Chapter 78 78
"I know," Ling Yun's voice was very soft, muffled, without any emotion, "I didn't take this matter to heart, and public opinion won't affect me. There is no A team that only wins and never loses."
"What's that for?" Alonso kissed his forehead, "Tell me, I won't see you look so sad."
Ling Yun smiled softly: "It's not because of you."
"Because of me?" Alonso laughed along with him, "Because I behaved too well and was too popular?"
Ling Yun raised his head and looked at him: "That's right, your former head coach said that they would never sell Kevin to Arsenal unless they exchanged you."
"Boss, I'm a little curious, how much am I worth?"
Ling Yun hugged him and looked at him for a while before giving the answer: "It's the price when I bought you, plus De Bruyne."
Alonso looked at the smile that finally appeared in his eyes: "You won't be tempted."
Ling Yun nodded solemnly: "Yes, I'm tempted."
Alonso thought for a while, and then asked a question he was more concerned about: "Then if I go to Chelsea, can I still live here?"
"You think beautiful."
Alonso hugged him tightly: "Didn't you say you were tempted first? You want to sell me to Chelsea."
Ling Yun snorted: "I don't need that 3500 million."
"But Kevin wants to go back to Arsenal."
"I'll find a way," Ling Yun put her head on his shoulder, "Let me figure out a way."
At this time, it was raining heavily in the movie, and Hutu soldiers surrounded the city and began to massacre Tutsi civilians on a large scale. At this time, the French armed forces finally arrived. Pick up the white people to evacuate, and you can only get on the bus with your passport in your hand.
A priest and a nun led a large group of children who had lost their parents to stand in the rain. The soldiers persuaded the priest and the white nun to get on the bus, but the children had to stay and hug each other tightly until they were forcibly separated.
The children watched the car leave. They were weak, helpless, and ragged, with despair and confusion in their eyes. Gunshots, screams, and crazy laughter came from time to time in the distance.
Seeing this scene, the two people sitting on the sofa fell silent, and Ling Yun spoke after a while: "This incident happened in 1994, what were we watching in 1994? "Xiao Shengke's Redemption", " Forrest Gump or Schindler's List."
No one sees such a scene without being passive, and Alonso is no exception, let alone the father of a child.
"In that year, somewhere on the earth, 100 million people died due to a civil strife, and countless children lost their parents forever." Ling Yun's voice was very calm, but his eyes that were staring at the TV were not so calm. , "There are many suffering people in this world, and their fate is closely connected with all people. Human beings do not exist in isolation on this earth. We have a responsibility to help each other. If we fail to realize this, then the end of human beings will come. (1)."
Ling Yun turned his head to look at his boyfriend, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face: "I think, I know what to do."
Alonso held his face and looked at him intently. Even if Ling Yun didn't say anything, he could roughly guess what the other party was thinking.They have been together day and night for a year and a half, and they are quite familiar with each other from body to soul.
He planted a precious kiss on Ling Yun's eyebrows. In addition to his deep love, there was also a lot of respect: "No matter what choice you make, I will always support you."
The first round between Arsenal and Chelsea was held at the Emirates Stadium. De Bruyne walked out of the away dressing room silently, looked up at his teammates who were lining up, and lowered his head again.
He did not enter Mourinho's starting list today. As Mourinho said "his fifth choice in this position", De Bruy knew in his heart that even if he sat on the bench for 5 minutes, he would not play. Chance.
De Bruyne is too familiar with the Emirates Stadium. In the second half of last season, it was still his home court. He followed Arsenal and won the league and Champions League championships.
On the night he lifted the Big Ears Cup with his teammates at Wembley Stadium, he was full of expectations for his future at Arsenal.
But now, his former teammates are still number one in the league, but he doesn't even have the chance to play.
When passing through the player channel, he first saw Hazard—his national team teammate, who was talking to Vermaelen, with a smile on his face that could be called innocent.
Vermaelen is also his fellow Belgian. The two turned their heads and saw him, so they greeted him with a smile.
De Bruyne raised his head, pretended to smile nonchalantly, and hugged them, and then his teammates turned their heads vaguely, Pogba, Cazorla, Sagna, and finally Alonso...
The other party hugged his shoulders, smiled and whispered in his ear: "Don't be discouraged, everything will be fine soon."
