I rode a Kawasaki H2 to school, only to find out the school beauty was my ex-girlfriend.

We arrived at the hotel.

Unlike the hotels I've stayed in before.

The destination was a mansion completely hidden by a heavy wooden gate.

"Wow, is this where we'll be resting tonight? It feels like the kind of courtyard only wealthy families in period dramas could afford to live in!"

Mo Xiaodi's burning gaze swept across the door.

I can't wait to experience what it's like to live there.

Luo Sha lightly punched Mo Xiaodi, his sturdy body straightening up.

"Can you please stop acting like Grandma Liu visiting the Grand View Garden? We are athletes who have fought for our country and have even built some impressive homes abroad. It's only right that we stay in places like this. Besides, is this place any better than a five-star hotel overseas?"

As they were talking.

The door was slowly opened.

The scenery inside the door gradually came into view.

The courtyard is quiet and spacious, and the bluestone path in the middle looks irregular, but in fact it has an inscrutable pattern.

There are two shallow pools on the left and right.

The protruding stones along the edge of the pool.

It's obvious at a glance that each one is quite valuable.

Both sides are planted with ornamental trees that look very valuable.

"This...this is so beautiful!"

Raksha rubbed his eyes.

I can't believe I'm staying in a place like this today.

Even Lin Yun, who was standing at the very front and owned multiple luxury homes, was slightly surprised.

Even just standing outside the gate, you can feel the understated luxury of this elegant courtyard.

Those luxurious villas and estates.

Compared to this small courtyard, they seem like nouveau riche.

"Looks like I'll have to get one of these sorted if I have the time."

Lin Yun muttered to himself.

He led everyone into the courtyard.

I thought the area inside wasn't very big, but once inside, I discovered that there were more than 20 luxurious yet understated houses, each with at least four rooms.

Just as everyone was admiring this extremely rare mansion.

A middle-aged man wearing a traditional Chinese robe walked out.

He first introduced himself to everyone.

Only then did they kindly offer a reminder.

"Heroes, almost everything here is a priceless antique. You are free to look at and touch them, but please be very careful..."

After the reminder ends.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and left the residence.

Next, everyone can choose freely.

The central main building was naturally reserved for Lin Yun.

"This place has good needlework!"

Lin Yun looked out at the courtyard through the wooden lattice window.

The slightly fluctuating and excited mood gradually calmed down.

He took out his phone, and after seeing that the signal was full, he began to check where his robot, Liu Qingyan, was.

Originally, the plan was for her to fly back to China with Sun Leyan.

But at the security checkpoint.

It will definitely not pass.

They simply turned it off, put it in a wooden crate, and transported it back to Jiangcheng.

After checking, it was found that Liu Qingyan has arrived in Jiangcheng and will soon transfer to the station she filled in. She should arrive tomorrow!

The local specialties and gifts I brought for everyone will arrive around tomorrow.

I put away my phone and admired the classical and elegant mansion one last time, especially the ancient clock located on the left rear side of the main building. I thought to myself that this thing must be a very valuable antique. Then I took a bath and went to bed to rest.

.........

The next day.

The morning light is slightly dew.

The clear sound of the ancient bell rang throughout the mansion.

After everyone got up and washed, they went out of the mansion and gathered outside the gate.

Mo Xiaodi turned back reluctantly and couldn't resist taking a few more photos of the mansion.

"I love this place so much! When I make a lot of money in the future, I definitely want to buy one!"

Haha~

Everyone was greatly surprised upon hearing this.

Mei Beibei, in particular, almost choked with laughter.

He put his arm around Mo Xiaodi's shoulder and said, "Xiaodi, you'd better not even think about it. Even the highest-earning football stars like Ronaldo probably couldn't afford half of this house even if they exhausted their entire fortunes!"

"That's right, among those present, the only one who could afford a house like this is probably President Lin!"

"I specifically checked last night; any single item inside could sell for millions to hundreds of millions!"

Rakshasa smiled and nodded in agreement.

Their eyes were filled with endless amazement at the mansion.

I got into the car, and it was the same driver who had struck up a conversation with me yesterday.

The driver looked bewildered.

"You're going to the National Reception Hall later. That place is only used to receive the most distinguished guests of the country. Our Dragon Country hasn't used that place for almost a year."

The National Reception Hall?!

The people in the car were slightly shocked when they heard the name.

They never expected the country to attach such importance to them and to receive them with the highest level of hospitality.

I heard that the last person to be received using the National Reception Hall was a very friendly national leader from China.

Luo Sha became even more nervous and quickly took out the small mirror he had prepared beforehand, starting to tidy himself up from head to toe.

soon……

The vehicle arrived at the reception hall.

Lin Yun holds the World Cup trophy covered with the national flag.

Stepping onto the stone steps, we walked step by step towards the National Reception Hall at the highest point.

After climbing the thirty-nine stone steps, you walk onto the red carpet on the smooth, mirror-like marble floor.

Upon entering the magnificent hall and seeing a group of reporters with cameras already set up, as well as familiar leaders standing in the middle, the entire Chinese national football team couldn't help but feel their breathing quicken.

They knew they might have to meet with these leaders.

But when that moment truly arrives, no one can calm their heart.

Lin Yun glanced at his father standing on the edge of the area and almost burst out laughing.

It seemed to be the first time he had ever seen his father, Lin Lao Er, so serious.

I took a deep breath.

Lift the World Cup trophy and bring all your teammates with you.

He quickly approached the leader, shook hands warmly, and then took a group photo.

After taking photos with these leaders whom I usually only see on television and receiving their congratulations.

Lin Yun was the first to regain his composure and calmly accepted the medal of honor personally awarded to him by the sports bureau leader who was standing to the side.

Then...

Every player on their team.

This includes the head coach and all coaches in the coaching staff.

One by one, they went on stage to express their gratitude to the country and the people.

Jiangcheng!

Inside the Qianliuyuan Villa.

In front of several relatives, Wang Li burst into tears.

The relative beamed, "Sister Li, Xiaoyun is so outstanding! He won the World Cup for our country, and now he's taking individual photos with so many leaders in this hall. If my son were as good as yours, I'd probably wake up smiling every morning!"

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Before, I only thought he had good grades, but I never imagined that one day he would bring glory to the country. Having such a son is a blessing I've accumulated over eight lifetimes!"

Wang Li wiped away her tears.

Looking at his son's figure on the live TV broadcast.

The tears welling up in my eyes couldn't be stopped no matter how many tissues I used to wipe them away.

The relatives' eyes were filled with envy.

Why are all the outstanding kids always someone else's children?

And their children...

Ugh!

Right now!

Almost everyone who knew Lin Yun.

They all wanted to announce to the whole world that they knew Lin Yun.
