Because he had rested on the plane, Lin Cheng woke up at around nine o'clock in the morning.
The others were still sleeping. The first thing Lin Cheng did when he got up was to feed the cats outside the base.
I took the cat food and stood next to the cats' shelter, and soon a group of familiar figures gathered around me.
"Brothers, let's eat!"
After greeting the cats familiarly, Lin Cheng took out the food bowls with the cats' photos on them and set them on the ground, then poured the cat food one by one.
The cats did not fight over each other. They squatted next to their own small food bowls, waiting for Lin Cheng to pour cat food into their bowls and immediately immersed themselves in the food.
Squatting down and watching these guys wolfing down their food, Lin Cheng felt inexplicably being healed.
Cats are still simple-minded, and they feel very happy when they have food to eat.
On the contrary, there are all kinds of worries and disturbances in being a human being.
As Eunuch Cao said, when people are hungry, their only worry is not having enough to eat, but once they are full, more desires and worries will arise.
To sum up, people who live such a tiring life mostly do so because they are full.
This is not entirely true, but it makes sense.
The tabby tiger who was very clingy to Lin Cheng found that his rice bowl was too far away from Lin Cheng. He buried his head in the food bowl and plowed it like a bulldozer. Then he raised his head and meowed towards Lin Cheng, as if seeking praise.
Lin Cheng reached out and touched its head. Tabby didn't care about eating and rubbed Lin Cheng's hand vigorously.
At this time, a black Mercedes-Benz slowly stopped next to it.
They were very close, only two or three meters away from Lin Cheng.
Lin Cheng frowned. The cat shelter was at the corner of the alley outside the club. The alley was so small that the car almost blocked the entrance of the alley when it stopped.
Lin Cheng raised his head and was about to say that parking was not allowed here when he saw the person in the car window clearly.
"Hey! Representative An is still coming to work today? You usually play cards or watch movies. Why are you so diligent now during the offseason?"
An Haosheng was speechless.
After all, I am the manager of the club. In your eyes, I am just a bastard who fishes at work, right?
"I came here specifically to find you."
An Haosheng said as he opened the car door and got out.
Lin Cheng probably guessed what he meant, still squatting on the ground and watching the cats doing their work.
"Why does Representative An still drive a Mercedes-Benz? Our sponsor has Porsche, so it's not too much for you to ask them for a car, right?"
"Porsche won't let me drive the car. If I want to drive it, I'll drive it for you."
An Haosheng joked and squatted down next to him.
One is wearing pajamas and the other is in a suit and leather shoes, squatting together and watching the cat cook. This style of painting is a bit strange.
Lin Cheng lowered his head, "Actually, I know what Representative An wants to say when he comes to me, but you know... I really want to participate in the Asian Games. This may be my only chance to represent the national team."
An Haosheng nodded, "I understand your concerns, but I think these are all solvable problems."
"All you are worried about is that the epidemic will hinder the schedule during the Asian Games, but what if these are not problems?"
An Haosheng stared at Lin Cheng closely, as if he was looking at a peerless beauty.
"How to deal with it?"
Lin Cheng became interested, but An Haosheng betrayed his interest.
"You like watching football, right? Football club events and national team events actually conflict in some aspects."
"You mean..."
As an old football fan, Lin Cheng immediately understood what An Haosheng meant.
Take the World Cup as an example.
When the World Cup is approaching, many big-name stars will start paddling in the club and work hard on the field to ensure that they are not injured and prepare for the World Cup.
In addition, there is a rather special situation.
Some superstars will have a special clause in signing contracts with clubs during the World Cup year, that is: before the World Cup starts, the club allows players to leave the team early.
This is obviously what An Shenghao means.
Seeing that Lin Cheng understood, An Haosheng nodded, "It's still early before the Asian Games, and we don't know the schedule, let alone the Chinese team's training arrangements, but if there is really a need then, the club can turn down all clubs
You will be asked to leave early during the event."
After a pause, he looked serious, "Even during the game."
Lin Cheng was moved.
You know, League of Legends is not a football game.
The football club plays in a league, and it doesn't matter even if the star player misses a few games. Although the LCK is said to be a league, the competition system in the playoffs is actually a cup.
According to various sources, the Asian Games schedule will most likely be after the LCK Summer Split.
The Asian Games are sandwiched between the Summer Games and the World Championships, so time will definitely be very tight.
If the domestic epidemic prevention policy is still the same, if Lin Cheng does not want to do something special, he will need to return to the country for isolation at least half a month before the start of the national team training.
This means that if the club really releases him, Lin Cheng will most likely miss the LCK summer playoffs.
Including finals.
Lin Cheng never thought that the club could achieve this level.
Putting aside the World Championship, the most important part of a season is the LCK playoff games. Who will KT let him go to play?
Mr. Kang Dongxun is warming up?
Or should the second team bring someone in to take the lead?
After all, football is a sport of 11 people, and the impact of temporarily replacing one or two players may not be too great, but League of Legends only has 5 people, and it is possible for the team to directly change from a championship team to a weak team as soon as the core of the team is changed.
It can be said that An Haosheng's proposal was truly sincere.
But Lin Cheng was a little confused.
He can do this, but it will hurt the fans.
After all, you are paid by the club, so what will the fans think if you are absent at the most critical time?
Even football superstars like Messi and Ronaldo will most likely be scolded by club fans if they leave the team early for the World Cup.
On a more serious note, fans can question his professionalism.
Seeing Lin Cheng's changing expression, An Haosheng said nothing and turned his head to watch the cat cook in silence.
After a while, Lin Cheng sighed.
"Isn't this too cruel to the fans? If it's because of me..."
"You don't have to think too much. They are more willing to let you stay in this way than to lose you."
An Haosheng smiled and said, "You don't know, your transfer rumors have been flying all over the sky recently, and fans send threats every day, saying that if I don't keep you, they will rush to the club and hack me to death."
After a pause, An Haosheng pointed to the open buttons on his cuffs.
"Look! In order to come to see you, I went out without even putting on my clothes."
Lin Cheng was also happy.
He came back in the middle of the night, and An Haosheng came to find him, and it was indeed obvious that he was in a hurry.
But this time, Lin Cheng still did not give a positive response.
"I know you are in a hurry! But don't be anxious yet."
"I'm going to enjoy my vacation now. I don't want to think about contract renewal for the time being. You can talk to my agent about the specific situation."
