Linda, you are not really going to give me a weekly salary of 120,000 pounds, are you crazy? Even if you are willing to give it, the Liverpool board will not agree!
Even if the Liverpool board agrees, your businessman husband will never agree! But... after all, a crazy woman like you can block me in the toilet, who knows if you will do other crazy things?
Gu Ran couldn't help but want to see what Linda was going to do.
Linda continued, "Gu, you should also know that with your current strength and status, no club can give you a top weekly salary of 120,000 pounds - the reason why Gerrard's salary is so high is because he has been a student of Liverpool FC since he was 9 years old. He is also the captain, the spiritual leader of the team, and a meritorious legend, so there must be a premium."
"Normally, the maximum weekly salary the club can give you is £20,000."
Oh shit!
20,000 pounds a week, 80,000 pounds a month, equivalent to 800,000 in China...
Gu Ran's heart skipped a beat.
He was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect Linda to actually think about it seriously.
Before Gu Ran could say anything, Linda continued, "Of course, this is what the club can give you. I know this is far from the 120,000 pounds a week you asked for, but as long as you are willing to come to Liverpool, I can still give you a weekly salary personally. Of course, this weekly salary is private, so it cannot be transferred to your personal account. It needs to be transferred to your own company or your foundation through financial operations."
"And I, personally, can give you £50,000 a week."
"My weekly pocket money is only 60,000 pounds. Giving you 50,000 is my greatest sincerity."
Linda looked at Gu Ran with resentment and coquettishness.
Gu Ran felt numb all over!
Linda, you actually...want to use your own money to get me to join Liverpool? Is there such a thing?
Are you crazy?
Wait, does this count as keeping someone? Damn it, I just want to play football, not be kept!
Seeing that Gu Ran didn't say anything for a long time, Linda sighed quietly, "I know that 20,000 plus 50,000 is not enough for 120,000, but I can also provide you with equivalent exchange services through my real estate company and financial company. I can even give you a share so that your weekly dividend can reach at least 50,000 pounds. I believe that these services combined are enough to accumulate 120,000 pounds."
Gu Ran: ...
I was just saying it casually, Linda, why are you taking it so seriously? This is really a trick I've been tricked by.
This woman is not only crazy and bold, but also very smart! She must know that I will not agree with this approach, but she still expressed her sincerity!
On the contrary, if I don't agree, I will be very sorry to her...
Gu Ran secretly took a deep breath and had to put in all his energy to face Linda.
Linda smiled and said, "I told you that I will do my best to bring you to Liverpool. Now, can we talk about the details of the transfer?"
Gu Ran cleared his throat dryly, "Linda, I... I got up too fast today and I'm not ready... Now that you mention it, my head is a little confused..."
Linda smiled and said, "Gu, you were so energetic on the court, you made one pass and two shots! You were so powerful that even Gerrard praised you!"
Gu Ran said helplessly: "Okay, Linda, I'm really not doing this for money."
Linda said indifferently: "No problem, no matter what you want, as long as you ask, I will do everything I can to satisfy you."
Gu Ran really felt like he was about to be frightened.
Linda is such a crazy woman.
She is flirtatious, smart, and has a strong execution ability. She will never give up until she achieves her goal.
Only when you can conquer such a woman can you feel a sense of accomplishment...
I seem to have imagined Cao Cao's happiness...
Bah! I am a serious person!
Gu Ran cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "Linda, look at you, why are you doing this? I am actually just a grassroots player. Today is my first professional game, and it is also a friendly match. I am really honored that you think highly of me and praise me, but... with such investment, are you really not afraid of losing money?"
Linda smiled and said, "Loss of money? No, I believe the value you can bring to me will far exceed my investment. My vision is always accurate."
Gu Ran really didn't know what to do because of this crazy woman Linda.
If you want to reject Linda, you have to propose a condition that Linda can't do. But for a woman like Linda, what can she not do? You can't make that kind of request, right? It's not terrible to make that kind of request. What's terrible is that if Linda really agrees, it will be fatal!
After all, I am a serious person! Should I take the initiative on top or passively accept it from below?
No, this is not the image a decent person should associate with...
"How is it?" Linda puffed out her chest. "Have you thought about it? Just tell me what you want."
Gu Ran shook his head and said with a smile: "Linda, you are so amazing. I really can't think of any other excuses. So I might as well just say it straight."
Hearing Gu Ran personally praise her for being "awesome", Linda couldn't help but feel a little proud, "Okay, I like straight ones."
Gu Ran said frankly: "I need time. I want to play in Southampton for a while, build my technical foundation, and then consider the transfer."
Linda pursed her lips and said, "So, no matter what I do, you will not leave Southampton for the time being?"
Gu Ran nodded and said, "That's right."
Linda asked: "What if someone else wants you to transfer? For example, Chelsea, Manchester United,
Gu Ran smiled and said, "Even when you came to tell me in person, Linda, I didn't agree, so how could I agree to others?"
Linda raised her eyebrows and said in an aggressive tone, "Is it true? If Sister NO talks to you about the transfer like I did, will you reject her?"
Gu Ran smiled and said, "I have never met Sister NO."
Linda said, “Based on your development, I can be sure that the Iron Sister will find you soon.”
Oh shit!
No way? Are you jealous so soon?
Sister NO is so high and mighty, and she has the final say, how could she possibly block me in the men's restroom? Gu Ran cleared his throat and said seriously, "Linda, please rest assured. If that day ever comes, I will definitely reject her with all my heart."
Linda continued to ask, "If you want to transfer, can you promise to find me first instead of Sister NO?"
Gu Ran was slightly stunned.
It was not until this time that Gu Ran realized that the previous communication between Linda and him was actually a prelude. Linda had long known that it was impossible to poach him so easily. Linda just wanted a promise of priority! This woman, I can't say she was deliberate, but she is really a top female hunter - things that seem to be logical are actually all planned by her!
