Under the bright starlight, Charlotte's whole body seemed to be emitting silver light. The sea breeze blew over her cheeks, blowing her hair, which was neither long nor short, into the air. In the soft moonlight,
Charlotte's face, which originally seemed to have strong lines, looked so soft.
Dick shook his head. Although he had been to Monte Carlo several times, the most he could do was visit casinos, hot springs and other places. Although Monte Carlo is a small city, it is not just a quick tour.
Familiar with every corner.
If you want to be familiar with a city, you have to stay for a long time before you can truly understand it.
Seeing Dick shaking his head, Charlotte laughed: "This...is the Princess Grace Rose Garden."
"Ah...is she the deceased princess of the current Grand Duke?" Dick patted his forehead and said with sudden realization.
"Have you heard of her too?" Charlotte asked.
"I've heard of it, but I don't know much." Dick answered honestly. He really didn't know much. After all, when Grace was making a big splash in Hollywood, Dick didn't exist in the world.
Dick was only three years old when Grace died in a car accident, so how could he know more.
"I don't know much about her." Charlotte said quietly: "I just heard people say that she is a very kind and beautiful person... She is the founder of Monaco's new medical system.
, the Red Cross Society of Monaco was also revived under her leadership, and the medical system she left behind is still benefiting the entire Monaco today."
Dick didn't speak, but followed Charlotte quietly. He noticed that there was something different about Charlotte this night. Although he didn't want to be a close sister, at this time, he didn't mind listening to this.
How do lively girls feel?
"I have never met her, but in my mind, she is the most beautiful and kindest grandmother in the world."
Listening to Charlotte's words, Dick asked tentatively: "Where is your...grandmother?"
"I don't have a grandmother. My grandmother passed away before I was born." Charlotte said quietly.
Dick was dumbfounded. He suddenly felt some sympathy for this usually lively girl - she lost her grandmother before she was born, and lost her biological father before she grew up... Such a little girl should usually have pain in her heart.
?Her brother seemed a little depressed, let alone her?
"Don't pity me, I know how I should live." Charlotte suddenly raised her voice: "When I usually feel irritable, I will come here and smell the fragrance of roses. This can calm me down."
"Are you feeling irritable today?" Dick asked quietly.
Charlotte was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know."
Dick shut his mouth. He had a lot of experience in dealing with women, but he really had no experience in dealing with young girls...
"To be honest, I've been very happy these past ten days because you are a good poker opponent. You won't be anxious when you lose, and you won't be so happy when you win... Are you here purely to relax? Say
To be honest, I have seen too many gamblers who are so drunk that they don’t care about anything when they get a hand of cards, but you are different."
"I came here to relax. Although the expense during this period is a bit high, it is nothing to me. It is very worthwhile to use this kind of expense to let me relax. Because my nerves have always been
It's very tight and I need to take a rest. Playing cards with you these days is also a good way to rest." Dick said with a smile.
"I'm so happy to meet a friend like you." Charlotte jumped to Dick's side, and then extended her hand to him: "Let's meet him formally, I am Charlotte Casiraghi."
"I'm Dick, a football coach." Dick held Charlotte's delicate little hand: "What, don't you want to tell me about your profession?"
Charlotte rolled her eyes, and then laughed mischievously: "Didn't I tell you? A worker in a fashion magazine, a gangster in a casino...this is who I am."
Dick laughed dumbly. He was not going to force Charlotte to tell her what she did for a living. Although his physical age was only twenty-four, his mental age was already forty. Of course he knew how people interacted with each other.
Sometimes we can't be too familiar with each other, just like a group of porcupines keeping warm together. If they are too far apart, they will get cold, and if they are too close, they will hurt each other. Keeping a good distance is the right choice.
"I think I will come to Monte Carlo to relax more in the future, and you are welcome to visit the city where I coach."
Dick dug around in his pocket, and then wrote a number to Charlotte: "This is my personal phone, which is switched on 24 hours a day... If you call this number, you will definitely be able to find me, but don't tell the reporters."
, otherwise I will definitely change the phone."
"Don't worry, I hate those paparazzi too." Charlotte said in an insider's tone, and then put the note away.
Dick turned his head and looked at the roses in the entire garden. The garden was not large. After all, Monte Carlo was a place where every inch of land was precious. In the breeze, the roses were swaying slightly, and he seemed to feel a few...
Ten years ago, that unparalleled and elegant woman was walking slowly in this garden, with that graceful look that turned her head and smiled...
****************************************
Until the next day, after Dick boarded the plane bound for Dortmund, he seemed to be able to smell the fragrance lingering on the tip of his nose.
