On the afternoon of Friday, January 26, the week-long trial training of Ye Wei and others came to an end.

Another ragtag army vs. U18 training match, everyone on both sides tried their best, as fierce as the Champions League final, so that Paul McGenes shouted several times: "Young people, be careful not to get hurt!" When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the ragtags lost 2:5, and Ye Wei received an assist.

"Hahaha!" Although the game was lost, the ragtag people who were holding hands in a circle laughed heartily, Ye Wei shouted: "Brothers, it was a professional team that had been training together for a long time, and it only took us a week to drive them crazy, yes we lost again! We didn't win a game this week!!, but we slaughtered them!! now, we all have reason to be proud of ourselves, our team, and this journey, no matter who can stay or who can't, we can all walk out of Carrington with our chests up." ”

He glanced at the sweaty young faces, and said with a smile: "A lot of muscles doesn't mean you're a man, a long doesn't mean it, and a big egg doesn't mean it, but you have such courage and such a spirit! We can all go home separately and tell mom that your son is a man." ”

"Come on. He let go of his two teammates and stretched out his right hand.

The crowd also stretched out their hands and folded their hands, and once again roared in unison with him: "One, two, three, victory!!"

After Ye Wei went to the locker room to take a shower and change clothes, he was called to the manager's office by Ferguson again, just to talk about his whereabouts. Others have to wait for Manchester United's assessment and notification of the results of the trial, and they should also call agents and lawyers to negotiate contracts, but he is in a special situation.

Ferguson, behind his desk, said something about Manchester United's thoughts, and then added: "Weige, we want to keep you, as long as there is a way that suits. ”

Ye Wei's heart jumped when he heard it, the matter is now, the Manchester United jersey is in front of him, how can he give up willingly?

In fact, he had already made some considerations, he confessed: "Coach, I don't want to sign that kind of long-term contract of 3 or 5 years, because my family and my girlfriend are in Los Angeles and I can't stay in the UK for so long, and secondly, because I don't dare to give football a commitment for several years, I have other things to do, and I will miss movies." ”

If other players had said that, Ferguson would have yelled "Who the do you think you are" and kicked the player out of the office, but this is Ye Wei.

Ye Wei's attitude is sincere: "I hope to sign a contract with Manchester United this season first. I don't have any requirements for salary, as long as I'm happy with my business partnership with Manchester United. I'm not here to play for money, I'm here for my dreams. ”

He knew the business side of it. In recent years, Manchester United has always wanted to explore the North American market and the Asian market, and signing good players is the best professional + business, so there are Park Ji-sung, Dong Fangzhuo, and American goalkeeper Tim Howard who signed a few years ago, but Howard is not in stable form and was loaned to Everton this season.

Because soccer is not very popular in the United States, soccer giants and superstars are not very well-known. His tryout gave United a chance to make a name for themselves in the United States, and he knows about the recent commercials, but that's what he values.

Now that he can really play, Manchester United have made a move to really sign him, without transfer fees and high salaries, and the number of first-team registrations for each team in the Premier League is not as limited as in La Liga, such as a 25-man squad, and he is a free agent and is not subject to the transfer window. As long as you sign him and get a labor certification for him, he can play at any time. If you put him on the bench, you can send him up for a few laps during some "garbage time" when the results are set, or just let him be a mascot and warm-up player.

How much can Manchester United earn from his shirts, and how much can the intangible brand value increase, especially in North America and Asia?

Relying on this root, Ye Wei dared to ask for a privileged contract.

"Your problem is not money. Ferguson's old fox blushed and didn't reveal a single thought.

Ye Wei nodded and said: "I know that I am a big person, but isn't my attention also an opportunity for Manchester United? Coach, I can promise you that no matter what happens during the season, I will not gossip to the media about the team's affairs, let alone make trouble." Manchester United can fire me at any time in my contract, without a pound of damages, and if you want me to get out, I'll get out of it the same day. I mean it, the controversy I caused by kicking me away is nothing to you, you are a legend, you are fearless. ”

A strange smile appeared on Ferguson's old face.

This kid does have the ability to make a big splash, but he has shown a better work ethic than most young players this week, on the other hand, the giants have been mired in media controversy, with or without Ye Wei, tabloids such as The Sun will not stop making news. On the contrary, their attention has been focused on VIY lately, and the rest of the players have been much quieter, but the morale in the dressing room needs to be taken care of.

"Coach, I also know that I can't play yet. Ye Wei stared at Ferguson and said slowly: "If Manchester United is willing to give me such a chance, I will do my best to compete for my position." I live in Carrington, and in addition to the team's training, I also hire a private team to train me and work hard every day to improve myself. I believe in your eyes, coach, when I can play, you will send me on. ”

Before Ferguson could speak, Ye Wei paused and said: "I don't ask for much, one is that Manchester United will apply for a labor certification for me immediately after I sign the contract, and make every effort to publicize my special genius clause, my global popularity of the Premier League is an enhancement, this is an important contribution." I didn't want to play and I had to sit in Carrington!

