Chapter 8 Three Thousand Dollars
Old Taylor was even scared off by Chen Haonan's salary requirements without explaining the club's long-term plans to him. He walked towards the fans' seats with two old legs trembling in pain, seemingly very angry.
But at this time, Chen Haonan received a phone call. On the phone, Chen Haonan's eyes sparkled, as if telling Old Taylor that he seemed to have encountered another good thing?
"Five thousand riyals a month? All expenses paid?! Is this for real?! How many years is the contract?" Chen Haonan had indeed received a lucrative phone call from a pub, someone was offering to sign him for two years.
This is a long-awaited contract! How can Chen Haonan not be excited?! Compared to Old Taylor's proposed floating plan, Chen Haonan is obviously more enthusiastic about this contract in front of him... although it is a cattle contract, not a football contract.
But in Old Taylor and Ribero's ears, did that voice sound like other clubs were making a move for Chan Ho-nam?
Old Taylor stared at Chen Haonan with a puffed face, without saying anything, and his brain had already started thinking about which club also discovered this waste?
Ribeiro couldn't sit still, if this guy is signed by another club, where would he find someone to go?
She couldn't help but glance at Old Taylor, her face full of anxiety. This means, old man, you'd better sign this kid quickly...
"I'll sign, of course I'll sign, but there's one condition that needs to be added - everything must be kept confidential!" Chen Haonan solemnly promised over the phone, his face radiant with excitement, and not forgetting to protect his own interests.
"Alright, after you've drafted the contract, let me take a look. If there's no problem, I'll go over and sign it tonight."
So soon? Old Taylor couldn't wait any longer. In his eyes, Chen Haonan was not worthless. Even if he couldn't cure him like Messi, Chen Haonan would still be a good youth coach, maybe after some training, he could even take over himself in the future, with this skill, who wouldn't let him teach? Who wouldn't let him coach?
"Chairman... look, let's talk to him again?" Taylor also seemed to regret his earlier reckless decision and took the initiative to communicate with the female chairman.
The female president was so angry that she almost pushed him down to the audience seats...
Old Taylor would naturally not guess the president's true intentions, he only considered his own mind of cherishing talent.
Just as I was about to go up and chat with Chen Haonan again, seven young men of similar age to Chen Haonan suddenly popped out on the court.
"Hey Nang, let's come and play with you!"
Chen Haonan had just hung up the phone, and after hearing this familiar voice, he didn't even turn his head, his face turned cold and he shouted: "Mountain chicken, wasn't it told not to come here? It's going to stir up some trouble again!"
It can be seen from his tone that Chan Ho-nam has some resentment in his words.
"Nan Ge, didn't you miss me? I just came to see you, no other meaning..." The youth nicknamed Mountain Chicken jumped onto Chen Haonan's back in one swift motion and started playing a game of horseback riding without any courtesy.
"If someone sees us over here, we'll definitely end up in a fight. Can you please not cause any trouble?" Chen Haonan said as he flung the pheasant down from behind his back.
Mountain Chicken, Chak Ho Nam? These two people's names are exactly the same as those in the comic book "Young and Dangerous"......Chak Ho Nam's name is just like that of a character in the comic book, it's the kind of thing where you can't even avoid getting hit while lying down, but Mountain Chicken is different. Mountain Chicken's real name is Wong Chun Tong, yet he insists on calling himself Mountain Chicken, and to make matters worse, he wears glasses.
But everyone knows that this nickname didn't come from there, according to Chen Haonan's words, it's just like a chicken with hernia, also known as mountain chicken... It's actually the body shape that looks similar, full of acne on his face, thin and weak physique, just like someone who has indulged in excessive lust.
"Hey, Brother Nan, what's wrong? Those rabbits are coming to cause trouble, let's take care of them. When did you become so afraid of things?" The mountain chicken seems to have a lot of complaints about Chen Haonan too, otherwise it wouldn't be questioning him like this.
"Look at you, thinking that just because you hang out with the likes of Bao Pi and Jiao Pi all day, you can make a name for yourself? You really think you're part of the underworld? The big shots of Causeway Bay? Bullshit! Have you seen people our age playing with guns and selling drugs? That's what I call mixing it up. What you're doing is just playing house, like those little kids in kindergarten. Do you understand? In two years, you'll still be starving to death. You think you can just go to the farm, peel bananas, and that'll get you a wife and a house? Do you think money grows on trees?"
