Chapter 3 I want to be a professional footballer
"Brother, who is this old man?" Li Xin'er pulled the corner of Li Lei's clothes, looked at Ferguson, who was looking curiously at home, and asked in a curious whisper. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
She was curious that her brother had brought an outsider home, something that had never happened since her parents died.
Since that tragedy, Li Lei took on this difficult family with his immature shoulders, Li Xin'er knew that her world had inevitably undergone earth-shaking changes.
My family had to move into a slum with low rent, my brother dropped out of school, and I have been doing some bad things for the family's expenses, my former friends have cut off contact with me, except for going to school, I have been asked by my brother to stay at home, and my brother never introduced his so-called "friends" to himself....
All these changes are really a huge change that is difficult for a young girl to accept. But Li Xin'er accepted it obediently and calmly, she knew that this was her brother protecting herself.
The great changes in the family and the hard work of her brother have made this well-behaved girl become more gentle and mature.
Poverty, no friends, etc., Li Xin'er can accept them. The only thing that has always displeased her and not been relieved is her brother's safety. She knew very well in her heart how her brother earned her daily expenses. It's just to not irritate my brother and reassure my brother, so I don't say it.
But let's not talk about it, every time Li Lei goes out to "work", it is when she is scared. For fear that something bad would happen to him, she was left alone in the world.
For this, she wanted to propose to Li Lei more than once that she would not go to school. However, whenever she saw Li Lei's calm eyes, she couldn't say anything.
How did her brother, who didn't graduate from high school, support this unfortunate family and pay her tuition. In the face of this heavy problem, all she can do is to study hard according to her brother's expectations, and then be admitted to a good university, so as to live up to her brother's hard work.
However, even so, she never gave up on letting her brother find a serious job. Usually, whenever she has time, she brings this up.
It's not that she doesn't know the difficulties of Li Lei, who didn't graduate from high school, but she just wants Li Lei to be safe.
She also knew that her brother hadn't tried it. But either the salary is too low, or others don't look down on their brother, and they always die without a problem, which has become a big heart disease in her young heart.
But no one expected that this old and difficult problem would suddenly usher in a huge turn for the better tonight. Today, she was still very worried about her brother's sudden late return. God knows how surprised she was when she heard her brother's voice and opened the door to see a silver-haired, kind old man.
However, no surprise could compare to her joy when she heard that the old man could arrange a job for his brother. It's just that, while being pleasantly surprised, she has some worries.
It was a habit she had developed since living in the slums, never trusting anyone, no matter how credible they might seem.
"I don't know, I just know that his name is Alex Ferguson, a football coach." Li Lei knew his sister's worries and replied in a low voice.
Although Li Lei's voice was small, he was caught by Ferguson, who turned around.
Suddenly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching. A soccer coach, a soccer coach...... Although this is not wrong, Li Lei's understated tone made Ferguson feel awkward.
This inexplicable feeling of being looked down upon made Ferguson feel extremely upset. He couldn't remember how long he had enjoyed such treatment. If it weren't for the two children standing in front of him who were old enough to be his grandchildren, he would have turned his face long ago.
Those who don't know are not guilty, I don't care about children in general, there are a lot of adults, there are a lot of adults.... After forcibly suppressing the temper in his heart, he deliberately smiled kindly at Li Xin'er, who was as cute as a porcelain doll, before turning his head, looking at Li Lei, and said, "Okay, I think I've finished reading what I want to see." I can already give you an answer on whether or not to give you a job. ”
It turned out that after Ferguson specifically mentioned Manchester United, Li Lei had already remembered who the silver-haired old man in front of him was. I remember that when he first saw Ferguson in the newspaper, he was surprised to ask his father who this red-faced, big-nosed old man was.
After that, he didn't go out of his way to get to the bottom of it, but the name Ferguson means so much in Manchester. Even Li Lei, a person who is completely uninterested in football, has to see him in the media again and again. In fact, if it weren't for the darkness in the dark alley, he would have recognized it at a glance.
He didn't know exactly what Ferguson had accomplished, but he knew he was a big man. A big man arranges a suitable job for himself, no matter how he thinks about it, it should be just a matter of effort.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Lei's heartbeat immediately increased a little. He realized that this was a great opportunity for him, both for the sake of his family and for his sister.
However, just when he was suddenly expecting Ferguson's answer, the old lord took the lead in putting forward his own conditions, and he could only answer him after going to Li Lei's house to see it in person.
