Fourth watch!
-----
At the beginning of the evening, Qin Xiong and Sylvia met in the bustling business district of Amsterdam.
Sylvia wore a simple and elegant dress, looking gentle and generous. She handed a small gift box to Qin Xiong and congratulated him on becoming the new Champions League champion.
Qin Xiong smiled and took the gift box from her. He asked with a smile, "What is it?"
"Open it and take a look."
Qin Xiong opened the gift box and found that it was a glasses box. He was puzzled.
My eyesight is very good. I'm not short-sighted.
When he opened the glasses box, he found that it was a fashionable pair of sunglasses.
Sylvia explained, "I saw the report a few days ago. You seemed to be very uncomfortable facing the flashes of the reporters in Gelsenkirchen. If you're not being interviewed, you can wear sunglasses. You're a star now. Maybe you'll look good wearing them. Try it?"
Qin Xiong immediately put on the casual black sunglasses. After putting them on, he looked around and then asked Sylvia, "What do you think?"
Sylvia chuckled and said, "Well, it's cool."
Qin Xiong immediately bowed his head and laughed. He liked this gift.
"Let's go. I'll help you choose a suit!"
Qin Xiong took off the sunglasses and put them back in the glasses box. He went to the shopping center with Sylvia.
The two passed by clothing stores side by side, paying special attention to the stores that sold high-end suits. Qin Xiong suddenly said to her, "The club will hold a celebration party the night after tomorrow. Do you have time?"
Sylvia stopped and asked with a reserved smile, "Are you inviting me to be your female companion?"
Qin Xiong's face was a little unnatural and slightly red. He braced himself and nodded. "Yes! I invite you to attend as my female companion. How about it? Are you willing? "
Sylvia put away her smile and said lightly, "Well, okay, I'll seriously consider it."
Qin Xiong's heart suddenly felt empty. He felt as if he had been tactfully rejected.
Sylvia took a step forward, then turned back and said to him, "Well, I've thought about it. I accept your invitation."
Qin Xiong couldn't come back to his senses. Seeing his expression, Sylvia immediately burst into laughter. She was extremely charming.
Qin Xiong helplessly shook his head and said to her, "Why are you like my friends? I'm very serious, but you want to see me make a fool of myself."
Sylvia hurriedly put on an apologetic expression and said, "Sorry, sorry, there won't be a next time. But your expression just now was really interesting. You didn't embarrass yourself. "
"What's that?"
"I'm not telling you."
Sylvia's mouth curved into a charming smile.
Qin Xiong might not be able to understand the happiness in her heart, because at that moment, she saw Qin Xiong's obviously disappointed expression because she only said that she would consider. To a certain extent, this represented her position in Qin Xiong's heart. Knowing this made her secretly happy.
Qin Xiong, who was wearing a suit for the first time, felt a little uncomfortable, but this made Sylvia excited. She kept asking Qin Xiong to try on different styles of suits.
Qin Xiong, who was tall and slender, looked like a brand new person after wearing a suit. Not only did he look more refined, but he also looked particularly handsome.
In the end, Qin Xiong bought a slim-fit suit that Sylvia thought looked the best on him. After Sylvia declined, Qin Xiong also gave Sylvia a gift. It was an evening gown. It was not very expensive, but it made Sylvia look more radiant and beautiful when she wore it.
After having supper together before they parted, the two agreed to meet the day after tomorrow. Qin Xiong would pick up Sylvia.
.....
The next day, Qin Xiong changed into casual clothes and went to the club. He boarded the championship parade bus with his teammates and paraded in the city.
They received the mayor's reception and praise, and also gave a passionate speech in the square. Today, Amsterdam's traffic was congested and the streets were empty.
Every Ajax fan proudly cheered for the team and was full of respect for the three trophies that were passed around in the hands of the players.
Eredivisie champion, Dutch Cup champion, Champions League champion!
Treble champion!
Ajax's players were completely relaxed. After the championship parade, except for the players who had families left, the rest of the players took their girlfriends and went straight to the nightclubs to continue partying!
Ajax's players naturally went to the most upscale and popular nightclubs in the city.
