379 Chapter 379
Chloe stood up, stretched out her hand to the Asian woman across from her, and smiled in thanks. The Asian woman clenched her hand and thanked her as well, but her hand was a little stronger, and Chloe's face changed slightly. At this point, she said in her trademark cockney accent: "The first time I was a manager, I think it should be acting manager, was in the Championship, the game where Nick was suspended, you probably don't know ......"
"No, no, I know. Chloe didn't know why she suddenly brought it up, but she quickly interrupted her to explain, "My good friend John Krause always talks to me about that game, and he thinks your on-the-spot command talent was on full display in that game. I went to see the footage of that game because of this, I'm not a professional coach, but I agree with John. If I'm not mistaken, you ran into Jose after the game, right? Sorry for interrupting you, Christine, what were you trying to say?"
"Good memory. Lu Ling complimented, "Oh I just want to say that it was the first time I shook hands with the opposing manager as the manager of one side in the professional league, Sean Dyche, you know, big man, very tough. β
Chloe nodded in agreement, and the red-haired Jose Mourinho, a typical English man and a typical English coach, is still Burnley's manager. She has interviewed him many times, and his personality and behavior are quite interesting.
Lu Ling laughed when he said this, "I was afraid that he would look down on me, you know that men always shake hands very strongly, so I used a lot of force when I held his hand." It's stupid, isn't it? It's just that over time, it's become a habit for me. I'm sorry. β
Chloe suddenly realized that she had noticed her expression in the blink of an eye. They know each other, and she doesn't need to break it. She shook her head, "Don't care. I don't think you're alone now. That wasn't precise enough, Chloe pondered, and she immediately added, "I mean you were confident then, obviously, but now ...... you are the queenβ
Hearing the last sentence, Lu Ling showed a somewhat embarrassed smile, his brows furrowed, and he shrugged his shoulders exaggeratedly, "To be honest, I feel a little embarrassed every time people say this word in front of me, which makes me think that I am some kind of high school cheerleader, but in fact I was the captain of the football team when I was in high school." β
Chloe laughed, "It's so much fun to talk to you." β
"Thank you. The same goes for chatting with you. Chloe is undoubtedly an excellent host and reporter, and it was indeed a pleasure for Lu Ling to talk to her, although they were not familiar with each other and even had some minor frictions.
"Oh, I can't say I'm not honored. Chloe complimented again.
Lu Ling smiled, she looked down at her watch, the time was almost up, and she still had a plane to catch. She then said goodbye to the famous Sky Sports host and journalist, "Thank you again, Chloe. And please help me thank that friend of yours, John, a reporter from the Mirror, yes? I think I'll see him a lot soon. "At countless pre-match and post-match press conferences.
"I'll tell him. Chloe is seeing next season's QPR coach leave. The past hour has been wonderful, and they talked a lot about topics that are not related to football. Kristen Lue is as confident and calm as ever, talking openly about some previously unknown insider stories, and also cleverly avoiding many sensitive topics. When Christine left the room, Chloe quickly jumped up and said to one of the cameramen, "Hurry up and let me see that part." β
"It's the ......"
"Yes, the question we all thought she would avoid. β
The cameraman sighed as he rewinded, "She's such an unpredictable person, too much like her mentor." β
Chloe bent over the screen and retorted dismissively, "Mentor? I don't think even a cocky person like Nick Flores would call himself that now." Please turn up the sound, thanks. β
On the screen, Chloe asks Christine: "Your private life in the past few years is also a concern of people, and I noticed that you don't like to talk about it in front of the media, but people are inevitably curious and concerned." People will wonder if Kristen Lue's departure from QPR has anything to do with the death of her father, whether it has anything to do with her suspected affair with Patrick Amber and the club doesn't want you anymore? Or maybe people simply say that you're afraid of losing, and you don't dare to stay at a club for more than three years (three-year manager syndrome, many managers often have all sorts of unmanageable crises in their third year), so they run away after winning the title. Including your parting with current Real Madrid boss Nicolas Flores after leaving QPR, did your rivalry in the Premier League last season affect your relationship, or did it have anything to do with your past romance?
