After defeating Liverpool in the "Double Reds", Manchester United continued to consolidate its advantage in the Premier League standings. After 16 rounds, Manchester United had an unbeaten record of 14 wins and 2 draws, accumulating 44 points, 6 points ahead of its city rival Manchester City, which is in second place.
However, Manchester United did not have all good news. That night, news came from Manchester Hospital: the main right-back Ashraf Hakimi, who was injured in the game, had a right thigh hamstring tendon strain and was expected to be absent for three to four weeks. At the same time, the main central defender Raphael Varane and the main left-back Theo Fernandez were also detected by the intelligent system as leg muscle fatigue, which did not meet the requirements for playing. The team doctor asked them to rest and they will miss the next two games, namely the FA Cup quarter-finals against Leicester City Club at home on January 25 and the 17th round of the Premier League on January 29, away against Huddersfield Town Football Club; neither opponent is particularly strong.
Of course, these problems are naturally a headache for head coach Mourinho and the coaching staff. At this time, Rowley has taken his secretary Lina, CEO Ed Woodward, sports director Solskjaer, partner sales director John Annabell, business director George Adrian and several Manchester United club partners and business department staff on his Gulfstream plane to Beijing, the capital of the Eastern Power, to attend the opening ceremony of the "Manchester United House", which is regarded as a holy place by the majority of Manchester United fans in later generations and is also the first Manchester United experience center in the Eastern Power - the Eastern Power Manchester United Dream Theater.
John Annabell, partner sales director, is an English beauty in her early thirties. She is like a goddess walking out of the British classical painting, exuding a unique charm. A head of silky and smooth blonde hair is slightly curled and casually scattered on the shoulders, as if shining with broken gold in the sun. Her eyes are charming blue, like deep lake water, clear and mysterious, and you can be intoxicated by just a glance. Her skin is as white as snow and as delicate as fine porcelain. Exquisite facial features are just right on her oval face, with a high nose bridge and cherry-like mouth, each of which highlights her beauty and elegance; today, she is wearing a fashionable and decent professional suit, which outlines her figure gracefully.
As the sales director in charge of partner affairs, John Annabell is the general manager of the opening ceremony of the Oriental Power Manchester United Dream Theater. He is reporting to Luo Lie about the arrangements for the celebration. Luo Lie listens carefully, while the secretary Lina is taking notes, focusing on the part where Luo Lie needs to attend and speak.
George Adrian, the business director, is a middle-aged English handsome man with a bald head. Although he has entered middle age, the years have precipitated a different charm on him. Although his hair is sparse, it is neatly combed, revealing a broad forehead, which looks very wise. His eyes are warm brown, revealing the calmness and calmness after vicissitudes. There are a few shallow wrinkles on his face, which are the traces left by the years, but also add to his mature charm.
As the business director, he wore a neat suit and an exquisite tie as usual, and his gestures showed his gentlemanly demeanor. His voice was low and magnetic, and he spoke slowly and clearly. When John Annabell reported on the sponsors involved in the celebration arrangements, he would give Luo Lie detailed information about the delegates.
After listening to the reports of John Annabell and George Adrian, Luo Lie had a general understanding of the arrangements for the entire celebration. He was generally satisfied with it. He praised the two and their partners and the staff of the two business departments, and encouraged them to continue working hard and get more bonuses at the end of the year.
Afterwards, George Adrian, the business director, reported to Luo Lie on the preparations for the "Oriental Edition Limited Edition Jersey" design competition, as well as the procurement progress of specific items such as the "Manchester United Oriental Gift Box" including Chinese tea sets, silk handkerchiefs, Chinese knots, thread-bound "The Analects", and aromatherapy burners.
"George, the "Manchester United Oriental Gift Box" was carefully selected for me by several of my Oriental friends. Last year's Old Trafford Christmas celebration also received unanimous praise from the majority of fans. I plan to shoot a promotional video to talk about the historical and cultural heritage, production process, and popularity of these things in the Christmas celebration."
"Okay, boss. Are your Oriental friends interested in participating in this promotional video?" George Adrian is also a smart person. Seeing Luo Lie mention "several Oriental friends", he guessed that Luo Lie probably shot this promotional video for these friends, or one of them.
