When the excitement of the players had calmed down a little, Xia Ruofei clapped his hands and said loudly, "Guys! Quiet down first! Today, while everyone is here, I'll announce a few things! "
The RCD Espanyol players quieted down. Everyone turned their eyes to Xia Ruofei with a hint of expectation in their eyes. Some people even thought that since the team was in a good position to compete for a place in the European competition, would Xia Ruofei simply want to stay and play out the remaining three rounds of the game? If that was the case, then it could really be said that they could sit back and relax.
After all, the RCD Espanyol team's opponents in the last three rounds were not particularly strong. Even without Xia Ruofei, they still had to strive to win these three games, and their chances were not small. If Xia Ruofei could represent the team, it was no exaggeration to say that the entire RCD Espanyol team's fighting power would rise a lot. There was basically not much suspense in taking down the opponents in the last three rounds.
Obviously, these players were a little overthinking. Xia Ruofei certainly could not continue to stay in Spain for the next three weeks.
After he looked around, he said with a smile, "The first thing, I just discussed with General Manager Zhou. Today, we won a hearty victory, and the Sevilla team lost unexpectedly. We finally rushed to the seventh position. This is something to be happy about. So, we have decided that the winning bonus for today's game will be increased by 20%. Remember to check your accounts after it's received!"
"Long live!"
"Long live the boss!"
"The boss is so cool!"
Some players whistled, and the locker room was full of cheers. In fact, a 20% increase in the scoring bonus was not a lot of money for a high-earning professional player. It was just that everyone was in a very good mood today. When Xia Ruofei announced the good news, they all cheered like a hoot.
Xia Ruofei smiled and pointed to the young player, Pedro, who shouted the loudest, and said, "I like your good-for-nothings!"
The players in the locker room suddenly roared with laughter. Xia Ruofei waited for everyone to calm down a little before he continued, "The second thing is that if the club can enter the European competition this season, even if it is only a place in the qualifiers, the club will specially put out a sum of money as a special bonus to everyone. The specific amount is confidential for the time being, but it will definitely surprise everyone!"
This time, the cheers of the players were even louder, and this time everyone was really happy from the bottom of their hearts. Because everyone knew that since Xia Ruofei specifically mentioned this matter, once the goal of returning to the European competition at the end of the season was really achieved, the club's bonus, the amount of money.
Xia Ruofei finally said, "There's one more thing. I'll treat everyone to a big meal tonight! I've already asked General Manager Zhou to send someone to pick the place. It's definitely the best restaurant in Barcelona! Everyone, no one is allowed to be absent! In addition, you're allowed to bring your family! "
"Boss, how many can I bring?" Mark Roca asked with a smile.
"How many wives do you have?" Xia Ruofei immediately asked back.
The players suddenly laughed. One by one, they touched Mark Roca's head and asked him how many girlfriends he had.
Mark Roca scratched his head and laughed a little embarrassedly. Xia Ruofei obviously deliberately misinterpreted his meaning, but it also made the atmosphere in the locker room more joyful.
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "There's no limit to the number of people. Girlfriends, wives, and children can all be brought. This is a family gathering!"
"Understood!"
"Boss is generous!"
"Thank you, boss!"
…
Today's RCD Espanyol's game kicked off very early. Although they watched half the game in the locker room after the game ended, it was not yet five o 'clock, so the players went home to change their clothes and bring their families to the appointment. The time was just right.
Everyone chatted and laughed as they walked out of the locker room. The players still had to take the team bus back to the Daneyhalke base. Everyone's cars were parked at the training base, and then they took the bus together.
Xia Ruofei and Wu Lei walked out side by side. He said, "Lei, bring your wife and children when you go back. This is also a rare opportunity to communicate with your teammates. If you want to play in a team for a long time, it's impossible to leave the support of your teammates, so you have to learn to integrate into the team."
Wu Lei was more humble, and his attitude towards training and games was very positive. It could be said that he was a player full of positive energy, but his personality was a little shy. Coupled with the fact that he had not learned Spanish well, he did not communicate much with his teammates.
"I know, thank you for the reminder, Brother Xia!" Wu Lei nodded and said.
