Hu Lai received a WeChat reminder on his mobile phone, telling him that the red envelope sent out yesterday had received five yuan back.
He was a little surprised. After all, he distributed red envelopes based on the number of people in the group. Logically speaking, if everyone received it, it would be impossible to return it.
Then someone must not have received it.
As for who didn't receive his red envelope, Hu Lai didn't bother or care. If he didn't receive it, he didn't receive it. What's the matter, do you have to force money into other people's hands? It's okay if someone didn't receive it.
, he returned the five yuan original, and Hu Lai even wished that more people did not receive his red envelope.
He put the phone away again and continued to listen to Zhang Qinghuan's talk.
The latter was patting his chest and saying to Hu Lai: "Don't worry, Hu Lai. Although the national team does form fixed small teams based on regions and clubs to a certain extent, but with your brother Huan here, there is no such thing in the national team."
No one can touch you!"
From Jincheng to Yunyang, the venue for this top 12 competition, he almost listened to Brother Huan who gave him popular science about the situation of the national team. They talked about mysteries and mysteries, the human connections within the national team, and the potential of the national team.
The rules, the main lineup of the national team...all were analyzed by Hu Lai.
After hearing what Zhang Qinghuan said, Hu Lai couldn't help but said: "Brother Huan, you have been laying the groundwork for so long just to elicit this last sentence, right?"
Ding Yuanhai, who had been silent next to him, couldn't help laughing.
Zhang Qinghuan glanced at him, then looked back at Hu Lai: "Then do you think what I said is the truth?"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Hu Lai nodded his head, then cupped his hands and said, "Brother Huan, I'm going to hug your thigh tightly. I'm sure Brother Huan is following your lead. If you pass the ball to the left, I will never go to the right!"
"
"You and I passed the ball in reverse and you still scored a crappy goal!" Zhang Qinghuan told Hu Lai again, "I'm telling you, when you meet your teammates from the national team later, put away your mean behavior. There are thousands of things you shouldn't say.
Don't say it, don't make random jokes. This place is different from the Olympic team. Everyone in the Olympic team is young, and your achievements among young people are the highest, so if you go out of your way a little bit, no one will take you seriously.
But it's different in the national team. Everyone here is your senior. When they were dominating the professional football world, you were still doing your homework in school... In short, just follow me. I will protect you.
As long as you don't go too far, no one will look at me like you."
“Okay, Brother Huan, I’ll listen to you.” Hu Lai nodded obediently.
But the fact that he was so obedient made Zhang Qinghuan a little worried, so he added: "You're not thinking about how to mess with me, are you, Hu Lai?"
Hu Lai waved his hand quickly: "Brother Huan, look what you are saying? Do you think I am such an unreliable person?"
Zhang Qinghuan nodded and said: "Yes, what else? You can really think of a way to make me retire?"
“Ouch, Brother Huan, if you want to say that...just tell me whether this trick works or not!”
“It works, but it’s a waste...”
“Use a heavy hammer to sound the drum, use strong medicine to treat serious illness, and use heavy scriptures in troubled times. Brother Huan, this is all the experience of our ancestors! You have to believe in the wisdom of the Chinese nation for five thousand years!”
…
Ding Yuanhai was listening to the two people bickering and couldn't get a word in. Of course, he didn't intend to interrupt. On the one hand, he didn't want to attract firepower, and on the other hand, he didn't need to persuade him. After transferring to Flash Star for more than half a season, he
Now I have long understood how these people get along. The more fierce the bickering, the better the relationship will be.
Look at them, they would never make such a joke with me...
Just as he was thinking this, he heard Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan turning to look at him at the same time: "Old Ding, you come to judge!"
Ding Yuanhai was caught off guard. He could only wave his hands in a hurry and said incoherently: "I didn't do it! I don't know anything... Don't look at me... Sigh, it's none of my business!"
After being cornered in the end, he uttered a curse word, which made both Hu Lai and Zhang Qinghuan burst into laughter.

