Club chairman Rowley rejected the request of his "good friend" Emma Jones, a beautiful reporter from The Sun, to interview him at his home. This was Rowley's third rejection after returning from Italy, which made Emma Jones very angry and made the secretary Lina look at him from time to time.
"Boss, Mr. Nicky Butt and Mr. Solskjaer are here. "The secretary Lina walked in with her hips twisted. Each of her steps seemed to have a unique rhythm. Her slender waist swayed slightly with her steps, and the tight and perky hips were faintly visible under the light, attracting the attention of many people present. She was wearing a slim black short skirt, and the hem of the skirt swayed gently with her movements, like a rose blooming in the dark night.
Although he was already accustomed to it, Luo Lie's eyes were still unconsciously attracted by her, with a hint of surprise and curiosity in his eyes. He forced himself to calm down and said, "Let them in."
"Okay, boss." Lina seemed to have long been accustomed to such gazes. She raised the corners of her mouth, showing a confident smile, with an indescribable charm in her eyes, and walked straight to the door.
"Boss..." Mr. Nicky Butt and Mr. Solskjaer walked in. Luo Lie motioned them to sit on the sofa in the reception area, and he also got up and sat opposite them.
After sitting down, Solskjaer said, "Boss, why are you looking for us? "
Luo Lie asked with a smile, "Is the fax machine in the transfer department very busy recently?"
"Yeah, hahaha," said Nicky Butt.
"Regarding several young players, whether it is a transfer or a loan, reject them all." "In addition, the contracts of Jamal Musiala, Jude Bellingham, Nico Williams, Josh Gvardiol, Mason Greenwood, and Erling Haaland must be re-signed according to the standards of first-team substitutes. The weekly salary can be appropriately relaxed, but the term should be as long as possible and the penalty should be as high as possible. Cody Gakpo, Dani Olmo, and Marcus Rashford can also be appropriately raised by one level, and the principle is the same as the previous ones. ""Niki, you and Solskjaer, divide the work and get this done as soon as possible. "
"Okay, boss. "Niky Butt and Solskjaer said.
