"Boss, right now the internet is mostly filled with attacks and doubts about Adriano's transfer. Should we announce Kaka's transfer tonight?"
In Li Shiguang's office, Allen sat on the sofa with a frown on his face, his expression full of worry.
"Where is it basically all of them?" Li Shiguang, who was surfing the internet, popped his head out from the side of the computer. "Look at the Jingbao newspaper, isn't it quite friendly? They haven't attacked us!"
"But..."
“There’s no ‘buts,’ let’s proceed as planned.” Li Shiguang pulled his head back to the computer screen. “Leeds United isn’t a publicly listed company, a little bit of negative news won’t affect us. The key is that all of this news is fake. I know Didico’s situation better than anyone. Once the league starts, he can shut these media outlets up!”
“Okay…” Allen nodded helplessly. “Then I’ll go and inform the media to attend tomorrow’s press conference.”
"Okay, wait for me." Li Shiguang turned off his computer, stood up, walked over and patted Allen on the shoulder. "You can leave the media notification to your subordinates. Go home and get some rest. You have to pick someone up from the airport tonight."
The two walked out of the office together.
Thinking about picking someone up from the airport that evening, Allen found it amusing and muttered to himself, "Boss, aren't Brazilians supposed to be incredibly passionate? This Adriano is quite strange. You prepared such a big press conference for his and Kaká's signing, and he still doesn't want to attend. Hahahaha."
The press conference as described by Allen.
This was prepared by Li Shiguang to promote Leeds United for the new season!
The original plan was to announce the signings of Adriano and Kaká simultaneously.
But a small accident happened halfway through.
Because Adriano actually rejected Li Shiguang's proposal.
After signing his contract with Milan last month, Adriano officially joined Leeds United.
This allowed Li Shiguang to finally see Adriano's name in the team system panel, so he did not hesitate to use the recovery card on Adriano.
After using it, Adriano, who was in Milan at the time, didn't feel much of a difference. But after returning to Brazil, Adriano suddenly felt that his depression was completely cured without seeing a doctor.
The key verification method is also quite strange.
Since Adriano's father passed away, he has struggled with inner conflict every time he returns to Rio de Janeiro for vacation.
He really wanted to visit the old house where he and his father used to live, to feel the happy life they shared back then. Although they didn't have much money, it was at least warm and cozy!
But ever since his father's death, every time Adriano returned home, it was a disaster! He had never been able to walk out of the old house normally.
But this year is different.
On the plane back, Adriano felt a significant change in his mindset; he was no longer as depressed as before.
After the plane landed, in order to verify his transformation, he didn't even go back to the mansion he had bought in his hometown after making enough money. Instead, he went straight to the small house where he and his father used to live.
To Adriano's surprise, this time when he returned home, he no longer felt the same way he used to, bursting into tears as soon as he stepped through the door. What struck him more was the beautiful memories of the past!
This discovery took the bewildered Adriano by surprise.
After spending the night at home, Adriano woke up feeling perfectly normal, prompting him to immediately call Li Shiguang and ask if his new boss had cast some kind of mysterious Eastern spell on him.
Li Shiguang knew that the healing card had worked, but he just smiled and didn't say anything, giving Adriano a rather mysterious feeling.
After chatting for a while, Li Shiguang took the opportunity to remind him to remember to return to England for the press conference.
Adriano rejected the offer.
He explained that he wanted to spend more time in his old house in Rio de Janeiro, experiencing the taste of his father's cooking.
This seemingly absurd yet reasonable reason left Li Shiguang with little room for rebuttal, so he ultimately let it go, which led to the official online announcement this afternoon.
····
the next day.
9:30 a.m.
The venue at Elland Road Stadium, which regularly hosts press conferences, was once again bustling with people after a month's absence.
Yesterday, Leeds United notified the media that their press conference would be held at 10:00 AM.
But now.
The venue was packed, with reporters from various media outlets setting up their cameras and microphones, chatting as they waited for Li Shiguang and his mysterious new recruit to arrive.
"Holy crap, Leeds United actually made such a big fuss today! Doesn't Leeds know that today's newspapers are all criticizing his signing yesterday? Going against the grain?"
"I'm dying of laughter! I've already seen speculations online today. After all, it's 50 million euros! A fan left a comment on Leeds United's official Twitter asking if Leeds used that money to bring Zidane back. Hahahaha, when I saw that comment, I laughed so hard I cried!"
"I was stunned when I received the newspaper's notification last night. Adriano's 35 million was just announced on the official website and that was it. What level of player must they be to announce it at a press conference? Could it be that Li Shiguang can get Kaká from Galliani?"
"Nonsense! I'll put it this way: if Leeds United can buy Kaká, I'll eat my laptop! They're not stupid; why would they leave a Champions League-winning team to join a quarter-finalist like yours?"
····
In the lounge not far from the venue.
Li Shiguang and Kaka were sitting face to face on the sofa, waiting for Allen to come and tell them to enter.
"Boss, I really didn't expect that the other big signing you mentioned was Didico. If you had told me it was him that day..." Kaka had a wry smile on his face, not finishing the rest of his sentence.
"Haha, I know what you're worried about, Kaka." Li Shiguang put down the cup in his hand and looked directly into Kaka's eyes. "Don't worry, Didico's condition has been cured."
"Huh? How is that possible?" Kaka's eyes widened, an incredulous expression on his face.
Li Shiguang nodded and said confidently, "Really, you'll feel the change in him after he rejoins the team in a few days! This kid, we were originally scheduled to have him attend the press conference with you today, but he used a reason I couldn't refuse..."
Before he could finish speaking, the door to the lounge was pushed open, and Allen walked in. He glanced at the two people in the room and nodded: "Boss, it's almost time."
"Great!" Li Shiguang stood up from the sofa, looking at Kaka with a beaming smile. "Let's go, let's show those reporters what the most significant transfer of this summer's transfer window in all of Europe is, bar none!"
