Volume 4: The World of Great Conflict Chapter 0407 The Sunset is Drunk
"Nothing, I just suddenly got used to having you around me. I feel a little empty inside when I can't see you for a while."
Catherine smiled sarcastically, "Adam, how do you say hypocritical in Chinese?"
"I like you. If you want to emphasize, you can say I love you." Nan Yi said seriously.
"For the sake of money, I have tried my best to lower my IQ, but please don't go too far. When you speak, your facial expression should be a little more cooperative, so that I can't see through it at a glance."
"Ha, okay, I'll talk normally." Nan Yi spread his hands and said, "My purpose of coming here is very simple. I just want to try to create some feelings between us, to make our transaction less naked, and to add some other colors. This way, you should be happier."
"Thank you, Adam. I don't see any romance in you. I think it's hard for me to like you."
"Then you can try to look at me from a different perspective. I lack romance, but I am pragmatic and can give you enough sense of security. I can't give you much love, but I can provide you with a variety of flavors of bread for you to choose from."
"I believe it."
"That's enough. The foundation of love between us has been built. The rest can be done slowly. After getting along for a long time, you will accept my strengths and tolerate my weaknesses. The same goes for me. I can't give you too much in love, but I will take good care of you and won't let you worry about material things."
It is impossible for Nan Yi to maintain a simple cooperative relationship with Catherine without tying her to the Nan family's chariot. The interests of both parties are aligned. Betraying him is equivalent to betraying herself. How can he feel at ease?
"Thank you." Catherine said calmly with a hint of throbbing. "Adam, I appreciate your honesty."
"My lies are reserved for outsiders."
Nan Yi's implication was that he already regarded Catherine as his own.
Catherine moved her hips to make room for half of the swing chair, "Sit down."
"Thanks."
Nan Yi sat down next to Catherine very naturally, leaving no space between them enough for a piece of white paper.
Catherine just kept her eyes and eyebrows raised, and did not move.
"Are you interested in being the president of a club?"
"Football club?"
"Yes."
"Which club?"
"It should be Manchester United. I am asking people to collect information about Manchester United. If there is a possibility of acquisition, we will acquire it."
"Why not Liverpool? I am a Liverpool fan, and so is my dad. When I was a kid, he would take me to watch Liverpool games in London, and sometimes he would take me to see Liverpool. Besides, Liverpool has a good record."
"Is the record good?"
How could Nan Yi, a fake fan, know the history of a team? Recently, he has become more familiar with Manchester United, and that is because he read the collected information about Manchester United.
"It's not good, it's very good, Liverpool's record has been good since Bill Shankly was appointed as manager in 1959.
In the 1963-64 season, they lifted the A-League championship trophy again.
In 1965, Liverpool won the FA Cup for the first time and won the league title for the seventh time in the 1965-66 season.
In the 1972-73 season, Liverpool won the league title and the UEFA Cup, and won the FA Cup a year later.
After this, Shankly retired and was replaced by former assistant coach Paisley.
Paisley was more successful as a head coach than Shankly. In his second season as head coach, the 1975-76 season, he led the team to win the league title and the UEFA Cup.
The following season, they won the league title again and lifted the European Cup trophy for the first time, but unfortunately, they lost in the FA Cup final and missed the opportunity to win the treble.
In the 1977-78 season, Liverpool won the European Cup again and in the following season broke the English record, winning the league title with 68 points and conceding only 16 goals in 42 games..."
It seems that Catherine is really a die-hard Liverpool fan and knows a lot about Liverpool . However, Nan Yi's impression of the name Liverpool is not as deep as that of Manchester United and Arsenal, and it is likely that they will not do well in the future.
"Really? Then I'll have someone collect some information about Liverpool and compare it with Manchester United. I'll buy whichever one is more suitable."
"Adam, you don't seem to know much about football. Why do you want to buy the club?" Catherine asked in surprise.
"I bought it for you. You are a count, so you should have some good horses and a sports team. You can invite your guests to go riding and take a helicopter to Manchester to watch the games."
"Just for me?"
Catherine's eyelashes fluttered.
"The main reason is for you. Of course, I won't hide it from you, there are other reasons . My secretary, whom you have met, is Ueto Masami. She is optimistic about the development of the sports field and thinks that football clubs are a good investment. In the future, they may be able to enter the field of sports brands."
"I see. I can try."
Catherine is not the type of lady who stays in seclusion. She prefers to show up in public and is happy to be the focus of attention.
