Football: I can see player entries.

Chapter 199 Another Gathering

Li Yanqing was unaware that Cazorla had gone to Arsenal.

What they didn't know was that he actually wanted to take Basselli and Justin with him on his way back.

But even if I knew all this, I wouldn't say anything.

He was fine with it as long as others didn't set their sights on Quinn.

"Sir, the next match is in a week."

"Alger asked me to bring you a letter."

He said he hoped you could attend a party in his place...

In the office, Neville was handing over an invitation.

"Again?"

"I didn't go to the last one."

Although Alger was physically disabled, he was still a socialite and often attended all sorts of strange and unusual gatherings.

But what Li Yanqing didn't understand was why he was always being asked to do things?

"It's said that the people who went this time are all real big shots."

"But none of them have anything to do with football."

"Alger said that if you don't have time, you don't have to go."

“Go, why wouldn’t I go?” Li Yanqing confirmed the time and place of the banquet and then said decisively.

"I'll find someone to go with me."

"I've run into some problems lately..."

In fact, Li Yanqing has encountered quite a few problems recently.

The data systems face many difficulties, which has resulted in slow progress.

The main reason is that his assistants are not comprehensive enough, and many problems can only be addressed during meetings.

Lehmann had excellent professional skills, but he wasn't good at coaching attacking players.

Nave is good at training players, but not so good at other things, and he lacks experience.

As for John's team, they are pure theorists who only care about data.

So he's planning to hire someone else.

The best is someone like Chris who knows a little about everything.

Since there are no matches scheduled for the next week, he can use this time to ask if there are any suitable candidates.

As for the person being questioned...

Two days later, at the airport.

Alger said the party was high-class, so the location definitely wouldn't be in Burton.

But it's in the capital.

Li Yanqing arrived here ahead of time, having already arranged to meet the other party here.

"Hey!"

"Ruo Ze!"

"long time no see!"

"It's only been a few months, not a long time." It was Mourinho who came out of the airport. The famous coach, who had been enjoying a comfortable life at home for a short time, was called over by Li Yanqing again.

He looked visibly unhappy, blaming the latter for interrupting his vacation.

"Have you encountered any problems again?"

"Why didn't you just ask me over the phone?"

"You always have to find a reason to lie... No, this party is really high-class." Li Yanqing chuckled as he helped Mourinho into the car.

Although the old man's expression was serious, he was actually very kind-hearted.

I agreed without saying a word.

"Okay, actually that's not important."

"I just wanted to find a place to talk to you about some recent issues."

"It's a lot, very complicated, and will take some time."

"As for the gathering, just consider it a chance to get some free food and drinks."

"You definitely prefer red wine to beer."

Li Yanqing has some understanding of Mourinho.

He frequents high-end venues year-round, where beer is practically nowhere to be seen.

"I'm very picky, unless the wine there is really good..."

A few hours later, they arrived at a private estate at the address on the invitation.

"Is this really a venue for a party?"

"Even more outrageous than renting a hotel..."

This manor is clearly the property of some nobleman; its daily rental price could be equivalent to Li Yanqing's entire year's salary.

"That's normal."

"To be honest, I've seen even more outrageous things."

Mourinho shrugged, leaving Li Yanqing somewhat at a loss for words.

"Okay, let's find a quiet corner to eat something."

"Then let's have a good chat..."

"No, for a gathering like this, we should first greet the host."

"Isn't that basic common sense?"

It's clear that Mourinho is indeed very experienced.

He went upstairs skillfully and disappeared for about ten minutes before returning.

"it's OK now."

"Our seats are over there."

"Huh? There are assigned seats?" Li Yanqing asked, puzzled.

"Didn't the person who sent you tell you what occasion this is?"

"I'm a little surprised that you know someone of this caliber."

As Mourinho spoke, he couldn't help but smile.

This piqued the former's curiosity.

"It wasn't mentioned on the invitation."

"There's nothing on it except for the time and address!"

Li Yanqing really didn't understand these things, and he usually declined such activities whenever possible.

Nothing in his life was more important than studying tactics and managing the club.

"It's okay, you'll find out soon enough."

"let's go......"

Two hours later, while Li Yanqing and Mourinho were discussing a certain issue.

The soft music playing at the party suddenly stopped, and then a voice could be heard.

"Number 92, is Mr. Alger here?"

"Number ninety-two, Al..."

"Hey, that's your seat. They're calling you from upstairs." The person sitting in front of Li Yanqing turned around and patted him, interrupting their discussion.

"Uh, excuse me, what happened?"

"You don't seem to be Alger, are you? Are you the one representing him?" A waiter came over and handed Li Yanqing an envelope.

Whether he knew Alger or Li Yanqing, he knew that it wasn't Alger himself who had come.

"You're really lucky."

"If all goes well, this money will be enough for you to live on for a long time."

"Lucky?" Li Yanqing still didn't understand what the other person meant.

He simply picked up the envelope and started reading.

It still contains invitations, but this time the reason for the invitation is written down.

A lady's birthday party.

"What does this have to do with money?"

Li Yanqing asked the question again, but now no one was answering it.

Other invitations appeared to be being sent out at the scene.

"Let me tell you, Li."

"The envelope you just received is the first one, number 1."

"This means you will be sitting in the seat closest to that lady."

Mourinho explained.

"so what?"

"It's just that we're sitting a little closer."

"Would I receive enough money to buy Neymar or Mbappe just for a seat?"

"Why don't you understand?"

"That wasn't a birthday party; it was the host family choosing a husband for their daughter."

"This should be called a blind date."

"If you can get her, you can buy the entire Ligue 1, let alone Neymar and Mbappe..."
