Chapter 164: Just a Passing Football Player [4,000 Words Chapter]
What exactly is fashion?
Ling Feng didn't understand at all.
Moreover, he is not too interested in fashion.
He always felt that clothes were enough as long as they were comfortable and decent.
After all, not being fashionable enough or not keeping up with trends will not make a difference to his performance on the green field.
However, off the green field, his personal image is directly linked to his income!
If you have a good image and dress fashionably, you will have a greater chance of making headlines on the cover and will be more likely to be favored by commercial endorsements.
When he participated in the charity celebrity match in the United States, as a football senior, Beckham gave him a lot of advice and advice.
One of them is to let him manage his outstanding image well, which will help him develop his business career off the field!
Xiaobei's words benefited Ling Feng a lot.
In addition to wanting to become a superstar on the green field and receive applause and honors, he also wants to live a chic and free life!
For this ultimate goal, he needs a lot of money!
And in order to make money, he has to not only do his best on the training ground and on the field, perform at his best, and get a higher salary.
You have to work hard to manage your own image off the field, convert your popularity and fame into influence and capital, so as to create your own brand like Beckham and Ronaldo, and then build your own business empire!
To do this, he needs to show his business value to the outside world!
Milan Fashion Week, one of the world's four major fashion weeks, is a very good platform.
This is one of the reasons why he accepted Kendall's invitation to come to Milan to watch the show.
It can be said that Kendall's invitation is his stepping stone to open the fashion industry!
Under the guidance of the female assistant, Ling Feng came to his room in the Pierre Hotel.
As soon as the female assistant entered the door, she put a suitcase she was carrying on the ground and opened it, and took out two sets of clothes from it:
"These are your two outfits for this show."
Two outfits, one in a black plaid trench coat, plus slacks and baseball shoes.
One is a black biker jacket with a light blue shirt and black tie. Fine-grained black suit pants on the lower body.
After trying on two sets of clothes, Ling Feng, who was standing in front of the full-length mirror, couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
Who is the big handsome guy in the mirror?
Oh, it was me!
Turning around, Ling Feng looked at his female assistant with a little expectation: "How is it?" ”
Sophia, who was standing next to the bed, had the same expression, but reached out and pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose, and replied very calmly: "Fashion is not my area of expertise."
Not getting the answer he wanted, Ling Feng couldn't help but pout, continued to sort out the clothes on his body, and continued:
"I think it's pretty good, I didn't expect you to have a talent for fashion"
"I didn't. This was after consulting with a stylist friend of mine, and she helped me with the fit. ”
"By the way, the cost of these two outfits, as well as the consultation fee, I have already calculated it in your account."
This unexpected answer made the smile on Ling Feng's face suddenly freeze.
Then he was relieved.
Isn't it because Sophia is very professional that she keeps her by her side?
What's more, this girl is this kind of more straightforward character.
Thinking of this, Ling Feng didn't feel anything wrong, but said directly:
"By the way, let's have a holiday today. Since it's rare to come to Milan, you should also go out and have a stroll. All the overheads, count me in! ”
Sophia has been his assistant for almost three months since she joined the company at the end of June.
For nearly three months, this girl, who was a few years older than herself, handled her various affairs off the field in an orderly manner, saving him a lot of trouble.
Therefore, Ling Feng also wanted to take the opportunity to thank this female assistant who had helped him a lot.
And hearing that she could go shopping, Sophia's eyes hidden under the lenses couldn't help but light up:
"Does it include buying luxury goods?"
Milan is the birthplace of many luxury brands.
What Armani, Prada, Gucci, Versace
seemed to see through the girl's careful thoughts, Ling Feng directly interrupted her beautiful fantasy:
"You think beautifully! Within £10,000, I can reimburse you. ”
"Thank you boss!"
Even if she thanked her, Sophia looked paralyzed, and her face did not show the slightest hint of gratitude.
And Ling Feng was also accustomed to her style of acting, and with a wave of his hand, he gave an order to evict the guest:
"Alright, let's go out and play. But don't be fooled by handsome Italian guys, I don't want you to fall in love just yet."