They seemed to have become VIPs and were warmly entertained by the nightclub owner.
For example, the players who were considered single by the outside world were favored by more beautiful women than before. Although Qin Xiong also came to the nightclub, he just danced and chatted with his teammates to the loud music. He did not want to do anything else, nor did he want any erotic stories to happen here.
Therefore, he rejected wave after wave of beautiful women who tried to strike up a conversation, which made Snede, who was sitting next to him, snicker all the time.
When no one came to disturb Qin Xiong again, Snede leaned over and asked in his ear, "You're sure you're going to transfer out this summer, right?"
Hearing this question, Qin Xiong did not hide it anymore and nodded to Snede to confirm.
Snede was absent-minded for a moment, and there was a faint sense of loss in his eyes.
He then told Qin Xiong what was happening in the club.
Now the team was rushing to renew the contracts of the players in the team. The players who had long-term contracts were naturally at the back, like Snede, who was the primary target for renewal. If Snede wanted to renew his contract, of course, he could not only consider the contract benefits given by the club.
He needed to know the club's plan for next season. At least two points had to be confirmed.
Would Comain still be the manager?
Would the Ajax supermarket open in the summer?
If there was a new manager, or if other capable teammates were sold out by the club, Sneijder would have to reconsider if he wanted to renew his contract, even if he wanted to stay in Jax for a few more years to train.
In this regard, the club did not hide or deceive their own youth players, and even Snede, whose younger brother was in the club's youth training system.
Comain would stay. This was the first point that had been confirmed.
The second point was which players' futures in the team were uncertain.
The first to bear the brunt of this was Qin Xiong.
Because Qin Xiong's contract was the least secure, with only one year left, the club could not bear the risk of losing him for zero return.
Qin Xiong's departure was almost an unchangeable foregone conclusion.
Next was the other players. The club would do its best to keep the main players. The board of directors probably hoped that the team could continue its glory. It was a fantasy to say that they would defend the Champions League title next season, but at least to reach the top eight or top four, which would be a huge stimulus to the club's income in the European competition. This season's harvest was quite rich.
Ibrahimovic wanted to leave. There were powerhouses in Italy who were willing to take him away, but considering the decline in competitiveness after losing Qin Xiong, Ajax's top management would list Ibrahimovic and Van Der Vaart as not for sale.
As for the other players, either their contracts were very secure and the club had the confidence to keep them, or they were still young and willing to stay at Ajax like Snede and continue to fight.
Qin Xiong felt a little upset after listening to Snede's words.
He felt like a traitor.
As a result, his mood was a little low.
On the contrary, Snede comforted him and told him that Ajax was not the final destination for these teammates. Everyone would definitely leave when the time was right.
Qin Xiong was not running away, but marching ahead of them!
.....
On this day, Freddy sent a note to the Ajax club, hoping that the club would listen to the transfer offers from other European clubs for Qin Xiong as soon as possible.
At the same time, he also secretly conveyed to the club representatives who were interested in buying Qin Xiong: Qin Xiong would make a transfer decision before the middle of June, and we hope to get him. Please work on this transfer as soon as possible, and tell us your sincerity and your future plans to recruit Qin Xiong.
From that day on, many European clubs were quoting Qin Xiong. The faxed offers to the Ajax club were like a tidal wave, and the offers continued to rise.
It started from €5 million and stopped at €10 million.
On the afternoon of the second day, the owner of the Ajax club, Van Praag, once again lost his temper in the office, scolding the elite European clubs for being a group of stingy bastards!
Paris Saint-Germain, Lyon, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Newcastle United, Bayer Leverkusen, Werder Bremen, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia ….
Obviously, with the special situation of Qin Xiong having only one year left on his contract, the top European clubs were not fools.
There was no need to compete maliciously.
The Ajax club would not risk keeping Qin Xiong and let him leave for free, so Qin Xiong would definitely be sold. No matter how high the price was, it would only benefit the Ajax. It was better for everyone to reach a tacit understanding and cap it at €10 million. The extra budget would be used to fill in the contract as a show of sincerity to buy Qin Xiong. Wasn't that better?
On this point, even the wealthy and overbearing Chelsea was no exception.
