Wu Lei looks similar to those on TV and photos. He looks even more immature and shy in reality. His small eyes, mental short hair, and some loyal appearance make it difficult for him to feel disgusted with him.

However, Wu Lei was obviously a little restrained in front of the big boss Zhou Leiyun.

You should know that Zhou Leiyun is not only the chairman of the Espanyol Club. This club is just his investment in a playful manner. His asset size is ranked among domestic private enterprises.

Zhou Leiyun usually has a lot of things to do, but he doesn't come to Espanyol Club many times. He will appear on the rostrum for some key games, or he will attend any major events in the club.

Wu Lei's entire transfer process, including this time after arriving in Spain, was more involved in contact with the translators arranged for him by the Espanyol Club. Even Zhou Leiyun's agent Jiang Xiaochen did not meet many times.

How could Wu Lei not be nervous when he sat in front of the big boss Zhou Leiyun?

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "Wu Lei, don't be restrained. We are all compatriots abroad. By the way, I haven't introduced you to this person by your side yet! He is..."

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Xia is a famous Internet celebrity. As long as he surfs the Internet in China, few people probably don't know him." Wu Lei said with a smile.

Xia Ruofei said unexpectedly: "Do you often surf the Internet?"

Wu Lei smiled shyly and said, "In addition to competitions and training, my spare time is also very simple. I just spend time with my family. If I have time, I will go online to watch videos, play games, browse Weibo, etc. I am still your Weibo fan!"

"Is that true?" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Then I will pay attention to you too!"

After saying that, Xia Rufei really took out his cell phone. He thought about it and said, "Come on! Let's take a selfie first! Mr. Zhou, sit here! Come on!"

Zhou Leiyun is older than Zhao Yongjun. He is not very enthusiastic about some of the things that young people play. However, Xia Rufei took the initiative to invite him, so he still wanted to support him.

So, Zhou Leiyun also stood up with a smile and walked to the opposite seat. Wu Lei quickly squeezed inside. The three of them sat side by side in the booth on this side. Xia Rufei raised his phone and took a few selfies.

Then, Xia Rufei opened the Weibo client, first found Wu Lei's Weibo and clicked to follow, and then posted a Weibo: Meet Mr. Zhou @wulei7 in Barcelona, ​​looking forward to Wu Lei's performance in the top league!

The pictures on Weibo were picked out from the few selfies just now.

Xia Rufei and Zhou Leiyun were approachable, and Wu Lei's nervousness also decreased a lot. He smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, you are still on the hot search list! This time I can take advantage of your popularity!"

Xia Rufei smiled and said, "You still need to take advantage of my popularity! The most popular person in the domestic football world these days is you! Everyone is very concerned about your every move! If you want to take advantage of the popularity, at most we will take advantage of each other! Haha!"

Zhou Leiyun had returned to the seat opposite and sat down. He smiled and said, "Wu Lei, although you are familiar with President Xia, I can guarantee that he still has a certain identity and you definitely don't know!"

"Oh?" Wu Lei said for a moment, "Mr. Zhou, then tell me, what is Mr. Xia's identity?"

Zhou Leiyun laughed and said, "The shareholder of the Royal Espanyol Club! And it is the second largest shareholder in the shares! Don't you know this?"

"Ah?" Wu Lei was really surprised this time, "Why haven't I heard of it!"

He also did a lot of homework before coming to Spain and had some knowledge of the equity structure of Espanyol Club, especially the boss Zhou, who is the absolute controlling shareholder of the club and the chairman of the club. He is clear about these things, but he really doesn't know that Xia Rufei is actually a shareholder of the club.

Zhou Leiyun said with a smile: "Stop talking about you, the outside world who knows about this matter can count the ten fingers! Because the equity transfer has just been completed, and it has not even had time to make changes in Spain!"

"Wu Lei, it was Mr. Zhou who transferred part of the shares to me." Xia Ruofei explained with a smile.

"Oh! So that's it..." Wu Lei obviously hadn't come back to his senses from this shocking news.

"But don't worry! I'm not optimistic about Espanyol Club. On the contrary, I'm very optimistic about the prospects of our club, so I'm sharing part of the equity to Mr. Xia. We are friends!" Zhou Leiyun said, "So we will continue to support the development of the club in the next step, and when necessary we will increase our investment and enhance the strength of the club!"

Zhou Leiyun's investment in Espanyol Club is indeed a playful nature, but it is also because he is optimistic about China's huge football market. Especially after introducing Wu Lei, Wu Lei has not officially debuted these days, and Espanyol Club's influence in China has risen sharply. The stock price of Shengshi Group has risen a lot due to the stimulation of this good news.

With such a large size in Shengshi Group, the stock price rises slightly, which brings huge wealth.

Besides, Zhou Leiyun has joined forces with Xia Rufei to invest in Espanyol Football Club. With this alone, it is even more impossible for him to give up. Even if he loses money for a long time, he will continue to invest.

Zhou Leiyun's words gave Wu Lei a reassurance, and he nodded and said, "I understand!"

Xia Rufei also smiled and said, "Mr. Zhou and I signed a joint actor agreement. I will not interfere in the club management, so for you, everything is the same as before and there will be no changes. For you, just need to train the game with peace of mind. Domestic fans are looking forward to seeing you in the La Liga court as soon as possible!"

"I understand, thank you Mr. Xia!" Wu Lei said, "I will definitely work hard!"

"Come on! For our fate, drink one!" Zhou Leiyun raised his glass and said with a smile.

"cheers!"

