Godfather Of Champions

In a blink of an eye, Chen Jian has been in Nottingham, a foreign country, for two years. If you count the year of the draft, it is three years. At first he lived in the home of Mr. John, known as Nottingham Forest's most die-hard fan. Later, in order to cultivate his independent living ability, he chose to move out and live alone.

Although he signed an apprenticeship contract with Nottingham Forest, he still attended the University of Nottingham. He is low-key at school and never reveals his identity other than a student. In the UK for more than three years, there is basically no problem in language communication. Every time he trains, he is the hottest and hardest person. The coach of the team always uses him as an example to call on the team to train hard. So that other teammates are always curious: "Are you Chinese always so desperate when doing things?"

He is the only Chinese or even Asian in the team. It stands to reason that he should be lonely. But Chen Jian put all his thoughts into the training. In fact, he didn't care about these trivial things.

He knew he was short on time, and if he didn't hurry up to train, nothing would be accomplished in his life. He believes in the truths in the stories he heard when he was a child-even a genius can only achieve something by working hard with coffee time. There will never be a genius in this world who can succeed without hard work only by talent, let alone his mediocrity.

A genius does not work hard and there is a talent, and a mediocre person does not work hard.

In view of his poor foundation, in the first year, he was transferred to the U15 team for basic training. Among a group of fourteen-year-olds, the nineteen-year-old is particularly eye-catching...or dazzling. But he didn't seem to feel embarrassed about this, he was very involved in basic training, no matter how others looked at him. Because of his age difference, it is difficult to find someone in the team who can practice with a partner, so most of the time he has only one boring single practice. And he can't participate in various competitions in the U15 age group.

China often under-reports the age of players in order to bully the younger, this is not common in English football. He actually wants to play. Every time there is a U15 game, he will watch it by the side. It is fascinating to watch. He sees how other people play. Even if he is five to four years younger than himself, except that his body may be better than them, he really can't find any advantage.

Even in the U15 internal game, he can't participate in it. He is too old, which is a big advantage. It is unfair to other small players.

This situation lasted for nearly a year. In the second year, he was directly transferred to the U18. Although he was almost 20... But he was still trained in the U18 youth team, and he was still not eligible for matches like the FA Youth Cup. To participate, you can only play internal matches or some less formal warm-up matches. But finally there is a game to play.

In fact, Chen Jian is a very smart person, which can be seen from the fact that he will soon be able to communicate fluently with the British players. When he is unable to play, he always goes to the scene to watch the game, whether it is a youth team, reserve team or first team game, he does not fall. The advantage of watching the game on the spot is that you will not be limited and misled by the TV broadcast footage, and you can establish a big picture. In the youth team, apart from occasional guest appearances at right back, he has always played in the midfield position, which is the position that needs the most overall view.

When watching the ball in the stands, he would use his mind to think about why they have to deal with the ball that way instead of that way, what are the advantages and disadvantages of each treatment method. He pays attention to the performance of the famous players on the field and the way they play. He believes that watching football is also a kind of training. The so-called layman is watching the excitement and the expert watching the doorway. People who are willing to use their brains can definitely learn a lot from watching games. He also has a small notebook that he carries with him, recording what he thinks of every time he sees it, so that he can read it at any time.

Midfielders must be the smartest people on the field, because they must always analyze and judge the situation on the field to make the most correct choice. From this point of view, the training Chen Jian gave himself is just right.

Chen Jian didn't just think about it in the stands. He will bring what he thinks to the training and try to complete his thoughts in the training. The coaching staff of the youth team appreciates his way of playing. Because in terms of body, Chen Jian basically has no advantage after he reaches the U18. There are a lot of people in professional players who are physically strong. It is a pity that a yellow race wants to be stronger than them. In terms of explosive power, he is not the weakest in the team, but he is not the best, and his qualifications are mediocre. If you want to talk about how you can bridge the gap between yourself and others, you have to use your brain. Only this point is not congenital and nurtured.

If the body is not good, the explosive power is not enough, and the speed is not fast enough, then use wisdom to make up for it.

One year later, he has achieved remarkable results in this regard.

Although he can't represent the U18 in the official FA Youth Cup and Youth League, he performed very well in internal matches. As a defensive midfielder, he doesn't often use his body to fight against opponents when he is defending. He always judges the opponent's route in advance, and then judges the position of the opponent to kill the opponent's offense in the cradle. The same is true in the offense. He seldom drove the ball by himself and ran for several tens of meters before passing the football. After receiving the ball, he will first observe the situation on the field, and then directly pass the football to where it should go. The advantage of this is that the offense is simpler and more effective, not procrastinating, and able to seize fleeting opportunities.

