Chapter 203 Poverty Limits Imagination

"Li, I hope you can continue your performance in the second half of last season in the new 2017-2018 season!"

Liverpool CEO Peter Moore smiled and shook Li Qing's outstretched right hand.

"As long as the club's money is ready, my performance will be as good as it can be."

Li Qing made a joke with a half-smile.

Peter Moore was stunned for a moment, then laughed heartily: "This must be ready, and then... it depends on your performance."

"Definitely no problem!"

After Li Qing and Peter Moore exchanged a few polite words, they followed Mendes out of the Liverpool office building. Originally, many advertisers found Mendes, but Mendes was not satisfied with the prices offered by these merchants, or thought they were not sincere enough, so they did not reach an agreement.

So, it meant that Li Qing's vacation officially began.

According to the requirements of Liverpool head coach Klopp, the players will return to the team in mid-July to start pre-season preparations for the 2017-2018 season. Since Li Qing participated in the World Youth Championship and the World Cup qualifiers, his rest time was obviously insufficient. Considering this, Klopp opened a green channel for Li Qing and allowed him to return to the team at the end of July to prepare for the Community Shield match with the Blues in early August.

Although Li Qing has a longer vacation, he feels that it is meaningless to take a long vacation. He only has a girlfriend, Tong Shenbing, in his current identity.

There is an uncle in China, but as he became famous all over the world, his uncle began to consciously recognize this nephew.

At the beginning, the parents of this body died, and the uncle in China said he would never adopt it. Now he takes the initiative to contact him. What else can he do except profit?

Back to the point, Li Qing called Mendes before he left: "Uncle Jorge, can you do me a favor?"

"What favor?"

"I want to buy a villa." Li Qing looked at Mendes's doubtful expression, and he smiled and explained: "The place where I live now is very easy to be squatted by paparazzi. I want to move to a place with a better environment, at least that way my personal privacy can be protected to the greatest extent."

Mendes nodded slightly. In fact, it is normal for players to buy villas. Professional players make a lot of money, so they naturally have to enjoy it. What Li Qing said makes sense. The place where he lives now is indeed not in line with his status.

"Where do you want to buy it?"

Li Qing sat in Mendes' Rolls-Royce car, fastened his seat belt and pondered. After about half a minute, he said: "Cheshire."

Cheshire is between Liverpool and Manchester, and Cheshire is famous for its luxury villas. Therefore, many Liverpool players or Manchester United players will buy properties in Cheshire.

"What are your requirements for a house?"

"A single-family house, facing north and south, not too many rooms, five or six will do, of course... if the house is good, seven or eight will do, there must be a small garden in front of the house, preferably a small football field behind the house, and it would be even better if the villa has a heated swimming pool."

Originally, Li Qing just mentioned a few features, but ended up saying a lot, and finally looked at Mendes a little embarrassedly: "Uncle Jorge, it shouldn't be difficult to find a house with such requirements?"

"This one you are talking about is the standard configuration of a villa."

Mendes drove the car and nodded slightly with a smile: "I will probably help you find it before the start of the new season."

Li Qing's heart was filled with a big "embarrassment", it turned out that poverty limited imagination!

"By the way... where are you going for the holiday? Do you want to... go to Hawaii with my family?"

Li Qing shook his head and said, "I've made an appointment with my girlfriend to go to China to travel."

Mendes was just being polite, and Li Qing's refusal was expected. He smiled and said, "I wish you a happy holiday."

Li Qing can be said to be a real millionaire now. All the salary and bonuses from last season have been received, plus the signing fee that will be received soon, he is really worthy of the name.

It was very depressing to stay in the house in the center of Liverpool. Li Qing, who had already asked the staff of the English Football Association to apply for a visa in advance, booked the earliest flight to Nanling, China, and his girlfriend Tong Shenbing was in the Nanling sweet potato area.

It was eleven o'clock in the morning when he arrived at Nanling Blue Sky International Airport two days later. Li Qing did not greet Tong Shenbing in advance, but tried his luck according to the living and activity locations that Tong Shenbing "reported" these days to see if he could meet by chance.

But before that, he went to book a hotel first, changed his clothes and tidied up his appearance before going out to meet Tong Shenbing by chance.

Li Qing is well-known in the world of football, but he is not a household name. The first sport in China is table tennis. Not many people like football, but because the famous Nanling team Hengtai is very famous, the football atmosphere in this city is quite good.

The June sun in Nanling is scorching. In order to avoid being recognized by the fans, Li Qing, who had lunch, wore frog-eye glasses, denim shorts, T-shirts and flip-flops. He looked no different from the local invisible landlord.

Li Qing is handsome and over 1.8 meters tall. With the image of an invisible landlord, the urban beauties passing by will take a look at him. In order not to be targeted, I will stop here.

Arriving at the subway station, Li Qing chatted with Tong Shenbing through WeChat that she was going to the university town to visit her former high school girlfriends at around 2 o'clock this afternoon.

So, he took the subway to the south of the university town and waited for the opportunity.

The popularity of the university town in late June was much less than that of the previous two months, because it was now summer vacation.

Tong Shenbing's high school bestie was studying hard in the university town and stayed in school to earn living expenses.

Although the popularity of the university town was much less than that during the school period, the university is half of the society, and there are many students from far away, and there are quite a few who stay in school, so there is a market.

The battery of the mobile phone was low, and Li Qing, who was about to take the power bank, saw the familiar beauty in the corner of his eye, and his eyes lit up. He put the phone in his pocket without a sound. Next to Tong Shenbing, there was another beauty whose appearance was not inferior to her.

Li Qing raised his hand, put his hands in his pockets, walked towards her as if nothing had happened, and gently bumped into Tong Shenbing's shoulder.

"You!"

Tong Shenbing rubbed her right shoulder, which was a little painful, and glared at Li Qing who was wearing frog glasses.

It's just... she always felt that the boy in front of her looked familiar.

Li Qing?

Thinking of this name, she shook her head, feeling that it was an illusion caused by missing him too much recently.

"What's wrong with you? Don't you get paid for bumping into someone?"

Tong Shenbing hadn't spoken yet, and the beauty next to her suddenly scolded.

Li Qing looked at Tong Shenbing's suspicious eyes, shrugged his shoulders and took off his sunglasses.

"Li Qing! Why are you here?"

Tong Shenbing was immediately overjoyed and jumped up directly.

"Surprised? Unexpected?"

"Surprise! Unexpected!"
