Bobby Charlton and Kenny Dalglish were both superstars when they were young.

In contrast, Alex Ferguson was less brilliant as a player.

So if you want to take it by force, the best targets are Charlton or Dalglish.

As one of Manchester United's three holy warriors, Bobby Charlton had very comprehensive personal abilities in his era, especially in the midfield and frontcourt, where he was almost invincible.

Charlton's technical characteristics are open and close, his dribbling skills are extremely simple and practical, very spiritual, with good feet and high football IQ. He is also one of the non-striker players with the best shooting skills in football history.

So, in a sense, it is not unreasonable for Charlton to like Gu Ran, because Gu Ran's current style is very similar to Charlton's style when he was young, both of them are bold and open, rely on basketball IQ to lead the team, and pass the ball more than shooting.

But Kenny Dalglish was different.

Kenny Dalglish was originally a striker, and he created a way for strikers to score goals that had never been seen in their era - taking the ball with his back to the goal, then turning around quickly and shooting.

In modern times, this technique is definitely a shooting technique that any forward, center forward and even attacking midfielder must master.

But the man who created and perfected this technique was none other than King Kenny Dalglish.

Perhaps this technique had been used by other stars before Dalglish, but none of them had formed a technical style as systematically as Dalglish.

Dalglish's turning and shooting technique not only includes shooting skills, but also includes positioning, stopping the ball, protecting the ball, and physical confrontation skills, and is very comprehensive.

It can be said that Dalglish is the ancestor of the "turn and shoot".

Now, there is a chance to get the ancestor for free without going through any middlemen, so Gu Ran will naturally not miss this opportunity.

So, even though Gu Ran also wanted to take advantage of Bobby Charlton's superb footwork, after weighing the pros and cons, Gu Ran decided to use the only chance of the day on the "Old King" Dalglish.

Dalglish's movement is very flexible, his stopping the ball is like an art, he can keep the ball under his feet without moving, and his physical confrontation feels like he can move a thousand pounds with just a little effort - it is really worth watching.

So, Gu Ran focused his attention on Dalglish: Top-notch pass: The King of Anfield +1!

So cool!

Today's charity dinner was really worth the trip, and the harvest was perfect! Gu Ran nodded to Kenny Dalglish repeatedly.

Dalglish had a strange feeling, but he couldn't tell what it was for a moment, so he just raised his glass to Gu Ran in a friendly manner.

——Unknowingly, the dinner was gradually coming to an end.

After 9:30, the banquet ended and the celebrities, sponsor representatives and media reporters left reluctantly.

Mendes saw him off at the door with a rosy face. Gu Ran didn't know how many times he shook his hand. His entire arm was almost numb.

Linda, Sister NO, and Victoria were a little drunk - Gu Ran was not with them just now, so the three of them simply started to compete with each other in drinking.

The result was obvious. Linda and Victoria were both drunk, but Sister NO was fine.

Before leaving, Sister NO held Gu Ran's hand and said, "Gu, remember what you promised me. Let's drink together some other day."

"Okay, okay, I'll always remember it."

Gu Ran agreed verbally, but secretly complained in his heart: I would be crazy to drink with you, but I would be stupid to do so if I don't agree tonight.

Sister NO left satisfied.

Linda's cheeks were flushed, and she looked at Gu Ran with longing eyes, "Gu, you have to remember me too. You promised me."

"Okay, okay, I'll always remember it."

Gu Ran continued to complain in his heart: It’s the same whether you coax one person or a group of people.

Alas, I am such a kind-hearted person, I am honest and upright, I don’t want to let a woman feel sad for me…

Linda also left satisfied.

Victoria held Gu Ran's arm resentfully and blew a mouthful of the fragrant red wine aroma on Gu Ran's face, "Stinky brother, sister-in-law doesn't want you to drink with sister-in-law. Sister-in-law wants to know why, why don't you smile at sister-in-law? Do you really look down on sister-in-law?"

Gu Ran quickly said: "Sister-in-law, how could I? I respect Brother Bei very much, and I respect you very much too."

Victoria stamped her feet, and the silicone trembled three times. "Then sister-in-law asks you, why don't you smile at sister-in-law? Is sister-in-law unworthy? Could it be that you like white people and dislike dark people? But sister-in-law deliberately tanned herself. The parts of sister-in-law that have not been tanned are still very white!"

Oh shit!

Sister-in-law, do you want to listen to what kind of vicious words you are saying?

The places you haven’t posted…are they things I can see?

Gu Ran said with a smile: "No, no, sister-in-law, please don't think too much, I really am... flawed!"

