Chapter 195 Meeting
Griezmann was actually quite satisfied with this flower-growing trip, because judging from the degree of media harassment, Eggsy completely helped him block all the media bombardment. Griezmann saw Eggsy being annoyed, and for a moment he couldn't bear the exotic food in his hand.
The fact that Griezmann invited Eggsy to a local old brand was soon announced by the media, and it was conceivable that the old brand would be blocked by the swarm of people. However, the store owner and security personnel still had their own way. They had prepared a private room in advance, close to the back passage, so that they could retreat at any time.
Although there were no outside media, the event organizers still arranged their own media and hosts to chat with Eggsy and Griezmann.
Griezmann was very enthusiastic and kept putting things into the pot, but when Eggsy looked at the rolling red hot pot and the scorching heat coming towards him, he suddenly felt that he really wanted to eat it, and he would probably have to sit on the toilet until tomorrow.
"Wow~ So delicious!" Griezmann was not familiar with using chopsticks yet, but that didn't stop him from using a colander to have a delicious meal. Even though it was spicy enough, he still happily drank two sips of sour plum soup and continued to fight.
On the other hand, Eggsy, looking at the bright red soup and the pungent smell, only dared to take some glutinous rice cakes and crispy pork. Griezmann seemed to see that he couldn't eat spicy food, so he ordered an extra dessert for Eggsy.
At this time, Eggsy's mind was no longer here. Now Migliaccio was not by his side. At this time, Migliaccio was shopping all over the street. He bought all these for Eggsy, because Eggsy planned to go directly back to the UK tomorrow, so he bought gifts for Eggsy to send back.
I have to say that this century-old shop recommended by the translator is really good, with all kinds of local specialties. Migliaccio quickly selected several kinds, and then selected dozens of each, packed them directly for air express, and remembered to write Eggsy's name on these packages, and clearly stated: Eggsy's gift.
After finishing the work here, Migliaccio immediately went to book a flight for Eggsy. Before Eggsy went to have dinner with Griezmann, Eggsy called Beckham, and the meaning was simple: he wanted to ask about Sir Alex Ferguson.
But Eggsy didn't expect that Beckham, who was Ferguson's disciple, was stunned when he heard Eggsy ask him to help introduce him. The stunned and quiet on the phone was too obvious, and Eggsy was also a little puzzled by Beckham's reaction.
"Um, Eggsy." Beckham was a little embarrassed on the other end of the phone, and finally said: "I can give you his phone number and address, but I'm afraid I can't introduce you to him."
"Eggsy, maybe you don't know that Sir Ferguson may not meet me now." Beckham finally told the truth, which surprised Eggsy a little, but he quickly adjusted.
"Okay, phone number and address are fine too." Although Eggsy was curious about why Beckham and Ferguson ended up like this, he would not ask rashly unless Beckham told him.
Beckham couldn't introduce Eggsy to anyone, which forced Eggsy to think twice. The English aristocracy always made them do things tactfully, such as visiting someone at home. Eggsy and Sir Alex Ferguson were not familiar with each other, so he couldn't go there rashly, otherwise he would be turned away.
"I still need to find someone to recommend me." Eggsy's thoughts were still on the recommender, and he didn't even notice that Griezmann, under the host's 'guidance', had put a lot of dishes into Eggsy's sauce.
"It seems that Eggsy can't eat spicy food?" The host saw that Eggsy didn't eat much, so he started to chat with Eggsy. "Don't you like spicy food?"
"I can't really handle spicy food," Eggsy responded politely and answered the host's question. "I want to eat it, but I think it will give me a stomachache if it's this spicy."
This was a very respectful remark, and the host started laughing. Probably wanting to find something to talk about with Eggsy, the host also made a not-too-spicy sauce for Eggsy to dip in to relieve the heat, and asked the question that the host had always wanted to ask.
"So, can we see you at this World Cup?"
Why mention the World Cup at this critical moment! Eggsy complained in his heart, but his mind was still working fast. He smiled and ate and then said, "Of course I want to, but it depends on the coach's arrangement."
The host was of course aware of the England national team's hasty change of coach, and he did not intend to embarrass Eggsy by asking this question, but just wanted to get some inside information. But he obviously underestimated Eggsy, and was rejected by a soft nail.
