Working in the sports industry probably really requires some sense of humor. But when this sense of humor becomes a spoof, it is a bit unbearable.

"You must give the first time to someone who is worthy of it!" This sentence does not mean the chastity of anyone, especially the chastity of a girl, but refers to the first loss of the goal guarded by Zuo Lin in an uncertain future. Sang Shilin really deserves to say such words in a deliberate and unexplained tone.

Zuo Lin was speechless and didn't know how to respond. His awkward expression caused everyone present to burst into laughter.

The specifications of this special lunch party are really not low. Zuo Lin's agent Sang Shilin, general manager of Shenbao Football Club Cheng Yi, head coach Luo Xianjie, Tianming Law Firm ace lawyer Gu Mingyuan, and Yan Beizhai's secretary Han Li.

"The Football Association cannot let you deliberately miss the ball, even if you are ensuring victory. However, it makes sense to say that you alone affect the league. In the half-time league, you will not lose a goal, and I am afraid that as long as you don't want to concede, no one can break through the goal you defend, which is equivalent to ensuring the unbeaten record of Shen Bao. For the league, it is indeed a bit more than that." Cheng Yi explained to Zuo Lin gently, "So, now we have discussed a relatively compromise plan, that is, you only participate in home games. You will not follow the team in away games, and you can be unbeaten at home every season. With Shen Bao's strength, you can get it.

Good results are enough, and for other teams with the ability to win the championship, this situation is acceptable... In this way, you have suffered a lot of losses, so the Football Association has also privately relaxed the management of you. You can bring anything to the court, as long as it is not used for off-court communication. The club does not charge management fees from your advertising revenue, and appoints you as an assistant coach and responsible for goalkeeper training. The position of this assistant coach is to give you certain financial compensation, but it would be better if you can train several goalkeepers with stronger strength for Shen Bao... What do you think?"

Cheng Yi is a cheerful person and has a clear understanding of the interests of players and clubs. Through Gu Mingyuan, Cheng Yi already knows that Zuo Lin is unlikely to really regard football as a career. To some extent, it is just a matter of interest and a fun identity. The ideas of the Football Association and other clubs naturally need to be considered, otherwise, offending too many people in the league circle will be troublesome in the future. But Zuo Lin is now one of the iconic figures of the club, and his interests must also be guaranteed. The plan he proposed is a more operational one after integrating opinions from all aspects.

"Mr. Cheng, don't be so polite. There is no need to be an assistant coach. I am not practicing formally and don't know much about football. Being a coach clearly misleads people's children. It's not good to just take money and not do things. I know you are in a difficult situation. But these things don't matter. At the beginning, I didn't really want to play in the league. Now, I'm very content. Besides, after the contract is over, I don't really want to continue playing football. It's enough to play 5 years." Zuo Lin said very politely. He understood that since this lunch can bring all these people together, it is obvious that there have been preliminary results on these issues. Sang Shilin must have won enough benefits for himself.

Basically, everyone has reservations about what Zuo Lin said. Even if Zuo Lin doesn't take the position of assistant coach, it's natural to pay him money in this name. As for the 5-year contract, he will not say anything now, and he will definitely try his best to stop him. Zuo Lin, who is only 23 and 4 years old, should have just entered the peak of his career, and his commercial value is unlimited. Aside from the commercial value, such a good goalkeeper will no longer play. At that time, the club and national team that Zuo Lin belongs to will suffer too much loss. In addition, although Zuo Lin has a very good temper, everyone still regards this as a bit of anger.

This time, the lunch meeting that explained the situation to Zuo Lin was a happy ending, and Zuo Lin re-entered his busyness that has made him bored recently.

The accumulated documents always need a proper place to accumulate and organize, while the notes and books that Teacher Sun left him before also need to be stored in a suitable environment. This place should be big enough, because besides Zuo Lin, there will be other people working here one after another. This is not just that everyone in an ordinary company has a small compartment; this place should be quiet, because in the future, people who will visit this place will be somewhat strange and not very convenient in the eyes of others. It seems that this place needs to be convenient for transportation, after all, there are more and more things now, and he needs to run around.

