Chapter 174 Attending Activities (I)
No one expected that Eggsy would answer the question about the World Cup in this way. After the female reporter was politely retorted by Eggsy, she had nothing to say and could only smile awkwardly and sit down.
Then Eggsy turned off his microphone, and it was obvious that he was not going to talk to anyone anymore. The other reporters could only turn the topic to the game itself and started playing Tai Chi with Zidane and Ramos.
Eggsy sat there like a good boy the whole time. After all, Eggsy really dominated the press conference this time, and a bunch of reporters left him speechless.
Especially when Eggsy was arguing with others, he was very serious. Seeing his sincere look, the reporters all had the illusion: "Am I really wrong?"
After the press conference, Zidane, Ramos and Eggsy kept looking back on their way back, as if they wanted to say something but didn't know how to start.
Eggsy, who was walking behind them, might not have noticed it at first, but the footsteps of the people in front of him were stuttering, and the corridor was quite long, so he naturally noticed it. However, he did not ask anything, but spoke with a smile.
"Given our relationship, just say whatever you want to say. I won't be angry." Eggsy waved his hand and looked at Ramos.
Zidane may still consider what he says, but Ramos has always said whatever he wants to him.
"You are so rude to the media, aren't you afraid of what they will write about you behind your back?" After Ramos said this, he felt that he was too straightforward, so he said: "Of course, if your agent can help you suppress these reporters, then you can say whatever you want."
Speaking of agents, Eggsy, who just thought it was nothing, also began to think. To be honest, judging from his current situation, his agent, Emmansa, is in Spain and he is in the UK, so if Eggsy has something to do, she really can't take care of it.
Moreover, considering Eggsy's current situation, the commercial endorsements that Emmanuel could help him get before were all in the UK. It was impossible for Eggsy to put aside his training and competitions to fly back for a UK endorsement.
Add to that the supervision of the media and safety issues, and Emmansa's scope of responsibility is really a bit difficult to keep up with. But Eggsy was not interested in these endorsements and fame, and he cared even less about the benefits behind these endorsements.
Therefore, although Emmantha is a little overwhelmed by Eggsy's business at present, the employment contract between him and Emmantha is for one year, and there are more than half a year left. Eggsy thinks it will be in time to talk about it then, so he doesn't care too much.
But now, Eggsy thinks back to the reporters he just targeted, they will definitely not say anything good about him. But Eggsy doesn't care too much, he only cares about what the people he cares about think. Others...
Let him be.
The way Eggsy was thinking made Ramos and Zidane feel that it was time to stop, so they didn't say anything. And Eggsy had a phone call at this time, so they didn't know what to say.
Eggsy walked aside to answer the phone, while Zidane and Ramos deliberately found a topic to talk about not far away, waiting for Eggsy. But just as the two of them talked about the outrageous extent of the British tabloids, they suddenly heard Eggsy holding the phone and asking in surprise: "What? Me?"
Although the person on the other end of the phone didn't know who Eggsy was talking to, he didn't hide the surprise on his face. Ramos and Zidane looked at each other, and saw a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.
What's wrong with my own little one?
In fact, it was nothing, just that Eggsy was invited to attend a celebration. This celebration was a gathering held by a world-renowned charity organization in France. Not only was Eggsy invited, but celebrities who were famous and keen on charity in the world would also attend.
As for why I invited Eggsy...
He himself grew up in an orphanage supported by a charity organization. He is still young and is very popular in football. Inviting him will also attract the attention of young people, so he was invited to this charity dinner.
Actually, to be honest, Eggsy didn't want to go. He wanted to play football more than any banquets. Even if it wasn't a game, training was much better than having to go to those occasions and have awkward conversations with others. But it was hard for Eggsy to refuse charity.
"...Okay, I'll arrive on time then." Eggsy thought about it and realized that he just had a training mission those days, so if it didn't work out, he could just switch to physical training and continue in the hotel's gym.
Eggsy took a deep breath, turned around and saw Zidane. After explaining the general situation, Zidane said that he could take three days off. It was not a big problem. With Eggsy's current injury condition, he didn't need to rest, but Zidane would let him go if he really wanted to.