"You naughty brother!" Victoria raised her hand and punched Gu Ran, "I don't believe it! I must make you smile at me today——"

As she said that, Victoria took the opportunity to tickle Gu Ran's armpits.

Gu Ran struggled hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, don't... don't do this! There are people here! I... Ha~"

It’s over, it’s over…

Didn't hold it! Strengthen the charming smile +1 trigger!

But then again, even if he accidentally triggered the enhanced charming smile, it shouldn't be that serious, right? Gu Ran held his breath and glanced at Victoria cautiously.

Victoria was paralyzed on the spot, as if she had been touched by a high voltage current, her eyes fixed on Gu Ran's face in shock and fascination.

not good……

Gu Ran immediately pulled away, "Sister-in-law, it's getting late, I should drive home, we'll see each other again sometime!"

As he spoke, Gu Ran quickly stepped back, turned around and ran.

The enhanced charming smile is extremely lethal to ordinary girls, and for Victoria, it is twice as lethal! What's more, Victoria is drunk tonight. If she doesn't get out of here, something serious will happen! Although I have many girlfriends, I am really a serious person!

Fortunately, my football training was not in vain, and my sprinting skills really came in handy at this time.

——Gu Ran disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Why--"

Victoria only reacted at this time, and her heart, which had been solidified in the silicone, finally started beating again. But when she wanted to look back, it was too late.

"Stinky brother!" Victoria covered her throbbing silicone and panted to herself, "Okay, I let you get away this time, but it won't be so easy next time... Ah~ I can't take it anymore, I have to go to the bathroom~"

As soon as Gu Ran ran out of the back door of the banquet hall, the cell phone in his pocket rang.

Gu Ran took out his cell phone and saw that it was Mendes calling.

Well, I have to answer the agent’s call.

Gu Ran gritted his teeth and answered the phone.

"Hey, Gu! Where have you been? I wanted to introduce you to the producer of the Sky Sports Football Star Interview Program!"

"Maybe another time Mendes, I'm really tired today."

This is not a lie. Being in this world of fame and fortune is much more tiring than playing football on the court.

In particular, there is a terrifying Shura field today.

"Well, after all, you just became famous, and you can't adapt to such a high-end celebrity life for a while."

Mendes on the other end of the phone smiled and said, "However, your performance today was really great, far beyond my expectations. I think it was even better than your performance on the court! You could chat and laugh with Abramovich without being humble or overbearing, and you could make old guys like Charlton, Ferguson, and Dalglish vie for praise. You could also handle yourself among three crazy women with ease. Gu, you are really born to be a star! Of course, you must go all out in future games to achieve good results, and never let up. You know, the foundation of a football star's fame is his performance on the court. The reason why you can be so successful today is not just because of my organizing the game - I mean, although my organizing the game is important, what is more important is your previous wonderful accumulation on the court."

Gu Ran immediately said, "Thank you for your reminder, Mendes. I understand. I will definitely focus on football in the future. Of course, I also want to thank you for helping me organize the game. Without your organization, I would never have achieved what I have today."

"Good, great! I believe you will be able to soar to the sky!" Mendes paused for a moment and then said, "I have arranged a celebrity interview for you on Sky Sports. When do you think it would be convenient for you?"

Holy shit…

Being a star is so troublesome! Gu Ran said helplessly: "Mendes, let me take a breath. At least wait until the middle of this season, when I am on vacation, you can arrange interviews and endorsements for me."

Mendes on the other end of the phone thought for a moment and said, "Okay, no problem. You are my dear Gu, so I'll do as you say."

"Thank you, goodbye." Gu Ran hung up the phone.

Today's charity dinner has finally ended, and Gu Ran has made a lot of money.

The only remaining unfulfilled little wish is...

Gu Ran looked around but didn't see any trace of the silly little queen Taylor Swift.

Is Taylor Swift gone?

It shouldn't be like this!

Even if she really left, I wouldn't tell anyone about what happened in the lounge, but with Taylor's intelligence, shouldn't she be able to see through my "a little bit bad" personality? As I was thinking about it, I saw Taylor Swift, who was only 19 years old, walking towards me with her long legs puffed up.

Gu Ran couldn't help but let a smirk appear on his face.

"What a coincidence?"

"What's so coincidental?" Taylor Swift crossed her arms and rolled her eyes at Gu Ran. "I stayed here on purpose to wait for you! For you, I changed my flight ticket and even canceled my announcement for tomorrow! My loss is huge!"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "I am deeply honored."