In the lobby of the hotel where the national team was staying, as soon as Zhang Qinghuan entered, he saw the team leader Hong Renjie coming out to greet him, so he said to Hu Lai next to him: "Leader Hong has come to greet me. Hu Lai, look at your brother Huan."
Position in the national team!”
After saying that, he put on a smile and walked towards Hong Renjie.
“Leader Hong.” He also said hello.
"Oh, Qing Huan is here!" Hong Renjie nodded to him, then walked past him, came to Hu Lai who was behind Zhang Qinghuan, and grabbed the hand that Hu Lai just stretched out: "Welcome, welcome,
The national team welcomes you, Hu Lai!"
Zhang Qinghuan turned around and was stunned when he saw Leader Hong holding Hu Lai's hand and shaking it vigorously.
A reporter from the nearby media came over immediately, picked up his camera and recorded the scene.
It can be seen that Hong Renjie is indeed very happy. After shaking hands, he patted Hu Lai's shoulder very hard, which made Hu Lai's body tilt, which shows how hard he worked...
Compared to him and Ding Yuanhai, Zhang Qinghuan's way of greeting was much simpler and more ordinary.
After Hong Renjie left, Zhang Qinghuan said to Hu Lai: "Leader Hong, this is your first time being selected for the national team. In order to prevent you from being nervous, I specially welcomed you warmly in front of so many people. Don't feel that you have received it."
Special treatment... Let me tell you, every one of us who was selected for the national team for the first time was patted on the shoulder so hard by Team Leader Hong..."
“I understand, Brother Huan.” Hu Lai nodded.
“Okay, I’ll take you to meet all the new teammates while we’re waiting for dinner later. You don’t have to be nervous or worry. As long as I’m here, they will definitely not do anything to you.” Zhang Qinghuan added.
"Okay, Brother Huan." Hu Lai followed Zhang Qinghuan, following suit.
※※※
For dinner in the evening, the hotel provided a rich buffet, and the hotel manager was also at the restaurant, ready to solve any problems encountered by the national football team during the meal.
After all, this is the first time this hotel has hosted the top 12 tournament, so everyone from top to bottom attaches great importance to it.
Whether the national team can eat well is directly related to the team's combat effectiveness, so naturally they dare not be careless.
When Zhang Qinghuan and Hu Lai approached the restaurant, someone immediately greeted him, and he returned the greeting one by one.
Hu Lai followed behind and sighed: "Brother Huan can really get away with it wherever he goes!"
"That's it!" Zhang Qinghuan was very proud. He took Hu Lai to get the dinner plate, walked around the dining table, picked up the food they wanted to eat, and decided to find a seat.
As soon as they turned around, they saw the national team captain Yao Huasheng, who was also taking food. He patted Zhang Qinghuan on the shoulder: "We still have room at that table."
Then he took Zhang Qinghuan and Hu Lai to a booth for six people.
As soon as he sat down, Yao Huasheng pointed at Hu Lai next to Zhang Qinghuan and said to the other people at the table: "Doesn't he need to introduce me? Anyone in the team here who has not scored a goal by him can raise his hand."
Everyone laughed.
Hu Lai took a look and saw that in addition to captain Yao Huasheng, this table also included a familiar face - Dashun Jinjian's central defender Mao Junzheng...
His smile froze on his face - he even wondered if Yao Huasheng brought him to the table on purpose, just because he scored his goal in the Super Cup...
Yao Huasheng noticed the change in Hu Lai's expression, pointed at Hu Lai and said to Mao Junzheng: "Da Mao, if you have a grudge to take revenge, if you have a grudge to retaliate, the opportunity has come."
Mao Junzheng smiled: "Go back to the club and report, but I won't report now."
Hu Lai quickly handed over his hand: "Brother Mao, I am mainly looking for trouble with Wang Xianke. It really has nothing to do with you. You are also a victim, right..."
