This press release is written with great passion.

At the beginning, Linda disguised herself and came to the presidential room of the Ritz Hotel, but she ran into Sister NO who was also there to find a man.

The two women tore their clothes and fought each other over a disagreement, and the fashion items worth tens of thousands of dollars were torn to pieces.

At the critical moment of the fight between the two women, Gu Ran, a Chinese player from Southampton Club, appeared in his nightgown.

Seeing this, Gu Ran was stunned.

What the hell is this? ? ? ! ! Why am I included in this? !

Gu Ran rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not seeing things!

Oh shit!

Am I the man that Linda and Sister NO are fighting for?

I am the winner in life that I envy? This is... eating melons on my head?! How come I don’t know about this good thing? I just have a little bit of fame, and I already have a scandal?

And the rumored targets are Liverpool's boss Linda and Chelsea's female boss No? This, this, this, is too abominable!

It would be fine if it was really like what was written in the news, but I clearly haven’t come into contact with Linda and Sister NO yet! What a blessing!

No, I have to see the rest of the story.

Gu Ran continued reading:

Linda and Sister NO in the news release asked Gu Ran to make a choice. Gu Ran thought about it, opened his pajamas, took out... a coin, and asked them to choose the front and back sides to determine the order...

Below that, there is a line of small print: If you want to know what happens next, please look forward to tomorrow’s follow-up report.

Gu Ran almost vomited blood! Fuck! He lost at the critical moment! Do you have any shame?

What the hell, I have to follow up just to read my own gossip?!

Isn't the plot of hiding coins in the crotch too interesting? Damn it! I want to complain to The Sun! I want to send razor blades to the author!!! Gu Ran cursed the author 18 times in his heart, then angrily put away The Sun, picked up a lot of mineral water, got back to the car, and drove home.

If you calm down and think about it, it’s actually nothing.

Once you become a minor celebrity, this kind of scandal is bound to appear from time to time.

You can't prevent it even if you want to.

And I don't have the energy to fight a lawsuit.

Anyway, no one would take this kind of tabloid gossip seriously...right?

In fact, what is really hateful is the interruption of the chapter. Just when you are enjoying it, it is gone.

Well, just focus on playing football.

——When Gu Ran returned home, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening.

Gu Ran cooked a meal for himself, took a shower after eating, and took a walk on the beach. He did not return to the dune villa until around 10 o'clock in the evening.

Before calling home, Gu Ran briefly checked his bank account.

Some time ago, the World Cup betting made a total profit of more than 5 million pounds.

After becoming a professional player, you have to stay away from gambling.

Although players are not prohibited from betting on matches of non-affiliated clubs in the UK, it is better not to do such things again.

In the beginning, besides making the first pot of gold to make himself live comfortably, the purpose of gambling was also to test whether the information gap after rebirth was accurate.

Now that everything is back on track, that is completely unnecessary.

For Gu Ran now, only playing football can bring him the pleasant feeling of dopamine secretion.

——And love.

——Well, there’s also eating your own melon.

——And defending Sterling alone.

——And beat Kawai Yuichi.

——There are also free talent points and skill bubbles.

And, and, and…

If you count it this way, there are really a lot of fun things.

Gu Ran smiled and then transferred 3 million pounds to his father's account through the international bank's quick remittance service.

Fast remittance can be received within 15 minutes, but the handling fee is very high.

But compared to £3 million, that's nothing.

After the transfer, Gu Ran took a deep breath, prepared himself mentally, and then called home.

At this time, it is just after 6 o'clock in the morning in China, and our hardworking parents have already gotten up and had morning tea.

"Hello?"

A deep and familiar voice sounded on the other end of the line.

Gu Ran couldn't hide his excitement and shouted, "Dad...it's me!"

"It's Ah Zi!" Father Gu's voice was calm but with a hint of joy. "You haven't called home for a long time? Are you short of rice?"

