The train back to Southampton has not yet entered the station, and the players of the Bucks Steel Horns are talking and laughing on the platform, thinking about how to party in the bar tonight and how to spend 10,000 pounds.
Their head coach Carter left the crowd, found a remote and deserted corner, took out his cell phone and dialed Rice's phone number.
After two busy signals, the call was connected.
"Hey, Lamar." Old Rice's unhurried voice came from the other end of the phone, "How was the game?"
Coach Carter said nervously: "Old Les! Something big has happened!"
Old Rice on the other end of the phone also tightened his voice, "Lamar, don't tell me that you lost the game - although it is normal for you to lose the game, we have something to say first. If you are not even the top 8 in the country,
If so, there is really nothing I can do about the labor certification issue. The Saints' board of directors will not consider using the only special talent quota for an amateur player who is not even the top eight in the country."
Coach Carter quickly said: "No, old Les, you misunderstood! We did not lose! Not only did we not lose, but we also won 1:3 by two goals! This result is better than the game I entered into the top 8 that year.
Even better! What's even more awesome is that Gu Ran performed very well. Not only did he have two very exciting overtakings on the outside like Bell, he also had a heavy artillery cloud-piercing arrow shot from a long distance, and a Lampard-style kick.
A through ball! I have recorded his wonderful performance, and you can see it when I go back!"
Old Les smiled and said: "Haha! Congratulations! This is really great! Isn't it? But why are you so nervous?"
Coach Carter said eagerly: "Of course I have to be nervous! When you have a super, super, super huge piece of gold, aren't you afraid of being missed by thieves? Listen to me, Old Les, you know that our opponent hired a temporary
Who is the manager? It’s Frank Lampard!”
Old Rice said: "Oh? St. Paul's Boys' School has always had a good relationship with Chelsea. It's not too much for them to invite Lampard. Shouldn't you be even more happy that you defeated Lampard?"
Coach Carter said: "No, no, no, the point is not that they hired Lampard as coach, the point is not that we defeated Lampard, but that Lampard discovered that Gu Ran is a super, super, huge piece of gold!
Lampard directly approached Gu Ran after the game and invited him to join the Chelsea youth team!"
"What!!!"
There was a lot of jingling on the other end of the phone. Apparently, old Les got excited and hit the cup on his hand and broke it.
That's Chelsea!
Who can say no to Chelsea?
Basically, Chelsea can poach whoever they want!
Just because the owner of Chelsea is named Abramovich!
And what is Southampton Football Club?
A club of the port working class almost disbanded due to a serious financial crisis in 2009. A large number of outstanding young talents were sold at low prices. The board of directors was purged and fell apart. It was not until the Swiss consortium Lieber family acquired it that it finally survived as a "junk".
club!
Thanks to the injection of life-saving funds, the Southampton club had a good record in the 2009-10 season and just won the England Youth League Championship not long ago (this competition is very valuable in the UK).
But Southampton will still be in English League One next season, only one level above the lowest League Two.
Southampton's funds in the transfer market are less than a fraction of Chelsea's.
Although Southampton was founded 20 years earlier than Chelsea and had glorious moments in the top league, the current Southampton really cannot be compared with Chelsea.
Old Lais didn't care to clean up the broken cup and asked eagerly: "Did Gu Ran agree?"
Coach Carter said: "You don't even know who I am? Can I make Gu Ran agree to this kind of thing? Gu still listens to my words."
"Praise God!" Old Les said excitedly: "Well done! Lamar!"
Coach Carter said: "Don't rush to praise God! Our current situation has become more and more urgent! I don't think Lampard's invitation to Gu Ran was just casual talk. I can predict that Chelsea will definitely
There will be action. Of course, Chelsea has never paid much attention to youth training, and their upper management will not show too much interest in Gu Ran, so we still have a chance! If this week, your club's board of directors has not finalized Gu Ran.
If the genius clause is activated, then Gu Ran may really be poached! Yes, I am not being alarmist. It is just Chelsea now, and more big-name clubs will join in the competition for Gu Ran in the future.
!Just because Gu Ran is really a super, super, huge gold nugget!"
Old Rice said solemnly: "I know - but this kind of thing involving a power struggle is not as easy to handle as you think. The inside of the Saints board of directors is still in chaos. This is why I once quit management.
I have to sort out the relationship bit by bit for various reasons. The only good thing is that although these old guys on the Saints board of directors don’t like each other and are fighting among themselves, no one wants to let Southampton miss out.
Genius player. I believe that a true genius can unite a fractured Saints board of directors. Lamar, let's meet tonight. Don't go to the bar. That's not a place for business. When can you come back?
Southampton? I will send a car to pick you up when you arrive at the station, remember to bring your DV tape!"
