After signing with AC Milan, I will be the king of football!

”You were always a big deal!”

The young lady said with a tender expression.

”Ah, it just feels too fast, I wasn’t even prepared, and suddenly I became a socialite.”

Huang Kaiwen shook his head.

Huang Kaiwen picked up the newspaper he hadn’t had a chance to read in the morning.

He discovered that the Milan Sports Newspaper had published a photo of Sheva’s agent Fabio Parisi in London, having a cheerful conversation with Abramovich.

Huang Kaiwen then remembered.

Sheva must be planning to leave.

Everyone was on good terms, and Huang Kaiwen still wanted to ask why.

”Andre, are you going to Chelsea?”

After the call connected, Huang Kaiwen got straight to the point.

”You know already, Kevin.” Shevchenko said with a wry smile, ”Cristine isn’t comfortable with life in Italy. For my family, I had no other choice.”

”Alright then, I wish you all the best for the future.”

Huang Kaiwen said.

After hanging up the phone.

Huang Kaiwen felt it wasn’t that simple.

Family reasons definitely existed, but there must have been other factors, including him and Kaka.

He and Kaka were both offensive rather than organizational cores, requiring a large amount of ball possession and shooting opportunities.

So, Huang Kaiwen had no grounds to persuade Sheva.

Everything appeared to be better in London.

Higher salary, his wife liked the English-speaking environment, and he could become the core of the team.

How could one argue against that?

Tactical differences aren’t personal issues, but they are even harder to reconcile.

Every midfield player’s rise involved sacrifices from the forwards.

It turned out that Toni’s transfer to Milan played a very strong tactical role.

Underneath this performance, however, was a significant reduction in the goals Toni should have made to become the Serie A top scorer.

At night, lying in bed.

A busy day’s work later, Huang Kaiwen fell asleep within minutes.

Watching the sleeping profile of Huang Kaiwen, the young lady revealed a gentle smile, lightly kissed his forehead, then quietly climbed into bed, pulled up the quilt, and laid her arm across Huang Kaiwen’s chest as she closed her eyes.

The next morning.

Huang Kaiwen had just woken up when he saw Barbara was already packed.

”My dad wants to meet you.”

The young lady said.

”I know, I thought I would meet him yesterday at the Presidential Palace.”

Huang Kaiwen said with a headache.

”Let’s go, I’ll come with you.”

The young lady briskly helped Huang Kaiwen change his clothes and said.

”Okay.”

...

Be’s private house was very large.

Huang Kaiwen could only describe it as very large.

”Good morning, Dad.”

Upon seeing Be, the young lady went up to give a cheek-to-cheek greeting.

”My Barbara is finally home.”

Be said with a chuckle.

Since Huang Kaiwen had given her advice.

The young lady transformed into a devoted daughter and quickly became the most ”sensible” child in the family.

”Hello.”

Huang Kaiwen nodded.

”Come with me.”

Be led the way into the study, pointing to a chair in front of the desk and said, ”Sit.”

After Huang Kaiwen sat down, Be poured two glasses of drink and handed one to Huang Kaiwen.

Be started talking, ”In your two years at AC Milan, you made a lot of money for me. Barbara likes you a lot. I think I should give you an early wedding gift.”

”Thank you very much.”

Huang Kaiwen sipped his whiskey, keeping his composure as he spoke.

There are two kinds of people you can’t trust in this world: politicians and businessmen.

Be happened to be both.

And about marriage, Huang Kaiwen hadn’t even thought about it yet.

Be looked at Barbara, who was sitting on the couch, and said, ”Give the men some time; go and get them to prepare lunch.”

The young lady looked at Huang Kaiwen.

Huang Kaiwen gently nodded to reassure her not to worry.

Once the young lady had left the study, Be continued, ”You are already the most famous man in Italy, a socialite, you can get whatever you want.”

”Maybe I still need some time.”

Huang Kaiwen said.

”Don’t underestimate yourself, I was young once too.” Sitting on the desk, Be turned the photo frame and said, ”Everything started from this office; it reminds me of my humble beginnings.”

Huang Kaiwen looked at the photo album inside which a young Be was sitting in the office; he did look quite good.

Be walked to the window and continued, ”It reminds me how I single-handedly created the company with just me, the office, a few employees, and... the 12 million lira borrowed from my father.”

Cough cough.

Damn.

Indeed, behind every successful entrepreneur, there is at least a middle-class father.

Even though the Italian Lira depreciated during the 60s and the Italian government began issuing high denomination bills, Huang Kaiwen was sure that 12 million lira was a lot.

Huang Kaiwen almost choked on his drink, coughed twice, and shaking his head said, ”You indeed entirely relied on yourself, it was really not easy... Sir.”

”No more ’sir’; we are practically family soon.”

Be said.

Huang Kaiwen thought to himself, you leave the inheritance to Barbara, then we are family.

”For instance, I already helped push for your knighthood, and now, I need some help with a few things.” Be put down his glass and looked at Huang Kaiwen.

Huang Kaiwen sighed with relief.

Finally, it’s here.

Before, because he didn’t know what it was about, he had been on tenterhooks.

Huang Kaiwen kept his composure and said, ”What is it, you can tell me.”

Seeing Huang Kaiwen non-committal, Be had to continue, ”Calderon reached me through Florentino; Calderon had helped Florentino with the candidacy for Real Madrid’s presidency, now it’s Florentino’s turn to help him. Calderon wants to win the presidency of Real Madrid, and I, incidentally, have some business needing Florentino’s help, we also have cooperation, their requests are hard for me to refuse.”
