Aldridge's sarcastic post-match interview was widely publicized the next day as Millwall would seek revenge against Newcastle United next season.
Kevin Keegan naturally sneered, thinking that the old powerhouse Newcastle United did not bother to compare with Millwall. They met Millwall twice in the cup, but Millwall was unlucky and instead relied on Newcastle United's reputation.
Increase visibility.
After entering March, because Millwall was far behind its pursuers in the standings, Aldridge had some room for relaxation. Under the premise of ensuring that the main lineup could play one game a week, there were four substitutes left for the substitute lineup.
to six training sessions.
In mid-March, Aldrich came home from get off work as usual, but saw a dazzling array of high-end cars in the parking lot in front of his home.
He sighed helplessly: There is another party at home.
In this luxurious villa, parties will be held every now and then. Some of them are Arthur's invitations to old neighbors, and some of them are just under random names, such as birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
It's not that Aldrich is withdrawn, it's just that sometimes he drags his tired body home and just wants to take a comfortable bath and rest. The sudden attack of the party makes him unprepared and has to brace himself.
Walking home, Aldrich thought to himself: It's time to move out and live alone.
He adjusted his suit, forced out a smile and walked into the hall. He saw a sea of people in the living room. Aldrich looked at the handsome men and beauties walking through the hall, and after observing it, he came to the conclusion: Today's party was not of a high quality.
Low.
Not only the clothes of the guests, but also the gentlemanly words and deeds displayed by the male guests and the elegance shown by the female guests.
It was definitely not as noisy as when Arthur invited his old neighbors over, and he would even jump up and down in the villa.
Aldrich grabbed Ross and asked in a low voice: "What is today?"
Ross pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and said seriously: "Mr. Hall just made a fortune. He held a banquet at home and invited many business partners and several big shots from Barclays Bank."
The "Mr. Hall" in Ross's mouth is naturally Aldrich's eldest brother Barnett.
He picked up some food on a plate in front of the dining table, and then leaned against the stairs with a glass of champagne. He put one hand in his bag and raised the glass with the other, enjoying the scene at home in boredom.
He really didn't expect that Barnett could hire big shots from Barclays Bank.
Originally, Aldridge didn't know much about the capitalist world, but since Barclays became the Premier League's sponsor after the new millennium, he did know a little bit about the background of Barclays in his previous life. The account introducing Barclays is unforgettable.
:Total assets exceed one trillion pounds!
This is what he calls a consortium.
Therefore, Barnett was able to recruit people from the Barclays Bank consortium. It was obviously impossible for a small clerk to represent them, which was enough to surprise Aldrich.
Occasionally hearing words from guests, Aldrich roughly understood what it meant that Barnett had made a fortune.
Not long ago, the financial crisis broke out in Mexico, and Barnett took the opportunity to make a fortune.
Suddenly, the corners of Aldrich's mouth turned up in a wonderful arc.
He saw a familiar stranger.
A woman wearing a tight black dress covering her slender figure stood in the distance, dealing with the man who was chatting with her.
Aldridge took a sip of champagne and laughed secretly: The future Beckham now looks like a frightened child.
He didn't know why Victoria showed up at home, he just felt that it was very satisfying to watch Victoria's uneasy movements.
"She's pretty, isn't she?"
I don't know when a young and beautiful woman appeared next to me. She had long flowing dark brown hair and a good figure. She was the kind of curvy and voluptuous figure that Aldrich would admire very much. She was also wearing a black dress. Look.
It looks pleasing to the eye.
Aldrich followed the other person's cunning gaze and saw that it was indeed Victoria whom he had been staring at before. He shrugged and said, "Yes, she is indeed beautiful."
I cursed in my heart: I just don’t know if she will still be smiling ten years from now.
I remember that after she married Beckham, as Beckham became more and more famous, she spent most of her time trying to be cool when she appeared in public. The British media ridiculed that Beckham had married a wife who couldn't laugh.
"Do you like her?"
The girl blinked playfully, but Aldrich waved his hands repeatedly as if he was frightened: "No, no, no, she is a rose with thorns. Do you like her? It would be better to kill me than to be tortured by her."
"Huh? Then why are you staring at her?"
"Don't you think she looks like a penguin that left Antarctica now? She doesn't know where to put her hands. She seems to be afraid of being choked by her own saliva when she talks. Her smile is not ugly, but it's very funny."
Aldrich talked freely and did not feel that it was inappropriate to make fun of others in this way.
"Oh, I will convey your words to her."
"Eh? You are?"
"Melanie Chisholm, that's my good sister, her name is Victoria, she and I are in the same group, the Spice Girls, you probably haven't heard of them, we haven't officially debuted yet."
