In this way, Hu Lai became Junpei Morikawa's guide at Anton Shining Stars, helping him adapt to life and training in the team.
After training in the morning, he took Junpei Morikawa to the cafeteria for dinner.
Morikawa Junpei saw the authentic Mapo Tofu in the cafeteria and was very happy. He insisted on ordering one despite Hu Lai's dissuasion.
As a result, my eyes and eyes ran with tears when I ate, it was numb and spicy, and I had to drink a sip of water after eating a mouthful of rice.
Although Hu Lai and other teammates advised him not to eat it, he told Hu Lai that this was for his spiritual practice, and he was stunned to finish the authentic Mapo Tofu alone...
Then Hu Lai was criticized by Zhao Kangming who knew about it.
“No, Director Zhao... I persuaded him because he insisted on eating that thing. Why do you want to criticize me?” Hu Lai felt aggrieved.
“If I criticize him, he may not really take it seriously. But if I criticize you in front of him, that kid will restrain himself next time.” Zhao Kangming explained to Hu Lai seriously.
Hu Lai felt baffled: "What's the truth?"
"Who told you that your kid has a high status in his mind? Only if you make him feel that every move he makes can implicate you, will he truly realize his mistake."
Hu Lai frowned and chewed his teeth, and he admitted it.
This is the price of being an idol...
Then he turned around and severely criticized Morikawa Junpei. In the words of Chen Xingyi, who witnessed the incident, Hu Lai trained the Japanese players like his grandchildren.
Some teammates were worried about whether this would be bad. What if Morikawa Junpei held a grudge? After all, how much I loved Hu Lai before, I might hate Hu Lai more in the future.
Hu Lai explained this to everyone: "...you don't have to worry about this problem. I have already figured out the temper of Morikawa Junpei. This kid is just a middle school boy who has not grown up. He regards coming to play football here as a
It is a practice and experience. The stricter we are on him, the more valuable he feels that his experience is valuable, so it doesn't matter if we are strict with him."
Zhang Qinghuan understood his explanation: "I see, it's the kind of 'talking so quietly and still want to play football?'"
“Yes, yes, yes!” Hu Lai nodded repeatedly, praising Zhang Qinghuan for his expertise.
Then he took Junpei Morikawa to Zhang Qinghuan’s home.
“You stayed in the hotel well, why did you bring me to live here?” Zhang Qinghuan looked at Junpei Morikawa who was looking at the rental house curiously, and turned to protest to Hu Lai.
“You understand him!”
“I know nothing!” Zhang Qinghuan lowered his voice and cursed.
"Besides, you can't stay in a hotel forever. You always have to find a house to live in. He doesn't speak the language, he's unfamiliar with the place, and he's Japanese. Aren't you afraid of being beaten with a sack?" Hu Lai
said.
“I’m not afraid.”
“Don’t make trouble! We are all teammates, so please help if you can. Lao Wang and I really have no room, so we can’t let people sleep in the living room..."
"Didn't you say that he came here to practice? Then let him sleep on the floor. Anyway, the Japanese sleep on the floor." Zhang Qinghuan did not accept that idea.
“I applied to Director Zhao, and he agreed to live with you.” Hu Lai brought out his trump card.
Hearing that it was Director Zhao’s intention, Zhang Qinghuan rolled his eyes and had no objection.
Seeing that Zhang Qinghuan had no objection, Hu Lai walked up with a smile and said to Morikawa Junpei, who was standing there cautiously and curiously, "From today on, you will live here, and the one who lives with you is Zhang Qinghuan. I
I'm right across from you. If you need anything, it's easy to come to me..."
Zhang Qinghuan, who was behind them, heard Hu Lai speaking Japanese to Morikawa Junpei, and couldn't help but hum: "You are causing such trouble... There is no place. As long as your thinking does not slip, there are always more solutions than difficulties. You can just rent a villa."
Yes? Isn’t there a villa area near our training base? If you rent a villa, wouldn’t everyone live in it..."
