"We know that the previous FA leadership caused you a lot of personal harm…especially Nan Yong and them…” Deng Wenjun began.

Anyway, this guy is still in jail, so it's definitely right to put all the blame on him for offending people.

And the reason why Chen Hero and the Chinese Football Association have such a stiff relationship is indeed because of Nan Yong. Otherwise, Chen Hero could have represented the national Olympic team in the Beijing Olympic Games, and the national Olympic team’s performance would certainly not have been so bad… If he had performed well at the Olympic Games, perhaps many people’s fates would have changed…

It's just a pity that this has become a possibility in a parallel world.

“I also know that because of our own reasons, the misunderstanding between us has become deeper and deeper… So we hereby express our most sincere apologies to you…”

Having said that, the two people simply stood up and bowed to Chen Hero!

Chen Hero’s mouth was so wide open that he couldn’t close it—he was already very surprised that the two highest leaders of the Chinese Football Association had come to him, but he didn’t expect there to be something even more surprising!

Let the two highest leaders of the Chinese Football Association bow to him?!

This…in the history of Chinese football, no player has ever enjoyed such treatment, right?

There were too many shocks brought to him today… He even wondered if he was still asleep.

After bowing, the two people sat down, as if they didn't see the surprise on Chen Hero's face at all, and continued as if nothing had happened.

“We hope that through our most sincere apology, we can make you change your mind…”

Having recovered, Chen Hero interrupted them: “Impossible.”

It was the turn of the two FA leaders to be stunned.

Chen Hero blocked their words directly in their throats, unable to make a sound, their faces full of astonishment.

They didn’t expect that they would be so humble, but Chen Hero would still not appreciate it!

Chen Hero waved his hand: “I remember that what I said at the beginning was to let the Football Association and the State Sports General Administration publicly apologize, and then I would join the Chinese team. You just came to me and bowed, who can see that? When you got me off the national Olympic team, it was known to the world, and you had to make me stink and die. Fortunately, I had evidence, otherwise I would have been notorious in China. When you were trying to fix me, you made a big show of it, so how can you be so low-key when you apologize now? So unless you apologize publicly, I will never accept any form of apology from you!”

Chen Hero’s words were decisive, with no room for negotiation.

“There is absolutely nothing to talk about. Apart from your public apology, I will not talk to you about anything. Now the initiative is in your hands. If you think my attitude is arrogant and disrespectful, you can get up and leave, and I will definitely not be angry because of it.”

As if to anger the two of them, Chen Hero also made a “please” gesture towards the entrance of the cafe.

When have the two leaders ever suffered such anger… If this were in the past, they would have gotten up and left long ago! Because this has nothing to do with their identity, they feel that Chen Hero’s approach completely fails to give both sides an equal opportunity to communicate. In their opinion, no normal person can stand this anger.

However, in reality, there are many normal people in society who can stand this anger, because if they can’t stand it, they will lose their jobs.

Deng Wenjun really wanted to get up and leave, of course, before leaving, he would definitely reprimand Chen Hero.

But he didn't do that.

Because today, he must bow his head.

It’s not that Chen Hero can make him bow his head, nor is it for the country or the people, for the future of Chinese football, or for the Chinese fans that he wants to bow his head.

The reason why he must bow his head is very simple.

※※※

Chen Hero would never have imagined that the answer to the many questions that had been confusing him since he received Dekura's call was so simple.

But it is also so incredible.

His name actually reached the heavens.

Many people believe that administrative orders may be the only way to save Chinese football today.

But for the next three years, there was no movement in football. Chinese fans watched Chinese football get worse and worse, and many people despaired.

Who would have thought that at this time, the higher authorities would take action.

However, no one knows this.

At the end of last year, a major personnel change took place at the senior leadership level of the Chinese Football Association, and Deng Wenjun and Zhao Wei took over.

The Chinese Football Association is indeed undergoing some changes imperceptibly.

Everyone can see these changes, and they will associate them with the higher authorities when joking, but when they get serious, no one will think in that direction.

Not to mention that they don’t believe it.

Even Deng Wenjun and Zhao Wei absolutely did not believe it before receiving a call from the higher authorities.

They even didn’t believe it after hearing about this.

They thought the leaders above were deceiving them.