The three of them clinked their cups. As an active football player, Wu Lei is usually very self-disciplined, so he only drinks juice, while Xia Rufei and Zhou Leiyun drink red wine.

"Eat something!" Zhou Leiyun said, "Mr. Xia, try the delicious food here!"

Zhou Leiyun ordered a lot of Catalan delicacies, such as salted cod, cold cured meat, grilled snails, etc. However, Wu Lei could not eat those high-calorie foods, so he ordered a steak and a chicken breast separately.

The dishes in Barcelona are somewhat different from traditional Western cuisine, or they are a bit between Chinese and Western cuisine. There is even a dish called "Canelong", which looks a bit like Beijing roast duck, with Italian mac and duck filling, plus some sauce.

Xia Rufei tasted good when he tasted it. For him, a southerner who didn’t have a strong taste, it tasted just right.

Eating local specialty food and admiring the old buildings outside the window has a strong exotic style.

The three of them ate and chatted quietly, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Xia Rufei and Zhou Leiyun clinked and took a sip of wine, put down the glass and turned to Wu Lei, and asked, "Wu Lei, how many days have you been to Spain? Do you feel comfortable with it?"

Wu Lei pursed his lips and said with a shy smile: "I feel pretty good. It's sunny and pleasant scenery here. The club's hardware facilities are great, and it is more professional than domestic clubs in all aspects. I just can't communicate in depth with my teammates for the time being. In addition,... my wife and children are not around, so I'm more or less uncomfortable."

Xia Ruofei has read some news about Wu Lei and knows that he is a man from the Gu family. He is different from many domestic stars. Wu Lei rarely has any off-court news, and he has never had negative news.

After the Chinese Super League market became popular, players' income also increased significantly, so it became popular for players to buy luxury cars. Wu Lei's car was very ordinary. The only time he was photographed by the media was that he was accompanying his wife to take the subway, which was nicknamed by netizens as "a luxury car worth more than 20 million yuan."

In fact, Wu Lei's income ranks among the top Chinese Super League players. After all, he is a local player who breaks the monopoly of foreign players to win the best scorer. He can be said to be the number one local striker, but he never squanders. Instead, he supports the training of young players, so he is willing to spend tens of thousands of yuan to buy nutritional supplements for young players.

In addition, Wu Lei is almost the only Chinese Super League player who does not have any tattoos.

It is precisely because of these positive images that Xia Rufei has always had a good impression of Wu Lei.

After hearing Wu Lei's words, he said with a smile: "Everything is hard at the beginning! Since we have taken the first step, the next step is how to gain a foothold. I think hard work in training is one aspect, and it is also very important to master Spanish as soon as possible, otherwise it will be difficult for you to truly integrate into this team. Although Mr. Zhou and I are absolutely major shareholders, we cannot interfere with the head coach's arrangement. Everything depends on you to strive for it yourself."

"I understand!" Wu Lei said quickly, "Mr. Xia, the club has arranged for me a Spanish teacher. I am making up for this lesson now!"

Xia Rufei nodded and said, "It's great if you realize this! I believe you will be able to integrate into the team soon!"

Wu Lei is 27 years old this year. Xia Ruofei is one or two years younger than Wu Lei. However, no matter whether he is the speaker or the listener, he does not feel old-fashioned. It feels very natural.

Wu Lei said: "Thank you, Mr. Xia for your encouragement!"

Xia Rufei then asked, "By the way, how about your shoulder injury?"

"The team doctor has undergone preliminary examination and must undergo surgical treatment." Wu Lei said with some frustration, "Although this surgery does not require immediate treatment, and even this injury will not have much impact on me participating in the competition, but if I hurt the same place again in the competition, it may cause serious consequences. But I don't want to miss this period of competition. After all, more than half of this season has passed. Once I have surgery, I will miss all the competitions this season..."

Zhou Leiyun also said: "Mr. Xia, Wu Lei has to make his own decision on this matter, and the club can only make suggestions. His injury does not affect the training and competition now, but there are some risks."

"It seems that you have to weigh the pros and cons!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

"Yes!" Zhou Leiyun nodded, then looked at Wu Lei and said, "You have to make this decision yourself. I have already told you that no matter what decision you make, the club will support you unconditionally! If you want to treat conservatively first, ensure training and competitions. If you want to have surgery immediately, we will also contact you to contact the best sports surgeon expert to perform your surgery."

"I will think seriously, Mr. Zhou!" Wu Lei nodded and said.

Xia Rufei asked: "If the surgery is...how long will it take to recover?"

Wu Lei said: "From the operation to the recovery, I can participate in the team training normally, the doctor will probably take two to three months... By then, all the La Liga games of this season have been completed, and I can only wait for next season!"

Xia Ruofei nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Mr. Zhou, if Wu Lei's surgery is right away, how long will it take for the doctor to arrange it?"

Zhou Leiyun looked at Xia Rufei unexpectedly, and then said: "Dr. Havimere is a world-renowned expert in upper limb surgery. He has undergone surgery on some world-class stars. We are going to ask him to take the surgery for Wu Lei. For the specific time... I will only know after the club contacts him, but it will not be too long."

Such authoritative sports surgeons have very high surgery fees, which ordinary patients cannot afford. They mainly perform surgery on some professional athletes, so the schedule is generally not as nervous as ordinary surgeons.

Xia Ruofei nodded, he turned his eyes to Wu Lei and asked seriously: "Wu Lei, if there is a way to get you recovered within one week after the surgery, would you be willing to have the surgery immediately?"
Chapter completed!
