When Hu Lai came home, the first thing his mother said was to ask him: "Why are you back?"
Hu Lai's head was filled with questions: "Shouldn't I come back?"
"No...you came back without dinner?"
"I won't have dinner. When I went out, I said I would only have lunch..."
Xie Lan thought for a while, and it seemed that this was the case. She nodded and asked, "Are you still going out tomorrow?"
"Don't go out, I'll be at home tomorrow."
After Hu Lai said this, he found that his mother was still a little disappointed.
Why is she disappointed?
"It's okay." Xie Lan forced a smile, "You can go out if you want, don't worry about us. Now you are no longer the high school student you were back then. You are financially independent. You can do whatever you want, and your parents won't care about you.
"
Hu Lai was surprised: "Mom, people say that parents will get bored if their children stay home for a week. But I have only been back for two days..."
"Ahem, what are you talking about?" Xie Lan glared at his son. "I'm afraid you'll be bored at home all day long. You have nothing to do at home, why don't you go out more and hang out? Where are your high school classmates?"
"They have all gone to college and haven't had a holiday yet. I have to leave before they have a holiday," Hu Lai said.
"Oh, then your coach..."
"I went to see him yesterday."
"You can go again after seeing it. Who said you can only see the coach once? I need to treat your coach to more meals. He is very kind to you... By the way, training, otherwise you train with the school team
Right? You can also maintain your condition... Is that what you say? You see, you won’t be able to train when you come back. You will eat haese all day long. If you don’t train, you will gain weight. When you return to the team, you won’t be afraid of your coach Zhao.
We won't let you play in the game? Now you can go to the school team to train and stay in shape. After training, we can invite your school team coach to dinner. How great!" Xie Lan said this much in one breath.
Hu Lai was confused: "Mom, do you not want me anymore?"
"What nonsense!"
"Then why are you driving me out? I've just entered the house, and I haven't even changed my shoes yet. You're already thinking about me going out every day..."
Xie Lan also realized that he seemed a little impatient, and quickly explained: "Isn't this for your own good? Your mother is worried about your future..."
"Mom, I know. I have my own sense of discretion. Don't worry."
"Then you really won't go out tomorrow?"
Hu Lai couldn't laugh or cry: "I won't go out! Tomorrow is Saturday, the school will not be in class, the school team will not be training, and I won't go anywhere. Can't I just sleep in at home?"
"Oh, tomorrow is Saturday... ok, ok, let's talk about it on Monday..."
Hu Lai was too lazy to tell his mother because he didn't know what she had done wrong today.
He changed his shoes and went to wash his hands.
Xie Lan looked at his son's back and frowned.

Because of the World Cup, the Chinese Super League also ended nearly a month earlier than in previous years.
Chen Xingyi was packing his luggage in his room, preparing to return home to Tangdu with his father.
After packing his luggage, he walked out and looked at his father who was still busy packing boxes in the living room.
"Have you packed everything?" Chen Hantang asked without raising his head.
"Well, it's all packed up." Chen Xingyi hesitated for a moment, then said to his father, "Dad, I don't want to play here anymore next season."
Chen Hantang raised his head and looked at his son, and then said: "I went to see Xue Chaoyu today during the day and expressed dissatisfaction with your situation in the first team. General Manager Xue also understands you, and he promises to give you more information next season."
Lots of opportunities to play..."
Chen Xingyi shook his head: "It's not that I don't believe what General Manager Xue said, but I don't believe that he can persuade Director Wang to change his coaching style."
Hearing what his son said, Chen Hantang was speechless.
The so-called coaching style of Coach Wang is, of course, to reuse star players and mature players instead of young players.
After all, Wang Xianke wants to produce results immediately, so of course he must use a mature lineup.
After he came to Dashun Golden Arrow, the club spent huge sums of money to purchase many domestic and foreign star players to form a luxurious lineup. After running in last season, he led this luxurious lineup to sweep the league and win this season's championship.
Chinese Super League champion.
Let Dashun Golden Arrow win the Chinese Super League championship trophy again after six seasons.
