Chapter 335 Former teammates

When the waiter heard this, he quickly lowered his head and turned around to go out and call the manager.

After a while, unexpectedly, a young man walked into the door.

Bai Ran paused for a moment. Aren't hotel managers generally middle-aged uncles?

Taking a closer look, Bai Ran was shocked!

Damn it, isn't this the fierce defender of the Nanlou Spirit Football Team - Chen Zhijian!

"Guests, if you have any questions, you can tell me."

"Is it because the taste doesn't suit you, or is it because our cook forgot the taboos you told us?"

Zhang Hefeng said in a cold voice: "The food you cooked is too unpalatable, I want to waive the order."

Chen Zhijian, wearing a suit and leather shoes, was elegant and said, "I'm sorry, sir, if you don't taste it, we won't give you a refund."

"May I ask which dish is not to your liking?"

Zhang Hefeng chuckled and raised his head: "Everyone doesn't agree with me. Can I be exempted from the bill?"

"Wind...Wind Team?"

"I go!?"

"How did you come!"

Seeing Zhang Hefeng, Chen Zhijian's expression was very shocked, as if something terrible had happened!

"Oh oh oh! I understand, Captain Feng, you are entertaining guests!"

"Understood! I will arrange the best private rooms, wine and food, and I will definitely satisfy you!"

Chen Zhijian has been a manager for a while and is quite familiar with the world of people.

But Zhang Hefeng interrupted: "No, no, no!"

"I just came here specifically to chat with you."

"This is Bai Ran. You probably don't recognize her now, but you should know it later."

Chen Zhijian nodded towards Bai Ran: "Hello, Brother Ran!"

"Waiter, you go out first."

Bai Ran, Chen Zhijian and Zhang Hefeng were the only three people left in the box.

"Okay now, I can become Manager Chen."

Chen Zhijian laughed loudly: "Oh! Captain Feng, you are still talking about outsiders with me, just call me Ajian!"

Zhang Hefeng said: "Well, A Jian, to tell you the truth, I came to you today for something."

Chen Zhijian's expression gradually became serious. Seeing Zhang Hefeng's solemn expression, he was also full of worry.

"Team Feng, what happened?"

"Don't worry, as long as it's within my ability, I will definitely help you at every cost."

Zhang Hefeng smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and shook it.

"It's no big deal."

"I think you're doing quite well in this restaurant now."

Chen Zhijian: "Wherever I go, I just make do to make ends meet."

"There are so many guests coming and going, and I have to take care of every one of them. I often have to watch all directions and listen to all directions. I am exhausted every day."

"It doesn't look like you! Haha!"

Zhang Hefeng said: "Then do you still remember what happened to our team in the past?"

When Chen Zhijian mentioned this matter, stars popped up in his eyes.

"Of course!"

"We were so high-spirited back then that we beat all the teams in the provinces and cities near us, including the adult teams!"

"That period was so glorious, it makes my blood boil just thinking about it!"

At this point, Zhang Hefeng and Bai Ran looked at each other, with lucky looks in their eyes.

This is interesting!

Strike while the iron is hot!

Zhang Hefeng continued: "I also remember your defender, it was really a god blocking the gods and killing the Buddha!"

"No matter what body or speed the opponent is, as long as you rush over, you must intercept the ball."

"With you sitting in the backcourt, we didn't worry at all."

Chen Zhijian chuckled: "I can't compare to you, captain. Your breakthroughs from the wing are so sharp that you can't even recognize the opponent!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Hefeng paused: "Then do you know who he is?"

With that said, Zhang Hefeng pointed in Bai Ran's direction.

Chen Zhijian narrowed his eyes, smiled and shook his head.

"Excuse my humble eyes, I really have no impression. Have we met before?"

"Please give me a heads up! I'll think about it again!"

Bai Ran said calmly: "What are you trying to remind me of? You just listen to his nonsense."

"We have never met before."

"It's a bit magical to say it. I was actually your teammate in my previous life, and I was also your vice-captain."

