At least, in a certain nihilistic sense, Gu Ran's acceptance of the Anfield crown was equivalent to being crowned the King of Liverpool.

Of course, the happiest people were not Gu Ran and Linda, but Mendes.

Mendes originally thought that as a rising star player in English League One, Gu Ran would not be too popular, but the popularity of this charity dinner has far exceeded his expectations.

Gu Ran's popularity and topicality are super explosive! Stars who are popular and topical are the real stars!

If Ronaldo was born for football, then Gu Ran was born to be a star! It's already so popular before it's even started. If it continues to be more popular, it will be even more popular! Mendes was beaming with joy!

The next few auction items didn’t fetch high prices, but it was enough.

The last item was Gu Ran’s charity auction item.

As a star secretly promoted at this charity dinner, Gu Ran naturally had to donate some real things to charity.

Gu Ran's bidding item was simple - he hadn't thought that this charity event would be so grand and exciting, so he just prepared a set of Bucks Horns jersey that he wore in the Southampton High School amateur team.

This set of jerseys is also the only one he has collected.

I thought it was gone, but then I found it again among a pile of dirty clothes.

So Gu Ran didn't tell anyone, washed it himself, and kept it away.

Since today's charity dinner was held for him, Gu Ran had no choice but to give it up reluctantly.

Compared with other charity auction items, the actual value of this set of amateur jerseys is indeed nothing, but in Gu Ran's heart, it has great commemorative significance, and it is a testimony to the relationship between Gu Ran and his high school brothers.

The starting price remains £100.

Gu Ran expected that if he could raise the price to 1,000 pounds, then it wouldn't be a loss to sacrifice the friendship of his high school brothers.

The sponsor representatives of Samsung and Suzuki had sneered faces and were ready to watch Gu Ran make a fool of himself.

As soon as the auction started, Victoria raised her sign and bid 10,000 pounds! Linda was not to be outdone and directly bid 50,000 pounds! Sister NO smiled coldly and bid 100,000 pounds! Gu Ran was stunned!

Three women are fighting head-on!

Victoria is not a big name, but at this time, she must save some face! Moreover, this bid not only represents Victoria herself, but also represents the attitude of Manchester United!

Victoria directly offered 150,000 pounds! Linda was not afraid at all and immediately followed up with 200,000 pounds! Sister NO smiled coldly again and offered 300,000 pounds! Once the three women made their move, there was no chance for other men! Even Boss Abu happily leaned back in his chair, watching the three women fighting, and had no intention of intervening in this women's war.

The other sponsor representatives were all stunned...

To be honest, they originally wanted to listen to Samsung and Suzuki and not make an offer for Gu Ran, but as the charity dinner progressed, they all realized that in the eyes of these celebrities, Gu Ran was a treasure that everyone was vying to curry favor with! And a super, super, huge, huge treasure!

Even the top billionaire Abramovich gave Gu Ran a gift worth 1.2 million pounds. No matter how stupid the sponsor representatives were, they knew that Gu Ran's future was limitless.

Therefore, the representatives of these sponsors quickly changed their mindset and wanted to compete on price and take advantage of Gu Ran when bidding on Gu Ran’s items.

As a result, with three crazy rich women around, how could these cost-conscious sponsors have any chance to speak out?

The bidding price continued to rise rapidly as Victoria, Linda and Sister NO bid at a very fast pace! Almost in the blink of an eye, Sister NO's bid reached 500,000 pounds! This price was second only to Charlton's legendary jersey and Dalglish's Anfield crown!

Gu Ran was immediately numb...

If I had known earlier... I should have prepared a few more sets of amateur jerseys!

Sister NO straightened her chest and smiled at Gu Ran in a queen-like tone: "Gu, you are mine."

These words were said not only to Gu Ran, but also to the other two women.

As soon as Sister NO finished speaking, Linda offered 600,000 pounds! This price is already the highest price Abramovich has ever paid for a single item!

Linda directly raised Gu Ran's amateur jersey to the same level as the Anfield Crown and Charlton jerseys! Women are much more ferocious than men when it comes to spending money!

The entire charity dinner was in an uproar.

Linda smiled gently at Gu Ran, "Gu, you are mine."

Being fought over by three women with huge sums of money... Gu Ran felt his blood boiling, his adrenaline soaring, and his dopamine secreting like crazy! Yes, this feeling was really great! But he could only feel happy in his heart and couldn't laugh out loud.

If you laugh out loud, then you are a scumbag.

Victoria next to her shook her head and sighed - in fact, 500,000 pounds was already beyond her limit, and 600,000 pounds was the limit of the limit.

