Moreover, look at the current players left at Real Madrid. Those who didn't have a good relationship with Chen Zhong, those he wasn't very familiar with, were basically all sold off.

For example, Van Nistelrooy, Drenthe, the two Diaras, Gago...

All were sold off.

According to reliable information, before Florentino took office, they weren't originally going to be sold, not even Guti and Raul...

Thinking about it gives me chills, really gives me chills!

This is also why, after Chen Zhong returned, he was so popular. Even foreigners wanted to show their faces and express that they had a good relationship with Chen Zhong!

And the scariest part is, as more people went to see Chen Zhong, those who hadn't gone also thought about going over to hang around a bit.

No one knows who started this comment, but it goes like this: when most people have visited someone, if you go, he might not remember, but if you don't go, someone will remember it for him.

Doesn't that just explode the situation?

This is also why Morata went along to the airport, because he had realized the reality...

During the reception, Chen Zhong received a call from his parents, and upon hearing that their son had spent the afternoon meeting some "friends," Chen Zhong's mother spoke up.

"Then you need to invite them for dinner tonight!"

"It's been so long since you've seen them, have a meal to catch up. Do I still need to teach you these things?"

"Exactly!" added his father: "You need to learn to get along with people, be smart, son."

Under his parents' crossfire, Chen Zhong nodded and agreed, and then told the people around him about this.

Nacho patted his chest and said, "Leave this to me. I'll definitely call everyone from Castilla, and for the other teams, I'll have Carvajal contact them, making sure everyone shows up."

"Since Chen is treating, they will definitely rush over, but you should be ready with a pen because they'll probably ask for your autograph!"

Chen Zhong rubbed his temples, looking at Nacho, wanting to say, "You really don't have to," but in the end, he resisted dampening Nacho's enthusiasm.

Granero, Marcelo, Pepe, and others also began contacting the first-team players who had already left.

Kaka watched all this, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Chen."

"Can I bring family members?"

"Of course you can..." Chen Zhong nodded and agreed with a smile, and it was like opening Pandora's box.

Some younger players brought their parents and siblings, some older players brought their wives and kids, and those in the middle age bracket brought their girlfriends.

In a moment, what was supposed to be a small gathering turned into a large one, and eventually, it became Real Madrid's "gala."

In fact, eventually, the new head coach Pellegrini found out, and then called to ask if he could come...

???

Pellegrini?

On the phone, Pellegrini's voice was quite gentle: "Chen, this is Manuel Pellegrini."

"I'm looking forward to working with you this season."

"I heard there's going to be a team dinner tonight. Could you tell me where it is? I think we can have a little private meeting before our official meeting."

Private, little meeting?

Are you saying, a "little meeting" or "little dinner" for a thousand people, maybe even needing to book out a big hotel?

In a daze, after Chen Zhong hung up the phone, another person called in.

And this person was Real Madrid's new president, Florentino...

What the...

Florentino even suggested that the meal could be on Real Madrid's tab.

Chen Zhong sat in his chair, watching the people around him enthusiastically making phone calls, with some even preparing to drive to pick up their family members.

And in this daze, Chen Zhong finally figured out what happened.

So, I'm hosting a dinner, but Real Madrid foots the bill?

How did it end up like this?

I was just following my parents' advice to host a meal...
