Starting Sign-In from a Billionaire God-Chapter 1057 - 1056
Wu Da was selected for the national team, and everyone was very happy, congratulating him one after another. Wu Da himself was quite calm because he had anticipated this. With his strength, there was no suspense about it. No matter how many spots the Yun City Team had, he would definitely be among them. If there were only one spot, it would have to be him.
Back then, Wu Da was high-spirited, so confident.
Of course, Wu Da also had aspirations. Now that he's entering the national team, he wanted to represent the country and play football, to bring glory to the nation, to lead Huaxia football out of Asia, and onto the world stage!
Leading the Huaxia Team to the World Cup was a small goal set by Wu Da.
No one doubted Wu Da's abilities. In fact, as soon as the news of Wu Da's selection for the national team was announced, people were already full of imagination for the future. At the time, many believed that Huaxia had finally produced a world-class football star. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
However, just as everyone was filled with anticipation, an unexpected event occurred.
Thirty years ago, on what seemed like an ordinary night, Jin Jiufu and Wu Da went to their regular food stall for a midnight snack. For them, it wasn't just an ordinary day because Wu Da had just been announced to join the national team, and they were celebrating it.
During the meal, Jin Jiufu kept drinking.
Anyone could see that he was burdened with heavy thoughts.
"Old Jin, what's wrong?" Wu Da asked.
Jin Jiufu showed a bitter smile and said, "Ah-Da, do you think fate is playing tricks on us? Did you hear what the coach said? Originally, our Yun City Team had two spots. That way, I could have also gone to the national team. But now one spot was reduced. Who could've thought of this? That damned fate, playing tricks on us!"
Wu Da patted his shoulder and consoled him, "It's okay, the national team isn't limited to this one selection. With your performance, you'll definitely be selected next time!"
Jin Jiufu said, "You don't understand. Sometimes opportunities come and go in a flash! You know how important this selection is. It's for the upcoming AFC Asian Cup. After joining the national team, there will be training sessions to prepare for the Asian Cup! If you perform well, you could shine, make your mark in one stroke! The Asian Cup only happens once every four years, missing this one means waiting four more years. I'm already 19 this year, in four years I'll be 23!"
Jin Jiufu felt deeply unbalanced. In his view, the upcoming Asian Cup was his best chance to become famous, yet he was going to miss it.
And Wu Da got this opportunity. With Wu Da's abilities, becoming famous was inevitable. Originally, they were both new stars in the Yun City Team, and the gap wasn't too large. Once Wu Da went to the national team, the gap between them would swiftly widen, and he would no longer be able to catch up with Wu Da!
Wu Da didn't know what to say and could only offer a lukewarm consolation: "What's wrong with being 23? 23 is still very young. Besides, there are many other opportunities for you to shine. You're really talented; becoming famous is certain, and joining the national team is only a matter of time. I believe we'll be teammates in the national team soon. I'm waiting for you!"
Jin Jiufu shook his head with a bitter smile. Then he lifted his head, looked at Wu Da, and laughed, "Forget it, let's not talk about me and spoil the fun. No matter what, you got into the national team, and as your brother, I'm happy for you. You're my pride. Let's not talk about unhappy things; tonight we won't stop drinking until we're drunk, celebrating your entry into the national team!"
Jin Jiufu opened a bottle of beer and handed it to Wu Da.
Wu Da took it, and the two of them drank heartily.
"Ah-Da, do you have any plans after joining the national team?" Jin Jiufu asked.
Wu Da responded, "No specific plans, just do my best to play well. I always feel thinking too much is pointless, as long as you do your job well, everything else will come naturally."
Wu Da really was mature for his age, with a relatively mature mindset. He loved football, and along with his extraordinary talent, as long as he played honestly, fame and money would come, as these were merely success's collateral.
"If we're talking about plans, my plan is to bring honor to Huaxia football. This will be the goal I strive for all my life," Wu Da said.
Jin Jiufu was taken aback for a moment, then laughed heartily, "Ah-Da, you're young with big ambitions. As your brother, I wish you success. Cheers!"
As they were talking, a group of people walked into the food stall. All young, male and female, from their attire, they appeared to be some street youths. This group, laughing and joking, sat down at a table nearby, catching the attention of those around them.
Though most of these people seemed unruly, among them was a girl who was actually quite charming and lovely.
Jin Jiufu couldn't help but glance a few more times and turned to Wu Da to say, "Ah-Da, let me tell you, I don't have as big ambitions as you. I play football for fame and fortune, I want to earn lots of money, find many pretty girls. Did you see the girl at the next table? Like her, that's the kind of girl I want."
Wu Da, seeing Jin Jiufu was drunk and fearing he might cause a scene, cautioned, "Alright, enough. Old Jin, I think you've had enough. It's getting late, why don't we head back?"
As he spoke, Wu Da stood up to assist Jin Jiufu, planning to take him away.
But Jin Jiufu brushed Wu Da off and declared, "I'm happy today, my dear brother got into the national team. I haven't drunk enough yet."
Jin Jiufu's voice grew louder, immediately attracting the attention of the people around them, including the nearby group of adults.
Wu Da could only say, "Alright then, let's keep drinking, but let's stick to talking about football and nothing else."
Jin Jiufu laughed, "Why not? Let me tell you, Ah-Da, when I'm rich, I'll switch girls like that every day!"
As Jin Jiufu spoke, he pointed at the charming girl.
This was heard by the nearby group, and they immediately took offense.
A blonde-haired man slammed the table and shouted, "What the hell did you just say?"
The girl had already changed her expression and angrily said, "This person is really annoying! Brother Ma, you have to stand up for me!"
Wu Da was startled, quickly apologized, "Sorry, my buddy's had too much to drink, he doesn't even know what he's saying. Old Jin, that's enough, you're really drunk, let's go."
With that, he decisively supported Jin Jiufu and forcibly took him away. As they left, he kept bowing and apologizing to the group, knowing it was best to avoid crossing these street youths.
Finally, they left the food stall and, seeing that nobody was following them, Wu Da sighed with relief, narrowly escaping a risky situation.
"Ah-Da, why did you drag me away? I wanted to keep drinking." Jin Jiufu slurred.
Wu Da said, "Keep drinking? You almost caused trouble, you know. We can't handle that group of street youths! We were lucky to leave quickly!"
Just then.
"You bastards, taking advantage, and now you want to leave fast?" came the sudden shout from the blonde-haired man.
Wu Da turned to see the group catching up with them!
Wu Da was shocked, instinctively grabbing Jin Jiufu, intending to run.
Then the blonde-haired man gave an order, and the group rushed forward, surrounding the two of them, and without a word began to rain punches and kicks on them.
