Chapter 20 What are your measurements?

“Welcome everyone to St. Mary’s Stadium!”

Southampton does not have a full-time press officer yet, so Sun Yue from the marketing department will temporarily take over the role of host.

"Now, please welcome our new boss of Southampton, Mr. Yang Huan, and the club's executive chairman, Mr. Nicola Cortes!" Following Sun Yue's gesture, all the cameras in the venue were aimed at the exit.

Yang Huan and Nicola Cortes walked out one after the other with a smile on their faces. When they came to the front of the stage, they showed a polite gesture of giving way.

Everyone at the scene was shocked.

Didn’t they say that Southampton’s executive chairman Nicola Cortes has fallen out of favor?

Didn’t they say that he was scolded badly by his new boss?

How come their relationship doesn't seem as bad as rumored outside, but instead seems to be as hot as honey?

acting!

This is definitely acting!

As soon as the two men sat down, the reporters at the scene also returned to their seats, waiting for them to speak.

At Yang Huan's instruction, Nicholas Cortes spoke first.

"I am very grateful to all the journalists, media and fans who care about Southampton. I want to say that most of the rumors about Southampton in recent days are untrue. We have filed a lawsuit in court and I believe everyone will get the news soon."

As soon as Nicola Cortes finished speaking, the scene exploded again.

bring the action?

A football club suing its former manager? For libel? Or something else?

This is a lively and fresh topic!

"We are very grateful to Mr. Alan Pardew for his contribution to the team in the past season, but we are also extremely disappointed with a series of irresponsible remarks made by him and his team recently. We specially held this press conference today to clarify the truth to everyone."

"Please take a look at the surveillance video of our training ground that day."

As Nicholas Cortes pointed his finger, the press conference hall suddenly became dark, and light and shadow appeared on the big screen in the corner.

Judging from the timing of the surveillance video, it happened exactly when Alan Pardew was fired.

The surveillance route showed that Alan Pardew did not appear at the training ground during the entire training period. He only arrived late when Yang Huan, Nicola Cortes and others arrived at the training ground, and he pointed at Yang Huan and scolded him as soon as he arrived.

Yang Huan did not disturb the team's training from beginning to end, but the dispute between the two sides on the sidelines caused the training to be suspended.

"This is our edited footage. If necessary, we can provide more than half an hour of surveillance video of the entire process."

Nicholas Cortes had to admire Sun Yue. This guy must have thought of this trick a long time ago.

Alan Pardew is so pitiful. How could he forget that there are surveillance cameras at the training ground when he was lying?

"One thing I want to clarify is that on that day, when Mr. Yang Huan arrived at the training ground, he saw that the head coach was not there and the assistant coach was leading the team in endurance training. He curiously asked why they were not training with the ball but just practicing running."

"Perhaps, in the eyes of Mr. Alan Pardew, this is the reason why the new boss affects his training and preparations."

All the reporters recorded it carefully. The evidence released by Southampton was shocking to them because it completely overturned all the previous statements made by Alan Pardew.

In other words, the victim that they had been hyping up for the past three days was actually lying!

This made all the reporters present feel their cheeks burning, as if they had been slapped hard in the face.

"Here, I also want to raise a question. Mr. Alan Pardew said that Mr. Yang Huan interfered with his training. However, from the surveillance video, he did not lead the team training at all, and there was no sign of any interference or influence from Mr. Yang Huan. We can let the team's players and coaches testify to this."

"Also, Alan Pardew said that Mr. Yang Huan humiliated English football and thought that English football was rubbish. This is not true. I can guarantee it with my personal integrity. At that time, Mr. Yang Huan was very angry and called Alan Pardew a rubbish coach who led the least creative Charlton in the Premier League, etc., but he did not make any remarks that humiliated English football. This is a rumor and slander!"

"Finally, we would like to announce that after Alan Pardew and his assistant team decided to leave Southampton, several of our players followed him. This was agreed on the spot by Mr. Yang Huan, and I agree with it. We only accept and welcome players who want to play for Southampton."

"However, after the club risked losses and allowed these players to leave on free transfers, they spread rumors and slander in interviews with the media. We have all filed lawsuits in court to hold them accountable."

