That night, Wan Sheng drank a lot of beer, and his head was a little heavy when he got home. He lay down on the bed and fell asleep directly. When he opened his eyes, it was already ten o'clock.

This day is a holiday, and all the players are on holiday, but Wan Sheng still has to get up because there is a club celebrating the cocktail party at noon.

The reception was located on a nice estate outside the town of Great Derbyshire.

This is the villa rented by club chairman Pearson. It is said that if the club is fine, Pearson plans to buy the entire estate in the summer so that he can settle in the town of Greater Derbyshire for a long time.

When Wansheng finished sorting out and drove to the car, there were already many people at the party.

Wan Sheng glanced at him and found that he didn't know most of them, but it seemed that they were Pearson's friends in the business circle, and some were contract partners and advertising endorsements at Derby County Club. Wan Sheng could recognize those middle-aged people with straight suits, and they were the agents of several star players in the team.

Seeing Wansheng coming to the venue, many people came over.

Wan Sheng has no friendship with most people, but with his team-leading performance this season, he has definitely had some influence in the English football circle. Of course, those advertising endorsements and Pearson's friends are not welcomed. However, football agents or media reporters still want to be familiar with Wan Sheng, especially football agents. Many people know that Wan Sheng is good at cultivating young players, and they are eager to introduce the players they signed.

What if this young Chinese man likes their players, wouldn’t it mean that he has an extra future big star?

Wan Sheng understood what these people think, but he didn't like this atmosphere.

People who are close to themselves are purposeful, while people who have nothing to do with them have no intersection at all. Such a purely profit-based communication method may be reality, but Wansheng still doesn't like it.

After being polite to some people for a while, Wan Sheng took a glass of red wine and walked to the corner alone to sit and watch.

At this time, the cocktail party was about to begin, and the protagonist was undoubtedly the club chairman Pearson. This was also the cocktail party he personally held for the league championship. The invited players, agents, journalists, and friends were all known and familiar to Pearson, so before the start, a group of people were surrounding Pearson.

Pearson just took over the club, so he naturally had to talk about some topics related to the team.

"I'm lucky. I just came here and won the league championship!"

"But I believe that Derby County Club can do better in the future under my leadership, and I always believe that the league championship is just a start to success, or a…"

"But for Derbyshire, commercial expansion is also very important, and we will not refuse any possible win-win cooperation..."

Pearson said, a group of people listening.

Pearson said it to the media reporters who came. Others were not interested in his words, and more people would only ask some questions related to their own interests. As for the future of the Derby County Club, even if they say that the sky has come, it has not happened yet.

They passed these "declarations" directly in their minds.

Soon seeing that the time was almost over, Pearson said sorry, walked to the middle with a glass of wine, and announced to everyone that the celebration of the official start of the reception.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Sorry for bothering, but I have to say a few more words!"

Pearson's behavior was very graceful, "I believe everyone who came here knows the purpose of today's cocktail party. Yes, we are just to celebrate the Derby County Club's league championship!"

"I took over the team in April, and I had such a big surprise just a month ago. I really didn't expect it. But in the game the day before yesterday, we defeated Manchester United and indeed brought the league championship back to the club one round ahead of schedule!"

"Here, I want to thank all the fans who support the club and all the players who have worked hard for the club for a season!"

As he said, Pearson's voice grew louder and louder, "But I also have to mention a person who is the biggest contributor to the club's league championship!"

"He is only twenty-seven years old, he is younger than some players, but the work he does for the club and the contribution he makes to this championship is definitely something that others cannot replace..."

"He is the team's head coach - Mr. Wansheng!"

"We welcome him!"

After Pearson shouted Wan Sheng's name loudly, he put down his wine glass and clapped hard with his hands. The others also clapped hard. Everyone looked at Wan Sheng sitting in the corner.

Wan Sheng didn't expect Pearson to call him.

Since the contract renewal with the club was not negotiated, although both sides did not break up, they both knew that Wan Sheng would definitely leave at the end of the season. Wan Sheng's contract renewal had long stopped negotiations, and both sides agreed to this result. Because of this, even if they lead the team to win the championship, there is no need for the new chairman to thank himself like this, because it is completely useless.

If you are outside, for example, when facing fans, saying these words can at least satisfy the fans. After all, Wan Sheng's influence in Derby County fans is much higher than that of the club's new senior management.

