Chapter 278 - 278: Members Meet!
“Xiao Tian, how did you end up in Modu?” Liu Qingsong had just gotten off the plane when he saw a familiar face walking not far from him and quickly walked up.
“Hey, Qingsong, what a coincidence!” Xiao Tian was also surprised to meet someone familiar at the airport.
“Are you here to play? I heard you were about to be traded, and now you have the leisure to travel!” Liu Qingsong looked puzzled at Xiao Tian.
“I’ve already been traded, and what about you? Why are you here in Modu?” Xiao Tian replied indifferently.
“I’ve been traded too, they said the club is in Modu!” Liu Qingsong shrugged, looking somewhat bewildered.
“You don’t think we’ve both been traded to the same club, do you?”
“Don’t jinx it, but it’s actually possible!”
As they chatted, they walked out of the airport and saw a middle-aged man in a white shirt holding a sign with both their names on it!
“Hello, I’m Xiao Tian! I’m Liu Qingsong!” Xiao Tian and Liu Qingsong exchanged glances, a hint of amusement in their eyes. Indeed, they had been traded to the same club.
“I was sent by Director Ling to pick you up. Please follow me!” The middle-aged man, seeing that both had arrived, put away the sign and led them to the parking lot.
“Get in, 1’11 take you to the club first.” Xiao Tian and Liu Qingsong looked at the luxurious Bentley in front of them, feeling a bit stunned but quickly regained their composure and got into the car.
The car left Pudong Airport and headed towards Dongjiao No.i in Pudong New Area.
On the way, Xiao Tian and Liu Qingsong didn’t speak. After all, they were newcomers, and it wasn’t easy to strike up a conversation, especially when they didn’t know who was driving.
Soon, the car arrived at Dongjiao No.i, a car that had been pre-registered, and drove straight in without any hindrance.
“Qingsong, is this… is this going to be our club from now on? This place is too luxurious!” Xiao Tian couldn’t help but swallow his saliva when he spoke.
“It should be. Look, the car drove right in. This doesn’t look like a club; it’s more like a castle!” Liu Qingsong was also nervous at this point. After all, he had never seen such a luxurious villa before, and it would be the place where he and others would live in the future.
“We’re here. Just take your luggage and go inside. The boss is waiting for you inside!” The middle-aged man parked the car and let Xiao Tian and Liu Qingsong carry their own luggage inside.
Upon hearing this, the two of them quickly opened the car doors and took out their suitcases from the trunk. They glanced at each other nervously and carried their luggage inside.
Meanwhile, Zhou Chao was sitting on the sofa in the living room, chatting with Meng Sanqian and Hongmi. Meng Sanqian and Hongmi were the club manager and coach, respectively. Meng Sanqian was brought over by Ling Chen that day while Hongmi had been recruited by Zhou Chao with a lot of effort.
“Meng Sanqian, Hongmi, I’m leaving the club to you. These five players from the trade are ail very talented. I hope you can turn them into a competent team as soon as possible.”
“Don’t worry, boss! We’ll definitely make a splash before the summer season!” As the future head coach of the club, Hongmi also knew the background of the five traded players and was confident in their abilities.
“Mmm, I’m confident with you in charge. If there’s any need for additional personnel, discuss it with Meng Sanqian.”
“Understood, boss!” Meng Sanqian and Hongmi quickly responded.
Just as Zhou Chao was about to continue speaking, they heard a noise at the door. Everyone’s gaze turned in that direction, and they saw two people entering with their suitcases.
“Xiao Tian and Liu Qingsong are here. Go and receive them, and show them around the club, help them choose their rooms.”
Meng Sanqian and Hongmi quickly got up and walked over.
“Coach Hongmi?” Xiao Tian and Liu Qingsong were familiar with some well-known coaches in the league. They didn’t expect to see Hongmi joining this club!
“Xiao Tian, Qingsong, welcome! Let me introduce you. This is the club manager, Meng Sanqian. Manager Meng, I’ll take them to pick their rooms first and then familiarize them with the environment.”
Immediately, Meng Sanqian and Hongmi led the two newcomers to their living quarters. Each bedroom was spacious, and they looked around for a while before each choosing a room with a view of the garden.
While Hongmi and the others were getting acquainted with their surroundings, Si Cong also arrived at the entrance of Dongjiao No.i with a few others.
“Si Cong, our future club is inside here. It’s so luxurious!” Si Cong and his companions had been in Shanghai for a long time and heard about Dongjiao No.i.
“I envy where you guys are living. I found you a good home, and our boss is not an ordinary person. As long as you perform well, you won’t have to worry about your future. He treats his own people very well, so put away any hidden agenda and treat him well!” Si Cong’s words made the three of them happy and worried at the same time. They didn’t know if they could achieve good results.
They soon arrived at the villa’s entrance. Si Cong led the three of them straight in, and the people who were playing on their phones saw Si Cong and greeted him.
“Si Cong, you’re here!”
As for Si Cong’s companions, they were shocked to see that their future boss was Zhou Chao, someone they had played games with in the club before. All three of them were speechless!
“What are you all staring at?” Si Cong’s words snapped them out of their daze.
“Young Master Zhou!” the three of them shouted in unison.
“Yeah, go upstairs and find Hongmi. He’s showing your teammates around. You should join them!” The three of them nodded in response and headed upstairs. After all, they had long wanted to see what Dongjiao No.i looked like.
“Why are you the only one here? Where’s Houting? Didn’t he come over early in the morning?” Si Cong couldn’t help but be curious when he didn’t see Houting around.
“Well, he received a call from home and had to go back. After all, this funding is urgent for his family. He’s been pulled back to work as a laborer!” Si Cong no longer dwelled on this issue after hearing the explanation.
He sat down on the sofa with Zhou Chao and started chatting.
“Are you going to keep the club’s name as OMG in the future, or are you thinking of changing it?”
“I’ll change the name, but I haven’t thought of a new name yet. How about you give me some suggestions?”
“Never mind, it’s better for you to think of it yourself. I don’t want to get involved!” Si Cong quickly waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t want to be involved in naming the club.
Zhou Chao didn’t dwell on the matter either. Although the current name was not great, it didn’t really matter.
Soon, Hongmi came downstairs with a group of people. Among the crowd, Xiao Tian and Liu Qingsong saw Zhou Chao and Si Cong chatting on the sofa. They were a bit surprised to see their boss familiar with Si Cong.
“Is everyone settled in? Let’s go and have a meal together. From now on, you’ll be comrades sharing the same pot, so I hope you can integrate into the team as soon as possible.”
Then, the group of people headed out together..
