The interview went very smoothly. Even Hua Hua herself did not expect it. In the Spanish media reports she had seen before, Li Ang was labeled as arrogant and egotistical. Moreover, when she called Li Ang before, it took her a lot of effort to facilitate this meeting.
In addition, Hua Hua Hua herself was also moved by Li Ang's story. In her mind, she imagined such a person who went abroad alone just to pursue his football dream. He suffered so much and even looked for food in the trash during the most difficult times.
When it came to this story, Li Ang didn't feel that there was anything to hide. He didn't feel that he was losing face. He was very calm, and his expression revealed confidence. This person was very frank about his experiences. He gave Hua Hua a feeling that he cherished all of this, cherishing the past.
Of course, Li Ang did not go into too much detail. He only gave a brief account of his past. However, from these bits and pieces, she could already imagine that it was not easy for him to achieve his current success.
This was a man with a story.
*****
Looking at Li Ang, the more Hua Hua Hua looked at him, the more she felt that this man was very attractive. This person did not give the impression that he was unforgettable at a glance, nor was it the kind of handsomeness that a fair-skinned young man would have. This was the kind of charm that came after the precipitation of experience. Although this person was only twenty-seven years old, he gave her a very safe feeling. It made her feel very warm and relieved. Of course, she did not forget the Li Ang she saw on the television. He was a man who showed off his abilities, like a sharp sword.
Such a man had two very different temperaments. Thinking back to the scene where she saw this person treading water like a naughty child, and when he walked into the coffee shop and saw her eyes that were full of stories, Hua Hua Hua Hua had a strong interest in this person. This was a man who was like a mystery.
"Mr. Li Ang, did you really say something to Real Madrid's Mr. Rodriguez that would make Real Madrid regret it?" Hua 'er asked. She was really curious. That was Real Madrid, a super wealthy Spanish family. How could he dare to say such a thing?
Li Ang looked at the flowers. His current state was that he kept unconsciously associating this girl with the stamen of the flower. He knew that this state of his was very wrong. This was mostly due to the emotions and memories that had long been buried deep in his heart. Because he saw this girl's appearance, he could no longer hide it and it fermented out.
"Do you also think I'm talking big?" Li Ang asked with a smile.
Hua Hua wanted to say, "Of course," but when she saw this person's smile, a very gentle smile, very confident, she swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. The girl responded with a reserved smile.
After the interview ended, Hua Hua expressed that she would send the report to Li Ang for a look after it was published. Li Ang nodded in agreement.
The two of them shook hands and said goodbye.
Li Ang held her soft little hand and looked at her deeply. "Goodbye!"
He turned to leave.
Looking at the man's back as he turned and left, Hua Hua suddenly felt that this back was so lonely. She had a feeling that this had something to do with her.
"That —" Hua Hua subconsciously opened her mouth.
"Hmm?" Li Ang stopped and turned around.
"That, are you looking for a girl called Hua Rui?" Hua Hua asked softly.
Li Ang looked at this pair of beautiful eyes and shook his head gently. "No, she has always been in my heart."
Li Ang nodded slightly and left. He pushed open the door and disappeared into the rain.
"Your umbrella." Hua Hua saw the black umbrella, pushed open the door and shouted.
"Take it and use it." Li Ang didn't turn around and just waved his hand. He noticed that this girl didn't bring any rain gear when he came in.
She took the black umbrella and watched the man's back disappear into the rain. Hua Hua pursed her lips and was a little dazed.

"You don't know what's good for you!"
"Bastard!"
In an apartment in Madrid, a middle-aged man scolded in exasperation.
He was the reporter from Daily Sports, Gao Bo, who called Li Ang and said that he would help Li Ang with publicity for a fee.
He didn't expect that the liar named Li Ang would dare to reject him, which made him very angry.
Liar?!
Yes, Gao Bo thought that Li Ang was a liar, an ignorant and incompetent liar.
He didn't know about Li Ang through live television and newspaper reports. He learned about the existence of Li Ang from Real Madrid's under-17 team manager, Candelaria, through his own connections in Real Madrid. When he interviewed the Real Madrid youth coach, the gentleman told him about an 'incompetent' Chinese man who was a coach in Real Madrid and was later kicked out of the Chamadine training base by the observant youth director, Mr. Rodriguez.
