Chapter 335: Former Teammates

When the waiter heard this, he lowered his head and turned to go out to call the manager.

After a while, he didn't expect that a young man walked into the room.

Bai Ran paused for a moment. Aren't hotel managers usually middle-aged uncles?

After a closer look, Bai Ran was shocked!

Damn, isn't this the iron-blooded defender of the Nanlou Spirit Football Team - Chen Zhijian!

"Dear guests, if you have any questions, please tell me."

"Is it because of the taste, or because our chef forgot the dietary restrictions you told us?"

Zhang Hefeng said coldly: "Your dishes are too bad, I want to waive the bill."

Chen Zhijian, dressed in a suit and tie, is very polite and said: "I'm sorry, sir, if the taste is not to your liking, we will not refund."

"Which dish is not to your liking?"

Zhang Hefeng laughed and raised his head: "All of them are not to your liking, can I waive the bill?"

"Feng...Captain Feng?"

"Oh my god!"

"Why are you here!"

Seeing Zhang Hefeng, Chen Zhijian's expression was very shocked, as if something incredible had happened!

"Oh oh oh! I understand, Captain Feng, you are entertaining guests!"

"Got it! I will arrange the best box and food and wine, and I guarantee that you will be satisfied!"

Chen Zhijian has been a manager for a while, and he is quite familiar with the ways of the world.

But Zhang Hefeng interrupted: "No, no, no!"

"I just came here to chat with you."

"This is Bai Ran. You may not know him now, but you will know him later."

Chen Zhijian nodded to Bai Ran: "Hello, Brother Ran!"

"Waiter, you go out first."

In the box, only Bai Ran, Chen Zhijian and Zhang Hefeng were left.

"It's OK now. You've become Manager Chen."

Chen Zhijian laughed: "Oh! Captain Feng, you're talking about outsiders with me. Just call me Ajian!"

Zhang Hefeng said: "Well, Ajian, to be honest, I really want to ask you to come here today for something."

Chen Zhijian's expression gradually became serious. Seeing Zhang Hefeng's solemn expression, he was also worried.

"Captain Feng, what happened?"

"Don't worry, as long as it's within my ability, I will definitely help you."

Zhang Hefeng smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to shake it.

"It's nothing serious."

"I see you're doing pretty well in this restaurant now."

Chen Zhijian: "Not really, I just make ends meet."

"There are so many customers coming and going, I have to take care of every one of them, I have to keep an eye on everything, I'm exhausted every day."

"Not like you! Haha!"

Zhang Hefeng said: "Then do you still remember our team?"

When Chen Zhijian mentioned this, many stars appeared in his eyes.

"Of course!"

"Back then, we were full of vigor and vitality, and we beat all the teams in the provinces and cities near us, including the adult teams!"

"That period was so glorious, I'm so excited just thinking about it!"

At this point, Zhang Hefeng and Bai Ran looked at each other, both of them looked very lucky.

This is a good thing!

Strike while the iron is hot!

Zhang Hefeng continued, "I also remember your defender. He was really good at killing gods and Buddhas!"

"No matter what size or speed the opponent has, as long as you rush over, you will definitely steal the ball."

"When you were in the backcourt, we were not worried at all."

Chen Zhijian smiled and said, "Captain, you are not as good as me. Your sideline breakthrough is very sharp. The opponent can't recognize his mother!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Hefeng paused, "Then do you know who he is?"

As he said, Zhang Hefeng pointed in the direction of Bai Ran.

Chen Zhijian narrowed his eyes and shook his head with a smile.

"Forgive me for my poor eyesight. I really don't have any impression. Have we met before?"

"Please remind me! I'll think about it!"

Bai Ran said calmly, "What reminder? You are just listening to his nonsense."

"We have never met before."

"It sounds a bit magical. I was actually your teammate in my previous life, and I was your vice-captain."

Chen Zhijian finally frowned.

This... horror story?

There is also the concept of previous life and present life?

