Chapter 163: Too Much Information, a Little Confused!
Heyβ"
Arthur stood in front of the coffee table in the living room of the master suite, shook his head and smiled bitterly and sighed lightly, looking at the message on the note in his hand, his mood was extremely complicated.
"Let's be apart for a while, and we'll all think it through. Because I don't know how long it will last. β
Emilia still chose to leave, and didn't even say goodbye to herself in person, just when he saw the message, he took out the phone and wanted to contact her, but he refused to answer all, there was no way, he could only call his cheap sister and ask her to contact Amilia.
After listening to Arthur's explanation on the phone, Eddie hung up the phone after leaving a sentence of 'you are such a bastard', but this also put Arthur at ease a little.
Seriously, he never imagined that Emilia would react so violently.
However, after all, it is not an official breakup, and after a while, she may be able to figure it out and get out of the entanglement.
I never imagined that my success would bring huge pressure to the other party.
For Emilia's choice, Arthur didn't get too entangled, not because he was unkind and ruthless, but because in his opinion, the matter was not so serious, and it would be good if she was angry.
What's more, at the beginning of the world and the world, how can it stay for whom!
Looking at the sticky notes in his hand, but relieved for no reason, Arthur smiled self-deprecatingly, folded the sticky notes, took out the wallet from his pocket, and put it in the wallet.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Arthur, accompanied by two directors of the club, arrived at 12 Lancaster Gate in West London, the home of the famous FA.
As one of the oldest football organizations in the world, its offices are old and old, and the building is a world of labyrinthine corridors and dreary conference rooms
The FA was originally established to unify the rules of football, and naturally it has continued to maintain the final say in the development of English football.
However, modern football has formed a relatively unified competition norm around the world, and the traditional concept of the British is "don't fix something if it's not broken", so the FA's right to make a FA is basically a sword used to town houses. I take it out once in a while and use it once, and I often make some jokes that make people cry and laugh.
As for reviewing football competitions in England, the power to dispatch and manage referees for all leagues in England and to discipline those involved in football is a very reviled function.
Therefore, the above two responsibilities of the FA are basically a relationship of "I have two news, one is bad news and the other is bad news" for the majority of fans.
What is even more criticized is that the FA's board members are a bunch of football laymen. So there are often fans who say, hey, you guys should hurry up and die.
Of course, the FA will definitely not do such a thing. So, in order to change the daily routine of the fans who eat and sleep.
Therefore, the FA has recruited talented people from all walks of life to make up for its congenital lack of professionalism, set up several committees and associations, and engaged in a rather complex organizational structure to manage all aspects of English football.
In addition, seven subsidiaries have been established to regulate the operation system of professional football in England. The relationship between the seven companies is equivalent to seven gourd babies, each with its own skills, and after the combination, it is the FA brand gourd King Kong.
This time to receive Arthur is the FA vice president xi David Gill, the meeting place is also in David Gill's office, the atmosphere is not as serious and formal as imagined, but as soon as they meet, David Gill smiled and explained that Arthur made too much movement, and the FA was forced to go through a formality.
In the past, the FA only had to correspond to a small group of relatively well-known newspaper and media reporters, and when the relationship was good, they were close, and when they were bad, they were at most respectful.
However, the media ecology and news needs have changed after entering the new century, in addition to the old football media, there are now more dirty businessmen who run gossip tabloids, many newly established sports and news channels, 24-hour news paparazzi, continuous expansion of overseas media groups, and occasional reports on the business and financial pages, so that the FA has to face strong public opinion pressure, and it has to be taken seriously.
βγγγ As our Premier League becomes more successful and influential around the world, we can't ignore some of the discordant and embarrassing behaviour that has crept back into the game in the last two years.
Almost every good club has thousands of good supporters, but those embarrassing behaviours have become a growing problem and we have to find a way to fix it. We all have a responsibility to represent this country in the right way, and that is exactly what we have tried to emphasize.
IT IS KNOWN THAT A LOT OF DISCORDANT BEHAVIOR IS CAUSED BY DRINKING ALCOHOL AND DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES ON MATCH DAY.
We at the FA have always wanted people to look at themselves and start thinking, would it be a pleasant experience if my relatives, wife or children were here?
The answer is definitely no. What do you think, Your Excellency?"
Although it was said to be a formality, the words of David Gill in front of him, although tactful but hidden, not only expressed the FA's attitude towards football, but also did not forget to use a top hat to frame Arthur and let him make a statement.