Results are the best proof of Wang Xianke’s coaching style.
In this context, it is indeed impossible for Wang Xianke to change his accustomed coaching style just to give young people like Chen Xingyi more opportunities to play.
In other words, the more successful Wang Xianke is at Golden Arrow, the more bleak Chen Xingyi’s future will be here.
When he chose Golden Arrow for his son, it was because of Golden Arrow's grand plan to rebuild the domestic football hegemony, and he felt that his son could have a place in this plan.
Now it seems that I thought too well.
Golden Arrow does have a grand plan, but in this grand plan, his son is obviously dispensable.
Xue Chaoyu may not have lied to himself. His son Chen Xingyi is indeed an important member of Golden Arrow's future plans.
But it’s hard to say how far into the future this “future” actually refers…
Today's Dashun Golden Arrow has two current international players of the Chinese team, one current international player of Israel, and one current international player of Uruguay in the midfield and frontcourt. It can be said to be a national football lineup.
Chen Hantang felt ridiculous for his son to compete with these people.
Thinking of this, he asked Chen Xingyi: "Then what do you want to do?"
"I want to apply for a loan." Chen Xingyi had obviously already planned. "No matter which team I go to, I have one requirement - to ensure that I play a lot of games, and not just in garbage time. I am good at making up the numbers. Regarding this point of the contract
It should be clearly written in black and white and cannot be denied."
"This..." Chen Hantang frowned. He knew what his son's request meant. Because the Chinese Super League has a U23 policy, there is no shortage of playing opportunities, but it is hard to say if it is not garbage time... many teams In order to cope with the regulations of the Football Association, young players are either allowed to play in the last few minutes of the game, or young players are brought on for a few minutes and then taken off again...
Not only does his son not want to play in garbage time, but he also wants it written into the contract. Which club is willing to do it?
"If it doesn't work in the Chinese Super League, it can work in the Chinese Premier League." Chen Xingyi knew what his father was struggling with.
"Going to China League One?" Chen Hantang was a little surprised, as if he had thought of something.
"Well, Wang Guangwei and Hu Lai are very successful in the Chinese League One team Flash Star, because the Chinese League One team does not have a U23 policy, and they are more willing to give young players opportunities to play."
"Medium A..." Chen Hantang repeated the word, and then nodded: "Okay, I'll call Xue Chaoyu tomorrow and convey your opinions to him. Let's see what he says."

In the general manager's office of Hedong Thunder and Lightning Club, general manager Wang Shoude is saying to Luo Kai: "Well, Luo Kai, you are a very talented young man. So after research, the club has decided to loan you out for training next season. I hope you can Keep working hard and don’t let down the club’s expectations of you!”
When Luo Kai heard what the general manager said, he raised his head in surprise and looked at general manager Wang Shoude.
Seeing him like this, Wang Shoude smiled: "Don't worry, Luo Kai. The club is very optimistic about your future and talent. But you have also seen that it is indeed difficult for you to have a place in the first team..."
Luo Kai lowered his head again.
This season he played a total of twelve times for the Hedong Thunder first team, none of which was a starter. The longest time in a single game was thirty minutes, and other times he played for more than ten minutes or even a few minutes.
These twelve appearances are not only in the league, but also in the FA Cup.
In these playing times, he did not score a single goal or assist.
It can be said that there is no performance at all.
It seems difficult to justify staying in the first team with such a performance...
He cannot stay in the first team. If he is asked to return to the youth team or to the reserve team, he himself will not be happy.
But if you can only accept rental...
Thinking of this, Luo Kai raised his head again and said to the general manager: "Can the club loan me to a Chinese League One team?"
"Chinese League One team?" Wang Shoude was a little surprised, but he quickly figured out why Luo Kai chose China League One.
Obviously, Chinese League One clubs have more opportunities to play.
"From the Chinese Super League to the Chinese Premier League...that's okay." Wang Shoude nodded.
Luo Kai then stood up, said goodbye to the general manager, and then walked out of the office.
He looked in the direction of the empty training ground and clenched his fists.