Before Gu Ran could answer, Gu's mother snatched the phone from him, "Son! Just tell me if you need rice! It must be very hard for you to be alone abroad, right? Have you been bullied out there? It's very chaotic abroad, you must take care of yourself and stay safe! When will you come back? Mom misses you!"

Gu Ran's eyes were instantly filled with tears.

No matter where you are, your parents' love will always reach you.

The family's conditions were obviously not very good, just an ordinary working class family, but when it came to supporting Gu Ran's studies abroad, my parents never complained.

Gu Ran smiled and said, "...Mom, everything is fine here. It's really good!"

Mother Gu sighed and said, "Son, I know you only report good news and not bad news."

Gu Ran quickly explained: "Mom, this is really not the case! I'm really, really fine..."

"Wow, my son has it so hard," Gu's mother cried, "If you can't do it, just come back. The development in China is not worse than that in foreign countries now."

Father Gu grabbed the phone and said, "Son, let your mother calm down first. Dad wants to ask you, you should have graduated from high school over there, right? Have you chosen a college? Do you have a chance of being admitted? If you need money, just tell me. If not, I'll grit my teeth and ask your uncle..."

These words instantly triggered Gu Ran's memories of his previous life.

My eldest uncle and second uncle's families are well-off. In my previous life before rebirth, I was admitted to a foreign university. The annual tuition and accommodation fees were 10,000 pounds, 40,000 for 4 years, plus food, clothing and some basic social activities, it would cost at least 50,000 or 60,000 pounds.

In his previous life, my father really went to his eldest uncle and second uncle to borrow money, but they refused on the grounds that they had to use the money to repair the ancestral hall of the clan.

Renovating the ancestral hall is a big deal here. Anyone with a bit of respect in the clan will compete to donate money. The more you donate, the higher you will rank.

My eldest uncle's family donated 150,000 yuan and my second uncle's family donated 160,000 yuan.

But Gu Ran's family was helpless and did not donate a penny.

Gu Ran's father is a small technical supervisor in a machinery processing factory in the village, while his mother manages a small convenience store in her home.

To say we are poor, we are not really that poor.

From childhood to adulthood, Gu Ran had everything that other children had.

But he is not really rich. He even needs to borrow money to pay for his university studies abroad.

Renovating the ancestral hall is a major event that brings honor to the family, so every branch and family does their best.

Those who donate the most will have their names engraved first on the monument, and their names will also be recorded in the family tree for important events. They can even burn the first incense stick to their ancestors when the ancestral hall is opened to enjoy their blessings alone.

Mr. Gu also wanted to leave his name on the donation, but considering the cost of his son's studies abroad, he had no choice but to give up.

In the end, the eldest uncle and the second uncle did not lend the money to Gu's father to go to foreign university. In the end, Gu's father and mother mortgaged their convenience store to the bank and used the loan to support Gu Ran's education abroad.

…This was all before my rebirth.

Whenever Gu Ran thought back to the past, he felt upset.

This incident also became a knot in Gu Ran's heart in his previous life.

And now, we can finally change all that!

Gu Ran took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Dad, no need. First of all, I don't plan to go to college--"

Mr. and Mom Gu on the other end of the phone were stunned.

Father Gu said sternly, "Son, don't joke like this with your parents."

Mother Gu wiped her tears and said, "Wow, wow, wow, I knew my son must have had a very hard time abroad! The pressure is too great!"

Father Gu taught him earnestly, "Son, how can you not take the college entrance examination? Your parents saved money to send you to high school abroad, wasn't it so that you could easily take the college entrance examination abroad, and then come back with a golden body to find a job? You have never been in society, you don't know how important social classes are! Your parents don't expect you to make a lot of money or have a great future, but you have to be better than your parents in the future, right? If you give up like this, are you worthy of us?"

Mother Gu cried, "My son must be homesick! Since my son doesn't want to study abroad, let him come back! Son, don't worry, mom agrees that you don't want to go to a foreign university, but come back to China to take the entrance exam for a domestic university. Mom believes that with your ability, it will be easy for you to get into a domestic university."

