"Hey--"

Arthur stood in front of the coffee table in the living room of the master suite, shook his head and sighed with a wry smile, looking at the message on the sticky note in his hand, feeling very complicated.

"Let's stay apart for a while, and consider each one carefully. Because if this continues, I don't know how long it will last."

Emilia chose to leave, and didn't even say goodbye to herself in person. When he saw the message, he took out the phone and wanted to contact her, but all refused to answer. There was no way, he could only call his cheap The younger sister asked her to contact Emilia.

After listening to Arthur's explanation on the phone, Eddie left a sentence of ‘you are such a bastard’ and then hung up the phone, but this also made Arthur a little relieved.

Seriously, he couldn't think of Emilia's reaction so intense.

However, it was not a formal breakup after all. After a while, she might be able to figure it out and get out of the entanglement.

Unexpectedly, his own success has brought tremendous pressure to the other party.

Regarding Emilia’s choice, Arthur didn’t get too entangled. It’s not that he was unkind and ruthless, but because in his opinion, things weren’t that serious, so it’s fine when she is relieved. .

What's more, how can you stay for whomever the world travels?

Looking at the note in his hand, he was relieved for no reason. Arthur laughed mockingly, folded the note, took out the wallet from his pocket, and put it in the wallet.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Arthur, accompanied by the club’s two directors, arrived at Lancaster Gate 12 in West London, where the famous FA is located.

As one of the oldest football organizations in the world, its office is old and obsolete. The building is a world of maze-like corridors and dull meeting rooms.

The Football Association was originally established to unify the rules of football, and naturally it continues to maintain the final decision right to modify the rules during the development of English football.

However, modern football has formed a relatively uniform global competition standard. The British traditional concept is "don't fix things if they don't break." Therefore, the FA power of the FA is basically a sword used for town houses. Occasionally use it once, and often make some dumb jokes.

As for the review of various football matches in England, the power to dispatch and manage referees for all England leagues, and to exercise discipline and restraint on those involved in football activities is a very much criticized function.

Therefore, the above two responsibilities of the FA are basically the relationship of "I have two news, one is bad news and the other is bad news" for the majority of fans.

What is even more criticized is that the members of the FA's board of directors are all football laymen. So there are often fans calling, hey, you guys hurry up and die.

Of course, the FA will definitely not do things like going to death. So, in order to change the fans' daily routine of eating and sleeping.

Therefore, the Football Association has absorbed talents from all walks of life to make up for its innate shortcomings in professionalism, set up several committees and associations, and built a complex organizational structure to coordinate and manage all aspects of English football.

In addition, seven subsidiaries have been established to regulate the operating system of professional football in England. And the relationship between the seven companies is equivalent to seven gourd children, each with its own skills, after the combination is the FA brand gourd King Kong.

This time, it was the FA Deputy Director xi David Gill who came out to receive Arthur. The meeting place was also in David Gill’s office. The atmosphere was not as serious and formal as expected. Instead, David Gill smiled when they met. Explain that Arthur made too much movement, and the FA was forced to go through a cutscene.

No way. In the past, the Football Association of England only needed to correspond to a small group of relatively well-known newspapers and media reporters. When the relationship is good, it is close, and when it is bad, it is at best just like a guest.

However, the media ecology and news demand have changed after entering the new century. In addition to the old team football media, there are now more dirty businessmen operating gossip tabloids, many newly established sports and news channels, and news paparazzi sent out 24 hours a day. , The continued expansion of overseas media groups, and the occasional reports on the business and finance page, the FA is facing strong pressure from public opinion and has to pay attention.

"... As our Premier League becomes more and more successful, and while our influence in the world is growing, we cannot ignore some discordant and embarrassing behaviors, which have been quietly in the past two years. Back in the game.

Almost every good club has thousands of excellent supporters, but those embarrassing behaviors have become increasingly serious problems, and we must find ways to solve them. We all have a responsibility to represent this country in the right way, which is exactly what we strive to emphasize.

As we all know, many discordant behaviors are caused by drinking on match day and Yu's attitude.

We in the Football Association have always hoped that people can look at themselves and start thinking, if my relatives, wife or children are here, will this be a pleasant experience?

The answer is definitely no. What do you think, sir? "

Although it was a formality, the words of the David Gill in front of him were tactful but concealed. They not only expressed the FA’s busy attitude towards football, but also did not forget to use a top hat to hold Arthur and let him. Make a statement.

