Fang Xinjie's agent received a call from Flash Star general manager Dong Wen on Monday. Dong Wen told him that after the club's research, it decided not to accept his proposal of an annual salary of 2.6 million, and hoped that Fang Xinjie could
Accept the previous condition of an annual salary of 1.5 million, and based on this, we can continue to negotiate.
Although he didn't say anything to death, Fang Xinjie's agent was not a fool, and he could sense the tough attitude of Flash Star Club.
All I had to do was tell him directly, "On this condition, do you like it or not? If you accept it, we will sign the contract. If you don't accept it, get out."
This confused Fang Xinjie's agent and didn't understand how things suddenly developed to this point...
Last week, although Flash Star Club did not agree to the annual salary conditions proposed by him, their attitude was not so tough.
Is this what happened?
The agent thought of this and decided to search first to find out what happened to Flash Star recently.
This search led him to see a name.
Hu Lai.
This name almost always appears in the news about Shining Star.
He came on the bench twice and scored a total of three goals. Especially in the last round of the league, he scored as soon as he came off the bench. In the end, he scored twice to help the Stars defeat Youjiang Honglian 3:0.
After a little research, the agent understood where the Flash Star Club's tough attitude came from.
It turns out that a young striker has emerged... thinking that there is a talented newcomer who can solve the problem of goal shortage, so the opponent Xinjie is not so urgent and can pay back the money?
Simply ridiculous!
How can a professional football newcomer who has never proven himself before be compared with the experienced forward Fang Xinjie?
He only made two appearances as a substitute and scored three goals, but he was able to make everyone at the Flash Star Club dizzy?
How big of a deal does he take it?
After figuring out the whole story, the agent was no longer anxious, because Flash Star's wishful thinking was destined to come to nothing.
He sneered and looked at Dong Wen's name in the address book of his mobile phone. It seemed that he could already imagine how the other party would come to him in a low voice and beg him to persuade Fang Xinjie to sign...
The only trouble is that I have to call Fang Xinjie again to convince him to wait patiently for a while.
Thinking of Fang Xinjie's quick temper, the manager's brows couldn't be relieved.
He felt that dealing with Dong Wen was not as difficult as dealing with Fang Xinjie...

A week later, in the 21st round of the Chinese League One, Anton Shining Stars challenged Capital Athletic away from home, and Hu Lai finally appeared in the starting lineup.
This made many people breathe a sigh of relief.
When a player performs well and scores goals in two consecutive games, if he is still not selected for the starting lineup, there is no excuse for him.
If such a person cannot be included in the starting lineup, it must be the head coach's fault.
Fortunately, Hu Lai finally started.
First career start.
But this time he failed to score a goal in the game.
Flash Star also lost to Capital Athletic 0:1 away from home.
The league ranking fell from 11th place in the previous round to 12th place.
On the flight back to Jincheng from the capital, Chen Jianyu wrote a comment overnight. He seemed to be defending the team's defeat, but in fact he was defending Hu Lai, who started the game but did not score.
He believes that Hu Lai has performed his level normally, but he wants to remind the fans and readers that football matches are not decided by any one player. After all, it is a collective sport. If the whole team does not perform well, it cannot be done by just one person.
Change the result of the game. Not to mention that Hu Lai is not the kind of player who can dribble the ball into Longtan alone and solve the battle by himself.
Chen Jianyu called on everyone to keep a calm mind while cheering for Hu Lai's first three goals. Hu Lai is not an omnipotent god. He is just a talented young player. When he performs well, of course
There will be times when Hu Lai's performance is mediocre or even poor. Whether it is this game or in future games, if Hu Lai's performance is unsatisfactory, when everyone scolds him, they must first think about who they were in the first place.
How do you praise him? Don't do things that would slap yourself in the face.
In order to reduce the pressure on young players, Chen Jianyu has taken great pains...
And we can’t say that his worries are unfounded.
After this game, there was indeed some criticism against Hu Lai on the Internet.
Some people think that he drifted away after scoring goals in two consecutive games.
Others think that he finally showed his true colors. His outstanding performance in the first two games was just his super-level performance with overwhelming luck, which cannot explain any problems. On the contrary, it is the performance in this game that best reflects Hu Lai's true level——
Do you think it's strange for these people? Hu Lai has only played three games in total now. As a result, the two games with more outstanding performances cannot prove Hu Lai's true level, but the one with less performance was mediocre and did not score.
The ball game can define Hu Lai's level...
That's why Chen Jianyu had to write such an article. Based on his understanding of Chinese football, Chinese fans, and Chinese media, he knew that this kind of thing would definitely happen.
Even praising after winning and scolding after losing is a very common phenomenon in competitive sports. However, in Chinese football, this phenomenon is particularly extreme.
Chen Jianyu’s doing this is not a plan for a rainy day...

