Early the next morning, Song Jiajia saw Hu Lai and asked again: "How did you sleep last night?"
"Great."
When Hu Lai was answering, Song Jiajia stared at Hu Lai's expression and found that his expression was as usual, without panic or concealment of hesitation.
So he was confused: "You really didn't do anything last night?"
"It's done."
"Oh, what did you do?" Song Jiajia became excited.
"Qingqing and I conducted special training on left-foot kicking last night!"
The fat man who was so excited raised two middle fingers: "Damn, you are playing football with Qingqing so late at night, you are such a fucking talent!"
Then he threw the key in his hand to Hu Lai.
Hu Lai caught it: "What is this?"
"Your new car key. G E63, it has strong horsepower. Be careful when you first start driving it. Don't step on the accelerator to the bottom." Song Jiajia pointed at the dark green sedan parked in the yard and said.
Hu Lai suddenly realized: "No wonder I just heard the noise when you came in. It was so loud and booming that it reminded me of the will-o'-the-wisp boy who bombed the street in the middle of the night..."
"You are the will-o'-the-wisp!" Song Jiajia rolled her eyes at him, "I originally wanted to give you the entire sports car, but I thought you drove like an old man, so why would you want a sports car?"
"Then you will give me the whole love hen?"
"I can't really give you the entire Volkswagen Pl, can I? You are Mr. 100 million euros after all. At least the car must be worthy of your status. This car is neither high-profile nor low-grade, so it suits you just right... Why?
?”
Song Jiajia looked at Hu Lai's outstretched palm and asked.
"Here's 100 million euros! They call me Mr. 100 million euros. I've never seen so much money before!"
Song Jiajia knocked off his hand, looked at Li Qingqing walking out of the house, and asked with a smile: "Qingqing, your driver's license certification will be completed soon. I will give you one when the time comes. What car do you want?"
Li Qingqing asked: "Are you going to give it away?"
"Yeah, I'll give it to you!"
"Really?" Li Qingqing seemed like she couldn't believe it.
Song Jiajia patted her chest and promised, "I'll give it to you!"
"Then I want 45."
Song Jiajia was stunned for a moment. When Hu Lai saw this, he teased him: "No way, fat man, are you going to regret it?"
"What a shame!" Song Jiajia rolled her eyes at him, "I just didn't expect such a cute girl like Qingqing to drive such a wild car..."
Li Qingqing smiled and said: "I'm just kidding, just ii."
Song Jiajia was still surprised: "But Qingqing, you actually know 45."
"I saw it in the Benavente parking lot. It was driven by Merry."
Song Jiajia and Hu Lai were both surprised. They didn't expect Meili's obedient child to be able to fire such a small steel cannon...
The two of them looked at each other, as if they imagined that Melly, who was a good child in front of others, got into his car and listened to the roar of the engine. He transformed into a tofu delivery man. What about heel-toe shifting, what about turning corners in drainage ditches, he
He picked it up so that everyone could only see his taillights, just like he flashed past a defensive player on the court...
Why do you suddenly feel a little nervous?
※※※
Hu Lai sat in the driver's seat of the car, and Song Jiajia sat in the passenger seat. The window was opened, and Li Qingqing stood outside the car and watched them off.
Hu Lai raised his right hand and then hung it in the air: "Where is the gear lever?"
"This is a Mercedes-Benz, grab it!" Song Jiajia pointed to the lever on the right side of the steering wheel speechlessly.
"Oh, I thought it was the wiper..."
Then Hu Lai lowered his head and glanced: "Which side is the accelerator?" (Note 1)
Song Jiajia was so frightened that she opened the car door: "Brother, come down and I'll open it!"
Hu Lai caught him: "Why panic! My body remembers it!"
As he spoke, he stepped on the brake and started the car.
There was a loud blast, then turned into a deep and powerful buzz, and this V8 performance monster was awakened.
"Be careful on the road." Li Qingqing waved to them. The taxi she called would be here soon, and she was leaving home for training. Because the two sides were in completely opposite directions, Hu Lai couldn't drive Li Qingqing to Beihai first.
Navante, go to Casa by yourself.
This is why we need to prepare two cars.
The town of Herrera is right in the middle of the two training bases, and it is equally close to either side. Therefore, it is deeply loved by players who play for the two wealthy clubs, and they all choose to make their homes here.
But the disadvantage is that Hu Lai and Li Qingqing go their separate ways when they go out, driving their cars in different directions and unable to walk together.
After all, other players who have bought property here have never had to worry about a couple belonging to two different clubs.
After Hu Lai drove the car to the Casa training base smoothly, Song Jiajia got off the car with him. Song Jiajia took a ride over to continue discussing work with the Pirates Club. After Hu Lai's transfer was completed, it didn't mean that all the work was settled.
, his agency still has specific work to do.
Hu Lai first went to meet with the team's coaching staff, and then was taken to meet with his teammates.
That will be their first meeting.
No, this statement is not rigorous, because this is not the first time someone has met Hu Lai.

