Pick up from back:

On the second day after Nuan Xiaoxi's mother landed in Shengcheng, she held a two-day meeting of regional city managers of the picture-in-picture provincial branch. Nuan Xiaoxi did not participate in the important promotion activities in Shengcheng, and the meeting was assisted by Li Benjia, deputy general manager of the real estate company.

After Nuan Xiaoxi accompanied Liu Xinyang to participate in the real estate promotion activities in the Shengcheng area, the two of them lived a sweet and sweet life together. Although it is simply a supermarket and a home-cooked meal, both of them are so content.

On the second day of Nuan Xiaoxi's mother's meeting, Nuan Xiaoxi drove Liu Xinyang to Mengxi Stadium to watch the home game of Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club.

"This box is so beautiful, who designed it? You designed it? Liu Xinyang asked when he entered the box, and then Liu Xinyang walked around.

Then Nuan Xiaoxi watched the TV by himself and listened to the TV commentary. Liu Xinyang, who didn't know how to play on the side, ate barbecue with Nuan Xiaoxi's secretary and chatted about the topics between women, which further narrowed the relationship between himself and Nuan Xiaoxi's secretary Xiaohu.

Nuan Xiaoxi turned up the voice of the TV, and the familiar football commentary on the TV came out.

"Coach Tong, what do you think of the recent transfer moves of the Hangzhou team?" The narrator asked the child guide.

Nuan Xiaoxi, who suddenly heard the words "Hangzhou team", couldn't help but think of Wu Yue, the general manager of the Hangzhou team, a name that was both unfamiliar and familiar to Nuan Xiaoxi.

The scenes of the two of them in Shengcheng and the capital quickly flashed in Nuan Xiaoxi's mind, lingering. Nuan Xiaoxi still doesn't understand it to this day, why?

Nuan Xiaoxi squinted again, and it seemed that there was Liu Xinyang talking and laughing on the side, knowing that he was nothing more than sad in vain.

"Do you think there is hope for the Shengcheng team this season? This is also the question that we want to ask the most from provincial fans. The narrator looked at the child guide and asked.

"It's still early to see this, and it can only be said that there is hope. After all... ”

"Forget it," Nuan Xiaoxi had a conclusion in his mind. didn't finish listening to the TV commentary, so I turned off the TV directly, got up and walked to the balcony with a melancholy face.

Nuan Xiaoxi looked at the Mengxi Stadium, densely packed with fans in the stands, a large red patch.

Listen to the familiar shouts and cheers:

"Knock knock..." "Sheng... The city will win! ”

"Knock knock..." "Sheng... The city will win! ”

"Knock knock..." "Sheng... The city will win! ”

"Knock knock..." "Sheng... The city will win! ”

"Knock knock..." "Sheng... The city will win! ”

Club flags fluttering on the sidelines, streamers neatly falling from the stands.

"It's really imposing." Liu Xinyang didn't know when he also walked to the balcony of the box and stayed by Nuan Xiaoxi's side.

"Hmm." Nuan Xiaoxi leaned on the railing of the balcony and glanced back at Liu Xinyang.

Liu Xinyang hugged Nuan Xiaoxi's arm and hugged Nuan Xiaoxi tightly, "Are you worried that you won't be able to advance?" Still can't win the FA Cup? ”

"Hmm... Nuan Xiaoxi did not answer.

"Don't think about it, the game takes so long to end, are you depressed every day?" Liu Xinyang comforted.

However, Nuan Xiaoxi was still expressionless and did not speak.

"Don't they all say that football is round? I think you must have a chance. Liu Xinyang said seriously.

"Football is not round." Nuan Xiaoxi replied in the affirmative.

"Huh?" This time it was Liu Xinyang's turn to be speechless.

"Football is round, and it would have been explained that a weak football team can also play an unexpected game and win the game." Nuan Xiaoxi patiently explained to Liu Xinyang, "And the football I said is not round, because if you want to win in a long-term game, you must work hard every day and accumulate over time." ”

"Oh." Liu Xinyang nodded.

"So a game can have a chance outcome, but winning a series of games requires the hard work of our players and the logistics of the team to win, not by chance! Then to put it bluntly, there are rules. There are regular things, but they can't be handled by being slick. Nuan Xiaoxi held Liu Xinyang and said.

"Then you, do you believe you will advance?"

"Of course I believe them, you have to know that almost 400 million has been invested this season!"

"Huh?"

"Yes, I'm promoted next year, and I still have to invest." Nuan Xiaoxi said a little helplessly.

"That's a lot, I want to play too." Liu Xinyang said coquettishly.