"Okay! I'll arrive around 6 o'clock..."
After hanging up the phone, Coach Carter let out a long sigh of relief.
At this time, the National High School Championships are in full swing, and the 2010 World Cup is about to begin.
But for Coach Carter, the real war is the battle for Gu Ran, and this war has begun quietly.
Coach Carter couldn't help but get excited!
…
6pm.
The sky has darkened.
Gu Ran accompanied Annie to stroll in a famous luxury department store in London.
Gu Ran was not in a hurry to eat, and neither was Annie.
Both of them wanted to delay as much time as possible until dark.
Annie delayed for time so that she could prepare a mysterious reward for Gu Ran.
And Gu Ran was delaying time just to get Annie's mysterious reward.
Annie rarely goes shopping. She is a big star, and being a big star means living in the spotlight. She is rarely as carefree as ordinary people. Her assistants usually help her buy clothes and shoes.
But now, she can go shopping with Gu Ran's company, and she is naturally as cute as a little girl who has "never seen the world", constantly touching and looking around.
Gu Ran also took the trouble to stay with Annie.
Shopping with a Hollywood princess-level star is a kind of happiness in itself.
What's more... there is a mysterious reward tonight.
What will it be?
It shouldn't be anything like that.
After all, my goddess won't be so direct.
But if the goddess is really direct, I can handle it.
Well...eat more tonight.
Gu Ran followed Annie, looking at Annie's graceful figure, while fantasizing happily.
When they arrived at a crowded place, Gu Ran thoughtfully moved forward and put his strong arms around Annie's waist and hips to prevent passers-by from touching Annie.
After all, Hollywood princess-level celebrities are very valuable and must not be allowed to others.
Anne didn't say anything, she didn't even refuse.
Because Annie knew that Gu Ran was a good person, and Gu Ran did this simply to protect her.
Through watching football and shopping this time, Annie's affection for Gu Ran deepened twofold.
Annie said sheepishly: "I am your life assistant. In fact, I should protect you from being touched by others."
Gu Ran smiled and said: "You're welcome, just do more work for me later and repay me."
"Yeah..." Anne agreed softly.
Gu Ran felt like his bones were about to become soft, and the hand placed on Annie's waist didn't feel tired at all.
I don’t feel tired even after a whole day!
The rhythm of Annie's hips when she walks is very natural. She is naturally delicate and charming. The key point is that Annie's appearance is still so pure. Purity and desire are intertwined. This experience is really top-notch and wonderful...
When he walked to a place with few people, Gu Ran was reluctant to put his hands down.
Annie also seemed to have forgotten that there was a warm, big hand on her waist that was filled with the touch of young wild hormones, and she just continued to twist her hips naturally.
Both of them are using their acting skills to support it.
When he walked to a luxury store, Gu Ran suddenly stopped.
"Balenciaga..." Gu Ran looked up at the signboard, and then slightly curled his lips, "Let's take a look inside?"
Annie nodded obediently, "Okay."
Balenciaga can be considered a first-tier luxury brand in the world, but compared with Prada, Balenciaga is still a little behind.
Anne's endorsements are basically Prada, and most of her clothes, shoes, and hats are also from Prada. Anne's vision naturally disdains "small brands" like Balenciaga.
However, when Gu Ran said he wanted to go shopping, she was willing to follow him.
The two walked into the Balenciaga store together and were immediately greeted by a female shopping guide with a high nose.
"Welcome...ma'am, sir."
The female shopping guide first glanced at Gu Ran's clothes, and her eyes suddenly turned disdainful. Then she glanced at Annie, and her eyes became even more disdainful.
Annie's sunhat blocked her face, and she was only wearing professional LO clothes. There were two light gray stains on her white shirt on her chest - the female shopping guide thought Annie ran away from some construction site.
So I despised Anne even more.
Gu Ran could see the contempt of the female shopping guide, but Gu Ran didn't care about the gaze of an insect. Gu Ran asked directly: "Tell me what types of stockings you have."
Yes, I came here just to buy stockings for Annie.
Gu Ran broke Annie's stockings on the train and agreed to compensate Annie for new stockings.
Balenciaga's stockings, especially black stockings, are top notch.
When Annie heard that Gu Ran was coming to buy stockings for her, she quickly declined: "No, no, there are many pairs at home! There is really no need to buy them."
Gu Ran smiled and said: "No, I agreed on the train that I must buy it for you."
"Oh, you really don't need it. It's not entirely your fault if you break the stockings..." Anne said softly.
The female shopping guide on the side crossed her arms in front of her and said with a scornful expression: "Sorry, we have too many types of stockings. It would be a waste of time to introduce them. Moreover, our stockings are very expensive. I'm afraid you will spend too much money."
