Chapter 236: Retribution
The game ended with Flash Star defeating Youjiang Honglian 3:0 at home.
When the Shining Star fans left the Provincial Sports Center, everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces, as if the sunset was shining on their faces.
But today is actually cloudy, and it might rain soon...
No one cared about the weather. They chatted about the game that had just ended and embarked on the road home contentedly.
Almost everyone's topic is related to Hu Lai.
This young player was unknown before, but in the past week he has suddenly become the focus of everyone's discussion.
Last weekend, he came on as a substitute in the away game and scored a goal to help the team take three points.
This weekend, he came off the bench again and scored twice, and the Stars won two consecutive victories.
How could such a dazzling performance be ignored by everyone?
"That anti-offside goal was so beautiful! I had a God's Eye view in the stands, but I didn't even see it was an opportunity... I was just looking to see where the ball was!"
"Hey, how about calling him a genius? Of course Qin Lin's passing is so beautiful! The two of them have a tacit understanding of passing and running!"
"Hey, I feel like there should be no suspense about relegation this season, as long as Qin Lin and Hu Lai cooperate well..."
"Lai Zekai can be transferred! I support the club in selling him and getting some money back!"
"Hey, I'm not surprised at all by Hu Lai's performance. I watched the national competition! When Dongchuan Middle School defeated Shuguang High School in the final, I watched the live broadcast! He made a hat-trick in that game Magic man! Do you think he is a genius? But I think it is just a matter of course!"
Discussions like this appeared in the square outside the stadium, at the bus station, on the subway, and...on the Internet.

"Hulai scores another goal!" A new star is rising! 》
This post has become a popular post in the forum of "Goal". The number of views and replies are constantly rising.
Click in to take a look. In fact, the content of the main post is very simple. It just retells the news about the afternoon game, and adds a sentence at the end:
"Are there any Flash Star fans here? Let's talk about your views on Hu Lai!"
In terms of title and content, this is a very ordinary post, which does not match the number of views and replies it shows.
Judging from the initial reply time for each post, the replies were actually not very enthusiastic, and the popularity was naturally not high.
After all, this post is talking about the Chinese League One.
Although the "Goal" website is an all-inclusive football website, the most popular ones are the European Football General Page and the sub-editions of European giant clubs, followed by several traditional and strong sub-sections of the Chinese Super League.
The sub-sections of the Chinese League One are far less popular than those above.
But starting from the tenth floor, the number of replies to this post surged.
Because someone said this on the tenth floor: "Don't tease me, I just came on as a substitute in the Chinese League One game and dribbled the ball in. How can this be called a rising star? You are so stupid." Right? Why did I say Chinese football? There is no hope, just because there are too many fake fans like the poster, and their performance in one or two games can be used to brag! And it is a Chinese League One match, which is not even as good as the English League Two. What value does a performance in this kind of game have? Can it be said?”
This last sentence angered many fans of the Chinese League One team. After all, the team they supported was playing in the Chinese League One. How could they tolerate someone insulting their league like this?
One of the most annoying behaviors in online forums is to fire map cannons.
So someone immediately came out to argue with him: "What's wrong with the Chinese League One? Has the Chinese League One taken advantage of you? It's not even as good as the English League Two... Now Muyang Dog can even boast of being in the fourth tier of English League?"
"I'm afraid the floor leader hasn't even watched a Chinese League One game, so he just complains there? I guess his impression of China's local leagues is still twenty years ago? A frog in the well!"
Chinese League One fans attacked the leader in groups, which also aroused dissatisfaction among others.
"Who do I think it is? It turns out to be Hu Lai. I was lucky to win the Golden Boot in the high school national competition. It seems that I am also lucky to come to the professional league... But I advise some people not to be happy too early. Student players are in the professional league. The football environment is still a new thing, and no one knows what the future will be like. I personally feel that introducing student players into professional leagues is nothing but wishful thinking by the Football Association..."
"Those upstairs, don't underestimate the student players of campus football. Japan is our role model! Japan promotes the progress of professional football through the development of campus football!"
"Don't talk nonsense upstairs. There are very few people in Japanese campus football who can eventually become professional players. Just pay less attention to marketing accounts..."
……
In this forum, these types of people have existed for a long time.
There are fans who only pay attention to professional football, and there are fans who pay attention to campus football because of the national campus competition.
There are fans who follow Chinese football, and there are also fans who usually only watch European leagues.
There are fans who only focus on the top leagues, and there are also football manager gamers who have a soft spot for lower leagues...
It is difficult for these people to reach an agreement and quarrels are the norm.
This post perfectly brings together these types of people. Because Hu Lai is a student player, he attracts fans of campus football. At the same time, he becomes a player of the Chinese League One team, so Chinese football and low-level football League fans are also paying attention. Fans who only pay attention to Chinese football and fans who only pay attention to European football are not the same people, because this matter is also at odds.
So all the contradictions were concentrated on Hu Lai and this post.
In the end, everyone was no longer discussing whether Hu Lai had a future, but attacking each other for their respective positions.
When Li Qingqing saw this post, she also wanted to see what everyone thought of Hu Lai. At that time, the post was already more than 30 pages high, and she was quite surprised - when did Hu Lai's popularity become so terrifying?
As a result, she clicked in and found that most of the replies had nothing to do with Hu Lai. Instead, they were arguing to defend her own position. All kinds of unscrupulous remarks were based on the fact that no one knew whether the person behind the network ID was a person or a ghost. When his hidden characteristics were revealed, it was a complete mess.
In this case, Li Qingqing certainly didn't want to waste time and energy on posts.
But just after she exited the post, she suddenly discovered that the owner of this building had an ID called "WHO of the Restricted Area"...
Li Qingqing reached out and covered her face.
It means that I scored two goals in today's game, why don't I show it off in front of myself?
Maybe I didn’t want to bring trouble to myself, so I went to the forum to ask for compliments...
But looking at the posts that turned into a quarrel, Li Qingqing laughed happily again: You deserve it! I didn’t expect the building to be crooked like this!

