Chapter 18 Good or Bad
Mrs. Cruz is 60 years old and an ordinary Malaga resident. She just retired this year and was a sewing worker before retirement. According to the legal retirement age in Spain, she still needs to work for five years to be considered formal retirement, but her increasingly disobedient physical condition forced her to retire early. Although the pension would be smaller, there was nothing we could do about it. Fortunately, her husband was formally retired, and the pensions of the two people combined, life was worry-free.
At this time, Mrs. Cruz was standing at the door of a house with a homemade pastry in her hand, with a somewhat contradictory expression, as if she was hesitating whether she should press the doorbell of the house that had not been opened for several days.
Logically speaking, the old lady who has lived here for nearly thirty years should be extremely familiar with the environment here, and she is not a person who is not good at socializing. Not only that, in the nearby area, Mrs. Cruz should be one of the most popular people, because she, who was once a sewing worker, often takes the initiative to help others in this regard, while those who are willing to help others are always popular.
However, the enthusiastic old lady encountered an unpleasant thing some time ago. A young couple came next to them some time ago. The handsome man and the beautiful woman were a couple, and they looked very beautiful. So the enthusiastic old lady made pastry to visit. Unexpectedly, as soon as the door was opened, the young woman gave Mrs. Cruz a cold and alert face. After Mrs. Cruz explained her purpose to send pastry, the woman
Her face still did not relax at all, but she finally accepted the pastry. The old lady originally thought that it was just the first time the other party arrived, but in the evening, when she saw the familiar pastry that was still intact in the trash can while she was taking out the trash, everything completely changed. Mr. Cruz, who had a hot personality, came to the door to say something regardless of the old lady's obstruction, but unexpectedly, the other party's words made the old man speechless.
We don’t eat strangers’ things. Besides, since the things are given to me, it is my freedom to deal with them.
After returning home, the Cruz couple, who had never blushed in their lives, blushed for the first time. So, before God planned to come to this house where things had changed again, the old man tried to stop her from making fun of herself, but the old lady still came. However, when she fell down in front of the door, she seemed to remember what had happened before, but she was a little hesitant. At this moment, the door opened by itself.
The door opened was a young oriental man with black hair and eyes. He seemed to be quite shocked by Mrs. Cruz who suddenly appeared in front of his door. However, when he saw the pastry in his hand, his shocked expression immediately eased.
"Who are you?"
"Uh... Oh, I live next door to you, you can call me Mrs. Cruz." Although the other party was an oriental person, her expression became natural after seeing the person, and her face was filled with a warm smile. She pointed to the house next to her and said, "Are you newly moved here? I just came here to say hello and welcome you here. This is a little thing, I hope you like it."
As she said that, the old lady handed over the pastry, her eyes were paying attention to the other person's expression intentionally or unintentionally. What made her happy was that the young man happily accepted her gift.
"My name is Lin Sen, I'm very happy to know you." The young man's tone was very polite, "Thank you for your gift."
Then the young man bowed and invited her into the house to sit. Naturally, the old lady could not really go in and sit, but she glanced at the room from the corner of her eyes, and soon her expression became a little weird.
"Sorry, I'm busy with work recently, I haven't cleaned up yet, and the house is messy." Obviously, I noticed the change in my expression, and the young man explained with a smile.
"It is a good thing for a young man to work hard." The old lady also smiled and nodded, then said goodbye and left.
When he returned home, when the old man saw the old lady's hands empty, he snorted coldly and said, "Don't look back and see it in the trash can." The old man seemed to have not heard the old man's sarcasm. As soon as he got home, he would talk about something good about the young man. The old man was impatient, but he was a little curious, so he asked about the passing. The old man said it again. Unexpectedly, the old man frowned and asked, "Lin Sen? Chinese?"
"I didn't ask this, I'm an oriental anyway."
"Wait." The old man thought for a while, then got up and went to look for something. After a while, he found a newspaper, and then pointed to a photo on the newspaper and asked if it was this person.
"It's him." The old lady felt a little magical. How could that young man appear in the newspaper?
"He is the new head coach of Malaga." The old man was also a little surprised and said.
