matchstick heaven
Chapter 2
After signing the contract, Shen Qing and Zhou Chenshan took a day to get the certificate. Wearing white shirts of different prices, they took a wedding photo with no expression on their faces, and then watched the staff stamp it at the door.
In order to welcome a family reunion a few days later, Shen Qing needed to get acquainted with Zhou Chenshan as soon as possible, so she moved to Zhou Chenshan's small villa on the outskirts of the city to live together.But it is said that they live together, but in fact, it has been 3 days since he moved in, and the two have hardly met each other.
Shen Qing turned over on the bed.
His eyes fell on the light coffee-colored curtains. The curtains were so thick that no light leaked in. The dark room made him feel familiar, which gave him an inexplicable sense of security.
Shen Qing has coached in several clubs. As a coach, he usually stays in the training room.There are usually thick curtains drawn there to prevent too much light from blurring the screen.
In such an environment, he habitually thought about the latest training match.
Luna did not perform well, probably because he was affected by the recent bad news. After all, he was the first person to know about Brother Zhang’s capital chain problems, but it doesn’t matter, it can be adjusted later... The bigger problem is Little F, this version The most OP jungle hero, he doesn't know it, it will be a big hidden danger, but fortunately, young people can practice heroes faster...
"Om - hum -"
The vibrating sound of the phone interrupted his thoughts.
Shen Qing stretched out her hand to reach for the mobile phone on the bedside table: "Hello?"
"Mr. Shen, excuse me, my name is Zhong Yu, and I am Mr. Zhou's first secretary. He arranged for me to communicate with you about the next matters."
"Well, I heard him talk about it, you say."
"Okay, you need to go on a business trip with Mr. Zhou to attend the family banquet three days later. The schedule for the day is relatively tight. We plan to start preparations at 3:3 p.m. and depart on time at [-]:[-] p.m. at the Zhou's Building in Hangzhou. Many relatives of the Zhou family will be there, but you don't need to make any preparations, just follow Mr. Zhou."
"Ok."
"Mr. Zhou needs to discuss business that night, and we will arrange for you to rest in a separate room. Later, you and Mr. Zhou will go to the nursing home to visit Mr. Zhou, who is Mr. Zhou's grandfather. Of course, you don't have to worry too much about it." I'm too worried, Mr. Zhou is now... In short, it should just be a visit."
"it is good."
"In addition, the contract between Mr. Zhou and the Eagle club has also been signed. Afterwards, the Eagle game will carry the prefix of KUP, and the club's announcement will bring KUP products. There are no other changes. You can confirm with the club."
"Ok."
"Also, Mr. Zhou asked me to help you arrange a room at home so that you can use it at work. If you have any ideas about the layout of the room, you can tell me."
"I need a computer desk, a slightly better ergonomic chair, and... I need a computer, let me find the model..."
"Okay, is there anything else?"
"That's all for now."
"Okay, I will arrange it for you as soon as possible. One more thing, can you confirm the time for you to return to the club now?"
"No later than the 20th of this month, but I want to return to the base early."
"Ah, so you won't be at home for New Year's Day, will you?"
Shen Qing hesitated for a moment.
The Eagles are basically reorganized this year. The next German Cup on the 21st is a good opportunity to train the lineup. According to the original plan, after the German Cup is over, he hopes to review the results of the game while the iron is hot and prepare for the next spring game. .
But if you want to come back for New Year's Day...
"Does Mr. Zhou ask me to be at home?"
Secretary Zhong heard Shen Qing's subtext, and smiled kindly: "No, no, I'm just asking for your opinion, it's okay if you don't reply."
"Oh, well, then I'm not coming back."
"Understood, Mr. Zhou will go home early tonight, and plans to have dinner at home with you. If there is nothing else, I won't bother you."
"Okay, bye."
After hanging up the phone call, Shen Qing sat up from the bed.
There is no computer at hand these days, so he can't play ranked, but it doesn't affect his work.
Shen Qing quickly finished washing, finished the brunch prepared by her aunt, and began to watch a training video repeatedly on her tablet.
He has a notebook with a black leather cover, which is different from the one he used when he was on stage as a BP. It is densely written with small ideas for notes, and there are messy circle drawings.
When Zhou Chenshan came back, Shen Qing had written 8 pages.
The sound of Zhou Chenshan entering the door seemed to startle him. He looked at his phone, only to realize that it was already 5 pm.
He opened the door, walked down from the second floor, and greeted politely at the stairs: "President Zhou."
Zhou Chenshan nodded in response, then felt that something was wrong, and said, "Call me by my name in the future."
"……it is good."
Shen Qing felt a little embarrassed and couldn't speak out, but he had changed many teams and led many players, so he was very good at adapting to the new faces and names that came and went around him.He thought, next time he should be able to call it out.
"Auntie, is the meal ready?" Zhou Chenshan took off his tie with one hand and looked into the kitchen.
A gentle voice came from the kitchen: "Come on, you and Mr. Shen sit down for a while."
"Okay, no hurry."
At this time, Zhou Chenshan finally didn't look like a high-ranking Party A, Shen Qing was relieved, and pulled out the chair to sit down.Zhou Chenshan sat on his left.
A few home-cooked dishes were quickly brought to the table. The sweet and sour pork ribs were wrapped in a thick sauce, sprinkled with white sesame seeds, and the fried shrimp was full of fragrance. The golden coat was covered with red tails, and the fried asparagus looked delicious. Light and refreshing, there is also an old duck mushroom soup.
The famous president of the KUP country also eats human food in private.Shen Qing thought.
