Chapter 194 A certain year, a certain month, a certain day
"How much?" Li Rui asked with a smile, he can guess that it should be a lot of money.
"The weekly salary is 4 pounds." Rodriguez seemed to let go when he heard Li Rui, "There is still [-]% portrait rights."

Even though Li Rui was prepared in his heart, he was still surprised by the price. The weekly salary of 4 pounds can only be regarded as the lower middle salary among Chelsea players. However, for Li Rui, who is less than 20 years old, only two For a young man with one season's experience in the top league, it is already a very high salary, and there is also [-]% portrait rights.
You must know that in a high-profile team like Chelsea, the player's portrait rights are also a considerable amount of income, which cannot be compared with a team like Leeds United.

The hesitation was only momentary, Li Rui took a deep breath, he was afraid that his hesitation would really tempt him, "Robbie, help me reject Mr Kenyon, just say that I don't want to leave Leeds United for the time being."

…………

Rodriguez let out a long sigh over there. He didn't expect Li Rui's refusal to be so straightforward, and he even hesitated for a few seconds. Rodriguez knew that he should persuade Li Rui, Chelsea's bright future, let's describe it carefully, what about entering a wealthy family and gaining more honors? These words were already on the tip of my tongue, but Li Rui slapped them back with a single word.

"Robbie, I have a good stay in Leeds United. I believe that this team is suitable for me now." Li Rui also joked to Rodriguez, "Now, Chelsea is asking for a weekly salary of 4. Maybe in a few years, more people will ask for 8 yuan..."

Of course, Rodriguez can't say that there is no such thing as this store after passing this village. In his heart, he is very optimistic about Li Rui's strength and future, but he just feels that it is a pity to miss this opportunity to enter a wealthy family. That's all. Of course, Rodriguez also knows that for Li Rui, Leeds United is the most suitable for Li Rui.

…………

"Okay." Rodriguez said on the other end of the phone, "I will decline Chelsea's kindness for you. Since you plan to stay at Leeds United, I respect your decision. Then, as your agent, I will fight for a new contract for you, both for your benefit and for me personally."

"New contract?" Li Rui froze on the other end of the phone.

"That's right, don't you think that your current salary does not match your contribution to the team and your strength at all?" Rodriguez said with a smile, "Li, listen to me, you Make money with your own strength, please don't feel embarrassed, don't talk to me with hypocritical modesty in the Eastern style."

Li Rui also had a guilty conscience on the other end of the phone. It is true that when talking about money, the Chinese are always hesitating, and they should talk about it with confidence, but it seems to be stained with the smell of copper. Rodriguez is an old friend of Qiu Zuolin, and he is quite familiar with the thinking of oriental people, so he said that.

…………

To be honest, Li Rui is really dissatisfied with his current salary. To put it bluntly, if other teams in the Premier League know that Li Rui has such a low salary, they will definitely be surprised and ready to move.

"Thank you, Robbie!" Li Rui saw Jessica Alba holding her chin, her beautiful eyes open, looking at the snow outside the window, she was also in a daze, stunned by her beauty, and then realized I realized that after talking on this phone call for a while, I put Jessica Alba aside, and I felt apologetic in my heart. He said to Rodriguez on the other end of the phone, "You represent me in this matter. It's up to the club to negotiate, I think Mr Stubbs will have a headache, haha."

…………

Jessica Alba looked out the window, there was a thin layer of snowflakes, pedestrians stepped on it, a shallow trace...Seeing that Li Rui hung up the phone, "Is there a big team inviting you?"

"Well. My agent said that Chelsea in London invited me. As long as I agree, the treatment, transfer fee, and portrait rights will not be a problem." Li Rui looked at Jessica Alba. She is wearing a short fur jacket today. The jacket with a bow tie looks youthful, beautiful and intellectual. A pair of tight jeans perfectly reflects Jessica Alba's slender legs. The neutral Wingtip boots on her feet do not appear to be Too luxurious.

Although news related to player transfers generally needs to be kept secret, in Li Rui's subconscious mind, it seems that Jessica Alba does not belong to this category of secrecy.

"Wow, I know that team." Jessica Alba looked playful with a ponytail today. "Their boss is an ambitious Russian."