"Well, I'll ask after I get to Beijing. Oh, right"Yes, Lina, have you sent the invitations to the opening ceremony of Manchester United House?" Luo Lie turned to his secretary Lina and said.
"It has been sent. Miss Ji Sihan is in Beijing City. She said she will come directly to participate. Miss Liu Xiaoyan and Miss Zhou Yue should arrive at Beijing Capital International Airport at about the same time as us. I have arranged for colleagues from the Oriental Power Branch to pick them up and stay in the same hotel with you. Oh, by the way, Miss Liu Xiaoyan asked for an extra place, saying that she would bring her cousin with her."
Luo Lie nodded and motioned Lina to continue.
"Miss Zhang Yiyi is still in Shancheng filming the TV series "The Blue Sky of the Rain Cat Girl". The schedule is not yet confirmed, but she said she will try her best to coordinate with the company to come." Lina continued.
Luo Lie was stunned after hearing this, and thought to himself: It was my inconsiderateness. "I'll call first. "After saying that, he took out his cell phone and called Zhang Yiyi. Lina, John Annabelle and George Adrian also walked to the other side.
"Hello, Luo Lie." A pleasant female voice came from the phone, and said with some surprise, "Shouldn't you be on the plane now?
"Yes, I'm probably over Finland now." Luo Lie smiled and said, "Are you still in Shancheng? How is the filming of the TV series going?"
"I have finished filming "The Blue Sky of the Rain Cat Girl". I will finish shooting some shots today. I can go back to Beijing City early tomorrow morning." The girl on the phone was a little excited.
"Then send me the flight later, and I will pick you up tomorrow." Luo Lie said.
"Well..." Zhang Yiyi paused and said hesitantly, "No need. I'm with my agent, and the company has arranged a car. Besides, you will definitely be very busy tomorrow, and it will be a waste of time to come and pick me up."
Luo Lie wanted to say, what could be more important than you, but he swallowed the words and just said with expectation, "Then can you come tomorrow?"
"I'm sorry, Luo Lie. I actually want to go. After Miss Lina contacted me, I also coordinated the schedule with the company a few days in advance, but the company has a business event tomorrow, and the partner has named me to participate, so there may be a conflict in time. I have to wait until this is over before I can go. At that time, I will make an appointment with Sister Sihan, Xiaoyan and Yueyue. I haven't seen them for several months." Zhang Yiyi said embarrassedly.
Business event? Isn't it just a dinner to entertain the sponsor? For a newcomer like Zhang Yiyi, it is indeed impossible to refuse, but this partner named her to participate, which makes Luo Lie have a bad premonition.
"Yiyi, is your agent with you? Give her the phone and tell her that Manchester United wants to work with you." Luo Lie thought for a moment and said.
"Luo Lie, I know you want to help me, but I really don't want our relationship to be tainted with too many other things. When we first met, you were just an ordinary Chinese tourist and I was just an ordinary international student. We became friends because we had common topics to talk about, and it had nothing to do with other identities." Zhang Yiyi's tone was a little serious and stubborn.
"No, no, no, Yiyi, you misunderstood me. At Christmas, the "Manchester United Oriental Gift Box" that you, Sihan, Xiaoyan and Yueyue helped me pick was welcomed by the majority of fans. I plan to make a documentary to introduce the historical background and cultural connotation of specific objects such as Chinese tea sets, silk handkerchiefs, Chinese knots, thread-bound "The Analects", and aromatherapy burners to my friends in England. People in the team told me that it would be best if Oriental girls introduced them in the promotional video. I thought you helped me pick these things, so I wanted to invite you to participate in the filming of the promotional video." Luo Lie hurriedly explained.
"Then you don't have to tell the company specifically. Why spend that money? The Spring Festival is coming in a few days. We will have a holiday then. Just shoot my part then." Zhang Yiyi's tone was obviously softened, but this silly girl who had just stepped into the entertainment industry from the ivory tower was obviously not used to her identity change.
