Seeing Gu Ran’s charming smile, Evelin’s body trembled suddenly, and her chest rose and fell.

Gu Ran secretly said, "Oh no, oh no!" He just wanted to smile at Evelin as an encouragement to continue asking questions, but he didn't expect that his evil body would trigger the "Charming Smile" skill by itself! This, this, this...

Isn't this a reward for my damn body? This female reporter already admires me, so this is even more troublesome! Gu Ran quickly frowned.

But the seeds of love have been planted!

Evelin's eyes looked different when she looked at Gu Ran, with a hint of undisguised desire in them.

"Gu, I like you. I really like you so much."

Holy shit…

Gu Ran felt like he was having a headache.

Is the effect of Charming Smile +1 so strong?

It shouldn't be like this!

Could it be that my own charm has also increased due to my career advancement?

That is possible.

Skills are just enhancements, and self-improvement is also an improvement.

During the time when he led the team to win the national championship, his own charm must have reached its peak.

The effect of the previous Charming Smile +1 has been at least tripled if used these days! It seems that I have to use it with caution. Try not to smile randomly during this period...

After all, I am a serious person.

But then again, foreigners really say whatever is on their mind and never know what being subtle is.

Especially girls from southern England, they are so passionate and unrestrained.

Gu Ran quickly cleared his throat seriously, "Let's... continue."

"Okay." Evelyn brushed her golden hair, changed her stance, and held up the recording microphone in one hand.

There was no place to put my eyes! Gu Ran felt that the side effects of his physical condition were about to take effect!

Evelin smiled and continued to ask, "Gu, in today's final, you scored four goals by yourself, tying and surpassing the Missionaries. It was truly heroic. Your performance also conquered the fans in the stadium. So what do you think is the most critical point to achieve such a good performance?"

The most important thing is...

Gu Ran's mind is a mess now.

This time, the charming smile hurts the enemy by 800 and hurts oneself by 1,000!

Gu Ran finally concentrated his mind, but he still didn’t know how to answer Evelin’s question.

This question itself is not difficult, but how to describe it? I am at a loss for words! I really should find someone who writes online novels for free...

Gu Ran pondered for a long time, finally sighed secretly and shook his head.

——This time, it seems like it’s really over.

Evelin was shocked again! "I understand! What you meant by shaking your head is: nothing is the most critical! You must be saying that every minute and every second on the court is critical! Because everything is critical, nothing is not critical! Your super personal ability is the key, your teammates' hard work is also the key, and the coach's on-the-spot command and change of formation is also the key! You are a strong whole! Everyone is an indispensable part of this whole! What you want to say is that the victory belongs to the entire Bucks Steel Horns, right?"

Holy shit…

Dihua reporter! Evelyn, you really really...

I think you probably don’t need to use my pen, you can move it by yourself!

Gu Ran was so ecstatic that he almost couldn’t hold back and smiled at Evelin again.

Gu Ran quickly suppressed his smile and said calmly, "...That's right."

Evelyn's eyes were full of stars in admiration.

Evelin said excitedly, “Gu, you are so cool! I have never seen a man as cool as you! You are so brave on the court, and you are so domineering off the court! Although you don’t say much each time, I understand every word you say!”

Gu Ran thought to himself: You are a talent to be able to do this without saying a word to me! I admire you very much!

Evelin moved closer, leaning forward with her white face and asking, “Gu, next question, after winning the national championship and your personal Golden Boot Award, is there anyone you want to thank the most?”

...The person I want to thank the most right now is you! Gu Ran cleared his throat and said very rationally: "There are a lot."

Evelyn said excitedly, "I know it! You must want to thank your parents now, because they gave you life, physique, and intelligence. You must also want to thank your coach. Without your coach, you would not have the opportunity to become the core trump card of the team. You must also want to thank your teammates. They gave you team support and did the dirty work for you. You must also want to thank the fans who are here today and the fans who couldn't come. They gave you the passion and motivation to fight hard in adversity. Of course, the one you want to thank the most must be Southampton Club. Southampton Club discovered you very early and provided you with a generous professional contract, eliminating your worries. They also specially configured a dedicated team doctor and physiotherapist for you to ensure that you can quickly recover during the break between games...right?"

Gu Ran was so happy that he was going crazy! Evelin was so cute!

If Evelyn is the one to do the interviews in the future, then being interviewed will really be a very happy and stress-free thing!

Gu Ran resisted the urge to pick Evelin up, and nodded solemnly, “Yes.”

Evelin was so excited that her whole body was shaking slightly. “Ah, Gu, you are so cool! Did I just say that I like you? Then I will say it again! I really like men like you! You are much better than those impetuous, arrogant, ignorant and stupid British men!”