De Blau turned his head inside, and the eyes of the two met. He understood the message conveyed by the other party's eyes, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.
Does he really have a chance to return to Arsenal? Boss Xiao Ling still remembers him, and will he continue to work hard to buy him?
Ling Yun did not sit in his box today, but walked up to the stands, and went straight to an independent and wider area.
Accompanied by Marina, Chelsea boss Roman Abramovich also came to watch the match.
Ling Yun took the initiative to say hello to the other party, the two chatted and laughed happily, and talked about business for a long time before Ling Yun got to the point.
Ling Yun said: "You can let Makelele leave for free without paying any money. It is rumored that you are a loving and righteous boss."
Is there anyone in this world who doesn't like to hear others praise themselves for buying?In particular, this person is also the owner of another club, which has occupied most of the traffic for more than a year. It can be said that he is the top player in the Premier League and even European football.
Abu just smiled and didn't answer, but waited for Ling Yun's next words.
"Since De Bruyne has no place in Mourinho's plans and he is desperate to leave, what difference does it make to go to Dortmund, Wolfsburg or Arsenal?"
"Of course there is a difference," Marina brushed her long hair that fell on her shoulders. "Neither Dortmund nor Wolfsburg are our direct competitors, but Arsenal are."
Ling Yun glanced at her, then looked back, still looking at Abramovich and said: "Arsenal's enemy has never been Chelsea. The two clubs have always maintained a friendly relationship, and I believe it will be the same in the future."
Abu smiled face-to-face and said, "Of course."
Although the other party said these two words lightly, Ling Yun knew that there was something to be done, so he continued: "In the past history, our two teams have always had player exchanges, and there has never been any restriction on this."
At this time, Marina interjected again, her tone suddenly becoming a little blunt: "Letting players stay or leave depends on the arrangement of the head coach. Boss Xiao Ling's respect for Coach Wenger is appreciated by fans all over the world." Yes, I think you will respect his opinion on the transfer of players."
This time Ling Yun didn't even give her a glance out of the corner of his eye, and just ignored her. His anger suddenly became silent, and only the shouts of the fans around him could be heard.
Just 5 minutes into the game, Arsenal scored a goal!
From the moment Ling Yun spoke the first sentence, Abramovich knew that De Bruyne must be let go.
He wasn't an important player in the first place, he was just a discarded teenager from Chelsea, and if Ling Yun could ask him to release him in person, it was impossible for him not to give the opponent this face.
Furthermore, Mourinho's insistence on not letting anyone go to Arsenal is only because he is sure that Wenger wants to get De Bruyne and wants to get Harvey Alonso from this deal.
Even if Chelsea insist on selling him to the Bundesliga, what's the point of insisting on selling De Bruyne to the Bundesliga? The player's liquidated damages are less than 3000 million pounds, and it's not like Ling Yun can't afford it.
People always have to leave in the end, so why offend Ling Yun for nothing?
Offending Ling Yun is tantamount to offending the oldest and most powerful and wealthy family in England. Let alone De Bruyne, even Lampard or Terry are not worth it.
Although Abu has not stated his position yet, Ling Yun is sure that he is not far from achieving his goal.
He accompanied the opponent to watch half the game. Chelsea relied on Torres' goal to equalize the score at the last moment. Abramovich laughed and applauded, and turned to look at Ling Yun: "You have to discuss the specific transfer matters with our Mary Miss Na to talk."
Ling Yun nodded and stood up: "That's natural."
During the intermission, Ling Yun returned to his box, feeling very relieved because he had solved a major matter in his heart.
Although he doesn't really have to buy De Bruyne, after all, that kid stayed at Arsenal for half a season and won two championships with them. It is rumored that he is Arsenal's koi. Ling Yun can't see it. My child was wronged outside, so he had to take it home and pamper him well.
Besides, De Bruyne is not without talent, he just doesn't adapt to Chelsea's style of play.
Nick was a little bit aggrieved for Ling Yun: "Exchanging Alonso for De Bruyne, they are ashamed to ask for such a request."
"It's not a normal thing to trade players with players. People can't say anything, and it's not like they don't add money."
Nick was still a little unconvinced: "In such a cold day, you politely sat outside and watched half the game with him, and he still put on the airs of the boss."
