Chapter 128 Unlucky and Lucky

On July 29, Wu Bufan's contract with Antwerp has almost been negotiated. He will fly to Belgium on the same day and undergo a medical examination two days later.

When I went to see him off, Long Bisheng was a little sad, because as soon as Wu Bufan left, he was the only one left in Yunjia among the seven people. Wu Bufan understood his mood very well, but he couldn't comfort Long Bisheng—because this was not a problem he could solve—so before leaving, Wu Bufan just hugged Long Bisheng, and then got into the car.

After the car started, Wu Bufan suddenly stuck his head out of the car window and shouted at Long Bisheng: "Aaron! Don't be discouraged! Don't think wildly! The good news will come soon!"

Long Bisheng laughed, waved his hand towards the car from a distance, and then stood there until the car disappeared from the horizon.

Wu Bufan's good wishes came to nothing, and the news came a day later, but it was not good news.

"Dragon of U-17 must win! Answer the phone!"

A staff member of the club yelled at the training ground. Long Bisheng, who was doing confrontation training with his teammates, was taken aback. He immediately stretched out his hand to indicate that it was him, and then ran out of the training ground.

"You are Long Bisheng?" The staff glanced at him with a smile: "On the third floor of the office building, in the chairman's office..."

"Chairman's office?" Long Bisheng was stunned again. He knew that the chairman's office mentioned by the staff was not the one used by Pei Wei. After Pei Wei left, the office he used was no longer used. The current chairman, Li Qiang, also used another office. This was not requested by Pei Wei, but Li Qiang did it voluntarily.

Long Bisheng walked quickly to the office building, came to Li Qiang's office and knocked on the door, the kind Li Qiang came to open the door for him, and then pointed to the phone on the table: "The call from Italy...is related to your transfer."

After finishing speaking, Li Qiang smiled at him gently, then walked out of the office and closed the door for him before going out. Obviously, Li Qiang might have known the content of the phone call and wanted to leave him enough space.

Long Bisheng picked up the phone nervously: "Hello? I'm Long Bisheng."

Immediately there was a sobbing sound from the phone, and Long Bisheng's heart tightened. He had already recognized Ning Xi's voice: "Ning Xi! What's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Is something wrong?"

Ning Xi choked on the other end of the phone and said, "I'm sorry, Aaron, I messed up your transfer..."

Hearing this, Long Bisheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "I thought something happened to you? So you were crying because of this? What happened to my transfer? Did Naples not want me?"

Long Bisheng tried his best to make his voice sound relaxed, but his heart was not at all relaxed—he was looking forward to playing football in Italy, very much, very, very much——there are so many players in China now, how many of them play in Italy?Counting all the past and present, including those who played in Serie A and Serie B, you can count on ten fingers.

Ning Xi's sobbing became softer: "It's not that they don't want you, it's that they have no way to want you now... Aaron, to be honest, you are too unlucky."

I'm unlucky?Long Bisheng was a little confused.

Long Bisheng was really unlucky.

Originally, the negotiations between Ning Xi and Naples were going smoothly. Pessaola had been a scout for Naples for 30 years. Although his status in the club was not high, his prestige was not even comparable to that of the chairman of Naples. The player he recommended was naturally valued by the Naples club, and this player was so high quality and cheap - young players under the age of 17 might not need to transfer tens of thousands of euros, but they could find a more suitable substitute for the striker. This kind of business was done well.

But just when the negotiation was going smoothly, even half of the ownership of Long Bisheng was bought out for 1 euros. The contract lasted for three years, and the regulations for determining the ownership of the players after the expiration had been drawn up. But at this time, Naples had to terminate the negotiation.
In fact, Naples almost suffered relegation last season due to financial problems. If it weren’t for the protection measures of the local court in Naples, they would have been relegated last year. Before the start of the 05-06 season, their financial problems were again. Guaranteed, please do not take your seat).