What the hell?

I always heard that French women hate French men the most, but I didn’t expect that British women also hate British men…

Gu Ran smiled secretly in his heart.

Evelyn calmed down her panting for a while and continued to ask questions, "So, after the final of this national competition, you will soon enter a new stage in your life - officially becoming a member of the Southampton Football Club. I know there are many Saints fans here, and they are all looking forward to seeing you put on the Saints jersey and compete in the English Football League One next season. But at the same time, there are also many Saints fans who are not from Southampton High School. They don't know you, and they have never seen you play football. What do you want to say to these Saints fans?"

Gu Ran shrugged and said lightly: "You know, it's just what you imagined."

Gu Ran was no longer nervous. After all, with a Dihua reporter like Evelin backing her up, she could turn the tide even without saying a word.

Evelyn squeezed her chest excitedly, "Great, Gu! I knew it! I knew you had the same idea as me! You must want to tell those Saints fans who don't know you yet that you are here! You are going to be their new king! You will use your strong personal strength to bring victory after victory to the Saints! You want to tell them that the top scorer in English Football League One next season will definitely be yours! You will lead the Saints to the Championship! And then to the Premier League! Oh! My God! You think exactly like me!"

Evelin was so excited that she almost rolled her eyes!

Holy shit…

Gu Ran was completely stunned! This, this, this is too big! It’s too big! Gu Ran wanted to take out something to plug Evelin’s mouth!

If these words were published, the entire Southampton club would explode, right? ? Although I am young and frivolous, I am not so arrogant! Gu Ran hurriedly said: "No, no, no, Evelin, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that -"

Evelyn asked: "Don't you want to bring victory to the Saints? Or do you not want to be the top scorer? Or do you not want the Saints to be promoted to the Championship and return to the Premier League?"

Gu Ran said: "I think so..."

Evelin stomped her feet coquettishly, her chest trembling three times, “Isn’t that enough? I didn’t say anything wrong!”

However, "thinking in your heart" and "speaking out loud" are two different things!

Forget it, just write it as you like.

Anyway, that's exactly what happened. I went to Southampton Club not to be a side dish. I really wanted to be the new king of the Saints and to be the top scorer in English League One!

The boasts we make now will definitely come true next season.

...Gu Ran smiled confidently.

Evelin's body trembled again and again! Damn it...

My damn body, why did it automatically use the charming smile again! ?

What a sin!!! Gu Ran rubbed his face, “…Evelin, the staff is clearing the place, and we should go back to the locker room, or… shall we just stop here this time?”

Evelin said quickly, “Don’t! I have one last question! Just one last question!”

How can I refuse this? Gu Ran said helplessly: "Okay, then come on."

Evelin said happily, “Gu! You’re so nice! My last question is, how are you going to celebrate tonight?”

Sophie and Maria came back at the same time, and as a responsible man, he could not favor one over the other.

So, how else to celebrate?

Gu Ran shrugged, "I need to... manage my time well."

Evelin’s eyes widened in shock, “Oh my God! Gu, you mean, you don’t want to celebrate, you still want to train?”

Gu Ran said with a stiff upper lip: "...Well, yes, I guess so."

Evelin asked again, "What specific training?"

Gu Ran continued stubbornly, "It's nothing more than dribbling the ball, passing, passing, passing repeatedly, and finally shooting."

Evelin asked in shock, “Is the training so intense? Do you still have the stamina?”

Gu Ran said: "I'm fine."

Evelyn was in adoration!

Gu Ran said: "Okay, I should go now--"

Evelin said quickly: “Gu, I have another request! I want to take a photo with you!”

Gu Ran said: "Oh, of course there is no problem with this."

"Thank you! Gu, you are so nice!"

Evelin smiled at the camera and said, “Gu, smile, smile!”

Can't laugh, laughing at this time is really not just a matter of hurting yourself! Gu Ran forced a smile.

Snap!

Evelin pressed the camera with satisfaction.

After the photo was taken, Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave when Evelin quickly said, “Gu, I have another request. Please sign an autograph for me!”

This is not a big deal...

Gu Ran took the signature pen Evelin handed over and asked, “Where’s the paper?”

"I didn't bring any paper, so I'll just sign here."

A reporter, you didn't bring any paper? Do you want to hear this? Do you believe it yourself? Even a pure-hearted person like me doesn't believe it!

However, reason still made Gu Ran hold back.

More importantly, he suddenly felt that there were four bright eyes looking towards him from somewhere in the stands...

Gu Ran handed the pen back to Evelin, “Well, goodbye.”

Evelin quickly added, “Gu, I have one last request.”

