Chapter 30 Processing
Along the way, he was watching the battle between the real and fake 'Eggsy' on the Internet, and his Twitter account was doubling its number of followers every time, with a jump of 1,000.
If it was just the numbers jumping around, Eggsy might have just laughed it off, but what made him feel terrified and out of control was not only the increase in the number of fans, but also the constant reminders from the background that someone had sent him messages.
It would be fine if it was just Facebook that was reminding him that there were messages coming in, but Eggsy's phone and text messages were also flashing one after another. The phone was like a crazy alarm clock, and Eggsy's phone was shaking like a bomb that could explode at any time.
Eggsy quickly threw his phone on the empty chair next to him, which scared Vardy who was about to come over.
Eggsy was about to say something to Vardy when another call came in from an unfamiliar number. The phone kept ringing like a frightened animal, and noisy and piercing music kept playing. Eggsy could only hold it down and mute it.
But Mahrez, who was behind Eggsy, reached out his hand and quietly waved to Vardy, and Vardy quietly sat over.
But even so, the phone kept vibrating. Eggsy looked at him as if he was seeing some kind of monster and started to stay away from his phone.
The poor cell phone was like a dying fish that was pulled out of a lake, shaking non-stop on the seat. Even with the volume turned off, the vibrating 'buzzing' sound still made many teammates in the car look over.
Just as Eggsy was about to press the phone, he found that the screen of his phone was flashing... It was out of battery and turned off. Finally, it stopped, and Eggsy sighed.
But then he thought about the hundreds of calls, countless text messages, and various social media that were consuming his phone's battery at an explosive rate.
So...is my kid being cyberbullied?
The teammates on the side watched as the kid hadn't stopped talking since he got on the bus. His phone kept vibrating, and it felt like it was about to fall apart. Eggsy, who had always seemed quite smart, suddenly became at a loss, blinking his dazed eyes, looking very helpless.
Seeing the child like this, how could the teammates just ignore it? Ever since becoming the child's father, the teammates have been worrying about things endlessly. Even though he was still feeling sleepy, they all took out their phones to help the child check.
You don’t know until you see it, and you’ll be shocked when you see it!
"Eggsy, it seems that your phone number has been posted online!" Teammate Mahrez quickly handed his phone to Eggsy to see.
This is INS, someone posted Eggsy’s information.
Eggsy quickly took his teammate's phone and took a look. He even zoomed in on the photo and found that it looked like a formal printout with a fancy font. He seemed to have seen it somewhere before...
Eggsy couldn't remember where his qualifications were leaked for a moment. The child looked embarrassed and felt that the entire Internet was full of gossip and false information about him. He didn't know what to do.
At this moment, a voice rang out in the bus, which immediately gave Eggsy a sense of security.
"Hello, it's me. Contact the club's media relations department and make a statement to disclose Eggsy's own online account. Also tell them that the club will keep an eye on those who spread rumors and reserve the right to sue."
Mr. Ranieri did not hide it from everyone and directly made an order on the phone: "Yes, he is only 16 years old. As the guardian, the club certainly has the right to sue for him. After all, there is an image clause in his contract with the club."
All the players were about to smile when they saw Mr. Ranieri hang up the phone and make another call without stopping.
"Hello, I am the head coach of Eggsy's current club. Please check whether your school has leaked the information of your student Eggsy. Eggsy's personal information at your school has appeared on the Internet."
After saying this, Eggsy suddenly remembered why the picture of his leaked profile looked so familiar. This was the personal information he had asked his parents to fill out at school that day!
"We currently reserve all our rights and hope the school can give us a response as soon as possible."
After Mr. Ranieri finished making the two calls, he turned around and looked at Eggsy. There were many meanings in that look. Anyway, Eggsy felt that it was the kind of feeling that a landlord would have when he saw his own stupid son...
"What are you going to do next?" This was the first question Mr. Ranieri asked after calling Eggsy over. After all, the point was that Eggsy was harassing the child very seriously, and the child seemed to have no clue yet.
When Mr. Ranieri asked Eggsy this, he immediately thought:
Call the police? ...While it's necessary, it's obviously inappropriate.
Then endure it? Eggsy was unwilling to do that. Now someone was pretending to be him and talking to Mr. Modric. He didn't know how it would develop. He was afraid that the other party would make Mr. Modric think that he had some opinion about him.
It had been a long time since he had felt this nervous and dazed, not knowing what to do. Now he had no good ideas or clues.
Eggsy once again returned to the time when he first came on stage, and was confused as he looked at his phone whose screen had turned black and into a brick.
