Chapter 11: Consequences of Headline News



Because of Cech's hot search, another related news was also pushed to the top.

After the press conference, the Sun reporter refused to believe it and published a special news item: [Arsenal fans acting as linesmen? [The enforcement of Premier League referees is worrying]

It is reported that the original referee made a temporary substitution and let retired player Alvin Devitt, who was sitting in the Arsenal stands, act as a linesman. Arsenal tied with Manchester United at home. It was a pity that they failed to get all three points despite such a huge advantage...

This piece of news didn't make any waves at first. It's all nonsense. Anyone who has watched the game knows that it's not the case at all.

but.

Arsenal players were furious at the contempt of the Sun reporter. What does that mean? You said we can't win the game even with the help of the referee? Have you never been beaten?

Arsenal players and fans were angry and the consequences were serious. They also forwarded the message to clarify that De Witt was absolutely not biased in his refereeing!

Manchester United fans were all eating melons. When all the players came to Old Trafford for training the next day, his teammates specifically asked Rooney how he felt about being forced to become a hot topic.

Rooney: “…” Damn, anyone who tries it will know how it feels to be used as a supporting role on the hot search.

The most infuriating thing is that his son Kai actually thinks Ivan is very handsome in black clothes! Clamoring to see him!

Son, the most handsome one is always your beloved dad, did you know?

So Ivan was on the hot search for three days, and finally alarmed the English Referees Committee.

After discussion, the committee, combined with the letter of recommendation submitted by international referee Weber, was left with a good impression of this young referee.

In addition, he is a former player, so his physical fitness is certainly needless to say. He is also a very famous white moonlight in the hearts of the English people, which is of great benefit to the shaping of the reputation of Premier League referees!

The Referees Committee is also very troubled by the recent frequent letters of complaint, and the chairman of the committee has expressed dissatisfaction with their work many times.

Irwin DeWitt? Strengthen observation and promote those who perform well!

Walter, one of the members of the committee, said that Irving could be added to the list of recommended candidates for the Champions League linesman who has not yet been determined.

His reason for this is: "Although we have top international referees like Weber and Boll, the successor has not yet been elected."

"Once they retire, England may face a lack of successors in the next decade."

"Ever since England's rising star Alvin de Witt retired, the England national team has been out of the European Championships, and even in the upcoming World Cup in South Africa, it is not competitive. This is cruel, guys, but this is the fact."

"Therefore, we need referees who can participate in major world competitions even more. This is related to our image."

"Devitt has a good reputation and people all over Europe know him. To some extent, his fame is even comparable to those meritorious players. As long as his refereeing level is up to standard, he can definitely serve as a golden signboard for England."

In the end, a majority of people approved the decision.

However, the linesmen for the group stage have already been determined, and a draft has also been drawn up for the quarter-finals. If possible, I would like to recommend that Ivan be a substitute assistant referee to feel the atmosphere.

Of course, in a few months, when Alvin has accumulated some experience as his resume, it should be no problem for the young man to serve as a linesman or fourth official in the Champions League. To a certain extent, if there are no accidents, the fourth official has less work to do and is not as tired as the linesman.

Walter narrowed his eyes and took a leisurely sip of tea.

He completed the instructions of the beautiful lady, Mrs. DeWitt.

Alas, it is so hard to win the heart of a beautiful woman.

They were college classmates and were fairly familiar with each other, but unfortunately he was the one-sided crush on them.

As a result, not long after graduation, he heard that the other party already had a child. He felt very disappointed at that time. Fortunately, I later found out that she was not married. It's possible if you're not married.

The older, infatuated leftover man who has been busy with his career and has never married still holds out hope.

【bite! Congratulations to the host for achieving the second hot search, and reward primary recovery potion x1]

Ivan was a little surprised.

[…The first time I retired, I was on the trending searches every day, right? Why is there no first time reward? ]

【bite! Because the first time you already have a novice gift pack, the front and back cancel each other out. 】

[……] Really stingy.

Alvin opened the panel and stared at his current bottle of primary physical strength potion and a bottle of primary recovery potion.

They are really useless at the moment.

But maybe it can be used in the future, otherwise there is no point in the system rewarding these.

[You mean, I should be on the headlines more often in the future? ]

【……】

The system is silent.

Very good, the no comment mode is turned on again.

He finally realized that the system would not tell him anything about achievement, and he had to figure it out on his own.