"Xinjie, look!" The manager handed the phone to Fang Xinjie, who was sitting next to him, with a proud tone in his voice: "Look what I said? I just said this kid won't last long!"
Fang Xinjie took the phone and saw a piece of news:
"...Anton Shining Star lost to Capital Athletic 0:1 in an away game. Hu Lai, a talented young man who had scored in two consecutive games, started in this game, but failed to score for the team...
"
"Heh." Fang Xinjie smiled.
"That's why I keep saying to be patient. As long as you remain patient, the initiative is on our side." The agent was beside him, repeating the words that Fang Xinjie had already heard ringing in his ears.
Fang Xinjie handed the phone to his agent: "Okay, okay, I will wait patiently for your good news..."
"Hey, actually we can't wait too long." The agent said confidently, "In the middle of next week, aren't you Green Forest going to play against the Stars away from home? I just happened to go to Jincheng with you, and I'll wait for the game to be over.
, I will go directly to Dong Wen, and you don’t have to rush back with the team, we will sign the contract in Jincheng."
"Very good." Fang Xinjie thought for a while and nodded. "After signing the contract, you come back to check it in and transport my car to Jincheng on a pallet truck. I won't come back now and will stay in Jincheng to adapt."
"No problem." The agent agreed and suggested: "You can look at the house there first. I heard that the training base of Flashing Star is in Liucheng District, which is far away from the main city. You should look for a house in Liucheng District.
Still in the city..."
"Isn't it more lively in the city?"
"But there are often traffic jams in Jincheng. I'm worried that you live in the city and it's inconvenient to go to training..."
"The congestion in Yujiang is even worse. Didn't I miss my training?" Fang Xinjie curled his lips and didn't take it seriously. "When you transfer to a new place, you have to actively integrate into the local area to adapt as soon as possible. Find a lively place to live.
Come down and quickly integrate into local life, then you can perform better in both training and competition..."
"That's right..." the manager said this, but in his heart he was thinking that you just like the colorful nightlife in Jincheng... Why are you pretending to be a big-tailed wolf?
The two of them discussed and planned Fang Xinjie's future life in Jincheng, and it seemed that the transfer to Flash Star was already a certainty.

Fang Xinjie was sitting on the visiting team's bench, with his teammates beside him holding their heads.
All around were the cheers of fans of the home team Flash Stars.
He seemed to be in the crater of an erupting volcano, and the ground beneath his feet was shaking.
He played here on behalf of Xiaojiang Green Forest last season and never saw this stadium being so crazy.
Of course, that might be because Flash Star lost the game at that time.
And today, at this moment, the score on the big screen in the distance has just been refreshed.
The home team Anton Shining Star led Xiaojiang Lulin 2:1.
He turned his attention to the corner flag area of the Xiaojiang Green Forest half. There was a figure leaping high, turning 180 degrees in the air and landing, with his legs firmly planted on the turf, and the number on his back and
The last name is on display for all to see.
Hu Lai!
He had just scored the go-ahead goal from Anton Shining Star.
Doesn’t it mean that this kid’s goal-scoring momentum won’t last long?
After this thought came to his mind, he couldn't help but look back at the stands behind him.

Fang Xinjie's agent was standing in front of the VIP seats at this moment, staring blankly at Hu Lai on the court.
As an agent, you always have a certain perspective when it comes to looking at people, right?
He really felt that this young man named Hu Lai was unsustainable and could not keep scoring goals - how could this make sense in the world? A young and inexperienced player had just appeared in the professional arena.
, scoring consecutive goals? Do you really think that the professional league is a joke?!
Didn't he score a goal in the last game?
But why...are you so good at scoring goals?
He even had an idea: If he doesn't come in early or late, he chooses this time to come in. Is this guy deliberately going against me?
Even he knows that this kind of thinking is ridiculous. The opponent cannot score a goal and choose the right time.
It's just...the timing of this goal was really bad!
Before the game started, he had contacted Manager Dong, hoping to finalize the contract after the game.
Dong Wen did not give him a clear playing method, but only said that he would talk about it after the game.
He was very confident in his judgment at that time, so he did not push Dong Wen anymore, but agreed.
But looking at it now, Dong Wen may be waiting to see Hu Lai's performance in the game before making a decision...
Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the rostrum.
There, sitting Dong Wen, general manager of Flash Star Club.
※※※
When the team took the lead, Dong Wen stood up from his seat and applauded the audience.
At this moment, he seemed to have something in his mind and turned back to look at the box at the rear right of him.
But he quickly withdrew his gaze and continued to look at Hu Lai, who was celebrating the goal on the field, with a smile on his face.
