I just wanted to play football, but I became a Hollywood god

Chapter 383: Charity dinner with big bosses gathered!Vanity Fair!Shura Field!Two female bosses fighting!
Rubbing, rubbing...

Gu Ran was so excited that he followed Victoria into the newly decorated Savoy Hotel.

This old hotel is not luxurious, and is still decorated in the Edwardian VII style. However, it is precisely because of its historical and cultural atmosphere and its elegant and pretentious taste that upper-class celebrities like to gather here.

Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief after avoiding the small media reporters and the "trolls" arranged by Mendes.

But the arms are still tight.

In addition to not being used to the feel of this kind of silicone, Gu Ran was even more afraid of getting into trouble with Victoria.

How should I put it, although Gu Ran was like this or that, at his core, Gu Ran was really a serious person.

He still likes the traditional touch...

Gu Ran wanted to pull his hand out of Victoria's round arms, but Victoria seemed to have no intention of letting go of Gu Ran.

Gu Ran exerted a little force, and Victoria followed suit.

As a result, instead of pulling out, Gu Ran was held even tighter by Victoria.

Gu Ran was sweating.

Gu Ran was afraid that Victoria's silicone would burst due to excessive force.

Then there is no compensation.

I am very poor now. My income for the next three years has been mortgaged and I cannot afford to pay back.

Even if you can afford to pay, you can't blow it up, otherwise the tabloid reporters won't know how to use their imagination.

Victoria raised her eyebrows and said half charmingly, half coquettishly: "Gu, should you thank me properly?"

"That's right," Gu Ran said quickly, "Thank you, sister-in-law...oh no, thank you, Mrs. Beckham."

Victoria giggled, her half-shoulder evening dress almost unable to hold her two semicircles of silicone, "Oh God, Gu, you are so... so cute! Don't call me Mrs. Beckham, either." Don’t call me Victoria, just call me Vicky, that’s what David called me.”

Gu Ran quickly said: "Then, why are you so embarrassed? How can I be the same as my brother Bei?"

Victoria smiled and said: "What's so embarrassing about this? Or... By the way, what did you call me just now? Sister-in-law?"

"Oh," Gu Ran quickly explained: "I just wanted to call you sister-in-law. This is the custom of us Chinese to call you, ahem, respect."

Victoria smiled with interest: "We British also have this word, but we basically don't say it in spoken language, but... it sounds quite interesting, quite fashionable, quite trendy, I like to listen to you Call me sister-in-law. I think that accent and expression when you call me sister-in-law are so special. If you call me sister-in-law again, let me hear it."

Damn it!I'm really not that special!

The corner of Gu Ran's mouth trembled slightly, and he said in a stiff voice: "Sister-in-law..."

"Yes, that's how it feels! It's so special! Then you can call me sister-in-law from now on!" Victoria said happily: "Gu, don't be too formal. David has already told me that you are his little brother. , you can kick the full moon scimitar just like him."

Gu Ran said quickly: "Thank you, Brother Bei, for the compliment."

Gu Ran said sincerely: "Yes, Beckham is my eldest brother. I have always wanted to be my eldest brother... No, I mean, I have always followed my eldest brother as my role model."

Damn it!I almost said the wrong thing!

But Victoria chuckled, with countless charms on her brows and eyes, "Not only that, David also praised you, saying that your full-moon scimitar is longer and stronger than his... ah, I'm really good I want to witness it with my own eyes and let you compare it in front of me."

Sister-in-law, are you sure you are talking about the Full Moon Scimitar?
Gu Ran's mouth trembled, "Sister-in-law, I can't do it..."

Victoria laughed so hard, "Gu, we haven't even competed together yet, why did you say you can't do it first? The more you say that, the more I look forward to the two of you competing together - but unfortunately, David is now playing for Milan in Serie A, and you are in English League One, so the two of you should never meet."

That's not necessarily...

As long as we win the EFL Cup, we can play in the Europa League next year. If we play in the Europa League, we may run into AC Milan, who were eliminated from the Champions League.

At that time, we can compete to see whose full-moon scimitar is longer... Bah!

Gu Ran said this in his heart, but on the surface he breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately."

Victoria smiled and said: "Oh Gu, you are so cute, I like you - why don't you smile? This time Mendes organized the game, I had a hard time getting this place to participate, just to be able to compete with Come and see me! Just smile and show it to your sister-in-law."

shit...

It's actually because of my face!
Am I already so influential?Sure enough, from now on, we have to act like a celebrity.

Gu Ran resisted the urge to smile at Victoria and said forcefully: "Sister-in-law, I'm...facial paralyzed!"

"Ah?!" Victoria exclaimed, "Gu, it turns out you..."

Gu Ran said with full sincerity: "Yes, sister-in-law, I... have flaws!"