That night, Alvin welcomed his mother and grandmother.

They live separately and get together once in a while.

The three of them take turns to cook for whoever they go to.

Ivan's craftsmanship is generally recognized as the worst.

However, the two ladies still ate it no matter how disgusted they were.

Zhou Wen took a bite and commented:

“Dou Dou, you must have eaten takeout many times again.” He added too much salt, which was obviously the result of not cooking for a long time and losing the texture.

“…”

"Work is important, but you can't neglect your health."

“…”

"Hey, you have to find a wife who can cook in the future."

Gray couldn't help it: "Mom."

Zhou Wen was helpless, as she knew her daughter hated it most when she urged the younger generation to get married.

Fortunately, Alvin is not like her and does not obey orders.

The more she looked at her grandson, the cuter he became. Zhou Wen smiled and said, "Grandma brought you a lot of snacks. They are all your favorites. You can have them for breakfast tomorrow."

"You need to eat more. You've lost weight recently."

Gray smiled and said, "Ivan, what have you done recently? You have lost weight. The company is not busy recently. I have been very careful about the workload I assign to you."

"By the way, have you chosen the finished products from the advertising design department? The newest perfume will be launched next summer. We will try to finalize the script and cast by the end of this year."

Ivan's desire to survive burned fiercely: "Almost done, I'll show it to you the day after tomorrow."

"That's good."

"By the way," Gray wiped her hands and asked casually, "I went to the branch office to look for you yesterday afternoon. Why weren't you there?"

Poor Alvin froze.

Zhou Wen quickly changed the subject: "Don't talk about work during dinner time, Gray."

Gray glanced at Ivan meaningfully, as if telling him, stop pretending, I know very well that you are going to be a referee.

Alvin: “…”QAQ.

A division of the luxury fragrance brand Angerer Thames & Co.

Alvin sat in the office, looking at several advertising ideas submitted by the designers with a headache.

...In fact, Alvin, who is really just a layman, has no idea what kind of design is considered professional and high-end.

In his opinion, the only difference between perfume and perfume is whether it makes him sneeze or not.

He himself never uses perfume.

He doesn't care much about his appearance, as long as he looks neat and tidy.

He doesn't understand the world of art students.

Gray was also well aware of his limited abilities, so she arranged for a planning department director to be next to him so that he could learn from him.

…Now, all he had to do was listen to the debate between the planning director and several designers who came over one after another.

Designer Victor was still talking: "Mr. DeWitt, you see, the theme of our summer issue is "Angels", so I designed the overall tone of the advertisement to be very warm, which can perfectly match the top and bottom notes, giving a sweet feeling of first love..."

The head of the planning department standing next to him disagreed: "It can be seen that you are very attentive, young man, but isn't it too much to link angels with first love? You know, the style of first love is basically everywhere. My daughter who is still in high school is not keen on this tune."

"My first love-themed advertising design is different from those that emphasize the coexistence of youthfulness and sweetness. It is unique to angels. When people see angels for the first time, they fall deeply in love with them. This kind of first love is passionate, direct, and pure. No, you can't even understand it as an ordinary first love..."

He was interrupted mercilessly.

"Oh, after listening to you say so much, I still can't forget my first love."

"As the planning director, what I need is an advertisement that makes people who see it understand that people who use this perfume feel like they have seen an angel, not just a romantic relationship. This way, sales can be more widespread. You are too narrow-minded."

"Now what you have to do is to interpret what an angel is."

Victor blushed.

Anyone would feel frustrated when their creative ideas are completely denied.

The planning director was very satisfied with his understanding of "Angel". He looked at his parachuted superior, the son of the big boss.

"Mr. DeWitt, what do you think?"

There wasn't much respect in his eyes, it seemed like just a routine inquiry. A 40-year-old minister would not submit to such a young boss if the other party did not have any real ability.

In the conversation between the two people just now, the head of the planning department was completely dominant. Alvin was like a transparent person and was pushed aside.

Wait until the other party has made the final decision triumphantly before asking him symbolically.

His opinion doesn't matter.

Ivan's eyes moved across the two people's faces. With the help of dynamic vision, his eyesight became much more sensitive, and he could more easily analyze the emotions hidden in other people's eyes and subtle body language.