Xia Ruofei did not leave with the team bus, but took Zhou Leiyun's car directly back to the hotel.
Although it was Xia Ruofei's treat, in fact, it was Zhou Leiyun's assistant who handled all the work, including finalizing the restaurant at the last minute and notifying the players and coaches.
Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun chatted for a while in the hotel. At six o 'clock in the evening, together with Song Wei and Ling Qingxue, they took Zhou Leiyun's luxury business car to the restaurant.
Although the season was not over and there was still the league tournament next week, RCD Espanyol had won six points in these two rounds. One game was snatching food from the tiger's mouth from Barça, and the other was an eight-goal victory. The team was full of joy, and the morale was very high, so it was appropriate to call everyone together for a meal at this time.
Today, almost all the members of RCD Espanyol's First Team were present, including the players, coaches, and staff. Everyone brought their families and chatted happily in the high-end restaurant booked by the club.
When Xia Ruofei and his party arrived, everyone stood up and applauded to welcome them.
Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun also shook hands with everyone one by one. When shaking hands with Wu Lei and his family, Xia Ruofei also stopped to chat with them for a while in Chinese.
At this time, Xia Ruofei's identity was naturally not a player, but a team shareholder.
Of course, because of the experience of playing side by side, the players' sense of intimacy with Xia Ruofei was naturally far greater than with Zhou Leiyun.
Soon the dinner began. Xia Ruofei did not deliberately ask Wu Lei to sit at this table, but let him sit at the table with the other teammates.
Because asking his family to come over could be counterproductive, making the players feel that Wu Lei was special because he and the boss were from the same hometown. Wu Lei himself also needed to integrate into the team. Such a family gathering was the easiest way to close the gap between them.
Before the banquet began, Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun each gave a brief speech, and then everyone began to enjoy the delicacies carefully cooked by the restaurant.
Because most of them were professional players and it was not the off-season, there were no alcoholic drinks in the restaurant today. Everyone drank fruit juice.
Even so, the atmosphere of the banquet did not become cold at all because of the lack of alcohol. Everyone chatted very enthusiastically. Xia Ruofei saw that Wu Lei was chatting happily with Diego Lopez, Naldo, and the others at the same table.
Of course, with Wu Lei's current level of Spanish, it was unknown how much he could understand, but it was always an improvement. Even if he used simple words and gestures to communicate, he could still close the gap between him and his teammates.
Soon, everyone began to take fruit juice drinks to the table. Many people came to toast Xia Ruofei and Zhou Leiyun. Wu Lei also came with his wife and children to toast the two bosses with fruit juice instead of wine.
Everyone left the banquet happily. It was also a relaxation after the game. Tomorrow, they would be back in training to prepare for the league tournament this weekend.
The remaining three rounds of games were very important for the RCD Espanyol team.
The best result was naturally to win all of them. Then, no one would be able to shake their current ranking. They might even be able to move up one or two places.
Considering the match-ups of the teams that theoretically still had hope of competing for the top seven, if the RCD Espanyol team could get six to seven points in the last three rounds, that was to say, win at least two games and draw or lose the other game. Basically, if they could do that, they had a high probability of keeping their current ranking.
For the RCD Espanyol club, which did not have the advantage in La Liga on paper, there was still a certain degree of difficulty. Fortunately, their opponents in the last three rounds were not too strong. In addition, the RCD Espanyol team's morale was high, so it was still possible to win in one spurt of energy.
The premise was that the whole team was united and everyone was fully committed to preparing for the game.
With Xia Ruofei's two promises in the locker room, everyone took advantage of the dinner time on the day of the game to have a relaxed gathering together. The players were now very motivated. They were all clamoring to defeat all three opponents.
Xia Ruofei could see that whether it was the players or the manager, Ruby, they all wanted him to stay and continue to play for the team. Even if he played one more game, it would greatly increase their chances of entering the European competition. However, due to Xia Ruofei's identity, they did not dare to directly mention it.
Although Xia Ruofei was also very concerned about whether the team could enter the Europa League, he really did not intend to continue to stay in Spain.