That night, Eggsy left the team with some of his luggage. After hearing that Eggsy was going to attend the charity dinner, Modric, the caring mother, specifically reminded Eggsy to remember to buy a formal suit, or at least go to a good barber shop to get his hair done for such an occasion.
Eggsy didn't want to waste all this time, so he turned around and threw it to his agent. Before leaving, he hugged Modric and said goodbye: "Don't worry, I'll be back in a few days."
"I'm not worried," Modric said, obviously worried, and finally reminded: "Eggsy, remember to wear your coat, and don't put your money and passport in one pocket."
Eggsy was wearing sportswear, a baseball cap, sunglasses and a backpack, looking like a young, rich, handsome and lonely college student. In the slightly chaotic streets of France, it was like tying a sign to himself: stupid, rich, come quickly!
In response to Modric's instructions, Eggsy said: "My agent has arranged two bodyguards for me to protect me for three days. Shouldn't that be a big problem?"
When Modric heard about the bodyguards, he relaxed a little, and then he and his teammates reminded them to be careful. Zidane even gave Eggsy a phone number, and he was worried that he could call this number if he encountered any trouble in the next three days.
"Of course I hope you won't need it." Zidane smiled and said, "This is my former agent. He has a lot of connections, so it can be considered a rainy day."
Eggsy held the note with Zidane's phone number in his hand and smiled, "Wow, I'm just like the little animal in Mother Goose's nursery rhyme. How come every time I go out, all the animals in the forest give me presents?"
"Don't you think you're not an animal?" Benzema coughed after he finished speaking and explained, "A reckless but sincere little teddy bear who is always full of naive fantasies. You have to be careful of other animals in this forest. There may even be ferocious beasts."
Eggsy could tell what Benzema meant, especially that he was going to France. He nodded and said, "I understand. I will keep the money and passport separate."
After saying this, the others also laughed. They knew that Eggsy was a clever guy who would understand everything. In the end, Eggsy got off the bus and watched the Real Madrid bus slowly drive away in front of him. After waving goodbye to his teammates on the bus, he quickly found an online taxi.
Eggsy looked at the oncoming online-hailing car on his phone, and for the first time he thought about whether he could get a job as a spokesperson for an online-hailing car next time, since he... couldn't drive.
"Huh~" Eggsy shook his head, looked at his phone and muttered to himself: "Eggsy, you have to have some skills to leave some room for others."
Fortunately, there are still many flights from the UK to France today, so Eggsy still has some free time to eat something after arriving at the airport. But he obviously didn't expect to be discovered as soon as he sat in the online car-hailing car...
"Eggsy?" The driver of the online car-hailing service was a young man. At this moment, he was looking up at the rearview mirror in front of him, and through the reflection of the mirror, he saw Eggsy who just happened to be walking in from behind with his head lowered.
"It's Eggsy! It's you, right?" The excited driver was obviously using his excessive enthusiasm to make Eggsy not know how to respond.
However, as Eggsy's performance on the court became better and better, he now faced more and more such situations, so after a few seconds he generously admitted his identity and took a photo with the other party in a very sophisticated manner.
"Oh my god, I'm going to post on my Twitter that I actually ran into Eggsy!"
Faced with the driver who was a little too excited, Eggsy could only maintain a rational smile. He didn't want to make the driver more excited. After all, he was driving...
Fortunately, the driver's excitement didn't last long, because Eggsy asked him not to reveal his whereabouts, so he cooperated and said he could send the message after a few hours.
Eggsy felt much better after arriving at the airport. He specially found a restaurant and slowly enjoyed his meal. While drinking his drink, he also looked at his phone to check the information of the two bodyguards that Emmansa had arranged for him, and the ones who had promised to pick him up at the airport and drive him to get the dress he needed for the banquet.
As early as when Eggsy called Emmantha, Emmantha had sent all his sizes to a high-end tailor in France. Of course, the request was that it must be rushed, because Eggsy would wear it the day after tomorrow, and a makeup artist was arranged for Eggsy. At least the invitation to the event did say that he had to dress up.
When Emmansa received the notice from Eggsy, she was actually very excited. She felt that if Eggsy really attended such an event, it would definitely bring him a lot of international endorsements.
But the truth is, she was thinking too simply - she overlooked the most important issue.
