In a hotel suite, Chen Yu listened as an employee from the China branch briefed him on Han Zhilu.
Just as with Song Jun, Chen Yu preferred to first conduct some preliminary research before deciding whether to make contact.
This in itself was a screening process.
Take Han Zhilu's case: he had given up soccer in '99, a full five years ago. A lot can change in that time, and nobody knew what his physical condition or life was like now.
Huang Changqing had said he was exceptionally smart and a great student. If he'd given up soccer to focus on his studies and become a scientist, Chen Yu couldn't exactly force the issue.
Besides, his family was wealthy. With a large company waiting for him to inherit, he didn't necessarily have to pursue a career in professional soccer.
So, if the preliminary investigation didn't look promising, it was best not to disturb him at all, saving everyone the trouble.
Information about Han Zhilu's father, Han Siwei, appeared on the projector screen.