Holy shit…

You're going too far.

If you keep asking like this, I'll just give myself to you!

Then I heard Evelin say, “My dad is a big fan of yours, and he wants to invite you to his house for dinner.”

Gu Ran said quickly: "Thank you for your kindness, old schoolmate, but... I'm too busy recently, let's meet some other day."

Evelin smiled and said, “Okay, okay! Then it’s settled, let’s leave a contact number and make an appointment another day!”

Gu Ran: ...

Foreigners really don't understand the Chinese way of communication.

"Take a day" means... politely decline! But foreigners will think it really is "Take a day".

Gu Ran reluctantly took out his cell phone and exchanged phone numbers with Evelin.

After getting Gu Ran’s phone number, Evelin let Gu Ran leave contentedly.

At this time, the security personnel of Millennium Stadium also began to clear the field, and other players of the Bucks Steelhorns also walked towards the player tunnel holding the trophy.

When Gu Ran was the first to walk back to the player tunnel, he saw two people already waiting for him in the tunnel.

One of them was Chelsea's Emenalo, the other was an older guy in a blue Manchester United blazer.

Seeing Gu Ran walking into the player tunnel, Emenalo immediately came up to him warmly and took the initiative to extend his hand to shake hands with Gu Ran, "Hi Gu! Congratulations! Your performance today was amazing!"

Without waiting for Gu Ran to reply, the old man in the Manchester United sports jacket got in front of Emenalo and shook Gu Ran's hand before Emenalo. "Hello, Gu Ran, I'm Jim Lawlor, the chief scout of Manchester United. You may not know me, but you must know Dong Fangzhuo. I brought him to Manchester United! Sir Alex Ferguson of Manchester United is paying attention to you. Are you willing to join Sir Alex Ferguson's team and become his new generation of Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo?"

Holy shit…

As expected, he is the chief scout of Manchester United! He has such a strong impact right from the start! He really knows how to talk!

Gu Ran himself had to admit that he was indeed moved! The next Dong Fangzhuo, the future Beckham and Ronaldo! Just thinking about it makes one's blood boil! Fortunately, Gu Ran is not a child, and he will not make a decision based on passion.

Gu Ran smiled politely at Lawler, "Hello, Mr. Lawler, nice to meet you, and very happy to have the attention of Mr. Ferguson, the legendary coach of Manchester United."

Emenalo rushed to say: "Gu, Chelsea is your destination. Chelsea is also the first wealthy club to pay attention to you?"

Lawler sneered, "You're talking about a big club in front of us, Manchester United? Let me ask you, Chelsea, how many FA Cup titles have you won? How many top league titles have you won? How many Champions League titles have you won?"

Emenalo said without giving in: "Some clubs are always immersed in past achievements, but we are different at Chelsea. We are always moving forward!"

Lawler responded, "Without Abu, you're nothing."

Emenalo said bluntly: "Without Ferguson, you are second-rate."

The two scouts started to quarrel right in front of Gu Ran, not giving each other any face at all!

Gu Ran said quickly, "You two! You two! Everyone, stop arguing. I really appreciate the attention of both clubs to me. However, I have already signed a contract with Southampton, so during this period of time, I just want to fulfill my first professional contract in my life. We will talk about the future later."

Lawler immediately smiled and said, "Of course, we at Manchester United can wait until the winter transfer window opens. I believe that by then, Mr. Gu Ran will have a better understanding of the professional league and will be more eager to step onto a bigger stage. Please remember that Manchester United's door is open to you. If you want to talk about this, I will do my best to provide you with the best service."

Gu Ran said politely: "Thank you, Mr. Lawler."

Emenalo also said: "Gu, we at Chelsea will do our best to bring you to Stamford Bridge. You don't need to worry about trivial matters. Just focus on playing well in the first half of the English League One season. Oh, by the way, I also want to thank you for the White Queen poster you gave me. My daughter was so happy. I will never forget your friendship to me."

Hearing this, Lawler suddenly felt a little jealous.

Lawler didn't expect that Emenalo was so secretive. He even said in the stands that he was not familiar with Gu Ran, but in fact he had received gifts from Gu Ran.

Manchester United needs to work harder!

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you both again for your kindness. Now, I'll go back to the locker room first. Goodbye."

Gu Ran nodded to Lawler and Emenalo respectively, then walked towards the home team's locker room without looking back.

Lawler looked at Gu Ran's figure, his eyes full of desire.

Emenalo looked at Gu Ran's figure, his eyes full of desire.

After Gu Ran's figure disappeared at the door of the locker room, Lawler and Emenalo withdrew their gazes, glared at each other, and snorted coldly at the same time.