The two chatted casually while eating, and the atmosphere wasn't too stiff.
Mr. Zhou asked: "When will you have a competition next?"
"Let's go to the German Cup, the second game on the 22nd."
"Oh, come on. I read the profiles of several of your players that day, and they were all quite promising. Didn't you perform well in the previous game?"
Shen Qing knew that he was talking about the NEST that just ended a few days ago.
It is rare for many teams to come up with a one-team or semi-one-team lineup to play this year's NEST. Except for the two players in the bottom lane, the Eagles have just joined the other three positions this year. Naturally, they have to take this opportunity to practice coordination , so it was an all-team lineup. As a result, they stumbled out of the group stage and were beaten home in the first round of the knockout round.
NEST's defeat and team owner Zhang Renmin's capital chain had some problems recently, which directly caused Eagle to almost collapse and was forced to sell seats and players.
"Well, the coordination of the newly formed team hasn't improved yet, and the powerful heroes in the new version haven't been practiced well yet, so there's something wrong with them." Shen Qing explained, wondering if Mr. Zhou could understand.
Zhou Chenshan didn't intend to explore the details of the losing game. He didn't really care about the results of the team he invested in. He only cared about the benefits brought to him by this "marriage" in exchange for it.
"Did Zhong Yu tell you about the family banquet?"
"Well, I said it."
"The building in Hangzhou is the largest house of the Zhou family in China. This family banquet is very large, but we are just going to say hello, mainly to introduce you to a circle of people, and then I want to talk to my little uncle. It’s a business, and after you report to Grandpa, you can come back, and it shouldn’t affect your return to the team.”
Shen Qing nodded: "Okay."
"You eat very little."
"Ah? Uh...um." The topic seemed to change a bit too quickly, Shen Qing didn't react.
Mr. Zhou smiled. This time, his smile was not as cold as when we first met.
He said, "Let's have another bowl of soup."
"Oh well."
Shen Qing helplessly filled another bowl of old duck soup.
Zhou Chenshan commented: "In your line of work, you are either fat or skinny, not healthy at all."
Shen Qing nodded again in a daze: "Indeed."
"Can you dance?" The subject changed again.
"Uh... ah?"
Zhou Chenshan's smile became stronger, but the tone of the question was still quite serious: "Ballroom dancing."
"...No." How could he know such a thing.
"Forget it, it's not a big deal." Mr. Zhou closed the topic and started to ladle soup for himself.
Dining with a businessman never seems to be cold.
Soon, Mr. Zhou started the next topic: "When I first wanted to invest, I went to your office."
Shen Qing was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Is it the Loushanguan Road side?"
"Yes, I know that the training base for your players is at the Qiujing Villas. The one on Loushanguan Road should be the office, right?"
"Well, that's the headquarters of the Hawks over there."
"I saw you that day." Zhou Chenshan said.
"I go there sometimes."
"I saw you had a fight with your boss."
Shen Qing paused while drinking the soup.
"You have a pretty loud voice."
"..."
"As a coach, do you always quarrel with people like that?" Mr. Zhou was really curious.
Shen Qing looked like a typical gentle person, but that day in the CEO office of Eagle headquarters, Zhou Chenshan saw a Shen Qing who spoke harshly, had fierce eyes, and would slam the table with his fist.
He also heard some reviews about Shen Qing's reputation in the industry, which can be regarded as mixed.
Many people praised Shen Qing as the only coach with 7 championships in the current league. He has made outstanding achievements and is young.Shen Qing is 25 years old this year. At this age, he can even catch up with the last train of professional players.But the strange thing is that he has a very strong understanding of the game, and it is rumored that his operation is also good, but he never seems to want to play as a player.
Most of the critical voices also come from this.
According to the old news, Shen Qing used to be a passerby in the rankings. In the early days of the league's development, he was spotted by a wealthy team and directly signed a contract. He played as the starting jungler with the simple ID of "SQ".
But two days before he was due to play, he suddenly got cold feet.
After that, Shen Qing was punished by the team and the league respectively, and was suspended for one year.
Then he disappeared.
In the professional league personnel file that Zhou Chenshan saw, the next record was from 4 years later, Shen Qingyan used the simple ID of SQ, but changed his identity to "head coach".
The photo in the file was not taken very well, it made Shen Qing look more gloomy than the real person, half of his face was covered with thick shadows, making it almost impossible to see the fire hidden in those eyes.
However, the person sitting in front of Zhou Chenshan was obviously much more real than in the photo.
Shen Qing was organizing his speech, hoping to explain that he was not arguing with others at the time: "...No, I know Brother Zhang's family business has some problems, and he is also quite difficult. I can understand that he is anxious for money... But he wanted to sell several players, which I can't accept, so... then I went to him to argue."
Zhou Chenshan nodded: "That's it, then it's a good time for me to invest."
Shen Qing was speechless, and after a while, she thanked her softly.
This 3000 million capital injection temporarily saved the Eagles, but it could not completely save Zhang Renmin's capital chain. If he was unlucky, the Eagles would still be dismantled next year.However, Zhou Chenshan's helping hand at this moment is still very important.
"You're welcome, as I said before, I made more money than you in this exchange." Zhou Chenshan said with a smile.
Shen Qing shook her head: "I still have to thank you, this capital injection is very important to me."
Zhou Chenshan looked at Shen Qing's handsome but bloodless face, his eyelids were lowered, and his expression was dull.
Even though Shen Qing's appearance of bowing for tens of millions is no different from many people, Zhou Chenshan still had a strange intuition, as if this person had never bowed his head.