Of course, there are old single-family villas that are quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle, especially garden villas that are almost included in cultural relics protection buildings. After a little renovation, work and living are suitable. However, buildings that meet these conditions are very expensive, so expensive that Zuo Lin repeatedly gasps in the air conditioner.

Yan Beizhai really wanted to pay for Zuo Lin to solve this problem by himself. Zuo Lin felt that he had already owe Yan Beizhai too many favors and refused. Even if Yan Beizhai paid for it, it could only be considered as borrowing from Yan Beizhai. After browsing the industries transferred to Zuo Lin, Yan Beizhai came up with a solution of the best of both worlds. He paid for the place Zuo Lin liked, and handed it to Zuo Lin with decoration and transportation. Zuo Lin took out a manor in Italy in exchange for it. The manor may be lower than a complete set of garden villas in terms of cash value, etc. However, the manor produces wine, and there are many vintages in the cellar, which has been coveted by Yan Beizhai.

Zuo Lin would not refuse such a thing that everyone was happy about. So he got a villa, which was also located at the intersection of Julu Road and Changshu Road, with a huge garden, originally used as an editorial department of a newspaper with little circulation, and two BMW L7s. Since the house still needs to be repaired, Zuo Lin still lives in the Yan family mansion on Sinan Road, and all the documents were locked into the vault of a certain bank.

However, Zuo Lin still lacks money. The more he reads the materials and understands the so-called "Lion" jobs in history, the more Zuo Lin feels that he is not enough. Although he does not want to spend money from Yan Beizhai, Zuo Lin will not refuse to get some advice from Yan Beizhai.

"Do you know why Shennong Group has its current scale? Where does so much pure profit come from every year?" For Yan Beizhai, it was very happy to be able to help Zuo Lin economically, and what made him even happier is that he finally had the opportunity to let Zuo Lin understand business and economy. Perhaps, tempting Zuo Lin to join the business world is a good choice. Yan Beizhai still remembers that when he was struggling with Mr. Sun in Shanghai, it only took 6 years to go from a penniless "travel doctor" to becoming a person who can be on par with any so-called "tycoon" in Shanghai. If he could witness another legend, Mr. Yan would naturally not refuse. "No one of the businesses of Shennong Group has a profit margin of more than 30%.

It refers to gross profit margin, vegetables, fruits, and non-staple food processing, and it also has to bear great risks, such as natural disasters, pesticide problems, industrial pollution problems, product industry standards, and exported products are also difficult by local inspection and quarantine standards and market access in the exporting country. Although the business of eating and drinking is stable, it is also very troublesome. If a contract is not bad, it is not a small amount. If there is any news about food poisoning or not meeting food safety standards, it will be even more fun. But you see, Shennong Group is doing a very smooth business now, and its annual revenue is quite large. If you want to make money, it doesn’t matter which industry or which direction is it, and where to open a mountain and set up a cabinet, it depends on how you do it.”

Zuo Lin has a very weak economic foundation. Although Yan Beizhai’s statement makes sense, his understanding is limited. Yan Beizhai did not expect Zuo Lin to understand quickly. He smiled faintly and said, “Don’t worry, follow me to meet more people and make more friends in all aspects. You have so many resources in your hands, and at least you can maintain your expenses. Just find someone who is capable to operate those industries. When you finish your college entrance examination next year, you will come to Shennong Group to contact some shopping malls while studying. Anyway, Druid has no term in office in the parliament, so just adjust it gradually.”

From this conversation, Yan Beizhai planned to organize a series of activities in his club. Zuo Lin also entered this very interesting circle under the leadership of Yan Beizhai. People often come to the club, including all kinds of thoughts and discussions. Everyone eats, plays cards and chats, which really broadens their horizons.