Of course, if Gu Ran could smile at her and call her a good sister-in-law at this time, she would definitely sell everything she had to pay 610,000 pounds.

Sister NO also frowned at this time - the money she used for bidding was actually all from the big boss Abramovich. 600,000 pounds was not even a drop in the bucket for Abramovich's pocket money, but Abramovich could directly offer 600,000 pounds, but Sister NO could not just use Abramovich's money to spend without hesitation.

In the workplace, even if you are the boss' most trusted employee, you must maintain sufficient sense of boundaries with your boss.

So, even though Sister NO is very arrogant, Linda is the richest of these three rich women and has the most pocket money.

“600,000 per time!”

Mendes raised the gavel excitedly, "600,000 twice! 600,000 three times..."

"700,000!"

A clear and firm voice came from the back of the banquet hall.

Everyone looked back in astonishment.

Taylor Swift, who had changed into an evening gown, was seen raising her arm to bid.

The 700,000 pounds just now was exactly the price offered by this popular country folk queen! The whole banquet hall exclaimed! Gu Ran:...What's going on? Taylor, are you stupid? Well, you are! Victoria:...Great! I guessed that you two were having an affair! Sister NO:...Who is this 180cm tall girl? Is she also a football player? She looks familiar! Linda:...Waterfuck! Another competitor who wants to snatch Gu Ran from me! Mendes:...It's so exciting! But Miss Taylor, have you forgotten that your performance fee is only 500,000 pounds? You are really giving away charity? The mainstream media reporters at the scene pressed the shutter like crazy - the pop diva and the football star seem to have a secret that cannot be told! The pop diva spent 700,000 pounds just to make the football star smile! This must be the headline! "700,000 pounds once!"

"Seven hundred thousand pounds twice!"

"700,000 pounds... three times! Deal! Congratulations to Miss Taylor Swift! Please invite Gu Ran and Miss Swift to the stage!"

Mendes dropped the hammer with a flushed face.

Sister NO and Linda were completely numb!

They were still in a daze and hadn't reacted yet! Mendes dropped the hammer too quickly, otherwise they could have bid higher!

But it's too late to bid now! The highest bid item for this charity dinner has been announced, which is Gu Ran's Bucks Steel Horns jersey!

Celebrities, sponsors, and media reporters stood up and applauded Gu Ran and Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift walked onto the stage with her long legs. Gu Ran took her signed Bucks Horns jersey and handed the £700,000 auction item to Taylor Swift with both hands.

A reporter from the media below shouted, "Please come closer, both of you! We want to take a group photo of you!"

Gu Ran and Taylor Swift each held their jerseys, stood shoulder to shoulder, and smiled at the camera.

Not to mention, Taylor Swift is 180cm tall and has 120cm long legs. It is really stressful for ordinary men to stand next to her, even if they are taller than her.

Especially those legs, they are really long.

But fortunately, Gu Ran has a strong aura and can easily control Taylor Swift's height.

On the contrary, Taylor Swift seemed a little nervous in front of Gu Ran, with her chest hunched slightly.

If you don’t know, you might think Gu Ran has some leverage over Taylor Swift.

Media reporters took photos frantically - now there were news photos for the front page headlines.

Taylor Swift whispered to Gu Ran: "Mr. Gu Ran, I just realized now that you are a ball player."

Gu Ran quickly corrected him in a low voice: "I kicked the ball with my feet."

Good man, although both statements are acceptable, they are of different natures! Taylor Swift continued to lower her voice while smirking at the camera: "Actually, I also like football, but my legs are insured and the insurance company forbids me from playing football - of course, I don't want to tell you this. What I want to tell you is that this 700,000 pounds is my hush money to you. You are not allowed to tell anyone about what happened in the lounge."

Gu Ran coughed lightly, "Ms. Swift, I think I should remind you... this 700,000 pounds is not for me, but for charity - the World Environmental Protection Organization thanks you for your selfless donation."

Taylor Swift: ? ? ? Light~ Another red talent point bubble is generated under Taylor Swift's feet.

This is the second one Taylor Swift dropped today!

Gu Ran was secretly happy and picked it up from the air without making any expression.

Today's harvest is really huge. Not only did I get a gift of 1.2 million pounds from Abramovich, but I also got a lot of attention. The best thing is that I got Taylor Swift twice in a row! This country folk queen is really awesome!

Just looking at Taylor Swift's silly yet clear eyes, if she were caught and given a month's worth of sex for free, wouldn't she be so happy?

Don’t worry, Taylor Swift can’t run away!

Gu Ran smiled calmly at Taylor Swift, "Let's talk about the lounge in private."

"Eh..." Taylor Swift suddenly became a little anxious.

