football is not round

Next time:
The day after Nuan Xiaoxi's mother parachuted into Shengcheng, she held a two-day PIP provincial city manager meeting.Nuan Xiaoxi did not attend because Shengcheng had an important promotional event, and the meeting was assisted by Li Benjia, the deputy general manager of the real estate company.

After Nuan Xiaoxi accompanied Liu Xinyang to participate in the promotion of real estate in Shengcheng area, the two of them lived the life that ordinary people should have together sweetly.Although it is simply shopping in the supermarket and cooking home-cooked meals, the two of them are so content.

On the second day of Nuan Xiaoxi's mother's meeting, Nuan Xiaoxi drove Liu Xinyang to Mengxi Stadium to watch the home game of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club.

"This box is so beautiful, who designed it? You designed it?" Liu Xinyang asked after entering the box, and then Liu Xinyang began to stroll around.

Afterwards, Nuan Xiaoxi watched TV and listened to the TV commentary on her own.Liu Xinyang, who didn't know much about football, ate barbecue with Nuan Xiaoxi's secretary, and chatted about women's topics, which further narrowed the relationship between himself and Nuan Xiaoxi's secretary, Hu.

Nuan Xiaoxi turned up the volume of the TV, and the familiar football commentary on the TV came out.

"Director Tong, what do you think of the recent transfer actions of the Hangzhou team?" the commentator asked Director Tong.

Nuan Xiaoxi who suddenly heard the words "Hangzhou Team" couldn't help thinking of Wu Yue, the general manager of the Hangzhou team. This name was both unfamiliar and familiar to Nuan Xiaoxi.

The scene of the two in Shengcheng and the scene of Didu quickly flashed in Nuan Xiaoxi's mind, lingering.Nuan Xiaoxi still doesn't understand why?
Nuan Xiaoxi squinted again, and it seemed that Liu Xinyang, who was talking and laughing, knew that she was nothing but sad.

"Then do you think there is hope for the Shengcheng team this season? This is the question most fans in our province want to ask." The commentator looked at Director Tong and asked.

"It's still early to see, I can only say that there is hope. After all..."

"Forget it," Nuan Xiaoxi came to a conclusion in her mind.Before finishing listening to the TV commentary, he turned off the TV, got up and left, and walked to the balcony with a melancholy expression on his face.

Nuan Xiaoxi looked at the densely packed stands of fans in Mengxi Stadium, a large area of ​​red.

Listening to the familiar cheering voice:
"Boom boom boom..." "Sheng... City" "Win!"

"Boom boom boom..." "Sheng... City" "Win!"

"Boom boom boom..." "Sheng... City" "Win!"

"Boom boom boom..." "Sheng... City" "Win!"

"Boom boom boom..." "Sheng... City" "Win!"

The flags of the club fluttered on the sidelines, and the ribbons fell neatly on the stands.

"It's really imposing." Liu Xinyang also walked to the balcony of the box at some point, and stayed by Nuan Xiaoxi's side.

"En." Nuan Xiaoxi leaned on the railing of the balcony, and glanced back at Liu Xinyang.

Liu Xinyang put her arms around Nuan Xiaoxi's arm, and clung to Nuan Xiaoxi tightly, "Are you worried that you won't be able to advance? Or won't you be able to win the FA Cup?"

"Hmm..." Nuan Xiaoxi didn't answer.

"Don't think about it, the game takes so long to end, are you depressed every day?" Liu Xinyang comforted.

But Nuan Xiaoxi remained expressionless and did not speak.

"Don't they all say that football is round? I think you must have a chance." Liu Xinyang said seriously.

"Football is not round." Nuan Xiaoxi replied affirmatively.

"Huh?" This time it was Liu Xinyang's turn to be speechless.

"Football is round. It was originally explained that a weak football team can play surprisingly strong and win a game." Nuan Xiaoxi patiently explained to Liu Xinyang, "And I said football is not round, because if you want to win in a long-term game, you must work hard every day and accumulate over time."

"Oh." Liu Xinyang nodded.

"So a game can have accidental results, but the championship of a series of games requires the efforts of our players and the team's logistical support to win, instead of relying on chance! Then, to put it bluntly, there are rules. There are rules, but they cannot be handled smoothly." Nuan Xiaoxi said while holding Liu Xinyang.

"Then you, do you believe that you will advance?"

"Of course I believe them. You have to know that almost [-] million has been invested in this season!"

"what?"

"Yeah, I'll be promoted next year, so I have to invest in it." Nuan Xiaoxi said helplessly.

