"Boss, Andy, why are you here?"

The two people in front of the bar turned around. There was no doubt that they were Eddie Gray's uncle and nephew.

"We should ask you this, right, Li?" Eddie smiled, as if he had been prepared for Levi's arrival, "This will no longer be your home court."

"Yeah, that's why I'm here to participate in my farewell match today." Levi smiled and joked.

"Hey, I don't like hearing this anymore. What do you mean it won't be Lee's home court in the future?" Boss John interjected dissatisfiedly, "Eddie, you don't have the final say here."

"As long as I'm here, this will always be Lee's home court," Boss John turned his attention to Levi with a smile, "Are you right, Lee?"

"Of course, as long as you don't dislike me." Levi replied with a smile.

"Haha, it should be you, a big star, don't dislike my little place!" Boss John also laughed after hearing this.

"Okay, don't be poor," Eddie interrupted their business bragging and said seriously, "Li, since we happened to meet each other, I have a few words to say to you."

"Say it, boss." Levi had already walked to the bar and sat down, sitting up straight.

"I know that German guy named Klopp. He has some abilities. It's not a bad thing to follow him."

"Yeah." Levi nodded, but what he was thinking was, if you knew how Klopp had complained about you, you probably wouldn't have said that.

"I'm not worried about you either," Eddie continued, his tone full of arrogance, "No one who comes out of my hands is a coward!"

"What I'm worried about is this boy," he said, slapping his nephew hard on the back. "This boy is so old, he still looks like a child."

"Uncle, can't you be gentler?" Andy rubbed his back and muttered dissatisfiedly.

Eddie ignored him, but stood up and bowed to Levi:

"Li, after I go to Germany, I will ask you to take care of this kid."

"Uncle, Li is ten years younger than me, who is taking care of whom?" Andy couldn't stand being looked down upon by his own uncle.

"Shut up!" Eddie slapped him again, "Even if Li is younger than you, he is much more mature than you!"

Andy was so excited by his slap that he didn't dare to say anything.

Levi was originally happy to see Andy frustrated. After all, although Andy was a little irritable at times, he was generally calm when facing him. It was rare to see him look so embarrassed.

However, seeing Eddie speaking solemnly now, Levi couldn't help but become serious:

"Boss, you are serious. I dare not say anything else, but I can guarantee that Andy will not be hungry if I have a bite to eat!"

Eddie was startled when he heard this. This was the first time he heard this expression in Chinese, but after all, the meaning was not profound. He understood it quickly and couldn't help laughing.

Speaking of which, Levi's statement is not wrong. Before Andy's business expanded, he really had to live on Levi's salary...

Andy on the side was still secretly criticizing his uncle for entrusting his life to him like a child. Unexpectedly, Eddie, who was laughing, slapped him again.

"Go away, kid," Eddie's tone became vicious again when he met his nephew, "Follow Li from now on. If you can't behave well, don't come back to see me!"

Andy felt like he was being pardoned and quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

Eddie, who stayed where he was, shook his head and stood up:

"John, I'm leaving first."

Boss John nodded.

When Eddie walked past Levi, he whispered in his ear:

"Li, the same goes for you. Don't come back to see me until you show off."

Levi's expression became stern upon hearing this. He stood up slowly, faced Eddie's back, and said solemnly:

"Boss, just watch, I will definitely do it."

Outside the bar door, Eddie's figure was no longer visible, only a string of long laughter still echoed in Levi's ears.

……

"Eddie, this guy has a hard mouth but a soft heart!" Boss John laughed from behind.

Levi turned around and nodded in agreement:

"Yes, the boss obviously cares about Andy very much, so he has to act like that."

"Haha, that's not what I'm talking about," Boss John smiled slyly, "Li, do you know, since you finished playing the finals, Eddie has been coming to sit with me for several hours every day."

Levi was stunned.

Didn’t the boss say we met by chance?

But soon, he came to his senses, and for a moment, he felt a little ashamed - he didn't even think about leaving to see the boss, but instead let the boss wait here every day...

