Chapter 464: Playing 4P is Enough
"Hey, Mr. Wade, why do you have time to call me?"
At the editorial office of the Southern Echo in Southampton, Charlene Lahrie received a call from Rebekah Wade, editor-in-chief of The Sun.
"Charlene, why are you speaking so politely?"
Charlene Lahiri laughed twice and said nothing.
In the entire British newspaper industry, who doesn't know that Rebecca Wade is notorious for not doing anything without profit?
Would someone call you for no reason?
You are dreaming
This guy wouldn't call you if he didn't have some idea.
Perhaps because she heard Charlene Lahiri smiling without saying anything, Rebekah Wade felt a little embarrassed.
"I called you mainly to talk to you. During the International Champions Cup, our Sun reprinted your column in the Southern Echo. The readers responded very enthusiastically, especially the gossip and inside information involved in it. You know, readers like this tone."
Charlene Lahiri smiled again, and this time she even hummed.
"I'm planning to talk to you about this. I hope you can open a column in our newspaper for a long time. What do you think?"
Charlene Lahiri hesitated for a moment. "I'm afraid that's going to be difficult, Mr. Wade."
“Why? Remuneration is not a problem.”
"No, it's not because of the remuneration, but because I'm afraid I don't have the time."
Rebekah Wade then remembered that Charlene Lahri was a very busy person.
She had previously created her own media outlet [Off-site], which became a huge hit on YouTube. Charlene Lahiri also became a big celebrity on social networks, and even British Telecom paid a large sum to buy the copyright of this program.
Originally, Charlene Lahri had decided to resign, but in order to retain this pillar of support, the Southern Echo offered her the position of deputy editor-in-chief, and only then did they manage to keep her.
The Sun also used many channels of connections to finally convince Charlene Lahiri to agree that during the International Champions Cup, the Sun could reprint Charlene Lahiri's column in the Southern Echo.
"Charlene, you can arrange your time. We don't ask you to write every day. You can write when you have time. If you don't have time, you don't have to write. There is no task, so there is no pressure."
"So good?" Charlene Lahri laughed.
This is not like Rebekah Wade.
Rebekah Wade heard Charlene Lahiri's laughter and started laughing too.
"Okay, I'll take this as your agreement."
Charlene Lahiri had no objection. If she really didn't want to write, she could just say she didn't have time and she wouldn't suffer any loss.
"By the way, Charlene, I want to ask you something."
"Well, please go ahead."
"I heard that during their stay in Miami, Peter Nian, Ron Gourlay, and Barcelona president Rosell and vice president Bartomeu met to discuss Neymar's transfer. Is that true?"
Charlene Lahiri was delighted when she heard this.
Sure enough, this guy not only wanted to invite me to write a column, but also wanted to get information from me.
But it's not a secret
According to reports from the American media, Southampton not only met with Barcelona, but also met with people from Real Madrid, but the newspaper that broke the news could not produce any evidence.
As the saying goes, if you don't have a picture, what are you talking about Cai Guoqing?
Who would believe your empty words?
"I don't know," Charlene Lahiri replied calmly.
This made Rebekah Wade very disappointed.
Even Charlene Lahri, who claims to be the official spokesperson for Southampton, said she didn't know. So is this true? Or is Southampton really being too secretive?
"But I am very sure that even if Southampton really wants to sell Neymar, it will definitely not be this summer."
Rebekah Wade was a little surprised and asked without thinking, "Why?"
"Southampton's goal this season is to finish in the top four"
"What?" Rebekah Wade on the other end of the phone was obviously surprised.
Top four in the league?
Isn’t this ambition and goal a bit too big?
A newly promoted team, just arrived, wants to get into the top four of the league?
Do you know how fierce the competition is in the Premier League right now?
Ferguson's Manchester United, Mancini's Manchester City, Benítez's Chelsea and Wenger's Arsenal, these four teams have monopolized the top four of the Premier League in the past few years, and it is difficult for other teams to shake their position.
In addition, Villas-Boas's Tottenham Hotspur, Moyes' Everton and Rogers' Liverpool are all very strong teams. If they perform better, they can reach the top four in the league in minutes.
Southampton is undoubtedly very strong, there is no doubt about that.
But this is their first Premier League season after all. Do they want to be in the top four in one go?
Isn’t this appetite a bit too big?
Do you really think that Premier League teams are as easy to beat as Championship and League One teams?
This is a league where even the second-placed team can defeat the top team
"What? Do you think it's difficult?" Charlene Lahri asked with a smile when she heard Rebekah Wade's surprise.
Rebekah Wade hummed, "You should know how fierce the competition in the Premier League is."
But Charlene Lahri shook her head and smiled: "I think that for Southampton, the top four in the league is not an unrealistic goal. On the contrary, I think this goal is a bit conservative."
"Conservative?" Rebekah Wade was a little surprised.
Is Charlene Lahiri just too optimistic?
Or is the outside world too pessimistic about Southampton's prospects?
"If the top four in the league is considered conservative, then according to what you said, a non-conservative goal should be winning the championship, right?"
Rebekah Wade said this, shook her head and laughed, "Charlene, do you know that in the Premier League or even the English top league, there has never been a precedent of a newly promoted team winning the championship? Do you really think the Kaiserslautern legend is so easy to copy?"
Kaiserslautern is the only Bundesliga team that has created the myth of a newly promoted team winning the championship.
But the team did not last long and declined due to financial difficulties in the early 21st century.
It is worth mentioning that at the peak moment, the head coach of the Bundesliga Red Devils was Rehhagel, who later led Greece to win the European Cup.