On the one hand, it was because he had been away for more than ten days. There were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in Peach Blossom Island and the company. On the other hand, and more importantly, he had already felt that he was about to break through, so he had to rush back to Peach Blossom Island as soon as possible.
Only in an environment like Peach Blossom Island, where the spiritual energy was rich, would the breakthrough be smoother.
Moreover, no one could disturb the breakthrough process. Peach Blossom Island's large array was undoubtedly Xia Ruofei's safest guarantee.
Therefore, at the end of the dinner, Xia Ruofei said goodbye to Zhou Leiyun and told him that he would leave Spain early the next morning.
This time, Xia Ruofei had done enough for the club. Naturally, Zhou Leiyun did not dare to ask Xia Ruofei to continue to contribute to the team. When he heard that Xia Ruofei was leaving tomorrow, he quickly said that he would see him off at the airport tomorrow.
After returning to the hotel, Xia Ruofei sent Song Wei and Ling Qingxue back to their rooms. Then, he went back to his room to take a shower and went to bed early.
He did not cultivate tonight because almost all of the Qi in his body had been transformed into vitality. If he continued to cultivate, he might directly break through tonight.
At this time, Xia Ruofei had to make his foundation more solid. Moreover, the external environment for the breakthrough had to be the best. Therefore, he could only temporarily suppress his cultivation and wait until he arrived at Peach Blossom Island tomorrow to break through.
Early the next morning, Zhou Leiyun came to the hotel and personally sent Xia Ruofei and the other two to Barcelona Airport. He also helped to arrange everything.
After going through the security check in the private jet channel, Xia Ruofei and the other two took the commercial car in the airport specially prepared for high-end customers and arrived at the tarmac where Peach Blossom was docked.
Captain Liu An, who had been notified a day in advance, had already prepared with the crew. After Xia Ruofei and the other two boarded, Peach Blossom was allowed to taxi out and join the busy Barcelona Airport in the departure sequence.
At 8: 30 in the morning, Peach Blossom was allowed to take off and soon taxied on the runway and lifted off …
After stopping in Australia to refuel, Peach Blossom flew all the way to the southeast and finally landed lightly on the runway of Peach Blossom Island in the deep night.
Li Yifu and Zheng Yongshou were waiting on the tarmac. As soon as the cabin door opened, the two hurriedly greeted them.
Xia Ruofei took the lead and walked out of the cabin.
"Mr Xia!" The two called out respectfully in unison.
There were also crew members of Peach Blossom here, so the two followed Xia Ruofei's instructions and called Xia Ruofei "Mr Xia".
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Yongshou, you stay here. After the crew is done with their work, you will personally take them to a place to rest."
There were formations on Peach Blossom Island. Although the formations didn't change positions for the time being and the range of the formations was surrounded by barbed wire, Xia Ruofei was still worried that the crew members, who were all ordinary people, would accidentally break in. That could endanger their lives. Moreover, there were many secrets on Peach Blossom Island, so he arranged for Zheng Yongshou to follow them all the way.
"Okay, Mr Xia!" Zheng Yongshou quickly said.
"Yifu, let's talk as we walk!" Xia Ruofei said.
He took Ling Qingxue, Song Wei, and Li Yifu to the commercial car parked on the tarmac.
However, Xia Ruofei didn't get in the car. He only said to Ling Qingxue and Song Wei, "Qingxue, Weiwei, you two take Yifu's car. He will arrange a place for you to rest."
Obviously, he didn't want to go back with them.
Li Yifu didn't dare to hesitate in the slightest about his decision. He didn't even dare to ask. Ling Qingxue naturally didn't have such scruples. As soon as she heard this, she quickly asked, "Ruofei, where are you going?"
Li Yifu and Song Wei also looked at Xia Ruofei.
Xia Ruofei smiled slightly and said, "I suddenly had some enlightenment in cultivation, so I want to do a short closed-door training."
Then, Xia Ruofei said to Li Yifu, "Yifu, I will go to the core of the formation for closed-door training. At the same time, I will mobilize some formations to protect the surrounding area, so the position of the formation may change slightly tonight. Tell Zheng Yongshou to stay in the building tonight and don't run around!"
