Chinese champion

Chapter 190

"Chairman Yan, Chairman Yan!" Zhu Pingyuan ran into Yan Wenqiang's office in a panic: "Are you watching TV? Look, something big has happened!"

Yan Wenqiang raised his head impatiently, and said in his usual majestic manner: "What are you panicking about? Could the sky fall down? It's a big fuss."

Zhu Pingyuan couldn't care less about being respectful, he turned on the TV in the chairman's office: "The sky is about to fall! That kid Ou Yong put everything down!"

"Ah!" Yan Wenqiang collapsed on the chair all of a sudden.

"How could this happen?" Watching Ou Yong talking on TV with a face full of indignation, and the tape recorder next to him was still playing the content of his conversation with Zhu Pingyuan and Shen Zhi, Yan Wenqiang lost his ability to adapt for a while.

"What did he say?" Yan Wenqiang asked.

"In order to catch up with He Jin, we let him play against Syria..."

"What does he say?" Yan Wenqiang forced himself to be calm: "There is no evidence, we can sue him for defamation!"

"But that kid was careful at the time. He recorded the conversation between Shen Zhi and him, as well as our conversation with Shen Zhi! Now it's being played at the press conference! We're done..." Zhu Pingyuan murmured muttered.

"What?" Yan Wenqiang was completely stunned. He seemed to have seen the end of his political life...

"What should we do? Chairman?" Zhu Pingyuan asked anxiously.

Yan Wenqiang was about to say something when the door of the office was suddenly pushed open.

Yan Wenqiang and Zhu Pingyuan looked up, but saw three middle-aged men in uniforms walking in.

The mature and steady man in his forties in the center took out his ID: "Chairman Yan Wenqiang? I am Zhu Ming, the prosecutor of the Municipal Procuratorate. According to the report, the financial management within your football association is chaotic. I will cooperate with these two comrades from the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to conduct a series of reviews of the Football Association's finances from now on, and I hope you can cooperate."

Yan Wenqiang opened his mouth wide and stared blankly at Zhu Ming, while Zhu Pingyuan next to him reacted even more unbearably, with a pale face and trembling lips.

Zhu Ming coughed, and Yan Wenqiang came back to his senses, with a smile uglier than crying: "Okay...Okay, we will cooperate, definitely."

Zhu Ming took a deep look at him, with an inscrutable smile on his face.

****************************************
"Tap, tap, tap..." Fang Yatao sat in his office, tapping rhythmically with his hands on the desk.

Everything is going smoothly. The strong judicial intervention of the Supreme Procuratorate and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection has almost disrupted the old order of the Football Association. With the deepening of the investigation, many problems have been exposed.

Among the five executive vice-chairmen, two have problems of one kind or another. It seems that after the storm has passed, except for himself, Zhang Long who is in charge of AFC affairs, and Xue Ying who is in charge of women's football, the other vice-chairmen I'm afraid there will be a newcomer in the position.

Fang Yatao raised his head and looked out the window. It was dark now, and the Football Association compound was quiet, not as loud as before when it was still crowded after 12 o'clock in the evening.Thinking of this, Fang Yatao wanted to laugh. People who don't know how dedicated the Football Association's office is, and often work overtime. It's all here to do foreign work!
"Duk, duk." The knock on the door suddenly sounded, it seemed so loud in this quiet night, Fang Yatao was stunned for a moment, he couldn't imagine who else would be here at this time: "Please come in!"

The door was pushed open, Zhang Long walked in, Fang Yatao stood up hurriedly: "Chairman Zhang, please sit down, it's so late and you haven't gone back yet?"

"Aren't you the same?" Zhang Long said as he sat down: "Are you thinking about something important?" He said in a teasing tone.

"What's the big deal?" Fang Yatao poured tea for Zhang Long, and refilled the cup in front of him that had already bottomed out: "It's fine when you go home, just sit here and rest."

Fang Yatao took out a cigarette and handed Zhang Long one. Zhang Long took it, declined the lighter Fang Yatao handed over, took one out of his pocket, lit it for himself, and took a deep breath.

