Today Cui and his family returned to São Paulo from a visit to China, and he invited me to his house tomorrow, and I was very interested in what he had brought back from China. That mysterious country has always fascinated me...... They said they brought me something back and I would love it...... I'm so curious, what is it that I like so much?

It's amazing! Guess what I found? Choi showed me a tape they shot in China! In the video, I saw a Chinese teenager who ran fast, had a flexible body, and had super athletic talent! He can run freely in the mountains barefoot and has agility that is more agile than a dog! I don't think I'm wrong, he's a genius, he's going to be a world-class player in the future! Is my terrible agent career finally about to usher in a glorious future? I decided that I would go to China and bring him to Brazil!
God forbid, I hope I didn't look away this time......

After a month of preparation, I finally came to China! Tomorrow I will go with Choi to his hometown, where he is said to have photographed the teenager...... Hopefully I can find him without a hitch.

Finally found the boy named Glory, but met a competitor. According to Choi, it seems to be a local track and field team...... Fortunately, at the critical moment, I used 20,000 yuan (about 6,000 reais) to get him! It seems that the teenager is very fond of money...... It's good to like money, I'm afraid he's a lazy worm with no motivation and fighting spirit, I've seen and heard too many so-called idiots who are talented but have no motivation to turn talent into strength at all...... Money can also be a motivator, can't it? We all love money, and who isn't?
But we couldn't go straight away, because Rong insisted on waiting for his family's new house to be built, and he was a stubborn child, but his home was really too dilapidated, and I really doubted that a gust of wind could blow it down...... Fortunately, I plan to take advantage of this time to teach him Portuguese and go to Brazil, if I don't understand the language, I can't afford to go.
Anyway, I Cui helped me find a relationship to apply for a work visa, and I still have time.

It was unbelievable, I never imagined that I would be able to spend Christmas in a remote mountain village in the northwest of China......
It's starting to cool down, and it's supposed to be snowing, but it's still summer when I came, and I didn't even bring warm clothes...... Thank God, the Rong family's new house was finally built, and we were able to leave China...... I was amazed at Rong's talent for learning, he had basically mastered conversing in Portuguese—he couldn't write yet, and he stumbled to read, but he had no problem listening and speaking. Perhaps, as he boasted, if it weren't for the fact that his family was too poor, he would have gone to the county town to attend middle school and eventually become the first genius in the village to be admitted to university, instead of herding sheep in this poor ravine and keeping a dog company......
I told Rong that he could get ahead without going to university, because he was also a genius in football! Even though he hadn't started to play football yet – I forgot to bring it with me when I arrived, and there was obviously no football for him to play in the village – I was convinced that he could apply his language skills to football...... He's going to blow the whole of Brazil by surprise!
But the most important thing is his body! His athletic talent, which cannot be cultivated by training, is truly a gift from God!

Damn it! Hell Edward Simos! Hell Corinthians! They were so arrogant that they didn't even give us a chance to try! You'll regret it! You'll regret it! I promise! When you succeed in the future, you will definitely regret humiliating me so much today!

What happened to sixteen? Can't you play football anymore at the age of sixteen? Don't you all see the extraordinary talent and talent in him?!
Why did every club just hear that he was a Chinese, and after he was sixteen years old, he was not interested?
Some people say that I have a problem with people's eyes...... Am I really having a problem with people's eyes?
Isn't Rong a genius?
No!
Perhaps the failure of my previous career as an agent does have a lot to do with my vision of people...... But this time it must not be!
Rong must be a genius!
I'm convinced!
Well, Corinthians, Santos, Palmeiras, Fluminense...... Sooner or later, you will regret your decision now!
Tomorrow, I'll take Rong to São Paulo, which is famous for its youth training and has also developed a Kaka, and Rong's speed is similar to Kaka, so I think maybe there will be a chance.
This is the last chance to do so. If it doesn't work, I'll take him to another state to try his luck......
A bunch of short-sighted mediocrities!