This made Gao Bo feel very embarrassed. The behavior of his fellow liar made him feel ashamed in front of Mr. Candelaria.
Later, Gao Bo found out from the newspaper that the man was actually re-employed at Sporting de Gijón and became the manager of the first team.
At this time, Gao Bo didn't seek confirmation. His blind worship of the high and mighty Real Madrid manager made him prejudiced to think that his fellow countryman was an incompetent liar. Although he saw that although Li Ang was sarcastic in the newspaper, there were still some objective words of praise. However, Gao Bo didn't believe it at all. He didn't think that his country could produce such a talent who was capable of coaching a Segunda División team.
This was a liar. After being kicked out of Real Madrid, Sporting de Gijón was fooled and made a name for himself.
That was what Gao Bo firmly believed. He firmly believed that European football was developed, and the Real Madrid manager was even more superior. Of course, what they said couldn't be wrong. Since they couldn't be wrong, then what they said was true.
This was the Chinese reporter's logic!
*****
What was Gao Bo's first thought when he firmly believed that Li Ang was a liar?
He didn't want to be a "good samaritan" and expose Li Ang's "true colors." He didn't have the leisure to do that. He wanted to make a fortune. He called Li Ang and took the initiative to ask Li Ang for money, saying that he could help Li Ang publicize in the country and make Li Ang famous in the country.
His wishful thinking was to cooperate with Li Ang and make money together. With himself, the chief reporter of Daily Sports in Spain, the endorsement of Li Ang, the fame that he helped hype up, and the "brilliant resume" of coaching Real Madrid's youth team and a Segunda División team, he believed that he could get Li Ang to return to China and help Li Ang coach a Chinese Super League team. Of course, he wanted to take a share of the profits, and he wanted to take the biggest share.
Of course, when he called, he only mentioned that he would pay to help Li Ang make a name for himself in the country. As for the follow-up, he didn't mention it. However, he believed that a professional liar like Li Ang would definitely be able to think of the follow-up. The two of them could definitely work together.
This was the moral integrity and behavior of such a famous reporter in the country.
He thought very well. He was even imagining a large amount of money flying into his wallet.
However, he didn't expect Li Ang to directly reject his "friendly" proposal.
When he called again, Li Ang even threatened to call the police.
How ridiculous. A liar actually said that he would call the police.
Gao Bo was furious. Since this person didn't know what was good for him, he wouldn't be polite.
His idea was very simple. He would first write a report and send it back to China. He was the messenger of justice who discovered a liar who tarnished the image of China's football! He wanted to publicize Li Ang's "fraud" to the public and ruin this person's reputation in the country! He had cut off Li Ang's goal and escape route. Until now, Gao Bo still insisted that the purpose of Li Ang's "deceit" was to gild himself abroad and then return to China to deceive the domestic clubs. The foreign monks were always good at reading scriptures. The domestic club bosses would definitely be interested in a coach who had returned from abroad, who had once coached the Real Madrid youth team and a Spanish Segunda División club.
Moreover, Gao Bo believed that Li Ang was unwilling to cooperate with him because he was afraid of splitting the profits and wanted to "keep the profits to himself."
Gao Bo felt that he knew Li Ang's purpose. In his heart, he criticized Li Ang's behavior of wanting to keep the profits to himself!
This guy who doesn't know what's good for him, just wait and see. I'm going to ruin your reputation and let your image as a liar be exposed to the public in China.
Almost at the same time that Hua Hua interviewed Li Ang, Gao Bo sent a two-thousand-word report back to the headquarters of Daily Sports.
The report's title was very shocking: "The Liar Chased Out by Real Madrid: A Spanish Liar Who Tarnished the Image of China's Football."
PS: Sixth Update. This chapter is a guaranteed update, not an extra one.
It's past three in the morning. This chapter is a little late. Sorry. It's only because my ears were ringing at one o 'clock that I couldn't write in peace. It was only after it got better that I was able to write.