In the past, when Gu Ran heard his father scolding or his mother nagging, he would definitely interrupt impatiently.

However, after experiencing a lifetime, Gu Ran had a deeper understanding of his parents' love.

At this time, Gu Ran was not angry because of his parents' scolding and nagging, but just felt the warmth of family love.

Gu Ran even wanted to hear his father scold him a few more times and his mother nag him a few more times.

After his parents finished speaking, Gu Ran smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, not only do I not want to go to a foreign university, I also don't want to go to a domestic university."

Mother Gu asked worriedly, "Son, did something happen to you abroad?"

Father Gu scolded him on the phone, "Your eldest uncle's daughter, your cousin Yingying, is now a senior executive of a foreign company, earning more than 10 yuan a month! Your second uncle's son, your cousin Awei, just graduated from college and is dating the daughter of our village chief. He will soon inherit ten buildings. I don't need you to compete with them, but they are all moving up! Look at you, you don't even want to go to college? You bastard! How can I hold my head up when I worship my ancestors?"

Mother Gu scolded Father Gu on the other end of the phone, "What are you yelling about? The child must have encountered trouble abroad! Why do you care about whether he can have face during the ancestor worship? Son! Listen to me, come back first, relax after you return home, and we can discuss future matters later."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, can you please listen to me first?"

Father Gu said angrily, "Humph! You bastard! What else do you have to say? I don't have a son as useless as you!"

The harsher Gu's father scolded, the more Gu Ran wanted to laugh.

Especially when he anticipated the change in the old couple's expressions when they saw the transfer text message, Gu Ran wanted to laugh even more.

Gu Ran cleared his throat and announced solemnly: "Mom and Dad, please listen to me first. If the purpose of going to college is to find a decent job in this class-fixing society... then I already have one."

"I have signed a contract with Southampton and I have also obtained a work permit for the UK. I am now a professional football player. My profession is playing football. After the start of the new season, I will represent Southampton in the English Premier League."

Father and Mother Gu on the other end of the phone were stunned! This news was too sudden and too surprising for them!

They still know their own son well. Although their son is not a top student, he has been excellent in both character and study since he was a child. He likes to go into the small room and lock the door to do homework when he has nothing to do...

How did he become a professional football player all of a sudden? Father Gu took a breath of worry, "Azi, you haven't... been exposed to something you shouldn't have been exposed to, and your brain has gone bad?"

Oh shit!

Gu Ran quickly said, "Dad, what are you talking about? I didn't do that! I'm really a professional player! I'm telling you, I'm very strong!"

Gu Ran was at a loss for words for a moment and didn't know how to explain his strength.

Alas! I should have brought Evelin with me at this time!

Evelin just needs to hold back! "Asshole!" Father Gu cursed, "How can you play football? How much money can you make playing football? Can you make 10 a month like your cousin Yingying? Can you find a girlfriend like your brother Awei and inherit ten buildings in the future?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Yes."

Father Gu said angrily: "...you bastard! You're still talking back! What do you have?"

Gu Ran said calmly: "My current weekly salary at Southampton is 2,600 pounds, which is exactly 100,000 yuan per month in China. Add to that the team bonuses, league ranking bonuses, image rights and so on, and it shouldn't be a problem to average 17 or 18 yuan a month."

That’s still a conservative statement!

Gu Ran hasn't told his parents yet that he still has the box office revenue from Batman 2 in his hands!

"Also, as for the ten buildings, I don't have them now, but I have my own sea view villa on the beach in Southampton, and a Cayenne that drives really fast."

Father Gu sighed, "... Crazy, crazy! Okay, even if you really want to play football, but you are a loser who has just started playing football. How can you own a car and a house abroad in just two or three months, and earn 17 or 18 yuan a month? You are really crazy!"

