Volume 5 Red Chapter 43 Kiss
Finish the breakfast Shania made, Tony. Don sat on the sofa and read the major newspapers that had just been published and put on sale today, and in addition to being concerned about what his dear news media friends were saying about him, he also wanted to see if there were any interesting gossip and anecdotes, and by the way, to learn about all aspects of this society. After all, he was a complete Chinese in his previous life, and he was quite unfamiliar with capitalist society.
In addition, deep down, he wanted to see if there was any news about that man. He hurriedly skimmed through the social section and flipped to the sports section.
A draw at home to Chelsea didn't allow Forest to open up a point gap to the top two, which may have been one of the reasons why Done could still laugh after the game. Due to the 2-2 draw between Manchester United and Arsenal, the gap between Donn and the two teams is still one point - Arsenal and Manchester United are tied on 30 points, and the ranking is temporarily determined by goal difference, Arsenal is first, Manchester United is second. Nottingham Forest are provisionally third with 29 points. Manchester City are fourth and fifth with Liverpool on 26 points, while Jose Mourinho's Chelsea ...... Poor Chelsea are sixth on 25 points after being held to a draw by Forest in the latter moments.
Seeing the freshly released league table in the newspapers, Don knew that Mourinho's words would be even more sad...... Perhaps, however, Mourinho has time to adjust and save his managerial career at Chelsea. Of course, he couldn't do it if he didn't want to save Donn.
It's the first day after the game, and the team is off and doesn't have to do any training. Players and coaches have a full day to rest. After that, the players who have the national team to play will fly to their national team home and join their national team teammates. If you don't have a national team assignment, you will return to the Wilford training base for regular training. Since the Forest team will be missing a large number of key players by then, the team will not conduct any tactical training, mainly some physical recovery training.
At that time, Donn's job was very simple, and most of the things were handled by the assistant coach. But Don will be busier than ever. Because Don was going back to China for two days.
Nottingham Forest's TV station in Hunan, China, as well as a number of media and sports economic companies, has entered the finals training stage. According to the cooperation agreement signed between the two parties, Nottingham Forest needs to send a coach to China for a short period of study and guidance, which is not long, only four days. But if Don hadn't mentioned it, Don probably wouldn't have remembered.
That cooperation or something, after signing the agreement, he threw it to the country of Java. I don't even remember that there was such a clause in between. So when he heard Don say that he was going back to China, Don's eyes widened as if Don was joking with him.
It took Tang a long time to make Don understand that he was not joking, but really wanted to return to China to fulfill the contract according to the requirements of the contract. Don muttered again why it was him, not any other coach. Tang's sentence "Because I am Chinese, the event is held in China" made Tang En speechless.
I really can't find a more suitable candidate than Don. Evan and Allen want to fully demonstrate Nottingham Forest's sincerity in participating in this cooperation activity, so the club's senior management has asked for the level and qualifications of the coaches sent to China, and Tang, who is Chinese, is naturally the best candidate. There is no one who knows the current situation of Chinese football and the young Chinese football better than him - for outsiders.
Don was reading the newspaper when the doorbell rang. He was about to get up to open the door when he heard a rush of footsteps. Shania scurried out of the kitchen, her apron on, her wet hands drying off before she could dry. She opened the door and shouted, "Brother Tang! ”
"Good morning, Shania. Tony: He ...... "Don outside the door saw Don appearing behind Shania.
Don also noticed a suitcase at Don's feet.
"Leaving?"
Tang nodded: "This afternoon's ticket." ”
"The plane in the afternoon, it's only morning, don't be so ......" Don turned his head and saw a black taxi parked on the side of the road behind Don, with a familiar face in the back window. He groaned. "I also said to send you, but now it seems that I don't need to."
Don knew who Don was seeing, and he nodded, "She went back with me." ”
Don nodded in understanding.
"I won't say much, stay safe, go early and come back early."
Tang En smiled: "Maybe I will bring you a Chinese genius back?" ”
Tang En pouted: "Table tennis genius?" ”
Don didn't respond to his sarcasm, he lifted the box, said goodbye to the two men standing at the door, and turned to walk towards the taxi. Tang Jing in the taxi was also smiling and waving goodbye to Tang En, but Tang En pretended not to see it with a straight face.
Closing the door, Shania asked Don, "You don't want Don to go, Uncle Tony." ”
"Of course, when he's gone, I'm going to have to do a lot of trivial things...... And those are the things I hate to do the most. Don shrugged and walked back into the living room, continuing to read his newspaper.