He tapped his fingers twice on the desk and smiled slowly, his dimples looming: "Mr. Minister, your suggestion to Victor is very malleable, but I think Victor's design ideas can be rejected completely. If you add your suggestions to his ideas, can't it not only interpret the theme of the perfume, but also meet people's expectations of the perfume?"

Victor's eyes lit up and he looked at Ivan with joy, excited that someone understood his work.

He is just an unknown little employee, and among several designers, he is the newest one that cannot be any newer. Being able to show himself in front of the little boss and get his recognition is enough to make him excited.

Irvin's idea was simple and crude. He just wanted the spokesperson to play the role of an angel and then meet another protagonist. He could make the post-production design more beautiful and conceive a novel scene. That would be it.

Most people are probably like him. They just want the perfume to be of the right age and don’t care about the style at all. They also don’t understand the designer’s thinking. Whatever the designer says, it is what it is. What the public cares about is whether the perfume smells unique, pleasant, and long-lasting.

Therefore, it would be better to invite a more famous star.

The planning director rejected several design works in a row, and was only quite satisfied with the oldest designer's more divergent ideas a few days ago.

Perfectionism makes him demand that the finished product of his work must be complex and gorgeous, so that it will appear high-end, stand out among perfume brands and be unique.

Since perfume has a wide audience, why make the promotion so complicated that people can't understand and have to guess the intention themselves? Excuse me for being frank, but the standard is set too high and it is hard to say whether it will be a successful advertisement.

Isn’t it better to be simple and clear, get straight to the point and let people remember its characteristics?

Without looking at the changing expression of the head of the planning department, Alvin leisurely changed to a more comfortable posture, leaned back in the chair, met Victor's eyes, and curled the corners of his mouth.

Then he saw Victor's eyes suddenly widen and his lips tremble, as if a fan saw his favorite star.

Ivan raised an eyebrow in confusion.

Victor rushed forward excitedly: "Mr. DeWitt, I think you are a perfect fit!"

He was a little incoherent: "You are so suitable to show this angel in my mind. Can you please smile again, just like you just now!"

“…”

Victor also realized his abruptness: "Oh, sorry, I was presumptuous."

"If you're willing, I think you can definitely star in this commercial. I guarantee that the sales will be great, for sure!"

The head of the planning department heard this as if he had heard something incredible: "Oh, are you here to play house, Victor? It's not your turn to worry about the casting."

Ivan paused with his hand on the table: "Victor, are you sure?"

"Yes, I'm sure you can!"

"Well," Ivan looked up at the middle-aged man with a dark face, "Young people are always creative, even though they are always reckless in your eyes. But, what's the harm in giving them a chance?"

The planning minister gritted his teeth and said, "Your decision is too hasty, Mr. DeWitt."

"Well, Ms. DeWitt asked you to supervise me anyway. If I mess up this time, you can report me. You know what kind of person my mother is. She would never abuse her power for personal gain. You don't have to do anything. I probably won't be sitting here the next day."

"We'll let the shooting effect and sales speak for themselves then, what do you think?"

"……"absurd!

The planning minister narrowed his eyes. They will pay the price for their ignorance and simple-mindedness. They are rash people who give orders without any experience!

We'll see, they'll regret their recklessness!

They will bring dust to a proud work!

"So, are the photographers in place? Where's the actress playing the leading lady? I'll report to Ms. Grey and the makeup and styling will be finalized next Wednesday. We'll start with the flat photo shoot and finalize the poster."

The publicity minister replied stiffly, "The actress who plays the leading role is Gal Gadot, and she is currently in Paris. Please make sure both of you have time, Mr. DeWitt."

"I think the commercial can be shot in Paris. The geographical background there should be more suitable for our theme," Ivan thought for a while and said, "Since Miss Gadot is in Paris, we don't need to bother her to come again."

Gal Gadot, this name seems familiar.

"Victor, the next commercial adaptation is up to you, since you want to...use me as the prototype."

Victor was so excited about the important task that he was breathing fast. He looked at Ivan with eagerness and admiration: "I can give you the manuscript next Monday. No, I can give it to you tomorrow, Mr. DeWitt!"

That was an advertisement for a new series of perfumes that the company had recently launched and that it attached great importance to!

A series of perfumes created by internationally renowned perfumers!

The author has something to say: C Ronaldo: I can cook.

Author: What else?

C Ronaldo: (Blushing) I can warm the bed.

Author: ...and what else?

C Ronaldo: (Silence) I will also take care of the children.

Irwin: ...very good.
