Chapter 661 Absent-minded and Restless

After finishing his extra training in the afternoon, when Rong Guang returned to the locker room, it was already empty.

He went to take a shower alone, and after he got out of the shower, he began to change his clothes.

Just as he was getting dressed and packing his backpack, his mobile phone in the bag rang.

When I picked it up, it was an unfamiliar number.

Rong Guang ignored it.

After the bell rang seven or eight times, I hung up.

Rong Guang had already packed his things and got up to go out.

But just as he was walking to the parking lot, the phone rang again.

Still the same number.

Rong Guang hesitated this time, but finally picked it up.

"Hey, who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Rong?" A slightly deep male voice rang out from the phone, speaking in...Portuguese.

Rong Guang froze for a moment, and also cut into Portuguese: "It's me, may I ask who you are?"

"Hehe, let me introduce myself. I'm Jorge Mendes. I'm a Portuguese agent. I'm calling you just to meet you. Do you have time?"

Once he heard that the other party was a manager, Rong Guang knew what he was doing.

"I don't have time right now, I'm going home soon..." he said.

"Oh no, not now, we can meet tomorrow if you want..."

Rong Guang didn't bother with him, but just found a reason to dismiss him: "Then let's talk about it later. I'm driving now, so it's not convenient to answer the phone. If I'm free, I'll contact you."

The other party did not continue to persuade Rong Guang, but said: "No problem, my phone is always on 24 hours a day, waiting for your call at any time."

As a big-name agent who has gained a reputation in European football, he is still very polite and polite to Rong Guang.Because if you want to win Rong Guang's favor, you must lower your posture...

During dinner time, Rong Guang talked to Deborah about what happened today.

"Barack's agent wanted to invite me to dinner tonight, but I declined."

Of course Deborah knew why Michael Becker invited Rong Guang to dinner, so she was surprised why Rong Guang refused: "Why didn't you agree?"

"I think it's early..."

"Actually, it's not too early. I won't do it after this season, Rong. So I ask you to find a new agent for yourself from now on." Deborah said.

"Is this the last season?" Rong Guang asked Deborah.

Deborah nodded: "Well, it's the last season. After this season, I won't be an agent, not just yours, but Lucas's too. I won't be anyone's agent anymore."

After saying these words, it is reasonable to say that Deborah should feel relieved, but for some reason, at this moment, Deborah feels a little sad after saying these words...

Rong Guang was silent for a while, and then asked: "Who is Jorge Mendes?"

"A great agent."

"Is it better than you?" Rong Guang continued to ask.

"Of course!" Deborah laughed. "Much better than me. He can now be regarded as the most famous and proud agent in European football. With Mourinho's success, he has promoted many Portuguese players under him to European giants. He used to work for Figel and was responsible for Portugal's business. Later, he became independent and did it himself..."

Deborah introduced eloquently that, as a colleague, she knew Mendes very well.Because in fact, she is also secretly getting to know European managers, and she also wants to choose a reliable successor for Rongguang.

"What's wrong?" she asked after the introduction.

"He also called me this afternoon."

"Oh!" Deborah smiled lightly, "You are very hot right now, the gem that everyone wants, Rong."

"It's a bit annoying. He also wants to ask me to meet."

"Then go and meet, there is nothing to refuse. Mendes is a very capable agent, and he has a good relationship with players. If you can let him be your agent, you will not worry about money. I suggest you go and meet him."

Rong Guang tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay."

After dinner, Deborah cleaned up the tableware, and Rong Guang sat on the dining chair and took out his mobile phone to call Mendez.

He didn't save Mendez's number, but through the "answered calls" function, he can turn to Mendez's phone number.

After the call was made, Rong Guang could clearly feel the joy on the other side.

"Is it Rong?"

The sound is full of joy.

"It's me, Mr. Mendez. I've thought about it, why don't we... meet tomorrow night?"

"No problem, no problem! No problem at all! I'll arrange it tomorrow night, just wait for my call!"

Mendes was delighted.

He believed that he would be the first team agent to contact Rong Guang.

I must seize this opportunity and persuade Rongguang to sign a contract with me.

If you can pull Glory into your camp, then your empire will become more stable...