Shania looked at his back and smiled: "It's okay, let you exercise!" ”
Tang En, who was sitting on the sofa, asked without looking back: "Have you been very idle lately, don't you have any work?" ”
"My work was concentrated until Christmas, and now I have a lot of time to rest."
Don lay on the sofa and stretched: "Never...... I've never seen a laid-back professional model like you. ”
Shania didn't rush back to the kitchen, she pouted and sat down, "This time next year will not be so leisurely. ”
"How?"
"Mr. Faisal gave me some work that had nothing to do with the catwalk."
"Do you shoot TV commercials?"
"No, make a movie." There was not a hint of joy in Shania's voice.
Donn sat up from the couch and looked at Shania as she sat in her chair. "Why don't I think your voice sounds so happy, I should congratulate you......"
"It's just a character who doesn't even have lines, what's there to congratulate."
Don smiled: "It turned out that I was unhappy because I didn't become the main character." There is no natural protagonist in this world, and those big movie stars all started from a trick without a single line. I remember you loved watching movies......"
Shania nodded: "Yes, it's because I like it, so I want to try what it will be like to act by myself, otherwise I wouldn't have agreed to that kind of work at all......"
Don coughed, "You keep refusing the job that Mr. Faisal has given you, which makes it difficult for Mr. Faisal to do, Shania." ”
Shania shrugged, pursed her lips, and said nothing.
Don looked at Shania with her head bowed sullenly, and his eyes rolled, and he suddenly thought of someone. The last time I saw that person, she said that she was going to Hollywood to work as a producer, maybe she could help a little, right?
Since it's something Shania likes, I should help her. Although the entertainment industry is the same chaos all over the world, it is ...... If anyone dares to bully Shania, he will definitely make the other party look good.
Moreover, if that person is really doing well in Hollywood, it shouldn't be difficult for her to help take care of Shania, right?
Donn heard a faint sound of water coming from inside the kitchen, and he pointed. Shania also reacted, she was in a hurry to come out and open the door just now, and forgot to turn off the water. With a scream, Shania jumped up and ran back to the kitchen.
Don also went upstairs, and he was going to call this friend and ask her to help with this.
※※※
"Tony?" It was Donn's voice that was heard, Chriss. Gronia was a little surprised. "You haven't called me for so long, I thought you forgot about me!"
The enthusiasm in this voice could be felt clearly even across a telephone line and the entire Atlantic, and he snorted. It's true that I'm busy with work and neglect to contact her, but maybe there's another reason - I'm a little afraid of facing Gronya's enthusiasm.
"It's too busy at work...... I'm sorry, Chriss. Are you okay in the United States? I haven't heard much from you either. ”
Chrissy smiled, "I've always known your latest gossip, Tony." You'll always be a celebrity in the sports media, how about that Turkish beauty? ”
Don coughed twice: "There will always be a variety of scenery in life......"
Chrissy on the other end of the line was already laughing, and when she finished laughing, she said, "You must have something to do when you call me, right?" ”
Don likes this smart person to communicate, and some words can be understood by the other party without him having to say it himself, which can save a lot of things.
"Hmm...... That's right......" Don told Chrissy about Shania, and his expectations. Then he waited for a reply.
There was silence for a while, and Gronia suddenly asked, "Tony, tell me, what is your relationship with Shania?" ”
Tang En was stunned for a moment when asked, and then said, "What do you say...... Perhaps her guardian in the UK would be more suitable? When Shania moved here, her parents did communicate with Don, and they wanted Don to take good care of Shanya, make her happy, and supervise her.
"That's right......" There was silence again, this time a little longer, making Don think the call had been interrupted.
"Okay, if she comes here to develop, I will do my best to take care of her." Gronia breathed a sigh of relief when she said what Donn wanted to hear the most. After all, Don is not a person who likes to beg people, he feels that it is a bad thing to owe others favors and let others owe himself favors, and he is always used to solving any troubles by himself. This is true both before and after the crossing. Only this time, Shania's affairs are really not helpful to him, the football coach......
"Thank you so much, Chriss. I...... Uh, how can I thank you......" Don really didn't know how to repay the other party.
Gronia on the other end of the line laughed again: "I think I can hear the unruly Tony." Don whispered so quietly and cautiously thanked me, which was a good reward. This kind of thing is not something that everyone can encounter. ”
Don scratched his head and smirked.
"You are my friend, and the business of your friend is naturally my business." Gronia is a bit less like a woman, she shows her capable side, and she is quite like those heroes in Chinese martial arts. "Don't say anything thanks, Tony. Also, Tony, I just found out a little bit of news that might help you and Shania. ”
It turns out that the two silences just now were to go to someone to inquire about the news? Don admired this woman's style of doing things in his heart. He rarely admired women, because he might be a bit machismo, but Chrissy. Gronia really convinced him.