Chen Zhijian frowned.

This...horror story?

There is also the theory of past and present lives?

"Oh? Then in your previous life...were we all like this? How did you travel here?"

Bai Ran said: "That's not important, you just need to know that everything I said is true, that's enough."

"If you don't believe it..."

"I know that when you were in middle school, you had a goddess that you chased every day, and you went around asking for tips on how to chase girls."

"At that time, you asked me every day how to chase girls, because there were several female classmates in the class who were very interested in me."

"In order to chase the goddess, you even came to me for two months to buy her a gift. In the end, she got together with the top student in the class..."

"Is this true?"

Chen Zhijian has always been a relatively down-to-earth person, and he is very dedicated in his approach to things, but in the eyes of the outside world, he is indeed a bit stubborn.

But it's also a great attribute for his game.

Originally, Chen Zhijian was a basketball player, but he fell in love with football after being exposed to it.

With this mentality of never giving up until he reaches his goal, he goes to school morning and evening or even skips classes to practice football. However, there is no way to make up for talent. Obviously, Chen Zhijian does not have such a high talent.

Therefore, although he has been practicing football for a long time and his skills at his feet are not particularly good, he should be fully capable of playing the role of a defender with his physical fitness and conditions, as well as his adequate skills.

Sure enough, after joining the Nanlou Spirit School Team, Chen Zhijian played to a very high level and was at home in the team, playing well.

Chen Zhijian blushed when Bai Ran mentioned this.

"Hey, hey, hey... no need to say anything."

"So, you really traveled from a previous life?"

"Oh my God, this is amazing."

"Brother, I guess you can go to the Huaguo Science and Technology Park to do research!"

Zhang Hefeng said calmly: "Ajian, we came to you this time for serious business."

“I hope to re-establish the South Tower spirit.”

"Are you going to come back and play fullback?"

"With your help, our team will be able to regain its former glory. Your defenders are the best in the world."

Chen Zhijian laughed and said, "Team Feng, you are really good at joking."

"Rebuilding? It's good that you have this intention. I can help you with some money."

"But let me go back to play football, so forget it."

"I'm already in my teens and 20s. I'm not young anymore. It's time to make money."

Zhang Hefeng said: "Ajian, don't you know how much money you can earn if you become famous playing football?"

"That's an amount that ordinary people like you and I can't even imagine in our lifetime!"

"He is an example!"

"Bai Ran, now at Real Madrid, you can earn 15 million euros a year!"

“And there’s an added bonus!”

A flash of shock flashed across Chen Zhijian's eyebrows, but it quickly subsided.

"Real Madrid!"

"I used to be a Real Madrid fan."

"However, you also said that if you become famous, you can indeed earn a lot."

"But not kicked out?"

"After spending so many years with you, who will give me a way out when I go out into society in my thirties?"

"Don't be naive, Team Wind."

"I won't do it, and I advise you not to do it."

"That's it for today. I'll treat you to this table of dishes."

After saying that, Chen Zhijian stood up and left immediately.

Zhang Hefeng said: "You should think about it again!"

"Real Madrid will play us in two days. If you play well in this game, you will definitely become famous!"

"Ajian, Ajian!"

Chen Zhijian walked out of the box and went to take care of the guests again.

Bai Ran and Zhang Hefeng looked at each other, looking at each other.

The successive failures have made them all a little tired.

"Next is the guy with the nicest temper."

"If this doesn't work, the other ones will probably be enough."

"Bai Ran, in your previous life, you, Bai Chen, were the deputy captain, but you don't know that in our world, he is the second captain."

Bai Ran was quite interested, who could take the lead?

"yes?"

Zhang Hefeng grabbed a crab leg on the plate, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, with a determined look in his eyes.

A certain skyscraper.

A corporate summit is taking place on the top floor, bringing together representatives and managers from various groups.

In the conference room, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows extend down, and you can see the entire city from here.

There were more than twenty middle-aged people sitting below, all in suits and leather shoes, sitting upright on chairs. On the long conference table, the sound of writing with pens could be heard quietly.