"A lot, I want to play football too." Liu Xinyang said coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, okay." Nuan Xiaoxi touched Liu Xinyang's face, "Actually, there is too much homework owed before, and we are just laying the foundation. I guess according to the current operation, we should be able to make ends meet in a few years!"

"Huh? After a few years, still not making money?"

"It's difficult. One is the industry chain of fans. Domestic IP is not valued, so this is a big loss. In a broadcasting right, there is basically not much, and the advertising revenue is eaten by the TV station." Nuan Xiaoxi explained.

"Hey, no wonder no company is willing to take over the football team." Liu Xinyang also understood a little bit.

"You know all about this." Nuan Xiaoxi was a little surprised, looking at Liu Xinyang and asked.

"Didn't I also occasionally attend the dinner party? I just heard the talk among the bosses that if the government does not support football, it is simply not allowed to play." Liu Xinyang said solemnly.

"Well, this is true." After Nuan Xiaoxi replied, she turned her face and looked into the stadium.

At this time, the game has already started. The Shengcheng team at home completed an effective steal at the beginning of the game. Midfielder Li Tie took the ball and advanced.

"By the way, you won the FA Cup away game, and you will play the Super League Changchun team at home next time, do you think you are sure?" Liu Xinyang asked seriously.

"Yo, you still know a lot." After hearing this, Nuan Xiaoxi turned her face to look at Liu Xinyang and smiled.

"That's not true, at least I'm a serious fan."

"Just pull it down, I think you're just going to get some traffic, hahaha..." Nuan Xiaoxi laughed after finishing speaking.

"Cut, pull it down if you don't believe me."

"Then which celebrity do you like?" Nuan Xiaoxi put away her smile and asked solemnly.

"Black face. By the way, isn't he also the spokesperson of your picture-in-picture group? Next time he participates in an event, can he bring me along?" Liu Xinyang asked Nuan Xiaoxi seriously.

"Hey but not autumnal, what do you like about him?"

"How good is he scoring in the World Cup final? I love the celebration too."

"Oh..." After listening to Nuan Xiaoxi, she turned her head to look at the game on the field.

"Annoying, can you help me?"

"Hey... that bastard probably hasn't woken up at this hour. How about calling him in the evening for you?" Nuan Xiaoxi said impatiently.

"Really? Are you so familiar?" Liu Xinyang was a little excited.

"Hey, when I played football with him, you were still in kindergarten." Nuan Xiaoxi said casually.

"Ah..." This time it was Liu Xinyang's turn to be surprised, but she also instantly understood that Nuan Xiaoxi was jealous. "Hee hee hee..." Liu Xinyang leaned closer to Nuan Xiaoxi.

"By the way, is the TV in the room turned on?" Nuan Xiaoxi asked Liu Xinyang.

"Turn it on. I just pulled Xiao Hu out to watch the game together. She refused, so I turned on the TV."

"Oh."

"Listen to her, she has never been here before."

"Yeah, didn't you see Xiao Sun? She is my secretary at the club. Here, I am the deputy general manager."

"Deputy general manager? What is this arrangement?"

"Well, I was originally the chairman of the board, so I didn't want to be the general manager. But you also know the troubles in the country. The chairman always asks questions about big things. So if there is no way, I have to take a manager position. I'm thinking about being the deputy general manager. By the way, I will be responsible for Lala sponsorship or something."

"Oh."

"Didn't you see Xiao Sun?"

"The one in the outhouse who prepared the barbecue for us?"

"Ah."

"She can't go inside to watch the ball?"

"It used to be Ma Feifei, Zhu Guangliang and me."

"now what?"

"It's just you."

"Ah?" Liu Xinyang couldn't believe it.

"Tell me about it just now. If you are so closed-eyed, you know that I am a little unhappy, or worried. If Xiao Sun and the others saw it, what would they think?"

"Too."

"The work is done by other people. I don't do any work myself, and I can't help. I'm picking and choosing. It's not to make trouble, but to annoy people."

"Oh."

"So I'm clean by myself. Look at that balcony." Nuan Xiaoxi pointed to the box to the left, and there were three or four people watching the game on the balcony above. "Sister Mao, the deputy general manager, and Li Jinyu, the general manager, are here."

"what?"

"They and I received the governor once at this location. You don't need to watch the football, just watch them. Hehe..." Nuan Xiaoxi laughed when she remembered that day when she hosted Vice Governor Chen, who was in charge of science, education and sports in the province.

"After all, this is someone else's job." Liu Xinyang explained aside.

"That's true." Nuan Xiaoxi put away her smile.

"Tell me, which player do you like on the team?"

"What are you doing?"

