Chapter 56 Letter from China
第一阶段的转会工作也告一段落，400万英镑最后刚刚好。陈准对此感到很自豪，把钱真正的花在了刀刃上。陈准也期待在2005年1月1号等待着这9名球员的到来。

Both the British "Daily Mail" and the French "L'Equipe" reported on Chen Zhun's big purchase, but the titles were quite different. "Daily Mail" satirized Chen Zhun's idiotic behavior of trying to use small money to strengthen the team's strength with the title "a pile of broken copper and iron", while "Team Daily" praised Chen Zhun with "hope for the future". Zhun's unique vision, praised Chen Zhun for having a group of young guards who can conquer the Premier League in the future.

If it wasn't for Alice's initiative to call, Chen Zhun would have forgotten that he still has such a girlfriend who has only been with him for ten days.

"Hey, are you getting back together?" Chen Zhun still had a little fantasy about Alice, but as soon as Alice opened his mouth, Chen Zhun knew that their best relationship was just friends.

Alice didn't respond to his question, but said flatly and without a trace of emotion: "I have a letter from you here, and I put it in the mailbox at your door. I'm going to hang up."

"No, tonight, let's go out for dinner tonight. It's been a long time." Chen Zhun asked tentatively.

"No, I'm leaving England." Alice continued to speak in a flat tone, as if talking to a stranger.

Chen Zhun was quite surprised when he heard Alice's answer, and wondered why he left England so well.

"Leave England? Go there?" Chen Zhun continued to ask.

"I want to go to China."

"What, China! Where is China?" Chen Zhun was even more surprised, Alice was going to China.

"David, you bastard!" Alice suddenly scolded Chen Zhun, and then hung up the phone.

At this moment, when Chen Zhun was still thinking about why Alice was going to China, he suddenly heard Alice scolding him, and immediately returned from fantasy to reality.He hadn't recovered when he heard a beeping voice on the other end of the phone.When Chen Zhun called again, Alice's cell phone was already turned off.Chen Zhun didn't understand why Alice scolded him in the end.But the answer to this question may only be known when Alice comes back in the future.

After receiving Alice's call, Chen Zhun didn't want to watch the players' training anymore. After he handed over the training to Reid, he left the training base and returned home with an excuse.

Chen Zhun saw the letter on the letter box in front of the house, half of his body still dangling in the wind.Chen Zhun took it out to see that it was from China, and then looked at the address. Chen Zhun dropped the letter in shock. The address on the envelope was exactly Chen Zhun's home in his previous life, and the sender's signature on the envelope was Chen Zhun.

Chen Zhun said to himself: "This is impossible! This is impossible! This is impossible!" Although Chen Zhun did not open the envelope to read the contents, he knew who wrote the letter.This was written by David Winston. The frightening thing is that David Winston actually transmigrated into his own body. He never expected such a result before.

Chen Zhun's mood at the moment is like a hemp rope, he dare not pick up the letter on the ground, maybe tearing up the letter, his fate will change again, but if he doesn't tear up the letter, what should happen will never happen will not be late.Chen Zhun had thought about how to meet the real David Winston countless times, but that was just idle speculation.When this moment came, Chen Zhun still couldn't accept it, and was caught off guard.

But Chen Zhun still picked up the letter, and he decided to accept the blow of fate.

Trembling, Chen Zhun picked up the key to open the door, but after checking it several times in a row, it fell on the ground.Chen Zhun couldn't control his emotions anymore, he sat on the ground and yelled. Fortunately, today is Monday and the neighbors are all at work. This is big news.

After Chen Zhun finished calling, he knocked on the door, feeling a little more relaxed.Chen Zhun got up again and succeeded once again.When Chen Zhun entered his so-called home, he felt a sense of strangeness in his heart.

Chen Zhun slowly opened the envelope and took out the letter. The first thing that caught his eye was the familiar Chinese characters, which were his handwriting.

Hello, I don't know what to call you now, Chen Zhun or David Winston.I think you who are reading the letter will be surprised, and of course you will be terrified.This is also the feeling I had when I just time-traveled. When I was full of confidence and preparing for a big game in the Premier League, I found myself time-traveling into a 15-year-old Chinese boy.Your parents are very kind to me, they brought me the long-lost affection, I am very grateful to them.I don't know what happened in the UK, I don't know if David Winston still exists, I shut myself in the house every day, despair, helplessness, sadness invaded my heart every day.I once thought about suicide.Because I don't have any hope of being able to engage in the coaching career I aspire to in China, and I will do nothing here until I grow old.But there is an old saying in your motherland that no coincidence makes a book.

The Southampton-Chelsea game was broadcast in China, and it just so happened that your father watched it too.When I saw my passionate self on TV, I was not surprised or excited, but full of hope.I also believe that what is hidden in me is you, just like me.I decided to write this letter and try my luck.

Chen Zhun, don't worry.I am not writing this letter to steal your position, nor will I tell this matter to the public.I have seen your efforts and I firmly believe in your ability to bring Southampton to greatness.I firmly believe that God must have his reasons for doing so, and I obey God's will.I just hope you can bring me back to Southampton. Since I am a teenager now, I want to stand on the pitch again and contribute to Southampton as a player.To fulfill the dream that I couldn't achieve when I was young.By the way, I don't like the name Chen Zhun very much, so I decided to change it to my own name.

速回
Chen Zhun's first feeling after reading this letter was that he knew that David Winston was not hostile, and his mood suddenly brightened.I didn't expect that the crossing turned out to be like this, the exchange of souls and so on.Chen Zhun is now starting to dislike the time-travel novels he read in his previous life as untrue.If he retires in the future, he must write a masterpiece about football coaching based on his own experience. He has already chosen the title, and it will be called Song of the Saints. (Sorry, I used it first.)
Chen Zhun also quickly wrote back to David Winston.

Hello, according to your age, I should call you brother.There is nothing I can do about time travel, and I am very grateful for your understanding.When I saw your letter, I once chose to give up opening it. I was afraid that there was despair inside.But in the end I took it apart.The result is hope.I will go to China after the season to communicate with my parents and strive to bring you to the UK for training. I hope to convince my parents during this time.The only problem now is your nationality. Chinese players need a labor permit to enter the Premier League, so you are likely to rent out to foreign leagues for a period of time in the future.Hope you can understand.look forward to meeting you.

After Chen Zhun wrote the letter, he drove it to the post office. What he didn't know was that the moment his hand put the letter into the mailbox, the world changed.
