"Is that a district?" Wang Shuo asked again.
He had heard Subotic mention the place before.
"Thatâs right. And if weâre getting more specific, Iâd recommend living in Luckenwalde Castle," Reus suggested.
"Why?"
"Itâs mostly new, high-end residences over there. The rent is a bit more expensive, but the security and environment are excellent. Itâs a wealthy area, and itâs very close to Westfalen Stadiumâonly about four kilometers away. You could even get there by bike."
After a pause, Reus suddenly asked, "Are you planning to go look at houses?"
"Yeah, I need to find a place."
"I know some people. Need any help?"
"Iâve already made plans with Neven Subotic."
Only then did Reus and Grosskreutz remember that Wang Shuo and Subotic had been teammates at Mainz.
"How about you guys come along and help me scout some places?"
"Sure, when?"
"How about tomorrow?"
"Of course," Reus readily agreed.
Grosskreutz was fine with it too.
Everyone knew that Wang Shuo, having joined for 20 million euros, would be a player the team was heavily invested in developing, not to mention a guaranteed starter.
Building a good relationship with someone like him would undoubtedly help them establish themselves at Dortmund.
"Alright, letâs meet back here tomorrow morning."
"No problem. Iâll contact my friend in a bit. Just tell me your requirements, and Iâll have him look for some options for you."
After making plans, the three of them started chatting.
During the subsequent interviews with the media, the three were already familiar enough to be praising each other.
This was especially true for Wang Shuo.
He was the absolute star of the show, but he didnât need to play it up. In fact, praising Reus and Grosskreutz more was only beneficial to him.
This made the two young newcomers have an even better impression of him.
In this regard, Wang Shuo was already a seasoned pro.
On the other hand, the reporters at the scene, as well as Dortmundâs senior management, were all quite baffled.
âIs this really the first time the three of them have met?â
"Sometimes, even I have to admire Wang Shuoâs charm when it comes to the locker room!"
Klopp explained to Watzke and Zorc.
Everyone burst into laughter.
A new playerâs adaptation often begins with integrating into the locker room.
With a personality like Wang Shuoâs, it was easy for him to get along with his teammates.
...
The next morning, Subotic drove to the hotel to pick up Wang Shuo, then went to Westfalen Stadium to pick up Reus and Grosskreutz. Foyelner came along as well.
That guy had also just arrived at Dortmund and hadnât been officially presented yet, but he needed to find a house too.
But he wasnât going to room with Wang Shuo, because he also had a girlfriend.
And to Wang Shuoâs despair, Reus and Grosskreutz also had girlfriends.
"You guys are putting so much pressure on me!"
Wang Shuo discovered that in Germany, it was very easy for professional players to find girlfriends.
But he seemed to be the exception.
"Donât you know Lina Gerk? Give her a call, ask her to go house hunting with you," Subotic offered a terrible idea.
"Lina Gerk?"
Reus and Grosskreutz were both astonished.
"So the rumors were true? Youâre dating her?"
Seeing how surprised the two youngsters were, Foyelner cleared his throat meaningfully.
"I must remind you, Marco, theyâre not dating. Itâs Lina Gerk who is pursuing him one-sidedly. But his damn Virgo personality is stopping him from saying yes."
Reus and Grosskreutz were even more stunned.
âBut thatâs Lina Gerk!â
"If it were me, Iâd just start dating her. If it doesnât work out later, you can just break up, right?"
"Exactly! What century are we in? Thereâs nothing to agonize over."
"If she were pursuing me, Iâd have said yes on the spot."
"Lina Gerk, the goddess of my dreams, WAHHHH..."
Wang Shuo shot the four of them a contemptuous look.
âWhatâs wrong with being single?â
âIâm single and Iâm proud!â
âWomen will only slow down my Shooting speed!â
With Reusâs help, it only took Wang Shuo half a day to pick out a newly renovated, two-story detached villa.
It was right in Luckenwalde Castle.
The rent wasnât too expensive. The key was that the surrounding environment was excellent, surrounded by parks.
Most importantly, Wang Shuo wasnât picky. As long as it was clean, he was happy.
Foyelner, on the other hand, wanted to bring his girlfriend over to have a look first.
After choosing the house, Wang Shuo invited everyone out to eat.
Reus even recommended a famous local restaurant.
However, Wang Shuo really hadnât expected getting a driverâs license in Germany to be so difficult.
Before you could even take the driving test, you had to systematically study nursing and first aid.
When Reus heard that Wang Shuo was going to apply for a driverâs license, he, also not having one, decided to sign up with him.
And so, the two of them registered for the training and classes at the same time.
Before they could fight side-by-side on the pitch or the training ground as teammates, they first became classmates at driving school.
Can you believe it?
