Spain?"
"Eight to half past eight in the evening...... It's only half-past nine. But it's already the middle of the night over there, right? β
Li Yuhua did not continue to answer Chang Sheng's question, but asked rhetorically: "Have you been interviewed by Chinese journalists recently?" β
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, and then said: "No, I have been in Getafe for more than a year, and I haven't seen a single Chinese." Where are the Chinese journalists? β
"Really?" Mom didn't seem to be at ease, so she asked.
"Not really." Chang Sheng replied affirmatively, and then asked strangely: "Mom, you wait until the middle of the night to call me." Just to ask me about this? β
"It's like this, stone. Have you heard of Sports Weekly? β
"Of course I've heard of it, China's largest circulation sports newspaper. What's wrong? It is impossible not to have heard of this name, he used to be a loyal reader of "Sports Weekly", from high school to college, he bought "Sports Weekly" for many years, and even brought their football magazine "Football Weekly" to him every issue he must buy. At a time when the Internet was not yet fully emerging, Sports Weekly and Football Weekly were the channels for him, the fans, to learn about European football.
It's just that the Internet in China has become more and more developed later. The portals reported much faster than the three-week-a-week newspaper, and he gradually stopped buying them.
"They call you a liar, a swagger in Spain!"
"What?" Chang Sheng thought that he had misheard, and some long-distance calls were due to signal reasons. There will be some noise, not very clear.
"They said you didn't have a formal coaching certificate at all, and you deceived the Spaniards to become a manager!" Li Yuhua said again.
This time, Chang Sheng was sure that he had heard correctly.
"I'm ......," he couldn't help but burst out with a foul mouth.
He suddenly felt that his brain was not enoughβwhere did Sports Weekly learn that Lao Tzu was a liar? I've never even seen a Sports Weekly reporter!
"What's going on, Mom?"
"I don't know. Today...... No, yesterday your aunt came to the yard and said you were a liar, and I went to find her. He showed me the newspaper, and it was exactly what it said. β
"Mom. Do you believe I'm a liar? Chang Sheng asked.
"Of course I don't believe it." Li Yuhua replied quickly, and this answer has always been in her mind. "Your dad doesn't believe it either."
Chang Sheng smiled. It was the first time he laughed today since receiving the call.
My parents believed me, and that would trump everything.
There's nothing more painful than not believing in even your loved ones.
After hanging up the phone, Li Yuhua said to her husband Chang Xiangyang, who had been listening to the sidelines: "It's confirmed, the reporter of that newspaper has not interviewed my son." β
"So they made it up?" Chang Xiangyang asked.
"Well, I made it up." Li Yuhua nodded.
"It's so damning! They are journalists, how can journalists be so irresponsible? Chang Xiangyang was a little angry.
This matter is related to their son's reputation, they don't care if they are ridiculed, their son is slandered and liared, so how can he hold his head up in front of people in the future?
"What did my son say?" He asked again.
"He told us to leave it alone, and he would find someone to deal with it." Li Yuhua said.
"How can it not be? He is our son. As soon as he heard this, Chang Xiangyang frowned and was very dissatisfied.
Li Yuhua nodded: "That's what I mean, so I plan to go to someone tomorrow to inquire about this kind of thing." My second sister and her lover are lawyers, so there should be a way. β
Chang Xiangyang nodded: "Okay, call her early tomorrow morning, now let's go and rest first, it's almost dawn." β
Although it was said to rest, in fact, whether it was Chang Xiangyang or Li Yuhua, neither of them really fell asleep.
They almost counted the seconds in bed.
I got out of bed at six o'clock.
If it weren't for the fact that people hadn't gotten up yet, Li Yuhua would have wanted to call her second sister now.
Finally staying up until seven o'clock, she couldn't wait to make a long-distance call.
Li Yuhua is not a local, she married outside, so she has no relatives here, and her siblings and parents are in another city thousands of miles away.
After getting through the phone, when he heard that something happened to his nephew, he seemed very enthusiastic, forcibly left his husband who was about to go out to work, and then patiently explained and explained to Li Yuhua, who knew little about the law.
Half an hour later, Li Yuhua hung up the phone.
Then she said to her husband, who came out of the kitchen in an apron, "I'm going to go to court." The newspaper was sued for violating his son's right to reputation and spreading rumors and slander. β
She said this in a flat tone. But the attitude is categorical.