In this way, Li Lei led him home. Otherwise, with Li Lei's temperament, he would never let a single hair of any strange man enter his home. In the slums, he had seen too many tragedies that happened to young girls because of this.
It's just that he didn't know that in fact, from the moment Li Xin'er opened the door of the house, Ferguson had actually agreed to his request in his heart.
This is not to blame the old gentleman for being cautious, after all, Li Lei's dress and image, as well as the ferocity when he beat people before, it is difficult for people to believe that this young man is a serious person.
Even if Ferguson believes that Li Lei is not bad in nature, who knows if Li Lei is not involved in other bad things, the bad habits that gangsters are used to, such as poisons, he has to doubt.
If Li Lei had been involved in this, even if he had saved himself, Ferguson would never have offered him a job.
But, obviously, this is what he thinks too much. Clean and tidy room, dressed plainly but cleanly, Li Xin'er looks like a good and cute schoolgirl...... All this proves that Li Lei is a responsible big brother, and such a mature and responsible young man will never touch those things.
Thinking of the pitiful reality that this poor family has lost its adulthood, Ferguson looked at Li Lei's eyes full of appreciation, this is a young but qualified man, which suits his own appetite.
Helping a bunch of such high-quality young people, Ferguson said that he is still happy to be this old bone.
Looking at Li Xin'er, who was holding her white and tender little hands and couldn't hide her nervousness on her pretty face, and Li Lei, who was strong and calm, but her pupils couldn't help shrinking, Ferguson smiled like a fox and said, "I think I can provide you with a job, young man, you are very good." ”
"Yay!!" As soon as Ferguson's words fell, before Li Lei could react, Li Xin'er was already waving her little fist, jumping, and shouting. The puzzle she had been struggling with for so long was finally solved today, and her little face could not hide the frenzied joy at all.
However, at this time, Li Lei suddenly pursed his thin lips, looked at Ferguson, and asked firmly: "Then how much salary can I get?" Or rather, what is the job you can offer me the highest paying? ”
As soon as these words came out, Li Xin'er, who was still pounding just now, suddenly quieted down.
"Brother." While carefully looking at Ferguson's expression, she eagerly pulled the corner of Li Lei's coat and whispered anxiously.
In any case, when these words were said by Li Lei, the person who received help, he seemed a little unaware. Although she knew Li Lei's hard work in saying this, Li Xin'er's heart couldn't help but pinch up, for fear that Ferguson would be annoyed by her brother and retract her decision just now.
But she didn't expect that Ferguson not only did not show the slightest annoyance on his face, but looked at Li Lei with interest, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became bigger.
How did she know that Ferguson had seen many ambitious and unruly young people in his life, and as far as Li Lei's question was concerned, it was nothing in his opinion.
Looking at Li Lei's determined eyes, Ferguson said with interest: "I have a job that can make a lot of money in the future and can recommend it to you, but unfortunately, you can't do it at all." ”
"What is it?" As soon as he heard that he could make a lot of money, Li Lei directly ignored the second half of Ferguson's sentence and asked excitedly. He didn't believe that there was any job he couldn't do, as long as he could provide a better life for his sister, he could do anything.
Seeing the eager Li Lei, Ferguson's face immediately bloomed with a wicked smile, but he always remembered how the young man in front of him had said the words that made him almost angry.
He stared at Li Lei with interest, until the other party's face showed impatient irritability, and then with a smile full of meaning, he said softly: "Player, be a football player." ”
As soon as he heard this, the eager expression on Li Lei's face immediately froze, and he obviously remembered what he had said to Ferguson before.
Looking at Li Lei, whose face was complex and changeable for a while, like a neon light, Old Master Fu couldn't help but show a smug smile on his face, and smiled so comfortably, call you kid hate football, hum hum....
At this moment, Li Lei's answer interrupted Ferguson's small smugness.
"Okay, I'll be a football player!"
Hearing this answer, Ferguson couldn't help but want to laugh. From the previous conversation with Li Lei, he was sure that this young man had never touched football before. Isn't it a joke that such a person would want to be a professional footballer?
However, after Ferguson saw Li Lei's eyes, he couldn't laugh.
What kind of determined eyes are these?!
It's as hot as lava!
Blazing as the sun!!
From this look, Ferguson even seemed to be able to hear the young man's cry in his heart.
"I'm going to do it even if I die!"
"Death too!!"