In front of the stage, PPT was being demonstrated, and beside the curtain stood an energetic young man.

The man wears gold-rimmed glasses and is elegant. His crisp suit reflects his temperament, and his plain face looks very gentle.

With a height of 1.88 meters, he looks calm and intimidating.

"What I want to talk about next is the third core competitiveness of our company."

"In the undercurrent market, there is a saying that has been circulating..."

Bai Ran and Zhang Hefeng took a look outside the door.

"Let me go, Zuo Jiajun has already become like this?"

Bai Ran couldn't help but sigh, and Zhang Hefeng said, "Have you forgotten? They have a big company at home."

"Oh oh oh! I remembered! Is he inheriting his father's legacy?"

Zhang Hefeng nodded: "Of course."

Unexpectedly, the last person with the best temper turned out to be the CEO of a company.

The corporate summit lasted for a while, and with a burst of warm and thunderous applause, Zuo Jiajun smiled slightly, nodded, walked off the stage, and finished his speech.

Not long after he sat on the chair, he heard a voice coming from behind him.

"Manager Zuo?"

"Someone is looking for you outside the door."

Zuo Jiajun turned around and quietly left the conference room and came to the empty room next door.

Seeing the two figures sitting over there, Zuo Jiajun cleared his throat.

"Hello."

"Are you two looking for me?"

Bai Ran and Zhang Hefeng turned around and looked at Zuo Jiajun.

"Wind Team?"

"How did you come."

Zhang Hefeng stood up, showed a professional fake smile, and said: "Superman, this is..."

"Oh my God!"

"Bai Ran!?"

Before Zhang Hefeng finished speaking, Zuo Jiajun snatched him away.

Looking at Bai Ran's face, Zuo Jiajun looked like he couldn't believe it.

"Bai Ran!? Are you Bai Ran!"

Bai Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and nodded.

"Superman, you are so enthusiastic."

Zuo Jiajun's face was full of joy.

"I'm your fan! You played great at Real Madrid!"

"Hey, what did you just call me?"

Bai Ran said calmly: "Superman."

It turns out that Zuo Jiajun is a goalkeeper with a height of 1.8cm. When he was in high spirits in Nanlou, his nickname was "Superman".

The origin of this story can be traced back to when they were in middle school.

At that time, the Nanlou Spirit team was already famous all over the country, and Zuo Jiajun's goalkeeping skills were admired by many people.

At that time, there was a player in the national football team. He heard that there was a very strong youth team here, so he brought a group of media and reporters to Nanlou Middle School for inspection.

To put it bluntly, it's just to create some gimmicks and make some points.

The Nanlou Spirit happened to be playing football on the playground at that time. After the international player arrived, he said a few words to the camera, said hello to the young players, and took photos.

In the end, the national football team also felt that these seedlings were pretty good and wanted to teach them personally on the spot.

Coincidentally, it was Zhang Hefeng who was watching from the side.

The national player said to Zhang Hefeng: "Look, when you shoot, your ankle is not locked, so you always have no power."

"If you want to have a powerful shot, you must lock your ankle and use the instep of your foot. This way, the shot will be fast and accurate."

"The shot you just took wasn't of high quality, was it? The little brother guarding the goalkeeper saved it so easily."

"This is because of what I just said. As long as you can pay attention to this, you will definitely have no problem shooting."

"Watch me give it to you once!"

At this time, everyone's eyes were fixed on the international player.

At this moment, the camera lens was also focused on him.

The eyes of almost all the people in the country are on him.

It seems that the national football team has to teach the younger generation a lesson.

In front of the goal is Zuo Jiajun, who is 1.88 meters tall.

He was thin, wearing gloves, protective gear, and goggles on his face.

boom!

A volley from the international footballer!

I have to say that the gap between amateurs and professionals is still very big. The quality of this shot is extremely high!

The ball is extremely fast!

And it also flew towards the upper left corner of the goal with a huge arc!