"Head coach? So young?" The old lady widened her eyes. Although football is common in Spain, not everyone cares about it. The old lady is one of them.
The old man did not answer, maybe he felt that the explanation was useless. He was not a fan of football, otherwise it would be impossible for the old lady to not know Lin Sen. Football is just a condiment for him, and whether there is or not will have much impact on life. Of course, if there is a large event like the current European Cup, he will still pay attention.
The head coach of the local team Malaga has become his neighbor?
This feeling is like a rare supercar coming towards you while driving. Apart from novelty, the two cars that have no intersection at all will eventually be staggered and then run to their respective destinations.
In my ears, the old lady started to mutter again.
----------------------
The European Cup is still in full swing, Livermore is still in a state of anxiety, Sans still ignores it, while Lin Sen is still in dire straits.
Determination is easy, but the process is difficult.
Nineteen teams, including the league and various cup matches, counting more than 400 games. Speaking of this, Lin Sen has to thank his short coaching career at Atletico Madrid, because although the ending of that experience is not pleasant, at least he can watch many, many videos now. However, there are still many videos left. Each game is 90 minutes, filter out some time that has nothing to do with the game. Even if you watch ten games a day, it will take more than one month. Moreover, Lin Sen has to make his own records in every game. So, to put it in a more vulgar sentence, Lin Sen has no time to masturbate now, let alone clean up the house.
Until today, Linson received a call from Livermore and asked him to go to the club, he planned to go out, but unexpectedly he met Mrs. Cruz when he opened the door.
Lin Sen, who often "moves" at Mrs. Cruz, is naturally not unfamiliar with Mrs. Cruz's visit. Although it is not something that can be encountered in every place, Lin Sen is not opposed to the way such neighbors have good relationships. There are good people in this world. Don't complain about bad people, and don't refuse when they meet good people. Distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Lin Sen, who has been far away in a foreign country for many years, has more experiences that others don't have, especially with his Chinese identity.
Although with the rise of China in recent years, foreign concepts towards Chinese people have gradually improved, it is undeniable that many people still have an almost blind discrimination against Chinese people. Among European countries, Spain is precisely one of the countries where such discrimination is more common. Not to mention, the incidents of Spanish TV insulting China have not occurred in two cases. Taking Lin Sen's short coaching process at Atletico Madrid as an example, not to mention that Atletico Madrid's senior management has never seen him as an agent coach, and even the fans' views of him have not changed much. Although Lin Sen led Atletico Madrid to slowly return to normal track, when he left, what he received was nothing but some sparse applause.
Lin Sen has not encountered such things. He doesn't want to complain about anything. If someone step on him, he will step on him back. If someone helps him, he will never be stingy with his gratitude. It is simple and direct. People respect me for one foot, I respect others for one foot, and people destroy me for one foot, and I win three fights. This has always been Lin Sen's principle of being a human being. The so-called respect is established in this way. It is not based on the benefits of words or words, nor is it by the drums of the waist bag. The so-called conquering people with virtue is too ideal.
When he arrived at the club, Livermore threw a document to Lin Sen as soon as he met. Lin Sen picked it up and turned it over a few pages. It was the contract information of all the current team members, including the contract term, annual salary, special terms, etc. Lin Sen didn't need to know these things, but since Malaga had handed over the transfer rights to him, there was naturally no need to hide them from him.
Linsen just browsed a little, closed the document, turned around and smiled and asked Livermore how the Italian negotiations were. Before that, Linsen knew that Livermore had reached an agreement on behalf of Malaga and Inter Milan to loan Bonucci for free for one season, waiting for the players to nod. Then Livermore concentrated all the funds on Lanokia, in the form of cash plus special terms, that is, a commission for a second transfer.
"One.2 million plus fifty percent of the next transfer. One.5 million plus thirty percent of the next transfer. I gave Arezzo two choices. And as you mean, they have been notified that this is the final offer." Livermore replied with a calm look on his face, "They have not replied yet."
Lin Sen nodded.
For the pair of Bonucci and Ranokia, Malaga now has the best efforts to do so, let it leave its fate. However, Lin Sen is still quite confident about the completion of these two transactions.
