Signing a New Contract Again (Seeking Collections, Seeking Recommendations)

This match left Messi feeling exhilarated.

Messi had long forgotten the last time he experienced such a thrilling and free-flowing game.

One match, two hat-tricks—this set a new record in the history of La Liga.

However, Messi's brilliance in this match was once again overshadowed by the 19-year-old Li Mingyu.

After the final whistle, Li Mingyu's name appeared once again on the front pages of all the major news outlets.

Six matches, fourteen goals, and three assists.

Li Mingyu's talent had completely blossomed.

Especially after learning the details of Li Mingyu's contract with FC Barcelona, almost every top club in Europe began to move like sharks smelling blood in the water.

Li Mingyu's agent had now become the busiest man alive.

Laporta, the president of FC Barcelona, had given Braida a strict order: he must keep Li Mingyu at all costs.

Li Mingyu no longer needed to be scouted; such goal-scoring efficiency was, frankly, a cut above the rest in the top five leagues.

Even Lewandowski, that goal-scoring machine for Bayern Munich, did not possess Li Mingyu's level of efficiency.

Of course, Lewandowski had played far more matches than Li Mingyu.

While six matches might not be the most convincing sample size, this level of efficiency was enough to make those top clubs drool with envy.

After a series of intense negotiations and confirming Li Mingyu's stance, his agent, Andrew, signed a new contract with FC Barcelona.

Contract Duration: 5 years
Annual Salary: 10 million Euros
Buyout Clause: 180 million Euros
Goal Bonus: 100,000 Euros/goal
Assist Bonus: 20,000 Euros/assist
La Liga Title: 5 million Euros
Copa del Rey Title: 2 million Euros
Spanish Super Cup Title: 2 million Euros
UEFA Cup Title: 3 million Euros
UEFA Champions League Title: 10 million Euros

Following a series of minor clauses, the sincerity of this contract finally convinced Andrew to agree.

With this contract, Andrew would earn millions of Euros in commissions annually; if one added the commissions from Li Mingyu's endorsements, Andrew's yearly income would reach three to four million Euros.

Naturally, to ensure Li Mingyu signed, FC Barcelona also provided Andrew with a significant under-the-table bonus.

Andrew arrived at Li Family Restaurant once again.

In the presence of Li Mingyu's parents, he handed the heavy contract over to Li Mingyu.

Seeing the pride in his parents' eyes, Li Mingyu solemnly signed his name on the document.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would be playing for FC Barcelona for the next five years.

Andrew smiled and said, "Li, according to the bonus structure in this contract, your previous goals and assists are already included in this payout. They will be deposited into your salary account in a lump sum when you receive your monthly pay!"

Humming a Spanish folk tune, Andrew left Li Family Restaurant, swaying his head to the rhythm.

Sonia snatched the contract from Li Zhenfei's hands, read it carefully, and couldn't help but gasp, saying, "My god, son, one hundred thousand Euros per goal? How many goals do you have now?"

Li Zhenfei, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Six matches, fourteen goals, three assists. That adds up to 1.46 million Euros."

Sonia couldn't help but cover her mouth, exclaiming, "Heaven, son, you are just too amazing!"

With that, Sonia hugged Li Mingyu and gave him a fierce kiss on the face.

Li Mingyu laughed and said, "Mom, why don't you close the restaurant? You two should take a good rest and go on a trip around the world, how about that?"

Excitement flickered in Sonia's eyes as she clapped her hands and said, "Good, it's decided!"

However, Sonia shook her head again and added, "But the restaurant can't close forever. We'll take two months to travel and see the world. We haven't left Spain since we got married. I've always heard your father talk about how beautiful China is, but I've never been there. This time, I'm going to see it properly!"

Li Zhenfei nodded and said, "The restaurant can't close for good; it's my passion. If I close it, what would I do? Do you expect me to enter retirement now? I couldn't stand that. It's settled: the restaurant will close for two months for a thorough renovation!"

And so, it was happily decided.

Returning to the training base, Li Mingyu began his training.

Although his attributes had improved significantly, his stamina remained a weak point. He still couldn't last a full match; was he destined to be a substitute forever?

Li Mingyu gritted his teeth and began to train like a madman.

The weekend arrived in the blink of an eye.

Li Mingyu's parents had already left Spain and should have reached French territory by now.

Their itinerary was to tour Europe first, then head to the United States, and finally arrive in beautiful China.

So much for the globetrotting couple.

In this match, FC Barcelona will hold court at Camp Nou, welcoming the visiting Getafe.

Getafe can be considered the youngest team in La Liga; founded only in 1983, they are currently the third top-flight team from the Madrid Region, following Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

Currently sitting just five points above the relegation zone, they are fighting hard to stay up.

However, facing the unstoppable momentum of FC Barcelona, Getafe is utterly powerless to halt their opponent's offensive.

In this match, Li Mingyu was only substituted onto the pitch in the 70th minute, replacing Messi, who had already recorded one goal and one assist.

Because Messi felt a slight discomfort during the match, he requested a substitution as a safety precaution.

However, after coming off, the team doctor examined him and found it was merely muscle tension from over-fatigue, with nothing serious to report.

The current score is 2:0, with FC Barcelona in the lead.

[Congratulations to the host, check-in at Camp Nou successful. As the host has already completed three home check-ins, the limit for this season has been reached. Subsequent home check-ins will no longer grant star player talent skills; instead, each home check-in will grant a piece of special equipment from a star player.]

[Congratulations to the host, you have obtained Ronaldinho's Lucky Bracelet!]

Li Mingyu felt a blue bracelet suddenly appear on his wrist.

[Ronaldinho's Lucky Bracelet: Possesses a luck attribute; on the pitch, it will exert a minor influence on the player's luck value.]

Li Mingyu did not feel that this lucky bracelet had any effect, so he shrugged his shoulders and sprinted quickly onto the pitch.
