In the 2021 season, Seo Jung-won led a Korean coaching team into Chengdu Rongcheng. When he made his first public appearance, Seo Jung-won said firmly: "We don't want to stay in China's first division after one year, only overtaking can we stay in Chengdu for a long time!" Few coaches would express their goals and expectations so bluntly. Xu Zhengyuan's words left a deep impression on the outside world, leaving no room for change. As a result, Xu Zhengyuan did not go back on his word. He led Chengdu Rongcheng to a good start in the first round of the 2021 China First Division League with a 4-2 win over Jiangxi Beidamen. Throughout the season, the team's performance still got the First Division though.

In the 2021 season, there was another incident that is still fresh in the minds of many fans - when Xu Zhengyuan was leading the team to prepare for the third stage of the Central League, he received the bad news that his mother had passed away in South Korea, and at one point he was ready to put down his work and return to South Korea for the funeral. However, considering the impact of the epidemic at the time, Xu Zhengyuan finally decided to stick to his post and continue to lead the team to overtake.
