Chapter 118
In Pearson's office, Xia Xing met many people.
Pearson and Shakespeare, both coaches were there.
Head of recruitment Steve Walsh and director of football Jon Rath were also present.
There were two other people that Xia Xing had not expected.
The club's chairman, Vichai, and his son Xu Shengyuan (Ayawat)!
Such a big scene, what's going on?
Seeing Xia Xing coming in, everyone stood up and was very respectful and polite to Xia Xing.
Shakespeare, who had the best relationship with Xia Xing, walked up to him, put his arm around Xia Xing's shoulders, and smiled.
"Our hero is here."
"Hello, Chairman, Supervisor, Director, Coach, everyone."
Xia Xing greeted everyone one by one.
Xu Shengyuan stepped forward and gave Xia Xing a high five enthusiastically: "Xia, your performance this season is so outstanding. I am already your fan."
Others also greeted Xia Xing.
In particular, Chairman Vichai walked up and gently patted Xia Xing on the shoulder with a smile on his face.
"My fellow Chinese compatriot, I am extremely happy for your performance this season.
"You are simply amazing.
"Without you, I don't think Leicester would have won the Double.
"I just told thesevguys that I can't imagine Leicester City without you now."
"Xia, they should have talked to you before,
"I am here in person to express my personal and the club's highest respect and attitude——
"Xia, I strongly invite you to stay in Leicester City!
"We will do our best to meet all your requirements.
"As long as we can do it, we will do it regardless of tactical position or salary,
"we can even add special contract terms for you,
"not blocking your possibility of joining a top club in the future,
"as long as we can do it,
"we will meet your requirements.
"Because we need you,
"Because you will be the future of Leicester City."
The words "You will be the future of Leicester City" moved Xia Xing a little.
For this small team, I am really important.
Looking at everyone's eyes, Xia Xing could feel everyone's sincerity.
For a moment, Xia Xing even had the urge to stay.
But he held back.
He needs to go back to Manchester United and take a closer look at the future.
Relationships are one thing, career is another.
Xia Xing knows what's going on.
In response to the invitation from the Leicester City board of directors, Xia Xing still politely expressed his gratitude.
He still said the same thing.
"I'm going back to Manchester first, and then I'll think about the future."
Everyone understood and no one pressed Xia Xing anymore.
They didn't stop until theyvsent Xia Xing out of the club's gate and into the club's special car.
The cheerful recruitment director Walsh smiled and said, "This is the vehicle taking you back to Manchester specially arranged for you by the club. I wish you a safe journey."
They Waved goodbyes, reluctant to leave.
Through the rearview mirror, he can see that the club's management is still standing at the gate until the car has driven a long way away.
Looking in the direction he left.
The driver smiled and said, "Xia, everyone in Leicester City likes you very much. I really hope that one day I can bring you back."
Xia Xing closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
No matter how he grows or where he goes in the future,
Perhaps it would be difficult to obtain the club status and respect that he has today.
Spring Villa Area, No. 17.
The car drove directly into the yard and Xia Xing got out.
Alyona and Reed were both at home.
The gifts had already been packed, there were only two boxes, not much.
After all, he will always come back here, so he left a copy of many things like beddings behind.
When Xia Xing opened the trunk of the car, he was stunned.
He saw that the trunk was filled with many items.
Wasn't it empty before?
The driver smiled and said, "This is a farewell gift prepared for you by Mr. Chairman."
Xia Xing flipped through it lightly.
There are various club training suits, jerseys, as well as laptops and mobile phones with the Leicester City logo.
The price is not cheap, and it shows the club's dedication to him.
Xia Xing will always remember this feeling.
Alyona sent Xia Xing out the door and they hugged each other again.
"Xia, home is always here, waiting for you to come back."
"Um!"
Reef snorted: "Come back soon, I'm waiting for you to cook Chinese food for me."
"no problem!"
After waving goodbye, the car sped away.
Looking back, Alyona was pushing Reed in a wheelchair and looking around not far away.
There seemed to be a glimmer in Alyona's eyes.
Xia Xing turned around and looked forward.
If he takes one more look, he might not be able to control myself and stay...
At this time, his cell phone rang. It was a message from Pearson.
"Xia, I have never been good at expressing my inner feelings, you know this."
"Sometimes I speak more forcefully and let my imagination run wild.
"I can still recall when we first met, I said I didn't like you or something like that."
"Hehe, I hope you don't mind.
"But speaking of it, your progress is really rapid.
"From a young man with no professional football experience, to become one of the brightest new stars in the Championship.
"Your potential and talent have impressed me.
"When I saw you getting on the bus just now, I really wanted to pull you down and
force you to stay in Leicester City, haha.
"But this is all a joke.
"Xia, this season has been amazing,
"Leicester City won the double, which is something I never dreamed of.
"And you are the greatest contributor,
"In my mind, it's not even one of,
"You are the best player of the season in my heart!
"I am still thinking, if you can stay,
"We will play in the Premier League together next season.
"It will be awesome!
"I even have tons of new ideas for tactics.
"Can't wait to implement it in the squad.
"But unfortunately, you left in the end.
"I am very conflicted now.
On the one hand, I wish you success in Manchester United and that you can get what you want.
On the other hand, I am hoping that Manchester United will not have a place for you.
In the end, you can come back.
"Haha, this idea is a bit unkind.
"But I really like you, boy.
"We all like you very much.
"I even heard Mahrez complain privately,
saying that if he had known you would leave, he would not have moved to Leicester City.
"Haha, you are really popular.
"Okay, that's all I have to say.
"Typing is tiring.
"I wish you a safe journey and hope you can get what you want in Manchester.
"If you feel unhappy, the door of Leicester City is always open to you.
"Goodbye, xia."
The car was driving on the road to Manchester, and Xia Xing was reading the long message sent by Pearson.
He couldn't calm down for a long time.
He typed a few words after the message.
"Coach, thank you for your guidance and care for me. I will always remember it."
