Out of some bad taste, Mendes gave up on telling Mourinho and Cassie the news after an initial outburst.

"I think Ann has a point, and I'm curious that they try to suggest to you, 'You're supposed to be a couple,' 'Why aren't you together,' but they fail, and finally find out that you've actually had the same look on your face when you've been together for a long time — I could probably use that joke for the rest of my life. But of course, that's not the main reason," Mendes said in all seriousness, "and more importantly, I'm worried that they will come to me and cry 'Ann doesn't have us anymore in her heart'." ”

If Mendes hadn't laughed out loud at the time, it would have been very convincing.

-- But even so, the Christmas holidays are destined to be eventful.

"Launch a brand?" Gu Bei helped Dolores bring a cup of coffee to Mendes, who came to visit, and she looked at Cristiano, "Do you start preparing this year?" ”

Cristiano's personal brand was in 2013, but even after New Year's Day, it was only 2011, and although it was reasonable to prepare for more than two years, Gu Bei obviously felt that it was too long - some things had happened since she was reborn, and she was a little worried about whether something bad would happen to the butterfly's wings if she waved it again.

"Yes, it's not easy to create a brand," Mendes kindly explains, "and just choosing a partner is a very time-consuming process. Not to mention the later design issues and publicity, I even doubt that two years is enough. ”

Mendez said, his eyes flickering between the two, and then looked at Dolores outside the window holding little Cristiano in the sun, "So, did you sue Sù Dolores?" ”

Cristiano shook his head triumphantly, "I thought it was not much fun to make my whole story public to the whole world - I was going to tell them who my bride was when I got married, and their expressions would be very interesting, just like when they heard that I was a father." ”

'You taught him?' ’

No, he came up with it himself, and I just knew. ’

'Why don't you leave him alone!' ’

'Is it my fault?' Ms. Dolores and you didn't take care of him! ’

Mendez and Gu Bei exchanged words seriously in the 'Blocking Cristiano Grouping Channel', and then closed the channel. Mendes looked at Cristiano and said as gently and lovingly as possible: "Okay, okay, then let's not talk about this, talk about your brand, what are you going to recommend first?" Sportswear or what? As for sneakers, I don't recommend you to do this for the time being, after all, you still have Nike's endorsement. If you launch sneakers, it is easy to cause contract disputes. ”

"I haven't thought about this yet," Cristiano honestly admitted, and successfully exchanged the double eyes of Gu Bei and Mendes, "I'm not saying that I haven't thought about launching anything, I'm saying that I haven't thought about launching a sports series or something." Actually, I'm in favor of the idea of being a brand, mainly because I want to launch my own fragrance line. ”

"Sporty men's cologne?" Mendes created a definition, "This is not impossible, in fact, to be honest, I think that no matter what you launch, there are people who are willing to cooperate with you, and I have observed several partners who are interested in this, but in general, I think it is better to launch the clothing category first, especially sportswear." After testing the waters, think about other situations - that's what your manager did with me. ”

This is consistent with Gu Bei's previous experience, since the more thoughtful of these two people has proposed a mature proposal, Gu Bei naturally feels that there is no need for him to sit here - even his wife can't interfere in everything, not to mention that this is still an economic and investment field that he really doesn't understand, "I don't understand what you're talking about, I'll go and see if Ms. Dolores needs help." ”

Mendez smiled and watched Gu Bei go to play with Dolores and little Cristiano, and then turned to Cristiano and said, "Anyway, you made a very good choice." Although sometimes I was worried that Ann would threaten me, I could be honest, you should really be looking for a woman who is more mature and reliable than you. He raised an eyebrow, "Ann is always calm, and I have to praise her for that." ”

People who have a sense of proportion and boundaries are always a little cuter. Mendes himself likes to control his feelings, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know how annoying this kind of person really is. Every beautiful girl Cristiano had met before would be classified as a 'suspicious crowd' by him, but Gu Bei obviously dispelled his concerns.

