Chang Sheng didn't expect that imitating Lei Feng to save others would have such benefits, and he immediately felt that good people are indeed rewarded.
After the training, he was quickly surrounded by the media. This time, everyone didn't ask him about the team's training, but asked him about the rescue last night.
"What's there to ask? Didn't you all see it yesterday?" Chang Sheng asked back.
"But we didn't hear it, Chang! We want to know what you said to him to make him finally give up his plan to seek death?"
"It's a long story... Anyway, I just told him that Getafe managed to avoid relegation even under impossible circumstances. Is there anything else you can't overcome?" Chang Sheng spread his hands and said.
The reporters all laughed.
They are all local media in Getafe, so they are so interested in this matter. Media in other places will not care about this. There are too many people who commit suicide, and they cannot care about it.
Therefore, it can be said that these reporters all have a very good impression of Chang Sheng. When they heard that Chang Sheng used Getafe's inspirational performance last season to convince a suicidal person, these local journalists from Getafe were a little proud, and they also
I won’t doubt the authenticity of what Chang Sheng said.
In their view, Getafe's performance in the last ten league rounds of last season was indeed inspirational, but they did not expect that it could bring a man who was bent on death to a new life. They are also very proud.
Although this is the result of constant victory, they have a sense of honor that they can win all the time.
This is the pride of Getafe football!

After Chang Sheng had dealt with the local reporters with whom he had good relations, he returned to his home. But before entering the apartment door, as usual, he signed autographs and took photos with the fans waiting outside the apartment, fully satisfying everyone.
After fans requested it, he was able to enter the apartment lobby.
But as soon as he entered the apartment door, Lemon shouted: "Chang! You are finally back. Someone is looking for you..."
Before he finished speaking, a man came out from behind Lemon, carrying a suitcase and smiling at Chang Sheng.
Chang Sheng was surprised. Isn't this the man he rescued from the rooftop yesterday?!
I still recognize the clothes he's wearing.
"Huh? Why are you here?" Chang Sheng asked in surprise.
"I'm here to promote myself, Chang. I think you need a professional to help you handle some business contracts. In other words, you need an agent. Chang." Kate Gracie said with a smile, recovering.
His politeness seemed to have nothing to do with the poor guy who had reached the end of his rope last night.
"Me? Agent? Ha!" Chang Sheng laughed out loud.
"Have you not realized your commercial value yet, Chang?" Kate Gracie was not annoyed or discouraged, but continued to persuade.
"What commercial value do I have?" Chang Sheng asked.
"I just chatted with Lemon here for a while, and he told you that he is very popular. He is probably the most popular person in the entire Getafe area."
Lemon next to him said with a grimace: "I just praised you to him, Chang. I promise that I will never reveal any of your privacy..."
"Of course, Lemon doesn't need to disclose it. Because a lot of your stuff has been reported in the media. If you're interested, you can always find it." Kate Gracie took out a few newspapers from her suitcase, "This is what I came here for today.
I bought a few newspapers on the way. Most of them were local newspapers in Getafe, and two were newspapers in Madrid. But without exception, they all mentioned you. The newspapers in Getafe were talking about it.
You saved my story. And the newspapers in Madrid are focusing on you and your team."
"The investigation was thorough." Chang Sheng nodded, unable to tell whether he expressed appreciation or indifference in his tone.
"Then just now I noticed a lot of fans outside the apartment building. These people have been here since early, and then you showed up, signed autographs for them, and took photos with them. This shows that you are in the eyes of Getafe fans, but
It has a very high status.”
"Is this what you call commercial value?" Chang Sheng asked.
"Yes. This is business value."
"Ha! Then what should I do? I charge five euros for each person who comes to me for an autograph? Ten euros for a photo?" Chang Sheng smiled with some disdain.
"Of course not. But if you are famous enough, it is not extraordinary to ask every reporter who interviews you to pay. But it is small money." Kate Gracie said. "The real big money is your own value.
.Haven’t you noticed that so much media is paying attention to you, which in itself is a resource that can be utilized?”
When Gracie said this, a thought flashed in Chang Sheng's mind.
The last time the Chinese media tormented his parents, he felt that he still lacked strength and did not have enough money to make his parents live a better life.
From that time on, he felt that he needed money very much, but he was no longer professional enough in how to make money.
Later, for this reason, he buried the matter deeply in his heart, devoted himself to work, and gradually forgot about it.
Now after some persuasion from Gracie, he rang again.
He is not a fool either. After passing by, he naturally knows that a star coach like Mourinho can endorse many famous brands and earn a lot of advertising endorsement fees.
But he didn't realize that his current influence could be used to make money.
"With so many people paying attention to you, you can endorse products, shoot advertisements, and earn endorsement fees, why not? Although your influence is now limited to the Getafe area, what you can earn is
The money is not much. But what about the future? Do you think you will be limited to this small place for the rest of your life? You said yesterday that your ideal is to become the world's top head coach. Although I don't know much about football, I know everything
Reaching the top level in an industry means supreme status and huge influence, and these can be exchanged for money."
While Chang Sheng was stunned, Kate Gracie was still using her verbal skills to persuade Chang Sheng to accept his suggestion and hire herself as his agent.
Of course he didn't major in brokering, but does the profession of "agent" exist in this world?
Many agents, whether they are football agents, basketball agents, boxing agents, music agents, their original occupations may be various, some are accountants, some are lawyers, some are former football stars or former singers
, former producers, etc., there may even be people who are just ordinary traders.
And he understands economics, which is his specialty.
Since you can’t survive in the banking world, why not find another career path?
You can still make money as an agent. You can also make a comeback!
Chang Sheng came back to his senses and looked at the extraordinary talker in front of him.
"But I don't have much income now, so I can't afford to support you," he said.