"The film in which Shania played a role, the producer was...... United States (united_artists). "If you are a person in the film industry, you will be familiar with this thunderous name, and you will be amazed after hearing Gronia say this name. But Donn, an otaku who doesn't know anything but football, doesn't react at all, waiting for Gronia to continue.
Gronia also remembered Done's identity, and she smiled: "This is a very influential production company in Hollywood, which was first created by Chaplin (charlie_chaplin) and Mary. Beater (mary_pickford), Douglas. Founded in 1919 by Hollywood figures such as Van Punk (douglas_fairbanks) and Griffith (.griffith), it was part of MGM Pictures. After she said so many names of celebrities in the film industry, Don finally understood the status of this company, but ...... What does this have to do with Shania? Those people are old men.
Gronia knew that Don wouldn't know the mystery behind this, and she patiently continued to prompt: "A year ago, this company changed owners, and their new executor is Tom. Cruise. Do you remember anything, Tony? ”
Speaking of this familiar name, Donn reacted immediately - "Tom." Cruise? He wasn't David. Is David Beckham's friend? ”
On the other end of the line, Gronya's fingers snapped. "Correct. You can use this relationship to formally introduce Shania to Tom. Cruise. Not only in this film, but also for her future development in Hollywood. ”
The news was indeed very useful to Don and Shania, and Don once again sincerely thanked Gronia and warmly invited her to come to England, after which the two said goodbye to each other, hung up the phone, and walked downstairs.
Shania had finished cleaning up the kitchen and was curled up on the couch, hugging Totoro's pillow and watching the movie. Don remembered that Shania had indeed watched movies more often than usual in recent times, was she wondering how to act?
Although she is just a character without a single line, she takes it very seriously......
Thinking of this, Don felt how right it was for him to ask Gronia for help.
Shania doesn't like models, but she loves movies, if she can make something about being an actor...... It's also very good!
Don smiled and sat down next to Shania and looked at her.
Shania thought it was a little strange to ask your uncle today, and she looked away from the TV screen and turned to Donn's face. "What is it that makes you so happy, Uncle Tony?"
"Hmm......" Donn thought for a moment and decided to be more direct. I'm going to introduce you to someone who loves movies so much, I think you'll be interested. ”
"Who?"
"Hollywood superstar Tom. Cruise! Don gestured and announced excitedly. He is David. Good friend of Beckham, I can use this relationship to go to David and ask him to introduce you to him. Isn't it nice to have one more friend when you develop in Hollywood? ”
Don finished excitedly, and found that Shania looked at him with a strange expression, not as happy as he imagined, and he felt strange: "What's the matter, Shania?" ”
"Uncle Tony......" Shania coughed, "You met with Mr. and Mrs. David, or did I introduce you?" ”
"yes, what's wrong?"
"They knew me before they knew you. Victoria and I have a good relationship, so ...... I met Tom before I introduced you to each other. The role I played this time was also ...... with Tom's help."
Don opened his mouth wide, as if he had heard a wonderful story. Then he reacted and muttered with some annoyance: "So I did all the useless work just now? ”
Seeing Don bow her head in frustration, Shania smiled slightly, she got up from the couch, knelt behind Don, and then put her arms around his neck. Don could feel the two soft balls on Shania's chest against his back, and he suddenly felt a little nervous.
"Although...... But it's thanks Uncle Tony. Shania whispered, kissing Don on the cheek.
After kissing Shania, she let go of Done, jumped off the couch, and stretched, "You reminded me, Uncle Tony. I'll have to introduce you to my friends. Do you like watching the Spy series? ”
Don hummed in a daze, he was still reminiscing about the kiss just now. Soft, moist and sweet...... Even though it's just on the cheek, it's still wonderful.
The moment Shania's lips pressed against him, he could clearly feel the sensation of his heart stopping. It was at that moment that my heart contracted violently.
It was the closest contact he had ever had with Shania in all his time with her. It was as if he heard something break deep inside him, making a "click" sound. He didn't know if the voice represented something good or bad.
By the time he came to his senses, Shania had gone upstairs. Sitting alone on the couch in the living room, Don slowly reached out and gently rubbed his hand on the cheek that had been kissed by Shania.
Shania ...... Shania is no longer the child lying in her arms, sweaty and miserable with a high fever......
He put his other hand on his hand and buried his face deep in.