"Have you met him?" Li Rui was a little surprised. You know, this rich Russian man is notoriously mysterious.

"Hmm. At a party in Los Angeles." Jessica Alba asked, holding her chin. "As far as I know, it's a great club. How could you refuse?"

…………

Li Rui looked at Jessica Alba, and he suddenly had an urge to hold the girl in front of him in his arms, untie the ponytail, and caress Jessica Alba's soft long hair.

"Yes, it was impossible for me to refuse. The salary offered by the London side is more than four times that of my current salary, and it promises 4% portrait rights." Li Rui stirred the coffee and looked out the window. It was getting late and the street lights It lit up, and you can see that the quiet street is getting lively, and there are even a few children playing football in the small snowflakes. The orange football looks like a ball of fire.

"WO~" Jessica Alba opened her sexy mouth slightly. Hollywood female stars certainly know [-]% portrait rights, what it means to a star, for some popular stars with high exposure, portrait It is definitely a lot of money, even higher than the salary, which means that if Li Rui transfers to the London team, he will earn a lot more every year.

The coffee juice splashed on Jessica Alba's little finger. Instead of wiping it off with a tissue, she put her little finger in her mouth and sucked it. Li Rui's heart skipped a beat at this moment.

This woman didn't notice that her every move was so fatal...

…………

"You've decided, you won't go, right?" Jessica stared at Li Rui with bright eyes. To be honest, she was a little curious about what made Li Rui give up such good conditions and chose to stay in a Small ball club.

Li Rui smiled and explained: "Of course I won't go. I am doing well in Leeds United. I am the core of the team's offense. I have a very good relationship with my teammates and the coaches. And most importantly, I am very happy here, I have friends who work hard together, I will not consider going anywhere else now, London is very good, but it is not suitable for me now."

Jessica Alba patted her stomach, her delicate appearance made people feel distressed: "However, in a big club like London, you will be more likely to touch the championship, and you can also participate in European competitions."

Jessica Alba bit the word "European Competition" very hard. She had done her homework beforehand. She raised her beautiful eyebrows, as if to say that Jessica Alba is not a hypocrite who knows nothing. fan.

…………

Li Rui looked into Jessica Alba's eyes, made an intimate and ambiguous gesture, lowered his head, and his lips almost touched Jessica Alba's: "I know, but, champion, And Europe, I'm going to win it with Leeds! Because I'm here."

Jessica Alba did not expect that Li Rui would suddenly be so brave. She suddenly had an illusion. When talking about football, this big boy who was even a little shy had confidence from the bottom of his heart. What did you say just now, Jesse Ka Alba has no doubt that this boy will do it!

At this time, the two realized the ambiguity of this posture. Li Rui sat back in a panic and leaned back on the seat. Jessica Alba also blushed, but, for some reason, her heart unexpectedly With a touch of disappointment...the lips of the two almost touched each other...

…………

Outside the window, snowflakes were still falling. Both of them were a little embarrassed, looking out the window quietly. Leeds is a small town, and the classic European residences added a fairy-tale charm to this small town.

"I like snow, I like this kind of whiteness, I like this kind of spotless whiteness, I like this kind of whiteness that can be scattered on the road, on the trees, in the garden, on the roof..." Li Rui looked at the snowflakes outside the window, but smelled the snow in the air. Full of the smell of Blue Mountain coffee.

Jessica Alba looked at Li Rui in surprise, as if she wanted to confirm that the words just now were spoken by the person in front of her, this high-spirited and even rude Chinese player on the court. She never thought that , Such a poetic sentence, unexpectedly, will come from the mouth of a football player. In most cognitions, a football player seems to be equated with the so-called "reckless man".

"Actually, you can become a poet." Jessica Alba winked playfully.

"In my impression, most of the poets starve to death..." Li Rui did not forget to be humorous, stood up, bowed slightly, and stretched out a hand, "Beautiful lady, I don't know if there is a Didn't I have the honor to invite you to go snowshoeing together?"

Jessica Alba slowly stood up, her eyes seemed to be able to speak.

On December 2004, 12, the day before Christmas Eve, in Leeds, England, in a small restaurant called 'Jimmy's Cottage', Jessica Alba felt the string in her heart trembling quietly...
