Li Yuhua put down the phone helplessly, and then shook her head to her husband Chang Xiangyang next to her: "No one answered yet. It should be noon in Spain at this time, maybe he won't go back at noon..."
"Then let's wait until the evening to fight." Chang Xiangyang said in a deep voice.

After the afternoon training, Chang Sheng was called directly to Aunt Maria's house and had a sumptuous dinner before returning to her home with a full burp.
While he was still taking out the keys at the door, he heard the continuous ringing of the phone in the house.
He seemed to be getting more and more anxious from time to time.
He pushed open the door, rushed directly to the phone, and then grabbed it: "Hello?"
The next second it was replaced by a surprised question: "Mom? Why are you calling me so late?"
In the summer, the time difference between Spain and Beijing is six hours. At this time, it is already 9:30 pm local time in Spain. When converted to Beijing time, it is 3:30 am the next day!
Could he not be surprised when he received a call from his mother at 3:30?
"Where have you been?" Mom asked on the phone.
"I just came back from dinner..."
"What time is dinner over in Spain?"
"Eight to eight-thirty in the evening...it's only half-nine now. But it's already late at night over there, right?"
Li Yuhua did not continue to answer Chang Sheng's question, but asked: "Have you been interviewed by Chinese reporters recently?"
Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then said: "No, I have been in Getafe for more than a year and I haven't seen a single Chinese person. Where did the Chinese reporter come from?"
"Really?" Mom asked as if she was still worried.
"Really not." Chang Sheng replied firmly, and then asked strangely: "Mom, you waited until midnight to call me just to ask me about this?"
"That's right, Shitou. Have you heard of Sports Weekly?"
"Of course I've heard of it, it's the largest professional sports newspaper in circulation in China. What's wrong?" It's impossible that Chang Sheng hasn't heard of this name. He used to be a loyal reader of "Sports Weekly" from high school to college.
, he has bought "Sports Weekly" for many years, and he must buy every issue of the football magazine "Football Weekly" they later published. Before the Internet fully emerged, "Sports Weekly" and "Football Weekly"
Weekly is the channel for him as a fan to learn about European football.
But later on, China's Internet became more and more developed. Reports on various portal websites were much faster than those of newspapers published every three times a week, so he gradually stopped buying them.
"They say you are a liar and are cheating in Spain!"
"What?" Chang Sheng thought he heard wrongly. Long-distance calls sometimes have some noise due to signal problems, which is not very clear.
"They said you didn't have a formal coaching certificate at all and you deceived the Spaniards to become the head coach!" Li Yuhua said again.
This time Chang Sheng was sure that he heard correctly.
"Holy shit..." He couldn't help but uttered a curse word.
He suddenly felt that his brain was not enough - where did "Sports Weekly" learn that I was a liar? I haven't even seen the reporter from "Sports Weekly"!
"What's going on, Mom?"
"I don't know either. Today... no, yesterday your aunt came to the yard and said you were a liar. I went to find her. Then he showed me the newspaper. That's what it said in the newspaper."
"Mom, do you believe I am a liar?" Chang Sheng asked.
"Of course I don't believe it." Li Yuhua answered quickly. This answer has always been in her mind. "Your father doesn't believe it either."
Chang Sheng smiled. This was the first time he laughed today after receiving this call.
If my parents believe in me, that's better than anything else.
There is nothing more painful than not even the people closest to you believe in yourself.

After hanging up the phone, Li Yuhua said to her husband Chang Xiangyang, who had been listening on the sidelines: "Confirmed, the reporter from that newspaper has not interviewed his son."
"So they made it up?" Chang Xiangyang asked.
"Yes, I made it up." Li Yuhua nodded.
"This is too abominable! They are reporters. How can reporters be so irresponsible?" Chang Xiangyang was a little angry.
This matter is related to his son's reputation. It doesn't matter if the old couple is laughed at by others. If his son is slandered and liar, how can he hold his head high in front of others in the future?
"What did my son say?" he asked again.
"He told us not to worry about it, and he would find someone to handle it," Li Yuhua said.
"How could you ignore it? He is our son." Upon hearing this, Chang Xiangyang frowned and was dissatisfied.
Li Yuhua nodded: "I mean the same thing, so I plan to find someone tomorrow to find out what to do about this kind of thing. My second sister's lover is a lawyer, so there should be a way."
Chang Xiangyang nodded: "Okay, I'll call her early tomorrow morning. Let's go and rest now. It's almost dawn."
※※※
Although they said they were going to rest, in fact, neither Chang Xiangyang nor Li Yuhua really fell asleep.
They were almost lying on the bed counting down the seconds.
I got up from bed at around six o'clock.
If it weren't for the fact that she hadn't gotten up yet, Li Yuhua would have wanted to call her second sister right now.
After finally staying up until after seven o'clock, she couldn't wait to make a long-distance call.
Li Yuhua is not a local, she married outside, so she has no relatives here. Her brothers, sisters and parents are all in another city thousands of miles away.
After getting through the phone call, when the other party heard that something had happened to his nephew, he seemed very enthusiastic and forced his husband to stay when he was about to leave for work. He then patiently explained and explained to Li Yuhua, who knew little about the law.
Half an hour later, Li Yuhua hung up the phone.
Then she said to her husband who came out of the kitchen wearing an apron: "I'm going to file a lawsuit. Sue that newspaper for infringing on my son's reputation and spreading rumors and defamation."
When she said this, her tone was calm, but her attitude was firm.
Chang Xiangyang was not surprised. He wiped his hands on the towel, then nodded and said, "I'll ask for leave for you."