Gu Ran, however, walked off the stage in a cool and graceful manner.

In front of so many celebrities and media, Taylor Swift could only smile dryly and walked off the stage with the 700,000-pound jersey. Her clear and resentful eyes would occasionally glance at Gu Ran...

Taylor Swift: My £700,000! How unlucky am I! The auction for the charity dinner ended, and Mendes raised a total of £2.25 million for environmental protection.

This really exceeded expectations!

To be honest, after deducting the 500,000 pounds for inviting Taylor Swift to sing two songs, the 150,000 pounds for the hotel's private booking service fee, and the 1.25 million operating expenses that The Heatstephus deserved, there would probably still be about 300,000 pounds left for environmental charity.

How should I put it, win-win situation.

Boss Abu showed off, the celebrities strengthened their friendship, Taylor Swift sang songs and got paid, Gu Ran gained benefits and fame, the media reporters got news materials, Hotspot made money, and the World Environmental Foundation got income without any effort.

Everyone is happy—except Taylor Swift.

Taylor Swift is clearly here to make money, but she paid another 200,000 pounds. The key is that this 700,000 pounds is not the hush money for Gu Ran...

Taylor Swift just stood in the corner with a numb expression.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to sit, but her butt hurts.

Whenever her butt hurt, she would think of Gu Ran. Whenever she thought of Gu Ran, her butt would hurt again.

After the auction ended, the banquet continued.

Celebrities raised their glasses, congratulated each other and interacted with each other.

Liverpool's boss Linda held a glass of champagne and said to Gu Ran, "Hi, Gu, my future king of Anfield. Your performance tonight was great. You already have the style of a football star."

Gu Ran said politely: "Thank you, Linda, I am also very grateful for your support."

Although Linda's 600,000 pounds was not taken out, the heavy friendship was visible to Gu's eyes and within his reach.

Linda deliberately puffed out her chest, her eyes glittering, "Why are you so polite to me? Just tell me what you want, and I can satisfy you. But shouldn't you satisfy me too? My request is not high, how about having a drink with me?"

Gu Ran said quickly: "Linda, you know I don't drink, and I drove here, I can't drive if I drink."

Linda giggled, and the heavy emerald on her chest began to tremble. "Why are you still driving? If you are drunk, don't leave. My villa is in London, you can stay there."

Holy shit…

Isn't this bad? Although your husband is not at home, I am really a serious person! Gu Ran said quickly: "Thank you Linda, but forget about the wine today, let's do it another day, another day."

Linda pouted coquettishly, "Well, you said it, you can't go back on your word."

Victoria and Sister NO next to them cursed the bitch in their hearts.

Just as Linda put down the champagne in her hand, Sister NO came up to Gu Ran with a glass of vodka.

"Gu, I know you are a real man. A real man should drink real wine, just like a real man should come to Chelsea - you must drink this glass of wine!"

Oh shit!

You guys wanna get me drunk and then do that?

Those who know you want to dig me out, but those who don't know think you want to take turns getting me! Boys should really protect themselves when they are alone outside! Gu Ran said quickly: "Sorry, Marina, I just said that I really can't drink, and I really need to drive."

The more you say NO to Sister NO, the more angry she will become.

"Okay, if you don't want to drink, I will." Sister NO drank a full glass of strong vodka in one gulp, and then exhaled happily, "Gu, every time you reject me, I will drink a glass until you are willing."

After saying that, Sister NO picked up the vodka on the table and filled another glass for herself.

Gu Ran was immediately numb.

Sister NO is such a cruel woman!

Gu Ran said quickly, "No, no, no, Marina, this occasion is not convenient. Can we do it another day?"

Sister NO raised her eyebrows and said, "You said it, you can't go back on your word!"

Linda and Victoria standing by secretly cursed her as a bitch.

Before Sister NO put down her glass, Victoria picked up a glass of Evian mineral water and said, "Gu, sister-in-law will also toast you a glass - you can choose not to drink the wine from the two of them, but how can you have an ordinary relationship with sister-in-law? They don't care whether you drive or not but force you to drink. Sister-in-law cares about you and asks you to drink her water. You can't refuse, right?"

Holy shit…

Sister-in-law, you...did you drive here? Why do I feel like something ran over my face? It's okay if it ran over, but I'm afraid that the media reporters will write: Gu Ran refused NO sister Linda's wine and drank Victoria's water...

This, this, this, isn't this going to kill me? How am I going to explain this to my brother Bei later?

Gu Ran said bitterly: "Sister-in-law, I... am not thirsty."

Victoria sighed sadly, "Sure enough, your sister-in-law means nothing in your heart."

