“Are you sure, Mr. Wei?”
Lin Dong’s tone suddenly turned cold: “You should know that the LuNeng Football School has been training Wei Shi Hao for free all this time. Are you really going to be this ruthless?”
“Can you really look at yourself in the mirror and say you have a clear conscience?”
Lin Dong had always thought that Wei Shi Hao had been tricked by his unscrupulous agent into betraying LuNeng Football School back then.
At this moment, Lin Dong had already made up his mind. If Wei Shi Hao and his father chose the same path as in his previous life, he would immediately give up on Wei Shi Hao.
After all!
Someone who could betray the football school that had nurtured him for years could easily betray anyone.
“Dad!! I’ll listen to Brother Dong! LuNeng Football School has been kind to me! Even if I want to go out on my own, I really want to get their permission!”
Wei Shi Hao’s firm voice suddenly came from the phone.
Hearing this, Lin Dong was immediately overjoyed. Surely a man like Wei Shi Hao, who could love one person through all the storms and tribulations for over a decade, couldn’t be a callous and ungrateful person?
It was only natural that his father would choose to betray LuNeng Football School. After all, the National Games were something that filled people with fear.
It was perfectly understandable that he wouldn’t want his son to get injured.
“Alright! I agree too.”
Hearing his son’s words, Wei Shi Hao’s father could only agree reluctantly.
He also felt that LuNeng Football School had indeed been kind to his son. He was just afraid of his son getting injured at the National Games.
“Don't worry, Wei Shi Hao won't get hurt.”
Lin Dong could hear the worry in Wei Shi Hao’s father’s voice and quickly reassured him.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Dong immediately called Miss Yang.
The call was answered quickly.
A voice with a hint of authority belonging to a middle-aged man came from the other side of the phone:
“You must be Mr. Lin?”
“？？？！！！”
Lin Dong was shocked. He glanced at the number he had dialed, confirming it was Miss Yang’s before he replied: “Who are you? Where is Miss Yang?”
“I am the Chairman of the Shandong Football Association. I’ve heard about Wei Shi Hao’s situation.”
“Chairman?”
Lin Dong was dumbfounded. How did he suddenly get the Chairman of the Shandong Football Association on the line?
“Don’t be nervous! I don’t want to get involved in your matter with the Sichuan Football Association. I know the reasons behind it. I have to say, you’re a good agent who truly puts your players first.”
The Chairman of the Shandong Football Association said approvingly.
“Thank you for the compliment, Chairman. I’m just doing what I should. After all, Wang Chu’s talent shouldn’t be wasted and his career should not end like this.”
Lin Dong, after his initial shock, quickly regained his composure.
“I wonder if Wei Shi Hao would be willing to represent our Shandong Football Association at the National Games?”
“The reason I contacted the Shandong Football Association is to tell you that Wei Shi Hao is willing to represent Shandong at the National Games. However, the summer transfer window is about to close, so I hope the Shandong Football Association can be lenient and let him try out first before coming back.”
“Whether he succeeds or fails, I promise Wei Shi Hao will definitely return to Shandong before the National Games start.”
This was the best solution Lin Dong could think of.
“No problem!”
The Chairman of the Shandong Football Association immediately agreed.
“By the way!” Lin Dong suddenly remembered something and said to the Chairman: “Chairman! Because Wei Shi Hao has been trained by the LuNeng Football School, but he wants to transfer to Europe, I’m afraid the school won’t agree. I hope you can communicate with LuNeng Football School about this.”
“No problem! I’ll handle this. I also want to see how far the player you’re kan hao can grow.”
The Chairman of the Shandong Football Association was very straightforward and immediately agreed.
After communicating with the Chairman of the Shandong Football Association, Lin Dong immediately informed Wei Shi Hao of the results of the conversation.
Time passed unnoticed, and it was already 11 pm.
However!
Lin Dong couldn’t relax yet. He still needed to contact Leicester City to secure a trial for Wei Shi Hao.
Lin Dong quickly dialed Leicester City Chairman Vichai’s number.
“You bloodsucker, what do you want?!”
As soon as the call was connected, an angry voice came from the phone.
“Hahaha!! My dear Mr. Vichai, don’t say that! You’ll make me sad.”
Lin Dong, hearing Vichai’s angry voice, immediately remembered his broken-down state during the negotiation.
“You bloodsucker, I regret signing that addendum with you!”
“In the first round of the Championship, Wang Chu had a hat-trick of assists. You know there are 46 rounds in the Championship! A mere 50 assists, I think I’m going to lose at least 500,000 pounds!”
When Vichai first signed the addendum with Lin Dong, he didn’t care at all.
But when he watched Wang Chu’s magnificent performance in the stands, a hat-trick of assists leading the team to victory, he felt happy and miserable at the same time.
“Shouldn’t you be happier with Wang Chu’s performance?”
“After all, Wang Chu joined for free! The better he performs, the more you can earn from his transfer fee in the future, wouldn’t you agree?”
Lin Dong didn’t believe Vichai was genuinely unhappy about Wang Chu’s performance.
“Hahaha!!! That's right, that's right!” Vichai immediately laughed happily.
“Alright, Mr. Vichai,” Lin Dong interrupted him after he finished laughing, and said seriously: “I have another promising Chinese forward here. He's only 18 years old. Are you interested?”
“An 18-year-old Chinese forward?” Vichai was shocked and hurriedly asked: “How good is he? How does he compare to Wang Chu?”
“He's only 18 years old now, so his ability is naturally weaker than Wang Chu's. As for the future, I can only say that his potential is no less than Wang Chu's! Moreover, his current ability is definitely good enough to be a substitute for Leicester City.”
Lin Dong said slowly.
“Potential is no less than Wang Chu’s! Already has the ability to be a substitute! He’s only 18!”
Vichai became increasingly surprised.
He also smelled the opportunity to make money.
After all, Lin Dong had just said that this player was a free agent, meaning he could get him for free.
As long as the player could make it into the professional league, he wouldn’t lose money no matter how he sold him.
Most importantly, Vichai was confident in Lin Dong’s ability.
“Bloodsucker! Bring him to Leicester City for a trial quickly! Take advantage of the summer transfer window not being closed yet!”
Vichai urged Lin Dong.
“Okay, you wait for my good news.”
After knowing Vichai’s thoughts, Lin Dong finally felt relieved.
Lin Dong immediately booked a flight to Shanghai.
He had finished his business in Shandong and needed to go to Shanghai.