Chang Sheng thought about it all night, how he could read that weird report saying that he was a liar.
But he found it difficult.
At this time, "Sports Weekly" did not have an online electronic version, so it was not available online. In addition, there was no place to buy this newspaper in Spain. I asked my parents to send the newspaper and I didn't know when.
Yes, the fax arrived quickly, but the time difference between the two parties made their time always inconsistent, which was also very troublesome.
Just like that, Chang Sheng, who thought about it all night but couldn't come up with a solution, went to training as usual the next day.
But he always worried about this matter in his heart.
He was puzzled. He had not offended any Chinese journalists or Chinese media. His enemies in Spain should all be Spanish media and journalists. What would happen if a Chinese journalist suddenly appeared?
What's the matter?
And it's "Sports Weekly". This is China's largest-selling professional sports newspaper. You don't have to use such despicable means to increase its popularity, right?
So he simply couldn't understand how he got into such a mess.
Although I don’t understand it, the problem still needs to be solved.
He actually doesn't worry about what others think of him, especially those far away in China. Anyway, they are incomparable to him.
If they think they are liars, then that's fine. They don't make a living by pleasing them.
What he is most worried about is his parents. If Sports Weekly does this, his parents will definitely be embarrassed in front of colleagues and neighbors.
This is what you care about most!
It was that damn aunt who did it again... Damn it!
Chang Sheng now wished he could fly back and slap his aunt in front of her face.
Unfortunately this is not realistic.

After training, there were reporters outside interviewing the players.
There is no regular press conference today, so reporters who want to know the latest information can only do this interview.
There is no fixed location for the interview, it can be on the side of the training ground or outside the parking lot.
Chang Sheng was about to leave when he saw Carlos Mediano walking towards him.
"Chang. "Getafe Local Life" newspaper plans to interview you exclusively. Let me ask if you can arrange it?"
Chang Sheng nodded: "Of course. You are my first allies, what's wrong with this?"
To be honest, this is the first time he has been interviewed since he came to this world...
But wait!
Chang Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up.
Then he said to Mediano solemnly: "Can I trust you completely, Carlos?"
Carlos Mediano didn't understand why Chang Sheng suddenly asked this question so seriously.
He nodded: "Of course you can trust me completely, Chang. Have you encountered any trouble?"
"Well, actually... it's really a bit troublesome... Well, I'll treat you to dinner and we'll talk slowly."
※※※
Egg Hash Brown Bar, this is Mediano's second time here.
The last time he was here he reached a cooperation agreement with Chang Sheng.
Now here, he has to help Chang Sheng solve a personal problem. This problem is a bit troublesome and may not be easy to solve.
But Mediano didn't shirk it just because he found it troublesome.
On the contrary, he felt that he had to help Chang Sheng no matter what.
Because this will allow him and Chang Sheng to become true friends.
This is the most important.
Like Getafe president Flores, Mediano now sees the potential in a winning streak.
He doesn't know whether this person will become the head coach of Getafe in the future, but no matter where he is, it will always do him no harm to maintain a good relationship with him.
"If we just send a letter to the Chinese media in the name of Getafe Club, I don't think the problem can be solved..." Chang Sheng was talking about his considerations to Mediano.
"Actually, I don't care what the newspapers say about me. Because they can't hurt me a hair, just like the Spanish media can't hurt me. But my parents are ordinary people, and they will definitely be affected by this matter.
… I want to minimize the impact this has on them. I don’t want their colleagues and neighbors to laugh at them. Do you understand, Carlos?”
After listening to this, Carlos Mediano thought for a while and then said to Chang Sheng: "Okay, just leave this matter alone, Chang. I promise to help you get this done!"
Seeing that the other party agreed so simply, Chang Sheng quickly said: "Thank you..."
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Carlos Mediano's loud laughter: "Thank you for what? I am the one who should say thank you, Chang! It's all because of Getafe's achievements today.
Thanks to your contribution, we have changed many coaches before this, but we have never had such good results! You are Getafe's best hope now. So I am not only helping you, I am also helping Getafe.
You are the coach of Getafe, you cannot be distracted, your problems are my problems, and I will definitely help you solve them!"
"Then I'll wait for your good news, Carlos."
"Don't worry, I won't come back until the solution is resolved!" Mediano said confidently.
Chang Sheng was so lucky that he didn’t spit out a sip of wine...