"Don't worry, I don't like Italian men."
Leaving this sentence, Sophia walked out of the room without hesitation.
"Don't like Italian men? Neither can Italian women! ”
Muttering, Ling Feng stepped into the bathroom.
After taking a shower and changing into one of the biker jackets, Ling Feng also left the hotel room.
Outside the hotel, he beckoned and called a taxi that happened to pass by.
As soon as he got into the car, he said to the driver in English:
"Please come to the XX Hotel."
The driver's English is also good, and he replied directly:
"No problem!"
With the roar of the car engine, the car slowly marched towards its destination.
Milan is one of the most famous cities in Europe.
The fashion capital of the world, one of the four major economic centers in Europe, and an ancient historical and cultural city are its titles.
Compared with the bitter cold wave of autumn and winter on the British Peninsula, the city of Milan, which has a Mediterranean climate, is much milder.
If you compare it to a woman, a British woman in autumn and winter is like a cold and glamorous urban beauty who is not close to anyone.
The Italian Milanese woman is a gentle woman who walks on the road and will take the initiative to smile at you.
However, Ling Feng is not interested in fashion, economy, history and culture.
He knows very little about Milan, only football.
And within the city, there are two European giants who also bear the name of "Milan":
Ac milan!
And Inter Milan!
There are two European giants in one city, which is extremely rare in world football.
As one of the most glorious teams in the history of Serie A, Milan has left a strong mark in the history of world football.
Both teams have a history of great results.
And the famous stars who have played for Milan and the two heroes, even if they list an A4 paper, they can't write:
The Dutch Troika, Maldini, Shepchenko, Kaka, German Troika, Ronaldo, Zanetti, Ibrahim.
The Meazza Stadium in the São Paulo district of Milan is the main venue shared by both teams.
When it is used as the home stadium of Inter, it is called the Meazza Stadium, and when it is the home stadium of Milan, it is called the San Siro Stadium.
Although it would be tempting to go outside the Meazza Stadium to see one of the deadliest stadiums in all of Europe.
However, considering that his itinerary today is relatively close, Ling Feng still saved the idea of visiting for the next time.
。。。
As a catwalk model for several high-end fashion brands, Kendall is certainly entitled to invite his friends to the show.
However, before entering the show, Ling Feng had to get the VIP admission ticket in Kendall's hand before he could pass through the security of the show.
So, he went to the coffee shop opposite the hotel where Kendall was staying, and sent a text message to Kendall:
"Kendall, I'll go to the coffee shop across the street from your hotel."
A few minutes later, he received a reply:
"Okay, you wait for me, I'll ask my assistant to bring you the tickets."
"No problem. Would you like something to drink? ”
"No, I've already had a cup of black coffee in the morning."
"Okay."
Putting his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, Ling Feng stood outside the coffee shop and hesitated for a moment, deciding to walk into the store anyway.
Maybe it's fashion week, and the store is almost full.
And each one is dressed stylishly.
And in front of the cash register, there is a queue of two people.
Most of the customers in the store looked up at this handsome black-haired guy and then withdrew their gaze.
Only a few girls thought he was handsome and glanced at him a few more times.
Heading straight to the end of the line, Ling Feng looked at the menu written in Italian and English while looking at the entire coffee shop's décor.
"It doesn't seem to make a difference."
Soon, he was caught by the woman in front of him.
It was a tall, slender woman in a khaki trench coat and a peaked cap.
It is worth mentioning that this woman is not stepping on high heels, but a pair of very cute yellow SpongeBob SquarePants slippers!
"Trench coat with slippers? Sure enough, the fashion industry is not something that normal people can mix."
Maybe it was because he felt that he was in a foreign country, Ling Feng was talking to himself, and he didn't deliberately lower his voice.
And the woman in front of him, as if she heard his complaint, suddenly turned around and asked:
"Excuse me, are you talking to me?"
The woman turned around, and Ling Feng noticed that the other party's face was still wearing a pair of big sunglasses.
Even if her eyes and half of her face are covered by sunglasses, you can still see that the other party is definitely a big beauty!