However, I really didn’t expect that the usually grumpy boss would have such a side!

How to describe it?

Maybe it’s because of his lack of integrity?

Li Wei couldn't help laughing as he thought about it.

……

"Okay, Li, come over today, what's the matter?" After a while, Boss John asked aloud.

"I'm here to say goodbye to you," Levi said. "At the same time, it should be regarded as resignation. I'm sorry that I can no longer work for you. Thank you for your continued care, Boss John."

"Actually, it's me who should thank you, Li." Boss John waved his hand. "It's because of you here that the bar's business has been so good during this period. What's more, you also helped improve the haggis. I should thank you for it."

Lee says thank you."

"No, you gave me the opportunity when I was at my lowest," Levi's tone was quite sincere. "Without your generosity, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"Haha, there will be no end to thanking each other like this," Boss John smiled, "By the way, Eddie, that naughty guy, waited for so many days and only said two sentences. What he didn't finish,

Let me speak for him."

"Well, you said."

"Actually, it's nothing. It's all outdated experience. Just listen to it," Boss John said modestly, "Li, what do you think of German football?"

"Well, Germany should be at a rare low point in history," Levi tilted his head and thought for a while, "The results in the 1998 World Cup and the 2000 European Cup were not good. Although they were the runner-up in 2002, to be honest, the football

The team is somewhat inactive."

"There is only one superstar in his playing years, Ballack. Klose still has hope to grow, but he is still unable to take on the leading role." Levi said, which has actually used his memory for future generations. At this time,

I'm afraid no one else thinks that Klose is expected to become a superstar.

"This is also related to the declining competitiveness of the Bundesliga itself. In the next few years, it may be difficult for them to compete with the Premier League."

"That's right, but they are still runners-up in the World Cup," Boss John sighed, "Lee, do you know what Lineker once said about the Germans?"

"Football is a simple sport. It is a game in which 22 people chase a ball. At the end of the 90-minute game, the Germans win."

Levi repeated this sentence like a repeater. Without him, Lineker's famous saying is indeed too famous.

"Yeah, so the first thing I want to tell you is, never underestimate the Germans at any time," something seemed to flash in Boss John's eyes, "Don't look at them now.

That's just temporary, they will come back soon."

Levi nodded. He naturally knew better than Boss John. Germany learned from the painful experience after the 1998 World Cup and vigorously developed the policy of youth training. It finally bore fruit a few years later. After the youth storm of the 2006 World Cup became a blockbuster, the next five years

In the competition, they entered the semi-finals twice and the finals twice, and won a Hercules Cup.

This obviously proves Boss John’s foresight.

"As for the second thing I want to tell you, it is, never be afraid of the Germans."

"Huh?" Levi was stunned for a moment. Isn't this the opposite of his first sentence? "I don't quite understand what you mean."

"Everyone knows that the Germans are determined and tenacious," Boss John raised his head slightly, as if he was remembering something, "but as long as you are harder than them and more determined than them, then you will find that they are also

There’s nothing to be afraid of.”

"But if you are afraid and shrink, then nothing will happen."

Li Wei smiled bitterly when he heard this. He was tougher than the Germans. How easy is it?

Boss John saw Levi's distrust and smiled:

"Lee, do you remember the day you first met Mr. Charles?"

"Of course," Levi's expression suddenly became solemn when Boss John said this, "I have never dared or forgotten it."

"Then you must also remember what we were doing that day," Boss John narrowed his eyes, as if remembering, "The owner of that tomb is a guy who makes even the Germans afraid."

Levi was not surprised. Billy Bremner, the greatest player in the history of Leeds United, seemed to be expected to have such a comment.

Eh? No!

Bremner's career was in the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, the Germans were scared. Doesn't that mean...?

Li Wei suddenly opened his eyes wide.

His reaction was naturally seen by Boss John. This was probably the effect that the latter wanted. However, Boss John did not confirm his suspicion. Instead, he continued with a smile:

"Okay, Li, that's all I want to tell you."

"Finally, I have a personal request."
To be continued...
