Zhao Zhao didn't care what the media thought of him.
However, he was very happy about this promotion.
But his happiness wasn't just about dropping the 'interim' from 'interim Coach'; it was more because…
He got a raise!
30,000 euros!
Every week!
For fans who frequently follow international football, they might suddenly feel that 30,000 a week is a bit low, as there are many players who earn 100,000 or 200,000 a week.
But if you look at it from the perspective of an ordinary person…
How much is 30,000 a week in monthly salary?
120,000 euros, hundreds of thousands of RMB!
In Zhao Zhao's previous life, could he have imagined earning this much money?!
Hundreds of thousands of RMB a month? He couldn't even earn a few thousand.
And even in this life, it was still a huge leap.
After all, he was just an intern Coach with a weekly salary of 500 euros before!
It was like a serf turning into a landlord.
For his first promotion and raise in this life, Zhao Zhao naturally wanted to celebrate.
Coincidentally, the whole team had the day off today, so he also had time to go out and have some fun!
So Zhao Zhao found Captain O'Shea.
Since O'Shea left Manchester United in 2011 and joined Sunderland, he had been here for several years, so he was naturally very familiar with the 'local customs' here.
And O'Shea also happened to want to relax.
Since the boss had a need, the captain naturally stepped up!
Unlike most of the Coaches he had experienced before, who were old men, Zhao Zhao was even ten years younger than him, with no generation gap, and their relationship was more like friends.
Because of this, O'Shea also understood the needs of a single man like Zhao Zhao, so he was very proactive!
"Boss, I know a place where the girls are really good, British, Eastern European, South American, and even from your Asia… they have them all!" O'Shea immediately introduced.
"Hmm?" Zhao Zhao was slightly stunned.
Listening to O'Shea's description, it felt like there was a slight discrepancy between his needs and O'Shea's understanding.
Zhao Zhao's 'having fun' indeed referred to picking up girls, but it was still a bit different from O'Shea's 'relaxing'.
Zhao Zhao liked to go to a place to find a 'target', then communicate a little emotionally, then hit it off, and finally 'grow' together.
The kind O'Shea introduced, while it could indeed lead to more direct 'growth' and directly confront the most decadent side of capitalism and criticize it fiercely, was a bit too 'low' for Zhao Zhao now.
And as Zhao Zhao paused, O'Shea misunderstood again.
He thought the young boss was shy.
"Haha, I've heard that Chinese people are more reserved and can't let loose in this regard," O'Shea laughed. "Don't worry, boss, trust me, you'll get used to this kind of thing."
"Oh, that's not what I meant," Zhao Zhao looked up at O'Shea's rough face. "I just think there's no need to spend money on this kind of thing."
"Ah? Boss thinks he needs to save money?" O'Shea was surprised. "I also heard that Chinese people are more frugal, but this…"
But he quickly 'realized' and slapped his head: "I forgot, boss just got promoted, so his finances are still tight. It's okay, tonight's expenses are all on me!"
But Zhao Zhao still smiled without speaking.
O'Shea stared at Coach Zhao's handsome face for a few seconds, finally realizing!
With Coach Zhao's face…
If he walked down the street, many beautiful women would probably be willing to throw themselves at him, wouldn't they?
O'Shea used to be teammates with Beckham, and the scene of piles of female fans scrambling to watch Beckham train was still vivid in his memory.
If Beckham had to pay for women, it would be a joke.
And now, the Zhao Zhao in front of him, his looks were arguably no less than Beckham's!
Why would he lower himself to go to the kind of place O'Shea mentioned?
Thinking about it this way, it's no wonder the boss felt there was no need to spend money.
O'Shea touched his face, suddenly feeling the wind was a bit chilly today.
"Damn it!" He cursed inwardly.
He certainly wasn't cursing Zhao Zhao, but he also didn't know why he suddenly wanted to curse…
-----------------
However, as a 'veteran' of Sunderland, O'Shea naturally wouldn't disappoint Zhao Zhao in the end.
Soon, O'Shea took Zhao Zhao to a nightclub called 'Tropical Cuba'!
Just by the name, you knew this place was exciting.
And that was indeed the case.
A place like Sunderland is not like a big city such as London, where there aren't as many entertainment venues, but 'Tropical Cuba' definitely had some class.
In fact, it was also a well-known nightclub in Tyne and Wear, and people from nearby cities would come to visit it.
When O'Shea led Zhao Zhao through the doors of the Tropical Cuba nightclub, it was as if they had entered a huge underground palace.
The interior of this 'palace' was spacious and open, divided into multiple areas, each with its own independent DJ booth and sound system, with shocking subwoofers vibrating in the darkness!
Coupled with psychedelic lighting effects weaving through the smoke, changing unpredictably with the music's rhythm, it created a surreal atmosphere, which made it easy for everyone present to go wild and dance.
O'Shea was clearly a regular here.
He quickly jumped onto the dance floor, dancing to the electronic beats, even doing his Irish-flavored tap dance…
But Zhao Zhao couldn't dance.
Of course, his purpose for being here wasn't to dance.
He just ordered a drink and sat at the bar, drinking and watching.
He certainly wasn't watching O'Shea dance, but rather the beautiful women dancing on the dance floor…
However, he hadn't enjoyed it for long when a commotion broke out on the dance floor.
Zhao Zhao looked closely, why was O'Shea arguing with someone?
"Damn, are Irish people really that prone to fighting?"
Zhao Zhao walked forward, only to see two familiar faces.
One was Chambers, and the other was Valdés! They were the ones arguing with O'Shea.
As Middlesbrough players, it wasn't surprising for them to come to the most famous nightclub nearby to relax after a game.
It just so happened that Sunderland had just crushed Middlesbrough 9-0, and Chambers had a terrible performance, while Valdés picked the ball out of the net nine times. It was truly a case of enemies meeting on a narrow road.
You could guess what would happen when these two encountered O'Shea.
"What do you want?" Zhao Zhao was not timid at all; he puffed out his chest and walked forward, pointing at Chambers and Valdés as he asked.
Valdés was stunned when he saw Zhao Zhao.
It wasn't uncommon for players to go out and mess around after a game in professional football, but why did the opposing Coach also come?
Surely the entire Sunderland team didn't come, did they???
A day off meant the Coach leading the team to a nightclub? That was too damn exciting!
However, this nightclub was in Sunderland, after all, and Coach Zhao's unconventional style had been quite famous recently, so it was indeed possible for something like this to happen.
This made Valdés a little wary, and his eyes couldn't help but dart around.
Zhao Zhao immediately guessed the other party's thoughts, and his confidence grew, his voice becoming louder: "What, you lost on the field, and you want to lose again off the field? Well, I won't let my brothers go easy on you either."
Valdés swallowed and quickly pulled Chambers towards the nightclub exit.
A wise man knows when to retreat!
Of course, he still had to leave with some parting words: "Alright, you're bullying us because you have more people, you've got guts! You wait, don't let us run into you somewhere else…"
However, at that moment, a redhead walked in through the door, instantly attracting everyone's attention, even stopping Valdés and Chambers in their tracks.
Because this girl was not only beautiful but also very famous!
She was Karen Gillan, who played 'Nebula' in "Guardians of the Galaxy"!