Ion Martinez approached Cardoso Tonini with a smile: "Tonini, let me ask you something."
Tonyni raised his head and saw his expression, and became alert: "What are you going to do?"
"Nothing, nothing, don't be nervous. I'm really just asking a question, a small question." Martinez waved his hands repeatedly.
Toni looked at him, thought for a while and said, "Then you ask."
"I want to ask, how did you feel when you were tied by Hu's hat trick in the World Cup...ah ha ha!" Martinez just finished speaking, turned around and ran, laughing loudly as he ran, just like
A neurosis.
Tonini kicked him in the back.
"Ion, you kid, don't run away!" Tonini yelled behind him.
"Then come after me!" Martinez turned around and challenged Tonini.
Toniny rushed towards him.
The two started chasing each other in the locker room.
They shuttled past other teammates, causing others to boo.
"Catch him, come on Toni!"
"Run, Ion, run!"
Everyone put aside what they were doing and cheered for the two people.
The two of them chased all the way to the door of the locker room amidst everyone's cheers. At that moment, the door was opened.
A tall figure appeared at the door and almost collided with Martinez who was rushing towards him.
Martinez stepped on the brakes suddenly, and Tonini from behind jumped up and hugged him: "Hold you kid... eh?"
He also saw the person appearing at the door.
Maxi Carey.

Jule once again met the "good guy" Ettore Parotti, the head coach of Madrid Pirates.
"Seeing you looking so energetic, it's obvious that you had a good rest last night, so I'm relieved." The Italian coach said with a smile. He looked like a kind-hearted old man, but in fact he was not satisfied.
He is sixty years old and is fifty-seven this year. However, his long-term coaching job has made his hair almost completely white.
This shows how stressful the profession of football head coach is.
"Today is your first day training with the team. Although you were not able to participate in the physical training phase of our pre-season training, I know that Leeds City is a team that emphasizes physical fitness, and Coach Clark also attaches great importance to physical training.
.So your physical fitness should not be a problem. Leeds City's performance in the Europa League final amazed me. In the last game of the season, it is amazing to be able to play at such a fast pace... By the way, that game
I watched the game live.”
Hu Lai was a little surprised: "Coach, are you here?"
"Yes, I watched the game live with captain Ramirez."
Hulay suddenly realized something and remembered something. Before the Europa League final, the trophy was brought to the scene by Juan Ramirez, the captain of the previous champion Madrid Pirates.
But he didn't expect that the team's head coach would also go along.
"To be honest, we didn't send special scouts to follow you before because we didn't need to. Almost every once in a while, we can see your performance in the media. So you don't need to because we didn't contact you in advance.
I'm just worried that the Pirates' coaching staff doesn't know you well enough."
Hu Lai waved his hand quickly: "No, no, I have no such worries, coach. You are all very professional."
Parotti smiled and said: "We only need to be sure of one thing, and that is when you want to leave Leeds City, we will pursue you."
Parotti is right, Hulay is no longer an unknown figure in the entire European football world.
Therefore, those wealthy teams chasing him this summer do not need to send scouts a season or half a year in advance to examine Hulay's performance. Hulay's performance is reflected in the Premier League, Champions League and Europa League games every week.
Be clear as day.
As a center with obvious characteristics and a single tactical role, everyone knows Hu Lai's strengths and weaknesses.
Therefore, these giants did not make plans for Julay in advance. Nor did they make it known to the world in a high-profile manner like the Kings of Madrid. Of course, this is the tradition of the Kings of Madrid. They have always been high-profile. After all, they always think that "the best players should be kings"
This is the only company that often talks about "efficiency".
Clubs like Madrid Pirates and Turin Bulls are just waiting.
Waiting for the signal for Hu Lai to leave the team.
"Luckily, we finally caught up with you, ha!" Parotti patted Hu Lai on the shoulder hard, laughing heartily.
"The Pirates already have top players like Maxi Carey, but no one can have too many good players, right? I think the forward combination of you and Carey can become the most powerful offensive line in La Liga.
Better than the Kings' front line composed of Cerrados, Melly and Vandenberg. Because you are both good at scoring goals. The team spent a lot of money to sign you so that you can concentrate on scoring goals and score more goals. I
I believe you can do this, right?"
Hu Lai grinned: "I'm really only good at scoring goals."
Parotti was very satisfied with Hu Lai's answer. Then he introduced his coaching staff to Hu Lai one by one.
"Jesus Valentin, our first assistant coach."
A bald middle-aged man stood in front of Hu Lai and smiled at him: "Hello, Hu. I am a coach who is very strict in training."
Hu Lai shook hands with him: "Hello, Coach Valentine, I will not let you down in training."
"This is the second assistant coach, Enzo Nacher, who, like me, is Italian."
An obviously younger coach stretched out his hand to Hu Lai: "Hello, Hu."
After Hu Lai shook hands with him, another coach stood in front of him.
"Diego Morales is the team's physical coach." This man took the initiative to introduce himself. He was thin, not tall and strong, and was the same as Anthony, the muscle maniac physical coach Hulay met in Leeds City.