"Oh? Then in your previous life...were we like this? How did you get here?"

Bai Ran said: "That's not important. You just need to know that everything I said is true."

"If you don't believe it..."

"I know that when you were in middle school, you had a goddess chasing you every day, and you asked around for ways to chase girls."

"At that time, you asked me every day how to chase girls, because there were several female classmates in the class who were very interested in me."

"In order to chase the goddess, you even asked me for free meals for two months to buy her a gift, and finally she got together with the top student in the class..."

"Is this true?"

Chen Zhijian has always been a more down-to-earth person, and he is very dedicated to things, but in the eyes of the outside world, he is indeed a little stubborn.

But this is also a good feature for his ball skills.

Originally, Chen Zhijian was a basketball player, and he fell in love with football since he came into contact with it.

With this mentality of never giving up until he reaches his goal, he goes to school morning and evening or even skips classes to practice football. However, there is no way to make up for talent. Obviously, Chen Zhijian does not have such a high talent.

Therefore, although he has been practicing football for a long time and his skills at his feet are not particularly good, he should be fully capable of playing the role of a defender with his physical fitness and conditions, as well as his adequate skills.

Sure enough, after joining the Nanlou Spirit School Team, Chen Zhijian played to a very high level and was at home in the team, playing well.

Chen Zhijian blushed when Bai Ran mentioned this.

"Hey, hey... no need to say anything."

"So, you really traveled from a previous life?"

"Oh my God, this is amazing."

"Brother, I guess you can go to the Huaguo Science and Technology Park to do research!"

Zhang Hefeng said calmly: "Ajian, we came to you this time for serious business."

“I hope to re-establish the South Tower spirit.”

“Are you going to come back and play fullback?”

"With your help, our team will be able to regain its former glory. Your defenders are the best in the world."

Chen Zhijian laughed and said, "Team Feng, you are really good at joking."

"Rebuilding? It's good that you have this intention. I can help you with some money."

"But let me go back to play football, so forget it."

"I'm already in my teens and 20s. I'm not young anymore. It's time to make money."

Zhang Hefeng said: "Ajian, don't you know how much money you can earn if you become famous playing football?"

"That's an amount that ordinary people like you and I can't even imagine in our lifetime!"

"He's an example!"

"Bai Ran, now at Real Madrid, you can earn 15 million euros a year!"

“And there’s an added bonus!”

A flash of shock flashed across Chen Zhijian's eyebrows, but it quickly subsided.

"Real Madrid!"

"I used to be a Real Madrid fan."

"However, you also said that if you become famous, you can indeed earn a lot."

"But not kicked out?"

"After spending so many years with you, who will give me a way out when I go out into society in my thirties?"

"Don't be naive, Team Wind."

"I won't do it, and I advise you not to do it."

"That's it for today. I'll treat you to this table of dishes."

After saying that, Chen Zhijian stood up and left immediately.

Zhang Hefeng said: "You should think about it again!"

"Real Madrid will play us in two days. If you play well in this game, you will definitely become famous!"

"Ajian, Ajian!"

Chen Zhijian walked out of the box and went to take care of the guests again.

Bai Ran and Zhang Hefeng looked at each other, looking at each other.

The successive failures have made them all a little tired.

"Next is the guy with the nicest temper."

"If this doesn't work, the other ones will probably be enough."

"Bai Ran, in your previous life, you, Bai Chen, were the vice-captain, but you don't know that in our world, he is the second captain."

Bai Ran was quite interested, who could take the lead?

"yes?"

Zhang Hefeng grabbed a crab leg on the plate, put it in his mouth and chewed it twice, with a determined look in his eyes.

A certain skyscraper.

A corporate summit is taking place on the top floor, bringing together representatives and managers from various groups.

In the conference room, the huge floor-to-ceiling windows extend down, and you can see the entire city from here.

There were more than twenty middle-aged people sitting below, all in suits and leather shoes, sitting upright on chairs. On the long conference table, the sound of writing with pens could be heard quietly.