But this is a private cocktail party. People who came to attend the cocktail party did not have pure Derbyshire fans. This style was completely meaningless, but perhaps in the eyes of others, Pearson just wanted to thank him simply... Wan Sheng suddenly understood the purpose of the new chairman.

Wansheng absolutely does not believe that Pearson simply wants to express his gratitude to himself.

It’s not that Wan Sheng beats human nature so badly, but that Pearson and Sam Rush have been very "interested" since taking over the club. If you really thank him sincerely, you can talk to him on the phone or in private, but Pearson did not do this. From the day before yesterday to now, this is the first time that Wan Sheng has heard Pearson thank him, and in front of many people, at such a high-end cocktail party.

So what must be Pearson's purpose... to make others feel that he is sincere?

This guy just wants to do personal favors, making others think that he is extremely grateful to Wansheng and wants to keep Wansheng to continue coaching the team. When the season is over, Wansheng will leave again, many people will think that he is going to leave himself, not what the club has done.

This is obviously what Pearson’s purpose is.

At present, many influential figures and media reporters, the effect of doing this is definitely quite good, but it’s a pity that Wansheng is not made by mud.

If this is put on other head coaches, even if they see through Pearson's thoughts, they will be dissatisfied and on the surface they will have to be gentlemanly.

But Wan Sheng did not follow Pearson's script.

He stood up with a smile on his face, walked to Pierson, and said to everyone as if he was motivated, "I am very happy to lead the team to win the league! I have been coaching in Derby County for more than two years. I dare this Derby County is built by me..."

Many people nodded when they heard it.

Wan Sheng continued to whisper, "I know the team very well, and it is not as expected that I can achieve results now. Next year, next season, my goal is to defend the league championship! I believe that by then, players such as Raphael, Frank will definitely perform more maturely, that is, we have the hope to win more rounds ahead of schedule..."

After saying that, Wan Sheng raised his wine glass and signaled to everyone, and then killed it in one sip.

Everyone at the cocktail party also applauded and everyone had a drink together. Many people talked about Derby County next season, but Pearson, who was standing behind Wan Sheng, looked a little bad. He knew very well that Van der Fate and Ribery would definitely leave next season.

This is also the biggest contradiction between Wansheng and the club!

The club's failure to give Wan Sheng the transfer rights is very related to these two transfers, so Wan Sheng will definitely leave at the end of the season. Pearson originally wanted to install the "victim". He needed to express his absolute support for Wan Sheng. When Wan Sheng left, that would be Wan Sheng's problem, no wonder others.

But now Pearson can only smile bitterly.

Pearson suddenly realized that this guy not only gave his opponent a headache in the game, but also was much better than those pure football coaches in "instigation". If he was in the business circle or political arena, he might be able to make a good future.

No, he already has an investment company, and it is said that it has been developing rapidly in the past two years, and the total asset appraisal has long exceeded 10 million pounds.

Thinking of this, Pearson suddenly realized that as the chairman of the Derby County Club and the spokesperson of the G-Sex Consortium, he is really not as good as the young head coach from China in his career.

...

Wansheng ignored what Pearson was thinking, and after he finished speaking, he sat back. He didn't like the atmosphere here, so he planned to stay for a while and leave.

A half-bald middle-aged man came over and sat in front of him.

Wan Sheng looked up and was stunned for a long time before recognizing that it was Marwood, the youth director of Manchester City club.

They met twice. The first time was three years ago. Wan Sheng applied for a job at Manchester City Club. He was the interviewer of Malwood. Unfortunately, there was no result in the end. But Wan Sheng had a good impression of Malwood. Malwood was one of the few people who did not have the "discrimination" race and age in his job search. The second time he met was when Derby County and Manchester City were playing against Manchester City. Malwood was the temporary coach. The two also said a few words, but did not have any in-depth conversations.

Wan Sheng didn't expect to see Malwood here.

Malwood held the wine glass and congratulated the Derby County champion, then asked with concern, "Wan Sheng, I heard that your contract renewal negotiations are not going well?"

Wansheng nodded.

This is actually no longer a secret in the English football circle.

"It is said that Mr. Sheffield, chairman of Newcastle United, is very interested in you?" Malwood said again, and this sentence made Wan Sheng widen his eyes in shock, and he suddenly felt the extraordinaryness of the semi-bald middle-aged man in front of him. (To be continued.)
