Because the weekend game was an evening game, and the intensive Christmas drive would soon follow, Aldridge gave the team a day off on the second day of the game, and got up early in the morning to go for a jog to keep fit.
But as soon as he opened the door in his sportswear, he saw paparazzi reporters standing outside with cameras. The flashing lights of the cameras made Aldrich's eyes hurt.
"Mr. Hall, did you have a sex party at the Green Hotel last night?"
"Have you finally dumped that little singer?"
"Were there any Millwall players among the people who attended the party last night?"
"Who else did you hook up with besides Katie Price?"
...
British paparazzi are all-pervasive, especially when it comes to tracking breaking news, which is unparalleled in the world. They will make the person concerned the center of attention immediately, and use the most vicious words, the most provocative gestures, and the most shameless
This method is used to make the parties involved in the whirlpool lose their composure or even lose their minds, so that they can take the most explosive photos.
Faced with these malicious questions, will Aldrich become angry and act irrationally?
If he curses, his reputation will be damaged immediately, regardless of whether the news is true. If he gets into a fight, it will be even more lively.
Aldrich had just taken two steps out of the door. Facing countless microphones and cameras, he was stunned for a second, then raised a smile and slowly backed away. When he returned home, he pointed at the door line of his house, signaling to reporters
Be careful, don't step in, otherwise you will be breaking into a private house.
He gently closed the door to his house with a smile on his face.
The paparazzi reporters sighed in disappointment, then exited and got into their cars, but their high-powered cameras were still focused on Aldrich's apartment.
Aldrich was sitting on the sofa. He had a computer at home, but there was no synchronized news to browse on the current Internet. He roughly guessed what happened. It was just Jordan the King biting back.
When he picked up the phone and was about to call, someone called first.
"Hello."
"Aldrich, where are you?"
"at home."
"Just stay at home, don't go anywhere, and don't talk to any outsiders. Unplug the phone line at home. I'll go find you now."
"good."
Aldrich hung up the call from Andrew and waited quietly. Sure enough, his home landline phone kept ringing. It seemed that many reporters wanted to interview him over the phone. He did not unplug the phone line.
Instead, he picked up the phone and hung up, then put the phone on the table, keeping it busy.
Andrew arrived very quickly, wearing a suit and leather shoes that looked like a professional lawyer. With him were two men in their early thirties, probably employees of his company.
When Aldrich opened the door, reporters were crowded outside again, but other than taking a few photos, they couldn't get any other news.
Just as Aldrich was about to open the door, he suddenly heard someone yelling angrily at the reporters: "You dirty liars! The boss had dinner at my house last night and didn't go to any shabby hotel at all!"
Aldridge looked over and saw Villa standing on the outside holding a football with an angry look on his face.
The reporters were also stunned, and then turned to look at Villa. Some people planned to take pictures, but Aldridge immediately shouted to Villa: "David, go home!"
Andrew reacted quickly. He winked at his assistant, who immediately walked out and warned the reporters who were about to take pictures: "He is not yet an adult. If you take pictures and publish them, just wait for the court to call him!"
Villa saw that Aldridge was smiling and not nervous at all. He showed a contemptuous expression to the paparazzi, then put the ball down and disappeared with the ball in his lap.
After closing the door again, Aldrich sat down on the sofa. Andrew took out several newspapers from his briefcase and handed them to Aldrich for him to read.
They are all tabloids with gossipy news as their content.
Among them, the front page of "The Sun" is very conspicuous. Half of it shows Aldridge's heroic appearance directing the game from the sidelines, and the other half shows a full-length photo of Katie Price without any clothes.
"The crazy lion coach personally went into battle! He was the captain of the starting 11! Katie Price lost and left the Green Hotel!"
Aldrich was delighted when he saw the title.
Then he opened the next page and read the news content in detail. He read it with great interest.
The news quoted Katie Price personally breaking the news.
She was too innocent: "Everyone knows that I admire Aldrich and I want to be friends with him, so when he took the initiative to ask me out, I was pleasantly surprised. I thought maybe something romantic would happen between us.
It would be wonderful. However, when I walked into the suite he had booked at the Green Hotel, his handsome and handsome image in my mind was completely overturned. He was a disgusting man, and the room in the suite was poor.
There were not more than a dozen men, they were almost naked, and they were obviously ready to have fun. Aldrich thought wrong, I am not that kind of girl, I left the suite immediately, nothing happened, but I didn't know what happened after them.
