The next day at noon.

Gu Ran woke up from Annie's gentle embrace.

After a night of storms and waves...Gu Ran is now starving.

Anne next to her had messy hair, half of her maid outfit was still hanging on her waist, the blush on her face had not yet faded, and she was sleeping as sweetly as a baby.

On the floor, there were torn white silk, as well as the maid's headdress and bib.

Thinking back to last night when Anne wiped from one end of the window to the other...

So cool...

Gu Ran gently pulled his arm out from under Annie's neck and kissed her pretty face lightly.

Annie hummed coquettishly, turned over, aimed her waist and hips at Gu Ran, and continued to sleep soundly.

This person is really pure by nature but born with a charming side! Gu Ran couldn't wait to...

Forget it, let’s eat first.

It’s a two-day holiday, and Annie can’t run away, so she will continue in the evening.

Gu Ran controlled his body, stretched himself, let out a long breath, then left the bedroom and went to the kitchen to reward his young body... with a bucket of instant noodles.

At this time, the most convenient thing is to eat instant noodles.

Of course, he didn’t just eat instant noodles. Gu Ran also cut a plate of cooked beef tendon and a bucket of milk to ensure that his body got enough nutrition.

While eating lunch, Gu Ran opened his laptop and checked his emails.

There are tens of thousands of new emails in my mailbox! Most of them are from GR fans, and there are also a lot of selfies and short videos...

Tsk tsk…

Too explicit!

——Gu Ran was embarrassed to read it! In addition to the crazy fans of the GR fan club, there were also several emails from amateur football clubs.

These amateur clubs asked Gu Ran if he was interested in joining their clubs and made a round of offers to Gu Ran - the highest one offering a weekly salary of £100.

This is the highest sincerity of an amateur club.

Gu Ran smiled and replied politely: Sorry, I won’t go.

There were also a few letters from freelance scouts and football agents.

In the letter, they boasted about their abilities in various ways, as if as long as Gu Ran obeyed their arrangements, they could get Gu Ran to Real Madrid or Barcelona, ​​and let him stand shoulder to shoulder with Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

Gu Ran just smiled and didn't even reply to the letter.

If Gu Ran pays any attention to such a person, he will lose.

Of course, brokers are indeed necessary.

Agents can help players deal with many things that are inconvenient for players to handle themselves - such as bargaining with the club on their behalf.

Players do not have professional advantages in professional contracts and are easily confused by the terms in the contract. Moreover, if the players personally go out to bargain with the club, it would be a very unpresentable thing and they may also be morally blackmailed by the club through emotional means.

A good agent can not only help players negotiate professional contracts, but also help players manage investments, promote players' popularity, secure commercial resources, and even help deal with negative rumors and eliminate adverse effects, allowing players to focus on playing football.

And a bad agent... is full of deception, trickery, and bloodsucking.

Therefore, choosing an agent is as important as choosing a club.

Gu Ran has just touched the threshold of professionalism and has not yet officially entered the ranks of professional players. At this time, it is difficult to meet a really good agent.

Gu Ran was not in a hurry and just took his time to look for it.

The first priority now is to finalize his first professional contract.

Gu Ran spent some time before he finally found the internal intelligence sent by the school team from these messy emails:

On June 22, in the semi-finals of the National High School Championship, Southampton High School's Stags Steelhorns will face Rugby School's Golden Fleece at the neutral venue, Cardiff's Millennium Stadium.

Holy crap!!!

Seeing this line of information, Gu Ran's eyes widened instantly! Old rival! Rugby Golden Fleece!

Big rivals! The last time the two teams met was in the final round of the group stage, at Southampton High School’s home ground!

At that time, the arrogant Rugby Golden Fleece felt that they had a sure win, so they only sent out a substitute lineup. As a result, at the last moment when the score was 2:2, Gu Ran kicked the Golden Fleece with a 25-meter-long scimitar and shaved it into a silver bald head!

Gavin, the main defensive midfielder of the Golden Fleece, was suspended after receiving a red card for tackling Gu Ran!

For the Golden Fleece Team, which has won the national championship several times, being defeated by a weak team is a huge shame!

Therefore, it is conceivable that when they meet in the semi-finals this time, the Golden Fleece team will definitely go for crazy revenge!

As for the Milwaukee Bucks...

The mentality will be completely different in this match against the Golden Fleece Team!