Mother Gu cried, "I told you, my son must have a brain problem! It's all your fault. You sent him to study in a dangerous place abroad when he was fine! Now look what happened! You have to compensate my son!"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, I know you can't accept this kind of thing for a while, and I can understand it. But I'm really not crazy. I'm really a professional player. I really can make 170,000 or 180,000 a month - and it will be even more in the future. At Southampton High School, they call me Chinese Dad, and at the club, they call me the Star of Hope. When I play football, they all stand up and cheer for me, and shout my name desperately."

"Oh, by the way, I just transferred 3 million pounds to your account, Dad. Mine was a quick transfer with an automatic exchange rate. You should be able to receive 28 million domestic money soon."

"28 million?" Gu's father asked angrily, "Why don't you brag about transferring 200 million to me?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Yes, don't worry."

Father Gu was so angry that he was shaking all over. "You bastard! There's no hope!"

Mother Gu sobbed, "Son, please come back soon. I will sell everything I have to take you to the best mental hospital here for treatment."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Dad, you don't have to go to the factory anymore. We'll open our own company. Mom, you don't have to envy other landlady. Give me another six months, and I'll let you collect the rent even if you don't want to!"

Father Gu said in despair: "Alright, alright, come back soon, and have your mother take you to the hospital when you come back! It's better to come back at night, I'm afraid it will be embarrassing for my relatives to see me!"

Mother Gu cried and said, "Son, I feel so bad for you! Come back soon. Do you have money for the plane ticket? I still have some money. I will transfer it back to you right away."

Gu Ran sighed helplessly, "Mom and Dad, I wanted to get along with you as a good son... but in the end I got disbelief. Okay, I'll be honest. I'm actually... richer, more powerful, more respectable, and more respected than I just told you. Those foreigners adore me like crazy, and those female foreigners throw themselves at me... I'm so fed up. I don't even dare to show my face when I go out, for fear that I'll be recognized and cause a sensation in the whole city."

Father Gu shouted angrily, "Come back soon! I'll break your legs!"

Ding ding ding! Just then, Gu Lao's father's cell phone rang with a text message alert.

Father Gu opened the text message angrily and then he was stunned.

This is a bank account arrival text message.

The text message clearly stated that an international remittance had been received, and the remittance amount was a series of exaggerated numbers with both zeros and integers! Father Gu stared at it for a long time, his eyes were blurry, and he couldn't count how many digits there were!

Father Gu rubbed his eyes, still feeling that he couldn't see clearly, and then handed the phone to Mother Gu with trembling hands, "My blood pressure is a little high, can you take a look at what's written on it?"

"Son, look how angry you made your dad..." Mother Gu took the phone and looked at it. The next second, she collapsed to the ground! Father Gu asked in a trembling voice, "How many digits are there?"

"7, 7... No! 8!" Even Mother Gu's voice changed!

"My ancestors..." Father Gu and Mother Gu also collapsed together! "How much is eight digits?"

"I don't know. I've never seen such a large number in my life..."

On the other end of the phone, Gu Ran smiled calmly and said, "Don't count, it's just over 28 million."

Father Gu asked excitedly, "Azi...what you just said...is it true?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Of course, I've always told you that what I said is true."

Mother Gu asked, "Son, are we dreaming?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "The money has arrived, how can you not believe it? Dad, go to the bank and withdraw 1 million yuan to cover the cost of repairing the ancestral hall. If there is any left, rebuild the ancestral tombs of grandpa, great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, and all our ancestors. I want them to put your name first!"

"Also, Mom, I want to open an investment company in your name, and you will be the chairman. Of course, you don't need to take care of anything. You can just drink tea, play cards, and visit new real estate projects every day."

When Father Gu heard this, he said quickly, "Son... I didn't know what you meant... No, what I meant was that what I said to you was too impulsive, don't take it to heart... Can I be the chairman of our investment company? I used to be a leader in the factory, so I have more experience than your mother in this area."

