Chapter 1024 Died from a Meal
Xie Lan held the phone and giggled non-stop. After laughing, she simply leaned on the table and hammered the table with her hands.
Hu Lixin smiled so hard that he looked at her helplessly while holding his job: "Your smile is too low!"
"Hahaha...don't you think it's funny?" Xie Lan asked, suppressing laughter.
"It's funny, but I won't laugh like this. I feel like you will die laughing..."
It was now half past nine in the morning, and they were having breakfast, but because Xie Lan smiled so exaggeratedly, it was almost impossible to eat the breakfast.
Although they got up in the middle to watch a Champions League game, they did not sleep until noon and still got up at nine o'clock.
Of course, getting up at nine o'clock cannot be considered early, because they usually get up at seven o'clock. But for them who have watched the Champions League game, this time cannot be considered too late.
Hu Lixin teaches children to play football in primary school. He doesn't have to go to school in the morning. Unless there are any special circumstances, he always has lunch at home before going to school.
Xie Lan was still having breakfast at home at this time and did not go out, so he was already late.
But she had already informed the director in advance that as long as there was a game for her son Hu Lai, she would go to work half a day late the next day.
The director agreed without saying a word.
Now Xie Lan's class is becoming more and more casual, almost like a semi-retired state, but he refuses to leave his job.
Her company actually doesn't want Xie Lan to leave. After all, having the mother of a Chinese football hero working in their company is also a matter of pride for their company.
Now that she was already late, she was not in a hurry to go to work, so she ate breakfast in a comfortable mood and browsed Weibo, wanting to see what the "shady" netizens on the Internet had to say about the game.
Then I saw a big discussion on Weibo about her son having dinner with Zhang Qinghuan.
This incident has a special topic on Weibo called "A murder caused by a meal."
Just reading this title will make people confused, but at the same time, they will be very curious and have no idea what it is about.
After clicking in, I discovered that it was actually related to a football match.
If you look carefully, you will be amazed by this name - it is simple and crude but very subtle and goes straight to the core of this matter.
"Just for a meal, even the super wealthy would dare to kill you!"
"No, is Hu Lai really just one step away?"
"False foodie: I ate five bowls of rice, ten steamed buns, and two soybean paste elbows today, and I feel like I'm not full yet; real foodie: What? Can I get a free meal if I win against Catalonia? Fuck Catalonia. ! ”
"I know they may not be serious, but they just can't help but laugh. What should I do? Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!"
"The logic of this matter is impeccable! Zhang Qinghuan's Sarria failed to win the Barcelona derby in the end, so Hu Lai stepped forward and avenged Zhang Qinghuan. So, isn't it reasonable for Zhang Qinghuan to invite Hu Lai to dinner? So I declare This is true, Hu Lai’s little universe exploded just for this meal, scoring a hat-trick and helping Leeds City defeat Catalonia United!”
"Losing for such a reason... I really want to know Catalonia's opinion on this matter!"
"Catalan United: Are you polite!"
The Internet is full of joy.

"... Catalan United suffered a minor upset at their home court last night. They actually lost 2:4 to Leeds City despite being widely expected before the game... As last season's Premier League champions , Leeds City is considered the weakest Premier League champion in history, and is also considered the weakest among the eight seeded teams in the Champions League this season. The results seemed to prove this view - before defeating Catalonia, they played four Champions League group matches, winning only one and losing all the remaining three... It was under such circumstances that when Leeds City defeated Catalonia 4:2 in the away game, which was so incredible. It can be said that half of Europe was shocked last night!
"Leeds City's victory also makes the battle for first place in this group full of suspense. Tonight Vesuvius will challenge Bay Lighthouse away from home. If they can defeat their opponents, they can compete with Catalan United in the final round. First in the group...but that's not the most important thing. In addition to the victory itself, there was also their main shooter Hu
"Hu completed a hat-trick in this game, making himself the first Chinese player to score a hat-trick in European competitions (including the Champions League and Europa League). He once again became a football hero in their country... But that's not the most important thing...
"After the game, Hu had a party with Zhang Qinghuan, his national teammate who played for Sarria. He also forwarded a Facebook post from Zhang. The Facebook content was a photo of him and Zhang. The photo was actually nothing... The important thing is that what Zhang said on this Facebook page inadvertently revealed a very key information, that is, this dinner was agreed in advance. As long as Leeds City can defeat Catalonia United, as a Sarria player, Zhang will treat Hu to dinner...