But Zuo Lin also became more and more nervous because of this. A few days later, when he returned to the club to register for the second half of the league, as the time he had to spend on the road increased, Zuo Lin felt that he should have to use it alone. He still went to class, did homework, and taught Yan Yingxue every day. Although Yan Yingxue had to write homework after school started, the time spent learning Druidhi language decreased, which also reduced Zuo Lin's teaching pressure in disguise, but over time, even a strong and energetic guy like Zuo Lin could not help but feel a little tired. However, he was reluctant to give up anything because he knew that these things were good for him.

Fortunately, the first game in the second half of the league was away, and Zuo Lin finally began to enjoy the treatment of not following the team, which was equivalent to having a full two days of vacation. When the tutoring content was over, he complained to Zhang Ling.

"I don't know how lucky I am." Zhang Ling commented. Recently, Zuo Lin's tutoring was held upstairs in the clubhouse. Zhang Ling occasionally scrambled to the evening activities and chatted with those guys who could only see on TV to pass the time. Compared to Zuo Lin, Zhang Ling knew the value of this kind of party better. "Aren't you rich? Huitong's investment consultant accidentally leaked so much insider information. You can make a lot of money after you follow it and you can do it...

It’s okay to throw money to him. Professor Li Fu from Fudan is now only a graduate student. Do you know how rare it is for him to teach you about the introduction to economics? Also, Teacher Jiao this year, I chose his two courses in "Investment Management" and "Chinese Finance History" this semester. He won’t teach those big classes well. Now thanks to you that you can become familiar with me. Letting Teacher Jiao guide me is almost like giving us a small class. I have obtained the credits for these two courses this semester.”

"You have a foundation in this aspect, but I don't understand at all." Zuo Lin said aggrievedly, and his face made Zhang Ling laugh.

"I know, you are busy now and spend a lot of time on the bus back and forth every day, but you are unwilling to live outside in violation of the club system. Thank you for your hard work, but Mr. Yan is really for your own good. When you get into college, you learn part of what you learn. Once you get familiar with these people, you learn more. I really envy you for being able to attend such a salon every time." Zhang Ling said.

"Zhang Ling, since you want to come, then come together, Mr. Yan will not object."

Zhang Ling shook her head and said, "It's impossible. I have homework and homework in school, and I have to do several jobs... And, speaking of it, I'm not that free. Salons and others are all things that people with time. And I obviously don't fall into this category."

Zuo Lin's heart trembled. Why did Zhang Ling so persistently work and earn money has always been something he didn't understand, and where did this statement of "unfreedom" come from?

"Not free?...Do you have a boyfriend?" Zuo Lin tried his best to make his tone look plain.

Zhang Ling shook her head again and said helplessly: "No, I want to support myself. Moreover, I still owe a lot of debts. If you don't pay back the money in the scheduled time, things will be a little troublesome."

"I owe debt?" Zuo Lin asked in confusion, "How much money do you owe? I'll pay it back for you. You also said that the opportunity is rare, and it would be a pity to miss these salons and parties."

Zhang Ling looked at Zuo Lin seriously, her eyes firm and clear: "You don't have to pay it back for me. This is my own business. The money owed you and the money owed to anyone else are at least in the past few years." After saying this, Zhang Ling seemed a little lonely, and the focus of her eyes scattered from Zuo Lin's face and gradually dropped. "I'm not trying so hard for others. I have always been for myself. No matter what choice I make or what kind of results I will have in the future, it's my own business."

Zuo Lin admired Zhang Ling's strength. But Zhang Ling's words made Zuo Lin a little confused. When Zuo Lin accompanied Zhang Ling through the night when nothing happened except seeing the fragile side of a strong woman, the teacher-student relationship between them had become friends. As friends, Zuo Lin would not ignore Zhang Ling's incident and happen under his nose.
