"We have arrived at the plum blossom hall of the 'Shuzhong Dajiang' on the 3rd floor of Greenland Colorful Square."

Qiu Hao, who had just got off the bus, saw the WeChat message sent by Chen Xiaoxi, glanced at the upper right corner of the mobile phone screen, at 11:09. There were still twenty-one minutes left before the agreed time, and the other party had arrived in advance.

Although Qiu Hao has not been in Nantong many times, he has heard of the name "Shuzhong Dajiang" that the Sichuan cuisine made in this restaurant is famous for its good taste and is famous for its high level.

Fortunately, I have been able to play games recently and score goals. If this is not the case, I will have to eat lunch boxes for the rest of the month after the meal!

Although it was an invitation from Chen Xiaoxi, Qiu Hao's face was not as thick as he could ask the two ladies to pay.

After entering the elevator in the mall, during the brief period when the elevator was running upwards, Qiu Hao transferred 5,000 yuan from the bank card and entered Alipay. After the elevator reached the third floor, he thought about it and then transferred 5,000 yuan to Alipay.

I felt that Qiu Hao was "steady" and headed straight to the "Shuzhong Dajiang" restaurant. Although he felt a little painful, if he knew in advance that Chen Xiaoxi would book a meal here, Qiu Hao probably would have a high chance of refusing.

After all, income is limited!

But now I can only bite my teeth and go to bed!

After entering the restaurant, I reported the private room number, and the waiter led the way in to a private room with couplets hanging on both sides of the door. As the waiter knocked on the door, Qiu Hao looked at the couplets on both sides of the door-

"The sparse shadows slant across the water, and the faint fragrance floats at dusk."

Qiu Hao has never seen this poem, but the word "anxiang" reminds him of a song he had heard - Sha Baoliang's "anxiang". He doesn't remember what the lyrics are sung or the rhythm of the song, but he only remembers these two words very deeply.

"Please come in." That's right, Qiu Hao sounded like Chen Xiaoxi's voice.

The waiter opened the door and walked in with his legs raised his legs. The first thing Qiu Hao saw was Chen Xiaoxi, who was holding the menu next to her... but it was not Chen Nanxiang!

Not only is she not Chen Nanxiang, she is actually a middle-aged man!

To be honest, Qiu Hao still hopes to see that beautiful aunt. How can any man not like to see beautiful women? Besides, Chen Nanxiang is so unique. He is beautiful, looks generous, and feels very intellectual...

For a young man like Qiu Hao who is just in his early twenties, a female image like Chen Nanxiang is almost the perfect lover in their minds. The gap between age and identity... is not a problem. If Chen Xiaoxi had not accidentally let go of the day, and Qiu Hao happened to learn that Chen Nanxiang already had a fiancé, he might have become another suitor to the other party.

Even so, Qiu Hao is still willing to meet this beautiful aunt.

But it was strange that when Qiu Hao walked into the private room and saw the middle-aged man, he felt a little familiar. He seemed to have seen it somewhere?

The middle-aged man who was ordering food with his head down just looked up and looked at Qiu Hao, smiled and nodded to say hello.

"Qiu Hao!" Seeing Qiu Hao, Chen Xiaoxi's face first showed a surprise expression, and then he was a little proud, "I didn't expect that I would go back to Nantong so soon!"

"No." Qiu Haoqiang covered his loss in his heart and replied with a smile.

"I went to watch your game last night, but I didn't expect... Oh," Chen Xiaoxi, who spoke like a cannon, seemed to suddenly remember something, "Hao Qiu, let me introduce it to you..."

Chen Xiaoxi just stood up, and the middle-aged man's name suddenly jumped out of Qiu Hao's mind-

Liu Chao!

This is a legendary figure in the history of Chinese football in nearly 20 or 30 years - he was once the best young player in Shandong Luneng Taishan. He was selected for the national team at the age of 20 and represented the national team in the 1996 Asian Cup as the main player. He also played an incorrect personal performance against Saudi Arabia in that Asian Cup quarter-finals. In the end, China was reversed to 3:4 with two goals lead. Due to accusation and abuse by a large number of fans after the game, he announced his withdrawal from the national team at the age of 21 after that Asian Cup.

After the "Asian Cup incident", Liu Chao's career was also greatly affected. After leaving Shandong Luneng Taishan, he transferred to Yunnan Hongta, Chongqing Lifan and Shanghai Shenhua, until he announced his retirement after playing for Shenhua for three years.

"Hello! I am Liu Chao." Liu Chao, who handed the menu to the waiter, stood up and stretched out his hand to Qiu Hao.

This proactive action more or less eliminated the original displeasure in Qiu Hao's heart.

"I've seen you play football." Qiu Hao shook hands with the other party. Although he felt that he might not take his name seriously as an opponent, there is a saying that goes, "Don't hit people with smiley faces," Qiu Hao continued, "You played football at that time much higher than our current level."

This sentence is not Qiu Hao perfunctory, but he really thinks so. Think about it, at that time, the Chinese team, South Korea and Japan in East Asia, Saudi Arabia and Iran in West Asia, can all compete with each other. The current national team may not necessarily win even if they meet Thailand and Malaysia...

"Now..." As for the Chinese men's national football team, any normal Chinese fans will think that the group of players twenty years ago is the strongest since the launch of the Chinese Football Professional League. As a Lili person, Liu Chao is no exception. "I am improving! Lippi has played well in several games in coaching!"

"Do you know each other?" Chen Xiaoxi, who was standing beside him, looked at Qiu Hao and Liu Chao with his eyes wide open.

"Brother Liu is an old senior in the football circle, how could he not know him?" Qiu Hao asked loudly on purpose. Although there were not many dinners, he did not understand human relationships at all, and he still had to say what he should say!

Of course, saying a few good words that are just right is his limit. He will not ask for a group photo and autograph just because the other party is a celebrity. Not to mention that the other party is a Chinese player, even if Messi and Ronaldo appear in front of Qiu Hao at this moment, he will not do that either!

Nothing else, it’s because he is also a football player, and he also has his own pride!

"Some white or yellow, why don't you bring some beer?" Liu Chao asked calmly.

“I don’t drink.”

"It's rare. Today I'll give you a face, just one cup!"

"I'm really sorry, I really don't drink." Qiu Hao has never had a good impression of the "warm-speaking culture" at the table. Liu Chao's "passion" reminded him of the legend of the old group of players staying in the world.

"Uncle Liu, don't you never drink alcohol?"

Chen Xiaoxi's words almost woke up the dreamer. Qiu Hao was so excited. He had just sat down and suddenly looked up at Liu Chao, but he didn't expect that the other party was also looking at him.

"Are you interested in coming to Shenhua to play football?"

The restaurant dishes were not served yet, but another "big dish" was "super" by Liu Chao in advance!

Judging from the other party's eyes that did not dodge at all, this is not a joke!
Chapter completed!
