"Stephen, are you saying that Sky TV has agreed to cooperate with us?"

After the game, Chen Ran received good news from Stephen.

"Yes, this news came from our 'friend', so it should be very reliable."

"It seems that Sky TV has also unified its internal opinions and can proceed to the next step."

Chen Ran's fingers tapped rhythmically on the boss's desk in front of him, his brain running rapidly.

"Stephen, I asked you to start with the clues provided by those reporters first. How did you do?"

"Chen, your idea is really great. Our people have contacted those reporters, and judging from our preliminary understanding, many of the candidates they provided were once famous local hopefuls.

"

"Really? I really guessed it. It seems that my 1,000 euros were not given in vain. However, ordinary people cannot completely give up the clues. Otherwise, when the list is announced in the future, everyone will see that only journalists have been selected. This

It’s easy to become someone else’s talking point. Do you understand?”

"I understand, Chen, you are still thoughtful."

After explaining to Stephen, Chen Ran turned his attention to the fat boy Lewis.

"Louis, after we negotiate the cooperation with Sky TV, you will be responsible for handling the production team sent by Sky TV. Then, during the filming process, try to guide it in a sensational and tear-jerking direction. Do you understand?"

"Understood. Hehe, Chen, your method is really powerful."

The little fat man smiled harmlessly, raised his eyebrows and gave Chen Ran a thumbs up.

The team has overcome the difficulty of Guardiola's absence, and has made new progress in its plan to put pressure on the Football Association. This makes Chen Ran feel very good now, and it is rare for him to return home early today.

"Hey, Cheryl, why did you come back so early today? Didn't the company arrange any activities?"

Seeing Cheryl at home, Chen Ran was also a little surprised.

She is now the lead singer of a popular girl group. How could their company let this cash cow sit idle? Various performances and activities are fully scheduled, and it is common for her to come home later than Chen Ran.

Chen Ran once advised her not to work so hard, but for a girl who grew up poor, it was impossible for her to give up her current great career.

After saying it twice, Chen Ran saw that it had no effect and just let it go.

He just hired a female assistant and bodyguard for Cheryl outside of her company.

It's a pity that Chen Ran listened to very few English songs in his previous life, so he couldn't copy a few songs to Cheryl.

You can't let Cheryl sing "Someone Like Me," right?

"My dear, you are back."

Seeing Chen Ran come back, Cheryl, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, quickly came over to greet him.

"What's wrong, honey, you seem a little unhappy?"

Seeing Cheryl's forced smile, Chen Ran suddenly felt guilty.

Since getting together with Cheryl, almost all his time and energy have been devoted to the team, and he has paid too little attention to Cheryl.

Chen Ran gently held Cheryl in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her, then held her little face in his hands and looked at her worriedly.

"nothing......"

Cheryl turned her face away, as if she didn't want to say anything.

Her appearance made Chen Ran even more worried.

Chen Ran pulled her to sit on the sofa and looked seriously into Cheryl's eyes.

"Is there anything else you can't say to me?"

"My dear, there are so many things about your team, I just don't want my own things to distract you."

"Fool, no matter how many things the team has to do, they are not as important as yours."

Chen Ran held Cheryl in his arms and said all he could to say nice things.

"Actually, it's nothing. It's just that after you hired a separate assistant and bodyguard for me, someone got jealous and I found out when she said bad things about me behind my back. I had a big fight with her today."

"Oh? Is he from your group?"

It turned out that this was the case. Chen Ran raised his eyebrows, but he didn't feel too surprised.

After all, where there are more women, there are more disputes, especially in the entertainment industry.

"That's right, I've long heard that bitch was talking bad about me behind my back, and I finally caught him today."

Cheryl, who expressed her worries, seemed to come alive again. This is the real Cheryl.

Chen Ranxin said that no wonder she saw Cheryl looking depressed when she came back. It turned out that she had had a quarrel with someone.

"It's okay, baby, don't worry. I have everything, and you just have to be yourself. If you don't want to be in this group anymore, you can propose a solo career to the company tomorrow, and you won't have to complain all the time about the five people sharing the money.

Too little."

"Is this really okay? Will the company agree to it?"

Cheryl was a little moved by what Chen Ran said, but she was only in her early 20s after all, and she didn't know much about many things.

"How will you know if it works if you don't try? Besides, the worst result is that you will be hidden by the company. Don't you still have me? At worst, I will support you."

Chen Ran smiled like the wolf grandmother who seduced Little Red Riding Hood. Although he respected Cheryl's choice, it would be better if Cheryl was willing to be the woman behind him.

"Then I'll go to the company and give it a try tomorrow. Honey, I'm still young, and I still hope to do something I like."

"Well, no matter what choice you make, I will support you, as long as you like it."

Chen Ran lowered his head and kissed Cheryl gently. Although he was a little disappointed, as long as she was happy, that would be fine.

During this period, all media covering football in England inevitably had news about Chen Ran and Crystal Palace.

There is no way, because there are too many things to write about, enough for reporters to play and interpret. The most important thing is that the British people also like to read it.

Especially in the last English Championship game, Crystal Palace, which lost its core midfielder Guardiola, showed weakness in the first half and then suddenly showed strength in the second half and defeated the visiting Ipswich Town in one fell swoop, causing many pre-match worries.

People who looked at the Crystal Palace broke their spectacle lenses all over the floor.

The information about Cesc Fabregas, the key figure who directly caused this result, was also dug up by reporters.

"Shocking, Fabregas, the genius who perfectly replaced Guardiola, is only 16 years old."

"The 16-year-old genius Cesc Fabregas comes from La Masia, the world's top youth training school."

"After Ronaldo, Crystal Palace once again gets a football genius."

"According to reliable information, the talented young Fabregas was snatched from Arsenal by Crystal Palace chairman Chen Ran."

"A reminder to all clubs that Crystal Palace appear to have a secret formula for attracting football talent."

"In-depth analysis: Why is the small Crystal Palace able to steal football talents from wealthy clubs time and time again?"

"Chen Ran, the manipulator behind a series of operations at Crystal Palace."

...

Looking at the various reports collected by the little fat man, Chen Ran just wanted to reply, "Fxxxk!"

Damn it, these media are really obsessed with me.

They really want to push me to the opposite side of other clubs.