"The possibility of winning the championship is not high, but I am very confident that we can be in the top four of the league," said Charlene Lahri with a faint smile.
Rebekah Wade obviously had a different opinion, and it wasn't so easy to change it, so in the end she could only smile and say it.
"Then let's wait and see who is right."
"Okay," Charlene Lahri agreed.
After hanging up the phone with Rebekah Wade, Charlene Lahri pouted playfully.
Why do these people only remember to eat and not to be beaten?
Are all the achievements Southampton has made in the past two years fake?
Also, the Saints just won the International Champions Cup this summer. Is this also fake?
When Charlene Lahiri thinks of the International Champions Cup, she thinks of Yang Huan.
That guy is still in the United States. He visited the headquarters of Apple, Microsoft and Intel before, and now I don’t know where he is. I plan to invite him to participate in the off-site recording again.
Thinking of this, Charlene Lahri took out her cell phone, found Yang Huan's number in the address book, and called him.
After only two rings, the call was connected.
But as soon as the phone call was connected, Yang Huan's complaints were heard.
"Hey, miss, are you kidding me? I just managed to destroy that bastard's headquarters, and you called me at this time. I'm going to cry."
Charlene Lahiri was depressed. Who knew you were playing games at this time?
"My dear Master Huan, you are so leisurely, even playing games is so self-righteous."
"Who said I was playing games?" Yang Huan asked on the other end of the phone.
"If you don't play games, what do you do?"
"Socializing."
It was only then that Charlene Lahri noticed that there was a lot of noise coming from the phone, and there seemed to be music, laughter, and a woman.
"Hey, Master Huan, are you guys, the rich second generation, having a naked party?"
"Damn, do I look like that kind of person? Even if there really is a naked meeting, I will definitely stay far away and not dare to watch."
Charlene Lahiri couldn't help but chuckle, "You don't look like such a pure person at all."
"That depends on who I'm with. If I have a naked party with you, I will definitely be very excited."
Charlene Lahiri's heart trembled when she was teased by him, and then she felt a sweet sensation.
"By the way, little beauty, when will you fulfill your promise?"
Charlene Lahri smiled and curled her lips, "Maybe later, I'm not ready yet."
"I'm not ready yet." Yang Huan imitated his voice and pretended to make her laugh.
And she was indeed amused.
"When will you be back?" Charlene Lahiri asked.
"What?"
"I'm going to invite you to record another episode off-site."
"Wow!" Yang Huan on the other end of the phone was unhappy, "I say, you're going too far!"
Charlene Lahiri was stunned. How did I go too far?
Is the copyright of this off-site property mine?
I'm just working for you, okay?
At best, he is just a wage earner with a little more freedom.
"Last time I supported you and recorded an episode of Off-stage, you promised me something? Well, you didn't do what you promised me, and now you dare to come again?"
Charlene Lahri laughed out loud when she heard this. This guy is really petty.
But when I think about it, I had almost forgotten about it.
"Stingy guy," Charlene Lahri said to him in a coquettish tone.
"Yes, you are generous, you are magnanimous, you are a man, if you have the guts, send me another one that will be burned after reading it."
Charlene Lahiri was both angry and happy, laughing, "I'm asking you for help. If you don't agree, believe it or not, I'll report in the newspaper tomorrow that you're holding a naked meeting in the United States."
"Okay, if you dare to say that I held an open meeting, then I will accept an interview with reporters and say that you and I held an open meeting on a yacht. Let's see who the reporters believe.
Charlene Lahiri was speechless.
I've seen people with thick skin, but I've never seen one as thick as this.
But unfortunately, she just couldn't do anything to him.
"Okay, don't bother me if you have nothing to do. I have to go watch the 36 Dr. Spoon Shaking Breasts Supermodel."
When Charlene Lahiri heard the word Thirty-Six B, she thought they were talking about her. Her face turned red, she spat, and hung up the phone.
Tsk, where did the shaking breast supermodel come from?
I'd be surprised if I believed you.
Sometimes, men are just so pitiful.
I'm telling the truth, but no one believes me
Yang Huan is now enjoying the breeze on the second-floor balcony of a top bar near the Marbury Yacht Wharf in Los Angeles, USA.
There was a party going on at the bar downstairs. It was indeed lively and the atmosphere was a bit ambiguous, but it was quite serious and they were not afraid even if reporters came.
Isn't it just inviting a few Hollywood starlets to come over for a drink and build some relationships?
What's so great?
The main reason was that Gavin Patterson, that pervert, knew someone and actually invited the famous Hollywood supermodel with shaking breasts to come on board, which made Hamad and others bleed from their noses.
Especially Hamad.
This guy hates women with big breasts
Yang Huan couldn't help laughing when he thought of the drooling expressions of these guys.
Master Huan had a very picky aesthetic sense. He had no interest in those little Hollywood stars in the bar downstairs, but he didn't want to spoil everyone's mood, so he went to the second-floor balcony alone to get some fresh air.
Xu Ke recently went to the United States to select the female lead for the play Ghost Blows Out the Light, but after choosing for a long time, he couldn't find one that he liked, so he kept calling Yang Huan to come over and take a look.
After going over to take a look tomorrow, Yu Cui will just go back to London.
He has been in the United States for several days.
While lying on the balcony railing and looking at the yacht marina in the distance, he saw another person arriving by car, and it was another woman.
Gavin Patterson is a very good friend.
Bringing so many girls here in one night is enough to play with HP
Just in time, Speak of the devil and he will appear.
As soon as Master Huan was talking about Gavin Patterson, this guy came running up to the second floor.
More importantly, this guy had a lewd and ambiguous smile on his face, looking just like a pimp.
