Chapter 50: The Starving Ghost

A good manager should keep a certain distance from his subordinates, and a better manager should not be too far away from his subordinates.

This has always been one of Mubarak's management philosophies. Before Lin Sen signed the contract, Mubarak made his request very clear, he gave Lin Sen the right, he also gave Lin Sen constraints, and then he waited for Lin Sen to hand over the results.

Lin Sen's current results are good, no, it should be said that they are almost perfect.

The new signing is outstanding, which proves that Linson's summer transfer plan is not a problem. The team's excellent record proves that Linsen has no problem doing his job. Mubarak felt that he should get closer to the team's manager, so he invited Linsen to dinner and brought his newly engaged fiancée, who he was not familiar with.

Sara looked at the gentle-looking but unrefined Oriental in front of her with a little curiosity.

Eating with your boss has never been a good errand, because at that time, eating tends to become a secondary thing.

Therefore, people who dare to be so "natural" in front of their own bosses are either really unsophisticated, or they are dependent. The person in front of him should be biased towards the latter, because before he arrived, Carl had told him more than once about his deeds, such as the incident on the plane, for example, he has now become a well-known figure in Manchester.

Just yesterday, he tore down the city, or one of the country's most famous teams.

However, the man in front of him was not good-looking, but he was by no means offensive, because in fact, he was just eating very fast. Other than that, his words and deeds were very decent, at least Sara didn't find anything wrong.

Waving his hand to signal the waiter to serve him another steak. Of course, Lin Sen knew that his appetite might arouse the curiosity of the men and women opposite, but he didn't plan to restrain himself a little.

The last time Lin Sen had dinner with his boss was when he was in Malaga. At that time, in addition to Little Sans, there was also Old Sans. Interestingly, that meal was also "earned" by Lin Sentong Guò leading the team to win consecutive games, and Malaga at that time was ranked higher in the standings, unlike Manchester City is still pressed by Chelsea now, but that meal Lin Sen definitely did not eat well, because he was not only not full, but also had a weird atmosphere. During the banquet, Lao Sans poured a lot of wind into Lin Sen's ears. Let Xiao Sans, who should be the main master, be more like a companion, and now that I think about it, maybe his end in Malaga was already doomed at that moment.

Therefore, today Lin Sen feels that it is better to be "natural", anyway, whether he holds his job tightly or not has nothing to do with how much he eats or less, since this is the case, why treat his mouth badly.

Say it's natural. Lin Sen's appetite was actually not so large before, this was before, it was said that he crossed over, and after. It seems that ten years later, he has superimposed on his body ten years ago, and his appetite has become nearly twice as much as before, which is the only "side effect" he has crossed, fortunately. Lin Sen didn't notice any other side effects.

"I'm curious, why do you still maintain your figure so well?" After Lin Sen ordered another steak, Sara joked. First meeting. Sara would make such jokes, and Lin Sen's "nature" was obviously a big inducement.

"Sarah, have you forgotten what his profession is?" Mubarak raised his wine glass, gestured slightly to Lin Sen, and said with a smile.

With Mubarak's words, Lin Sen did not answer, but just smiled and raised his glass. Sarah's problem was actually one of Lin Sen's problems in the past, but later Lin Sen found that although his appetite increased, his weight did not increase too significantly.

"But, I heard Carl say, you were a doctor before? Why did you suddenly switch careers to coaching? Sara asked, curiously.

"Changing careers? No. I'm still a doctor, doctors are my main profession, and coaching is just an amateur. Lin Sen made a joke.

"This is not a modest Chinese."

……

Chinese like to talk about work while eating, the beautiful name is talking while eating, it sounds very reasonable, eating can reduce the embarrassment of both sides, shorten the distance between the two sides, and that glass of "face wine" can always make people feel "drunk and spit out the truth", instantly have nothing to talk about, everything is easy to discuss, but in the end, no matter how whitewashed, can not change the suspicion of selling dog meat on the head of a sheep.

In foreign countries, people rarely talk about work during meals, and when they do, they must care about close people, and most of them do so for the purpose of caring. They feel that eating is eating, and work is work. Eating together can indeed bring you closer, but eating doesn't talk about work. Therefore, when Mubarak invited him, Lin Sen knew that this meal might be a "reward" for his work, but it was definitely not a work report, and if Mubarak wanted to hear him report on his work, then he would definitely choose a quiet conference room and listen to Lin Sen's report face-to-face.

Sure enough, during the meal, Mubarak and Lin Sen talked more about more lighter topics, such as Lin Sen's identity as a doctor, such as how he and Sara met. The meal lasted for more than an hour, and the atmosphere was more like a party between two friends, less polite and restrained between the boss and the employees.