After Nicholas Cortes finished speaking, everyone in the audience fell silent, and everyone was obviously surprised.

If all of this is true, it would completely overturn their previous accusations against Southampton.

And their previous support for Alan Pardew will become aiding and abetting the evil!

Someone was the first to react and immediately raised his hand.

It was none other than the reporter for Les Echos du Southern, Charlene Lahiri.

"Mr. Yang Huan, why did you announce the dismissal of Alan Pardew on the first day you took over the team? Why didn't you clarify it immediately when you had enough evidence to prove it? Also, after dismissing Alan Pardew, what are Southampton's plans? What are their goals for the new season?"

Charlene Lahiri has a clear voice and speaks very quickly, giving people a very clean feeling.

Yang Huan blocked Nicola Cortes who wanted to answer for him, smiled and nodded at the beautiful reporter, thinking to himself, she was already very beautiful when she was sitting just now, and now that she was standing up, her figure was even more charming and attractive.

"Let me answer your last two questions first. Southampton is a strong and established team. We should not stay in League One. This does not suit our strength and identity. We should be in the Premier League. So I have only one plan and goal, which is to return to the Premier League within two years. I believe we can do it."

Many people at the scene were shocked. This goal was neither big nor small.

But in the English League One, who dares to say that they will be able to return to the Premier League within two years?

Even in the Championship, no one dares to boast about this!

Especially considering that Southampton has already failed to get promoted once!

"As for why I fired Alan Pardew? I believe everyone knows that he is not a qualified coach in my mind. Moreover, since he failed to lead Southampton to the Championship last season, I don't think he can succeed this season. I can't pin all the team's hopes on a person who has been proven to be a failure."

Alan Pardew's resume is indeed tragic. He coached West Ham United, but West Ham United was relegated. He coached Charlton, but Charlton was relegated again. Later, he coached Southampton in English League One, but the powerful Saints failed to be promoted.

You can tell how capable this person is from his resume.

Seeing that Yang Huan remained silent after he finished speaking, Charlene Lahiri raised her hand again, "There is one more question you haven't answered, Mr. Yang Huan."

"Oh." Yang Huan smiled. I didn't realize that she was such a stubborn girl.

"The reason why we didn't respond and clarify immediately was mainly because we put all our energy into finding a new head coach. So, as soon as we found a new head coach, we immediately held a press conference to clarify."

As for Yang Huan's explanation, some reporters believed it, some doubted it, but Charlene Lahiri refused to believe it.

She felt that this was a conscious hype by Southampton.

This cunning Chinese is taking advantage of the media all over the UK!

"Mr. Yang Huan, you just said that you have found a new head coach. Who is it?" a male reporter stood up and asked.

Yang Huan shook his head and smiled, "I'm sorry, we can't reveal more for now, but I can guarantee that he will be a world-famous coach and all of you will be surprised."

These words undoubtedly aroused the addiction of all the reporters present. Their favorite thing to do is to dig deep into people's privacy.

Yang Huan said he is a world-famous coach and is willing to coach in the English League One. Who is he?

While everyone was discussing the matter, Sun Yue, Nicola Cortes and Yang Huan secretly exchanged smug glances with each other.

These three guys are all bad-intentioned and are not good people!

…………

…………

At the beginning of the press conference, Southampton clarified Alan Pardew's attack and proposed to appeal, but less than halfway through, almost everyone's attention shifted to Southampton's new head coach.

A world-famous coach is willing to coach in English Football League One, and he is parachuted in during such a turmoil. Who has the quality to do this?

From the time Yang Huan arrived in London and acquired Southampton to the present day, the Saints have appeared on the pages of major British newspapers almost every day, because of various controversial events and rumors, which have become the focus of reporters and the media.

Charlene Lahiri has a keen sense of news. She knows that this is not a coincidence, but a conscious news hype, the purpose of which is to hype up Southampton in the English League One.

She could even conclude that in the next two or three days, everyone would be paying attention to Southampton's new coach.

So after the press conference, she waited at the gate of St. Mary's Stadium for more than an hour before Yang Huan and the bodyguards behind him arrived.