※※※

Deborah was washing dishes in the open kitchen, and she could not only see, but also hear Rong Guang call Mendez.

Although she herself suggested that Rongguang meet Mendes.

However, when all this really happened, she had a feeling that someone was going to steal her things.

Deborah recalled how she sat on the ground and cried when her favorite teddy bear was taken away by others when she was a child.At that time, it felt like the whole world was collapsing, I was very wronged, I just wanted to cry loudly, and then hoped that someone could comfort me, or snatch my teddy bear back from the other party and give it back to me.

But at that time, no one came to help her, so she kept crying until her voice was hoarse, until it was dark, everyone left, and she was the only one left.

Neither my mother nor father showed up...

Deborah shivered violently, her eyes refocused, and she realized that she was still washing the dishes—she had been distracted just now.

That's right, no wonder my parents didn't show up, they're all dead...how could they still show up in front of me?Hehe, I'm so stupid.

After the second day's training, Rong Guang didn't go home. He drove directly to meet Mendes at the restaurant he had made an appointment with.

In the box of the restaurant, he saw this capable and shrewd Portuguese middle-aged man, and beside him was a young and beautiful blonde.

"This is my secretary, Miss Sevia." Mendes took the initiative to introduce.

Sevia smiled sweetly, and handed her hand: "I have long admired your name, Mr. Rong."

When Rong Guang shook hands with her, he could feel the warmth in the palm of her hand, and the skin on the palm was very slippery.

After the two parties were seated, Sevia went out, called the waiter, and signaled him to start serving food.

This is a very high-end restaurant, even Rong Guang has never been here - not because of the money, but because it is unnecessary.

The waiter first brought up a few bottles of wine, and Mendes asked Rongguang to choose.

Rong Guang waved his hand: "Uh, I'm a player and I don't drink alcohol."

Mendes said with a smile: "No wonder you are able to achieve such remarkable achievements at such a young age... Such self-discipline is really rare!"

Then he chose a bottle of wine at random.

Next, while the waiter was busy, Mendes chatted with Rong Guang.

He didn't talk straight to the point, but chatted with Rong Guang in Portuguese about the last round of Bayern Munich's challenge to Leverkusen on the field.

"...I personally dislike that way of playing football. Excellent players are artists, and art should be protected and not treated so roughly... But what I admire most is your fighting spirit in the game, which is amazing!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Rong, your performance in the competition made me feel short of breath and my heart beat faster..." Miss Sevia next to her interjected shyly.

Rong Guang scratched his head and smiled honestly: "I just want to win..."

"Well said! As a professional player, if you want to succeed, you must have such an idea-no matter how bad the situation is, don't give up the idea of ​​​​winning!" Mendes said a little excitedly.

In this way, Mendez took the lead, and Ms. Sevia occasionally interjected, acted like a baby, acted cute, and adjusted the atmosphere. The two sides did not talk about business.

But Rong Guang was a little absent-minded.

Because he remembered... the experience of coming out to eat alone with others without Deborah around him... It seemed like he hadn't seen it for a long time.

In the past, he would take Deborah with him wherever he went, especially when he attended such an occasion, he must be accompanied by Deborah, and when he needed to talk about serious matters, it was Deborah's turn to appear.In fact, Rong Guang doesn't need to take care of anything, he just needs to be a mascot.

Now I am about to discuss a big event with Mendes, but there is no Deborah by his side.

It was like losing the pinnacle of the sea, Rong Guang was born restless, and he was not used to it.

※※※

At the same time, Deborah sat alone at the dining table at home, poking the black beans on the plate with a fork, but did not put them into her mouth.

She is also a little absent-minded...

She is not looking up at the clock hanging on the wall.

At this time, Rong Guang should have sat down with Mendes to talk, right?
I don't know what they are talking about?
Have a good time talking?Still have their own concerns?
Is it cautious, or straight to the point?
Although she had already decided to leave Rongguang, but this time, when Rongguang went to talk to another agent alone, for the first time, she really felt that her days with Rongguang had entered the countdown.

The feeling that time dwindled in front of her every minute and every second made her uneasy.

For the first time, Deborah found out that she hated counting down the clock, and how bad it felt when the clock ticked down to zero.

Deborah's supper was tasteless.
