Chapter 363 Where is Qingqing going?
"Lao Li, the reporters are all calling me..."
Li Ziqiang answered the phone and heard the voice of his old friend Yang Mingwei. He was Li Qingqing's club coach and now also works part-time as Li Qingqing's agent, responsible for negotiating with foreign clubs.
"Are you asking about the discussion with the Paris Eger Club? Tell them that we haven't decided yet. The other party is interested, but this does not mean that we will definitely go to Paris..."
Before Li Ziqiang could finish his words, he was interrupted by Yang Mingwei: "No, where is it... They asked Li Qingqing if it is true that he and Hu Lai have known each other for a long time!"
"..." Li Ziqiang was silent while holding the phone. This was probably the problem he least wanted to face, and it gave him more headaches than "Where is Qingqing going?"
Starting from last night, an article written by an unknown bastard shook the relationship between Li Qingqing and Hu Lai to the bottom, and then began to spread widely on the Internet. His daughter's WeChat message rang for almost half the night. He felt heartbroken when he saw his daughter holding a mobile phone and replying to messages constantly.
Ever since Li Qingqing came to Shanhailanyue to play football, he had told his daughter and Lao Yang to downplay the fact that Li Qingqing had attended Dongchuan Middle School. The explanation he gave at that time was that he didn't want anyone to follow the news to find him, and he didn't want his daughter's privacy to be stripped bare by the media.
But in fact... he just hopes that as time goes by, his daughter can forget this experience and the person he met at Dongchuan Middle School.
Of course now it turns out his plan failed.
But if Hu Lai didn't stand out from the high school game, didn't go to a professional team, and didn't perform well in Flash Stars... in fact, his ideas would gradually become a reality.
How many of the youthful memories from school days can last into adulthood?
As a result, the boy’s ghost is still there! How come you can always appear in front of your daughter again and again? The most outrageous thing is the East Asian Cup. Something that I thought was impossible before actually happened - Hu Lai was selected for the Olympic training team and went to participate in the East Asian Cup. He happened to meet his daughter, and the two of them were still together in the end. We took a photo together at the airport!
I really didn’t know it was that bastard reporter who made such a request. If he wanted to know, he would have to break that person’s legs!
"Old Li? Old Li?" Yang Mingwei on the other end of the phone called when he saw that Li Ziqiang had not spoken for a long time.
"It's true that we have known each other for a long time. You know this, Lao Yang. Why do you need to ask me?" Li Ziqiang replied.
"Look what you said, just because I know it doesn't mean I can say it. Don't I have to ask for your opinion first? What if you don't want to say it?"
Li Ziqiang thought to himself that I don't want to say it, but can this be decided by whether I want to or not?
Yesterday, my daughter had done all the tricks in front of her teammates!
"It's okay, you can say it, it's not a shameful thing..." Li Ziqiang said weakly.
"Lao Li, are you okay?"
"Why do you ask?"
"There's just something wrong with your voice..."
"It's nothing, maybe I'm tired recently."
"Oh, you have to take care of yourself. When Qingqing's transfer is settled, let's have a drink! Then I'll go back to those reporters!"
"Okay, you go."
Li Ziqiang had just hung up the phone when he heard his daughter's voice behind him: "Dad, is this from Uncle Yang?"
Li Ziqiang looked back at his daughter who had just finished washing her hair and was wiping her hair with a towel, and forced a smile: "Yes."
"Have there been any progress in the negotiations with Paris Eger?"
"Uh... no." Li Ziqiang shook his head, "A reporter couldn't contact you, so he went to him and asked about you and Hu Lai."
"Ah?" Li Qingqing was a little surprised, then carefully stared at his father's expression and asked, "Dad, how do you want Uncle Yang to answer?"
"How else can I answer? Tell the truth, just say whatever it is."
Li Qingqing quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then she heard her father ask again: "Or do you want to hide it?"
She waved her hands quickly: "No, no, it's fine like this. I'm also very happy to meet Hu Lai... I'm going to blow dry my hair!"
After saying that, she turned around and returned to the bathroom.
Li Ziqiang looked at his daughter's back and was speechless for a long time.

The reporters couldn't find Li Qingqing who was on vacation, but they could find Hu Lai who was training with the team normally...
So after Flash Star ended its training, reporters blocked Wang Guangwei's car outside the training base.
"Yes, yes, she and I have known each other since we were in high school. She was a transfer student at the time, but I didn't know her identity at that time, so I thought she was just an ordinary transfer student... What kind of relationship? It's just a classmate relationship. Friendship... Why didn’t I admit it when I was on the Olympic team? No one seemed to have asked me if I knew Li Qingqing? We know each other, right? You haven't asked me about it, so what do I have to admit? Do I have to use a loudspeaker to tell the world that I know Li Qingqing... Hey, are you a sports reporter or an entertainment reporter? It's interesting to find out. Do you want me to tell you all the details about Li Qingqing and I in high school?”
Hu Lai closed the car window and said to Wang Guangwei: "Let's go, let's go, what's there to say to the paparazzi..."
Zhang Qinghuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, laughed: "Let me tell you Hu Lai, even if you won five yuan in the competition, you can't get such attention and interest from reporters. Li Qingqing is in the limelight now, and her popularity is certainly not trivial."< br>
"Then I would rather choose to win five yuan..." After Hu Lai finished speaking, he found Zhang Qinghuan looking at him, and even Wang Guangwei glanced at him through the rearview mirror, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
< br>
"Do you know how many people would rather give up the chance to win five yuan and have a relationship with Li Qingqing that they have known for a long time?" This time it was Wang Guangwei who answered Hu Lai. "Be an orphan, Hu Lai!"