Although he trained hard and performed well in the youth team, he is still an apprentice now-the club did not give him a new professional contract. His salary is very low, just enough to live on his own in Nottingham, and he doesn't even have extra money to send home to honor his parents, or ask him to go out and spend a lot of time to find a woman to come back to meet his physical needs.

His life is simple and boring. Always teleport back and forth between the training ground and the apartment, and occasionally go to university. Having been in Nottingham for three years, he has been to the shopping district of the city center five times, and he doesn't even know where to open the doors of other entertainment venues. He still doesn't know how long this kind of life will take. He is not a practitioner of asceticism. He also desires to be able to live a higher quality life, but then he needs to get a higher salary, starting with a new contract.

He remembered everything Tony Dunn said to him on the phone.

"...You are just an apprentice. I will not provide you with any guarantee. I do not promise you that you can become a professional player and realize your original dream. You don't even think about the opportunity to play for the first team! The club can’t promise you anything, wages, benefits, contract guarantees... nothing. Except for this opportunity, we won’t give you anything. Maybe you can only prepare when you are twenty-six years old. If you are messing up in the team, or simply being eliminated, you can only go to those semi-professional teams to survive. If there are more miserable things, please imagine for yourself..."

Will this scene become a reality?

※※※

During the one-month vacation, Chen Jian did not return to China because he planned to use this time to continue practicing. For this reason, the mother who loves her son specially took a month off and flew to the UK alone to visit him. Dad cannot come because he still has to work. After all, Chen Jian's family is not rich, and he can't do things like quit his job and move his family to the UK to accompany his son. Chen Jian barely counts as a job now, but it would be nice to stop asking for money from his family for that little money. The income of both parents is not high. It takes a long time to plan if you come to the UK to cover your own pockets.

Chen Jian hopes to get a professional contract from the club as soon as possible, so that with more income, he can also reduce the burden on his family.

If you say that playing football is just to like football, that is almost a lie. He just wants to make hobbies a career-this is the happiest thing in the world.

When my mother came, she brought a few large bags of things, all Sichuan specialty products and seasonings. She worried that her son would not be able to eat the most authentic Sichuan cuisine, but also to save money. After all, the price of goods in the UK must be much higher than that in Mianyang, Sichuan. After the result came, Chen Jian said helplessly to his mother that she could not eat the Sichuan bacon and sausages she brought. Because professional athletes can't eat that kind of food...Although he wants to eat it, he must force himself not to eat it. If he can't even insist on eating, then don't be a professional player at all.

Although there is a disagreement with my mother about what to eat, and mothers cannot understand the deliciousness of dishes like boiled chicken in white water, in general, the mother and son have had a very happy month. At least Chen Jian will not be so lonely anymore. After training at night, he will take his mother out to go shopping, and occasionally bring her mother who has never watched football nor understood football to watch the game of the first team in the forest, let her feel That kind of madness...Of course, the mother stopped going after one or two visits, because she said her heart couldn't stand it and the environment was too noisy...

Seeing that the days of separation were getting closer, Chen Jian was thinking about buying some gifts for his mother and father. For this reason, he plans to accompany his mother to London on weekends.

Oxford Street is a very famous commercial street in London. It is home to almost all high-end brand franchise stores in the world and attracts a large number of tourists to shop every year. Although the products sold here are all brand-name luxury goods, to attract so many people to shop here, brand appeal is obviously not enough. Another reason why this place is so attractive is that things on Oxford Street are indeed cheaper than other places of the same brand.

Nevertheless, after taking a few glances at the price of the goods here, Mother Chen's face changed, and she was about to leave with her son, and she was in a posture that she would never come back again in this life.

It is a pity that Chen Jian is determined to show respect to his parents.

He really should be like this. When he decided to drop out of Tianjin Judicial Police School and go to England to pursue his professional football dream, his relatives and friends opposed it. They don’t think that Chen Jian’s talent can be used to make a name for himself, and there are even people who don’t know what English professional football is. They use the Chinese football environment to warn Chen Jian: "Jian baby, look at those who play professional football in China. The reputation is so old, why bother? I tell you, don’t care about the school, as long as you graduate, get the certificate, come back and I will trust someone to send you to the court to work. You don’t need to play professional football. ?"