In front of the stage, PPT was being demonstrated, and beside the curtain stood an energetic young man.

The man wears gold-rimmed glasses and is elegant. His neat suit reflects his temperament, and his plain face looks very gentle.

With a height of 1.88 meters, he looks calm and intimidating.

"What I want to talk about next is the third core competitiveness of our company."

"In the undercurrent market, there is a saying that has been circulating..."

Bai Ran and Zhang Hefeng took a look outside the door.

"Let me go, Zuo Jiajun has already become like this?"

Bai Ran couldn't help but sigh, and Zhang Hefeng said, "Have you forgotten? They have a big company at home."

"Oh oh oh! I remembered! Is he inheriting his father's legacy?"

Zhang Hefeng nodded: "Of course."

Unexpectedly, the last person with the best temper turned out to be the CEO of a company.

The corporate summit lasted for a while, and with a burst of warm and thunderous applause, Zuo Jiajun smiled slightly, nodded, walked off the stage, and finished his speech.

Not long after he sat on the chair, he heard a voice coming from behind him.

"Manager Zuo?"

"Someone is looking for you outside the door."

Zuo Jiajun turned around and quietly left the conference room and came to the empty room next door.

Seeing the two figures sitting there, Zuo Jiajun cleared his throat.

"Hello."

"Are you two looking for me?"

Bai Ran and Zhang Hefeng turned around and looked at Zuo Jiajun.

"Wind Team?"

"How did you come."

Zhang Hefeng stood up, showed a professional fake smile, and said: "Superman, this is..."

"Oh my God!"

"Bai Ran!?"

Before Zhang Hefeng finished speaking, Zuo Jiajun snatched him away.

Looking at Bai Ran's face, Zuo Jiajun looked unbelievable.

"Bai Ran!? Are you Bai Ran!"

Bai Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and nodded.

"Superman, you are too enthusiastic."

Zuo Jiajun's face was full of joy.

"I am your fan! You played so well in Real Madrid!"

"Hey, what did you call me just now?"

Bai Ran said calmly: "Superman."

It turned out that Zuo Jiajun was a goalkeeper with a height of 188. When he was in Nanlou Spirit, his nickname was "Superman".

The origin of this story can be traced back to when they were in middle school.

At that time, the Nanlou Spirit team was already famous all over the country, and Zuo Jiajun's goalkeeping skills were also admired by many people.

At that time, there was a player in the national football team. He heard that there was a very strong youth team here, so he brought a group of media and reporters to Nanlou Middle School for inspection.

To put it bluntly, it is to create some gimmicks and make some Yuanzi.

At that time, Nanlou Spirit was playing football on the playground. After the international player came, he said a few words to the camera, greeted the young players, and took some photos.

In the end, the international player also thought that these seedlings were not bad and wanted to teach them in person on the spot.

Coincidentally, it was Zhang Hefeng who was watching at the side.

The international player said to Zhang Hefeng: "Look, when you shoot, your ankle is not locked, so there is always no power."

"To shoot with power, you must lock your ankle and use the instep. In this way, the shot is fast and accurate."

"The quality of your shot just now was not high, right? The goalkeeper saved it so easily."

"That's because of what I said just now. As long as you pay attention to this point, your shot will definitely be fine."

"Look, I'll give you one!"

At this time, everyone's eyes were on the international player.

At this moment, the camera lens was also aimed at him.

Almost the eyes of the people across the country were on him.

It seems that the international player is going to teach the younger generation a lesson.

In front of the goal is Zuo Jiajun, who is 1.88 meters tall.

He is thin, wearing gloves, protective gear, and goggles on his face.

Bang!

A volley shot by the national team player!

It has to be said that the gap between amateurs and professionals is still very large, and the quality of this shot is extremely high!

The ball is very fast!

And it also flies to the upper left corner of the goal with a huge arc!