Chang Xiangyang was not surprised, he wiped his hand on the towel, and then nodded: "I'll help you ask for leave." β
Chang Sheng thought about it for a night, how could he see the strange report that said he was a liar.
But he found it difficult.
At this time, the "Sports Weekly" did not have any online electronic edition. So you can't see it online. There is also nowhere to buy this newspaper in Spain. I don't know when my parents sent the newspaper, and the fax arrived quickly, but the time difference between the two sides made them always mistime, and it was also very troublesome.
That's it, Chang Sheng, who thought about it all night and couldn't figure out a way, went to train as usual the next day.
But he was always thinking about it.
He was puzzled, he had not offended any Chinese journalist or any Chinese media, and his enemies on the Spanish side should all be Spanish media and reporters.
And it's also "Sports Weekly". This is the best-selling sports newspaper in China, so you can't afford to use such a despicable means to increase its popularity, right?
So he couldn't figure out how he could get into such a mess.
Although I don't understand, the problem still needs to be solved.
He doesn't really worry about what others think of him, especially those in China. Anyway, they can't fight with themselves.
They think they're liars, so they think they don't eat by pleasing them.
He worries his parents the most. If you let "Sports Weekly" do this, your parents will definitely not be able to hold their heads up in front of their colleagues and neighbors.
That's what I care about the most!
That damn aunt did it again...... Damn it!
Chang Sheng now wants to fly back directly and slap his aunt in the face.
Unfortunately, this is not realistic.
After the training session. There were reporters outside covering the players.
There is no regular press conference today, so journalists who want to know the latest information can only do so through this interview.
There is also no fixed location for interviews, which can be on the sidelines of the training ground. It can also be outside the parking lot.
Chang Sheng was about to leave when he saw Carlos. Media came to herself.
"Often. The newspaper "Local Life in Getafe" is going to interview you, let me ask if you can arrange it? β
Chang Sheng nodded: "Of course you can." You are my first ally, what's not to like? β
To be honest, this is the first time he has been interviewed since he came to this world......
But wait!
Chang Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
Then he said to Mediano very solemnly: "Can I trust you completely, Carlos?" β
Carlos. Mediano couldn't understand why Tsung suddenly asked this question so solemnly.
He nodded, "Of course you can trust me completely, Chang." Are you in any trouble? β
"Well, actually...... It's a bit of a hassle, indeed...... Well, I'll invite you to dinner, and we'll talk slowly. β
Egg Hash Browns Bar, this is the second time Mediano has been here.
Last time he was here, he reached a cooperation agreement with Chang Sheng.
Now here, he has to help Chang Sheng solve personal problems, which are still a bit troublesome, and I'm afraid it's not so easy to solve.
However, Mediano did not shirk because he felt troublesome.
On the contrary, he felt that he had to help Chang Sheng no matter what.
Because it will make him and Chang Sheng true friends.
This is the most important thing.
Like Getafe's president, Flores, Mediano is now seeing the potential in Chang Sheng.
He doesn't know if this man will become Getafe's manager in the future, but no matter where he is, it will always be good for him to maintain a good relationship with him.
"I don't think the ......problem will be solved if we just send a letter to that Chinese media outlet in the name of Getafe FC," Chang Sheng said to Mediano.
"I don't really care what the newspapers say about me as a person. Because they can't hurt me a single hair, just like the Spanish media can't hurt me. But my parents are ordinary people, and they must have been affected by this...... I want to minimize the impact on them. I don't want their colleagues and neighbors to laugh at them. Do you understand, Carlos? β
Carlos. After hearing this, Mediano thought for a while, and then said to Chang Sheng: "Okay, you can leave this matter alone, Chang." I promise to help you get it right! β
Chang Sheng saw that the other party agreed so simply, and hurriedly said, "Thank you......"
But before he could finish his sentence, he was killed by Carlos. Mediano's laughter interrupted: "Thanks for what? The person who should say thank you is me, often! It's all thanks to you that Getafe has the results they have today, and we have never had such good results with how many managers we have changed before this! You are now Getafe's best hope. So I'm not just helping you, I'm helping Getafe. You are the manager of Getafe, you can't be distracted, your problem is my problem, I will definitely help you solve it! β
"Then I'll wait for good news for you, Carlos."
"Don't worry, if it doesn't work out, I won't come back!" Mediano said confidently.
Chang Sheng is so close that he doesn't squirt out a sip of wine......