Fang Yatao also lit for himself. He looked at Zhang Long, and he knew that Zhang Long came to him at this time, definitely not to smoke.

"Chairman Fang is good at it." Zhang Long exhaled a puff of smoke, and said slowly: "The external connection Xiangyu Group collected evidence in the league, the internal connection Ou Yonglai revealed the inside story of the Olympic Games, and reported to the judiciary... With such a three-pronged approach, are you afraid that Yan Wenqiang will not fall?"

Fang Yatao narrowed his eyes and looked into Zhang Long's eyes through the smoke, as if he wanted to see something from Zhang Long's eyes.

Zhang Long looked at him calmly, and Fang Yatao suddenly smiled: "Why do you think I did it?"

"Butancheng, you." Zhang Long smiled: "Besides you, who else in the Football Association has such a scheming plan? Who else can find Xiangyu Group through Zhu Jun? Besides, since Yan Wenqiang took office in the past five years, do It is indeed too much. Ximen Yong and Yang Mingfeng Jian are short-sighted and only know how to use the power in their hands to seek personal benefits. It may not be a good thing for the Football Association if you do this, but...you must prevent overcorrection. "

"I know that Chairman Zhang has always been thinking about the Football Association wholeheartedly. You have been running on the AFC side, and you rarely intervene in the affairs of the Football Association because you can't understand what Yan Wenqiang and the others are doing." Fang Yatao said sincerely: " If you have any suggestions, please speak up."

"I know that you want to replace Yan Wenqiang. I have no objection to this, because after this incident, the Football Association needs a person like you who can stabilize the situation to sit in charge, and your achievements in youth competitions also make You have enough prestige, and I will fully support you, but there is only one request..." Zhang Long paused: "I hope you can think more about Yan Wenqiang, he is not a bad person, but he is a little too powerful."

"I don't care what I say." Fang Yatao said: "If the investigation reveals that he really has a problem, no one can help him."

"He should be fine. He shouldn't have any corruption and bribery incidents. At most, it can be regarded as dereliction of duty. After all, he is the first president of the Football Association who led Chinese football into the World Cup. If he is criminally punished...then the face of the Chinese Football Association There will really be nothing left!"

Fang Yatao pondered for a while before saying decisively: "I will speak on behalf of the Football Association...but I can only promise that I will try my best."

"That's enough." Zhang Long stood up and drank the cup of hot tea in one gulp: "Thank you for the tea, I'm leaving."

Fang Yatao got up to see him off, and when he walked to the gate, Zhang Long suddenly turned around and said, "That Zhu Ming is your old friend, right? Hehe, your relationship is really good...Okay, stay, stay, I'm going back."

Fang Yatao's fingers stopped in the air until Zhang Long's back disappeared under the night, then he shook his head and gave a wry smile:
"This old fox is really well informed."

Fang Yatao, who returned to the office, immediately took out his mobile phone and made a call.

"Old Zhu? I am Fang Yatao."

"What's the matter? Old Fang, the finances of your Football Association are really messed up. We checked for three days, and the amount that we can't find has exceeded 100 million." Zhu Ming's voice came from the other end.

"It's expected." Fang Yatao said lightly, "By the way, I want to ask you, is Yan Wenqiang involved in these financial issues?"

"Well, it's very strange, almost nothing to do with him." Zhu Ming frowned and said: "It's mainly related to Yang Ming of your referee committee, but Yan Wenqiang, as the actual highest person in charge of the Football Association, even if There is nothing wrong with him, but he doesn't even know about such a big incident with his subordinates, and dereliction of duty is the minimum."

"Probably...what kind of treatment will it have?" Fang Yatao asked tentatively.

"It's not clear yet. It depends on the situation. If it is serious, you may be expelled from public office and party membership. If you find that there are still financial problems later, you will be investigated for criminal responsibility." Zhu Ming hesitated, but still answered his question. .

"Oh, I see, thank you."

"What's going on?" Zhu Ming asked: "Why are you asking this all of a sudden? Although this is not a question that made me make a mistake, I should not say it out of suspicion."

