Chapter 395 Already Destined
On the day of the competition, Sun He couldn't sleep well all night, as if he was in a shabby thatched hut on a stormy night. I was always worried that the roof of the thatched house would be blown off by a strong wind, and I was worried that water would enter the house when I heard the heavy rain... In short, I couldn't close my eyes and sleep peacefully.
And coincidentally, the weather forecast does say there may be moderate to heavy rain tomorrow.
After finally getting through the night, the next day when he had just driven to the parking lot of the training base, he received a call from Secretary Zhang, telling him to go directly to Mr. Zhang's office after he arrived. Mr. Zhang wanted to see him. .
He had a premonition that the final judgment was coming.
But he had no choice but to go, so he had no choice but to go and prepare a countermeasure in his mind - no matter how Mr. Zhang asked, he just had to insist that it was not true and that it was Hu Lai's nonsense and deliberately dragging me into trouble.
Locking the car, he walked towards the club office building in the training base under the dark cloudy sky above his head.
When Sun He appeared in Mr. Zhang's office, Mr. Zhang calmly showed him a newspaper.
It was the freshly released "Lingnan Evening News". It had really just come out, with a strong scent of ink and a hint of residual warmth.
The evening newspaper was turned to the sports section, and the most eye-catching headline was the headline in the middle: "Poseidon's failure was doomed a year and a half ago!"
Then, surrounding this main title, there are articles with different subtitles, with pictures and words. "Lingnan Evening News" spent a whole page talking about one thing - how Hu Lai left the Poseidon Club's youth training team.
In short, he was forced to leave by Sun He, the newly appointed youth training director of Poseidon Club at the time.
Evening News reporter Gao Youjun visited many places to try to restore the truth of the matter. Finally, through the personal accounts of several Poseidon youth team players at the time, it was confirmed that Sun He did indeed say those outrageous things to Hu Lai.
"Mr. Cao called me this morning and asked me about what was in this newspaper." Club general manager Zhang Qiang looked at Sun He who was looking down at the newspaper and said calmly. "I said I didn't know either, and I wanted to ask you, so I called you here. Xiao Sun, what was said in the evening newspaper... is it true or false?"
Sun He's hand holding the newspaper was shaking slightly, causing the newspaper to make a clattering sound.
He knew who the "Mr. Cao" Mr. Zhang was referring to was Cao Jianwei, a 61-year-old businessman who is the chairman of Poseidon Club and the president of Nanling Yuanshan Group, the financial backer behind Poseidon Club.
Even Mr. Cao has asked about this matter, how could Sun He not know what this means?
He put down the newspaper tremblingly, and then said to Zhang Qiang: "Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry...I betrayed your trust and looked away at Hu Lai..."
Zhang Qiang raised his hand and did not let him continue, but nodded: "Okay, I understand. You can go back and write a resignation application for me later. The club will say to the outside world that you voluntarily resigned due to illness, which can be regarded as a resignation." You save some face.”
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang..." Sun He bowed his head and exited the general manager's office.
I happened to meet the beautiful female secretary. When she saw him coming out, she glanced at him. There was three parts sarcasm, five parts coldness and two parts disgust in her eyes.
But this was not the case when she saw Sun He before. She always smiled and greeted him proactively, for fear of offending this popular person under Mr. Zhang.
Now Sun He could no longer care about the female secretary's virtue in watching people order dishes, and he left in a hurry.
When he walked out of the main building of the club, he found that the originally cloudy sky had started to rain, and it was raining heavily, and he didn't bring an umbrella.
He originally wanted to go back into the building to hide from the rain, but when he looked back at the brightly lit office building, he finally did not dare to walk in, but lowered his head and walked into the rain.
Later, Lingnan Poseidon Football Club issued a statement.
The statement stated that the club's youth training director Sun He submitted a resignation application to the club due to physical reasons, and the club agreed to his resignation request. Starting today, Sun He will no longer serve as the club's youth training director.
As for whether Sun He's departure is related to what Hu Lai said, the club has no statement.
A reporter from the media called to ask about this, and the Poseidon Club was unconvinced.
As for whether Sun He really said those words to Hu Lai, the club did not respond.
Everyone guessed that Sun He's resignation must be related to what Hu Lai revealed.
In the self-media marketing account, these two things have been equated.
Some self-media even made up a story about "Don't bully young people who are poor", telling everyone the grudges between Hu Lai and Sun He vividly.

"The team reached the FA Cup final, and you let that person get fired. What a double blessing, Hu Lai!"
On WeChat, Li Qingqing, who was jet-lagged, came to congratulate Hu Lai after learning the whole story.
"It's not bad..." Hu Lai said calmly, like a master who killed an ant casually.
"Hu Lai, do you know? This Sun He is the culprit who made my dad leave Quanshun Football School and come to Dongchuan Middle School!"
"Shall I go? What about this matter?" Hu Lai's expert demeanor was gone.
"Well, he and my dad competed for the head coaching position of the elite football team of Quanshun Football School..." Li Qingqing told Hu Lai the past events of their time at Quanshun Football School.
After hearing this, Hu Lai was silent for a while, and then said: "Then I really want to thank this grandson. If it weren't for him, why would you and the coach come to Dongchuan Middle School? If you didn't come... there wouldn't be anyone Taught me how to play football!”
Li Qingqing opened his eyes wide and looked at what Hu Lai said. Then after thinking about it, he felt that what Hu Lai said was completely correct.
They can meet, I really have to thank Sun He...
Without him, my father would still be an elite coach at Transit Football School, and I would continue to play and train in Transit’s elite women’s football team.