That’s right, during the previous group stage, the Bucks Steel Horns team was not only in poor shape, but also had poor coordination among themselves. They had not yet completely centered around Gu Ran, and they didn’t dare to think that they could really defeat the Golden Fleece team.

However, after the experience of the knockout rounds, the entire Bucks Steel Horns team grew rapidly!

——This is exactly the growth potential brought by the competition! This time, the Bucks Steel Horns will definitely not be scared!

This is a civil war between the two teams in Group E, and it is also a duel to decide who is the real king!

Aren't the Golden Fleece Team dissatisfied? Well, here comes the chance... We'll defeat you thoroughly this time!

Gu Ran's eyes were full of desire for battle! According to internal intelligence, Gavin, the main defensive midfielder of the Golden Fleece team, has ended his red card suspension and can play in the semi-finals.

Gu Ran knew very well that Gavin was a very sinister guy! If Gavin started the game, he would definitely bite him to death and not let go.

By then, all kinds of disgusting and dirty tricks will surely be used one after another, and there may even be ruthless and fatal moves.

Amateur competitions are not as standardized as professional competitions. There are no live broadcasts, and the referees are lax in their calls. Broken legs and bleeding are common.

Especially in crucial games and grudge matches, we have to guard against the opponent's rough fouls.

Therefore, the next focus should be on physique, and the passive star skill of the Tin Man should be upgraded to at least +3!

There are still 6 days left before the competition - with Annie here, it's enough to save up about 10 talent points.

Gu Ran studied the information for another ten minutes. By the time he finished, he had finished his instant noodles and beef.

Gu Ran closed the computer, and while Annie was still sleeping, he quietly went out and drove to the Graup Gym.

"Oh my God! He's coming! He's really coming!"

As soon as Gu Ran walked into the gym, all the strong men and beautiful women in the gym surrounded him.

"Gu! Hello, hello!"

"Gu! I went to watch the game yesterday, you were awesome!"

"I never thought that I would work out and train my waist with you!"

"Gu, your long-range shot with the Cloud-piercing Arrow and the Crescent-Moon Scimitar are so fucking amazing! From now on, I am your fan!"

"Gu, tell me, you will go to the Saints Club, right? Right!!!"

"Hi, hello Gu, I noticed you from the first day you came to the gym. I'm a professional model from the University of Southampton. This is my phone number, be sure to call me."

“Gu…”

Oh shit!

Gu Ran was completely dumbfounded.

Unexpectedly, a game for amateur high school students has made them a star in the hearts of the locals! Southampton High School’s first semi-final honor since its founding, its influence in the local area is truly unprecedented!

I, I, I, I just come here to get the results of the training for free. You guys are so enthusiastic, how can I get it for free?

"Gu! Give me an autograph!"

A sturdy man pushed aside the others and stood in front of Gu Ran shirtless. "Sign on my chest."

Looking at the palm-thick heart-protecting hair, Gu Ran's mouth twitched slightly, "... Sorry, I remembered that I have something important to do at home and I have to go back quickly. I can only sign my name."

Upon hearing this, more than thirty strong men in the gym immediately started scrambling for it with red faces.

"Gu is mine!"

"I asked him to sign for me first!"

"If you can't bench press 100 kg, get out!"

"If you can't run 5 kilometers in less than 20 minutes, get out!"

"If you are shorter than 20 centimeters, get out!"

This last sentence made all the strong men present stay with their necks stiffened.

In the end... Gu Ran chose the female model from the University of Southampton who had just handed him the business card.

The female model is excited to take off her sports shorts——

Gu Ran waved his hand quickly, "No, no, I'll just sign on your clothes."

Gu Ran then wrote his name on the elastic clothes.

Other fitness gurus were so envious that white bubbles were falling all over the floor!

...Fuck, this is actually possible.

Gu Ran quickly concentrated his mind and quickly picked up 9 physical fitness and strength training bubbles.

These bubbles plus the remaining bubbles will automatically be exchanged for 1 talent point.

Gu Ran did not hesitate and directly added this talent point to the "Iron Man".

Man of Steel: Tin Man +3! This way, the chance of getting hurt is even smaller.

"Thank you." The female model from the University of Southampton who got Gu Ran's autograph threw a wink at Gu Ran, "Gu, I'm free tonight~"

Gu Ran took a look at the slightly skinny figure of the female model, and then said righteously: "I'm sorry, I'm a serious person."

