Chapter 891 Su Dong's Manchester City Feast

Wilmslow, Cheshire.

As night fell, the eastern suburbs of the town were bustling with activity.

The road to and from the dual carriageway became so congested that the town's police station had to arrange for officers to arrive at the corner of the intersection early to remind all passing vehicles to detour.

"Excuse me, traffic is prohibited ahead tonight, can you please take a detour?"

A policeman knocked on the window next to a Mercedes and asked.

Although he was asking, his tone was more like a reminder, or even a request.

"We are going to the party, sir." The driver lowered the window and said to the policeman.

"Do you have an invitation letter?" The policeman stared at the distance, not paying attention to the driver in the car.

"It's me, Mr. Police." The driver reminded again.

The policeman turned his head and saw the blind spot in the car, and was immediately surprised.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Vincent, there are too many people tonight, we can't handle it."

After speaking, the police immediately shouted at the colleague who had set up a roadblock not far away, signaling to let them go quickly.

"Hey, Vincent, is the person sitting next to you and behind you a new player from our team?" the policeman asked with a smile.

His eyes were sharp, and he saw the passengers sitting in the front passenger seat and the rear seat through the filmed window.

"Yes, that's right," Kompany laughed.

"OK! Everyone must work hard in the new season! Try to get a Champions League back!"

The policeman saluted, patted the roof of the car, and signaled to pass quickly, he was going to check the next car.

……

After the Mercedes-Benz passed the roadblock, it headed east along the town trail.

"Is the battle so big? Even the police were alerted?" Hazard sat in the middle of the back row, so he could easily see the situation in front of him through the gap of the front seat.

There are people everywhere along the way, very lively.

"There was no such a big battle before, and I don't know what happened tonight." Kompany complained.

If there are too many people, the car will not be able to drive fast.

The distance that was originally reached in an instant, now has to be climbed slowly.

When they arrived at their destination, everyone was dumbfounded again.

Hey, I thought there were a lot of people on the road just now, but when I came to the door, I found that there were more people, and all of them were equipped with long guns and short guns, and some even deployed drones.

"Hey, Vincent." Someone knocked on the window next to him.

Kompany found out that it was a staff member of Manchester City, immediately lowered the window and greeted him immediately.

"What's going on?" Kompany was surprised.

"The reporters did not know where they got the news, and they all gathered around. Dozens of media outlets and more than 100 reporters came to the scene, and the number is still increasing. Therefore, we can only come here temporarily for reinforcements."

Kompany, Courtois and Hazard in the car were all surprised.

This is simply a big battle!
"That car..." Kompany asked with some difficulty.

"Leave it to me, I'll stop to the front, you go in first."

As soon as the driver finished speaking, he saw the distressed expressions on the faces of the three of them, and immediately understood.

There were too many media reporters on the scene, and they were afraid that they would be blocked as soon as they got out of the car.

"Don't worry, Su came out just now and made an agreement with them. They can take pictures and interviews, but they must respect the wishes of the players. In addition, they must not affect the party, so drones are not allowed, and they will not block them."

Sure enough, not far away, the drone that had just been released was taken back under the reminder of the on-site staff.

After a pause, the staff member couldn't help laughing, "Su has already asked someone to arrange it temporarily, and plans to set up a dozen or twenty tables of banquets at the entrance to entertain these media reporters. People from the club's public relations department have also come."

The three of Kompany were all stunned when they heard it. Rao Kompany was the vice-captain of Manchester City, but when did he experience such a battle?
This is more than 100 reporters!
But for the people in the club, they still trust them.

The three of Kompany opened their car doors, and there was a burst of snapping pictures around them.

All the reporters' long guns and short cannons were aimed at them, and some reporters were even broadcasting live.

Kompany looked at Courtois in formal attire, Hazard in casual attire, and finally saw himself in sportswear. He suddenly regretted it. Why didn't he think about going home and changing?
After scratching his bald head, Kompany had no choice but to bite the bullet and go in.

"Hey, Vincent, can I interview you with a few questions?"

"Stop and answer a few questions for us, okay?"

"Hazard, may I ask what made you decide to join Manchester City?"

"Courtois, they all said that you are going to challenge Joe Hart for the main position. Is it true? Are you confident?"

A group of reporters kept asking questions, but no one really went to block the way.

This made the three of them settle down a bit, and quickly stepped up to enter the door.

……

As soon as I entered the gate, I felt suddenly enlightened.

It's really big inside!

It's not the first time for Kompany to come, but every time he feels amazing, and Hazard, who came for the first time, is even more dumbfounded.