As he was speaking, Hu Lai turned around and stared at him.
“What for?” he asked.
“Brother Huan, you are quite reliable sometimes!”
“What does sometimes mean?”
"You're right, we can rent a villa! It's really hard for us to continue living in this community... Uncle Qin, the concierge, has complained to me countless times. There are always little girls of unknown origin who want to break in.
Entering the community...it's all your fault!"
Zhang Qinghuan spread his hands: "It's none of my business!"
Hu Lai clapped his hands: "Then it's settled, tomorrow's training will be half a day, and we'll go look at the house in the afternoon!"
Then he turned around and said to Junpei Morikawa: "Morikawa, you stay here for now, we may have to move in a few days..."
Once he heard what Hu Lai said, Morikawa Junpei was a little nervous: "You want to leave?"
When Hu Lai saw him like this, he knew that this kid was thinking too much, so he quickly explained: "You also move with us."
Morikawa Junpei felt relieved at this moment, picked up his luggage, went to the room designated for him, and began to put his things away.
I don’t even ask where I will move to, and I don’t worry that Hu Lai will sell me.
Zhang Qinghuan saw him like this and said to Hu Lai: "I think this kid is not a middle-class kid, but a fool..."
Hu Lai rolled his eyes at Zhang Qinghuan: "Brother Huan, you have to change your habit of speaking ill of others in front of others. Let me tell you, Morikawa Junpei is studying Chinese. When the time comes, he might understand everything you say.
.Be careful that he doesn’t steal the ball for you during the game.”
Zhang Qinghuan reflexively covered her mouth: "Then let's talk behind his back from now on."
Hu Lai nodded: "Okay!"
※※※
After the training on the second day, Hu Lai, Wang Guangwei and Zhang Qinghuan took Morikawa Junpei and left without even having lunch at the base.
Chen Xingyi came up and said, "Is Morikawa inviting us to dinner? Can you take me with you?"
Hu Lai glanced at him and then at Junpei Morikawa: "Little Xingxing really has you, I didn't even think of asking Morikawa to treat me... We are going to see a house!"
“What house are you looking at? Aren’t you renting in that community and living well?”
“Isn’t it inconvenient to have one more person?” Hu Lai told Chen Xingyi about Zhang Qinghuan’s idea yesterday.
The latter became interested as soon as he heard this: “This is great, I’ll apply to join!”
“What did you join?”
“I’m applying to move here! Live with you!”
Hu Lai frowned: "Tsk, just move here if you say you want to move here? We originally planned to rent a small townhouse, four people, each with a bedroom is just right. Now that you come, we have to find a big apartment."
The rent for the villa is not the same price, alas..."
“I can share the rent!” Chen Xingyi understood instantly.
Hu Lai slapped his hand: "Then it's settled!"
Wang Guangwei: "Wait a minute, Hu Lai, where can I find the big villa?"
"Let the agency find it for us. We just need to make requests. In such a large villa area, I don't believe there is even a single-family villa... Otherwise, why would you call it a high-end community?" Hu Lai said confidently, and someone shared the rent of the villa.
, he wouldn’t mind living in a bigger house.
The five people got into the electric car purchased by Zhang Qinghuan, and Wang Guangwei drove towards the villa area four kilometers away from the training base.
※※※
When a group of people stood in front of a building with milky white marble pillars and walls, Chen Xingyi couldn't help but sigh: "I believe you when you say this is a hotel..."
The gate supported by two marble pillars extends outwards. Cars can drive directly to the gate without worrying about getting in and out of the car because it has a roof.
This shape really looks like the front door of many hotels.
The agent excitedly pointed to the villa and introduced it to everyone: "This is the largest apartment in the community, with three floors above ground and two floors underground, with eight bedrooms..."
“Eight bedrooms?” Chen Xingyi grinned beside him, and then asked the agent, “Isn’t there exactly five bedrooms?”