"Good, good, good." Nuan Xiaoxi touched Liu Xinyang's face, "Actually, there is too much homework owed in front of us, so let's just lay the foundation." I guess that's what it's doing now, it should be able to break even in a few years! ”

"Huh? After a few years, still not profitable? ”

"It's difficult, one is the industrial chain of fans, and domestic IP doesn't pay attention to it, so this piece has a lot of losses. In a broadcast right, there is basically not much, and the advertising revenue is eaten up by the TV station. Nuan Xiaoxi explained.

"Well, no wonder no company wants to take over a football team." Liu Xinyang also understands a little.

"You know that." Nuan Xiaoxi was a little surprised, looked at Liu Xinyang and asked.

"Don't I attend dinners once in a while? It's just that I heard from those bosses, saying that doing football, the government doesn't support it, and you can't play it at all. Liu Xinyang said seriously.

"Well, that's true." After Nuan Xiaoxi answered, he turned his face to look at the stadium again.

At this time, the game has already begun, and the Shengcheng team at home completed an effective tackle at the beginning, and midfielder Li Tie took the ball and moved forward.

"By the way, you won the FA Cup away, and the Changchun team that will play at home in the Super League next time, do you think you are sure?" Liu Xinyang asked seriously.

"Yo, you know a lot." After listening to this, Nuan Xiaoxi turned her face to look at Liu Xinyang and smiled.

"No, I'm at least a serious fan."

"You can pull it down, I think you can rub the traffic, hahaha..." Nuan Xiaoxi laughed after speaking.

"Cut, don't believe pull down."

"And which star do you like?" Nuan Xiaoxi put away his smile and asked seriously.

"Black face. By the way, isn't he also the spokesperson of your picture-in-picture group? Will he bring me with him next time he attends an event? Liu Xinyang asked Nuan Xiaoxi seriously.

"What do you like about him?"

"How good was his goal in the World Cup final? I also love the celebratory action. ”

"Oh... After listening to this, Nuan Xiaoxi turned his head to look at the game in the field.

"Annoying, can you help me?"

"Hey... The bastard probably didn't get up at this point. In the evening, I'll call him and ask, how about it? Nuan Xiaoxi said impatiently.

"Really? Are you so familiar? Liu Xinyang was a little excited.

"Hey, when I played football with him, you were still in kindergarten." Nuan Xiaoxi said casually.

"Ahh This time it was Liu Xinyang's turn to be surprised, but he also instantly understood that Nuan Xiaoxi was jealous. "Hee-hee-hee..." Liu Xinyang leaned closer to Nuan Xiaoxi.

"By the way, is the TV turned on in the house?" Nuan Xiaoxi asked Liu Xinyang.

"It's turned on, I just pulled Xiaohu out to watch the game together, but she refused, so I turned on the TV."

"Oh."

"I heard her say she hadn't been here before."

"yes, didn't you see Xiao Sun? She's my secretary at the club, and I'm the deputy general manager. ”

"Deputy General Manager? What is this arrangement? ”

"Well, I was originally a chairman, so I didn't want to be a general manager. But you also know the troubles in China, and the chairman asks questions about everything. So there is no way, I have to hang up a manager's position, I think about it, the deputy general manager, by the way, responsible for cheering sponsorship or something. ”

"Oh."

"Didn't you see Xiao Sun?"

"The one in the outhouse who prepared a barbecue for us?"

"Hmm."

"She can't go inside and watch the ball?"

"It used to be Ma Feifei, Zhu Guangliang and me."

"And now?"

"It's just more than you."

"Huh?" Liu Xinyang was a little unconvinced.

"Tell me about it. You know that I'm a little upset, or worried, if not so open-minded. What would they think if they saw it? ”

"Yes."

"The work is done by people. I don't do any work myself, I can't help, I'm picking and choosing. It's either a mess or a nuisance. ”

"Oh."

"So I'm staying by myself and it's clean, you look at the balcony." Nuan Xiaoxi pointed to the box some distance to the left, and there were three or four people standing on the balcony above watching the ball. "Sister Mao, deputy general manager, and Li Jinyu, general manager, are here."

"Huh?"

"I received the governor with them once in this position, and their expressions when they watched the game, you don't have to watch the game, just watch them. Hehe... Nuan Xiaoxi remembered that day when he received Vice Governor Chen, who was in charge of science, education and sports in the province, he laughed.

"It's someone else's job after all." Liu Xinyang explained.

"That's just as well." Nuan Xiaoxi put away his smile.

"Tell me which player you like on the team."