According to common sense, even two goalkeepers of the amateur team can't save this ball!

But at this moment, Zuo Jiajun's eyes burst into brilliance, and his reaction speed is first-class. At this moment, he jumped high and flew to save the ball!

There are two words in the hearts of everyone present!

Me! Cao!

When he flew, his jumping ability and reaction speed were definitely at professional level!

At this moment, Zuo Jiajun was like Superman!

He really flew up!

Since then, Zuo Jiajun has another nickname-Zuo Chaoren.

But in this world, Zuo Jiajun has never been a teammate with Bai Chen, so he doesn't know Bai Chen's existence.

However, Zuo Jiajun is a senior Real Madrid fan and knows a lot about these things in football.

So of course he knows that Bai Ran is a star player of Real Madrid now.

Even Bai Ran is his idol!

When Bai Ran said his nickname, he was also stunned.

"How do you know my nickname?"

Bai Ran said: "Because I used to be your teammate."

Zuo Jiajun: "You are so joking, I have never played football in Real Madrid."

Bai Ran's expression was very serious.

"But I fought side by side with you in Nanlou Spirit in my previous life."

Zuo Jiajun's pupils trembled, what?

How is this possible?

"Previous life!"

Bai Ran nodded: "Superman, your family is very rich and owns a big company. Your father is the chairman of the group. Since you were a child, your family asked you to take over the family business after graduation."

"But you don't accept it. You want to make your own way. You want to play football and become famous."

"In Nanlou Spirit, you found this sense of belonging and goal. You bet with your parents that if you can play in Nanlou Spirit, you don't have to listen to them anymore."

"But if you can't play, you have to go back and inherit the family business."

"Although everyone around you envies you, you know in your heart that it's not what you want."

Hearing this, Zuo Jiajun swallowed his saliva. Ordinary people don't know his thoughts!

"This is true!"

"Did I hear it right!?"

Zhang Hefeng nodded: "Everything he said is true. I was also shocked at first."

Zuo Jiajun said: "Then what do you want to see me today?"

Zhang Hefeng let out a sigh of relief.

"Superman."

"I believe you are unwilling to give up."

"I am planning to rebuild the spirit of Nanlou now."

"With you as the goalkeeper, the back line will be stable."

"With your skills and body, there will be no problem."

"How about it, do it?"

Zuo Jiajun hesitated.

"It's just repeating the same mistakes."

"Captain Feng, face the reality."

"Don't dream so big."

Zhang Hefeng looked very embarrassed.

"We are discussing the game now. If we can rebuild, we can play a game with Real Madrid."

"If we can become famous in this game, the future will be limitless!"

"Believe me, Superman."

At this time, a beautiful female secretary came over.

"Manager Zuo?"

"They are finished and waiting for you to make a summary."

Zuo Jiajun nodded: "Well, go ahead, I understand."

Then, Zuo Jiajun said to Zhang Hefeng: "Okay, let's do this for today, and contact each other later."

"Bai Ran, goodbye."

After that, Zuo Jiajun turned around and left the room.

In desperation, Bai Ran and Zhang Hefeng walked out of the door again and took the elevator downstairs.

Not only these few people...

"I'm busy! Sorry!"

"No need! Find someone else."

"I've forgotten how to play football, and you want me to go back and play football? Don't be ridiculous!"

"As for your matter, I think forget it, but I can let you pick a girl for free, and you can go in and play with her as you like."

Zhang Hefeng and Bai Ran looked at each other, their faces full of black lines...

The successive failures made them discouraged.

Is it really true that things have changed and no one is willing to come back?

Bai Ran and Zhang Hefeng visited the positions of more than a dozen old teammates, and none of them succeeded!

He finally went home with Zhang Hefeng.

Sitting on the sofa, Zhang Hefeng covered his forehead with his hands, his face full of melancholy.

Bai Ran looked around Zhang Hefeng's home, the decoration and layout... made Bai Ran burst into tears.