"Your income is low, and my income is also low. My income is linked to your income. So your current income is very low, it doesn't matter, you don't need to pay me much, and I will open up new areas for you.
Market. These are things you don’t have the energy to do, but I can do it for you. You don’t need to do anything. You just need to focus on your job. As long as you believe in me, I will let you
Become the richest football manager in the world! And this is to repay you for saving my life yesterday."
He said the last words very seriously, making Chang Sheng believe in his sincerity.
Lemon, who had been listening by the side, interrupted at this time: "I think this is okay, Chang."
After Chang Sheng thought about it for a moment, he said, "But I don't know your name yet?"
"Ah...I'm so sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Kate Gracie. I am from Getafe, Madrid, Spain. Although I was born here, I went to the United States when I was very young. I graduated from Harvard University and worked on Wall Street.
Eight years of experience. So you can hire me with complete confidence.”
"Okay, Mr. Gracie..."
"Kate, you can call me Kate, Chang."
"Okay, Kate. You succeeded in convincing me that I agree to hire you. When do we sign the contract?"
"You can do it now. Also, don't you think it would be a good idea to discuss the details of the contract while eating?" Kate Gracie smiled, looking personable.
Chang Sheng raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was almost half past eight in the evening. For Spanish people, it was indeed dinner time.
The Spaniards are somewhat similar to the Chinese. They also regard eating as a very important social activity, so chatting and discussing things while eating is completely normal in Spain.
Therefore, Chang Sheng didn't think there was anything wrong with the other party's proposal.
"It's really good. Come on, I'll take you to dinner." Chang Sheng waved and walked out of the apartment door again.
Kate Gracie picked up the box and followed closely.
※※※
When Chang Sheng and Kate Gracie stood in front of the egg and hash brown bar door, both of them noticed an obviously enlarged photo in a prominent position on the door of the bar.
The photo shows Chang Sheng taking a group photo with the owner of this bar.
This was once again requested by the boss when he came here to eat.
Unexpectedly, they hung up at the door.
"Obviously, this bar is taking advantage of your fame. You have become their spokesperson, and people will come to this bar to spend money because they like you. Have you taken any money from them?" Kate Gracie
Asked from the side.
Chang Sheng shook his head: "No, I only found out today."
Gracie immediately said seriously: "Then I suggest you have a good talk with their boss and get back your interests."
Chang Sheng shook his head again: "Forget it, there's no need."
"If it's inconvenient for you, you can let me step in for you..." Kate Gracie was very enthusiastic about this matter. After all, this was his opportunity to prove his ability to Chang Sheng.
However, Chang Sheng’s attitude was very firm: “No, it’s not necessary.”
Kate Gracie didn't understand: "Why?"
"Although I like money very much, I also like this bar very much. It's just a small amount of money. It's not necessary." After saying that, Chang Sheng shook his head and opened the bar door.
Seeing his resolute attitude, Kate Gracie had no choice but to remain silent and followed him in.
As soon as the bar owner saw that the guest who walked in was Chang Sheng, he quickly walked out from behind the bar and gave Chang Sheng a warm hug: "Chang! You haven't been here for a while! I've been taking your seat.
For the reserved ones, do you still want pancakes?"
When other guests in the bar saw Chang Sheng, they also raised their glasses and congratulated: "Chang! You must win the weekend game!"
"Chang, I heard that you saved someone yesterday? I'm proud of you! You are so brave!"
Another thing I saw was that the die-hard Getafe fans simply sang the chorus of "The Song of Chang". They kept repeating: "Always! Always! Always!"
So Chang Sheng also waved to them with a smile.
"Don't worry, we will definitely win the weekend game!"
Then they walked to his place and sat down opposite each other.
No one else came up to disturb them further, and they went back to what they were doing.
Chang Sheng said to Kate Gracie: "If I accept money from my boss, I don't think I can enjoy all this with peace of mind. Some things have nothing to do with monetary interests, Kate."
Kate Gracie's eyes flickered and she remained silent.
※※※
The meal took a long time because the two of them had been finalizing the terms of the contract.
For example, because of Chang Sheng's own temper, he specifically stated that anything Kate Gracie does that is related to Chang Sheng's interests needs to be reported to Chang Sheng. He only has the right to make suggestions, but not to make decisions. He is
You are an agent, but you cannot monopolize the power and become the full spokesperson for Chang Sheng.
In terms of remuneration, the two parties negotiated quite quickly.
Finally, the contract was negotiated and the meal was finished.
Pay the bill and walk out of the bar.
Chang Sheng thought that Kate Gracie was going back to get the contract, so he broke up with her at the door of the bar.
Unexpectedly, Kate Gracie said: "Can't see you again, Chang."
"how?"
"You have to take me in, Chang. I have nowhere to go."
Chang Sheng opened his mouth wide and looked at the other party.
"My apartment is due to expire today, and I have no money to pay the rent. If you don't treat me to dinner, I won't even be able to afford this meal." Kate Gracie said it matter-of-factly, without blushing or out of breath.
"Since you saved me once, save me a second time! I know you are a good person."
Chang Sheng was stunned for a long time, then lowered his head, admitting defeat.
Good for you sister!
"You can only sleep on the sofa, and as soon as you have money, you have to move out of my place."
"Wow, don't say it so heartlessly, Chang..."
"I'm sorry, I don't want to be gay! Although your name is really girly!"
※※※
ps, sorry, I forgot to set automatic updates...
The answer is also revealed. The first person to guess the answer is Daguo.
Yes, that’s right, Kate Gracie makes a very naughty cameo!
In addition, some people complained that Kate is a woman's name.
In fact, I have complained to Mao Ni about this point, but Mao Ni chose this name himself, so I just used it... Therefore, it is definitely not my mistake to be a sissy, so please understand! (To be continued...
