Chapter 167 I'll be waiting for you at 100 Macaulay Cottage (Fifth Update)

"Don't ask, I really don't know!"

"Haozi, is it so hard for you to just say something? Just say yes or no!"

"I really don't know! What are you talking about? I don't know either! How would I know?"

"If you don't know, who does? Go ask Wei Lai!"

"Have you no shame?! Get lost, you son of a bitch! You're so annoying!"

pat!

Wang Hao hung up the phone and turned to look at Wei Lai.

Wei Lai was sitting on a bench, munching on a banana.

Snapped!
Wang Hao was furious and slapped Wei Lai on the head.

Whoops!

Wei Lai covered his head.

"What are you doing?"

Wang Hao glared: "I'm angry!"

Wei Lai scratched his head: "You're sick!"

Xie Yuanneng walked over and pointed at Wei Lai's head.

"Let me knock it too, to vent my anger!"

Wei Lai ran away in a flash.

Xie Yuanneng smiled, then said bitterly, "Damn it! Why are we the ones suffering because this kid transferred teams?"

Their phones have been ringing off the hook these past few days.

One call after another came from acquaintances, fellow villagers, friends, elder brothers, and so on, all urging me to ask.

But the club has issued a gag order, so anyone who tries to cause trouble now is doomed!

Wang Hao sighed, "Let's get this deal done quickly. My wife keeps nagging me about it, but I can only pretend I don't know. She hasn't been cooking for me for the past few days."

Xie Yuanneng grinned; "My son asked me if Wei Lai was going to the Netherlands. I asked him why he was asking, and he said that his teacher was trying to trick me into talking. Wow! That's quite a commotion!"

"That's huge!" Zheng Tao shrugged. "It started fermenting on June 23rd, and two weeks have passed now. The club still hasn't officially responded, and all sorts of rumors are flying around online. Those self-media outlets are really good at stirring up trouble. The most outrageous thing is that I saw a video saying that Wei Lai is going to join Madrid? And a lot of people actually believed that!"

"Outrageous!" Xie Yuanneng shook his head: "Just announce it officially already, this is torture!"

boom!
The door opened, and Yuan Boyang stood in the doorway, panting, and asked, "Where's Wei Lai?"

"Just ran out!"

Just as he was about to leave, Wang Hao grabbed him.

Wang Hao asked, "Is the deal done?"

Yuan Boyang exclaimed excitedly, "It's done!"

Everyone grinned.

"Fuck!"

"Awesome! It actually worked!"

"Athletics Amsterdam! A breeding ground for star players. Once Xiao Lai develops, he'll take off!"

"This is really amazing, hurry up and make it official!"

The training base office building, inside the conference room.

The windows of the conference room were all covered, making the entire room pitch black.

The screen slid down, and the projector flickered and lit up.

A European man in a suit and an elderly man with a full head of white hair appeared on the projection screen.

Inside the meeting room, Liu Chengyun, Zhang Zhenting, and other team executives surrounded Wei Lai as they sat together.

"Mr. Morton, it's been a long time!"

Liu Chengyun greeted them first with a smile.

Mr. Morton waved with a smile; "Long time no see, my old friends!"

Liu Chengyun nodded and said, "Regarding Wei Lai's transfer, the final agreement between the two clubs is a transfer fee of 150 million euros, with a 5% commission on any secondary transfer."

Liu Chengyun paused, and the man in the suit on the projection nodded; "Yes! We have confirmed it!"

Liu Chengyun smiled and said, "Now we can talk about compensation."

The man in the suit coughed and said, "First of all, Wei will be registered with our Amsterdam Athletic's first team and will get playing time fairly according to Amsterdam Athletic's rules."

"This is part of our club's development system. Everyone gets a certain percentage of playing time in their first season, and those who perform well will naturally get more!"

Liu Chengyun and the others nodded in agreement, indicating that they were aware of the matter.

"Is that alright?" Liu Chengyun asked Wei Lai.

Wei Lai nodded; "Okay!"

The man in the suit continued, "Secondly, regarding Wei's living situation in the Netherlands, we can offer two options! "First: Wei can settle in the club's dormitory building and train and play matches according to the club's regulations."

"Secondly, we will help Wei find a host family and assign him a person in charge to help him integrate into life in the Netherlands."

After saying that, he looked up at Wei Lai.

Wei Lai thought for a moment and then said, "I choose the first option!"

The man in the suit continued, "Finally, there's the issue of contract salary!"

"Our club will sign a 1+2 contract with Wei, a three-year contract. In the first year, he will have a fair chance to train and play in the first team. If he performs well, this contract will continue!"

"If a player's performance is unsatisfactory, the club has the right to demote him to the reserve team or even loan him to a satellite team!"

Is it an internship?

Wei Lai nodded and said, "I accept!"

"Finally, regarding salary, we will pay Wei a weekly wage of 5,000 euros and provide him with an Amsterdam Atlético de Amsterdam number 25 jersey. If you accept, please sign the contract!"

Liu Chengyun pushed a contract to Wei Lai and pointed to the area for signing names.

Wei Lai picked up his pen, paused, and looked up.
"Sir, I'd like to ask, how many people are in the first team in total?"

The man in the suit remained silent, while old Mr. Morton chuckled, "Kid! Including you, there are twenty-five people in total!"

"The worst performer!"

Wei Lai grinned, then signed his name at the signature area, before picking up the contract and facing the camera.

The man in the suit immediately smiled:

"Contract signed! Congratulations on joining the Atlético Amsterdam family! The contract will take effect on January 20, 2027. Please assemble at the club's training ground before January 10!"

Mr. Morton, standing to the side, smiled and waved; "I'll be waiting for you at 100 Macaulay!"

Wei Lai nodded vigorously.

pat!

The projector turned off, and the curtains around the room opened automatically.

As rays of sunlight streamed into the dimly lit conference room, Wei Lai squinted slightly.

Even though I've already signed the contract, I still feel distracted.

Am I really going to Europe?

pat!

Wei Lai turned his head to look over, and Liu Chengyun patted Wei Lai on the shoulder.

"Xiao Lai, congratulations! I hope you can deliver a great performance in Europe too!"

Bang bang bang bang bang! !

Applause erupted as all the management team stood up and looked at Wei Lai, applauding him.

Congratulations, Xiao Lai!

"You're about to go abroad to study, remember to take good care of yourself!"

"Show some spirit! Make Willie proud!"

"Keep it up, Xiao Lai!"

Amidst applause, Zhang Zhenting led Wei Lai out of the conference room.

The entrance to the office building.

Wei Lai still looked completely dazed.

Chang Chen-ting took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over.

"Want one?"

Wei Lai took it instinctively.

Snapped!
Zhang Zhenting slapped Wei Lai on the head and laughed, scolding, "Wake up! Your soul has flown away!"

Wei Lai turned his head; "I really signed a contract? I'm going to Europe?"

Zhang Zhenting chuckled and said, "If you're not going, am I the one who should go?"

Wei Lai lowered his head, then suddenly turned and bowed to Zhang Zhenting.

"Thank you, Coach Zhang!"

Wei Lai bowed deeply.

Thank you! You nurtured me!

Thank you for giving me this opportunity!

Thank you for letting me go!
Zhang Zhenting looked at Wei Lai with mixed feelings.

He gently patted Wei Lai's shoulder and sighed heavily:
Go on!

Go and make us proud!