"Sister-in-law! Stop talking, I'll drink! I'll drink!"

It's just a glass of water, it's hard to refuse it emotionally and logically.

Gu Ran took the cup of water from Victoria with a tingling scalp and drank it all in one gulp.

Victoria immediately asked with great joy, "Sister-in-law's water is still sweeter, right?"

Gu Ran choked and almost vomited.

Victoria giggled and patted Gu Ran on the back, "Stinky brother, why are you so eager to drink sister-in-law's water? If you like it, just tell me. Sister-in-law has plenty of water!"

Linda and Sister NO next to them cursed her in their hearts.

Sister NO said: "Gu, so you like water, I have plenty of it!"

Linda chuckled, "My water is sweeter than theirs."

Gu Ran wiped his mouth in embarrassment and stood up, "Sorry, ladies, I have to go to the bathroom first."

After saying that, Gu Ran dodged and ran away.

This Shura Field is too scary! If I stay here any longer, I will be drowned tonight.

Linda looked at Gu Ran's back as he ran away, a hint of pride appeared on her lips, "You two, I saw Gu go to the toilet with my own eyes~"

Sister NO and Victoria looked at each other and cursed inwardly at the same time: Bitch!

As soon as Gu Ran escaped from the Shura Field, he ran into Taylor Swift who had her arms crossed over her chest.

"Mr. Gu Ran, you seemed to be having a great time chatting with those old women!" Taylor Swift's tone was cold, as if she was jealous.

Gu Ran quickly explained: "No, I didn't. They just wanted to poach me and transfer."

Taylor Swift said, "Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm a three-year-old? You must have told them about what happened in the lounge, right?"

Gu Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This, really doesn't exist!"

Taylor Swift blinked. "Really? You swear?"

Gu Ran said: "I swear on my reputation that I really didn't do that."

Taylor nodded. "Okay, then I'll trust you this time. But you have to promise not to tell anyone about this in the future."

Gu Ran grinned and said, "I can't guarantee that. After all, you haven't paid me for keeping quiet yet."

Taylor said angrily: "I spent 700,000 pounds on you!"

Gu Ran shrugged, "You gave it to the Environmental Protection Charity Association, but I didn't get a dime."

"You! How could you be like this?" Taylor said angrily, "Okay, I admit I'm unlucky! I know I'm unlucky, and this one bad thing won't make me any more unlucky. Tell me, what do you want in exchange for keeping it a secret for me? Otherwise, I'll return this 700,000-dollar jersey to you."

Gu Ran immediately said, "I can't afford it!"

Taylor was a little anxious, "What do you want to do? Tell me!"

Gu Ran pretended to be in deep thought for a while, "Then sing a song for me, just for me alone."

Taylor raised her chin proudly, "I'm sorry, Taylor Swift is a principled woman. I will never sing for a man!"

Gu Ran said indifferently: "Goodbye."

"Hey, don't go! Don't go! Wait a minute--"

Gu Ran didn't give Taylor a chance and turned and walked into the bathroom.

The next moment, Gu Ran walked out again without changing his expression.

Wrong way.

I accidentally walked into the women's restroom.

But nothing serious.

Taylor seemed to have caught something and said excitedly, "Ha! You're in trouble! We can switch places! Otherwise I'll tell everyone that you went into the women's restroom!"

Gu Ran said calmly, "Whatever you say, I don't care. Anyway, my image in the media is terrible. Maybe after your promotion, I will become even more famous."

Taylor's chest heaved with anger. "You, you, you are such a scoundrel! A huge scoundrel!"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment. I'm going to pee now."

Having said that, Gu Ran swaggered into the men's restroom.

Taylor stomped his feet in anger at the door. "Ahhhhh! I'm freaking out! I'm so unlucky! How could I meet such a scoundrel! "

At this time, Taylor's female assistant ran over and said, "Taylor, you are here! We should leave now. If we don't leave now, we will miss the plane."

Taylor said angrily, "Can't you see I'm busy? Change the ticket!"

“Ah? Yes…”

When Gu Ran came out of the bathroom again, Taylor and her female assistant had disappeared.

After all, it wouldn't look good if a country folk singer blocked people at the door of the men's restroom.

But this story is definitely not over yet.

Gu Ran smiled and wandered around the banquet hall casually.

In short, you can't go back to Shura Field.

Taking this opportunity, Gu Ran also had a lively conversation with legends such as Ferguson, Charlton, and Dalglish.

Ferguson, Charlton, Dalglish and others all praised Gu Ran's humble attitude and outstanding performance.

As the banquet was coming to an end, Gu Ran concentrated his mind and used "Force" on Kenny Dalglish.