This is also a common character trait of Western aristocratic women and socialites. They prefer to socialize outside rather than hide in their own rooms and feel sad and self-pitying.
Of course, most of them are not as weird as the sisters who run the hotel. Socializing is socializing and it will not turn into promiscuity. They still have to consider the reputation of their family.
"Adam, in the investigation report you saw about me, was there any content about aristocratic gatherings?" Catherine suddenly asked.
"It seems so. I didn't look closely. Tell me more about it."
"Every year, we nobles living in the London area hold a gathering. In name, it is to deepen the relationship between us, the only nobles left, and to keep each other warm. But in reality, it is more like a competition of wealth.
First of all, there is no clear rule on where to hold the party. It is all proposed by the family themselves. For example, this year the party will be held in the Cardiff family's castle. For this party, the Cardiff family will spend at least one million pounds.
Whether it is the decoration of the venue, or the food and drinks, the standards must be very high. If they are not up to standard, they will be ridiculed by others. "
"As far as I know, many nobles are weak inside and cannot afford millions of pounds. So, now these gatherings are concentrated in those families that are still doing well?"
"Yes, it is concentrated in three or four families. The last time the Bolin family held a gathering was 25 years ago. They have held two consecutive gatherings, which has exhausted the Bolin family's resources."
There was a hint of regret in Catherine's voice.
"You want to host it?"
"No, I don't want the vanity of hosting a party. It costs too much and gets too little. But I can't not go. Last year, I bought myself an expensive outfit for the party, but I still looked shabby at the party.
If I go to participate again this year, I cannot wear the jewelry I wore last year, otherwise, other nobles will look down on me."
"Got it. How long until the party?"
"About half a month."
"Time is a bit tight, but it's enough. Don't worry, I will take care of your jewelry. I will definitely make you the focus of the whole audience." Nan Yi patted Catherine's hand and said.
"Do you think I'm vain?"
"No." Nan Yi shook his head and said, "I can understand the potential meaning of this kind of gathering. It's more of a test than a competition of wealth. If other nobles knew that the Bolin family was in trouble, they would rush over and divide up the remaining wealth of the Bolin family. Am I right?"
"Yes, the nobles, although they look glamorous on the outside, are actually vultures on the inside, relying on cannibalizing other weak nobles to survive. This year, two groups of people have come to test me and proposed to buy Boleyn Castle, and the price they offered was very high."
"Once you agree to sell, they will know that the Boleyn family is no longer viable. They will not pay a high price to buy it, but will take your life while you are still sick."
"Yes." Katherine nodded. "Adam, I'm tired."
Nan Yi's hand left the back of Catherine's hand and instead held her shoulders. With a little force, he let Catherine's head rest on his shoulder. He patted her arm gently and said in a gentle tone: "I will be with you from now on."
Face, a very strange thing.
For the sake of face, a man can tolerate his significant other's cheating; for the sake of face, a woman can tolerate her significant other's beatings and kicks ; for the sake of face, Catherine can hold on hard.
Catherine leaned on Nan Yi's shoulder, closed her eyes peacefully, and felt the warmth from Nan Yi's body. The blazing fire emanating from Nan Yi's black heart made her feel very warm.
The two of them just sat like that, the distance so close that the sunlight became shy, the orange sunset and the setting sun were intoxicating.
When Catherine started snoring softly, Nan Yi carried her into the castle and her bedroom, covered her with a quilt, and instead of following the scumbag's example and lying down on the bed, he turned around and left.
Going downstairs, Nan Yi walked to Christine's side.
"Boss, someone was spying from a distance just now. It was a yellow man."
"I know. There is more."
"Two groups of people came to spy a few days ago. They were all white. Boss, you should change the car. This batch of cars has fallen into the eyes of someone with ulterior motives."
"Um."
Nan Yi nodded and walked away.
The two groups of white people should be other nobles in London. As Boleyn Castle is undergoing a major renovation, they must have come to take a look. The group of yellow people must be the ones sent by Wu Jingyuan to investigate the background of "Song Zihao" without any accident.
As soon as they got into the car, Nan Yi called and asked the Rich Flower Team to come to London. Liu Zhen had been staying in Beijing for a long time, and the Rich Flower Team had been on standby, so he asked them to come over and do some activities.
After hanging up the phone, Nan Yi said to the school beauty: "Keep these cars, rent a few more, and find a parking lot in the city as backup."
"clear."
