Go back in time and be a chaebol

Chapter 1695: Guardian of the National Gate (Second update, please subscribe)
The C707 passenger plane flying from South America slowly landed at Chang'an International Airport. When the plane passed through the clouds and gradually lowered its altitude, Bailey, like many passengers, looked down at this city representing the "Equatorial Miracle" from the window.

The sun shines on the densely packed high-rise buildings; the glass curtain walls reflect dazzling light; the wide streets are crowded with cars and pedestrians; the whole city seems to be shining in the sun.

This has almost become people's first impression of this city.

"This is Chang'an, the most dazzling pearl in the Pacific Ocean."

Bailey couldn't help but marvel at the prosperity of the city, and an indescribable excitement surged in his heart.

The most dazzling pearl, this is the impression many people have of this city, but in Pele's opinion, this may be the most prosperous city in the world.

Just as he was immersed in the magical feeling presented by this future city, a gentle voice came to his ears:

"Shocking, right? Chang'an always gives people this feeling."

Bailey turned his head and when the team manager Wu Minghe spoke to him, the translator sitting next to him translated the manager's words to him.

“Here, all the cities are so prosperous, and Kuching is no exception.”

As a native of Kuching, Wu Minghe would not look at Chang'an differently just because it is the capital.

Kuching is not only the capital of the kingdom, but also the largest film production center in the entire Eastern Hemisphere, where the best actors and film practitioners from SEAs and all over the world gather.

Does Changan have all this?
Bailey looked at Wu Minghe with gratitude and said:

"Manager Wu, thank you very much for signing me and giving me this opportunity."

Pele's gratitude was heartfelt, because Brazil is a very backward country, and playing football there is far less rewarding than playing football here, and playing football here also provides more opportunities to participate in international competitions.

Of course, what is more important is income. He believes that in the future he will be able to get the same salary as the local players in the box, or even higher than theirs.

By then, he will earn more money in one year than he can earn in his entire life.

When Wu Minghe looked at Bailey, there was an imperceptible complex emotion in his eyes.

In order to sign Pele, he personally went to Brazil and had many difficult negotiations with the club that Pele played for. Not only that, in order to allow Pele to successfully obtain a work visa, he took great pains and even broke the law and used some unconventional means.

Now, looking at this young and promising player in front of him, Wu Minghe felt relieved. He knew that all the efforts and risks were worth it.

Whenever he's on the field, he dazzles everyone.

In fact, there are many players like him in Brazil who are so cheap. If this introduction is successful, then the club will definitely introduce cheap labor from Brazil and other South American countries.

"It's because you are good enough that you have this opportunity."

Wu Minghe said, with a hint of relief and anticipation in his tone.

"I look forward to seeing you on the court next."

Bailey was moved and said sincerely:
"Manager Wu, being able to join your club is a very important opportunity for me. I will definitely not let you down."

Bailey still remembers how surprised he was when the team manager came to him and offered him a job.

No player in Brazil had ever worked for a foreign football club, and the salary offered was far beyond his imagination.

No player in Brazil can get such a high salary.

Faced with the unprecedented high salary, Bailey was tempted. He looked forward to being able to go to the court as soon as possible to prove his worth to the club's owners.

Wu Minghe nodded, with admiration in his eyes:

"We are very optimistic about your strength and potential. Signing you is not only for the club's performance, but also for the hope that you can realize your dream here."

Bailey took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes:
"I will definitely do my best and live up to your trust."

Wu Minghe smiled and looked at the city outside the window, his heart full of expectations for the future. He knew that Pele's arrival would bring great changes to the team.

Those powerful opponents in the past are no longer so scary in his eyes. He believes that with the addition of Pele, the team will be able to defeat those once insurmountable opponents and achieve unprecedented results.

“SEA is indeed a place full of opportunities.”

Wu Minghe said,
"There is not only a bustling city here, but also enthusiastic fans and unlimited possibilities. I believe you will adapt here quickly and shine on the court."

Bailey nodded and said.

"Manager Wu, please rest assured that I will not let you down."

At this moment he is also full of expectations for the future.

The plane slowly landed on the runway and taxied to the parking position. Bailey followed Wu Minghe down the plane and stepped onto this unfamiliar land. He walked across the long corridor bridge and came to the customs inspection area.

As the team slowly moved forward, Bailey felt both anticipation for the future and a little nervousness. He knew that from this moment on, his career would enter a new stage.

He knows that this strange land and that strange team will be the place where he can realize his dream. He looks forward to showing his strength here, winning more honors and recognition, and also striving for a higher salary for himself.

Although the road ahead is full of unknowns, he believes that as long as he works hard, not only will everything be possible, but soon people here will applaud his wonderful football skills just like the people in Brazil.

Finally it was his turn, Bailey stepped forward and handed his passport to the customs officer, his fingers trembling slightly, his heart full of nervousness and anticipation.