"What are you going to do?"

"Listen to it, I can still talk nonsense." Liu Xinyang said with a smile.

'You look at the full-back, it's the one on the left. Nuan Xiaoxi pointed to Ma Fei in the stadium and said, "I am very optimistic about this kid, when he played in the Changchun team, I was optimistic about him." I just bought it this year, the young man is young, but he is too energetic. ”

"What's wrong?"

"Look at that woman," Nuan Xiaoxi pointed to a lady in a white suit on the podium.

"Which one?"

"The one in the white suit," Nuan Xiaoxi nodded again.

"Oh, it looks pretty." Liu Xinyang finally saw it.

"Her name is Di Li, and she is now our team's correspondent. Within a few days, this kid took them down. Nuan Xiaoxi shook his head after speaking.

"What? Are you jealous? Liu Xinyang looked at Nuan Xiaoxi with a smile.

"What vinegar do I have to eat? It's nothing more than worrying that the kid's energy is not the place. ”

"That's where you put it?" Liu Xinyang teased Nuan Xiaoxi.

"I..." Nuan Xiaoxi smiled and pinched Liu Xinyang's face.

"Badass." As soon as Liu Xinyang's words fell, the stands exploded like a nest, cheering.

I watched the East Stand fans with streamers flying all over the sky, and the shouts were also in unison with the drums.

"Knock knock..." "Li Qingcheng."

"Knock knock..." "Li Qingcheng."

"Knock knock..." "Li Qingcheng."

"Knock knock..." "Li Qingcheng."

"Knock knock..." "Li Qingcheng."

。。。。。。

"I blame you, I didn't see it." Liu Xinyang pushed Nuan Xiaoxi a little angrily, and Nuan Xiaoxi hurriedly took her hand and ran to the box.

The replay of the goal began on TV:

Midfielders Zhang Ye and Li Tie pinched the opposing midfielder together, and Zhang Ye completed the steal and passed back to a left-back Ma Fei. Ma Fei ran faster with the ball for more than 50 meters and reached the right side of the opponent's penalty area. Ma Fei grabbed a cross from the side before the opposing defender, James in the penalty area jumped high and headed the ball back, and then Li Qingcheng at the back post quickly inserted the ball into the goal.

At this time, the score on the field: 1-0, Shengcheng Picture-in-Picture Football Club leads.

"It's wonderful." Liu Xinyang said after watching the TV replay.

"Not bad, right?" Nuan Xiaoxi led Liu Xinyang to sit on the sofa again, "Let Xiao Sun come in at that point, and order whatever you want to eat." Nuan Xiaoxi looked at Xiao Hu and said.

"Okay." Xiaohu got up and went to the room outside.

"You're not going to your company dinner in the evening?" Liu Xinyang reminded Nuan Xiaoxi of the company dinner in the evening.

"Hmm... Nuan Xiaoxi was hesitant. Theoretically, I should go, but I was reluctant to go when I thought of the short time with Liu Xinyang.

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you at home. And then when it's almost over, I'll pick you up, how about it? ”

"Hmm... Nuan Xiaoxi thought seriously.

"Don't hesitate, you are also the general manager. Besides, your mother is here, shouldn't you, the son, accompany you? ”

"Hehe... Or are you sensible. But I still want to be late, so I just say that there is something to do here. ”

"Hey, hey... You're a little bit of a heart. Liu Xinyang leaned on Nuan Xiaoxi's arms.

The two of them chatted while eating, watched the game on TV, and occasionally went to the balcony to take a walk to see the scene. And Xiao Hu didn't know when he left the box and went outside to chat with Xiao Sun.

"Hello, I'm Xiaohu, we talked on the phone before." Xiao Hu finally had the opportunity to introduce himself to Xiao Sun.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Sun. You've only been here for two months, haven't you? The two shook hands.

"Yes, how long have you been with Mr. Nuan?"

"Well, more than two years."

"Ah, so long." Xiao Hu was a little surprised.

"No, it's been more than two years. I was there when the club was first established and have been there ever since. Xiao Sun said seriously, and occasionally looked up to see the progress of the game on TV.

"Then you've been long enough, Mr. Nuan must be very good to you."

"Hehe, Nuan will always be good to you. Mr. Nuan has never lost his own people, and you will understand it after a long time. Mr. Nuan is too anxious, and when he trains you, he just talks about things, and it's good to pass. As long as you are serious, Mr. Nuan will treat you as his own person, and he will give you a black pot to blame, hehe... Xiao Sun smiled and introduced the warm Xiaoxi in the box.