According to common sense, even the two goalkeepers of the amateur team cannot save this ball!

But at this moment, Zuo Jiajun's eyes burst out with brilliance, and his reaction speed was top-notch. At this moment, he jumped high and flew to save the ball!

There are two words in the hearts of everyone present!

I! Cao!

When flying, his jumping ability and reaction speed are absolutely professional!

At this moment, Zuo Jiajun is like Superman!

He really flew!

Since then, Zuo Jiajun has had another nickname - Zuo Chaoman.

But in this world, Zuo Jiajun has never been a teammate with Bai Chen, so he doesn't know Bai Chen's existence at all.

However, Zuo Jiajun is considered a senior Real Madrid fan and knows a lot about these things in football.

So of course he also knows that Bai Ran is the current star of Real Madrid.

Bai Ran is even his idol!

When Bai Ran said his nickname, he was confused.

"How do you know my nickname?"

Bai Ran said: "Because I used to be teammates with you."

Zuo Jiajun: "You are really good at joking. I have never played football for Real Madrid."

Bai Ran's expression was very serious.

"But I fought side by side with you in the South Tower Spirit in my previous life."

Zuo Jiajun's pupils shook, what?

How can this be?

"Previous life!?"

Bai Ran nodded: "Superman, your family is very rich and runs a large company. Your father is the chairman of the group. Since you were a child, your family has asked you to take over the family business after graduation."

"But you don't accept it. You want to make your own way. You want to make a name for yourself by playing football."

"In the South Tower Spirit, you find this sense of belonging and purpose. You make a bet with your parents that if you get kicked out of the South Tower Spirit, you will never have to listen to them again."

"But if you can't be kicked out, you have to go back and inherit the family business."

"Although people around you envy you, you know in your heart that that's not what you want."

Hearing these words, Zuo Jiajun swallowed his saliva. Most people don't know what he thinks!

"This is real!"

"Did I hear that correctly!?"

Zhang Hefeng nodded: "Everything he said is true. I was shocked at first."

Zuo Jiajun said: "Then you came to me today, what's the matter?"

Zhang Hefeng took a long breath.

"Superman."

"I believe that you are not reconciled to it either."

“I now plan to rebuild the spirit of South Tower.”

"With you as the goalkeeper, the rear will be absolutely stable."

"With your skills and body, there's absolutely no problem."

"How about it? Do you want to do it or not?"

Zuo Jiajun hesitated.

"Just repeating the same mistakes."

"Team Feng, recognize the reality."

"Stop having such big dreams."

Zhang Hefeng's expression was very embarrassing.

"We are now discussing the game. If we can re-establish it, we can play a game against Real Madrid."

"If you can become famous in this competition, your future will be unlimited!"

"You trust me, Superman."

At this moment, a beautiful female secretary came over.

"Manager Zuo?"

"They're finished, waiting for you to summarize."

Zuo Jiajun nodded: "Well, you go ahead, I understand."

Later, Zuo Jiajun said to Zhang Hefeng: "Okay, let's do this for today and contact you later."

"Bai Ran, goodbye."

After saying that, Zuo Jiajun turned around and left the room.

In desperation, Bai Ran and Zhang Hefeng walked out of the room again and took the elevator downstairs.

Not only these people...

"No time! Sorry!"

"No need! Find someone else."

"I've forgotten how to play football. You want me to go back to play football? Don't be kidding me!"

"As for your matter, I think let's forget it, but I can let you pick a girl for free, and you can come in and play with it as you please."

Zhang Hefeng and Bai Ran looked at each other, their faces full of black lines...

The successive failures left them disheartened.

Is it true that things have changed and no one wants to come back?

Bai Ran and Zhang Hefeng visited the positions of more than a dozen old teammates, but none of them succeeded!

He finally returned home with Zhang Hefeng.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhang Hefeng covered his forehead with melancholy on his face.

Bai Ran took a look around Zhang Hefeng's home. The decoration and layout... Bai Ran couldn't help but burst into tears.
