Chapter 230 Christmas Carnival
Christmas at Real Madrid
Half of the important players had run away, and Florentino Perez had to bring the rest to Italy to shoot a video of instructions for Real Madrid.
The weather in Italy has always been very mild. Although it is prone to rain, the temperature is much better than that in Madrid. It can now be maintained at 15 to 18 degrees. However, this year in Madrid it has been cold and rainy, and recently it has been so cold that it is uncomfortable.
The winter in the coastal city is already cold and windy, and now it's raining, which makes the cold even worse. The temperature below 10 degrees is really unbearable for these players who are used to warm weather.
So Ronaldo, Ramos, and Modric took advantage of the Christmas holiday to take their whole family to Turin for vacation. However, they also made a sudden decision, so the plane tickets were not booked in advance.
This is troublesome, because buying plane tickets during Christmas is a great operation. Modric, Ramos and Ronaldo called all the major airlines together, but there was no ticket, not even an empty plane.
Finally, Ronaldo remembered his own small plane, so he gritted his teeth and rented a route, and then flew to Turin as a group and stayed at the Turin Royal Hotel where Eggsy was.
All the rooms in the hotel, from ordinary to luxurious, were full, but fortunately there was a suite on the top floor, so Ramos' wife checked everyone in at the counter, and at this time Eggsy came back.
C Ronaldo and Ramos, Modric and Eggsy were still chatting, and several children were walking around the huge Christmas tree in the hall, their eyes shining as they looked at the gifts piled under the tree.
Although their fathers are famous players and they would not lack any Christmas gifts, the things displayed here are all given to the children by the hotel, and they are really tempted.
After Eggsy finished chatting with Modric, he turned around and saw Chris drooling at the gifts under the Christmas tree. Eggsy immediately turned around and asked the staff: "Are these gifts for sale?"
Some hotels also prepare gifts for Christmas, but these are for sale and the proceeds will be donated to children's charities.
That's why Eggsy asked if these were for sale.
"No sir, these are for the little customers who come to our store."
Eggsy heard this and said to Chris with a smile, "What do you want? Get it yourself."
"Brother Eggsy, I want one too!"
"And me!"
The daughter of Modric's family and the sons of Ramos' family were very familiar with Eggsy. They lay on Eggsy's body without any fear. In an instant, there were two children hanging on Eggsy's arms and one on his neck. It could be said that his whole body was full of children.
But Eggsy didn't feel disgusted at all. Instead, he went to the Christmas tree with the children and picked out gifts for them. When each child had one in his hand, he was still cutting the gifts for them with a smile.
"Okay, everyone has it, right?" As expected of the king of children in the orphanage, Eggsy was very obedient with the little ones. Just when Eggsy wanted to take them to the room, little Chris suddenly raised his hand.
"Brother Eggsy, you didn't take it!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present turned their eyes to Eggsy, and Eggsy smiled and said, "Brother, you are an adult now."
"No," Little Chris looked at Eggsy seriously and said, "My dad said that anyone under 18 is a child!"
After saying that, little Chris ran to the Christmas tree with his little legs clacking. He wanted to take a big one, but found that he couldn't lift it at all, so he took a small one and handed it to Eggsy.
"Eggsy-san is a kid too! He should get a present too!"
As soon as these words came out, all the staff present looked at Eggsy. However, they did see Eggsy's age when they registered for the house just now, and he was indeed a minor.
That…
"Of course," the hotel manager became the fastest responder at this time. He said with a smile: "Mr. Eggsy can take the gift."
"Among these gifts is our hotel's special prize this year. I wish you all good luck."
After hearing this, Chris became more serious. He forced the gift in his hand to Eggsy, who kept urging him to open it quickly to see what was inside.
The other children also started to clamor and wanted to see it. Eggsy looked at the small gift in his hand and had no choice but to follow the children in unwrapping it and opened the paper box inside.
Under everyone's attention, lying on the red velvet in the box was actually a golden card.
Eggsy: ...
In silence, Eggsy was still thinking: No way? Could this be the so-called special prize?