On the small screen, Kristen Lu's expression was extremely serious, she kept nodding her head, and after Chloe finished speaking, she adjusted her sitting posture a little and began to answer, still speaking quickly, "First of all, I understand these voices, this is human nature. I'm willing to confess that I'm not good at handling intimate relationships, as I always have, with my father and mother. I am not as rational and professional as I would like to be, which makes me feel in a difficult situation and doubt myself a lot of the time. When the manager of a club starts to doubt himself, then it is dangerous for the team. I can't talk about a lot of things here because I'm not going to be alone, and I'm sorry. I once said I wasn't close to my father, and that was probably a lie. My father played a very, very important role in my life, and I have to admit that his death had a great impact on me. When someone so important in your life leaves you in some way, it's painful, and that pain has a continuity and repetition, but, eventually, all the pain finds peace. It's the meaning of life, I think. Now I'm ready. I had been off for almost a year and I never imagined when I left the team that I would be back a year later, and I thought I would definitely go to other leagues and try something new. But honestly, in a sense, deep down in my heart, I had a feeling that New Queen's Park, Harrington was where I would definitely go back. β
Seeing this, Chloe straightened up and said, "All right." β
The cameraman turned his head and asked Chloe with a smile, "Do you think she's just talking about her father?"
Chloe glanced at the cameraman, noncommittal.
Of course not, isn't it?
It's just that, in addition to the current Real Madrid coach, it is unknown whether that passage also covers the beautiful boy who left Catalonia that year.

"Tina...... You're in Spain and you're not going to watch me play, really? I thought we were best friends. β
"I'm telling you now, we're not anymore, you can start crying.
"Oh come on, Spanish derby, are you really not interested? By the way, when I see you, I'll wipe snot and tears all over your neck. β
"You just try. Seriously, I'm interested, but my schedule doesn't allow it, and I've been a bit busy lately. β
"Okay...... Zoe greets you. Patrick rubbed the pit bull at his feet.
"Please help me tell her I miss her too and give her a kiss by the way. Take her back to London in the summer, it's cool. β
Patrick immediately picked up Zoe with one hand, and he kissed her on the top of the head. Zoe didn't seem to enjoy his kiss so much, struggling to slip away. "She doesn't like my kisses, go back and kiss yourself. Also, she may not like to be cool as much. I was thinking, in the summer, I'd take her to Bournemouth for a week, after the European Championships, of course. You can visit her in Bournemouth. β
"If only I had time. The flight attendant was smiling at Lu Ling, Lu Ling also smiled and nodded, and then she said into the phone, "I have to hang up, Pat, I'm ready to board." β
"Okay. Since you don't come yourself, I'll tell Nicholas for you......"
"Tell what?" Lu Ling was about to hang up, and was a little ignorant when he heard this.
"Greetings from Christine. β
"Oh, this ......," Lu Ling remembered, and she said with a smile, "That's just a joke." β
"Really?" asked Patrick earnestly, waiting for two seconds before replying, "I can be a messenger for you, Tina." There was still no sound on the other end, and Patrick took the phone away from his ear and looked at it, and at some point it was broken.
Signal is always an issue. He thought.

In the afternoon when he arrived in Valencia, the capital of Valencia Province, the rain soaked the entire sky, and Lu Ling originally thought that it would be a warm day.
Before leaving the airport hall, she passed by a couple who were arguing.
"I've had enough, Fabio, I don't want to see you again!"
"Please don't say that, babe, we can make things better, on, bae"
"Don't call me that, I'm serious, we should break up. β
"But ......"
Behind, Lu Ling didn't hear clearly, she walked out of the airport.
A serious emotional relationship is always accompanied by a variety of problems, which is not terrible, in the process of solving problems, in such a process, each other may be closer, but it may also go to the other side, gradually creating a larger gap, and finally collapse on one side or both parties are no longer willing to solve the problem.
The rain fell on top of her head, and she felt as if she heard someone calling her "Hey Babe" behind her. It was an illusion, and the truth was that there was a voice in her heart that was saying ciao. 166 Reading Network