The woman's voice is very gentle, giving a sense of down-and-out generosity.
Moreover, Ling Feng noticed that the other party was not Italian, but English!
Fortunately, the Chinese that Ling Feng used when he complained just now was not English.
So, the other party didn't understand what he was saying, and just thought he was talking to himself.
So, Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then shook his head without changing his face, and replied in English:
"No, I'm just talking to myself."
"Oh, you're Chinese? What you just said is a bit like Chinese. ”
"Sort of, my father is Chinese."
"Oh, no wonder"
As soon as the words fell, the woman was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by the waiter at the cash register:
"Next guest!"
So the woman turned around in a hurry, and said to the waiter:
"A shot of espresso, thank you."
"Okay. Sincerely, one euro"
Hearing this, the woman put her hand into the pocket of her trench coat.
However, what she didn't expect was that she felt empty.
At this moment, she finally realized a very serious problem:
I didn't bring any money when I went out on my own!
Moreover, I didn't bring my phone with me!
Just as the woman lowered her head and thought about how to deal with the situation, Ling Feng also seemed to notice the woman's embarrassment.
Reaching out and touching her pocket a few times, she didn't find anything to pay, so she knew that she must have no money.
And judging from the woman's dress, she is definitely not a person who deliberately didn't bring money or really didn't have money to buy a cup of coffee.
So, there is only one truth:
I was definitely in a hurry to go out, and I even forgot to take my wallet!
"Ma'am, do you still want coffee?"
"Eh, I forgot to bring the money, I'll go back first"
Before the words fell, Ling Feng, who was standing behind her, suddenly took a step forward from the side and handed the two banknotes in his hand to the waiter:
"This lady's coffee counts as mine. Then, get me an espresso too! ”
Hearing this, the waitress was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at the woman in sunglasses.
Seeing that the other party did not object, he reached out and took the banknote and showed a bright smile to Ling Feng.
"Okay. Please wait."
While speaking, she didn't forget to sigh in her heart: This handsome guy is really a gentleman, handsome and kind-hearted
And here, the woman wearing sunglasses also turned around and looked at Ling Feng:
"Thank you for helping me. I'll go back and get the money back to you now."
Hearing this, Ling Feng just waved his hand and casually refused:
"No, it's just a matter of raising your hands. Moreover, I'm about to leave, and this cup of coffee is like I invite you to drink. ”
"Leave?"
At this time, the woman realized that the black-haired young man in front of her was not only handsome, but also dressed quite fashionably.
A black jacket with a light blue shirt and a black tie, and fine-grained black suit pants are not at the forefront of fashion.
However, it completely sets off the other party's tall and slender figure.
Her head turned, and she blurted out:
"Are you a model?"
However, Ling Feng's answer surprised her a little:
"No, I'm just a passing footballer."
"Soccer players?"
"Yes."
Before the woman could continue to speak, a woman suddenly pushed the door open, interrupting the conversation between the two.
"Is this Mr. Ling?"
Following the prestige and looking at the people who came, Ling Feng opened his mouth and responded: "I am." Are you Kendall's assistant? ”
"Yes, my name is Jenny. This is what Kendall asked me to give you."
After that, the other party handed over a beautifully crafted admission ticket to Ling Feng.
"Thank you."
Kendall's female assistant was so interrupted, and the coffee was good.
So, after taking his cup of coffee, Ling Feng said goodbye to the girl in sunglasses:
"Hey, have a great day!"
Dropping these words, Ling Feng turned around and walked out of the coffee shop.
Only the woman was left flustered for a moment before she reacted, raised her hand and patted her head:
"Oops! Forgot to ask him what his name is and where he plays! ”
"However, it seems that the woman just now called him Mr. Ling. Also, Kendall. How familiar the name sounds."
Ling Feng, who left the coffee shop, didn't know what the woman was thinking.
In his opinion, this is just a small episode in life.
Even if the other party is not a tall and slender "suspected" beauty, but a big man with a round waist and thick shoulders, he will still help.
He doesn't want to reciprocate, he likes the feeling that he has the ability to help others!