They will not return to their distant hometown. Dad will not become the head coach of the Dongchuan Middle School team, and she will not go to Dongchuan Middle School, nor will she meet Hu Lai playing football alone in that open space.
How long will Hu Lai continue to train secretly in that unknown place before he gets a chance?
She doesn't know Hu Lai, and Hu Lai doesn't know her. That's another story... No, it's a story in another parallel world.
Somehow, it seems that some things were destined from the beginning...
"Well, I want to thank him." Thinking of this, Li Qingqing replied.
"Oh, why didn't you tell me this earlier? After the game yesterday, I could thank him for expelling your father from Quanshun Football School so that he became my school team coach... …”
"It's better to say goodbye. My dad has never let me tell this matter." Li Qingqing quickly stopped Hu Lai, fearing that this kid would really do something like that - judging from his previous style, he could really do this. Dry. "And aren't you adding salt to the wound?"
"Not only do I sprinkle salt, I also sprinkle cumin and chili powder, and then I turn it over and re-apply oil and seasoning. It makes a sizzling sound..."
"Stop talking, Hu Lai, I'm hungry!" Li Qingqing protested.
"What time is it and you're hungry?"
"I didn't eat much..." Li Qingqing was a little shy.
"Why?"
"Actually, it was the coach here who asked me to lose weight..."
"Lose weight?"
"Lose weight!!!"
"Yes, yes, lose weight, lose weight...but not to the point, you are not heavy at all, really."
"The team doctor said I'm still a little heavier. He said that if I can lose weight, I can be faster and the burden on my muscles can be smaller when exerting force..." Li Qingqing explained to Hu Lai seriously.
"What is your goal weight?"
"Sixty to sixty-two kilograms..."
"How much do you weigh now?"
"I won't tell you!" Then Li Qingqing changed the topic: "I'll tell you, Hu Lai. They are really professional here, and the club takes me very seriously. They specially arranged a nutrition group for me to improve my health. Supervise my diet. Although I haven’t played yet, I feel like I’m not far away from playing!”
After saying that, she sent Hu Lai a photo of herself training in the club gym.
In the photo, she is carrying a pair of barbells and doing squat training under the guidance of a physical trainer.
This photo was taken from the side while she was squatting down.
Wearing shorts, her thigh muscles swelled when she squatted, as if a surging force was generated from the muscles, and then transported upward along the curve of her hips, connecting to her straight waist and back, helping her to lift the barbell .
"Handsome!" Hu Lai praised.
This was not a compliment he wanted against his will, but he really felt that Li Qingqing, who was gritting his teeth and with veins popping out on his neck in the photo, was extremely handsome.
Then he noticed Li Qingqing's hair: "Did you cut your hair short?"
In the photo, Li Qingqing's iconic ponytail is gone, replaced by short hair just reaching her ears. The bangs that originally covered her forehead were parted to the left and right, and clipped with hairpins to prevent them from falling down and blocking her eyes.
"Yeah. Does it look good?"
“So cool!”
It was the first time he saw the short-haired version of Li Qingqing. With her sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, she really looked heroic and dashing.
Hu Lai asked again: "How many French words can you speak now?"
"Ten more sentences than last time!" Li Qingqing said proudly.
"That much more?"
"Haha, what is 'cai'? Do you know how difficult it is to learn French? You, a person who just barely passed the final exam in English, have the nerve to say 'cai'?" After Hu Lai said this, Li Qingqing was not happy. .
"It's not useful. Why do I do so well in the exam? In fact, I am a language genius. It's just because I don't have a language environment, so I don't need to study so well. I just need to pass and be useful enough." Hu Lai lied smoothly. "Let me tell you, if I go to Europe to play football, my foreign language skills will definitely improve by leaps and bounds. Then I will let you see what a true language genius is!"
"You should come out first and then talk." Li Qingqing rolled his eyes.
After chatting with Hu Lai, Li Qingqing put down her phone. Wearing her training clothes, she stood up and walked towards the team's physical trainer...the scale next to her.
Then she took a breath and stood up gently.
After the screen flashed three times, her current weight appeared.
63.1
The unit is kilogram.
"Not bad, Qingqing, you have improved by 0.4 again!" After the physical fitness coach recorded the number, he gave Li Qingqing a thumbs up.
Li Qingqing barely understood what the fitness coach meant by using hand gestures, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then I saw the number on the screen jumped and turned into 63.2.
Uh...
She looked at the fitness coach with some embarrassment.
The physical fitness coach lowered his head and saw the number, raised his head and grinned at Li Qingqing, showing his white teeth: "It's okay, Qingqing, it's okay."
After speaking, he crossed out what he had written down before and re-wrote the numbers next to them.

Flash Star eliminated Poseidon in the away game, Sun He was resigned, and Hu Lai succeeded in revenge.
But Zhang Qiang, the man who caused Zhao Kangming to leave the club, is still sitting in his position as general manager. No responsibility was sought, or in other words, there was no responsibility to hold.
Many people on the Internet complained for Zhao Kangming, but Zhao Kangming himself didn't care.
After this game, the bad blood between him and his original club had disappeared.
He has proven himself in front of the club's senior management, proving that as long as the tactics are appropriate, a team relying on young players as its core can still be competitive.
This FA Cup semi-final victory against Poseidon is the best proof.
Of course, if there are still people who want to raise objections and say that the FA Cup's unpopularity is too high and a game like this that determines the outcome cannot explain anything, then it doesn't matter.
Isn’t there still a league?
In the long league, stable performance is more important, so the league results can always prove that Zhao Kangming's persistence is right, right?
But now Flash Star can stop thinking about the FA Cup and concentrate on going all out in the league.