The second is to give me a holiday three days before and after March 18th, which is Lily's 18th birthday, and I want to be with her. ”

......

At 13 o'clock on Saturday the 27th, Ye Wei took a flight to Chicago back to Los Angeles, and when he returned to Brentwood's home, it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening. A week seems to have been a year for Duoduo and Toto, and after some excitement, Duoduo remembered to ask: "Brother, how is it?"

"Hahaha. Ye Wei sat down on the sofa, more than ten hours of running couldn't resist the joy, and looked at Duoduo and his parents with a smile, "Good news." ”

As soon as Duoduo heard the good news, her little face became anxious, and she hurriedly said her thoughts: "Brother, don't go to the UK, don't go to the UK!"

Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao were also stunned, and Ye Haogen asked, "Son, does Manchester United want you?"

"Uh... Very close, but also some specific terms on the commercial side. Ye Wei couldn't help frowning when he saw his family like this, "What?

The two parents were a little speechless, they were very supportive before, because the trial was only for a week, and they didn't think that the trial would be successful......

"Speak?" Ye Wei spread his hands helplessly.

"Brother, don't go!" Duoduo said in a kind and persuasive tone, "It's because Britain is not good that Lily came to Los Angeles, and you still go to England." Gu Qiao said: "You love to play football, we all know it, we all support you to pursue your ideals, but moving to the UK is a big thing, like choosing a university, you really have to think about it." ”

Ye Wei nodded and comforted them: "Yes, it's like I went to study in a foreign university, and now I'm talking about a short-term contract with a contract period until this summer." I want to try this kind of professional football life first and then decide whether I want to continue in the summer. I'm going to be living in Manchester for the next few months, and of course I miss you, but we have phones, we have internet videos, and I can fly back on holidays, so it's not a big deal. ”

As soon as they heard that it was a short-term contract, Ye Haogen and Gu Qiao's expressions relaxed, and they were afraid that they would sign it for several years.

"Woo!" Duoduo still had a bitter face and shook his hand angrily, "I hate Manchester United!"

Ye Wei laughed, "You have to love it, your brother is almost a Manchester United player." He looked at his parents and said with a smile, "I'll take care of myself, you don't have to worry." Carrington is very good at everything, the management is very strict, I live like a confinement every day, it's just that the food is not good, but I'm strong, do you see?"

"You're so sad for me!" Duoduo sighed.

Excuse me? Ye Wei frowned and looked around, what? Who said that? Did someone speak just now?

......

After staying at home for an hour and telling Duoduo a story to put her to sleep, Ye Wei went out and drove to Lily's house in the night. It didn't take 10 minutes to arrive, and as soon as he saw her open the door on the porch, he couldn't control his mood, and his whole body seemed to have an electric current turning, "Lily, Lily!"

Lily was also excited, panting before she could speak, and kissed him tightly in an instant, her body was soft in his arms, and she responded to his passionate kiss on her back.

After a long kiss and a hard hug, the two let go with a smile, and she pulled him into the house, "My mother is not at home." ”

"Wow!!" As soon as he closed the door, Ye Wei hugged Lily from behind again, kissed her hair, and stroked her delicate breasts, but she struggled away angrily: "Rogue, don't think about being here, she will come back at any time!" He took a deep breath, "Okay, I'll try to be a gentleman......"

Before the words fell, he rushed to hug her again, and she fled to the living room with a smile, "Ahhh

The two frolicked and played, and finally fell on the carpet next to the sofa in the living room, kissing and caressing, and chatting about love. After the pain of lovesickness was relieved a little, she asked, "You haven't told me the results of the trial yet?" He smiled: "Keep it for coming back, of course it's a surprise!"

He spoke eloquently, his eyes reluctant to take off her eyes for a moment, "So I'm 99% signed for Manchester United now." ”

Lily didn't cheer excitedly, her eyes were a little complicated, and she looked away avoidantly. Ye Wei's heart protruded, "It's very unexpected, I'm also surprised." She suddenly looked at him, "No, no, but, this is super amazing, I understand you, I am happy and proud of you, I just have mixed feelings......"

"Tell me what you're thinking. Ye Wei clenched her hand, and Lily frowned and said: "I'm a little afraid of long-distance relationships, every time we have to be in a long-distance relationship for a period of time, there will always be problems, and we didn't deal with it well when "Winter's Bones" was filmed before. But! It doesn't mean anything, I'm just apprehensive about the unknown. ”

Ye Wei was silent, he was eager to wear a Manchester United jersey and even stand on the field of the Theater of Dreams, instead of saying later, "I thought I had the opportunity to join Manchester United back then, but later? "But they're not the most important thing. He looked at her smile and didn't want to say as if it was all because of her, if there was a choice, it was only his own choice.

