A middle-aged man dressed elegantly, sitting in a street stall eating a late-night snack, holding a cigar in his hand, with two n in suits standing behind him. This setup looks like so important bigwig making an appearance, but such a noble figure is eating a late-night snack in this shabby street stall, which seems to not quite match his status, creating a sense of discord, attracting the side glances of people around.
The middle-aged man gnawed on a chicken leg and looked at the Rolex watch worth over ten thousand: "Why hasn't Old Wu co yet? Those two good-for-nothings, asking them to find soone is this difficult?"
"Here, he's coming!"
At this, the two burly n trotted over.
The middle-aged man glanced up and saw one of the burly n had a swollen face, frowning: "What happened to your face, swollen like a pig head?"
The burly man covered his face, smiling wryly: "Well... I was careless while walking and fell, causing the swelling."
The middle-aged man looked speechless: "Damn, you could fall while walking, how useless are you. Where's Old Wu himself then?"
Wu Da limped over, saying: "Sorry, my legs aren't functioning well, so I walked slowly."
When the middle-aged man saw Wu Da, he imdiately stood up and laughed heartily: "Hahaha... Old Wu, you finally ca, long ti no see, didn't expect it, we brothers still have a chance to et, eh, is your leg better? Isn't it very uncomfortable to walk with a limp? I find it quite amusing, hahaha..."
Hearing this, everyone around frowned; why is this person so bad at speaking?
Wu Da chuckled: "Thanks for the concern, I was wondering who would call out at night, turns out it's you, I wonder why you called over?"
The middle-aged man said: "Co sit down first, rember this street stall? It's been here for decades, we used to love coming here to eat, rember? The barbecue here is damn good; I specially ordered the grilled chicken leg you like."
Saying this, the middle-aged man gestured to invite him.
Wu Da walked over and sat opposite the middle-aged man, with a cold attitude: "What the hell did you call here for?"
The middle-aged man sat down and said: "Eat first, let tell you, decades have passed, and the taste is still the sa. Rember how after training, the happiest thing for us was coming here and grabbing two bottles of beer, drinking straight from the bottle. Do you rember? Once you drank too much and couldn't walk, I carried you three miles back to the dormitory."
Wu Da didn't move, looking coldly at the middle-aged man, as if wanting to see what kind of act he was putting on.
The middle-aged man kept talking: "Thinking back, we were teenagers then, truly the youthful greens days, in the blink of an eye, decades have gone by. Rember what we said back then? We are good brothers, sharing blessings and hardships. By accident, our lives had different encounters, and those words are long forgotten. I thought, with your leg crippled, you would have nothing to do with football, but little did I know, one day, we would et again because of football."
Wu Da said: "Mr. Jin, what are you trying to say? Just say it directly. I have to lead a team training tomorrow; I don't have ti to reminisce with you."
"Hahaha..." The middle-aged man laughed, "Old Wu, you're as impatient as ever. I've told you, don't be so impatient. You see, it was because of your impatient personality that your career got ruined. A once genius footballer, what a pity!"
Wu Da stood up: "If you continue with this nonsense, I won't stay."
Wu Da turned to leave.
The middle-aged man's smile suddenly disappeared: "Hold on! I know you're now the head coach of the Yun City Team, do you know my current identity?"
Wu Da said: "I know, Hang City Fuli Team's owner Jin Jiufu, who doesn't know that!"
The middle-aged man said: "Since you know my current identity, then you should be aware that the Huaxia Football Super League is about to start, and we'll soon be facing off. I've sought you out to convey that there's no way you'll win against ; if you're sensible, you'll resign as head coach, to avoid harming the friendship between us two old friends."
Wu Da chuckled: "Since you feel I won't win against you, why did you call here? You needn't waste your Big Boss's ti. You called because you fear I might win against you, didn't you?"
The middle-aged man laughed heartily: "Hahaha... how amusing, you actually think I would fear you. I called you here rely to see an old friend, who hasn't t for many years, don't overthink it."
Wu Da said: "What if I don't resign?"
The middle-aged man said: "Old Wu, why bother, look at yourself now, what do you look like? If soone says you're a beggar, no one would doubt it. You broke your leg at seventeen and couldn't play anymore, far from the professional arena. How can you fight ? You think you're still that genius? You're just an old useless fool, recognizing oneself is more important than anything else, isn't it? I'm trying to persuade you as an old friend with good intentions."
Wu Da was taunted by the other repeatedly; even with great patience, he beca angry and said sternly: "Jin Jiufu, stop faking pity like a cat crying for a dead mouse here. All your nonsense is ultimately because you fear winning against you. Rest assured, I will definitely beat you, and I will certainly win against you. Just wait and see, I once overshadowed you, now I still will overshadow you! You'll always live in my shadow!"
These words stung Jin Jiufu's ears terribly.
Bam!
Jin Jiufu slamd the table and jumped up, pointing at Wu Da's nose.
"Wu Da, you damn cripple, you think you're still your old self? Now you're just an old waste, good for nothing. Dare to fight ?" Jin Jiufu shouted angrily.
Wu Da said: "I think you're the absolute waste! Sorry, I'm not interested in talking nonsense with you, goodbye!"
While they were talking, Lin Fan and Wei Yue'er had already slipped into the street stall unnoticed, seated next door watching them.
The two exchanged glances, wondering what was going on; the atmosphere was very tense between Wu Da and this Jin Jiufu.
"Jin Jiufu is the owner of Hang City Fuli Team. The Hang City Fuli Team is also a Xia Chao team, quite strong, achieved top four last year. Unexpectedly, after knowing Old Wu is the head coach of the Yun City Team, he ca specifically to find Old Wu, obviously he is really concerned about Old Wu," muttered Lin Fan.
Wei Yue'er said: "I know the Hang City Fuli Team; we have many fans in Hang City, but this is the first ti I've seen the owner of Fuli Team. I wonder what the past relationship between him and Wu Da was?"
Lin Fan said: "Probably teammates."
At this point, Wu Da was ready to leave.
"Na a price!" Jin Jiufu suddenly said, grinning at Wu Da, "I have loads of money, enough for you to spend the rest of your life in peace, how about it? Fighting with won't end well for you!"
