126: He is not only the hope of the Dragon Kingdom, but the hope of the entire Blue Star!

Gong Dan frowned.

"Oh?"

"Totally negative points? All negative points? They all kicked it into their own goal?"

"Assistant Song, bring me my blood pressure medicine first. Tell me after I take it."

Assistant Song chuckled.

"Aiyo, Director, you misunderstood."

"Great news! We didn't lose, we won!"

However, after hearing this, Gong Dan's expression became even more terrified, feeling his high blood pressure was about to flare up.

"We won?! Did someone die??"

"No, Assistant Song, you still need to bring me the blood pressure medicine."

Assistant Song was helpless and had no choice but to follow the instructions.

Two minutes later, Gong Dan took two blood pressure pills to preemptively calm himself down before asking Assistant Song again.

"What happened?"

"How many were injured? Dead or crippled? Who did it?"

Assistant Song nearly choked on his own saliva; his leader's imagination was too rich.

But this was understandable.

Given the National Football Team's usual standard, hearing that they won against the European Team was indeed more shocking than a ghost story.

Moreover, they already knew that all the skilled football Celebrities from Europe were present this time.

No wonder the leader suspected a criminal incident.

"Director, please calm down first."

"We did indeed win this match, and we won it based on our own strength, fair and square."

"Except for one Goalkeeper who was accidentally injured, no one else sustained injuries."

Gong Dan was even more puzzled, but he gradually calmed down.

Whenever he heard news about the National Football Team, he tended to get overly emotional.

As a leader, it was truly inappropriate for him to make assumptions without knowing the full picture!

He took a sip of water and slowly asked.

"How did we win?"

Logically, if they won normally... it wouldn't be impossible for the European Teams to collectively suffer from acclimatization issues and lack of stamina, thus being defeated by the domestic players.

Fearing that his words lacked credibility, Assistant Song took out his phone, found the live broadcast clip of Lin Pei single-handedly taking on the entire European Team, and held it up to Gong Dan.

Gong Dan squinted and watched intently, completely confused by the one-against-many setup on the screen.

"This exaggerated? Are you sure this isn't a movie?"

"This Young Man's appearance and camera presence are excellent, like a movie Celebrity."

Assistant Song scratched his head.

"Ahem... Director, you actually guessed correctly. This Young Man is indeed an actor."

"But he really knows how to play football; he was the one who made the Japanese Team concede."

"Look, this is a live broadcast clip from our official media, not some film footage."

Gong Dan found it hard to believe.

"An actor? He's not a player for our National Football Team?"

He became even more uncertain for a moment.

Can the kid play, or can he fight? Does he know how to kick a ball, or how to kick people?

Does he have serious violent tendencies?

Assistant Song motioned for Gong Dan to continue watching the video.

At this point on the screen, facing the dense crowd of nervous European players waiting to receive the ball, Lin Pei's expression remained unchanged.

Then, with a seemingly light lift of his right foot, the ball flew past the European players and shot accurately into the goal.

The speed was astonishingly fast; the European players didn't have time to intercept it.

If the video hadn't been slowed down several times, it would have been impossible to see with the naked eye.

At this moment, Gong Dan's eyes widened, completely forgetting his internal self-admonishment, and he excitedly slammed the table and stood up.

"Good!"

"What a kick!"

"The future of our National Football Team finally has hope! He is not just the hope of our Dragon Country, he is the hope of the entire Blue Star!"

Assistant Song flinched in fear from Gong Dan's slap. Now, pulling his neck out, he looked troubled.

"I heard that Chen Qiang, the coach of our National Football Team, has already spoken with this Young Man named Lin Pei."

"But he politely declined the invitation to join our National Football Team, saying he only wants to be an actor."

"Director, what do you think..."

Gong Dan clearly could not accept this situation, and he immediately grabbed his jacket.

"Assistant Song, prepare the car."

"I need to go talk to him personally."

...The news of Lin Pei crushing the European football giants continued to ferment at home and abroad, causing a huge sensation.

However, after just one day, the trending topics changed again.

#Lin Pei vs. Messi, Messi didn't last a second#

#Lin Pei vs. Ronaldo, Ronaldo didn't last a second#

#Lin Pei vs. Multiple Football Giants, None Lasted a Second#

#Dragon Country Football Rises, World Number One in Strength#

...Less than an hour after this unofficial match, Lin Pei had already received several international calls.

Not only were there calls from football clubs like Bayern, Man Utd, and Real Madrid, but also from the governments of countries like Eagle Country, John Bull Country, Maple Leaf Country, and Polar Bear Country.

All of them were trying to poach him to play football with generous salaries; some even offered to handle the nationality transfer paperwork.

Lin Pei had a bit of a headache.

Damn it, how did his phone number leak out?

Initially, Lin Pei was able to respond calmly and politely refuse.

"Sorry, I am not a professional player."

"Even if I play football, as a Dragon Country Person, I will only serve Dragon Country."

"I am a professional actor. If there is a movie that needs my participation, I might consider it."

Later, after receiving too many calls, Lin Pei started ignoring international numbers.

He couldn't help but wish these were all movie invitations from Hollywood.

Wouldn't he eagerly pick up every single one of those?

He sincerely hoped that one day, international movie invitation calls would also flood in like this, making his hands sore from answering.

Just thinking about it was wonderful... Not long after, his phone rang again.

Lin Pei subconsciously frowned. The screen showed a number from Japan.

He was puzzled. Why were the Japanese people calling him?

Lin Pei answered, and the person on the other end spoke in broken Dragon Country language.

"Mr. Lin? Are you interested in joining our Japanese nationality and playing as a football player for our country?"

"Our nationality is precious. We can reserve a spot for Mr. Lin recently, but not for long."

Lin Pei let out a cold laugh, as if he had just heard an extremely brazen statement.

"I say, where is your shame?"

The person on the other end didn't seem to understand.

"Wao? Shame? What does that mean?"

Lin Pei angrily hung up the phone.

How shameless... Meanwhile, outside the Olympic Stadium, the entrance was completely blockaded by a swarm of reporters and paparazzi.

Everyone wanted to wait for Lin Pei to finish training and get a firsthand interview with this "new god of football."

However, instead of Lin Pei, they saw Gong Dan, the Director of the General Administration of Sport, enter the venue with a look of urgency.

Everyone was scratching their heads anxiously.

In their memory, the Director only appeared at major sporting event award ceremonies or significant sports-related activities.

It was extremely rare for him to personally visit the stadium today when there was no event scheduled.

Their intuition told them the Director was here to see Lin Pei, especially since a match that could be called the "Match of the Century" had just taken place here.

They were just curious about what the meeting between the Director and Lin Pei would be like.

However, unable to enter the venue, everyone collectively sighed.

They could only rely on the few media friends inside...