Hu Lai had no choice but to close the "Goal" app, and was still muttering about the man who made the map distorted.
He really wanted to post a post to induce everyone to speak, so as to see how the fans are discussing him now. Will they praise him as a genius? Or there may be a few little fans, little fans, etc...
As a result, they were all destroyed by the map cannon of a "superior party"!
Hu Lai was a little unhappy because he didn't see enough compliments on the Internet.
He thought about it and couldn't just make himself unhappy.
So he started rummaging through his WeChat address book.

Chen Xingyi knew that Hu Lai had a match today - Hu Lai didn't tell him this, but he just knew it.
And he also knew that Hu Lai scored twice after coming off the bench in this game, helping the team achieve two consecutive victories - this was not what Hu Lai told him, but he just knew it. Although he would rather not know...
So he decided that no matter what, he would not look at his WeChat Moments tonight, and he would never let Hu Lai put it on his face again...
But looking at the little red dot in the upper right corner of the WeChat icon, he couldn't hold back and clicked on it.
As a result, he saw the WeChat message sent to him by Hu Lai: "Scored twice, blah!"
Damn it!
Chen Xingyi didn't waste any time talking to Hu Lai. He directly clicked on Hu Lai's avatar, and then selected "Add to blacklist" in more settings.
After completing this set of operations, he took a deep breath and felt that all the turbid air in his chest had been exhaled.
Feel comfortable!
No, not comfortable yet...
Chen Xingyi thought, how could he enjoy such disgusting—no, happy—things to himself?
So he went to the Internet to find a piece of news about Anton Shining Stars defeating Youjiang Honglian 3:0 at home. The title also contained keywords such as "Rising Star Hu Lai scored twice".
Then choose to share it with your WeChat friends, find Luo Kai's name in the friend list, and click Send.
WeChat prompt: The message has been sent, but was rejected by the other party.
Chen Xingyi:? ? ?
After a few seconds, he realized that he had been blacklisted by Luo Kai!
When he came back to his senses, he was particularly angry: Is it because he can't afford it? What kind of blacklist are you doing for nothing? ! Is your little heart so fragile? ! Gan!

Hu Lixin and his wife Xie Lan were watching TV in the bedroom. At this moment, Xie Lan's cell phone alarm clock suddenly rang, which startled Hu Lixin: "What are you doing? The alarm clock is set at this time?"
Xie Lan didn't explain to him, but turned off the alarm clock, picked up the TV remote control and changed the channel, switching to the sports channel of Anton TV.
Just after changing the channel, the familiar sports news opening music came from the TV.
A sweet-looking female announcer appeared on the TV screen, smiling slightly at the camera: "Good evening, viewers, and welcome to today's evening sports news. In a Chinese League One game that ended this afternoon, Flash Star was at home Defeated relegation rival Youjiang Honglian 3:0... Hu Lai came on as a substitute in the 55th minute and scored a goal for the team just after coming on... Then he scored twice with a header to help Flash Star Completely defeat the opponent..."
The picture on the TV has long since changed to a match between Flashing Star and Youjiang Honglian, with Hu Lai being the protagonist in the picture.
"Now, I scored a goal!" Xie Lan pointed at the TV screen and said to her husband proudly.
Hu Lixin finally knew why his wife set an alarm clock...
He rolled his eyes at his wife: "Nervous..."
Then get up and walk out.
"Why are you going again?" Xie Lan asked behind him.
"Smoking!" Hu Lixin said in a muffled voice.
Then he stood in the dark kitchen and shook out the last cigarette from the empty cigarette box.
After lighting it, put it in your mouth, take a deep breath, and then spit it out slowly.
While puffing away the mist, he stared at the night sky outside the window in trance.
I've been feeling a bit tired lately...(End of Chapter)