"That's how it happened. Now Naples is all focused on dealing with this problem, and they can no longer buy players unless they can pass the financial review... So our negotiation can only be terminated." Ning Xi finally said to Long Bisheng.

"...That's something that can't be helped." Long Bisheng reluctantly said, "Xiao Xi, there's no need for you to cry. This has nothing to do with you, it really doesn't matter... If you want to blame it, you can only blame me for being unlucky."

Ning Xi comforted him a few more words, and then hung up the phone. Before she hung up, she said that she would return to China in a few days, and then she would come to Long Bisheng again.

Long Bisheng sighed silently in his heart, just now he had used a lot of effort to control his emotions - this blow was indeed quite big, and at the same time it made people very helpless.

No one could be blamed for this, neither Ning Xi, Long Bisheng himself, nor Yunjia Tianyu Club could do anything about this matter, if it was to be blamed, it could only be blamed on the poor management of the Naples club!But if the club goes bankrupt, Naples will lose much more than Long Bisheng...

Long Bisheng stood there in a daze, when the door rang behind him, Li Qiang pushed the door and came in, he walked around Long Bisheng, sat down at the desk, playing with a delicate lighter in his hand.

Only then did Long Bisheng come back to his senses, and smiled apologetically at Li Qiang: "I'm sorry to bother you, Mr. Chairman...I'm going out right now."

"It's okay, I don't mind." Li Qiang smiled gently: "I already know about you... In this matter, your luck is not very good, not every player will encounter this kind of thing."

Out of politeness, Long Bisheng stopped walking out of the office, and then looked at Li Qiang.

Maybe Mr. Chairman wants to comfort himself—but now I really don’t want to hear comfort. All he wants now is to be quiet—but out of politeness and respect, I can’t just walk away. Besides, Mr. Chairman is also kind.

"People have three disasters and six prosperity, and there will always be unsatisfactory times in life." Li Qiang took out a cigar, put it under his nose and sniffed it, with a look of nostalgia on his face: "Long Bisheng, do you know that when I graduated from university 20 years ago, because the university I studied did not cover assignments, I had to find a job by myself. At that time, it was not easy to find a job. Of course, it is even more difficult to find a job now... I have worked in many jobs, but I am unlucky, even more unlucky than you."

A smile appeared on Li Qiang's face: "In my first job, I worked as an accountant in a company, but I was fired after a month of work, because I directly credited the boss's note for going to the bathroom once without changing the purpose, and then the boss' wife found out."

Long Bisheng couldn't help laughing—it's no wonder that such an accountant isn't fired.

"Then I got a few more jobs, but they didn't last long before I was fired. I always encountered some inexplicable misfortune—the last time was working in a restaurant—washing dishes. After a week of working, I was about to put away the washed dishes. A careless guy just knocked over a bottle of oil on the floor.

"In half a year, half a year, I changed thirteen jobs, but I lost every job due to some inexplicable reasons. At that time, I thought, am I born to be unlucky? Then I met my nobleman." The smile on Li Qiang's face became more and more obvious.

"Which noble person?" Long Bisheng couldn't help asking, he was still the kid who liked to listen to stories.

"It's my current boss, Pei Wei." Li Qiang laughed: "After following him, I started to change my luck...From his assistant, to the director of Yunjiatianyu's European branch, and now the chairman of Yunjiatianyu...When I was unlucky, I never thought that I would have today."

Then he looked up at Long Bisheng: "There are always times when people are unlucky, but there are always times when luck changes...People can't be lucky forever, and they can't be unlucky forever... Misfortunes depend on blessings, blessings rest on misfortunes, and life is just problems on top of each other. Good things and bad things always come in turn. I met my noble person, how about you? Have you ever met a noble person? Which one is more unlucky or lucky? A glass is half full of water. If I had been depressed because of my bad luck, I don't think the boss would have let me, a worthless guy, stay by his side."

Long Bisheng was silent, and then he bowed deeply to Li Qiang: "Thank you, Mr. Chairman, I think I should still be lucky."