Mother Gu said excitedly, "It doesn't matter who takes the position! Son! I just thought you had a mental breakdown due to something that happened abroad, but it turns out you're fine! This is great, it's better than having me be the chairman of the board! Since you really want to be a professional player, your parents will definitely support you. In addition, your father and I will not touch this money. Your parents will save it for you in case you have no money to spend after you retire. Also, in the future, we will use this money to marry you a wife in style!"

Gu Ran said quickly, "Mom! You're talking too far ahead! Don't worry about me getting married! I really just want to play football now! Just spend the money I give you as you like, I'll give it to you every month in the future! Dad, let mom be the chairman, and you can be the vice chairman."

"Ah, Dad is usually very kind to you! It's just that my tone was a little harsh just now! Look at you, why are you still holding a grudge against Dad?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Dad, it all depends on your performance in the future. If you don't perform well... you won't even be able to be the vice chairman."

Father Gu said quickly, "Dad will definitely perform well! Dad will let you see what it means to love what you do. Dad will definitely make our investment company bigger and stronger for you! Create more glory!"

Gu Ran: "...Okay. Dad, you take charge of the specific investment business. I'll get some paper and pen, and I'll make a list for you. You follow the order of my list and invest in these companies and individuals and buy some copyrights."

Gu Ran mentioned several industry giants who are bound to be very popular in the next ten years and the best investment opportunities.

——For this kind of thing, it is most reliable to let your own family do it.

After Father Gu wrote it down, Gu Ran exchanged a few words with Mother Gu and told them that he definitely couldn't go back this summer and could only return to visit relatives during the winter break.

"Okay, that's it, we'll contact each other when we have time."

"Son, take care of yourself over there, take good care of yourself!"

"Don't worry, Mom. I have things to do tomorrow. I have to go to bed early. Bye!"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ran felt extremely relaxed and refreshed! The frustration he had before his rebirth was finally resolved today! So cool! Gu Ran went to sleep contentedly with a smile on his face.

At the Gu family on the other side of the ocean, Gu's father and Gu's mother hugged each other excitedly, crying and laughing.

"Our son has finally made it big!"

"They transferred so much money to us all at once, and they also said that this is just the beginning!"

"Haha! Looking at the eight-digit bank balance, I really feel like I'm dreaming!"

"From now on, our family can finally hold our heads high! The eldest and second eldest families will have to speak to us nicely from now on!"

"Do as Ah-zi asks! Spend 1 million first to build the ancestral hall and the ancestral tomb! Write my name and Ah-zi's name at the front!"

"I'll register an investment company soon!"

"Hurry up and invest in all the companies and individuals that Ah Zai wants us to invest in!"

Father Gu looked at the densely packed names of companies and people on the notebook and suddenly felt overwhelmed: "Where did A-zai get this list? There are so many? I know BYD, and buying BYD stocks is easy, but what kind of company is this DJI? What are the agency contracts for team members such as WE, IG, and RNG? What is this Happy Twist? Why does A-zai want to get involved in the dim sum business? Who is Liu Cixin? Who is Cyber ​​Daji? What does Zhou Yiming do..."

Father Gu was holding a long list and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "This kid...according to the investment method on the list, more than 20 million is not enough to spend..."

Mother Gu smiled and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Just follow the list one by one. Ah Zi said that this is just the beginning! I'm not asking you to spend all the 20 million in one go."

Father Gu smiled happily, "Hehehe! That's right!"

Mother Gu said proudly: "I am the chairman appointed by our son himself!"

Father Gu smiled widely, "Yes, Chairman."

"Speaking of which, there is a term called 'rich second generation' on the Internet, so what do we belong to now?"

"First generation of rich? No, we didn't become rich by ourselves, but by our sons."

Father Gu slapped his thigh and said, "Then we should be called the rich generation!"

Mother Gu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Alright, alright, you are a rich man, look how happy you are! Do you want to have breakfast?"

"Eat breakfast? I'm already rich, why should I eat breakfast?" Father Gu ran out in flip-flops, "I'm going to set off firecrackers!!! That's right! I just want everyone in the village to know--"

"My son, I've made it big!!!"

…