Ling Yun rolled his eyes at him, wondering why he was angry: "He is a senior after all, of course I have to give him enough respect. We just need to achieve our goal, no matter what method we use."
If we talk about the first half, Mourinho tried to defend well while counterattacking. After equalizing the score, they completely set up the bus in the second half.
He is a world-class coach with rich experience and good insight into the situation on the field. Knowing that Chelsea's current lineup can't fight against Arsenal, he can only defend well and seek opportunities to counterattack.
Eleven of them piled up in the penalty area at every turn. With such a dense defense, it was difficult for Arsenal to find a good chance to score.
In the end, the two sides drew 1-1 and ushered in a two-round winless league.
You don't need to look at Ling Yun to know that there are two games without a win, and the Internet is full of blood and rain. How many people who know the game can't help giving a long speech, analyzing this and that, pointing out a lot of shortcomings of the team, but they often win. When the ball is played, they disappear.
After the game, Alonso had just answered questions from several reporters in the mixed interview area, and when he walked in, he held Mourinho who was going to the press hall to attend the post-match press conference.
Mourinho put his arms around his shoulders and chatted with him affectionately for a while. Between the lines were the happy times they had trained and played together in Madrid, and they praised Alonso as the best player he has ever worked with. A midfielder, I hope to work with him again.
Alonso is naturally very grateful for Mourinho's appreciation, but he told the other party directly: "No matter what, I will not leave Arsenal in my future career. I will retire here and hope to stay here after retirement." Keep working for the club."
"..." Mourinho didn't expect him to talk about this. They have spent three seasons together in Real Madrid. It can be said that they know each other very well. He never thought that Alonso would say Say something like this.
"Is it because of Wenger?"
Alonso shook his head, then nodded again: "Part of the reason."
Mourinho pressed: "What about the other part?"
"Because of my boss."
"..."
The conversation between the two was photographed by a reporter not far away, and the video was quickly circulated on the Internet.
There were already too many people in the player tunnel, and the distance was too far. In the video, I couldn’t hear what the two people were talking about. I just heard Alonso say that he was going to retire at Arsenal and hoped to stay in Arsenal after retirement. Work in a club.
Based on this sentence, the Spaniard once again became the focus of people's heated discussions after this game.
He grew up in Real Sociedad, spent five years in Liverpool, three years in Real Madrid, and only a year and a half after coming to Arsenal. Why did he have such a desperate idea?It's just unbelievable.
When Ling Yun saw this video, the person concerned was preparing dinner in the kitchen. Seeing everyone's puzzled questions, he really wanted to take a video of that busy figure and put it on the Internet to answer everyone's doubts.
Of course, he couldn't do that, but the urge to show affection in front of everyone was getting stronger and stronger.
During the Christmas period, the schedule of the Premier League teams is very intensive. There is almost one game in three days, and the team will not be a little easier until after New Year's Day.
Therefore, the Arsenal Club put the annual Christmas event after the New Year.
The morning before Christmas Eve, Ling Yun was washing in the bathroom when Alonso suddenly walked over and leaned against the door to look at him: "Are you free tonight?"
Ling Yun thought for a while: "I'm free tonight, but I have to go home tomorrow night."
"Then, let's have a meal together."
Ling Yun was stunned and turned to look at him: "Let's have dinner together at least three nights a week."
Alonso smiled at him: "Tonight is different."
Ling Yun washed the foam off his face with water, "What's the difference?"
"My parents are coming to London today and they want to meet you."
The movements in Ling Yun's hands froze, and he raised his head suddenly. Water drops flowed down his full forehead and into his eyes, which made him a little uncomfortable. He was about to rub his hands, but was gently held by another person's hand. live.
"Why do they want to see me?"
A soft dry towel wiped off the water droplets on the eyes carefully, Ling Yun opened his eyes, just in time to see the wrinkles in the corners of his boyfriend's eyes when he smiled.
"Because I told them I'm starting a new relationship with someone, I love him so much and we're living together."
"..."
Ling Yun supported the edge of the sink with one hand, clenched the other hand into a fist, released it again, and then clenched it together several times, as if he had had a fierce struggle in his heart, and finally made up his mind Something like: "I have to get presents first, do they have any special preferences? Or, what do they want your other half to look like?"