"I know, thank you, Lao Zhu, I just thought, if Yan Wenqiang has no financial problems, let's deal with it internally, and don't expand the influence." Fang Yatao said.

"This... what you said is also reasonable, but we have to wait until we finish the investigation. Let's talk about it if there is nothing else. I still have something to do."

"Goodbye."

****************************
Yan Wenqiang packed up his things and looked at the office where he had been staying for five years.

The smugness when I first came here, the high spirits when I qualified for the World Cup, and the ambition of overtime in planning... But now, I can only leave alone like this...

The investigation is over. Due to the seriousness of bribery, Yang Ming was not only expelled from public office and party membership, but also sentenced to ten years in prison. Ximen Yong was dismissed from public office. Feng Jian and Zhu Pingyuan received a major administrative punishment. Under Fang Yatao's statement on behalf of the Football Association, he only remembered it once, but... what face do I have to stay in the Football Association?

Maybe a transfer at the same level is the most ideal ending for me...

Coming to the Football Association by myself was a mistake from the very beginning. This is not the place for a layman like me to come. If a layman directs an expert, he will only get busier the more he directs.

Fang Yatao and Zhang Long have always opposed themselves at work, while Yang Ming, Ximenyong and others followed him, just wanting to use their mistakes in command to gain benefits for themselves.

"So I'm such a failure? Not only do I have enemies, but I don't even have any friends! In the end, I still have to rely on Fang Yatao to help me!"

Yan Wenqiang shouted silently, he opened his mouth wide to laugh, but couldn't laugh out loud.

The door was quietly pushed open, Yan Wenqiang turned around, just in time to see Fang Yatao walking in slowly.

"Did you come to see my joke?" Yan Wenqiang stabilized his emotions. Although Fang Yatao helped him in the end, Yan Wenqiang's self-esteem still did not allow him to bow his head in front of Fang Yatao.

"If I really want to read your jokes, I won't intercede for you!" Fang Yatao sighed: "Is there any personal hatred between the two of us that cannot be resolved?"

Yan Wenqiang stood numbly for a while, then shook his head: "No, it's just a disagreement on work."

"Then won't you invite me to sit down? This is not the way of hospitality."

"Now I'm the guest!" Although Yan Wenqiang said so, he still pulled two chairs over, and the two former enemies sat face to face.

"What are you going to do with the Football Association?" Yan Wenqiang asked suddenly. He was really curious. He wanted to know how Fang Yatao planned to rectify the current mess of the Football Association.

"Rectify personnel first, the most important thing is the upcoming league." Fang Yatao gave him an unexpected answer: "Resume relegation, put an end to match-fixing black whistle, and hire a group of management majors and market development majors talents, and make better plans for league development.”

Yan Wenqiang was stunned for a moment: "Why not the Olympics? How can I say it is a grand event every four years!"

"Oh, you still haven't figured it out." Fang Yatao sighed: "Whether a country's football level improves does not depend on whether he can enter the World Cup, but on the level of his league. How many excellent players have been recruited. It is true that China reached the finals of the World Cup in 2002, but so what? Could it be that the level of our Chinese football has risen to a higher level after that competition? That's the root."

"I haven't won an Asian championship, I don't have the function of continuously sending fresh blood to the national team, and I don't have a club that can take care of itself. So far, less than five players have been sent to high-level leagues (Pei Wei and seven of them are young players. How can a second-tier league cultivate a first-class national team? Without a foundation, how tall can you expect to build a building?"

"It seems that I was really wrong." Yan Wenqiang lowered his head dejectedly: "My mistake is that I didn't listen to your opinion seriously from the beginning, but went my own way instead." He stood up: "It's almost dawn , I’m leaving too, and I hope I can see the Football Association go to glory under your leadership.”

Fang Yatao stood up silently, looking at the back of Yan Wenqiang going away.

A ray of sunlight in the morning shone on his face, causing him to squint his eyes.

"It's dawn..." Fang Yatao sighed.

What about the sky of Chinese football?Have you also passed the darkest moment before dawn and ushered in the dawn?