"Mr. Yang Huan!" Charlene Lahri immediately chased after Yang Huan as soon as she saw him.

"Oh, it's you. You haven't left yet?" Yang Huan was a little surprised and asked jokingly, "Did you stay here specially to wait for me?"

Charlene Lahiri felt that Yang Huan's words were a bit frivolous and she felt a little disgusted, but for the sake of the exclusive inside information, she could only maintain a polite attitude, "Yes, I would like to ask you a few questions in private, is that okay?"

"No!" Yang Huan shook his head. Although he liked beautiful women, it didn't mean that his legs would go weak when he saw a beautiful woman.

"Or, can you reveal some more clues?"

Yang Huan still shook his head, "Sorry, this is the secret of our club."

"A secret?" Charlene Lahiri wanted to laugh. What secrets could not be told these days?

"That's right!" Yang Huan nodded seriously, "Just like if I rashly asked, Miss Lahiri, what are your measurements? I believe you would definitely call me a pervert and then leave angrily, but you would definitely not tell me."

"Because this is your secret."

Charlene Lahiri secretly hated this guy in her heart, thinking that he was a pervert.

"If I tell you my measurements, will you tell me who your new head coach is?"

“No, no, no!” Yang Huan quickly shook her head and waved her hands, “You misunderstood, Ms. Lahiri, I was just giving an example, and I’m not interested in knowing, so don’t tell me.”

Yang Huan thought to himself, even if you don’t tell me, I can guess roughly what it is by myself.

The Southern Echo where Charlene Lahiri works is just a branch of the Echo in the south. It does not have much influence and is considered a small newspaper with its headquarters in Southampton. If she can rely on this relationship to dig up more inside information, not only will the sales of the newspaper increase, but Charlene Lahiri herself will also be able to benefit from the increase.

Maybe, in the future, I will have the opportunity to work for heavyweight newspapers such as The Times and The Guardian.

Anyway, it’s just the measurements, who knows whether it’s true or not?

After weighing the pros and cons, Charlene gritted her teeth and said, "36D, 24, 36, these are my measurements."

When Yang Huan heard this, he was a little stunned. This proportion, this figure, isn’t it too perfect?

Zhang Ning's figure is more well-proportioned, which is the best in the East, while Charlene Lahiri's figure is typical, which is quite hot even in the West.

I really didn't realize that such a charming and well-proportioned body was hidden under the black and white professional suit.

This gave Yang Huan the urge to take off all his clothes and find out what was going on.

Feeling Yang Huan's fiery gaze, Charlene Lahiri's face turned red, but soon returned to normal.

"Can you tell me now who the new head coach is?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Huan immediately forced out a bitter smile, "I didn't want you to tell me just now, but you insisted on telling me. Isn't this making it difficult for me? Are you trying to trick me into making a mistake?"

Seeing his innocent expression, Charlene Lahiri wanted to kill him. "Stop talking nonsense and hurry up."

Yang Huan smiled and sighed, "Forget it, you are a beauty after all. Beautiful women usually have privileges."

As he spoke, Yang Huan took a step forward, got in front of Charlene Lahiri, and immediately smelled a faint fragrance.

Charlene Lahiri took a step back before he could get close.

"Are you going to listen or not?"

Charlene Lahiri gritted her teeth and said, "Listen, hurry up and speak."

She secretly decided in her heart that if the name Yang Huan said disappointed her, she would curse the bastard to death in the newspaper.

Yang Huan approached her but kept a certain distance, leaning forward slightly and getting close to her face. From this angle, he could see a small piece of pink and smooth skin inside the collar of her shirt.

"Tomorrow morning at 9:20, London Heathrow Airport."

By the time Charlene Lahri reacted, Yang Huan had already greeted Long Wu with a smile and handed her a business card.

"Your skin is very white and tender, black suits you very well!"

"Also, if you want to exchange conditions in the future, feel free to contact me."

Charlene Lahri heard Yang Huan's words from afar and immediately guessed that she was exposed. She was so angry that she wanted to kill someone.

"You better be careful!"