The agent smiled in embarrassment and shook his head: "There is really no such thing. It is either a four-bedroom townhouse or a large apartment like this... This is the main entrance. You can see that there are gardens on the left and right sides of the villa, but in fact
It also has a huge back garden...I’ll take everyone to see it.”
As he spoke, he led the way through the towering gate and walked into the main body of the villa.
Five people followed him, looking around, and then walked in.
After walking into the lobby of the villa, even Zhang Qinghuan, who had lived in a high-end apartment, couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so big!"
“It’s so big...”
“So big...”
“So big...”
"big……"
“I’ll go, is there any reply?” Zhang Qinghuan lowered his voice.
“I believe you when you say this is a high-end club...” Chen Xingyi, who was standing next to him, raised his head and looked at the splendid hall.
Wang Guangwei turned back and gave him a strange look: "Chen Xingyi, have you been to a high-end club?"
Chen Xingyi waved his hand quickly: "No, no, I haven't been there. I just heard what Brother Huan said. The decoration of the clubs that Brother Huan said is like this..."
"Chen Xingyi, what the hell are you..." Before Zhang Qinghuan finished speaking, he heard Hu Lai, who was walking in front, exclaim:
“Holy shit!”
Everyone hurriedly caught up, passed through a living room, and walked to the terrace on the other side of the villa. Then everyone looked down at the terrace and exclaimed in the same way:
“Holy shit!!!!”
What appeared in front of them was a huge rectangular lawn.
The agent saw that several guests were looking straight in the eyes. He stood nearby and said very proudly: "This is the biggest highlight of this villa, the back garden! It is 80 meters long and 40 meters wide. Such a large garden belongs entirely to this villa.
villa!"
Hu Lai withdrew his gaze and looked at him: "You call this a garden?"
“Huh?” The agent didn’t respond and didn’t know how to answer Hu Lai.
“I believe you when you say this is a football stadium...” Chen Xingyi came up.
Hu Lai patted his shoulder hard: "Okay!"
“What’s good?” Chen Xingyi grinned.
“That’s it! Then let’s turn this garden into a football field. Wouldn’t it be nice to play football in this yard when the weather is nice?” Hu Lai turned around and asked everyone.
Wang Guangwei looked at the huge lawn in front of him, imagined the scene Hu Lai said, and then smiled: "I think it's good. This way I don't have to go to the university for morning exercises. Since Brother Huan moved here,
It’s been a long time since I went to college for morning exercises..."
"What does it have to do with me?" Zhang Qinghuan complained first, and then grinned as he looked at the large green space in front of him, "Don't mention it, Hu Lai. It's a pity that such a large green space is only used as a lawn. It's still a football field.
It suits it better."
“Let me tell you, you don’t play enough football in training, so you still have to continue playing football when you go home?” Chen Xingyi asked from the side.
Hu Lai snorted: "How else do you think we have improved? Didn't you spend the time you spent in the club on training?"
"Brother Huan is the one who went to the club. I heard him say..." Chen Xingyi saw Zhang Qinghuan glaring over, and he quickly shrank his neck, "The stadium is good, the stadium is good, I agree."
Hulai turned around and asked Morikawa Junpei, who had remained silent, "How is it here?"
"Very well, Hulaisan, you have the final say! I listen to you!" Junpei Morikawa nodded and said simply, even though he was shocked by what he saw from the moment he entered the gate, and even though he hadn't gone inside carefully yet
He had seen it, but he thought that a toilet might be bigger than the single room he rented...
After everyone reached a consensus, Hu Lai finally made the decision: "That's it, let's rent it for one year!"
The agent didn’t expect them to be so straightforward: “Why don’t you go take a look inside the house?”
“Look, go and choose your own bedroom.” Hu Lai waved his hand, and everyone followed the agent into the big villa.
Then we had a frank conversation and fully exchanged opinions about who would sleep in which room and what the other rooms would be used for.