At that time, the seven aunts and eight aunts came to persuade him. Chen Jian still remembers the grand occasion, so he remembers more clearly how his parents supported him.

The relatives are planning to find Chen Jian's parents, let them show the majesty of their elders, and prohibit Chen Jian from pursuing that kind of illusory things. After all, Chen Jian might not listen to what relatives say, no matter how good the relationship is. But when the parents speak, how can the son not listen?

Chen Jian's father and mother have a very unified statement: "Chen Jian is going to go. That is his business. It is not easy for us as parents to interfere. If he wants to go, let him go."

Because of his parents' attitude, those relatives said nothing was useless, and he finally flew from Sichuan to the UK and started his dream journey.

If it weren't for the enlightenment of his parents, then he doesn't know what he is doing now. Maybe his relatives entrusted the relationship to go through the back door and stuffed into the court, and then owed a great favor. Maybe after graduation, work as a security guard in Tianjin... who knows.

Just for this love, he should do something.

But in order to make his mother feel at ease, he must find an excuse. So when he paid the money, he told his mother that just before his mother came, he had just signed a new contract with the club. This time it was not an apprenticeship contract, but a very formal professional contract. He enjoys the salary of a professional player, which is very different from his previous income.

So this little money is absolutely nothing!

Of course the mother is happy for her son. Seeing his mother's smiling face, Chen Jian felt that it was worth even if he lied. As for the future of this lie, he didn't think so much for the time being.

In the end, he used his savings for the past two years to buy a suit and a casual wear for his father, and a handbag and a skirt for his mother.

Mom came out of the dressing room wearing a skirt happily, and she was a little shy when she stood in front of the mirror.

"My son is also a big star." She changed the subject, without letting her son realize that her expression was a little abnormal. "Your father must be very happy if he hears that."

"It's just a professional player, not a star, Mom..."

He had to pretend to be very relaxed in front of his mother, his face still showed a trace of worry when he swiped the card with his back. He doesn't care about money. He is just worried that if one day the lie is exposed, he can't imagine how disappointed his parents would be at that time...

※※※

My mother was on a plane on Tuesday afternoon. During training on Monday, Chen Jian approached Greenwood, the youth team coach, and asked him for a day off to see his mother.

Greenwood did not immediately agree to his request for leave. Instead, he smiled and said to him: "You just came here, Chen. Just now South Villeford called me and asked me to tell you to go there. , Find coach David Chris Lak."

Chen Jian was confused, "I'm sorry, Coach Greenwood, I didn't hear clearly. Could you please say it again?"

Greenwood coughed: "The assistant coach of the first team, David Chris Luck, has something to do with you."

"Look for me?" Chen Jian looked confused. There was almost no intersection between him and the first team. What did the first team coach ask him for?

Seeing Chen Jian's stupid appearance, Greenwood finally couldn't help it. He slapped Chen Jian on his back and said, "Notice you to sign a new contract! This time it is not an apprentice contract."

If it wasn't for Greenwood's slap that really hurts, Chen Jian must have thought he was dreaming.

"Are you saying you want to give me a...a professional contract?" He still asked incredulously.

"Yeah, Chen. Did I say that you Chinese are all such mother-in-laws? I've said it many times, don't you believe it? If you don't believe it, I'll call and tell them that they don't need to prepare the text of the new contract... …" After he finished speaking, Chen Jian bowed and ran out.

After everyone left, the voice came: "Thank you, Coach Greenwood!"

Greenwood laughed: "Thank me for what I did. Thank you, Chen."

※※※

The training of the first team is over. Tony Dunn and Chris Lak are in the office waiting for the person they are looking for.

A rush of footsteps, accompanied by heavy breathing, passed into the ears of the two people from the corridor outside the door. They both smiled at each other, and the people who were waiting came.

The door was hidden, and Chen Jian stopped at the door. He didn't rush to knock on the door, but tried to calm his breath and mood. He stood at the door with his fist clenched, closed his eyes with his head down, and tried to stop his body from swinging. Although I was very excited after hearing the news, it was really shameful to be like this.

After a while, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Chris Lak's voice sounded.

"Coach Dunn, Coach Chris Lak." Chen Jian who came in respectfully greeted the two coaches.

Chris Lak responded with a smile on his face, "Hello, Chen." And Dunn just nodded with a calm face.

"Looking at you like this, you already know why we are looking for you?"

Chen Jian nodded vigorously, for fear that the other party would change his mind just lightly.