Alonso took his clenched hand, loosened his fingers little by little, and interlocked with his index finger: "They will like whatever you are, as long as I like it."
Ling Yun frowned: "It's a bit sudden, I'm not ready yet."
"It's just a meal, you can think of it as a very ordinary family gathering." Alonso gently kissed the corner of his lips, coaxing him softly, "My parents are very kind people. Dinner is sure to make you feel relaxed and happy."
That's what I said, but after all, I was meeting the parents. Boss Xiaoling had been in love so many times, but he had never met the other's parents. This was the first time, so he was inevitably a little nervous.
For this reason, he deliberately set aside two hours in the afternoon to prepare gifts, a unique necklace and a commemorative model of the UEFA Champions League trophy in scale.
As Alonso said, his parents are indeed very kind and friendly people, and they liked the gifts he gave them very much. They even brought him a special gift—a Christmas tree made of ceramics. There are also two small figures in Basque costumes for decoration.
The gift was not small, and the ceramics were fragile, and it was not convenient to carry and transport. The other party could bring it all the way from Spain to give it to him. Ling Yun was very moved by this kindness alone.
After a meal, the couple have always maintained enthusiasm and friendship with Ling Yun. The old Alonso would chat with him about football and Arsenal in the era when he played football, and Mrs. Alonso would pull him to talk about some things. Funny stories from Alonso's childhood.
Until the two elders were sent back to the hotel, they hugged and bid farewell. They never mentioned Ling Yun's identity, family and gender. he.
The next day was Christmas Eve, and Ling Yun had to go home for two days. He didn't appear in the stands of the Emirates Stadium until the night of the match against Manchester City on the 26th.
Although there is a gap of 8 points between the two teams in the standings, the direct dialogue between the first and second places is enough to attract the attention of hundreds of millions of fans and media around the world.
And the process and result of this game did not disappoint the fans-a passionate goal battle, the two sides scored a total of 12 goals, and finally the battle was tied 6-6.
In this game, Lewandowski completed his first hat-trick in the Premier League, leading the scorer list with 18 goals in 19 rounds.
Although it was just a draw, the game was exciting enough, and the players from both sides also showed their highest level, which can be called a peak match.
And this game has also become the highest-rated game in the Premier League in recent years, attracting about 400 million local people to watch.
It can really be called a game that the FA, the broadcasting company, the clubs, coaches, players and fans of both sides are very satisfied with. It has ratings and is more topical, and these are very important to the FA, Arsenal and Manchester City. In the end, it can be turned into real money and become part of the income.
After New Year's Day, Arsenal held their annual member event day. Like last year, the club arranged for some first-team players to have a series of interactive activities with fans at the Emirates Stadium in the morning. They could get in close contact with their favorite players. Many Arsenal Nathan fans began to sign up in November last year, and after more than a month of official screening, finally 11 lucky little fans were able to participate.
The afternoon is to attend the sponsor's activities, and then prepare for the charity dinner in the evening.
As usual, the Arsenal Charity Foundation invited celebrities from all walks of life to participate in the charity auction, and all funds raised will be donated to UNICEF.
A popular female singer came to the dinner as a guest performer, and the red carpet session received a lot of attention. Many of her fans held posters and name tags outside the venue to support her.
Ling Yun only glanced at it from afar, then frowned and asked Nick next to him: "Why do I think this person looks familiar?"
"Think about it again."
"..." If you think about it, don't you remember it?Another ex-girlfriend.
Ling Yun asked sharply: "There are so many female singers in England, why did you invite her?"
Nick looked around and defended, "Someone else was invited too."
"How does the PR department work?"
Nick shrugged helplessly: "The list was sent to you, and you said it was all right."
Ling Yun was so busy all day long that he didn't have time to read a list of performers.
He recalled a little bit. For him, any ex-girlfriend is a very distant memory, and they didn't get along for a long time. They also broke up peacefully at the beginning, and there was nothing unclear about it.
There shouldn't be anything unexpected happening... right?
Until entering the venue, Ling Yun was a little cautious, carefully avoiding the embarrassing scene of meeting the other party, until the evening auction officially started.
The guests and players were seated separately, Ling Yun and Wenger sat together, next to their chairman Hill Wood, and a group of Arsenal board members.