Gu Ran then said with a very real feeling: "Don't worry, Linda, you are so sincere, I will definitely give you priority."
As a veteran old scumbag whose biological age is only seventeen years old, Gu Ran's eyes are full of sincerity.
Upon hearing this, Linda smiled with satisfaction, "I am happy to hear you say this. Well, maybe the timing is not yet ripe. I have just taken over Liverpool, and the relationships within the club are complicated. I also need some time. How about this, we can discuss your transfer during the winter transfer window?"
Winter transfer window...
Isn't this too urgent?
From the sound of it, if I don’t agree, I might not be able to leave the men’s room today.
Gu Ran could only nod and say, "Okay, I promise, we'll talk about it during the winter transfer window - but I hope we don't meet in the men's bathroom."
Linda chuckled, "Gu, you are so funny! Don't worry, I promise you, the next time we meet privately, it will definitely not be in the bathroom. Come on, let's make a pinky promise."
As she spoke, Linda hooked her little finger towards Gu Ran.
Is it so childish? Gu Ran complained in his heart, and gritted his teeth and made a pinky promise with Linda.
Linda's hands are very soft and well-maintained. Although she is already in her thirties, she looks like a girl of seventeen or eighteen.
Gu Ran hooked Linda's little finger and couldn't help feeling a little excited.
The plot in The Sun suddenly emerged in Gu Ran’s mind.
"Why aren't you letting go? How long do you want to keep doing this?" Linda complained coquettishly, but her expression was extremely charming.
Gu Ran quickly came to his senses and let go of Linda's fingers.
——This woman’s skill level is really high, and she plays the game of playing hard to get very well.
You say she is seducing, but she is actually rejecting. But you say she is really rejecting, but she is actually seducing in a more advanced way.
Fortunately, I am a serious person.
Otherwise, I would have been completely confused today.
Then Linda said, "Let's exchange contact information. By the way, Gu, do you have Twitter? Instagram? Facebook?"
I only have QQ...
QQ that can grab parking spaces and steal vegetables...
Gu Ran smiled and said, "I don't really like social media."
Linda smiled and said, "It's okay, then let's leave each other our phone numbers, and when we have nothing to do, we can send each other text messages or something."
"OK."
Gu Ran gave out his personal cell phone number.
Linda immediately took out her cell phone and saved Gu Ran's number.
"Okay - when I text you, you must reply to my message."
"Okay..." Gu Ran said, "Linda, can I leave now?"
Linda smiled and said, "Of course, I never said I wouldn't let you go."
As she spoke, Linda turned sideways and motioned for Gu Ran to walk past her.
The toilet passage was a bit narrow, and Linda deliberately stood in the middle of the passage.
Gu Ran had no choice but to bite the bullet and pass by Linda.
Linda's perfume was so strong that it was almost intoxicating.
Gu Ran's muscles tensed up involuntarily.
After finally squeezing past Linda, Gu Ran suddenly stopped again, "...I forgot to bring the urine cup."
Linda chuckled, "Do you need my help?"
"No, no, no! I can do it myself, I can do it myself!"
Randomly checking urine cups is a very important matter and cannot be handled by others.
Gu Ran had no choice but to bite the bullet, wipe Linda's back, pick up the urine cup, and then wipe Linda's back again.
If this happens one more time, Gu Ran’s young body really won’t be able to take it anymore.
Just as Gu Ran was about to walk out with the urine cup, Linda said again: "Wait."
Gu Ran asked nervously, "What else?"
Linda smiled and said, "Gu...Have you read the Sun some time ago?"
"Ah..." Gu Ran said seriously, "No, no, who would watch that?"
Linda blushed, "Yes, yes, serious people, who would watch that!"
The two looked at each other and laughed dryly.
"Well, I'm leaving now."
"Well, bye, we'll keep in touch by phone."
"Okay, okay."
You know what, although Gu Ran didn't want to have too much entanglement with this smart Liverpool boss lady, he really felt a little reluctant subconsciously.
At this time, Rick was chatting with the staff outside the door, "...Staff like you should have a very high salary, right? How much is it approximately? Have you ever had any accidents at work? For example, spilling an athlete's urine on your hands?"
The staff member's face was livid, his mouth was tightly shut, and he just wanted it to be over quickly.
At this time, Gu Ran just came out with a urine cup.
When the staff saw Gu Ran's urine, they immediately felt like they had seen a savior, "Mr. Gu Ran, you finally came out."
Gu Ran said helplessly: "Not much urine."
"That's enough, that's enough!" The staff member took it respectfully.
Gu Ran asked: "Can I leave now?"
The staff member immediately said: "Yes, the test results will be delivered to the official mailbox of Southampton Football Club by email later. Of course, unless the test results are abnormal, you will not be notified specifically."
"Well, thank you for your hard work."
Gu Ran thanked the staff and then went to the visiting team's locker room.
Rick also greeted the staff and took a few quick steps to catch up with Gu Ran.
Rick couldn't help but ask, "Gu, why did you stay in there for so long? Hey, why do you still smell good?"
Oh shit.
Rick, you are a police dog, right?
I just brushed past Linda, and you could smell the lingering perfume on me? Gu Ran said calmly, "Oh, nothing, it might be the smell of the perfume in the toilet."
Rick quickly covered his stomach, "Gu, please, don't mention the fragrance..."
Gu Ran even deliberately moved closer to Rick's face and said, "This fragrance is really high-end. Come, let me give you a good smell."
Rick's face was filled with fear, he covered his nose and ran away!
After Gu Ran and Rick left, Edwards poked his head out of the single room at the other end of the corridor and adjusted his glasses.