"Old Wang, how can he be an orphan? He is a well-fed man and doesn't know how hungry he is!" Zhang Qinghuan shook his head and sighed, correcting Wang Guangwei's statement.
Wang Guangwei thought about it and said, "Damn it, why don't you eat minced meat!"
Hu Lai was not happy when he heard the two people insulting each other: "What a full man, how can I be full? Don't tell me that Li Qingqing and I are like a couple. Let me tell you, we are innocent!" We are just classmates and friends!”
Wang Guangwei and Zhang Qinghuan in front looked at each other and chose to ignore Hu Lai, the "King of Forcers".
Don't answer, don't answer, don't answer.
If you don't answer, this kid won't be able to show off in front of us!
Suffocate him to death!

The fact that Li Qingqing and Hu Lai have known each other for a long time has quickly gone viral on the Internet. After all, to put it bluntly, it is just that the two people have known each other for a long time, and there is no other relationship.
And after the East Asian Cup, everyone felt that the two people must have known each other. Now we just know that the two people actually had contacts in high school, so the impact is not strong. Many people know this and say "oh" and it's over.
Only those who regard Li Qingqing as themselves will be grudges for a long time.
But there are actually not many such people.
People like Luo Kai have known for a long time that Hu Lai and Li Qingqing have a close relationship, so they can be said to have immunity.
As for Guan Xinyan... who cares what he thinks?
The hot topic in the mass media is still which European club Li Qingqing will play for.
Women's football did not develop as early as China and the United States in Europe, but their professional development is very fast. The highest level football leagues in the world are all in Europe. With their experience and system in organizing men's football leagues, women's football is also developing in full swing in European professional leagues. Even the United States, currently the top country in women's football, has many female football players going to play in European leagues.
As for China, one of the earliest countries to develop women's football, the Women's Super League cannot compare with other European leagues.
The vast majority of European women's football teams are established based on men's football clubs, which means that the men's football club has established a women's football division. For example, England's London Bridge Football Club, which has been rumored to have an affair with Li Qingqing, is itself a traditional strong team in the Premier League. Their men's football team has won the Champions League twice and five times in the Premier League.
London Bridge Club is also the first club in English football to have a women's team. Their women's football team has achieved first-rate results in the Women's Premier League and is one of the top teams.
The current Premier League can be regarded as the best league in Europe, but this is not the case in the world of women's football.
The highest level of women's professional football league is in France.
Paris's Eger Football Club is a French giant, with brilliant results in its men's football team, as well as its women's football team. Eger's women's football team has won the Women's Football Champions League four times, while the men's football team of the same club has only won the Champions League once, thirty years ago... You must know that the Women's Football Champions League has only been held ten times now. . It is no exaggeration to say that they are the number one club in European women's football.
In addition to these two clubs, there are other clubs also pursuing Li Qingqing.
The Football Association and Shanhai Blue Moon Club naturally strongly support Li Qingqing's study abroad and set no obstacles at all.
Since Qin Lin returned to China to play football, there has never been a player in Chinese football, male or female, who can play in Europe. So now Li Qingqing's study abroad has become not only her own matter, nor just a football matter.
Some people hope that Li Qingqing can go to a giant women's football team. Even if he can't play in the game at the beginning, it doesn't matter. At least he can gain high exposure and attention, which will be beneficial to the promotion and publicity of the Chinese women's football team. Some people also hope that Li Qingqing will go to a mid-range team that is not very strong, so that he can at least be guaranteed to play in the game. Compared with the vain reputation, being able to play in the game is obviously the most important thing.
They all have their reasons and are right.
There was a huge quarrel online at Goal.
Until a person named "WHO of the restricted area" left a message on the post: "You are only so good! Why can't Li Qingqing play in the top giants?"
Then this group mocked everyone's "WHO in the restricted area" and was criticized by people on both sides.
"Is it so easy to compete in top-tier clubs? Even if Li Qingqing has outstanding talent, it still takes time to adapt to European football. The top-tier clubs are so competitive that I don't think it is suitable for Li Qingqing's first stop in Europe. Who do you think you are? , who are you looking down on here?”
"I support Li Qingqing to go to a wealthy club, but I also think we should be more pragmatic. Even us fans should calm down and not put too much pressure on Li Qingqing! Like this floor leader said, it is just adding chaos!"
"Is it interesting to work as a 'water fountain keeper' for a wealthy club? Li Qingqing is still young, not yet twenty years old. What she needs now is to go to a team that can play games stably, regardless of whether the team is a wealthy club or not. You have to eat one bite at a time, the important thing is that someone in Chinese football goes out, not where they go. Why can’t Li Qingqing play in the top clubs? I suggest you ask Li Qingqing yourself!”
Then the floor owner really went to ask Li Qingqing, and the answer he got was: "Currently, the most likely possibility is to go to Paris Eger."
A week later, the answer was revealed. Li Qingqing moved from Shanhailanyue to French Ligue 1 side Paris Eger.
Fans who support Li Qingqing to go to a wealthy club are overjoyed, while those who don't support her going to a wealthy club believe that there must be pressure from superiors behind Li Qingqing's choice. They even think that Li Qingqing's father is coveting the signing fee given by Paris Eger... …
But no matter what everyone's opinion is on the result of this transfer, the summer drama of "Where is Qingqing going?" has also come to an end.
On the Fourth of July, she and her father, accompanied by Yang Mingwei, flew from the Chinese capital to Paris, France, to sign a contract with her new club.
On the same day in China, Hu Lai and his teammates flew to Dongtai to prepare for the fifth round of the Football Association Cup the next day.
Their opponent is Dongtai Juxing City, an amateur team eager to create a dark horse miracle.
This time he was not left out of the squad by head coach Zhao Kangming.
Although most of his main teammates did not come, he still came with the team, and with him was Chen Xingyi. (End of chapter)