The customs officer took the passport, checked it carefully, looked up at him and frowned.

He looked down at the photo in his passport again, then looked up at Bailey carefully, as if he was looking at something, with a hint of confusion in his expression.

“Is this your passport?”

the customs officer asked, a hint of suspicion in his tone.

Bailey nodded, feeling a little uneasy: "Yes, this is my passport."

The customs officer turned to the visa page and found that Bailey held a work visa. He looked up at Bailey again, as if he couldn't believe that the man in front of him had obtained a work visa.

Every year, tens of thousands of people obtain work visas, but among them there is absolutely no such person as the one in front of us.

"What's your purpose here?"

The customs officer asked, his tone was serious, his frown full of suspicion.

Bailey took a deep breath and tried to stay calm:
"I'm here to work. I'm a football player and I just signed with a football club in Chang'an."

After thinking for a while, Bailey looked at the team manager who had already passed through the national channel and explained.

"I came with my manager and he was there and he signed me."

The customs officer frowned, as if thinking about something. After a moment, he said:

"We still have some questions that need further investigation, and we hope you can cooperate with us."

At this moment, two border police officers came over and stood beside Bailey. Bailey felt nervous and uneasy. He didn't know what would happen next, but he knew that he had to stay calm.

"Please follow us over here." said one of the border police, with unquestionable majesty in his tone.

Bailey nodded and followed them to the inspection room. He looked back at Wu Minghe and found that Wu Minghe's face was also a little nervous and worried. At the same time, a border policeman walked towards him.

"what 's wrong?"

Although Wu Minghe's heart was full of doubts, he still shouted loudly to Bailey.

"Bailey, remember, no matter what the police ask you, don't say anything until the lawyer arrives."

Don't say anything until a lawyer arrives. This is a basic principle that even elementary school students know.

Bailey and Wu Minghe were taken to the interrogation room by the customs police. The lights in the interrogation room were glaring and the air was filled with a sense of oppression.

Bailey sat on the chair, his hands slightly clenched, feeling nervous and confused. He didn't understand why he was brought to this place, but he believed that it was no big deal, and there was a club for everything.

When faced with inquiries, he also answered all his questions without hesitation.

At the same time, in the corridor outside the interrogation room, Senior Immigration Agent Lin Shen was standing in front of the one-way glass window, staring grimly at Bailey in the room.

He held Pele's passport in his hand, his brows furrowed, his expression full of confusion.

“Is this visa genuine?”

Lin Shen asked in a low voice, with a hint of doubt in his tone.

The subordinate standing next to him nodded and said affirmatively:
"Yes, Agent Lin. We have verified it and the visa is genuine."

Lin Shen frowned even more tightly. He lowered his head and looked through the passport in his hand again, his eyes resting on the page about work visa.

Although the authenticity of the visa was beyond doubt, his heart was full of doubts.

As an experienced immigration agent, he was well aware of the internal unspoken rules - although there were no explicit regulations, it was almost impossible for the Immigration Bureau to issue a work permit to any black person.

Just like black people will not be allowed to enter the country unless it is necessary to notify them, even if they are from visa-free countries, they will be refused entry for various reasons as long as their skin color is not right.

This is an unwritten internal agreement that has never been broken over the years.

However, the work visa in front of me breaks this point.

This made Lin Shen feel uneasy. He realized that there must be something wrong behind this. Who was behind this? Who had the power to break the unspoken rules and issue a work visa for a black player?
Lin Shen looked at Bailey in the interrogation room again, waited for a while, and then said

"Detain him first."

Lin Shen said coldly, with an extremely serious tone.
“This matter requires further investigation.”

The subordinate nodded and immediately conveyed the order to the police in the interrogation room through the communicator.

"And what about the team manager?"

"The key to the detention lies with the manager. We must find out how this work visa was issued."

Lin Shen watched Bailey and Wu Minghe being taken away from the interrogation room by the police, but he did not feel relieved at all. He knew that this matter was far from over. He had to find out the truth behind it and find the person who broke the rules.

Lin Shen turned and left the corridor, secretly making up his mind. No matter how high the level of this matter was, he would investigate it thoroughly. This was not only to uphold the rules of the Immigration Bureau, but also to fulfill their duties and to guard the gate of SEAs.

At the same time, Bailey was taken to a temporary detention room. He sat in a cold chair, his heart full of uneasiness and confusion. He didn't know what would happen next, but he knew that he had to stay calm and wait for the opportunity to explain clearly.

Wu Minghe, who was also detained in the temporary detention room, was filled with anxiety and helplessness.

He knew that something must have gone wrong with this matter, but he couldn't give up. He had to find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible to ensure that Bailey could join the team smoothly.

Although he was very nervous inside, Wu Minghe smiled when facing Bailey.

"Bailey, don't worry. A lawyer will be here in a while and he will help us with the bail procedures."

"really?"

Berry could see the manager a little nervously.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
