Xia Haoyang arrived at the training ground and coach Sui Dongliang gathered the entire team.

"Dear players, yesterday the Football Association announced the list of players involved in fake gambling and black market activities. I believe everyone has seen it." Xia Haoyang inspected the nearly 30 players in front of him.

"I have two points to make. First, in the anti-match-fixing and gambling activities led by the Ministry of Public Security in recent years, including the gambling blacklist released by the Football Association yesterday, our Guoan players and club staff are not on it. I am very pleased about this. Second, although our club has not been involved in such incidents before, we must also avoid such incidents in our team in the future. What I want to say is that once I know that there are players or staff involved in match-fixing and gambling activities, no matter who they are, I will never tolerate it and will expel them!"

At this point, Xia Haoyang had a serious expression and paused for a moment, but he said again in a firm tone: "But I will also do what I promised. At Guoan, starting from this season, no matter the first team or the youth team, there will be no wage arrears! Both wages and bonuses will be paid on time! Even if it is delayed for one day, Captain Zhang (team captain Zhang Jersey), you call me directly, you have my mobile phone number, and no reasons or explanations will be accepted. If wages are delayed, the relevant club managers will be fired!"

“Okay~~~”

Xia Haoyang's statement made the Guoan first-team players cheer.

If the players' income can be guaranteed, especially the star players in the team can get millions of salaries and bonuses, although it will be slightly lower than the Jin Yuan era, this income is still much higher than the average citizen income of Yancheng, so those main players will feel that it is not worth giving up such income for a fixed match. This can also be regarded as high salaries to maintain integrity.

If you blindly use high pressure, intimidation or morality to restrain players, but there is no mutual benefit, this will never be a good way to solve the problem. Why have Guoan players not fallen into gambling or match-fixing in recent years? Is it simply because Guoan players have higher quality?

In fact, although the Guoan team occasionally delays salary payments, they can still barely guarantee the payment of salaries and bonuses, so the players will not take risks.

After making the promise to the first team, Xia Haoyang returned to the office and convened a meeting of all management members of the club.

At the meeting, Xia Haoyang once again promised that he would never let the club's funds fall into trouble, so he required the club's management not to default on the players' salaries, and then to operate and manage the club normally in accordance with the requirements of the Football Association. And because no one at Guoan was involved in gambling and match-fixing, Xia Haoyang promised that all club members would stay, renew their contracts, increase their salaries, and ensure that they were paid on time.

It can be said that Xia Haoyang returned to the Guoan Club this time to reassure the club, whether it is the management or the players.

In an environment where the entire Chinese football environment is filled with distrust and insults, the Guoan Club is united and everyone is working together. Everyone cherishes this hard-earned "peace" and this is the role of money.

After having lunch in the club’s cafeteria, Xia Haoyang left the Guoan training base and returned to the company.

"Fatty, you're back? Is Guoan okay? I saw that the list of players involved in match-fixing and gambling released by the Football Association does not seem to include any players from your Guoan."

"Guoan is fine. Except for the first few players on the so-called list released by the Football Association, the problems of the others are not serious. The funds involved in many players are only tens of thousands of yuan." Xia Haoyang seemed to be more on the side of the players.

"How could it be only tens of thousands of yuan? This is what was found out. There must be some match-fixing incidents that have not been found out. The funds they embezzled or involved must be more than this."

Han Xiyu's attitude is more similar to that of the majority of fans. He believes that the players themselves are more responsible and that the funds they embezzle or gamble on football must be very high, so the reported data is inaccurate.

However, because Xia Haoyang understands the club's profits and income, the players' salaries, and the wage arrears of most Chinese clubs, he is more sympathetic to these players. When the entire society or the entire environment collapses, it is meaningless to blame a specific group of people for the collapse of rituals and music.

But Xia Haoyang didn't want to explain too much to Han Xiyu, "So, do you have nothing to do today?"

"How is that possible? A batch of experimental equipment arrived this afternoon. Lao Xie and I are going to receive them. I'm waiting for him. The trouble now is where to put these things. The school buildings and offices have not been built yet. There is no place to put many things now. It's a headache." Han Xiyu complained.

"Since the school building has not been built yet, why purchase these experimental equipment so early?" Xia Haoyang asked another question.

"These devices were ordered from foreign countries. Normally, they would arrive in a few months, but for some reason, the manufacturer shipped them to us first. So this batch of experimental equipment arrived at the customs ahead of time. We can't not pick them up." Han Xiyu said distressedly.

"Okay, you and Lao Xie can handle this matter. I don't know the specific situation of the school now, so I won't give blind orders and cause trouble for you. I'll go back to the office first." After saying hello to Han Xiyu, Xia Haoyang left the company's front desk.

Arriving at his own room, Xia Haoyang let out a long sigh, unzipped his down jacket, and turned on the cold air of the air conditioner.

Although the temperature in Yancheng in early April could occasionally reach around 20 degrees during the day and the heating was no longer on, it was still around zero degrees at night, so most people still wore down jackets.

Although Xia Haoyang is not as fat and afraid of heat as before, the sun is quite strong today and the sunshine is abundant. He feels a little hot when he returns to the office, so he turns on the air conditioner.

After enjoying the air conditioning for a while, Xia Haoyang returned to his seat, turned on his computer, and stared at the computer screen for a few minutes without moving. Then he sighed again, regained his focus from the daze, opened his notepad, and continued to write the outline of the script.

When meeting with the players at Guoan today, Xia Haoyang wanted to find an opportunity to talk to Cao Youmin alone.

One was to ask him whether he had settled down in Yancheng, and the second was to ask him what Suya was doing now.

But after careful consideration, Xia Haoyang gave up on talking to Cao Youmin and decided to let his return take its course.

Now, after spending a year in West Asia, Zhu Suya has returned to the music studio with which she signed a contract.

The work contract she signed with the studio was very casual. It did not require a certain number of records or singles to be released each year. But it only required Zhu Suya to release new records or singles in the next few years under the name of this studio. At the beginning, Xia Haoyang gave her five songs, and she released one song. Now Zhu Suya plans to produce a second single.