I'm sorry."
...yo ho!
How arrogant!
I don’t want to show off, but you guys have to force me to show off and slap you in the face!
Gu Ran smiled coldly in his heart and was about to speak, but Annie beside him couldn't stand it anymore, "What kind of attitude do you have as a shopping guide! What do you mean we can't afford to spend money? Who are you looking down on?"
The female shopping guide sneered and said: "A pair of stockings can only cost about 200 pounds at most. You are still hesitating here and talking about this. If you can't afford it, just go away. When you go out, turn left and then left. There are affordable supermarkets. Then
The stockings inside cost £3 for two pairs!”
"You!" Annie was so angry that she wanted to take off her hat so that this scornful female shopping guide could see who she was.
"Okay! See if I can afford it!" Annie angrily took out her Centurion Black Card.
The female shopping guide was stunned for a moment. She obviously knew the strength of the Centurion Black Card, but... stockings are the cheapest among Balenciaga products. The cheapest means that the shopping guide earns less commission, so this
The female shopping guide still couldn't get excited.
However, it was a business after all, and the female shopping guide went to pick up the black card arrogantly.
At this moment, Gu Ran raised his hand to stop Annie and took the black card, "Annie, I agreed to buy it for you, how can I let you swipe the card?"
Annie said angrily: "Gu, please don't worry about this matter. I just can't stand her arrogant face."
...It's wrong for you to slap me in the face like that.
Let me teach you the correct posture.
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Let me do it."
Although I probably didn’t read many online novels in my previous life, Gu Ran could do this kind of vulgar show-off and slap-in-the-face scenes with his eyes closed.
I just didn't expect that after returning from rebirth, I would actually have to apply what I learned and teach Anne Hathaway face to face.
"First of all, we need to find a shopping guide who is more pleasing to the eye." Gu Ran cleared his throat, turned to another female shopping guide with a badge of "trainee shopping guide" and asked: "Come and introduce to me the stockings you have here.
What color and type."
"This..." The intern female shopping guide carefully glanced at the previous female shopping guide.
The female shopping guide from before sneered, "It doesn't matter, I'll give you this order, it's just a pair of torn stockings."
The basic salary of a shopping guide in a luxury store is not high, but there is a 5% commission for every order sold.
A pair of Balenciaga stockings costs about 100-200 pounds, and if you sell one pair, you get a commission of 5 to 10 pounds.
——It’s no wonder that the female shopping guide from before was full of disgust.
The intern female shopping guide immediately introduced with a smile on her face: "That's it, madam, sir. Our stockings are available in black, white, flesh color, pink, red, gray, oh, and the latest gradient color. In terms of style.
There are standard stockings, as well as feminine garter stockings, pantyhose, half-length stockings, and short stockings. Judging from the appearance, there are also ordinary stockings, letter stockings, polka dot stockings, fishnet stockings, etc.
wait."
Damn it...
Just listening to these types and colors can make LSP emerge with corresponding pictures.
Gu Ran nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad, short stockings——"
The intern female shopping guide immediately said: "Oh, you want short stockings, right? Short stockings are the cheapest, only costing 65 pounds."
The female shopping guide from before let out a sneer.
Gu Ran shook his head, "No, I mean, I don't want short stockings."
The intern female shopping guide was stunned.
The arrogant female shopping guide couldn’t help laughing contemptuously, “I’ve been talking for a long time, but you can’t even afford short stockings!”
Gu Ran continued: "Except for short stockings, no matter how many styles there are of other stockings, give me 3 pairs of each style."
"ah?"
The trainee female shopping guide and the previous female shopping guide were both dumbfounded.
Annie was also shocked, "Gu..."
"Oh," Gu Ran quickly added: "The black suspenders, 10 more of each style."
Annie said eagerly: "Gu, there are too many! There is no need to buy so many!"
Shut up woman! What do you know!
This is not bought for you, this is bought for myself, you are only responsible for putting it on and taking it off!
Gu Ran smiled at Annie's heartthrob, "No, Annie, you deserve it."
The intern shopping guide quickly reminded her kindly: "Sir, our stockings are not cheap! As for the stockings you want to buy just now, I roughly calculated that there are at least more than 80 pairs! Even if the average price of each pair is 150 pounds, this is
The order will cost at least 12,000 pounds or more!”
Gu Ran sighed, "Okay, it's a bit cheap - Annie, just wear it."
Considering Anne's status as a Hollywood princess, a pair of Prada stockings costs more than 500 pounds. The price of Balenciaga's stockings is indeed too cheap.