"It matters now." Mao Junzheng chuckled, "Don't worry, when we return to the league, we will have revenge and grievances. But now that we are all in the national team, we will not talk about the grievances between the clubs. Otherwise, Team Yao and I will
We have to fight first - they stole our league title last year."
Yao Huasheng next to him hummed: "We are just taking back the championship that belongs to us."
Then he turned to Hu Lai: "But we really can't talk about the grudges between the club and the club here, otherwise nothing can be done. The club's brains have been knocked out, and we are all comrades here. What happened between you and Golden Arrow, in the country
Forget about the team."
"Don't mention it, don't mention it." Hu Lai waved his hand quickly, "Wang Xianke is out of class, and Jin Jianjian and I have no problems at all. Besides, my good friend Chen Xingyi is from Jin Jianjian, and Jin Jianjian is his natal family.
How can I have trouble with his mother's family?"
Seeing that Hu Lai understands the overall situation, Yao Huasheng was relieved deep in his heart. He was afraid that Hu Lai would succeed as a young boy and become a blockbuster in the Olympics. After becoming famous all over the world, he would get carried away and drift away, and it would be difficult to get along with him - such a genius is not
No.
But now that I have really gotten in touch with him, I find that Qin Lin is right. Although this guy is a little naughty, he is not bad.
Thinking of Qin Lin, he smiled at Hu Lai and said, "Actually, Brother Lin called me specifically last night and asked me to help take care of you..."
Hearing what Yao Huasheng said, Hu Lai glanced at Zhang Qinghuan in surprise.
Zhang Qinghuan touched his nose in embarrassment: "I originally wanted to take advantage of Brother Lin's halo, but I didn't expect that Captain Yao directly told me..."
Yao Huasheng smiled: "When Qing Huan returned to the national team, Brother Lin also called me to ask for help. Although Brother Lin has long since quit the national team, he was my big brother when he was with the South China Tigers. Since he asked me to
Of course I can't let him down. So don't worry, there is no difference between the national team and the Olympic team. You can do whatever you want. As long as you don't violate discipline, no one can do anything to you."
Yao Huasheng said this very domineeringly. As the captain of the national team, the captain of the most successful club in Chinese football, and the successor of Qin Lin, he certainly has the confidence to say this.
And what he said is really useful, not just bragging at the wine table.
Even though Mao Jun is the second-best player in the Dashun Golden Arrow team after Chai Shun, when he comes to the national team, he still has to give Yao team face in front of Yao Huasheng.
Team Yao said not to bring the club's grudges into the national team, so he really can't argue with Hu Lai when he defeated the Dashun Golden Arrow in three consecutive games.
“Oh, by the way, I haven’t added you to the national team’s WeChat group yet…”
As he spoke, Yao Huasheng took out his mobile phone and exchanged WeChat messages with Hu Lai, and then pulled him into the group.
“Is there anyone new?”
“Red envelopes for newcomers!”
"Red envelopes!"
Seeing Hu Lai enter the group, the group suddenly became lively.
Hu Lai immediately asked the big brothers of the national team obediently: "Hello, brothers, I am the newbie Hu Lai!"
Then he actually handed out a red envelope.
Zhang Qinghuan's heart tightened when he saw Hu Lai handing out red envelopes - he was afraid that Hu Lai would hand out red envelopes worth one yuan and one hundred cents. But it was inconvenient for him to remind Hu Lai in front of Captain Yao and the others... he could only
Pray that Hu Lai knows the right amount.
When the red envelope was distributed, he immediately clicked in and was surprised to find that it was a regular red envelope worth two hundred yuan. After grabbing twenty-one thirty-seven cents, he felt relieved.
Then he secretly glanced at Hu Lai.
Hu Lai kept a smile on the surface, but he was bleeding inside - he lost 700 yuan in red envelopes just for joining the national team...
When will the teammates of the Olympic team be able to stand up? I’m so angry!
