Yan Ruo fell into silence again.

He and Zhong Tao have known each other for many years. As early as when they were in college, because an essay was published in each other's magazine, and Zhong Tao happened to be his alumnus, the two of them got acquainted by accident.

.

The magazine had just started at that time, and when Zhong Tao was still very ambitious, he admired Yan Ruo's idea of ​​stationing abroad and strongly supported it.

This is also the reason why Yan Ruo gave up TV stations and other newspapers after graduation.

But after so many years, the original passion for starting a business has long faded, and the overseas sites that Yan Ruo managed to maintain have reached the point where they can no longer continue.

Yan Ruo knew very well what his senior was like, and he was indeed doing it for his own good. However, the magazine was running poorly, and his character had become cautious.

From Zhong Tao's point of view, there is really no need to take huge risks and confront a behemoth like "Sports Weekly" for the sake of Li Wei, who is not a relative.

Letting Yan Ruo return to China is naturally a better choice for Yan Ruo himself and the magazine.

A few weeks ago, Yan Ruo, who was already frustrated, would probably accept Zhong Tao's suggestion.

But things are different now. After these days of contact with Li Wei, he has deeply felt how extraordinary this young man is.

Even in those childhood anecdotes of football superstars, he had never heard of anyone like Levi.

That boy, like a fish inseparable from water, seemed to have never left football. He would take the ball to the training ground every morning, and after a whole day of training, he would still practice non-stop when he returned home.

Even when he works in a bar, his court is always behind the bar.

And when he was too tired after training, his way to relax was to watch game videos.

The only two pastimes in his life that have nothing to do with football - let's call them pastimes, maybe cooking and learning Italian.

But most of the time he spends carefully preparing nutritious meals that are difficult to swallow. In fact, it has something to do with football.

As for learning Italian, I heard that it seems to be a preparation for playing football in Italy in the future.

In that guy's life, football seems to have become as natural and indispensable as breathing.

What's even more rare is that the guy never hides his hunger and thirst. He has the persistence of a young man, but he never stops because of the results in front of him. He always calmly plans his future, and he is like a thirty-year-old.

middle-aged people.

If such a guy could fail, Yan Ruo felt that he would never believe in his dream again.

In the long dark night of Chinese football, Yan Ruo firmly believes that he has found the only light.

After some thought, he made up his mind.

"Brother Zhong, do you believe me?"

"What are you talking about? If I didn't believe you, would I have allowed you to come to the UK despite the pressure from the company?"

"Okay, listen to me," Yan Ruo took a deep breath, "I believe Levi will become a world-class star. If we can establish a good relationship with him now, maybe it will be a turning point for our magazine in the future."<

/p>

"Moreover, people from Sports Weekly suppress and retaliate against a promising young player because of personal grudges. This is simply a crime. As a journalist, my conscience does not allow me to stand by and watch."

"Xiaoyan, I admire you for sticking to your principles." Yan Ruo's stubbornness gave Zhong Tao a headache, and his tone became a little impatient, "But reality cannot be changed by your persistence, even if that Li Wei becomes

So what about stars like Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai? Even Fan and Sun, can they compete with "Sports Weekly"?"

"You misunderstood, Brother Zhong, that's not what I meant."

"Hey, that's right," Zhong Tao thought Yan Ruo had compromised, "Go back to China as soon as possible. The company is waiting to take care of you."

"No, Brother Zhong, I don't mean that Levi will become a star of the level of Fan Zhiyi and Sun Jihai," Yan Ruo paused, then said, "but a star of the level of Beckham and Irving."

"What?" Zhong Tao almost jumped up from his seat, "Are you crazy?"

"I'm very sober, Brother Zhong," Yan Ruo was very calm, "I know this sounds crazy, and I'm not a senior scout, but I believe in him, just like you believe in me."

"Damn it! I don't care what kind of ecstasy soup that Levi poured into you," Zhong Tao was already a little angry. "I said I believe you on the basis that you can still maintain your past judgment, but now, I must

It’s time to reevaluate.”

"Brother Zhong, I know that you can't believe my words, and I don't want to go into details about how rare Li Wei is, because I believe you will realize it sooner or later," Yan Ruo was a little helpless, but he didn't intend to persuade in this regard.

The other party has another reason. In his opinion, Zhong Tao will never refuse, "I know, Brother Zhong, it has been difficult for you to maintain the magazine stall these years, and you don't want to take any unnecessary risks.

”

"But the magazine is like this now. Even if we give in, lower our heads, put our tail between our legs and make a living, honestly picking up the leftovers from big magazines, how can we develop into something like that?" Yan Ruo improved.

"Isn't it as tepid as it is now, or even making ends meet?"