The whole estate is simply dreamlike!
"This is designed and built by a very famous German designer. In just one year, it has won many authoritative architectural awards. It can be called one of the top mansions in Wilmslow, no, in Cheshire, or even in the whole of England."

Although Courtois and Hazard don't own their own mansions, they know some of them.

For such a mansion, the competition is not only for hardware, but also for software.

Su Dong received the guests not far from the entrance, and as soon as he saw the three of Kompany coming in, he immediately greeted them.

"Hello, Vincent."

Su Dong stretched out his hand far away, and after shaking Kompany, the two embraced warmly.

"Thibault." Su Dong hugged Courtois again.

When it was Azar's turn, Su Dong shook hands with him first, called his name, and said, "Eden, let's talk on the phone." Then, Su Dong leaned over and hugged Azar.

This is the first time Hazard has come into contact with Su Dong so closely, and he feels flattered.

In fact, as early as when he decided to join Manchester City, Hazard had a phone conversation with Zidane and asked a lot about Su Dong. Zidane and Su Dong also had a very good relationship.

"I'm sorry, I originally planned to hold a private party, but when the outside media reporters got the news, they all rushed over, and it ended up like this." Su Dong expressed his apology.

This is not the first time Manchester City have dinner at Sudong's estate.

In the past year, Manchester City had dinner at Sudong Manor many times. At the beginning, not many people paid attention to it, but gradually some media reporters also came to take pictures, but it was the first time that there were so many like now.

"I think it's because of you." Su Dong patted Hazard on the shoulder with a smile and said with admiration.

The implication is that this group of media reporters are all chasing the new players.

Both Hazard and Courtois were quite disappointed by Su Dong's words.

Who doesn't like to be praised by others, especially to be praised face to face by the world's number one superstar, isn't it an honor?

……

Su Dong couldn't entertain them for too long, indicating that they could do whatever they wanted.

The huge manor was arranged as a gathering place, and all the guests received were Manchester City's players, coaching staff and important employees.

It is said that including Chairman Mubarak, General Manager Soriano, Technical Director Begiristain, and Coach Guardiola, etc., will all be invited to participate.

Although it was held by Su Dong personally, this is actually an official gathering before Manchester City's new season training camp.

Kompany took two Belgian compatriots to visit the manor, which made Courtois and Hazard marvel at the dream of the manor, and at the same time expressed Su Dong's intentions for this party.

There is an area dedicated to entertaining female relatives, which is received by Su Dong's fiancée Wang Chuqing, who is a very beautiful oriental beauty, and is said to be a Ph.D. from Oxford University Law School.

There is also a children's play area, which has a lot of children's amusement facilities, such as clowns playing with children, a thrilling circus, and a magician specially invited by Su Dong from China to perform. The wonderful performances made the guests and children screaming.

In addition, Su Dong specially invited famous British bands to hold concerts on the spot.

It can be said that in order to entertain Manchester City's teammates well, Su Dong also took great pains.

"In the past, our party treatment was not as high-standard as it is today, but it is also very good. For example, the chefs are definitely hired from London and other places, and some of them are Michelin three-star chefs." Kompany said with a smile.

It can be seen that the Belgian central defender is very satisfied with Su Dong's reception in the past.

Both Courtois and Hazard were amazed.

It is not that they have not participated in team dinners in Genk and Ligue [-] Lille before, but that is at best a meal. When will there be such a big battle like now?
"It costs a lot of money to hold such a party?" Hazard asked distressedly.

Kompany nodded, "Hundreds of thousands of pounds, even seven figures."

"So many? All from Su Dong himself?" Azar couldn't believe it.

"In the early days, the club wanted to reimburse him, but he refused. Sometimes during dinners, he would give us gifts, such as mobile phones, tablets, laptops, game consoles, or razors, all of which are high-end goods."

As he said that, Kompany took out the latest iPhone from his pocket and waved it in front of the two national team teammates. "This phone was given by Su Dong during the Christmas dinner last year. The whole team, including the coaching staff and employees, each has one."

Both Courtois and Hazard were dumbfounded.

Nima, this is too rich, right?

But when they thought about Su Dong's annual salary and income, they all felt that poverty limited their imagination.

With Su Dong's height, is money important to him?

Look at Kompany and you will know that through this method, Kompany admires Su Dong to the extreme. It is conceivable how high Su Dong is in the Manchester City locker room.

Isn't this more important than money?
Thinking of this, both Courtois and Hazard feel that they should study carefully their position in Manchester City's locker room and tactical map.

Especially the relationship with Su Dong.
