Volume 1: Playing football with me will break your legs Chapter 67 Your Wife is So Beautiful
Who says Europeans and Americans are not worldly-wise?
As the Christmas holiday was approaching, Adrey very considerately reduced the training tasks, requiring only two hours of training in the morning, and the rest of the time was free to use.
After all, to the Western world, Christmas is as important as the Spring Festival in East Asia.
The support for this humane head coach in the locker room immediately skyrocketed!
Of course, this is also because the team's performance this season is too good. Not only is it far ahead in the league standings, it has also recently won 12 consecutive games in all competitions. Since the club has no money to give everyone extra bonuses, it can at least give everyone half a day off as an encouragement!
On the afternoon of December 24, Li Polo packed up his things early and followed Lisana to the luxurious villa in the Wimbledon leisure resort.
After getting off the car, Li Polo looked around. It seemed that there was only this villa within a two-kilometer radius. There were slightly dry lawns everywhere . There was an empty swimming pool not far away. A little further away, there seemed to be a lawn for playing golf.
After all, he is the boss of a bank. The market price of this three-story villa is conservatively estimated to require Li Polo to save money and play football for at least 30 years to save enough for the down payment...
Of course, this is based on a weekly salary of one thousand.
Li Polo stayed outside the door for only three seconds before walking in carrying two large bags of gifts.
"Woohoo, look who's here, the big star of our Kuang Gang!"
The first person to greet him was Mike Taylor, the vice president of the Mad Gang Fans Association, who roared exaggeratedly and then ran over to give him a warm hug.
Lisanna was not polite to her eldest brother:
"Why don't you help carry some of the stuff, Mike!"
Mike laughed and shared a bag of gifts with him.
Following his girlfriend's advice, Li Polo didn't have to spend as much time as he expected choosing a gift.
According to Lisanna, unless Libolo could sell all his belongings, the precious gifts he bought... would definitely not be acceptable to his parents.
Instead of wasting the money, you might as well keep it and buy some delicious food for your date.
Even she was turning her elbow outward, so Li Polo immediately followed suit. Apart from two bottles of red wine that were a little bit high-end, the other things were nothing more than Coke, Sprite and a mess of Christmas candies. He also bought a can of domestic black tea in Chinatown. The total cost was actually not as much as he and Lisanna rented two rooms in London...
Mike introduced his wife:
"Meet my wife, Jellian."
Although she is not as pretty as Lisanna, she is also a beautiful woman with good looks.
Li Polo put down the cola and tea in his hands, smiled and gave the other person a light kiss on the cheek:
"Merry Christmas, Jaelian."
He turned back and praised Mike:
"Dude, your wife is so beautiful."
A wife is a man’s greatest asset for showing off, and this is true throughout history, both in China and abroad.
Mike's face immediately flushed when he received the praise, and he pulled the guest to the living room.
Lisana had already sat on the sofa with her mother in her arms. The middle-aged man next to them coughed when he saw Li Polo approaching, then stood there and stretched out his right hand to him:
"Hello, Mr. Li?"
Li Polo walked over quickly with a smile on his face and held the old man's hand with both hands:
"Hello, Mr. Taylor, you can just call me Polo."
Taylor smiled and said:
"You can call me Bruce then."
Li Polo nodded:
"Ok, Bruce, it's a pleasure to be your guest..."
Lisanna interrupted his humble words:
"I invited you, not him."
Bruce laughed and pointed at Lisanna's mother:
"This is my wife, Lily."
Lili Taylor didn't stand up, but just greeted him across the coffee table:
"Hi, Polo, Lisanna really likes you."
Li Polo did not respond immediately, but turned to look at Bruce:
"Uh, is this really your lady?"
Bruce was stunned for a moment:
"Yes, Lisanna's mother."
Li Polo shrugged his shoulders and showed an exaggerated expression:
"Wow, I thought this was Lisanna's sister."
The group of people then started laughing.
Mike patted his back and pushed him into the sofa.
But he is not completely exaggerating. If you don't look closely, it is indeed difficult for him to tell a woman's age - no matter her country or race - with exquisite makeup.
What's more, Mrs. Lily is in such excellent condition, with fiery red lips, long wavy hair, and especially her figure is even more curvaceous than that of her 19-year-old daughter!
Lily was obviously much happier after hearing the flattery:
"I don't really like cooking, so I asked the chef at home to prepare dinner for today. I hope you don't mind."
Li Polo waved his hands quickly:
"Grateful."
Bruce opened a bottle of red wine himself and poured a glass for the guest:
"Your club has done really well this season!"
Li Polo's right hand, which was reaching for the goblet, suddenly stopped.
He originally thought that the Taylors would ask a few questions about his family situation, education level, and economic level, but he didn't expect that the first topic of their conversation would be football!
Bruce smiled slightly:
"We are a family, we are all crazy fans!"
Lily added with a smile:
"And Bruce's father and my father."
Even Mike's wife came over to chat:
“Our family are all fans of the Kuangbang.”
In this case, there was no need for Li Boluo to hide anything. He smiled confidently:
"This season, Wimbledon will definitely be able to successfully advance to League One."
Bruce raised his glass and gestured to him:
"Let's drink to advance!"
After a glass of wine, Bruce continued the previous topic:
"I have seldom been to live games in recent years, but I have always been paying attention to the team and the players. To be honest, I was attracted by your performance when you first played... As a defender, you scored as many goals as a forward, and even scored a hat trick in one game. This is rare!"
Li Polo was a little embarrassed by his praise:
"Haha, thank you. I'm just trying my best."
Bruce nodded slightly:
"Although we are all supporters of Wimbledon, I also know that even if the team is promoted to League One, that stage may be too small for you. Have you ever thought about which league and club you want to transfer to after leaving Wimbledon?"
This question immediately stumped Li Polo.
He thought for a few seconds, and finally shook his head slowly:
"Honestly speaking, this is only my first professional season and I have never thought about this issue..."
Bruce showed an expression of "not surprising" and said with a smile:
"Lisanna probably told you that I'm a financial entrepreneur, so I have a lot of friends in the industry, including a professional agent, Jonathan Barnett. You may not have heard of him, but you should have heard of some of his players, uh, like Gareth Bale."
This is more than just something I've heard of!
That was the top superstar who transferred to Real Madrid with the highest fee in football in the summer of 2013!
Li Polo's cheek muscles couldn't help but twitch:
"Indeed, he should be a top agent."
Bruce clapped his hands:
"Yes, he asked me about you when we were having tea some time ago, and I highly recommended you to him. So, are you interested in talking to him?"
Li Polo raised his eyebrows, somewhat confused:
"What?"
Bruce shrugged slightly:
"You are a professional player and he is an agent. What else can you talk about?"
Li Polo's throat trembled uncontrollably:
"To be honest, of course I am interested, but I am worried that an agent of his level will not spend too much energy on me."
Bruce smiled and nodded :
"That's totally understandable, so he also proposed a plan to me. You only sign a one-year contract. If he can't push you to a higher stage next summer, you have the right to fire him unilaterally, and before that, he won't get any commission from you. If you still have concerns, I can act as a middleman. What do you think of this condition?"
【How can there be such a good thing? 】
[Are all British people like Lei Feng? 】
Li Polo thought about his suggestion three times and could not find any reason to refuse.
You said you would come spend Christmas with me, but in just three sips of wine, you sold yourself to an agent you had never met?
