“Do I even need to ask? Claim it now!”
Lin Dong was thinking about how to quickly get the attribute upgrade times to restore Wang Chu’s body. This was like having a pillow delivered while he was napping.
《Ding!! Congratulations, host. You have successfully claimed the Newbie Gift Pack and gained attribute upgrade times x10 and an English Labour Certificate x1.》
“10 attribute upgrade times! That’s great!!”
Lin Dong couldn't help but get excited, wanting to restore Wang Chu’s body right away.
But!
Lin Dong immediately stopped himself. If he directly restored Wang Chu’s body, Wang Chu wouldn't know he did it. If he grew up in the future and terminated the contract with me, wouldn’t that be a huge loss?
“No! I can’t be hasty. The attribute upgrade times are here, so I might as well wait until tomorrow to go look for Wang Chu. I can restore his body under the pretense of special massage.”
“That way, Wang Chu will know my importance and even if he grows up, he won’t be able to easily terminate the contract with me.”
Lin Dong thought to himself secretly.
“System, what does the English Labour Certificate do?”
He then focused his attention on the English Labour Certificate.
《Ding! The English Labour Certificate can be used on any player under your command. After using it, they will immediately obtain an English Labour Certificate.》
The explanation was very simple and straightforward. After all, the English league is different from other leagues. To play professional football in England, you must obtain a Labour Certificate.
And it is very difficult for football players to obtain an English Labour Certificate.
Especially for Chinese football players, who ranked 96th in the world in 2013, they couldn't even pass the first condition for obtaining a Labour Certificate.
“Although I don’t need it now, it will be a lot more convenient in the future if my players can play in England.”
Lin Dong thought to himself.
Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Dong lay down to sleep peacefully.
However, Lin Dong did not know that while he was sleeping, major online football news platforms were suddenly bombarding the internet with news and smear campaigns against Wang Chu.
They were saying that Wang Chu was prone to injuries because he was out drinking in nightclubs abroad.
And that his ankle injury this time was because he was arrogant after winning the Luxembourg Cup and scoring in the Europa League.
As these reports fermented online, the entire internet was in an uproar.
...........................
The next day.
Around three or four in the morning, Lin Dong was awakened by a frantic ringing phone.
Seeing that it was Wang Chu calling, Lin Dong’s heart skipped a beat. He was worried that Wang Chu's condition had worsened. His heavy sleepiness immediately vanished.
“What’s wrong, Wang Chu?!”
“Dong Ge! Did you see the news online?”
Wang Chu’s urgent voice came through the phone.
Listening to his somewhat disordered breathing, it was clear that Wang Chu was very uneasy right now.
“Damn it!!”
Hearing this, Lin Dong immediately opened the domestic football news app with the fastest speed.
Sure enough, a large number of media outlets were smearing Wang Chu.
Under this terrifying online public opinion, netizens were going crazy, spewing their venom like a raging inferno.
“I remember this kid was the one who broke a Guinness World Record before, right?”
“I said he was always getting injured! It turns out he was out partying!”
“Serves him right!!”
“He’s a wasted talent! He has such great potential and he’s out partying all the time!”
“He's really betrayed the Sichuan Football Association’s training of him!”
“I thought his career was ruined by injuries, but it turns out he was just undisciplined.”
..............................
Lin Dong knew that Wang Chu would definitely retaliate since he had offended the Sichuan Football Association’s chairman.
But!
Lin Dong was surprised that he acted so quickly.
Lin Dong thought for a moment and decided to tell Wang Chu everything.
“Wang Chu! Actually, the online public opinion is all because of me. The Sichuan Football Association demanded that you receive conservative treatment, or even get a steroid injection so you could participate in the National Games. That would have ruined your career, so I refused!”
Lin Dong said in a deep voice. Although he didn't know if Wang Chu would blame him, he still decided to tell him.
“Dong Ge! Thank you!” However, after hearing this, Wang Chu calmed down and said gratefully, “I hate those guys too. They only care about their own interests and don't care about the players’ careers! Even if you had agreed with them, I would have refused!”