"There is an opportunity in front of us now. The people at Sports Weekly are obviously seeking revenge and confusing right and wrong. I have no evidence, but we don't need to go to court with them. I just need to publish what I saw and heard.

It’s enough to come out, and everyone will see a different Levi.”

"Of course our voice is not as loud as that of "Sports Weekly", but when the time comes, there will always be many fans who still have basic judgment and will stand on our side and form a public debate, leveraging the momentum of "Sports Weekly"

, our reputation will definitely rise."

"And what about Sports Weekly? After all, they have a guilty conscience. As long as Levi develops according to the current momentum, sooner or later their conspiracy will be exposed. By that day, there is really no certainty who will win and who will lose!"

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"Risks always coexist with opportunities. Going against a big, intricate newspaper like Sports Weekly certainly has risks, but it's also an opportunity! We have nothing to lose anyway, so why not take a gamble?

What?"

Yan Ruo finished speaking in one breath, and the other end of the phone fell into silence for the first time.

Seeing that the other party didn't speak for a long time, Yan Ruo added another fire:

"Brother Zhong, I don't know if you still remember what we said when we were drinking together six years ago, but I remember. We said that to change Chinese football, we must give this decadent, dark, and puddle

The backwater-like environment brings something different!"

"Now, I believe I have found it. Li Wei is the person who can bring about changes. I believe him." Yan Ruo said firmly, "Brother Zhong, even if you don't let me publish this report, I will find someone else."

I must tell everyone what the real Levi is like through channels, blogs, post bars, forums or other paper media. I must not watch the hope of Chinese football be destroyed in the hands of those bastards like Zhou Yan!"
p>

After Yan Ruo finished speaking, he heard a deep breath coming from the other end of the phone, followed by Zhong Tao's voice:

"Yan Ruo, I believe you this time! Go with them! In the worst case, you won't be in this business anymore. It's not interesting to be in front of the editor-in-chief of Lao Shizi anyway."

"You go back and revise this article. Your position must be clearer and your words sharper. I want to turn this interview into a declaration of war against their Sports Weekly!"

If Yan Ruo smiled, he knew that Brother Zhong was still the same Brother Zhong after all.

"Okay! Leave it to me!"

※※※※※※

Yan Ruo was encouraged. After returning home, he did not hesitate to write hard and soon wrote a sharper article.

However, before publishing, Yan Ruo still consulted Li Wei for ventilation.

It was only at this time that Li Wei realized that his reputation was almost stinking in the country.

Yan Ruo originally thought that Li Wei would be furious. After all, young people are inevitably impulsive, but Li Wei's reaction surprised him. He seemed to be very calm.

"Brother Yan, please help me issue a statement after the interview."

"Huh? What to write?"

"The general meaning is that I will consider pursuing legal accountability for the untrue remarks made against me."

"Okay. By the way, I also know some lawyer friends in China. Do you need help?"

"No, now is not the time, this is just to scare them. I don't want to be involved in these things," Levi's words were calm, but every word seemed to carry considerable power, "As long as I am in Europe

If they act like this, their remarks will be self-defeating. At that time, it will be time for me to settle old scores with them!"

"You're right," Yan Ruo admired Levi's calmness, "but I'm worried that these bullshit remarks will have an impact on your daily life."

"How is that possible? Can they still cross the ocean to scold me?" Li Wei smiled, "Besides, I believe there will always be sensible people in China. Brother Yan, if you publish this interview, the public opinion will not be the same

It’s one-sided.”

"Okay, it seems that my worries are a little unnecessary. Levi, Brother Yan can't help you with anything about football, but I will help you defend the position of public opinion!"

Yan Ruo's manuscript, in addition to the first exclusive interview with Levi, also includes what he saw and heard when he went to Sopuak and Billy Bar later. It has a lot of content and accounts for almost half of "Football Half Moon Talk"

length.

Therefore, after it was published in China, Zhong Tao made a decisive decision and directly published a special edition, which only published Yan Ruo's interview. It also had a low-looking but eye-catching title like a tabloid - "Exclusive Reveal! Study Abroad"

The training life of rising star Levi".

As soon as the special issue came out, it caused an uproar.

For the first time, the "Football Half Moon Talk" magazine was in short supply. The magazine had to reprint three times in a row to barely meet the demand. This also made Zhong Tao excited, and he was glad that he made the right move.

Although "Sports Weekly" generally has the upper hand, because the "Football Half-Month Talk" article is very detailed and clear, and there is no ambiguity like Zhou Yan's report, many fans have turned to support Li

Wei. Polarization has also appeared in major football forums and post bars.

"Someone really helped Li Wei. It seems that he must be the second generation of rich people, maybe he is the second generation of officials!"

This is from Sports Weekly.
