Starting with playing defensive midfield for Evergrande

Chapter 6 being used as a living advertisement doesn't seem so bad?
He sports a signature suit and slicked-back hair, and isn't particularly tall!

It wasn't until a barrage of flashbulbs started pointing at Su Hao and the man in front of him that Su Hao truly believed Gangzi's earlier statement that the boss would come in person.

"President Xu! As per your requirements when the reserve team was first established, we have successfully provided two outstanding young players to the first team, and Su Hao is a rising star nurtured by our football academy! Of course, Coach Wang has also been working tirelessly without rest."

"Hey! Manager Li, I just did what I was supposed to do. I think that without General Manager Xu's consistent care for us, our reserve team wouldn't have achieved such results!"

The reporter, the boss, the person in charge, the head coach, and Su Hao, the newly emerged star product.

After a very traditional Chinese thank you for the leader's presence, Su Hao, surrounded by flashing lights like a star, got directly into Lao Xu's top-of-the-line custom-made car.

"Xiao Su, haven't you received any formal football training before?"

As soon as the car door closed, Lao Xu finally asked the question he had wanted to ask ever since he first saw Su Hao.

There was nothing they could do; Su Hao really was as strong as an old black man, just like their general manager had said.

At sixteen years old and 1.91 meters tall, and not the kind of tall, stick-like figure, but with visible, full muscles, Old Xu was certain that even his own team's main center-back, Feng Xiaoting, wouldn't be able to withstand a single blow from this 16-year-old!
With that physique, nobody would believe he's really a freshman at Evergrande Football School.

Old Xu was already wondering if his company's general manager had really pulled off a stunt to promote the football academy, bringing in a super genius from abroad.
But then I thought about it again, and it seems there's no need to do that!
"Mr. Xu, I used to play center-back on my school team in junior high, and sometimes I would fill in as goalkeeper. As for formal training, I only started after I joined Evergrande Football School."

Seeing the disbelieving look on Xu Jiaying's face, Su Hao calmly began to recount his past.

"Xiao Su, haven't any other professional teams contacted you before? And you..."

"No! I was discovered to have the potential to be a midfielder at our Evergrande Football School!"

After asking Su Hao several times, Lao Xu finally believed that his Evergrande Football School had truly succeeded—or rather, that he had indeed gotten incredibly lucky.

After all, a sixteen-year-old child, with those clear eyes, doesn't lie.

Old Xu was very happy, and Old Xu's happiness naturally made Su Hao happy as well.

With the boss personally involved, Su Hao's contract was so generous that even Su Hao himself was taken aback.

When the car arrived at the Evergrande club building, the Evergrande general manager was already waiting at the gate with a draft contract.

Of course, Su Hao knew very well that the general manager was waiting for Xu, who was personally helping him out of the car.

"Mr. Xu, as per your instructions, the club has completed all preparations, and Su Hao's preliminary contract has been drafted!"

When facing the real top leader, even someone at the level of general manager, they appear all amiable and obedient.

Looking at the deputy general manager holding the contract in his arms, Lao Xu was very satisfied.

After all, wasn't the reason he brought a group of media here to promote his team's emphasis on the promising talents from his football academy?
On a whim, Lao Xu gave another round of publicity for his Evergrande Football School in front of the reporters.

"Our Evergrande didn't build the Evergrande Real Madrid Football School to make money. You see, the first phase of the Evergrande Football School invested over 20 billion yuan. The basic educational facilities were designed to provincial-level standards, including a 3900-square-meter primary school building, a 4400-square-meter middle school building, an 8700-square-meter laboratory building, a 1500-square-meter library, a 3000-square-meter gymnasium, and an 1800-square-meter auditorium. Before investing all that money, I thought that even if we lost it all, it would still be Evergrande making a contribution to the future of Chinese football!"

"However, perseverance pays off. Fortunately, one of the most outstanding players emerged from the first batch of Evergrande's trainees..."

In front of the reporters, Lao Xu repeated what his company's general manager had told him a little while earlier.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

These were reporters invited by Evergrande to promote the company, so naturally, the reporters readily cooperated and quickly released Xu's remarks.

The power of money is terrifying, especially after Lao Xu made his speech about the future of Chinese football.

All major websites across the country have started displaying Evergrande's red logo!

However, unlike those who focus on how much Lao Xu has sacrificed for Chinese football, this is different.

At this moment, Su Hao was filled with surprise as he stroked the preliminary contract that had been hastily generated due to special circumstances in the general manager's office.

The contract is for 3 years, with an annual salary of 240 million RMB, plus various bonuses for goals, assists, and perfect attendance.
As for the penalty for breach of contract?
Su Hao was too lazy to even look at this stuff. Anyway, his data system had been locked for the past four years. With only the abilities of an eighteen-year-old template character, it was uncertain whether he could even gain a foothold in the first team. What the hell did he want?
"Alright, Su Hao, that's about it for the contract. However, according to the laws of our country, you are still a minor, so your guardian needs to sign it! Also, in the time it takes for your guardian to arrive, you need to undergo a formal medical examination!"

Su Hao was delighted and wanted to pick up the pen and withdraw the money, but the smiling Manager Liu opposite him told him some very frustrating news.

Su Hao was initially thinking that Evergrande was being a bit unprofessional, showing him the contract before even conducting a medical examination.

original
Damn it, he's underage!

Even after showing him the contract, he still couldn't sign it!

"All right!"

Although he was very upset, Su Hao still went to the medical examination center as Liu Yong had instructed.

Because Lao Xu wanted to make Su Hao a living advertisement for Evergrande Football School, he decided to let the reporters participate in Su Hao's physical examination process.

Su Hao was surrounded by a large group of reporters as he entered Evergrande's medical examination center.

As the pioneers of the era of money-driven football.

In addition to being a top team in Asia in terms of performance, Evergrande's hardware facilities are comparable to those of the world's top clubs.

Old Xu allowed reporters to participate in and even broadcast Su Hao's medical examination process live, which also reflects a nouveau riche's desire to show others just how wealthy he really is.

However, at this moment, no one is concerned about how luxurious Evergrande's facilities are.

Everyone is concerned about what the physical attributes of Su Hao, this 16-year-old boy who looks incredibly strong, are!