"Just listen to it, I can still talk nonsense." Liu Xinyang said with a smile.

"Look at that full-back, it's the one on the left." Nuan Xiaoxi pointed to Ma Fei in the stadium and said, "I'm very optimistic about this kid. When he was playing for the Changchun team, I was optimistic about him. I just bought it this year. The boy is young, but he has too much energy."

"what happened?"

"Look at that woman," Nuan Xiaoxi pointed to a lady in a white suit on the rostrum.

"Which one?"

"The one in the white suit," Nuan Xiaoxi nodded again.

"Oh, it seems quite beautiful." Liu Xinyang finally saw it.

"Her name is Di Li, and she is the team reporter of our team. In a few days, this kid took her down." Nuan Xiaoxi shook her head after finishing speaking.

"What? Are you jealous?" Liu Xinyang looked at Nuan Xiaoxi with a smile.

"What jealousy can I have? I'm just worried that the kid's energy is not in the right place."

"What you put is the place?" Liu Xinyang teased Nuan Xiaoxi.

"I..." Nuan Xiaoxi smiled and squeezed Liu Xinyang's face.

"Bad guy." As soon as Liu Xinyang finished speaking, the stands burst into cheers.

In the East Stand, the fans' ribbons were flying all over the sky, and the shouts were also aligned with the drumbeat.

"Boom boom boom..." "Li Qingcheng."

"Boom boom boom..." "Li Qingcheng."

"Boom boom boom..." "Li Qingcheng."

"Boom boom boom..." "Li Qingcheng."

"Boom boom boom..." "Li Qingcheng."

. . . . . .

"I blame you, I didn't see it." Liu Xinyang pushed Nuan Xiaoxi a little angrily, and Nuan Xiaoxi hurriedly took her hand and ran to the box.

The replay of the goal began on the TV:
Midfielders Zhang Ye and Li Tie pinched the opponent's midfielder together. After Zhang Ye completed the steal, he passed back to the left back Ma Fei.Ma Fei dribbled the ball for more than 50 meters and reached the right side of the opponent's penalty area.Ma Fei made a cross from the wing before the opponent's defender robbed. James in the penalty area jumped high and kicked the ball back, and then Li Qingcheng at the back post quickly inserted the ball into the goal.

The score on the field at this time: one to zero, Shengcheng PIP Football Club leads.

"It's so exciting." Liu Xinyang said after watching the TV replay.

"Not bad." Nuan Xiaoxi led Liu Xinyang to sit on the sofa again, "Let Xiao Sun come in at that time, and you can order whatever you want." Nuan Xiaoxi looked at Xiao Hu and said.

"Okay." Xiao Hu got up and went to the outside room.

"Aren't you going to your company's dinner at night?" Liu Xinyang reminded Nuan Xiaoxi of the company's dinner at night.

"Hmm..." Nuan Xiaoxi hesitated.Theoretically, he should go, but thinking of the short time with Liu Xinyang, he is reluctant to go.

"Go, I'll wait for you at home. And when it's almost over, I'll pick you up, how about it?"

"Hmm..." Nuan Xiaoxi thought seriously.

"Don't hesitate, you are also the general manager. Besides, your mother is here, shouldn't you, a son, accompany her?"

"Hehe... You're still sensible. But I still want to arrive later, so just say there's something to do here."

"Hey...you are so smart." Liu Xinyang leaned on Nuan Xiaoxi's arms.

The two of them ate and chatted like this, watched the game on TV, and occasionally went to the balcony to take a look at the scene.And Xiao Hu didn't know when he also left the box and went outside to chat with Xiao Sun.

"Hi, I'm Xiao Hu. We talked on the phone before." Xiao Hu finally had the opportunity to introduce himself to Xiao Sun.

"Hello, I'm Xiaosun. You've only been here for two months, haven't you?" The two shook hands.

"Yes, how long have you been with President Nuan?"

"Well, more than two years."

"Ah, it's been so long." Xiao Hu was a little surprised.

"No, it's been more than two years. I've been here since the club was first established, and I've been working there until now." Xiao Sun said seriously, occasionally looking up at the progress of the game on TV.

"Then you've been around for a long time, Mr. Nuan must be very kind to you."

"Hehe, Mr. Nuan will also treat you well. Mr. Nuan has never done anything wrong to his own people. You will understand after a long time. Mr. Nuan is too quick-tempered. When he trains you, he just discusses the matter. It will be fine after that. As long as you are serious, Mr. Nuan will treat you as one of his own.

"Mmm, yes." Xiao Hu nodded.