"Then go sell it! We have hands and feet, can't we sell it?" The dead chicken is stiffening its neck, which is exactly what the mountain chicken looks like now. Chen Haonan's temper is not coming together, he's afraid that his own brothers are not making an effort. The football was right at his feet, he kicked it hard, and it hit the mountain chicken's ** squarely.
"You must be out of your mind! Is that something a human can do? I don't want to collect your corpse at the age of 18!"
The pheasant was in so much pain that it let out a loud cry and rolled around on the ground.
"Nan Ge, don't worry, actually Shan Jie was just talking nonsense. This time we came, besides playing football with you, we wanted to ask a favor of you..."
"Fake skin, have you guys gotten into trouble again?" As soon as Bao Pi spoke up, Chen Haonan immediately realized something and casually asked.
Nothing is recorded in the three treasure halls, these goods are well understood by him, every time something happens, they run to this side, under the pretext of coming to see themselves, but actually finding trouble for themselves.
"Speak up, what's the matter..." Chen Haonan asked helplessly. These kids wouldn't come to find him unless absolutely necessary, and once they did, it was bound to be no simple matter.
As soon as Bao Pi spoke up for himself, the wild chicken that was originally lying on the ground in pain suddenly jumped up like a living god and leaned against Chen Haonan with a thud, then stretched out its dirty hand to scratch his messy hair.
"It's actually... nothing much, just that I owed some money last night..." The mountain chicken said halfway and then stopped talking.
As soon as he mentioned last night, Chen Haonan became even more vigilant. "You gambled, scolded the neighbors, and I told you guys two days ago! You'd rather die than bet on Brazil winning, but you didn't believe me! Say, how much did you lose?"
The mountain chicken looked at Chen Haonan's eyes with a fiery gaze, didn't dare to respond, and instead stretched out his hand to wipe the package skin. The package skin person was relatively well-behaved, so he honestly said: "This is not the case, several brothers saw Brazil's home team hot, just casually bought 2,000 reais for each of Brazil's wins..."
"Oh, so that's losing four thousand riyals? Luckily this amount I can still afford! Otherwise, you guys are really selling poison, I won't be able to save you! Next time if you're like this again, I'll catch all of you and make you become gigolos! Screwed!"
Chan Ho-nam's eyes were blazing with anger as he spoke, but when he took a closer look, he found that Shanji and Bao Pi were lowering their heads without saying a word, and he had a bad premonition again.
"Jiao Pi! Come here! You tell me, these two fools didn't finish what they were saying!"
Jiao Pi had been standing far away and didn't dare come over, afraid that Chen Haonan would ask him something. Now hearing himself being called, he stood still on the spot and didn't dare move...
"If you don't speak up, you'll be the only ones left to bear the consequences." Chen Haonan stared at Jiao Pi without blinking, as if trying to see right through him.
Jiao Pi Ren was even more timid, and under Chen Hao Nan's stare, he couldn't hold out any longer and finally spoke up.
"Nan Ge... isn't two people, but..." Jiao Pi didn't dare say any more, using his hand to gesture an "OK" sign.
"What?! Eight?! Sixteen thousand?! You want me to die, don't you?! Damn it, these bastards, do they really want me to risk my life for a woman?! Waaah, why do I have such useless younger brothers?!"
Chen Haonan's anger ignited, and a surge of fury suddenly rose in his heart. "Mountain chicken... was it you who instigated this?! You're even more despicable than when I got a woman pregnant back then!"
40,000 riyals, I can grit my teeth and bear it, but 160,000? Ah! Chen Haonan let out a heavy sigh towards the sky, his brain feeling as if it had been struck by lightning.
He calculated in private, the money he had just deposited was only 12,000. His father would have a major operation in a few days and it wouldn't be less than 10,000 riyals... The bartender said that side could only prepay 10,000 riyals, damn! Still short of 4,000 riyals!
What's wrong with you, taking everything on yourself?! Alas! These useless kids... After sighing, he still managed to control his emotions and calmly asked: "When do we need it?"
"It's gotta be tonight......" The pheasant didn't find someone to speak for him this time, but instead answered with his head down and added: "It's the people on this side..."
Chen Haonan's face was already dark enough, and then upon hearing the four words 'the people on this side', his complexion almost turned into liver color.
These people? So they're saying that these little rascals colluded with each other to gamble and were even set up by someone!
He stood up without a word and walked towards Old Taylor, now that things had come to this point, he couldn't help but have a good talk with Taylor, and his actions also made Taylor shiver slightly...
"Let's talk again."
"Three thousand Lei Ya..."