"Congratulations!" All the staff present suddenly applauded after seeing the golden card. "This is the invitation card for our hotel's Christmas dinner. You can invite your family to attend the dinner."
When Eggsy heard this, he immediately focused on the word family, and an almost crazy idea immediately appeared in his mind.
On the other hand, Real Madrid management in Madrid is having a headache.
"They just ran away like that?"
Mr. Florentino was angry, and all the management, including Zidane, who were sitting at the conference table next to him, dared not say a word.
Of course, Mr. Florentino would not get angry for no reason. The reason is that Real Madrid has a tradition every Christmas. That is, all the main players and club executives will record blessing videos for all Real Madrid fans on Christmas Eve.
Then there was the club's Christmas dinner, with everyone gathered together and the chairman gave a speech.
This tradition has been maintained for many years, and it is almost the same every year, but this year, Mr. Florentino never expected that half of his main lineup would run away!
Two midfielders, a striker, and a captain?!
This is a shot of the balls?!
How can Mr. Florentino not be angry?!
What made him even angrier was that recently some rumor spread through the grapevine that Real Madrid's overall financial situation was not good.
Mr. Florentino was almost angry! Real Madrid is doing very well this season! These people don't know how to show off properly. How could they come up with such a statement that Real Madrid is short of funds?
But there are people who actually believe this, which makes Mr. Florentino even angrier.
I don't know which opponent came up with this trick. I guess the goal is to mess up Real Madrid's winter break purchases. Damn...
He had originally thought of getting blessings from the main players and having a grand Christmas banquet, and then the rumors would stop.
He looked at Zidane angrily, but Zidane immediately acted as if it had nothing to do with him. He had just advised him not to be angry, saying that anger was harmful to his health.
As a result, the main player actually ran away, which really made Mr. Florentino very angry!
Ahhh, these guys have led Eggsy astray!
Just when Mr. Florentino was angry, a cell phone rang suddenly, which simply added fuel to Mr. Florentino's anger.
The management office had already issued a notice asking them to silence or turn off their cell phones during meetings. How could anyone make such a mistake at this time?
Just as Florentino was about to ask whose phone it was and why it was still ringing, Florentino's secretary spoke up.
"Sir...it seems to be your..."
"..." Mr. Florentino's boiling anger paused for a moment. He quickly picked up his mobile phone on the table and was obviously stunned when he saw the caller ID.
Ai, Eggsy?
Mr. Florentino was obviously stunned when he saw that it was Eggsy calling, and now he even forgot to get angry, but he still looked at everyone present, and could only take the phone to the corner, as far away from these people as possible to answer the call.
Among them, there were several people who were close to Mr. Florentino. They saw that the call was from Eggsy and thought that since he called at this critical moment when the chairman was angry, he would most likely be scolded.
But to their surprise, the gentleman not only did not curse at them, but his expression was just a little serious when he answered the phone.
I was wondering if they were treated differently, but some people seemed to have let it go. Eggsy had reported going to receive the award, but the three people who followed him had not reported it!
Everyone was watching Mr. Florentino making a phone call, and no one knew what he was saying. Anyway, in the end, the chairman actually smiled, which scared everyone present!
“…Okay, okay, since you said so, it’s not a big problem.” Mr. Florentino couldn’t help but curl up the corners of his mouth at this time.
This shocked the others. The senior executives who knew who made the call were speechless about Mr. Florentino's attitude and had a deep understanding of Eggsy's position in the chairman's heart.
Mr. Florentino, who was furious just after hanging up the phone, was now much calmer. He walked to the conference table and coughed, attracting everyone's attention before making the announcement.
"This year our Christmas celebrations will be held at the Royal Hotel in Turin," the president said to his secretary, "Send the notice and prepare for Real Madrid's turnaround."
"Everyone, our own plane is waiting at the airport tonight. We will ask the main players who are still in Madrid and whose families are also in Madrid to board the plane with their families. Those who want to go can sign up now. We will be ready to board the plane at 8:30 tonight."
The whole place was in an uproar when this was said. Charter a plane for everyone? Go to Italy? Go on holiday for Christmas? And have a banquet? And stay at the Royal Hotel?!
Mr. Florentino, you are so generous!