"You're definitely not used to it when you first started. He doesn't praise his own people. If you say you've done a good job, only you have heard of it at this stage, and I am at this stage! Hey..." Xiao Sun sighed, "Only criticism, hehe..."

"That's because Mr. Nuan trusts you." Xiao Hu comforted him.

"The distrust can stay until now, you see Mr. Nuan doesn't shy away from me with his girlfriend."

"Hey..." Thinking of Liu Xinyang inside, Xiao Hu also smiled.

"Don't laugh, this matter is top secret. If the outside world finds out, President Nuan will be very sad again." Xiao Sun thought for a while and said with emotion.

"Why?" Xiao Hu asked puzzled.

"Mr. Nuan is very emotional, so he can't afford to let go of feelings." Xiao Sun said melancholy.

"It stands to reason that Mr. Nuan is so good, so why not just get a girlfriend now?" Xiao Hu was a little puzzled.

"Mr. Nuan, you don't look cheerful on the outside, he usually has a good smile. In fact, he doesn't get in touch with many people, just those of us around him. Occasionally, it is not easy to meet a like-minded person at work. Don't think that he has a cheerful personality. In fact, he is introverted to death, and he doesn't like to communicate with others."

"Ah?" Xiao Hu was surprised after hearing this, "That's right, it's true that the real estate company has only contacted a few of us."

"No, so every time Mr. Nuan expresses his feelings, he is serious, and after the ending, he is so sad that he dies."

"I don't think so this time." Xiao Hu said.

"why?"

"I have been in touch with Liu Xinyang, and I think she is very nice, very easy-going. She doesn't seem like the kind of person who is unpredictable, and..." Xiao Hu suddenly lowered his voice.

Xiao Sun unconsciously put his head close to Xiao Hu, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Hu turned his mouth into Xiao Sun's ear and said softly, "Liu Xinyang gave Mrs. Nuan the first time in Xiao Lian."

"Really?" Xiao Sun was startled after hearing this, and turned to look at Xiao Hu.

"Yeah." Xiao Hu nodded earnestly, and whispered into Xiao Sun's ear, "When I was preparing something for Mr. Nuan in Xiao Lian's hotel room, I accidentally saw blood on the bed sheet. It was so big and red." After finishing talking, Xiao Hu gestured.

"It's incredible." Xiao Sun was still a little surprised after hearing this.

"Really, I'm sure." Xiao Hu nodded, "I wasn't too sure at first, but I also heard her manager chatting with her when I was preparing for the event backstage."

"What did you say?" Xiao Sun asked gossip.

"The manager told her how to prevent pregnancy. He also asked her if it hurts, and if she needs to tell Mr. Nuan not to do it too often." Xiao Hu continued to gossip in a low voice.

"Hey..." Xiao Sun finished listening.

"What are you talking about?" Nuan Xiaoxi suddenly pushed open the door of the box and asked coldly.

"Ah...no, it's nothing." Xiao Sun was taken aback, and quickly got up to answer stutteringly.

Nuan Xiaoxi's secretary of the real estate company who was gossiping at this time was also scared out of her wits.

Predict what will happen in the future, and listen to the next decomposition.

This chapter is over.

Postscript (interlude, tidbits, extra episodes):

In the nanny's car, Liu Xinyang's makeup artist was doing makeup for Liu Xinyang, the assistant was talking about the process and precautions of the event, and the manager, Sister Ma, was standing outside the car door.

After the assistant finished talking about the process, Sister Ma started chatting with Liu Xinyang.

"Are you going to watch football tomorrow? Don't you not like football?" Sister Ma asked Liu Xinyang.

"Look, didn't I also watch a few games in the last World Cup?" Liu Xinyang replied.

"That's what you call watching? Ha ha..." Manager Sister Ma rejoiced when she thought of Liu Xinyang watching the ball last year.

Last year, when Liu Xinyang's game was almost over, he suddenly asked, "What about the Chelsea game?" Everyone burst out laughing.Only Liu Xinyang looked at everything blankly, and then a fan who was familiar with Liu Xinyang explained in a low voice, and then saw Liu Xinyang blushed and lowered his head.But after that, when Liu Xinyang attended the football watching activities, he stopped asking casual questions.

"Why don't you go for a walk with us." Sister Ma suggested.

"Forget it, it's not good for Xiaoxi not to go to the game, after all, he is the owner of the team." Liu Xinyang explained.

"Hey, it's really a married daughter, the water that was thrown out." Sister Ma sighed.

"How about you go too?" Liu Xinyang suggested.

"Forget it, we're not going to generate electricity. Hehe..." After Sister Ma finished speaking, everyone laughed.
