Chapter 31

Liu Hao's expression didn't change, even though he was disappointed by the response.

But someone who can't hide their feelings would immediately show it. Liu Hao, at least, was a civil servant and wouldn't reveal his emotions so easily.

However, he felt uncomfortable inside.

This salary, could it even support a person... It was hard enough to support himself.

He still had to travel up and down every week. Salespeople worked this hard, but they earned a lot more. Was he considered a professional football player? With his skills, he was at least better than Gao Feiji, right? Even Zhao Yijiao would have to lick his toes in front of him.

Although he didn't play football for the money, when money and ideals conflict, ideals become unrealistic...

"Regarding the terms, I'll leave it to Lai Yuxin. She is my agent, after all." After some thought, Liu Hao decided to pass the ball to Lai Yuxin. Negotiating was something women were good at, and they could do it without losing face.

Lai Yuxin's mind was still on He Xiaoling.

He Xiaoling was probably having a great time talking with Ali Han. It was unclear whether Ali Han was interested in He Xiaoling or her players.

Anyway, when Liu Hao called her, she didn't hear it.

Women, their jealousy is strong! Three women make a drama, and this has nothing to do with their level of thought or cultural cultivation...

Two women, it's definitely an endless war!

"Hmph! Don't think only she can pick players! Brother Nan, let's talk about the contract right now!" When Lai Yuxin was normal, she was decisive, "I looked at the contract just now, the base salary is fine... But the travel expenses, food, and entertainment should definitely be covered by the club."

Well... Is this how contracts are discussed so casually? Liu Hao was embarrassed; he could have done it better himself.

"What, the monthly salary is not bad. You only come four times a week, which means you earn 300 yuan a day. Where can you find such a good job... Come on, a grown man, don't be so petty. You're not here to collect a salary, you're here to score goals and assist. The more you score and assist, the more you earn. If you don't contribute, you won't even feel good about this base salary! Brother Nan, sign this pig quickly, or he might be snatched by another club."

This... Women have their periods once a month, can you be careless? Do you use toilet paper instead of sanitary pads? Liu Hao glared, feeling very unhappy.

"Haha, Yuxin is straightforward. Let's have lunch first, and sign the contract in the afternoon." Zhang Nan laughed heartily, very satisfied with the result. This was the most satisfying contract he had ever signed, smooth...

Professional players have different levels. Signing a high-level player naturally takes more effort and time, sometimes spanning a whole year. But low-level players, although cheap, aren't signed so easily.

For someone like Liu Hao, it took less than ten sentences to reach an agreement, like a rocket.

Just like that, he was sold by a moody Lai Yuxin...

"Eight戒, the fame of Marshal Tianpeng is not exaggerated. When the time comes, your advertising fees will fall like snowflakes." Lai Yuxin lightly patted Liu Hao's shoulder, and with her other hand, she waved in the air, as if the money was really falling.

These words were quite tempting, "Not just any cat or dog can get such an opportunity. If you become famous, pig feed and piglet milk powder ads will be no problem..."

... Was this too shocking? Even Zhang Nan couldn't bear to listen, how much would it hurt Liu Xiaopang's self-esteem.

Liu Hao was tempted, but Lai Yuxin's latter words completely extinguished his fantasies.

But if he really became famous, such ads might indeed become a reality. His identity was quite fitting, and although Lai Yuxin's words were hurtful, they were tailored for him.

"Hehe, would I let my player lose money? I'll open a small column in the Sports Weekly, specifically to tell your story. This is a small but significant idea. I've even thought of a title, 'The Crazy Career of a Middle-aged Man.' I'll start the serialization on Women's Day, which is also the first day you join the China League Two! I'll make you the god of Chinese football!"

...

Was this just boasting?

※※※※

Liu Hao's first contract was signed like this...

Looking back, Liu Hao felt something was off.

Isn't a contract with a club signed with the chairman or at least a manager? How could it be signed with the head coach?

This is the Chinese Super League, not the English Premier League. The head coach of the Chinese Super League doesn't have the right to sign players, and the head coach of the China League Two has even less power.

If it weren't for the club's seal on the contract, he would have suspected Zhang Nan of cheating him.

As soon as Zhang Nan left, Lai Yuxin happily put the contract in her briefcase, stuffed it into the innermost layer, and patted the bag contentedly, sighing:

"Ah, finally completed the first contract, it's so fulfilling..."

"Sure, you sold me like a piglet without even letting me think!" Liu Hao pouted. This contract meant he would have to travel to Qingdao almost every week, and fly around for away games...

How would he explain this to his wife? He couldn't be on business trips every weekend, right?

Thinking about it made his head hurt; it was impossible.

Just then, Lai Yuxin's phone rang.

She saw it was Yu Genwei and quickly answered.

"Yuxin, I talked to an old friend this afternoon, and he's very interested in your player! Do you want to come to the training ground tomorrow morning?"

"Which club?" Lai Yuxin's eyes lit up, and she asked hurriedly.

Liu Hao's ears perked up; another club was interested?

"Zhao Junzhe, he seems to know Liu Xiaopang. I heard even Coach Ma recommended him..."

Damn! Liu Hao was flustered; he could actually stir up those guys? Was it real...

"Brother Wei, which club is it? Get to the point, quickly!" Lai Yuxin was also anxious.

The sports news the day before said that Zhao Junzhe would return to Liaoning Hongyuan, so...

"Damn Xiao Ze Maria!!!" Lai Yuxin cursed and hung up, furious.

It was all her fault for being too hasty, missing out on Xiao Ze, missing out on Liaoning Hongyuan, and missing out on the Chinese Super League...

"Stupid!" Liu Hao rolled his eyes, too tired to comment. It was true that a Chinese Super League team had invited him.

However, the deal was done, and he couldn't break the contract.

They could only go to the China League Two to make money.

"It's fine, it's fine... You're still young, you have to take it step by step. Playing in the Chinese Super League for the first time is very stressful, and you might not even get a substitute spot. Besides, isn't Northeast China too cold? Qingdao is great, with many beautiful women..."

"True, I'm only thirty, young enough..." He could only comfort himself like this.