"Uh-huh." Xiaohu nodded.

"You must not be used to it at the beginning, he doesn't praise his own people. Say that you did a good job, that is only what you have heard at this stage, and I am at this stage! Ay... Xiao Sun sighed, "Only criticism, hehe... ”

"That's Nuan always trusting you." Xiao Hu comforted on the side.

"I don't trust that I can stay until now, you see that Nuan always brings his girlfriend and doesn't shy away from me."

"Hey, hey..." Thinking of Liu Xinyang inside, Xiaohu also smiled.

"Don't laugh, it's top secret. If it is known by the outside, Mr. Nuan should be sad to die again. Xiao Sun thought about it and said with emotion.

"Why?" Xiao Hu asked puzzled.

"Mr. Nuan is very emotional, so he can't take his feelings and can't let go." Xiao Sun said gloomily.

"It stands to reason that Mr. Nuan is so good, so he won't have a girlfriend now, right?" Xiao Hu was a little puzzled.

"Mr. Nuan, don't look at the cheerful appearance, you usually smile. In fact, he doesn't come into contact with many people, and it's not easy for us to meet a like-minded person at work. Don't think that he has a cheerful personality, he is actually introverted to death, and he doesn't like to communicate with others. ”

"Huh?" Xiaohu was very surprised when he heard this, "Yes, there are indeed a few of us who have been contacted by the real estate company." ”

"No, so every time Mr. Nuan's feelings come out, he is serious, and then after the ending, he is sad to death."

"I don't think so." Xiao Hu said.

"Why?"

"I have been in contact with Liu Xinyang, and I think she is very nice and easy-going. It's not like the kind of person who lives in the twilight, and ... Xiao Hu suddenly lowered his voice.

Xiao Sun unconsciously put his head close to Xiao Hu, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiao Hu pointed to Xiao Sun's ear and whispered: "Liu Xinyang's first time in Xiaolian is the warm president." ”

"Really?" Xiao Sun was startled after hearing this, and turned his head to look at Xiao Hu.

"Hmm." Xiao Hu nodded seriously, and whispered to Xiao Sun's ear: "When I was preparing things for Mr. Nuan in Xiao Lian's hotel room, I accidentally saw blood on the sheets. So big, red. Xiao Hu finished speaking, gesturing.

"It's incredible." Xiao Sun still felt a little surprised after hearing this.

"Really, I'm sure." Xiaohu nodded, "I wasn't sure at first, but later I heard her agent chatting with her when I was preparing for the event backstage." ”

"What did you say?" Xiao Sun asked gossipingly.

The agent told her how to use contraception. also asked her if it hurts, and if she needs to tell Nuan not too often. Xiao Hu continued to gossip in a low voice.

"Hey, hey..." Xiao Sun finished listening.

"What do you say?" Nuan Xiaoxi suddenly pushed open the door of the box and asked with a cold face.

"Ahh No, nothing. Xiao Sun was startled, and quickly got up and stumbled to answer.

At this time, the secretary of Nuan Xiaoxi's real estate company, who was gossiping, was also frightened.

Predict what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.

End of this chapter.

Postscript (illustrations, tidbits, extras):

In the nanny car, Liu Xinyang's makeup artist was putting on Liu Xinyang's makeup, the assistant was talking about the process and precautions of the event, and the agent Sister Ma was standing outside the car door.

After the assistant finished talking about the process, Sister Ma began to chat with Liu Xinyang.

"Are you going to watch the ball tomorrow? Don't you dislike football? Sister Ma asked Liu Xinyang.

"Look, didn't I watch a few games in the last World Cup?" Liu Xinyang replied.

"What do you call that? Hehe... The agent, Sister Ma, remembered the scene of Liu Xinyang watching the game last year, and was happy.

Last year, Liu Xinyang's game was almost over, and he suddenly asked, "What happened to the Chelsea game?" The audience burst into laughter. Only Liu Xinyang looked at everything blankly, and then a fan who was familiar with Liu Xinyang explained in a low voice, and then looked at Liu Xinyang blushing and lowering his head. However, after that, Liu Xinyang attended the event to watch the game, and he no longer asked questions casually.

"Why don't you come with us?" Sister Ma proposed.

"Forget it, it's not good for Konishi not to go to the game, anyway, he is also the owner of the team." Liu Xinyang explained.

"Hey, it's really a married daughter, spilled water." Sister Ma sighed.

"Why don't you go too?" Liu Xinyang proposed.

"Well, we're not going to generate electricity. Hehe... After Sister Ma finished speaking, everyone laughed.