"Zhang is the main midfielder of the Chinese national team, but in the entire European football world, he can still only be regarded as a 'nobody'. Because of this Facebook post, he has entered more people's horizons. The 'good things' that flocked to him The comment section of this Facebook page was filled with followers, saying that they finally found the important reason for Leeds City's incredible upset in the away game!
"That's... to attend this dinner date!"
When Tony Clark saw this, he finally couldn't help laughing.
While laughing, he also said to his assistant coach Sam Landier: "I really didn't expect that we defeated Catalonia United in the away game, and Hu also scored a hat trick. As a result, the most eye-catching news after the game was actually It’s this meal...ha!”
"Do you believe what is said on the Internet? Is this meal really stimulating to Hu?" Randhir asked.
"He did suggest to me that after the game against Catalonia, the whole team would stay one more night in Barcelona..." Clark said, rubbing his unshaven chin. "And I told him at that time that I would not agree to it unless we beat Catalonia. The result... you also saw it."
Hearing this, Randhir's eyes widened and he murmured in an incredible tone: "It's really unbelievable... He came here just to have dinner with his friends... This is actually true!"
< br>
Clark smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if it's true or not. In fact, the truth of the matter is not important at all. Anyway, everyone is willing to think this way now, so let it go. Besides...Sam, he beat me fiercely just for a meal. Super rich, isn’t the story itself cool? ”
"Okay..." Randhir finally saw that Tony Clark was on Hu Lai's side unconditionally. He would support and believe anything that was beneficial to Hu Lai.
He thought about Clark's words.
Performing a hat trick for a meal... does seem to be more of a gimmick.
It’s no wonder that even traditional media are now hyping up this matter. The influence of that meal is no longer limited to the Internet.

"Hu, did you really make an appointment with Zhang before the game to have dinner after winning against Catalonia?"
When the Leeds City players' plane landed at the airport, they were quickly surrounded by reporters as they walked out of the terminal, and many of them were directed at Hu Lai, who had scored a hat-trick.
The questions they asked were basically related to current hot topics.
Hu Lai smiled slightly when he heard everyone's answers: "Of course it's true, I made a reservation for the restaurant as soon as I arrived in Barcelona!"
After speaking, he seemed to be afraid that no one would believe it, so he took out his mobile phone, opened the booking confirmation text message, and showed it in front of the camera.
On the text message receipt for the restaurant reservation, there was a date of dispatch, which was indeed Monday, the day Leeds City arrived in Barcelona.
This thing can't be faked.
When the reporters saw this text message, their eyes lit up - it was so true!
Many of them thought it was a boring hype after hearing about it before, but now it seems that this meal was indeed finalized a few days before the game.
In this way, even if Hulay did not use a hat trick to help the team defeat Catalonia United just for a meal, at least it can show that he is full of confidence in defeating Catalan United away from home. What a great publicity point. !
Nowadays, no one doubts the voices on the Internet. Originally, some people thought that it was just the conjecture of the bad guys on the Internet...
Now there is not only text message evidence of Hu Lai's restaurant reservation, but the team's head coach Tony Clark also testified for him.
Also at the airport, he told an unknown "story" to reporters who asked about this matter:
"...I don't know if it was really because of this meal that he was in such good shape...but I remembered an interesting thing - on the first day he arrived in Barcelona, he had privately suggested to me that he hoped to After the match against Catalonia, the team was able to stay one more night in Barcelona
"At the time, I actually didn't know why he made such a suggestion, because he knew very well that every time we played a Champions League away game, we flew back that same night... Now I understand, it turned out that he wanted to get together with friends... After all, it is not convenient for him to go out to have dinner with friends before the game.
"To be honest, I didn't want to say yes, but I couldn't say no directly - that was not in line with my style - so I thought of a way to politely reject him. I told him that if we can beat Catalonia United away from home , then I agreed to his request and stayed one more night in Barcelona... Unexpectedly, we really won! And Hu scored three yuan in the game..."
At this point, Clark reached up and covered his face.
With all the witnesses and material evidence available, this case can come to an authoritative conclusion:
Yes, Catalan United did die because of the meal agreement between Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan!
This game, Hu Lai's hat trick, and this meal... together will become a good story in world football and be widely circulated! (End of chapter)