·Clement is completely in two ways.
Parotti smiled beside him and said: "Diego is a very good physical coach, and he speaks very highly of Leeds City's physical training."
Morales nodded: "So I think even if you don't train with us physically, you can keep up with our pace in the following training and games. Therefore, we will not lower the requirements for you in training."
Hu Lai said quickly: "Don't worry, coach, I can keep up."
"Strength and conditioning coach Javier Campos."
When shaking hands with Hulay, he added: "I am Diego's assistant."
Hu Lai was stunned in his heart. He has two assistant coaches and two physical coaches. Madrid Pirates and Leeds City are indeed different. A wealthy club is a wealthy club...
"Goalkeeping coach Ramon Lopez."
A tall man who needed Hu Lai to look up smiled and extended his hand to him: "I only retired two seasons ago. Before that, I played for the Pirates for ten years. I am familiar with everything here. I love the Pirates,
So glad you didn’t go to King, ha!”
Hulay met with the coaching staff one by one. He didn't know if it was a necessary process for every player who joined Madrid Pirates, or if only he had such special treatment.
After all, he is "Mr. 100 Million"...
Damn it, the media keeps saying it all the time, I have to believe it!
After meeting with the coaching staff, the door to the head coach's office was knocked open and someone walked in.
Parotti introduced to Hulay: "This is Juan Ramirez, the captain of the team. He will take you to meet other players. I hope you get along well."
Hu Lai nodded, said goodbye to the coaching staff, and left with the captain.
Valentin waited until they closed the door and went out, then said to Parotti: "It seems that Hu is an easy person to get along with."
Physical fitness coach Morales agreed: "He is very polite. He and Maxi are two completely different types of people."
Speaking of Maxi Carey, Parotti remained silent.

"I watched the Europa League final live, and your two goals were very beautiful. I am very happy that someone finally broke the Navigator's record of 'everyone who reaches the Europa League final must win'."
On the way from the head coach's office to the locker room, captain Juan Ramirez struck up a conversation with Hulay.
Hulay was a little surprised: "Aren't you all Spanish teams, so you should be on the same front?"
After all, if Navigators win the championship, then the Europa League honor belongs to Spanish football.
But Ramirez shook his head: "We don't deal with them."
"Why?"
"Look at the names of our two teams. They are navigators and we are pirates. They are natural enemies." Ramirez said and laughed, and then said: "You're kidding. We have a grudge against them.
But not because of the name. Anyway, remember, Hu, if you score a goal in the game against the Navigators, you will quickly win the recognition of Pirates fans..."
Hu Lai thought of the scene he saw in the lounge yesterday, pointed at himself and said: "But captain, I feel like the Pirates fans recognize me quite highly..."
Ramirez reacted and laughed again: "That's right! You are the one who rejected the King twice in a row! The whole world thought you were going to the King of Madrid, but you ended up coming to us. Well done! Pirates
Fans love anyone who goes against the King, so you really win their favor."
Today is Julay's first day officially joining Madrid Pirates. He has already felt the hatred between these mortal enemies in the same city before he even met his teammates.
This was very new and interesting for him who had never had similar experience before.
They say "without derby, there is no football", and he finally had the opportunity to experience derby.
"Guys are very easy to get along with. Pirates are not kings. We are not as pretentious as them. We will speak out directly about anything. Even if it is a conflict, we are not afraid. We can solve it by speaking out. If we don't speak out, no one will know.
, it became a bomb. So if there is any problem, you can go to me, if I'm not here, go to Riva, Riva Moreno, he is the second captain of the team. The third captain is Joaquin
Bella, I will introduce you one by one in a moment... You can also say it directly to the team, but no matter what it is, remember, Hu, everything is limited to within the team, you know? "
When he was about to walk to the locker room, captain Juan Ramirez suddenly stopped, looked into Hulay's eyes, and said these words to him in a very serious tone.
Hu Lai was a little confused and didn't quite understand why the captain suddenly became so serious. But he also became serious, nodded with a straight face and gave his promise: "Don't worry, captain, I am the most straightforward person, and I don't have so many tricks."
"Very good, you speak Spanish very well. I heard that you are a language genius, so there will be no biggest obstacle for you to integrate into the team. Now let's go, I will take you to get to know the Pirates."
Ramirez took a step forward and opened the locker room door.
"Guys! New guy joining!"

Note 1: The real thing that happened to me was a friend’s party. Everyone drank wine during the dinner, but I didn’t drink. So on the way back, I was asked to be the driver. As a result, when I got in the car, I first asked, "Where is the brake?"
Are you coming?", which scared my friend half awake and asked me if it was okay. If not, I would like to ask for a driver.
In fact, I was really having a brain convulsion at the time, so I asked that question. But if you ask me to tell you which is the accelerator and which is the brake pedal, I have to think carefully before I answer, and I can't just blurt it out.
.But if I were to drive directly, my body would automatically put my feet in the correct position.