What did I do, I rejected them, but they are already ready to enjoy it and will definitely find other girls to serve them. Now, Aldrich, this man, only makes me feel sick."
Aldrich put down the newspaper and read another newspaper. The tabloids that followed later also wrote similar news.
Andrew waited for him to read all the newspapers, then crossed his arms and asked calmly: "What happened? Tell me the truth from beginning to end."
As a lawyer, Andrew didn't look carefree at this moment.
After Aldrich truthfully told what happened, Andrew looked at him with a strange look.
Waving to him and pursing his lips in the direction of the kitchen, Andrew said, "Let's take a step to talk."
Aldrich followed him to the kitchen, and the two brothers lit a cigarette. Andrew said: "Aldrich, what are you doing? You can reject her, ignore her, or play along with her, but there is no need to make such a big fuss.
.”
"What's the meaning?"
"I mean, my brother, you're a celebrity now, you're rich, look at you, you're wearing Armani, you're enviable, you're in great shape, and there's tons of people cheering for you every weekend, of course.
There are countless girls who want to get close to you, and there will be the best among them, but what are you doing? You closed the door and shut them out. This is something that only the most devout believers among a hundred men would do, but
You don’t have any religious beliefs, I can’t figure it out.”
Andrew stared at Aldrich as if he were a monster, but Aldrich shook his head and said, "Big brother would do the same thing."
"The eldest brother's ambitions are all in his career! He is trying his best to create the aristocratic image of the Hall family, but he can't get rid of his nouveau riche background. He can only make mistakes. Others can point at his nose and say that he is illiterate. It can be said that he is illiterate.
He is a nouveau riche, but you cannot call him a playboy. This does not make him rich.
clan, but it will win him some respect. Aldrich, I have always felt that you and I are very similar. We can enjoy ourselves in time, and there is no need to impose ascetic dogma on ourselves. You are rich and have countless women at your command.
You go bankrupt and they abandon you, that's how the world is."
Andrew said with wide eyes.
Probably he worked as a helper in his family's glass factory when he was underage. The eldest brother Barnett is very enthusiastic about the social status of "superior". Even though he became a new rich man in the British business world, he never lived a corrupt life.
On the contrary, he worked hard to become a nobleman. Even if he could not reach this height in his life, he would work tirelessly to let the second and third generations of successors realize their long-cherished wish.
Aldrich was silent for two minutes while smoking a cigarette, and then said slowly: "Andrew, let me tell you a story."
"You said, we all have time."
"I know a friend. He is an ordinary person. He graduated from an ordinary university, works an ordinary job, and then has an ordinary girlfriend. When he was almost thirty years old, he proposed to his girlfriend, but her girlfriend hesitated because she
His family demanded that the man own a property, so the relationship came to an end, and the man continued to remain single, full of confusion about marriage and family, because it was impossible for him to buy a property in just a few years."
"It's over?"
"It's over."
"Is your friend's girlfriend an idiot? Are her family members idiots too?"
"My friend is Chinese, and the consumption concept there is different from that in Europe and the United States. As long as our friends have a stable job, they can own a house and a car, and they only need to pay off the loan before they die, but it is different in China.
, save enough money to buy a house before they die, but most people don’t save enough money before they die. Rented houses and houses with loans are not safe.”
Andrew blinked and was too lazy to think about the cultural differences between the East and the West. This was not something he could understand by racking his brains. He just spread his hands and said: "Your experience in traveling around the world tells you that feelings and money should be separated, right?"
Aldrich thought for a while and nodded, saying: "When sincere feelings are worthless in front of money, it has a great impact on people. So I want to live a simpler life. Today I will be Katie Price, and tomorrow I will be Katie Price."
Who could it be? There will always be girls one after another. I am not trying to flatter myself, but this is the tradition of British vulgar entertainment culture."
Andrew patted Aldrich on the shoulder and finally understood what this brother was thinking.
In fact, he is self-aware. He has slept with many famous models and stars, but if he has no money, those beautiful girls will definitely stay away from him.
Therefore, this playboy just enjoys sensual pleasure. Aldrich does not have such a hobby, and Andrew cannot be criticized.
"Okay, I understand. Bring me the phone recording and I will help you get it done. I will also ensure that from now on, those professional sugar daddy girls will not target you again to avoid humiliating themselves."
Aldrich smiled and fist-bumped him, then went upstairs to get him the tape.