On a room with the best location, everyone had great disagreements. In the end, Hu Lai once again played the decisive role: "Auction! Whoever is willing to share more rent will have this house! Five hundred and one plus, whoever comes first
?”
Zhang Qinghuan was the first to raise his hand and said actively: "I'll add five hundred!"
The advantage of the first quotation is that anyone else's bid will be higher than his. In this way, he can successfully raise the price and escape unscathed. He can watch the fire from the other side, watch other people's jokes, and eat other people's melons. When the time comes, he will make another offer.
The fire caused other people's heads to be beaten with blood, especially that boy Chen Xingyi, he must be trapped to death!
Just when Zhang Qinghuan was thinking about what he wanted, he heard Hu Lai raise his hand and say: "I abstain!"
Then Wang Guangwei also raised his hand: "I also abstain."
Chen Xingyi: "Abstaining, abstaining, I abstain."
Morikawa Junpei: "Wow wow..."
Hulai: "Morikawa said he also abstained."
Then he slapped his hand hard: "Congratulations to Brother Xi for getting the right to live in this bedroom!"
“Okay! Congratulations, brother!” Chen Xingyi took the lead in applauding.
“Congratulations, brother, congratulations, brother!” Wang Guangwei followed.
Even though Junpei Morikawa couldn't understand what everyone said, seeing them clapping so happily, he clapped along with him and tried his best to put on a smile on his face, trying to keep up with their rhythm.
Zhang Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then pointed at Hu Lai and said: "Hu Lai, what the hell..."
Hu Lai didn't wait for him to finish speaking, but held the hand he pointed at her with both hands: "Congratulations to brother Huan, I will give you the best room, which shows how high your status is in our hearts! Let me tell you, Huan
Brother, you have to treat us, you must treat us, otherwise it won’t be justified! We love you so much, don’t let the people who love you down!”
Zhang Qinghuan opened his mouth to speak, but after seeing Hu Lai's sincere face, he still sighed: "I really didn't expect you to cheat even five hundred..."
In this way, after a "fierce" bidding, Zhang Qinghuan finally won the right to occupy this bedroom that faces south and has the widest view.
The villa is fully decorated and comes with a full set of furniture and appliances, and is fully ready for move-in.
But considering that they needed to renovate the lawn and turn it into a small football field, Hu Lai and the others agreed with the agency to wait a month before moving here, and asked them to find a construction team to level the land, lay natural turf, and install goals and barbed wire.
of.
Of course Hu Lai and the others paid for this money, but for every successful professional player, this amount of money is not a problem at all.
※※※
The next day, Xia Xiaoyu came to find Hu Lai: "Brother Hu, Brother Hu, I heard that you rented a villa outside?"
“Yes. I just found it yesterday.”
“Here...Brother Hu, if we rent together, can you bring me one?”
Before Hu Lai could say anything, Chen Xingyi jumped out: "Oh, this..."
He was interrupted by Xia Xiaoyu as soon as he started: "Of course I will pay whatever the rent is!"
Zhang Qinghuan came up and said, "I have a bedroom here with perfect lighting and ventilation. If you increase the price by one thousand per month, this bedroom will be yours, Xiaoyu!"
Hu Lai blocked him: "That won't work. Brother Huan, you are the oldest among us. You have to respect your elders. The room is in such good condition, so of course you have to live in it."
Then he looked at Xia Xiaoyu: "Xiaoyu, it's not that I don't want to, but there is a very practical trouble now. You see, there were five of us, and Brother Huan's car just happened to sit down. Here you go.
After that, there were six people, and this car couldn’t fit in..."
Xia Xiaoyu laughed when he heard Hu Lai say this: "That's okay, Brother Hu, I happen to have a car here, and I can still drive."
“Ah?” Hu Lai was surprised.
"Didn't I get promoted to the first team? My dad gave me the car he drove before as a gift. You see, we have two cars now, and six people can sit in them." Xia Xiaoyu said, patting his chest.
.
Hu Lai put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "Perfect! Welcome to join us!"