"This holiday is still very interesting." Dick thought in his heart. He had been completely relaxed in the past ten days. Next, he would start to tense up again and start to be busy for the entire season.
"Robert, I'm back. You can take a vacation now... By the way, let me make statistics on the news during this period. I don't think the news you report every day is particularly important, so I don't read it much.
"
As soon as Dick got off the plane, he immediately took a taxi to Marina's house. After walking through the door, he threw his luggage and said carelessly.
Marina, who was about to say something, was frightened: "What? You didn't read it? There is so much information, why didn't you make preparations?"
"Hahaha, I look so scared of you."
Dick burst out laughing: "Isn't it just that boy Cavinaji who wants to get a high salary, and Rivaldo wants to go back to Brazil to retire, what a big deal, it scares you..."
"Isn't this a big deal? A top scorer and a top star want to leave. Isn't this a big deal?" Marriner first breathed a sigh of relief, and then yelled in annoyance.
"Don't worry, don't worry." Dick made a pressing gesture: "Rivaldo wants to leave, aren't we mentally prepared for it? Last year he was willing to take the basic salary mainly because I told him that we could win the Champions League...
...Now that he has won the Champions League, do you think that with his character, he will still be willing to stay in Dortmund? It’s just a good time to hang out and go back to Brazil to retire... Maybe that’s what he thinks now, but I think it’s best to
In the last year or two, he still hoped to play football in Europe."
"That means...let him go?" Marina asked.
"Of course, but you have to get some transfer fees. After all, he still has one year on his contract. Even if it is a low price, you have to get a symbolic amount. The clubs in Brazil are starting to have money now... But Cavina
It won't be that cheap if Gina wants to leave. His performance this year has been very good, so he should be sold at a high price." Dick said, touching his chin.
"He just asked for a raise..." Marina reminded weakly.
"Dortmund won't give players a salary increase now." Dick replied calmly.
"That's it." Marriner also came to his senses. He had heard Dick say that Dortmund's next plan was based on reducing salary expenses. Players who wanted a salary increase would only be sold. He thought
After thinking about it, he said: "If you put it this way, I'm afraid Frings will also leave, and his agent has also expressed his intention to raise his salary."
"I can't give him a raise even if I give him eight dollars." Dick said something that Malina couldn't understand. When Malina looked at him strangely, he shook his head: "Nothing...others"
What about the players, do any of them want to leave?"
In Dick's view, there shouldn't be too many original Dortmund players who want to leave. After all, if players like Kyle and Vaughns want to leave, they already left last season and won't wait until now to leave.
"The other players don't have any intentions right now...but there is news from Arsenal that they seem to want to pack Lehmann and Rosicky away." Marriner finally said.
Dick was stunned for a moment by these words, and then he laughed: "Can they afford the money?"
When he said this, Dick did not mean to discredit Arsenal, but he knew that Arsenal was in the most difficult financial time now, and it was also the time when their performance and status began to decline. In recent years, they would not be in
There is no big deal in the transfer market, and Lehmann and Rosicky, if it were changed in history, it would not be unusual to go to Arsenal, but now, Lehmann's performance in the Champions League is top-notch, and with Buffon, Dida, Cardiff
Silas is not inferior in comparison to the top goalkeepers, and he still has two years left on his contract. If he wants to leave, he will not be able to get even millions, and it is impossible to get two hundred like in history.
He went to Arsenal for 500,000 yuan. As for Rosicky, given his age and performance, even if he were to leave, his worth would be absolutely top-notch.
"They quoted Lehmann 2 million euros and Rosicky 8 million euros," Marriner replied.
"Tell them, if Lehmann doesn't have 8 million, don't talk about it. As for Rosicky, it's impossible to let him go for less than 20 million. Remember, it's pounds, not euros."
"You are too dark..." Marina couldn't help but say.
"There are even darker things... If someone makes an offer for Kavina Girivaldo Frings and the others, just tell me and I promise to squeeze out the maximum value... Last year, time was tight and the tasks were heavy. There were many players who I regarded as
Half sold and half given away, I have enough time this summer, no one can take advantage of me!"
After saying this, Dick smiled and took out a check and stuffed it into Marina's pocket: "You have been tired this year... This is the bonus given to you. Now go back for vacation.
You can just wait until July 15th when the team starts to gather and come back, I'll give you a month's leave."
"One million?" Marina took out the check and looked at it, then shouted in surprise: "Why do you give me so much money?"
"Don't underestimate yourself, Robert, you are worth so much." Dick patted Marriner on the shoulder: "Besides, I earned nearly 20 million in Dortmund last season, and you deserve it.
I have to rely on you to continue to support me from now on!"