Because last year's charity auction was very successful, those auction items about interacting with Wenger and the players, such as having dinner alone with Wenger, playing a round of golf with Ramsey, taking a group photo with the team's family at the beginning of the season, visiting Cole It was especially welcomed by the guests on site to experience a day's training life at the Nigerian training base.
Since everyone likes it, it will do it again this year, and the PR department has also boldly added a new auction-you can enter the Arsenal CEO's office at Colney training ground to work with him for two hours.
Ling Yun: "!!!"
When they heard the news, fans went crazy online: "Tell me how I can go to this charity dinner, I'm going to work with my god!"
"Arsenal's event planning is really good. After the auction of the coaches and players, even the owner can't escape the fate of being pulled out of business."
"Why Alonso just donated a watch, I want to have dinner with him!"
"..."
The auction that went to Ling Yun's office to work with him attracted numerous bids from guests, and the voices of bids on the spot kept coming and going. Ling Yun noticed that several players also participated in it.
Especially Pogba and Wilshere, it was no big deal to watch the excitement, and they kept booing.Ling Yun turned around and stared at them several times, but in order to create an atmosphere, the lights were only concentrated on the stage, and the light below was very dim, and it was impossible to see anything from such a long distance.
In the end, a lady won the bid with a price of 5 pounds. She will be notified by Arsenal Club in the second half of this season, and she will go to the Kearney training base to complete the work with Ling Yun for two hours.
After the price came out, everyone was stunned. You must know that the 3 pounds auctioned at the dinner with Wenger just now has caused heated discussions on the Internet. Ling Yun's price of 5 pounds has even attracted widespread attention heated discussion.
"It's terrible, people work with salaries, and they have to pay them more than 5 pounds for two hours at Arsenal!"
"This is a charity auction. Boss Xiaoling didn't take the money. Isn't it donated to charity?"
"That's right, besides, if you have the money to shoot this, is it really because you want to work at Kearney? Don't you want to get in touch with Boss Xiao Ling?"
"..."
What they said was not what Ling Yun was worried about. What Ling Yun was worried about was who the lady who took pictures of this event was, maybe it was his ex-girlfriend who was the gangster.
Following the eyes of everyone, he turned his head to take a look, and found that it was just a little girl he didn't know.
It seems that he is being sentimental. His ex-girlfriend may be more chic than him, and he did not connect the students who were still studying at school with the current Arsenal boss.
When he turned to look at the girl, someone sitting at another table was also looking at him leisurely.
When the light hit the face of the winning girl, Alonso also turned his head to take a look.It was a little girl with blond curly hair and big eyes. She looked about 20 years old. She had a very sweet smile and a pair of dimples on her slightly sensual face.
The gentleness and care of a mature and handsome man are like water, moistening things and silently sneaking into every corner of Ling Yun's life, and he has a clear understanding of his preferences and habits.
Although Ling Yun never mentioned his ex-girlfriends or the types of girls he liked, it was not difficult for Alonso to guess from his eyes and the expression on his face when he usually watched movies.
Those sexy stunners with bulging breasts and fat buttocks who are favored by most players have never been as good as boss Xiaoling. He likes fairies, just like Audrey Hepburn, an angel who has fallen into the mortal world.
This is not difficult to see from the appearance and temperament of the rumored object in the newspaper.
At this time, the first phase of the auction of Arsenal's internal players and staff had come to an end, and a song and dance performance began on the stage. The last one to appear was a female singer who had recently become famous.
She is very beautiful, has a sexy figure, and sings well. Many young players below have their eyes straight.
The female singer did not step off the stage after the performance, but stood aside and waited for the host to come to her side—it turned out that she also contributed her own strength to tonight's charity auction.
The girl took out a brooch, which was a delicate and unique bow, made of metal, and the eyes were dotted with gemstones, which seemed to have a sense of agility.
The large screen shows the details of this brooch from various angles. Although the brand cannot be seen, it is not difficult to find that this is definitely not a craftsmanship that can be made by mass-produced luxury brands.
Ling Yun's expression changed when he saw the brooch, and his intuition told him that what awaited him next would be a large-scale Shura field with a new look, and he even wanted to find a chance to slip away.