"We have all seen your performance in the past two years. Your performance in the youth team competition is very good. Tony thinks you are talented. You have made a lot of progress in the three years since your draft. Hurry. So we decided to offer you a professional contract."

The one that came to Chen Jian's mind was his mother's smiling face. He can finally let go of his hanging heart-I didn't lie, I did get a professional contract!

"You don't have an agent yet, do you?"

Chen Jian nodded.

"Um...but it doesn't matter, it's just the most common professional contract, you can see for yourself." Chris Lak handed the contract text to Chen Jian.

In fact, Chen Jian just swept away, he didn't care what was written on it, he only paid attention to the number of years and the weekly salary. This is a four-year contract with a weekly salary of 1,500 pounds. The salary is not high, but if compared with his apprenticeship salary, it is still very satisfactory.

"I've finished reading it, no problem! Can I sign now?" Chen Jian couldn't wait to conjure a pen out of his hand.

Chris Luck wanted to speak, but told Dunn to take the lead.

"Don't worry, kid." The head coach who had not spoken stood up from his seat, "You think clearly, is this your ultimate goal?"

Chen Jian didn't understand what Dun En meant, and he looked at Dun En in confusion.

"Well, although you have been given a professional contract, you may not be able to formally play for the first team. Even if you don't have a labor license, you cannot appear in any game of the first team. Even the reserve team You can’t play in the game."

Chen Jian seemed to have been thrown into a basin of cold water, and his mind that was hot from excitement just now suddenly came to his senses. Dunn is right. Even if he signs this contract, he still cannot be considered as a member of Nottingham Forest because he cannot play for the Forest team.

If you can't play the game, what's the point of being a professional player? Go to the training ground to train all day, and then get paid?

I play football to make money, but money is not such a way to earn money.

Chen Jian shook his head: "If I can't play the game, why give me this contract? I don't understand, Mr. Tang En."

Dunn took a look at Chris Lak, and then said: "Why did you call you alone? Because of the special arrangements for you... You signed this contract. Of course, you are a member of Nottingham Forest. We have You must be responsible for your career. But because of well-known labor certification reasons, you can’t play for the team. We will not put a player with a professional player contract on the training ground for four years. That’s too wasteful.”

"I am optimistic about your development potential. I think what you need now is a sufficient level of competition and training, instead of training in the youth team. But you know, even if you are strong enough, you don’t have a labor license. Way to play." Chris Lak also said. "This is a headache, Chen."

Dunn continued: "Let’s put aside the question of your personal ability and potential, and just talk about the labor license. In fact, there are many ways to obtain a labor license, depending on whether you want it or not. First, , Marry a British wife."

Chen Jian was taken aback. He is only twenty years old. In the past few years, he has focused on football, and he has not even found a girlfriend, let alone getting married.

Seeing his reaction, Dunn laughed: "It looks like this is a dead end. The second way is to apply for British citizenship."

Chen Jian was not frightened this time, he immediately shook his head: "This is impossible Mr. Tang En, China does not allow dual nationality."

"Then change your nationality." Dunn said blankly.

Chen Jian's reaction was even more intense: "Absolutely not, absolutely not! I never thought about this kind of thing, I am Chinese, what would it be like to abandon Chinese nationality? My parents would not agree..."

"Well, then you are drafted by the Chinese team to play 75% of the international A-level events in two years, and the Chinese team's world ranking has to be before the 75th place... Well, I think As far as the strength of the Chinese team is concerned, this one is the most unlikely, and I also feel a pity that you go to play for the Chinese team..." Tang En frowned and said solemnly. "You should seriously consider the two methods I mentioned earlier, find a British woman to marry, or change your nationality directly."

Chen Jian continued to shook his head: "Mr. Tang En, I really appreciate that you value me so much. Don’t say my strength is enough to advance to the national team, even if the strength of the Chinese team is weak, if they want to recruit me, I will not No. It’s even more impossible to change nationality, Mr. Tang En. You may not understand how strong the sense of belonging of the Chinese people... I can’t explain to you why, anyway, I would never do it. Just for the sake of Playing football and giving up being a Chinese citizen...I can't do it."

Chen Jian suddenly felt that the text of the contract in his hand was so heavy, as if it were too heavy. He had planned for the worst in his heart-giving up the opportunity to sign a contract with Nottingham Forest, leaving Britain and returning to China. Or, find a country that does not require a labor license to play.