Eggsy's answer was flawless, and Griezmann next to him just looked at it and didn't say much. After all, it was a topic about the national team, so he couldn't interrupt. The host realized that his topic had brought the atmosphere into a pit, so he had to change the topic and ask Griezmann.
"World Cup?" Griezmann ate a bite of tripe, wiped the spicy oil from the corners of his mouth, and then replied: "I really want to compete with Eggsy again."
Damn it, the host cursed in his heart! It's basically the same whether it's said or not! I'm asking about the World Cup, you're telling me a personal comparison???
The host could see that everyone present was a smart person, so it was better not to mention the World Cup and ask about other things. So the meal was not very interesting, but fortunately Eggsy himself did not plan to eat much. He was just thinking about it after he arrived at Migliaccio.
Migliaccio worked for most of the day and even got Eggsy's plane ticket, but when Eggsy said he hadn't gotten Beckham, Migliaccio just remembered.
"...I totally forgot about it." Migliaccio patted his forehead. He looked at Eggsy who was a little surprised and said, "Well, when Beckham and Victoria got married, it wasn't a big deal. Victoria's appearance did shift the focus of Beckham's career. Although Beckham's career was great enough, it still didn't meet the expectations of many celebrities."
These words made Eggsy suddenly realize that as Beckham's mentor, Ferguson must want Beckham to focus on the court.
In fact, it was because of this that the relationship between the two broke down. Ferguson even wrote in his autobiography that since he started dating Victoria, Beckham began to pay attention to his hairstyle and clothes, and his attention began to shift away from the court. Without Victoria, Beckham might have become a greater star like Pele and Maradona.
As a teacher, he certainly felt that it was all Victoria's fault, and it was not so difficult to understand why the relationship between Beckham and Ferguson was in crisis.
"Tsk." Eggsy lowered her head in annoyance, untied her ponytail, and did not forget to scratch her scalp to loosen her hair.
Miliaccio thought Eggsy was too narrow-minded, so he reminded him, "Don't you have many colleagues in Real Madrid who are Beckham's colleagues?"
This sentence actually woke Eggsy up. He suddenly raised his head, hurriedly took out his new phone, and prepared to make a call. But Eggsy didn't call Zidane or Ronaldo, who he knew before, as Migliaccio thought. Unexpectedly, the person Eggsy called was actually -
"C Ronaldo, it's me~" When Eggsy faced Ronaldo, there was no small talk, he basically said: "Can you introduce me to Sir Alex Ferguson? I have something to do now... I need to meet him."
In fact, the relationship between Ronaldo and Ferguson is quite good. In the friendly match between Sporting Lisbon and Manchester United, Ronaldo's excellent performance was highly recommended by Manchester United players, and Ferguson then brought Ronaldo to Old Trafford.
This kind of favor has allowed Ronaldo and Sir Alex Ferguson to keep in touch. Now that Eggsy wants Ferguson, Ronaldo will of course help without any problem, because he also knows what Eggsy has been doing in England recently and gave him a special reminder.
"I feel like Jazz is not using you as a shield," Ronaldo said directly on the phone. "On the contrary, I feel like he has a pretty good opinion of you."
"Go talk to him, maybe you'll get something unexpected."
The relationship between Eggsy and Ronaldo is no longer just that of ordinary teammates. He said directly on the phone: "Thanks, brother."
"If you really want to say thank you, please remember to send back more local specialties." Of course, Ronaldo would not be polite to Eggsy. Eggsy naturally understood and quickly said that Miliaccio had bought the things and sent them back. Only then was Ronaldo satisfied.
That night, Eggsy left Tianfu, transferred to the international airport, and then headed straight to England. Although their plane took off at night, during the more than ten hours of flight, all Eggsy could do was sleep.
When Eggsy fell asleep, the plane was still in the night, but it was just getting dark.
Due to the time difference, Eggsy felt a little dazed after getting off the plane, but now was definitely not a good time to go to the house. So Migliaccio booked a hotel for Eggsy, and the two of them took a rest first and waited until dawn to talk.
Fortunately, after learning that Eggsy's plane had arrived, Ronaldo immediately called him and said that he had contacted Sir Alex Ferguson. Sir Alex Ferguson said that he would be waiting for Eggsy's visit at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning and expressed his welcome.