The host asked the female singer to introduce the donated personal collection, and the latter began to tell the story vividly: "The initial stage of my singing career was not smooth, and every time I encountered trouble, I would go to a coffee shop near the school. There is a very handsome waiter in this coffee shop, every time I go to him, he will make me a cup of coffee and send me favorite desserts.”
The supporter asked cooperatively: "It sounds like a romantic story, but what happened afterwards?"
Ling Yun was sitting on pins and needles under the stage, especially when he felt that there seemed to be a frost-like gaze falling on his back from behind, which made him feel a chill down his back, but he had to sit there calmly, acting like everyone else, Listen to the story with a curious and inquiring look.
"As you can imagine, we started dating. He gave me this brooch on Valentine's Day. From then on, my career gradually improved. Later, I left school and began to participate in various performances. It's been a long time. Then, when I came back to that coffee shop, he wasn't there anymore."
The host said: "It sounds like a sad story, but this gift is also very meaningful."
The female singer started to make big moves: "Yes, actually, he is here today."
"!!!"
A group of people below followed suit and kept asking who this person was.
The female singer looked in Ling Yun's direction frequently. Although the light was very dark, she still met that cold and sharp gaze.
Who would have thought that the wage earner in the coffee shop in those days turned out to be the owner of the Arsenal club. After a little brainstorming, he knew that this must not be an inspirational story about a poor boy who started from scratch. He got close to the super rich second generation but didn't notice it.
However, it is too late to say anything now.She also didn't want everyone to watch the gossip about the Arsenal boss on such an occasion, she just wanted to bring back a certain memory of that person.
So, the name that was already on her lips was swallowed back, and she just smiled and said: "This breast is very important to me. It has inspired me in the face of countless setbacks. Today I donate it. Hopefully it will inspire those children who are suffering in the midst of war."
It was so good that the audience immediately burst into thunderous applause.
Without further ado, let's start the auction.
The female singer is already very popular, and with the lingering story just now, she sublimated the theme at the end, and there are countless men bidding below.
But the owner of the brooch never heard the voice she was expecting. Ling Yun sat there indifferently until a calm but indifferent voice came from behind and called out a price that stunned everyone.
All the eyes of the audience were attracted by this clear male voice. Although Harvey Alonso is a Spaniard, he looks like a real British gentleman. Every strand of hair and beard reveals elegance and exquisite.
Even if Ling Yun didn't turn his head, he could still guess the expression on Alonso's face at this moment. In fact, there would not be any overly intense emotions. Every move was just right, maybe with a little smile, except for him , no one can see the jealousy behind that little smile.
It may be more than a little. In short, Boss Xiaoling is a little panicked.
When Alonso shouted, he raised the price by a large amount for no reason. Everyone can feel the determination to win. The people who don't know the truth think that the Arsenal midfielder is doing something to other female singers. Unreasonable thinking, everyone is willing to be beautiful, and no one will bid with him.
In the end, Alonso paid a ridiculously high price for the brooch.
The price doesn't matter, more or less it's not all for charity in the end, it's just that thing, he is really interested.
The female singer stepped down from the stage and looked towards him from time to time. Ling Yun didn't even look at him out of the corner of her eye. She suddenly stood up and walked backstage.
At the end of this charity dinner, he has to give a speech, and now he needs to go backstage to prepare.
A group of people flocked him to the dressing room, and immediately a stylist came over to give him a haircut. Ling Yun didn't want to offend anyone, but now his face is hard to calm down.
Nick was probably the only person in the audience who understood the ins and outs, so he was more frightened than anyone else. Standing there, he regarded himself as a quail. He was usually smooth-talking, but at critical times, he wished to treat himself as a transparent person. Ling Yun couldn't see him. That's good.
"I'm going to the bathroom." Ling Yun's tone and demeanor returned to calm when he spoke, and he walked out of the busy crowd around him, walked straight out of the door of the dressing room, and walked towards the door at the end of the corridor. bathroom.
As soon as Ling Yun stepped in with one foot, someone pushed him from behind.Ling Yun subconsciously turned her head, and before she could see the other person's face clearly, she was pushed to the side of the sink.
"..."
Ling Yun glanced in the mirror, there was no surprise on his face, they were too familiar with each other's aura, he already knew who it was when the other party approached him from behind.