The embarrassment on Aldrich's face flashed away. He just teased Victoria, good guy, but he didn't expect there was one lurking next to him.
Facing the opponent's extended hand, Aldridge also reached out and shook the opponent's hand gently, smiling and saying: "Aldrich Hall, I am a football coach."
"Football coach? Well, seeing that you are so young, you should be an ordinary coach. I like Liverpool. I was born in Liverpool. Apart from Liverpool games, I don't watch other games. Uh, it's strange. You are just a coach, how can you come here?
Are you attending a banquet here?"
Melanie Chisholm looked Aldrich up and down and shook her head in confusion.
Aldrich shrugged without explaining, and Melanie then asked: "Have you known Victoria before?"
"I don't know."
"Then why do you seem to be afraid of her?"
"Afraid? It's a joke. I just know how good she is at causing trouble and tormenting people after she becomes famous. I don't know other men about this kind of woman. I'm disgusted."
Melanie's eyes widened with an incredible expression, and her surprised look was even a bit cute. She asked: "How do you know she will be famous? If she is famous, then I should be famous too. She and I
It’s a combination.”
Aldrich raised his head without changing his expression and said, "Of course I know, because I come from the future."
Poof!
Melanie almost burst out laughing. She glared at Aldridge with a reproachful look in her eyes and said, "That's such a corny statement."
Aldrich raised his hand with an innocent face and said, "I'm telling the truth."
"Hehehe, okay, Aldrich from the future, if you come from the future, then tell me, what will the weather be like tomorrow?"
Aldrich raised his eyebrows and said: "It's going to rain in Manchester tomorrow!"
Melanie raised her fist and feigned anger and said, "I was born in Liverpool. It often rains three or four times a day in that damn place in Manchester. It seems like you can only lie to children."
After saying that, Melanie lowered her head and smiled, suddenly feeling that the handsome guy next to her was very interesting.
At this moment, all the eyes of the guests in the hall were focused on the stairs. Aldrich also looked up and saw Barnett in a suit and ties and several men who were also well-dressed walking down, all with expressions on their faces.
Smile, it seems that we had a very pleasant chat upstairs just now.
Melanie looked at the men curiously, but she heard Aldrich muttering beside her: "Can't see me, can't see me, can't see me..."
But he happened to be standing on the edge of the stairs. Barnett saw him at a glance and waved happily: "Aldrich, so you are here. Come here quickly and I will introduce you to some friends."
Aldrich lamented in his heart: My brother, I have no interest in your friends at all, not to mention they are all males!
Melanie's eyes widened, wondering who the person next to her was.
Aldrich said to Melanie with a wry smile: "He is my eldest brother, and this is my home."
"Aren't you a football coach?"
"Is there a conflict?"
"Well......"
Aldrich smiled apologetically and walked towards Barnett.
After he left, Victoria walked up to Melanie and asked curiously: "Who was the man who was chatting with you just now?"
"He's that gentleman's brother."
"Mr. Hall?"
"That's Mr. Hall? No way, isn't the Hall family very rich? Why does Aldrich still want to be a football coach? He can't make much money."
Melanie is puzzled. Even a top head coach can't earn millions of pounds a year now. The Hall family has a huge business, and a direct descendant of the Hall family doesn't do business, so he can become a football coach?
He is such an outlier!
The Spice Girls are in the preparation stage of their debut. In the eyes of these girls, who have just reached the age of twenty, this kind of party belongs to the upper class. Their agent just wants them to come to try their luck and get to know more famous people.
There are pros and cons to career development, and besides, coming here is not to sell anything, it's just normal social interaction.
Aldrich was taken to a secluded place by Barnett. Barnett introduced him happily: "Aldrich, this is Mr. Bishop from Barclays Bank. Mr. Bishop, this is the one I just mentioned.
Brother, Aldrich.”
"Hello."
Aldrich shook hands with the other person, and then exchanged simple greetings, and then he remained silent. Bishop looked to be in his early forties, polite and gentle, and he observed Aldrich with interest.
, but couldn’t understand what qualities this young man had that Barnett praised so much.
The Hall family has many investments in Asia. When it came to this matter, Aldrich had no choice but to talk casually under the urging of Barnett's eyes.
But Bishop was deeply impressed by him.
"The economies of some Southeast Asian countries continue to overheat, and economic bubbles are inflating. It may not have much impact in the short term, but if it continues to develop, it will be worrying. By the way, brother, I think our family's investment in Southeast Asia will be completed before the end of next year.
We have all withdrawn, and we should have made a lot of money anyway.”
After hearing this, Barnett immediately asked the assistant behind him to write down the matter on a notepad.
Make money, that's for sure. A few years ago, the property market and stock market there were only worth a few dollars. With the economic growth in recent years, their investment has already seen high returns.