Seeing how anxious Eggsy was, the teammates around him didn't dare to speak or come over. Because this was Eggsy's personal matter, and it also affected their careers, if Eggsy didn't ask them, they wouldn't be able to come over and say anything.
What's more, Mr. Ranieri is teaching us.
Mr. Ranieri looked at Eggsy like this and reminded him: "You should find an agent."
Eggsy was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and thought for a long time, then whispered: "Where can I find it..." These words made Eggsy feel helpless, he had no family, parents, or any family members to trust.
Mr. Ranieri was stunned by this, forgetting that Eggsy was an orphan. But Mr. Ranieri really couldn't interfere, so he pointed behind Eggsy with his eyes.
Eggsy followed the direction of Mr. Ranieri's gaze, and finally figured out what it meant. He turned around and walked to the side of Vardy and Mahrez.
"Do you...have an agent?"
Vardy and Mahrez looked at each other. Both of them were a little embarrassed. The embarrassment was that before Eggsy came, most of the players in Leicester City were abandoned by various agents.
In fact, not all players have agents. For example, Messi’s agent was his father before, but he was replaced after something went wrong.
For example, Vardy's agent is his father. Because of his bad temper, few agents are willing to work with him, and finding his father is not financially feasible.
Vardy used to work and play professionally, and his financial situation really meant he couldn't afford a proper agent.
After all, agents work on a commission basis. The higher the value of a star, the more likely their agents will help them attend events and get commercial endorsements, and naturally the commission they take will be higher.
Therefore, the agent is linked to the star's own value. Eggsy looks very popular, but he has just entered the basketball world and become a professional.
For a team like Leicester City, there are older players and younger players with bad tempers, and everyone knows what Leicester City's results were in the first half of the season.
The good ones would have already been packaged and sold to other clubs by various agents, otherwise Leicester City would not have sold the club directly and packaged it for the Indonesian owner.
If Eggsy hadn’t come, it might be hard to say what opportunity Leicester City would have been waiting for.
"Hiss!" Vardy was about to say that he was his father's agent, but as soon as he opened his mouth, Mahrez stomped on him, causing him to hiss in pain.
Mahrez, however, spoke rationally: "Ours may not be suitable for you, Eggsy, you need a comprehensive guy now. Well, looking at what happened to you recently, you may need a lawyer."
However, Mahrez still gave Eggsy his agent's business card and explained that the agent was an Algerian immigrant who did not have many connections, but Mahrez trusted him very much.
Listening to the advice given by Mahrez, Eggsy also knew that what he said was very pertinent. There was probably no way to find Mahrez or any other player to help with this matter.
Fortunately, this farce ended quickly. After a series of operations by the media and legal departments of Leicester City Club, all the fake Eggsy accounts on various media were removed. And the official account clearly pointed out Eggsy's account.
They also released some highlights for Eggsy to promote him.
On the other hand, Ramos and Modric, who were watching the chaos of Eggsy on the Internet, also knew that they were probably encountering a fake 'Eggsy', but for Modric, this was quite incredible.
"How long has he been playing football? Less than 2 months, right?"
Ramos watched Modric talking to himself and remembered that Modric had told him that Eggsy was his apprentice.
"Almost. This little guy is pretty amazing. Someone is impersonating him so soon?"
Ramos can say this, but Modric can't. In fact, he is thinking whether Ramos has found the wrong person?
But if Ramos knew that he was so suspicious, he would probably be unhappy. So Modric didn't say it, but just shook his head and said, "It doesn't feel right, let's take a look?"
Then, in about half an hour, all the HOT news were about Eggsy.
The first one is that someone is impersonating Eggsy, and Eggsy has already called the police.
The second piece of information is that Eggsy’s personal information has been leaked, and the police are currently collecting criminal evidence against the leaker.
The third one followed closely with a bunch of speculations: Eggsy and Modric were actually familiar with each other!
Seeing this, Modric understood that all these things were caused by his rash approach and brought trouble to the little guy. But he also knew that now was definitely not a good time for him to come forward, because it would only make things more difficult to handle.
He would not blame Ramos either, after all, no one knew that the 'Eggsy' was actually a fake.
As for Eggsy, after knowing that his contact number and email address were exposed, he quickly got a new phone number and applied for a new email address, then logged into his account again. Seeing the background filled with so many messages that it almost crashed his phone, he still read through them one by one.
There was no information about Mr. Modric here, and I was unhappy at that time.
Mr. Modric did not take the initiative to look for him. Cagner was not sure whether Mr. Modric was angry, and he was even a little afraid to directly @ him.
How about testing it out? See if Mr. Modric is still willing to pay attention to me?