Dunn shrugged: "I really can't understand. Isn't your dream to be a real professional player? So now that the opportunity is in front of you, what else do you have to hesitate? I think it's normal to change your nationality. You Look at those professional stars, who often have multiple nationalities. Didn’t Brazilian star Elton give up his Brazilian citizenship to join Qatar in order to be able to participate in the World Cup?"

Chen Jian frowned and explained to the British coach: "That's different, Mr. Dunn. Chinese people are different from everyone else in the world. Why are there Chinatowns everywhere? If I was born in England, I might not have this idea, but I was born in China and grew up in China..." He said more and more anxiously, as if he didn’t know how to explain clearly to the head coach, he bit his lip and held back for a long time, "The dream is Dream, Mr. Tang En. My dream is to be able to make my hobby a job, but no matter whether it is a dream or a job, in my heart, it is impossible to live the word'motherland'. You guys. Isn’t “motherland” in English “Motherland”? Mother land, how can I deny my mother for the sake of money? China pays attention to filial piety first, no matter what you do, filial piety should be put first. If I just play football, I won’t I recognize my mother, am I still a human?"

The more Chen Jian explained, the more excited he became. In the end, he simply wanted to return the contract in his hand to Dun En.

"If I have to change my nationality to play for Nottingham Forest, I would rather give up this opportunity, Mr. Dunn."

Dunn didn't pick it up, neither did Chris Lak, and the two of them laughed instead. "What am I talking about, David? Don't underestimate the stubbornness and stubbornness of the Chinese. Ha!"

Then he looked at Chen Jian stunned and completely confused about the situation, "Don’t worry, no one here will force you to do things you don’t want to do. It’s your own business to choose which country’s nationality you do. It will not affect the legal validity of this contract. We still have to sign this contract for you."

"Then just..." Chen Jian was still a little confused.

"Just kidding."

Chen Jian's expression became serious: "But I don't think this joke is very funny, Mr. Coach."

Dunn was also a little embarrassed, he scratched his head, "Well, I apologize to you and solemnly apologize to you. Of course I understand the feelings behind every sentence you say, I'm not kidding. You know, I He is also a British guy who has some connections with China."

After being disturbed by this incident, Chen Jian's joy of signing a contract disappeared. Looking at the contract in his hand, he suddenly had more thoughts about his future, instead of the excitement that was all over his head.

Yes, even if I sign, I cannot guarantee that I will succeed. This is just the first step in the Long March. If I can't play for the Forest, where should I go after four years? Can I continue to play professional football? If so, where will I be?

Labor certificate, Chinese team, nationality...These questions linger in his mind and linger.

Dunn seemed to see through his mind, he put his hand on Chen Jian's shoulder: "Don't think about things so far. You just have to play well. If you really have the ability to play for the Forest team, we will do it for you. Appeal for a labor certification. So the labor certification is not a problem at all, the problem is your ability. Do you know?"

This sentence made Chen Jianmao help. That's right, even if you really can't get a labor license, as long as you have enough strength, where can you play? Anyway, my dream is not to play for Nottingham Forest...

Chen Jian finally signed his Chinese name on this professional contract.

Dunn took the contract, studied the name "Chen Jian", and then smiled: "The name is well written."

He handed the contract to Chris Lak and turned to Chen Jian: "I heard that your mother is here?"

This time Chen Jian remembered why he first went to Coach Greenwood: "Yes, but I will return home tomorrow. I originally went to ask Coach Greenwood to give her a leave..."

"Well, just ask me. I'm allowed. You can send your mother off tomorrow. After sending her away, pack up your things, and you will also be ready to leave the UK."

This news made Chen Jian unexpected. Will he drive people away as soon as he signs the contract?

"You are thinking about it again? Why do you like to think about it so much? Greenwood said that you are a smart player, so don't use your wisdom on it. It's a waste! Without a labor license, you can't even participate in a reserve team game. What are you doing here? Can you improve just by training? Of course you have to go to the game! So, you have been loaned to the Dutch second division team Volendam. Go there and get a good workout!"

Chen Jian did not expect to be able to play in the official league so soon, although he is only Dutch second, he is not picky. After holding back for three years, he feels that having a game for him to play is already very good, how can he still make demands?

"The language is barrier, you need to get used to it. But I still want you to perform well. From my point of view, I don't want the players out of Nottingham Forest to make people laugh. From your point of view, you are playing well for yourself."

Chen Jian nodded vigorously: "I promise to play well!"

Dunn smiled again the way he looked at him. He thought of the young pioneers who had sworn into the team...