"That won't work. I'm worried that Shenyu will sue Manchester United Club after the promotional video is broadcast. Besides, you just said that personal relationships are personal relationships and work is work. Manchester United Club will definitely pay for this filming, and we will also prepare a gift for you. Thank you for helping to choose the "Manchester United Oriental Gift Box." Luo Lie said with a smile, and then seemed to think of something, and continued, "Ji Sihan, Liu Xiaoyan and Zhou Yue are all the same, so I won't make a special offer for you."
"Well, okay then." Zhang Yiyi was a little entangled, but didn't know how to refute.
"There is another activity. Our Manchester United Club plans to integrate Manchester United's club elements with Eastern history, culture and art, targeting the Eastern big country, the small Japanese country, the Korean country, and the Southeast Asian region, which are Chinese-speaking cultural"We have launched a limited edition jersey for fans in the Oriental Great Country, "We have joined forces with the Central Academy of Fine Arts, the National Academy of Fine Arts, Jitong University in Haicheng, Gangcheng Polytechnic University, Beijing Film Academy, Communication University of the Oriental Great Country, Tokyo University of the Arts, Hongik University in South Korea, Chulalongkorn University in Siam, National University of Indonesia, and Lasalle College of the Arts in Singapore, and other six countries. Eleven top universities in fashion design have created the first Manchester United "Oriental Edition Limited Edition Jersey" design competition; I would like to invite you to be the image spokesperson for this competition."
"I..." Zhang Yiyi was a little speechless for a moment.
"Yes, the drama you starred in is not a campus drama, and you are a student yourself, how suitable. Besides, I don't know anyone else in the Oriental Great Country entertainment circle, so you are the one." Luo Lie continued to bewitch.
"Xiaoyan is also going to debut this year, you can go find her."
"Put aside her question for now, and ask her when we all meet." Luo Lie paused, and continued, "Let's talk about yours first. I think you are a good fit. Are you worried that the company won't agree? Give me your agent's contact information and I'll talk to her."
"But..."
"Don't say buts. Isn't Liu Xiaoyan going back to Turin, Italy to continue her studies? The schedule may not be right for her. Besides, there is no conflict. For a competition among eleven universities in six countries, it's no problem to arrange multiple endorsements. I'll ask Zhou Yue tomorrow. Maybe this girl is still interested." Luo Lie changed the subject at the right time.
"Hehe." Listening to Luo Lie talking about Zhou Yue, Liu Xiaoyan couldn't help but laugh. According to this girl's personality, it's really possible. "Okay, wait a minute while I go find my agent."
"Okay." After saying that, Luo Lie waved to Lina, John Annabell and George Adrian, motioning them to sit down, and then put the phone on the speakerphone and placed it on the coffee table in front of him.
"Hello, Chairman Luo Lie. I am Zhang Yiyi's agent Zhang Tianzhen." About three or five minutes later, a Beijing accent sounded on the phone.
"Hello, Agent Zhang. Did Kuang Yiyi tell you?" Luo Lie asked.
"I'm sorry, Chairman Luo Lie. Yiyi only gave a rough idea, but it wasn't particularly clear...." Zhang Tianzhen said hesitantly.
"Oh, so, let me tell you in detail." Luo Lie interrupted Zhang Tianzhen and said, "First, our Manchester United club is going to shoot a promotional video for "Manchester United Oriental Gift Box" and would like to invite Yiyi and her roommates to star in it. After the film is completed, Manchester United Club will broadcast it on youtube, ins, tiktok, Twitter and several mainstream European TV stations."
Zhang Tianzhen listened to Luo Lie. She knew that once this film was released, it would definitely bring a lot of heat on the Internet, but when she thought that Zhang Yiyi was just a little transparent in the entertainment industry who had just entered the circle, these heats on the Internet would not help her much in the short term.
"Second, Manchester United Club has jointly organized a jersey design competition with eleven universities and colleges, and would like to invite Yiyi to be the image spokesperson for this competition." Luo Lie continued.
"Well, although our Yiyi has just entered the circle, her first starring TV series "The Blue Sky of the Rain Cat Girl" is about to be broadcast..." Zhang Tianzhen listened to the event mentioned by Luo Lie and thought it was a small-scale event, and gradually revealed the momentum of an ace agent. I could also vaguely hear Zhang Yiyi trying to snatch the phone from behind.