Arthur smiled and nodded, complaining to himself, it seems that the FA is not completely at ease with him, and may be really worried that he, the owner of the club with a busy football background, will say or do something to encourage those embarrassing behaviors.
"I fully agree with the FA that drinking and doing whatever you want on match day is a recipe for a lot of trouble, especially when young people my age often behave uncivilly and irrationally.
As a member of English football, we at Southampton very much hope that all fans can be civilized and reasonable, and do not do condemnable things to discredit the team, and at the same time, we also hope that the Football Team's punishment of those troublesome fans can also sound a wake-up call for irrational fans. β
After listening to Arthur's words, although David Gill felt a little weird, but now that he got the answer he wanted, he no longer dwelled on this question, after all, he also believed that the young and golden, calm and elegant earl in front of him, may have made mistakes in the past because of his youth and frivolity, but now he will never do those behaviors that will discredit his image.
Unless Arthur is really a second guy with a full head and muscles, however, David Gill doesn't think Arthur is a second guy no matter how he looks at it.
The matter was settled, and the conversation became more and more relaxed, Arthur could feel that this David Gill was becoming more and more friendly to him, with obvious intention to make friends, Arthur is naturally not the kind of arrogant person who is stunned, get to know each other, and build a good relationship with each other, this is the beginning of his own network in the football world.
Finally, they exchanged opinions and ideas on youth training, and after that, the two jointly attended interviews with several specially prepared media, revealing to the outside world the process and conversation content of the FA's interview with Arthur, and jointly published the reputation of 'urging fans to control their own behavior: football hooligans are shameful', which can be regarded as a successful end to the controversy that has been boiling with the outside world.
Walking out of the FA office building, ignoring the media reporters who came out and continued to pestering around him, he walked quickly to the Rolls-Royce on the side of the road, got into the car and drove away.
However, perhaps because he has been so hot and talked about recently, reporters do not intend to let him go.
"Boss, we're being followed, and it's three cars, it's supposed to be those reporters. Bell, the bodyguard captain who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned back to Arthur and reported.
Arthur frowned slightly, groaned and said, "Don't go to the financial city, go back to the hotel directly." β
"Good boss. β
Arthur knew that from the moment his whereabouts were revealed, he no longer had to think about free activities, and as the hottest topic, the paparazzi would try their best to get news and photos about him.
Even if there are only photos, the British tabloids who are good at creating bloody news will make up some pictures to talk to satisfy the curiosity of those people who eat melons, after all, a young and wealthy aristocratic earl like him, and a high-profile and controversial aristocratic earl, is too rare in the UK.
When I returned to the Four Seasons Hotel, it was almost five o'clock, and I took out my mobile phone and called Eddie, wanting to know about Emilia's situation, but refused directly, which made Arthur shake his head helplessly.
With nothing to do for the time being, he had to take out his laptop, sort out his thoughts, and start coding.
It wasn't until around six o'clock that Arthur received a call from the hotel front desk and learned that Eddie had arrived at the Four Seasons Hotel.
When he saw Eddie, Arthur looked at her gloomy expression and couldn't help frowning and asked, "Why are you here, Amilia?"
"She's back to her parents' house, what the hell is going on with you? The newspaper reports can't be true, are they, are you really involved with that Gilly Hazel?" Eddie asked with a frown, his eyes sharp as he stared at Arthur, and his voice was cold.
How could Arthur be timid, he also frowned slightly, and said with some chagrin: "How is it possible, I have explained it before, it is just a commercial hype, who would have thought that Emilia would care so much... β
Eddie tilted his head, stared at Arthur with a pair of eyes, hoping to find something from Arthur's face, examined it for a long time, and finally shook his head and complained: "Maybe you hide it well enough, but after I read those photos in the newspaper, I can't believe that you have nothing to do with that Jili, let alone Emilia."
Eyes and expressions can't deceive people, you may be able to hide it well, the ninth wonder is not hidden, a woman's intuition is very accurate!"
Eddie sneered and looked at his cheap brother, shook his head and continued helplessly: "Emilia has already decided to go to the United States, and she will leave in the next two days, so I asked her not to be with you from the beginning, she just won't listen, you bastard, why do you always want to attack my friends?"
"What do you mean?" asked Arthur with a slightly ugly frown.
"Hehe, play stupid, right! From middle school to high school, because of you, I've lost three friends, and now Emilia is probably the fourth, you're a bastard!" Eddie gritted his teeth and scolded and turned away angrily.
Leaving Arthur standing in place, the corners of his mouth twitching with a confused expressionγγγγγγ