After saying that, Gu Ran left the Graup Gym, leaving behind a room full of screaming fitness enthusiasts.

It feels so good to be a serious person! After driving home.

Anne is still sleeping...

Taking advantage of this time, Gu Ran returned to his room, locked the door, activated the hand-drawing technique, and concentrated on hand-drawing the script.

Gu Ran arranged for Catwoman to perform the splits that they had experienced yesterday, as well as many other professional dance postures that they couldn’t name.

To strengthen Catwoman, there is no need to design too many plots, just make the audience remember this character.

The method Gu Ran adopted was very simple. He just had to let the character of Catwoman grasp one principle - be as charming as possible.

After hand-drawing for more than two hours, Gu Ran suddenly heard a system prompt sound of "light" in his mind.

...Annie woke up! And her depression was triggered again! Gu Ran immediately put the script away and quickly ran to Annie's room.

"Annie! I'm here! I'm coming!"

"Gu!" Annie threw herself into Gu Ran's arms desperately, sobbing with a sad face: "I just had a nightmare. I dreamed that you became a big football star, and I was just an old actress who was out of date and unknown to anyone, and then you didn't want me anymore..."

Holy shit…

Gu Ran quickly wiped away Annie's tears, "Annie, this is just a dream. Look, I'm right beside you. Besides, you won't be out of fashion. You will be able to return to Hollywood soon. You will soon become a superstar that everyone will pay attention to. You will soon win an Oscar."

She won't win an Oscar just by starring in a sci-fi movie like Batman 3, but after helping Anne increase her popularity, I'll take the time to hand-draw a script for an art film that can win her the Hollywood Best Actress award. With the contrast between the two performances, Anne will basically be able to win an Oscar.

Annie chuckled, "Hate it, you're coaxing me again."

Gu Ran said seriously: "What I said is true. I, Gu Ran, never coax women - in a few days, I will give you a surprise."

Annie was stunned: "You, you... want to wear a maid outfit too?"

Oh shit!

Gu Ran patted Annie's little head, "What are you thinking about in your little head! It's not that kind of surprise!"

Annie stuck out her tongue, "I thought...So, what's your surprise?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Is it still a surprise if I tell you? You will know when the time comes. I promise you will like it very, very, very much."

Annie's pretty face turned red, and she leaned obediently in Gu Ran's arms, and said coquettishly, "Hate it~ Can you give it to me today?"

Gu Ran felt numb inside, "In a few days, at the latest after the next competition, you will know the surprise."

Gu Ran could already imagine in his mind Annie's excited expression when she saw the hand-drawn script of "Batman 3: The Dark Knight Rises".

Once Annie gets excited, hehe, she will definitely become more automatic.

Gu Ran took the opportunity to concentrate his mind and collected the talent points dropped by Annie. He patted Annie's waist and hips and said, "Okay, okay, you must be hungry. I'll go cook for you. What do you want to eat?"

Annie said happily, "Great! I want to eat Scottish noodles! I want two full bowls!"

well……

Annie, you haven't eaten anything really good...

But anyway, Anne's depression has improved significantly.

It is estimated that within a week or two, Anne will be able to completely get rid of her depression.

...I have paid a lot!

When Gu Ran thought that Annie would be leaving soon, he felt a little reluctant.

Alas, after Annie left, who will fill in... ahem, who can still give me a star talent point a day? Who can?

Gu Ran rubbed Annie's hair lovingly, "Okay, I'll make whatever you want to eat. Just lie down for a while and have a good rest."

Annie clung to Gu Ran's neck like a koala, "No, carry me over there, I want to watch you do it."

Gu Ran said: "I'm cooking behind your back, do you want to tire me to death?"

Gu Ran smiled wickedly.

Annie said coquettishly, "Don't laugh! I, I, I, I didn't talk like this before! I used to be a serious girl! It's only since I met you that I became like this!"

Gu Ran sighed, "I used to be a serious boy."

Annie patted Gu Ran and said, "You are not like that! You are the one who led me astray! Damn Gu Ran! You made me fat, and you made me unable to walk. If you don't carry me, I will be angry! Humph!"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Okay, okay, I'll carry you there. Who told me to pamper you so much?"

Only then did Annie lie on Gu Ran's back contentedly.

…

The other side.

After some psychological preparation, Emenalo took a deep breath and knocked on the door of the CEO's office of Chelsea Club.

In seconds, he would be facing the most powerful woman in all of Chelsea.