Annie also smiled and said: "Yes, it is indeed quite cheap, but it is really not necessary to have so many. God, how long do I have to wear more than 80 pairs of stockings?"
...It depends on my application of stocking removal technique.
Gu Ran cleared his throat, "Anyway, this is what I'm giving you, and you must accept it."
Annie nodded obediently and stopped arguing with Gu Ran - this feeling of being forced by Gu Ran was actually a bit sweet.
Why is this happening...
Anne herself couldn't explain clearly.
When the shopping guide lady saw that Gu Ran actually wanted to buy 80 pairs of stockings, she immediately came over enchantingly and said with a shy smile: "Sir, this intern can't do it, so let me serve you!"
Gu Ran said coldly: "No need."
Annie also said excitedly: "Yes! No need!"
The previous shopping guide's face collapsed, and a blue skill bubble dropped from her feet!
Gu Ran didn't even look at it - although there was still one useless opportunity to pick up today, there was absolutely no need to waste his thoughts on this kind of person.
The intern shopping guide quickly calculated the specific total price, and as expected, it was more than 12,000 pounds.
This amount of money is definitely a big deal for a luxury product like Balenciaga.
Gu Ran directly swiped his card in a smart manner.
The intern shopping guide said excitedly: "Sir, it will take some time to pack so many stockings. Why don't you take a rest here?"
Gu Ran waved his hand, "Leave me a phone number and we'll go have dinner first. I'll call you after dinner and you can deliver it to us."
"Okay sir, of course no problem, I will be happy to serve you."
Gu Ran took out two more 50-pound banknotes and handed them to the intern shopping guide, "This is considered your travel expenses and service fees."
The intern shopping guide excitedly took over the purchase, "Thank you, sir, you are so generous! This lady must be very happy to have a boyfriend like you!"
Damn it...
That being said, this £100 tip was well spent!
Gu Ran took the opportunity to observe Anne secretly, but Anne didn't even refute.
"By the way," Gu Ran asked again: "Do you... have any maid uniforms here?"
The intern shopping guide opened his mouth wide, "...I'm sorry, sir."
Gu Ran said: "Forget it if you don't have it, hurry up and pack it up."
After saying that, Gu Ran turned back to Annie and said, "Annie, don't think too much. I mainly want to buy you clothes suitable for housework as work clothes, so that you don't need to wear Prada to do housework."
Annie nodded, "Yeah, Gu, you are so thoughtful."
Ha ha!
It’s great! It’s great!
Not only did Annie not refute what her boyfriend said, she also didn’t object to the maid uniform!
Gu Ran was so excited that he could hardly control how much he wanted to send.
"Welcome next time -"
Under the unanimous greetings of the shopping guides, the two walked out of Balenciaga together.
As soon as they went out, Annie grabbed Gu Ran's arm excitedly, "Gu! I feel so good! It feels so good! I have never experienced such a feeling of joy!"
Damn it...
It's just a vulgar show-off to slap someone in the face.
Annie, you really haven't...read the online novel.
Gu Ran smiled coldly, "Oh, it's not bad."
Annie said excitedly: "Ah! Gu, you are so calm and able to keep your composure! I'm so happy that you just said it's okay? Have you seen the expression on the face of that arrogant female shopping guide?
Hahaha, when you swiped the card, she was almost out of breath! Also, when you tipped the intern, she almost collapsed! She missed the biggest order of the day
!Gu, how on earth did you come up with the idea of retaliating against her arrogance in this way?"
Gu Ran suddenly felt dumbfounded:
Annie, don't worship me so much. This is really a bad old joke in China.
If any online novel author writes such plots now, readers will dig him up and bury him alive!
Gu Ran cleared his throat and said: "I can only say that I just come from life and am a little bit higher than life."
Annie praised with all her heart: "I understand! This is art! Gu, your behavior is art! Gu, you are so great!"
...I just slapped you in the face, how did you become such a special artist?
Annie, please stop praising me. Really, I still want to be embarrassed.
Gu Ran sighed quietly, "Annie, as long as you are happy."
Annie took the initiative to hold Gu Ran's arm, "I'm not only happy, I swear, this is the happiest day for me so far!"
Damn it...
This is the real pleasure...
It's nothing to show off and slap your face in Balenciaga!
This is the real pleasure!!!
Annie's favor quickly grew!
If this continues, will tonight's mysterious gift be... Hehehe.
Gu Ran was so happy that his soul almost floated.
"Gu, it's getting late..."
"Um."
"Then let's go eat first?"
"well!"
Gu Ran and Annie got into a taxi and headed to tonight's dining place - the Chiltern Firehouse restaurant located in the center of the wealthy Marylebone area of London.
This is a high-end Western restaurant frequented by celebrities and celebrities.