"It's useless to promise it. If you don't call it out, this will be the last contract." Dunn pointed to the contract in Chris Lak's hands. Then he paused for a while, changed his tone and language.

"Chen Jian."

"Huh?" Unexpectedly, Tang En would suddenly speak Sichuan dialect, which was far beyond Chen Jian's expectation and shocked him.

"You're a player who made a halfway career. What do you lack, don't you know? It's time. No matter how hard you train, you can't make up for it. Three years..." Dunn raised three fingers, "It's really too short. . But no way. No matter where you play, you always remember one thing-you not only have no talent, but you also have no time. Compared with all other professional players in the world, you are the only one. A person who has no retreat. You are not qualified to make mistakes, and you are not qualified to complain. You are already lucky if you have the opportunity to stand here. So now, and even in the future, you have nothing to do with your head. There is no choice but to kill. Don't you know?"

Chen Jian nodded: "I know."

Dunn laughed and switched back to English: "Don't think about anything, don't worry about anything, go all the way forward. All the way forward..." At this point, his eyes suddenly became blurred, and his voice became weaker. Murmured.

From crossing to today, didn't he also walk all the way forward and all the way down? And in the future, he will go all the way forward. Fate chose him, he had no choice, nor did he escape.

"All the way forward!" Dun En's voice returned to normal, his eyes cleared again, he looked at Chen Jian. "The original dream will arrive one day. Boy, don't lose the face of the identity you just insisted on."

Chen Jian solemnly bowed to Tang En.

※※※

One day later, Chen Jian said goodbye to his mother at Heathrow Airport and told her that he was going to play football in the Netherlands. His mother also encouraged him to play well.

Two days later, Chen Jian packed up his bags and flew to the Netherlands alone. Without media attention, no fans are welcome. He restarted his journey to pursue his original dream in a completely unfamiliar place.

At the same time, Don started his dream journey at Med Lane Stadium on the north bank of the Trent River. As the new head coach of Notts County, he appeared in front of the news media for the first time, showing a slightly shy smile. .

Tony Dunn led the Nottingham Forest Fleet, deeply imprinted with him, towards a new tomorrow.

The brilliant sunrise slowly rose from below the sea level, illuminating the faces of all those on the road.

(Volume 6 Crimson) End

※※※

Author's words: I am surprised to see the end of volume six here. I must feel that it has nothing to do with the volume name.

In fact, I think that for Tony Dunn, writing so many Crimson stories is enough, and writing more is enough. Chinese painting pays attention to "blank", and the same is true for writing novels, leaving some space for readers to imagine. Some time ago, many people have already scolded me for making up the number of characters. I want to write down this kind of success story that everyone has read countless times before. If I write down, it is estimated that many people are aesthetically tired?

That must not be my wish, so I am here to make a hard brake.

In fact, the content of the next volume is different from this volume for several years...

I won’t write the story in the middle because it’s all those things, so I don’t have to repeat it a thousand times. Just a little bit will be mentioned later, so that the plot will not be completely discontinued.

Of course, I guess some friends will ask me: If that's the case, why not let Tony win the Champions League this season and really get a deeper red?

Is such that. Considering a certain degree of rationality and readers' freshness in honor, it is impossible to always let Uncle Tony take the championship alone, right? Suppress it when necessary, but also for a better outbreak later. Well, this is my old hand broken, old readers should know...so I won't explain too much.

I have also read many friends' explanations of the name of this volume. If you want to tell me... "deep red" means "deeper red", but this degree of deepening does not necessarily mean further progress. It may represent more things, a more tortuous, more turbulent life, or a simpler-a few years older...

After the fifth volume, I once said somewhere in the sixth volume that I would try to write more off-site things, which is also a manifestation of "deep".

Compared with the previous ones, the sixth volume is more narrative. Especially the first half. I'm fairly satisfied myself.

In the sixth volume, Tony experienced the most important events in his life-a heart attack that almost died, and finally getting married with Shania's lover.

There are also the story of Chen Jian, Tang's choice, Mitchel's story, Mok's story... these are all included in the meaning of "deep".

Hmm... In fact, all the above is nonsense! I made this name foolishly!

This is the end of the sixth volume, everyone look forward to the seventh volume.

In my plan, the book has the last two volumes left, and the story has officially entered the last third.

Don't worry about unfinished eunuchs and the like. I have already figured out the ending, just waiting for the day when it is written.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have seen you in the Heart of the Seven Lion Kings.

Lin Hai Ting Tao