Hearing this, Lin Dong felt a surge of warmth in his heart and said excitedly, “Wang Chu! What if I told you I have a way to make you recover quickly and become a super genius again? Would you believe me?”
“I believe you, Dong Ge! When all the agents thought I was worthless, you were the one who encouraged me! You even told me to protect my ankle before I got injured! You’re different! I believe you, Dong Ge!”
Although Lin Dong was Wang Chu’s agent, he was also the person who stood by him and encouraged him when he was at his most desperate.
A small gift from afar shows great affection, and Lin Dong had even foreseen that he would injure his ankle.
Therefore, Wang Chu completely trusted Lin Dong’s words.
“Okay! I’ll fly to Luxembourg tomorrow. I’ll get you back to your peak! I’ll make you the super genius again, with the youthful spirit, a flamboyant appearance, and the spirit of a young warrior. You’ll become Wang Chu again and make a name for yourself abroad!”
Lin Dong was already eager to fly to Luxembourg.
But!
To prevent the public opinion from escalating further, Lin Dong still reminded him, “Wang Chu, don’t pay attention to the online public opinion now. Generally, this kind of online public opinion will automatically be forgotten by netizens after a few days.”
“What you need to do is get your condition back as soon as possible and get back in shape. As long as you perform well enough, those rumours will be debunked automatically!”
With the development of the internet, information dissemination has become extremely fast.
Therefore, after just one night of fermentation, everyone thought that Wang Chu was a undisciplined, alcoholic person.
But!
Because of this, if you just waited a few days, netizens would naturally forget about these rumours about Wang Chu.
Lin Dong had also thought about clearing up this matter.
But!
Thinking about it carefully, it wouldn’t help at all. If you don’t have any real skills to show, your explanation will just become a cover-up.
“Yes, yes, Dong Ge, I understand.”
Wang Chu, who had been labelled as a super genius since he was a child, naturally knew how to deal with this situation.
“But after this public opinion storm, it’s possible you won’t be able to play in the domestic league anymore. They might even stop you from joining the national team.”
Although the national team was criticized and ridiculed by everyone, the main reason why many people were angry with the national team was because they cared so much!
They were angry that they were not doing well and felt sorry for them!
No matter how poorly they perform, they are still the national team. The ultimate dream of any footballer is to wear the national team jersey and fight for their country.
Sure enough, hearing that he might not be able to join the national team in the future, Wang Chu became a little disappointed.
After a brief silence, Wang Chu spoke again:
“That’s fine. That way, I can focus more on improving my skills! And as long as I perform well enough, I believe they won’t really prevent me from joining the national team under the pressure from netizens.”
Wang Chu said with a smile.
Wang Chu was really very smart. He immediately figured out the key point of this situation.
After chatting for a while, Lin Dong hung up the phone.
Although it was only around five o'clock in the morning.
But!
After all this commotion, Lin Dong couldn’t sleep at all.
Lin Dong, who couldn't sleep, started planning for Wang Chu’s future.
After all!
Even if Wang Chu recovered, his ability wouldn't be very strong yet. Lin Dong had to find a way for Wang Chu to get enough playing time so that he could steadily improve himself.
Time flew by very quickly. It was soon afternoon, and Lin Dong boarded the plane to Luxembourg.
Lin Dong also had some thoughts about the Luxembourg National Division where Wang Chu was currently playing.
After all!
If Wang Chu’s body and potential recover, continuing to play in a league that is not high enough might not be the best way for him to grow.
It would be better if Wang Chu could return to the top five leagues, or even the second tier of the top five leagues.
But!
Wang Chu still had two years left on his contract with FC Esch. If FC Esch didn’t release him, things would get very complicated.
“Forget it, I'll wait until Wang Chu recovers before I think about it. After all, you can’t return to the top five leagues without strength.”
After thinking it through, Lin Dong stopped worrying. After all, Wang Chu’s body and skills hadn’t recovered yet. There was no point in talking about this now.
Soon!
The plane finally landed, and Lin Dong arrived in Luxembourg. He quickly went to Wang Chu’s house according to the address given by Wang Chu.
“Dong Ge, you’re finally here......”