Taylor Swift raised her chin and said, "You rogue! Although you helped me out of the predicament and I should thank you, you actually asked me to sing for you alone! And you made me lose 700,000 pounds because of this!"

Gu Ran said quickly, "Let's put it this way, Miss Swift! I didn't ask you to raise the price! The 700,000 pounds you spent didn't go to me."

Taylor said angrily: "Then you give me 700,000 pounds and I will return your jersey to you! At worst, I promise to sing two songs for you alone. Okay, three songs is fine."

Oh shit!

What are you doing, little diva? Are you singing here for money?

Taylor was stunned, "Go with you? Where to?"

Gu Ran said as a matter of course: "Of course you sing for me alone."

Taylor said, "Can't we do it here?"

Gu Ran said with a smile: "There are so many people coming and going here, how can it be considered singing for me alone?"

Taylor blinked his clear eyes and said, "That's right, let's get a room."

Holy shit…

Gu Ran said quickly, "Ahem, we can get a hotel room... It's not impossible. But there are so many reporters here, and many of them are from the tabloids. They are eager to make a big news! We are both celebrities who want to save our reputation. If we leave a record of our hotel stay, what if the tabloids write that the little queen and the big star spent 700,000 pounds and got a hotel room just because they met on the same day? Will I still be able to work in the football world in the future?"

Taylor stamped his feet in anger. "You're the only one who still has shame? Is your face as valuable as mine? Okay, okay, you're right. We're all celebrities and can't let the tabloid media write about us. Then I'll go with you. But let's make a deal. I'll sing three songs for you alone, and you'll give me £700,000. And you'll have to swear on your reputation that you will never, ever, ever tell anyone else what happened in the lounge tonight."

Gu Ran corrected him: "You mean the third person, right? After all, you and I are already two people, unless you are not a human."

Taylor was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red and he said angrily: "Bah, you are not a human being! Okay, okay, I repeat, you can't tell anyone else what happened in the lounge."

Gu Ran said without hesitation: "Okay, I promise you."

I won’t tell you, I absolutely won’t tell you. Even if you ask me to swear, it’s okay.

——But I can write about it when I write celebrity memoirs in the future. After all, what is written cannot be considered as speaking.

Clear-eyed Taylor breathed a sigh of relief, "So where are we going now?"

Gu Ran said: "Let's get in the car first."

Taylor nodded, "Okay."

Gu Ran said, "I asked the waiter to park the car in the hotel's VIP parking lot. To prevent being followed by paparazzi, I will go first. You wait five minutes before coming down. I will turn on the hazard lights to signal you."

Taylor said, "Okay, got it - I must earn back the 700,000 pounds I lost today."

Gu Ran gave Taylor a harmless smile and said, "I'll wait for you."

After saying that, Gu Ran walked towards the hotel's underground parking lot in a casual manner.

After Gu Ran got in the car, he turned on the Cayenne's hazard lights.

After a full five minutes, Taylor crouched down and walked carefully into the parking lot alone.

Seeing the little queen sneaking around, Gu Ran thought she was extremely cute - a cute girl of 180cm tall.

Gu Ran drove the car in front of Taylor. Taylor opened the door and hesitated.

Gu Ran raised his eyebrows, "Get in the car! What? Do you regret it? Are you afraid that I'm a bad person?"

Taylor pouted. "That's not the case. You and I are both celebrities. I believe you can't do anything to me. Besides, it's just three songs, which took only ten minutes to finish. Why would I regret it just to earn back my 700,000 pounds? I regret it because..."

Gu Ran asked: "Why?"

Taylor bit her red lipstick lips and said in a weak voice, "My butt hurts..."

Gu Ran almost laughed out loud, "No way, it still hurts?"

Taylor said angrily: "Nonsense! Don't you know how hard you used? I think you used a steel pipe on me!"

Oh shit!

"Don't talk nonsense! If someone hears you, they will misunderstand you!" Gu Ran suppressed his smile and said, "Alright, alright, hurry up and get in the car. Sit sideways with the painful part hanging in the air. Don't worry, you won't get hurt this time."

"You still bring it up!!! Okay, okay, I'm just so unlucky."

Taylor sighed helplessly, turned his back to Gu Ran, bent down and put his butt on the leather seat of the passenger seat.

Gu Ran couldn't help but take another look.

Tsk tsk, this waist-to-hip ratio...

No wonder even steel folding chairs can’t hold up.

After Taylor sat down, one side of his butt was hanging in the air, almost half lying sideways on the passenger seat.

Gu Ran reminded: "Fasten your seat belts, I'm driving very fast."