Arthur smiled and nodded, secretly complaining. It seems that the FA is not completely at ease with him. Perhaps he is really worried that his own football club owner, who has a busy background, will say or do something to encourage those embarrassing behaviors. Come on.

"In this regard, I fully agree with the FA's point of view. Drinking on match days and the attitude of YU at will, it is indeed easy to breed a lot of incidents, especially young people my age, often uncivilized and Irrational behavior.

As a member of British football, we in Southampton very much hope that all fans can be civilized and sensible, and do not do condemning things to discredit the team. At the same time, we also hope that the football fans who punish the troubled fans can also be irrational The fans sounded a wake-up call. "

After listening to Arthur’s words, although David Gill felt a strange taste, now that he got the answer he wanted, he no longer struggled with this question. After all, he also believed that the young man in front of him was rich and calm. The elegant earl may have made mistakes because of his youth and frivolousness in the past, but now he will never do anything that would discredit his image.

Unless Arthur is really a muscular duo, but David Gill doesn't think Arthur is a dude.

After the matter was settled, the conversation became more relaxed. Arthur could feel that David Gill was more friendly to him, with a clear intention to make friends. Naturally, Arthur was not the kind of arrogant dumbass. Getting to know each other and establishing a good relationship with each other is the beginning of his own network in football.

Finally, they exchanged opinions and thoughts on the youth training. After that, the two attended several specially prepared interviews with media, and revealed to the outside world the process and content of the FA interview with Arthur. The reputation of'urging fans to control their own behavior: football hooligans is shameful' can be regarded as a successful end to the controversy that has been raging outside.

Walking out of the FA office building, ignoring the media reporters who followed him and continued to entangle around him, under the **** of three bodyguards, he walked quickly to the Rolls Royce on the side of the road and got into the car and drove away. .

However, perhaps because he has been so hot recently and the topic is constant, the reporters do not intend to let him go.

"Boss, we have been followed, and there are still three cars. It should be the reporters." The bodyguard captain Bell, who was sitting in the co-pilot, turned back to report to Arthur.

Arthur frowned slightly, then groaned and said, "Don't go to the Financial City, just go back to the hotel."

"Good boss."

Arthur knew that since his whereabouts were exposed, he no longer had to think about free activities. As the hottest topic person, the paparazzi would find ways to get news and photos about him.

Even if there are only photos, the British tabloids who are good at creating dog-blood news will make up some pictures to satisfy the curiosity of the people who eat melons. After all, he is a young, rich, high-profile and controversial aristocratic earl in the UK. But it's too rare.

Back at the Four Seasons Hotel, it was almost five o'clock. He took out his mobile phone and called Eddie, wanting to find out about Emilia, but refused to answer her, which made Arthur shook his head helplessly.

Having nothing to do for the time being, he had to take out his laptop, sort out his thoughts, and start codewords.

It wasn't until around six o'clock that Arthur received a call from the front desk of the hotel and learned that Eddie had arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel.

When seeing Eddie, Arthur looked at her gloomy expression and couldn't help but frown and asked, "Why are you here, where's Emilia?"

"She went back to her parents' house, what's the matter with you? Those reports in the newspaper won't be true, are you really getting involved with that Ji Li Hazel?" Eddie Xiu frowned~www .lightnovelpub.net~ He stared sharply at Arthur, and asked in a cold voice.

How could Arthur show his timidity, frowning slightly, and said in annoyance: "How could it be, I explained it before, it's just a commercial hype, who would have thought that Emilia would care so much..."

Eddie tilted his head, staring at Arthur with a pair of eyes, hoping to find something from Arthur’s face. After examining it for a while, he finally shook his head and said: "Maybe you are hiding well enough, but the newspaper After I saw those photos, I couldn't believe that there was no relationship between you and that Ji Li, let alone Emilia.

The eyes and expressions can't deceive people, you may be able to hide it very well, the ninth miracle is not hidden, a woman's intuition is very accurate! "

Eddie sneered at his cheap brother, then shook his head and continued helplessly: "Emilia has already decided to go to the United States, and will leave for these two days, so I told her not to be with you from the beginning. Just don't listen, you bastard, why do you always want to attack my friends?"

"What do you mean?" Arthur asked with an ugly frown.

"Haha, pretend to be stupid! From middle school to high school, I have lost three friends because of you, and now Emilia is probably the fourth one. You are a jerk!" Eddie gritted his teeth and cursed, angrily Turn around and leave.

Arthur was left standing there, the corners of his lips kept twitching. . . . . .