“What would I deceive you for? Do you think that with my status, it is appropriate to joke with you about this kind of thing?” The leader above asked sternly, and Deng Wenjun immediately became convinced.

This matter…is real!

He felt very angry that the most outstanding player in the history of the new China was unable to wear the national team jersey and win glory for the country.

After hearing about the reasons why Chen Hero had been unable to join the national team for ten years, he became even more angry. It is said that he scolded the leaders of the State Sports General Administration and demanded that this matter be properly resolved. Chen Hero must be made to wear the Chinese national team jersey.

This matter is not trivial.

Deng Wenjun and Zhao Wei discussed it for a long time, and always felt that if they just sent a subordinate, they were afraid of messing things up. If they sent other vice chairmen, they were afraid that if they persuaded Chen Hero, the credit would go to him, and it would have nothing to do with the two of them…

So in the end, they gritted their teeth, still disregarded their old faces, and personally ran to Liverpool to apologize to Chen Hero. They hoped to use their "humble" attitude to win back Chen Hero's heart.

It’s just that they didn’t expect that they had already done this, but Chen Hero was still relentless. Isn’t this too disrespectful to them?

But they still dare not leave. If this matter is not handled well, after returning, they may not even be able to continue as the full-time vice chairman of the Football Association…

They have seen too many of those swift and decisive methods. They don’t want those methods to fall on their own heads.

So they can only continue to sit in front of Chen Hero "humbly" and beg for Chen Hero's forgiveness.

※※※

Seeing the two people sitting in front of him without speaking, Chen Hero was too lazy to sit here and waste time staring at each other. His time is very precious.

He stood up and was about to leave.

Seeing that he was about to leave, the two people who had been silent panicked.

They also quickly stood up and stopped Chen Hero.

“This…Hero…please listen to our explanation…We have really deeply realized the mistakes we have made…” The way Zhao Wei said this sounded like he was making a self-criticism to his leader, but Chen Hero is not his leader.

At the same time, he was cursing Nan Yong's eighteen generations in his heart—Nan Yong, you motherfucker! The sins you committed back then require me to wipe your ass here today! You motherfucker, you should just die in jail, don't motherfucking come out! I curse your whole family to die! May the males be born without dicks! May the females be born to be prostitutes! Fuck your mother!!

Chen Hero was not interested in listening to these platitudes. He actually didn’t care whether the Football Association really realized its mistakes. He just wanted a public apology so that he could vent this bad breath in front of everyone!

Even if the Football Association and the State Sports General Administration cursed him countless times in their hearts, he was not afraid, as long as they admitted defeat to his face and apologized publicly, he would get his face back.

Just like how he dealt with those media, he didn't want those media to be sincerely convinced, as long as they suffered a loss, his goal would be achieved.

“Public apology, you and the State Sports General Administration together. I only have this one condition.” After saying that, Chen Hero ignored the anxious two people and walked towards the door with Dekura.

When he reached the door, he turned around and said to Deng Wenjun and Zhao Wei, “Actually, I’m very easy to talk to, right?”

He smiled at the two FA leaders, and he and Dekura left the cafe.

Leaving the two people behind, awkwardly looking at each other.

After a while, Deng Wenjun roared in a low voice: “This Chen Hero!!”

Zhao Wei patted him on the shoulder: “Forget it, forget it, Lao Deng. If you want credit, you have to pay the price, otherwise we wouldn’t have come here to suffer this anger…”

Deng Wenjun turned his head to look at him: “So you’re saying we can only agree to his request?”

Zhao Wei nodded: “What else can we do if we don’t agree? Sigh!”

“We can say anything on our side, Lao Zhao. What I’m worried about is… the General Administration, I’m afraid they won’t agree to his request…” Deng Wenjun said with a frown.

Yes, they two can make the decision on the Football Association's affairs. If it really doesn't work, they will just grit their teeth and accept it. A public apology is just a public apology. Anyway… as long as this matter can please the leader, their sacrifice will be worth it.

But they have no decision-making power over the General Administration's affairs. What if the General Administration disagrees? Wouldn’t this matter still be ruined? In the end, wouldn’t this bad debt still be counted on their heads?

Zhao Wei snorted: “We will report it truthfully. There is no reason for us to do all the angry things. We must also let the General Administration share the burden with its subordinates. Let them also have a headache!”
