It was the kind of look that easily left a good impression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’So, true beauty really does transcend the boundaries of East and West,’ Watzke and the others privately marveled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once everyone was seated, Shen Qinghe ensured that the men across from her had no room for any stray thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After sitting down, Shen Qinghe opened her laptop, inserted a USB drive, called over a staff member to connect it to the conference room’s display screen, and then stood up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you all very much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice was like a clear spring in a mountain ravine—cool and calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She began directly and forcefully, with no pleasantries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am here today representing Mr. Wang Shuo. But before we officially begin, I apologize, but I’ll need to take up a little of your time—about ten minutes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ten minutes?\" Watzke was a bit surprised. He glanced at his colleagues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is this some kind of negotiation tactic?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is she trying to disrupt Dortmund’s rhythm?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t mean anything by it. I just want to show you all some materials,\" Shen Qinghe said with a light smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her smile was genuine, completely different from the feigned smiles of the corporate world or a deliberate negotiation tactic. It carried a unique warmth and charm, which, combined with her distinct aura, made it impossible for anyone to refuse her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, you may begin.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watzke agreed to Shen Qinghe’s request after his colleagues nodded in consent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This young woman clearly came prepared!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Watzke didn’t think too much of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Judging by her age, Shen Qinghe looked to be in her early twenties, perhaps even a recent college graduate with little experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Besides, isn’t Thomas Essien the agent here?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qinghe maintained her smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her father had taught her a lesson since she was young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For every exam, the moment you sit down at your desk, your score is already more than halfway determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like in a football match, the outcome is practically decided the moment the players step onto the pitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the same token, in a business negotiation, the dynamic is set the moment you sit down at the table. The negotiation itself is merely the final act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First, I’d like you all to look at an analysis report from the International Football Bank, or ISB.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, Shen Qinghe pulled up the report’s PowerPoint presentation on her laptop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was quickly projected onto the conference room’s large screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The International Football Bank is a German company that works closely with all professional teams in Germany.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their data analysis reports have always been accepted and recognized by all German clubs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the report Shen Qinghe was presenting consisted mainly of a series of statistics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So far this season, looking only at the first 24 rounds of the Bundesliga, Wang Shuo has made 23 appearances and scored 31 goals, tying Dortmund’s all-time single-season record.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course, two more rounds have been played since then, and Wang Shuo’s goal count has risen to 33, which means he has already broken Dortmund’s historical record.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she said this, Shen Qinghe gave Watzke and the others a small smile, her expression filled with pride.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For the sake of time, our analysis only covers the first 24 rounds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wang Shuo’s goal count is number one in the Bundesliga.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The player currently second on the Bundesliga’s top scorer list is Kiesling from Bayer Leverkusen, and he only has 13 goals.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s not even half of Wang Shuo’s total!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",927,"2026-05-30T11:12:32.830Z","2026-06-01T04:31:05.348Z",1,"novelbin.me","3ad73738cdc497b18057a91287e61da8ef7586a68f074b102ce91ecccc9d3982","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-382","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-380",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-cover.jpg"]