Lily was also looking at him, not wanting to put pressure on her. There has been enough pressure from the outside world on this matter, and she has been making trouble recently, not to mention him, and she wants to win to those people. She knew his character, and the emails made her understand his thoughts.

Seeing his struggle, she felt a pain in her heart, and she held his hand instead, and looked stubborn: "Do you have confidence......? You have it, I have it. ”

"More than that. Ye Wei smiled suddenly, "I have one of the most unparalleled pursuits in my life, you." ”

Lily's eyes were stupid, and her tone was hearty and active: "Then we are like this, from now until summer, we will focus on our dreams and work hard to make some achievements." In the summer, we don't have any work, we travel the world! We see each other a lot these months, and next month I'm going to London Fashion Week in London. ”

"Cool! Ye Wei was happy again, and felt a leap of anticipation for the future, so he couldn't help but kiss her. After a passionate kiss, he smiled and said, "If the time comes, I'll go to London to cheer you on." Lily nodded, "Someday you can play, I will definitely come to Manchester to cheer you on." She smiled as she spoke.

"I hope I can get a labor certification. He stroked her waist and asked, "Is your roadshow program recorded next week?" He asked again, "Can I go?" and she smiled: "Welcome, our show is for children." I also have good news for you, I'm going to be an Oscar red carpet reporter for Nickelodeon!" He exclaimed, "Wow, when was it decided? ”

She also laughed out loud, no matter what he was busy with, he still had to attend the Oscars, and she would attend, but not as his female companion, but as a red carpet reporter.

"You're going to interview me then. Ye Wei laughed, Lily's eyes wandered, "Don't tease me." ”

"It depends on the mood. He raised his palm, and she also raised his palm to pat him, and she laughed and said, "If you dare to play tricks on me, I will pretend to fall, and when you come to hug me, I will shout indecent manners, and the security guard will come and take you away and throw you out." He laughed louder and louder, and as he insulted her, he asked, "Like this? Or like this?" and she punched him in the chest.

"So what number are you going to wear? Number 6 is the main one. ”

"You give me some advice?

“... Think about it, number 37, the sum of our birthday dates. ”

"Oh, why didn't I think of that?"

19+18 is also the age he and she are about to be.

......

On the evening of Sunday, January 28, the 13th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony was held at the Temple Auditorium in Los Angeles, which was broadcast live on both TN-T and TBS channels.

There were also actress nominees Lawrence, supporting actress nominees Ronan and Vikander, supporting actor Tuqi and Hakes, and the best cast TLB members, Olsen, Reeves, Vichy, Sarandon and Symmington...... It's very lively!

Before the ceremony began, in the backstage of the auditorium, while everyone was gathered, Ye Wei announced with a smile to several girls: "Everyone, good news, I am going to join Manchester United." ”

Liz, Jennifer, Aliciica, Mody, Dakota, Kelsey, they really reacted like that again, surprised wow, and then their brains couldn't turn, and even Liz, who had the fastest brain, looked stupid. Didn't anyone think he would get a contract before?

"Is it okay not to play football?" asked Jennifer suddenly. Ye Wei shrugged: "It's decided." Jennifer asked with a wooden face: "Then how long are you going to play?" Ye Wei replied: "Indefinitely, let's finish this season first." I know you all want to stay on schedule for my new film, don't do that, it won't be anytime soon. ”

The girls were silent, and the surroundings became more and more noisy.

Among the core future girls, Jennifer and Alicia have the most empty schedules, one is to wait for the results of the Oscars first, whether to win the award or not is different for their value and status, and the other is to wait for his project, but ...... He was able to successfully try out, and he really disappeared.

Liz was also waiting for his new project, and her heart was empty, "British food is so monotonous, are you used to eating it?"

"So I'm trying to figure out how to get Manchester United to improve our food. Ye Wei said.

Mo Di had never been abroad in his life, so he didn't know what to say, so he whispered: "VIY, then I wish you success." ”

"Thank you, Mody. Ye Wei smiled at her, knowing that although she said it like a polite word, it was actually sincere.

Glancing at them, he smiled and said, "If you have anything to consult, if you have any scripts you want to ask for my opinion, you can email me, and I will help when I am free." Let's work hard, become a big star, I will find you to make a movie in the future, please don't dislike me for being an outdated little director when the time comes. ”

"you, man. Jennifer suddenly couldn't help but curse, her face tightened, "you." She scolded again and walked away. She scolded SCREW-YOU, and Liz directly said a foul word "FUCK-YOU" and walked away. Alicia left with Mody and said, "I love you, but you." Dakota sneered wryly and said, "Good luck." Kelsey was very embarrassed, and finally sighed: "Brother Wei, have a good trip." She followed.

Ye Wei stared at them and walked away one by one, laughing, they are all so rampant now, when I am out of breath, what will happen?