"Hey, how fast can it be?" Taylor twisted his waist and there was a click.

The slender waist was twisted.

"Ahhh! Oh my God! Why am I so unlucky!" Taylor cried in pain, "It hurts so much, wuwuwuwu."

Gu Ran sighed, "Don't move, let me do it."

As he spoke, Gu Ran leaned over, reached out and pulled the seat belt from Taylor's empty chest and helped her fasten it.

This little diva's perfume smells so good...

There is no silicone feel.

Gu Ran cleared his throat and said, "Let me make this clear first - don't fart in front of me."

Taylor's face flushed with shame and anger, "What are you talking about! How can I fart? I...well, I can! But I'm a lady! Even if I want to fart, I will hold it in! God! Why am I talking to you about this topic? Mr. Gu Ran, you are so dirty! If you say such dirty words to me again, I will get off the car!"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Not making 700,000?"

Taylor's mouth twitched slightly, "Drive, hurry up."

"As you wish, my lady." Gu Ran grinned and stomped his foot on the floor.

The Cayenne rushed out of the underground parking lot at lightning speed and maneuvered quickly on the busy streets of London.

Taylor tensed up. "Oh my God! Gu... your driving skills are pretty good."

Gu Ran said modestly: "It's mainly because the Cayenne is good."

Taylor nodded, "Cayenne is indeed good."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "So, you like driving too?"

Taylor raised his handsome chin and said, "Believe it or not, I drive much better than you, but my insurance company doesn't allow me to drive, so... I drive secretly."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "I thought you changed your insurance company."

Taylor thought about it and said, "Huh? This is also a solution!"

Gu Ran asked: "Besides writing songs, singing, and driving, what other hobbies do you have?"

Taylor said without hesitation: "I want to be an investment consultant."

"What?"

Taylor said seriously, "An investment consultant means you give me money, and then I use your money to make money. If I make money, I can get a share, and if I lose it all, I don't have to be responsible. Oh my God, I think investment consultant is really the best job in the world. This has been my dream since I was a child. Believe it or not, I am actually an investment genius who was delayed by singing."

I invested in the Wizards and spent £700,000 on a jersey. Now I’m paying for my stolen car to make up for the loss…

Gu Ran couldn't help but laugh and said, "Well, no wonder you love making money so much that you don't even let go of a small amount like 700,000 pounds."

"Small money??? You actually said 700,000 pounds is small money? Do you know that I have to sing two or even three songs to make it back! Okay, okay, even if it is small money!" Taylor frowned and said, "But, I am really tired. I haven't slept for almost 30 hours. I flew all the way here, I can't lose money, right? God, why am I talking to you about this? I'm here to sing! I'll get off after singing! Wait, where is this car going?"

Taylor was stunned as he looked at the highway sign that just passed by him.

It’s not kindergarten anyway.

Gu Ran said: "Of course...get on the highway."

“Why are we on the highway?!”

"That's a question. There are fewer cars on the highway. I can drive faster."

Taylor said helplessly: "Okay, okay, drive whatever you want - anyway, there are only two of us in the car now, can I sing for you alone?"

Gu Ran said: "Although I think this occasion in the car is not grand enough, but since you want to sing in the car, then sing."

Taylor said, "Be content, this is the first time I sing to one person alone. Which song do you want to hear? Love Story? You Belong with Me? These two songs are my proudest songs and are also the most frequently requested songs in major events."

"I just heard these two songs at the charity dinner."

"Ha~ That's right. So what do you want to listen to? Just order whatever you want. Anyway, after we sing three songs, you pay the bill, then get off the highway and send me back to the hotel. I can still catch up on some sleep. By the way, don't forget to swear on your honor."

"Okay, can I order anything?"

"certainly."

"Are you good at folk songs?"

Taylor said proudly, "Hahaha! Mr. Gu Ran, you succeeded in making me laugh! You probably don't understand what type of female singer I am in the United States! You know, even though I'm not even 20 years old yet, and even though I can never win the Billboard singles championship, now they all call me the little folk queen!"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Wow, little diva, do you...your butt and waist still hurt?"

Taylor was so angry that he was shaking all over. "Bah! Stop talking about my ass and waist! You dirty bastard! Order a song quickly! I really, really, really don't want to stay with you for even a minute! Just order whatever you want. I'm telling you, as long as it's a folk song, even if you didn't order the song I sang originally, I can still sing it for you. And I guarantee it'll be better than the original!"

Gu Ran nodded in conviction, "Is that so... Then I'd like you to sing a song: "My Deskmate"."