Xi San, Mubarak and Sara were the first to leave, and Lin Sen looked at the figures of the two of them, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

The boss will compare the employees, this is management. Employees will also compare their bosses, which is successology. For Linsen, just as he was in Malaga when he was in Malaga with Sans Jr. and Cerezo, now he is also compared to Sans Jr. and Mubarak.

Lin Sen must admit that his initial impression of Xiao Sans was not good, just because of that meal, Lin Sen felt that Xiao Sans was a little too puppet, and the subsequent qiē also confirmed Lin Sen's opinion, and Lin Sen's final change in his opinion of Xiao Sans was after Xiao Sans's resignation, and that resignation without warning made Lin Sen realize that Xiao Sans, who was born as a player, is still a temperamental person after all.

Mubarak, on the other hand, has always given Lin Sen the impression that he is a businessman. His educational background made him more professional and productive than Sans Jr. in managing a club, and the plan from Mubarak gave Lin Sen a glimpse of the specific meaning of the word ambitious.

But even so, Sans Jr. and Mubarak, Linson still can't talk about who he admires more for a club. Clearly, Mubarak would be more suited to be a chairman, but not necessarily for employees. A businessman is a businessman, and their criterion is profit. It is hard for Mr. Linson to imagine Mubarak resigning to show his attitude just to change someone's mind, as Sans Jr. did.

Just as Lin Sen was standing at the door as a thinker, a slender hand suddenly slapped him on the back, and then Lin Sen, who was startled, heard a somewhat familiar warm voice from behind him.

"Hello, Starving Ghost."

Lin Sen looked back and saw a beautiful woman standing in front of him.

Dressed in a professional suit, without powder, a pair of eyes that seem to be able to speak are looking at him with a smile.

It's really a life where you don't meet, you don't meet......

Lin Sen was a little surprised.

"Boya? How did you end up here? ”

What appeared in front of Lin Sen was Boya, who had not been seen for a few months. The two have not seen each other since that Copa del Rey ceremony.

"I've been in the UK for months. Recently spent time in Manchester. Ariel didn't sue you? Seeing the obvious joy on Lin Sen's face, Boya smiled.

"Where will she sue me?" Lin Sen shook his head.

Seeing Lin Sen shaking his head, Boya thought about it, yes, why did Ariel sue Lin Sen for coming to the UK herself? Counting it, in Ariel's impression, the only time she and Lin Sen met should be the trip to the memorial, which can only be regarded as acquaintance. It's really not cooked.

"By the way, what did you just call me? Starving? Where does this start? ”

"I was having dinner here with a friend and I happened to see you. If I'm not mistaken, you had two steaks, three loaves of bread, and one pasta......"

"Did you just see that?" Seeing that Boya actually broke his slender and white hands and counted what he had just eaten. Lin Sen was sweating profusely, but this did not prevent him from hearing the key words in Boya's words just now, "Friend? Male or female? ”

Boya was a little stunned when asked. After a pause, he said, "...... Why didn't I find out that the Manchester City manager would be so gossipy? ”

"Do as the locals do." Lin Sen laughed.

"The guy you just had dinner with is the president of Manchester City, right?"

"It's him." Lin Sen nodded.

"What about the woman?"

"Female? Oh, that's Carl's fiancée. ”

"Karl is Mubarak? The chairman and his fiancée are having dinner with you? It seems that you are really proud. ”

"Spring breeze?" Lin Sen was stunned for a moment, of course he meant that the spring breeze was proud. He also knew what Boya's mouth said about the spring breeze proudly, but what surprised him was that when Boya said this idiom, he used Chinese.

"Am I wrong?" Seeing Lin Sen's expression, Boya was slightly startled, thinking that he had used the wrong word, "Sorry, I just learned Chinese not long ago." ”

"No, you're right."

"And what's that look on your face?" Boya said slightly annoyed.

"I just didn't expect you to speak Chinese."

“…… Work required. ”

……

It has only been hundreds of years since he came out to eat once and he can meet acquaintances, which really makes Lin Sen have to believe in the word fate, speaking of which, he and Boya have met several times, it seems to be full of accidents, once in the embassy, once on the podium, and now, in a "foreign country". The two of them met again just stood like this and chatted for more than ten minutes, but this was not a place for small talk after all, according to Boya, she would stay in England for a long time, so the two left each other's contact information and left.

"Female." Just as the two were about to separate, Boya suddenly spoke.

"What?"

"I said my friend who was eating with me was a woman." Boya said indifferently.

"Oh oh......" Lin Sen's expression was strange.

"Don't get me wrong, it's just that you are talking nonsense to Ariel." Seeing Lin Sen's expression, Boya explained.

"Understood." Lin Sen nodded and smiled. (To be continued......)

PS: I will never admit that this is water, because ...... Well, Boya is the heroine...... One? Do you want one or the other?