Gu Bei loves Cristiano - from the dual perspective of a fan and a woman. Fans, hopefully he can do anything; And the woman, I want him to be happy.

That sounds like Mendes' wish.

Cristiano put down the water glass for a moment, raised his eyebrows and looked at Mendes, his eyes widened as if in disbelief, "What do you mean to be more mature and reliable than me, am I not a mature and reliable gentleman?" But when he said this, he couldn't help but giggle, as if he also felt that he had said something very funny.

Mendes, who felt the malice of the whole world and was slightly congested: ......

"I'm so glad to see you so happy...... Mendez covered his eyes and said nonsense, "can we have adult conversations now?" First of all, why do you want to make perfume first? Do you have any idea what you want to do now? I don't really understand it, but the collaborators did ask me about it, and they care about your brand positioning and philosophy. He paused and pulled out the email from the app on his phone, "They have given me several references, and you can listen to that one." ”

Mendez cleared his throat, "In terms of positioning, there are casual, sports, formal wear and haute couture - I personally don't recommend the latter two, and we all think the pricing is mid-to-high-end." In terms of concept, they are more unified, they are more inclined to simple fashion, 'don't be too demanding to be at the forefront of fashion, after all, men's clothing is generally simpler than women's clothing' - they wrote. But they also asked me to ask you a question, are you going to wear women's clothes? ”

Cristiano tilted his head and thought for a moment, "What do you mean, what's the difference?" What will happen if I go? ”

"If the interested party thinks you make women's clothing...... You know, put your name on the women's clothing," Mendes said, with an indescribable expression, "doesn't that sound a bit of a hooligan - although we're not really worried about its sales." ”

While some fans may not object to such an approach, it is not easy to do when it has a negative impact - Mendes feels that even if he wants to develop the wallets of female customers, it must be after Cristiano has an openly stable relationship, as Beckham and Victoria did.

Cristiano took a closer look at it and nodded approvingly, "That sounds a little bit." I don't think Ann will agree, she will definitely say that it is not good for the image. ”

Mendez said sullenly: "So the first thing you think about doing things now is what Ann thinks?" If you're like that, why do I need to quarantine you both, excuse me? He sighed, "Forget it, let's let her take you directly, and save you from having to find fault with me for three days and two assistants." ”

"Don't!" Cristiano sternly rejected Mendes' kindness, "This is absolutely not good!" Ann said that she likes to snatch it back by herself, and she will prefer it if she snatches it back. ”

Mendes looked at Cristiano with a smile and nodded gently to his rhythm, "You know what? I'm thinking now that I really am the best person in the world about you—at least one of them. He looked at Cristiano's puzzled expression and kindly explained, "'The first thing you think about doing things now is how Ann feels.'" Cristiano, the more you like someone, the easier it is to lose her, you know what I mean? ”

Caring is not good. Cristiano somehow suddenly remembered Gu Bei's favorite line from Mycroft.

He frowned, as if he was a little confused, "You mean Ann will leave me?" Will she? ”

"I just wanted to tell you that Ann may really need a little time and space to be herself." Mendes looked at Gu Bei outside the window, "But to be honest, if I were you, I might also try to separate one eye to look at her." ”

Cristiano's mind was immediately shifted, "I knew you could understand me, Jorge, seriously, that's why I told you that I was going to launch a fragrance line first!" He waved his hand, "Although I think this kind of thing is really like holding hands with the little girl I like when the teacher is back writing the board book during class...... Particularly. But I also have to admit that this makes me feel very uneasy, very! ”

As an experienced adult, Mendez looked directly at the little panic in his heart, "Don't, Cristiano, please, don't sue me...... I don't want to know what you're thinking. ”

Cristiano's eyes widened in confusion, "Why?" Isn't it something nasty to have my girlfriend spray perfume named after me? By the way, if I go for haute couture, can women's clothing be labeled with my name? ”
