Chapter 169: Loneliness in the Heights

Jin Mao Building, also known as Jin Mao Building, is located in Lujiazui Financial and Trade Zone on the banks of the Huangpu River in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China, with a height of 420.5 meters, and is currently the second tallest skyscraper in Shanghai, the fourth tallest building in Chinese mainland, and the 10th tallest building in Shijie. Construction began in 1994 and was completed in 1998, with 88 floors above ground, 93 floors including the minaret, and 3 floors underground. It is not only a landmark building in Shanghai, but also one of the landmark buildings in China.

Han Sen booked a place in the atrium bar on the 56th floor of the Jin Mao Tower, it was the morning, and most of them were tourists from other places, and from time to time some curious guests seemed to recognize Xu Genbao and Han Sen, and cast a little surprised looks. But because of his identity, he didn't come forward to say hello.

"Why did you want to come here?" Xu Genbao looked around, "Barcelona will give you a signing fee?" ”

Han Sen hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, I've been in Shanghai for half a year, and it's the first time I've been here, I think I should meet you in such a place in order to match your identity." ”

"!" Xu Genbao smiled, "I can't come here a few times a year, what a boss do you think I am!" Stop beating around the bush and tell me what you're looking for me! ”

Han Sen said to Xu Genbao sincerely: "Coach Xu, you had the grace of knowing me back then, which made me embark on the road of a professional player, and now, as a student, I have not brought you any honor, but I have brought you a lot of trouble. ”

Xu Genbao laughed dryly: "I have been a coach for so many years, and the players who have walked out from under me, not one hundred but eighty, I have already looked down on it, since you have become a professional player, there will be this day sooner or later, but this day will come a little earlier than I thought." ”

Han Sen said: "In fact, just before this time to the National Olympic team training, I didn't think about leaving Shanghai East Asia, after all, for players of my current level, what high salary and what giants are still out of reach, but when I experienced the cruel competition of the National Olympic team, I found that there is only a higher starting point of the club, of course, I don't mean to belittle East Asia, I just mean that only by landing in European clubs other than the Chinese Super League, I can find my own position in the National Olympic team." ”

"The Olympic team is so important to you right now?" Xu Genbao raised his eyebrows and asked slowly.

Han Sen smiled bitterly and said: "My girlfriend's father is a high-ranking official of the government, according to himself, his level is still above Xie Yalong, even if it is for my life's events, I have to raise my grade a little!" Of course, the most important thing is that I am now on the path of a professional player, so I don't want to give up every opportunity, especially the opportunity of the national Olympic team. Coach Xu, you have also been a player, you are also a person who has been in the football circle all your life, as a player, money, treatment or something in the final analysis, it is still a floating cloud, every player always has a dream in his heart to stand at the highest level of competition, this is the purest idea of every player. ”

Xu Genbao sighed: "What do you mean today, do you want me not to stop you and let you go?" ”

Han Sen lowered his head for a long time: "It's okay to understand it this way, but this meeting is from my heart, this is a box of cigars brought from Spain, this is what I saw Barcelona's Jishu director Paco smoked, so I specially asked him where he bought it, and then bought it before returning home." ”

"Han Sen, you're still too honest." Xu Genbao looked at the cigar box pushed over by Han Sen, and then sighed, "The football circle is very complicated, some things are not what you imagined, as long as you can live according to your ideas, you will definitely get your results." Of course, you have now made your choice, and it is good, I respect your choice and understand your choice. Although I have worked hard for you to come and grow for you before, Barcelona will give me a return in terms of transfer fees when the time comes. Therefore, you don't have to worry about anything anymore, no matter what happens between us in the future, it can't change the fate of you and me. Don't say it, I know you asked me out this time, and you don't want to say anything at all, you just want to express a little bit of your guilt, don't feel guilty, I also said it, Barcelona will return it to me with the transfer fee. ”

As soon as Xu Genbao said this, Han Sen suddenly felt a little more uncomfortable in his heart, and he originally wanted to talk to Xu Genbao about some inner thoughts, but now it has become a more naked money relationship.

Xu Genbao saw that Han Sen was silent, and then stood up: "The European transfer window is about to close in two days, if you really want to succeed in the transfer, take the people from Barcelona to my base now, I will wait for you there!" ”

Xu Genbao's hand rubbed on the cigar box for a long time: "The doctor said that I want to quit smoking, and you will give this cigarette to your future father-in-law!" xiexie your gift, I'm going back to prepare for your negotiations. ”

Watching Xu Genbao push the cigar box back in front of him, and then turn to leave, Han Sen's eyes were suddenly filled with big tears, in order not to let others see, he hurriedly turned his head to face out of the window, at this moment, outside the window, the 56th floor overlooks the Bund in Shanghai, like a picture scroll as exquisite and magnificent. In Han Sen's eyes, it was a fragmented scene because of the dismemberment of tears.

The last time I cried was on the field of the failed defeat in the Chinese Second League, hugging Xu Yun in pain, because Han Sen lost the goal of winning and sacrificed his other future. This time he shed tears, and Han Sen was on the eve of a possible transfer to a European giant and a new starting point in his life, and the close friends of his beloved were thousands of miles away and could not listen to his own thoughts. Discovering one's own mentor and oneself are about to become strangers, even if you stand at the highest place of shijie, what kind of loneliness is that?

Han Sen just wants to ask himself, what did he do right or wrong, after he stepped into society, for his own future, he failed the team, and then sacrificed himself for the team, and now for himself again, he must be far away from his hometown, away from kindness, away from those simple happiness in football, weishenme, every step is so tangled.

Binyan looked at Han Sen who was sitting by the car window wearing sunglasses strangely: "The sun is not big today, why do you remember to wear sunglasses." ”

Han Sen said calmly: "I always met some fans in the Jin Mao Tower just now, and they always pulled me to sign and take photos, and then I felt a little annoyed, so I bought a pair of sunglasses in the store. ”

Binyan didn't know what to do, and smiled: "Don't worry, you will have more days like this in the future, you have to adapt." ”

Paco, who was on the other side of the car, looked out the window at the approaching Neho football base and couldn't help but praise: "Great football base!" ”

Because Zhang Linfan and other main players were drawn to the national youth team to play the Asian Youth Championships, and Xu Genbao and other club executives were preparing for Han Sen's transfer negotiations, there were few people on the training ground in the base.

Before entering the conference room, Han Sen suddenly grabbed Binyan, then took off his sunglasses and said, "Is there anything wrong with my eyes?" ”

Binyan gasped: "You've cried!" Fortunately, it's not very obvious. ”

"So be it! I didn't bring a bag, stuffed it in your bag. Han Sen couldn't help but say and stuffed his sunglasses to Binyan.

After entering the door, Xu Genbao and several directors of East Asia had been sitting at the negotiating table for a long time, and when they saw everyone coming in, they all got up one after another and greeted each other politely.

"I am the person in charge of Shanghai East Asia, I led Shanghai United to play against you Barcelona last year, plus this transfer of Han Sen, whether it is successful or not, we Shanghai East Asia hope to establish a good cooperative relationship with Barcelona Club." Xu Genbao said to Paco with a smile that Shanghai East Asia also invited a female translator in Spanish this time, and after the female translator translated Xu Genbao's meaning, Paco also shook hands with Xu Genbao with a smile.

Han Sen listened to Xu Genbao say his name, but he didn't look at him, feeling a little unhappy, and then sat down at the negotiation table first.