Victoria suddenly looked at Gu Ran with heartache, "Oh, Gu, I'm sorry, it's all sister-in-law's fault. Sister-in-law shouldn't be like this. Sister-in-law feels sorry for you, and sister-in-law must make it up to you."

As she spoke, Victoria pressed her whole body against Gu Ran's body, as if she was trying to hug an injured kitten.

Gu Ran was numb all over!

I wanted to pretend to be defective so that Victoria would take the initiative to stay away, but who knew that Victoria would be overflowing with love!

This, this, this... I can’t stand it anymore!
Gu Ran broke into a cold sweat!

At this moment, Mendes, wearing a crisp suit, came out from the banquet hall with a bright face.

"Ah ha, my dear Gu, you are here! Oh God, Victoria? Welcome, welcome, long time no see, how are you doing?"

Mendes hugged Victoria warmly.

Gu Ran finally took the opportunity to pull out his stiff arm.

Victoria turned to Mendes with a face full of complaints: "Jorge, you are really shameless. You are holding a charity banquet in London and you don't take the initiative to invite me. You have to fight for it yourself."

Mendes said apologetically: "I'm sorry, my dear Victoria, this is the negligence of my staff. They thought that you were attending Fashion Week in Milan and would not make time to come. For this reason, I have already severely punished you." I scolded them severely."

Mendez's ability to deflect blame is so average that a three-year-old can hear it.

But with Mendes' attitude, Victoria didn't pursue the matter.

Victoria took Gu Ran's arm again very naturally, "I am Gu Ran's sister-in-law. David and I both love him. In order to support David's little brother, of course I will come. Jorge, see you next time For this opportunity, you must put me first, otherwise I will be really angry."

"Hahaha! Of course! Of course!"

As Mendes spoke, he glanced at Gu Ran, his look seemed to say: Good boy, you should have told me that you still have this relationship with Victoria!

Gu Ran returned an innocent look: I just realized that I have this kind of relationship with my sister-in-law!
Mendes cleared his throat, "Anyway, Victoria, your coming here really makes this charity dinner brilliant. Please come into the banquet hall. You are here relatively early. Let's go to the banquet first." Sit in the hall for a while, it’s almost time for the other celebrities to arrive.”

"Okay." Victoria took Gu Ran's arm and walked to the banquet hall.

Gu Ran's arms became stiff again.

"Hi, Gu -" Mendes called out to Gu Ran again, "Today you are the protagonist, don't make a sad face, you have to keep smiling, smile."

Gu Ran smiled very reluctantly at Mendes - it was not much better than crying.

Victoria frowned and said: "Jorge, don't force him like this, I will feel bad. Leave him to me, and I will slowly guide him."

Gu Ran: Don't... help me!Sister-in-law, I really can’t smile at you, something will happen!Mendes!Help!
Mendes grinned: "It's all up to you, Victoria."

As soon as the two entered the banquet hall, Old Rice and Sir Adelaide greeted them each with a glass of champagne.

"Ha, look who's here?" Old Les couldn't help but give Gu Ran a strong bear hug.

Gu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, "Mr. Rice, thank you for coming to this... uh, some charity dinner?"

Sir Adelaide next to him said with a smile: "It is an environmental charity dinner held to prevent global warming."

"Oh, yes." Gu Ran smiled and hugged Sir Adelaide.

Mendes didn't tell him what kind of charity this dinner was for, but no matter what kind of charity it was, it was not for charity in essence, it was just a vanity fair for upper-class people to socialize.

It is too easy for the upper class to make too much money, so they should make donations from time to time in order to have peace of mind and occupy a moral territory.

Of course, there are also upper-class people who use donations as business to avoid taxes, and there are also upper-class people who use donations as business.

As for the so-called environmental protection, it is even more ridiculous - the celebrities attending this dinner are definitely big carbon emitters, and none of them are truly environmentally friendly.

But the excuse of environmental protection is really easy to use. In this day and age, whoever uses it is a saint.

Gu Ran doesn't like this kind of hypocritical charity from the bottom of his heart, but how can I put it, people can't help themselves in the world.

This charity dinner is all for Mendes and him. You can't overturn the table like an angry young man and point at these respectable guests and yell at them, right?
Gu Ran cleared his throat and introduced Laisi and Adelaide: "This is Victoria Beckham."

Old Les and Adelaide immediately shook hands with Victoria politely.

"Hot girls need no introduction, who in the whole of England doesn't know hot girls!"

"It's such an honor to see hot girls here."

Gu Ran introduced to Victoria: "This is Mr. Les Reid, who has been very kind to me. I can play professional football in England only because of the help of Mr. Les. He was once a member of Southampton Club." Director of the Football Association and one of the five members of the Football Association, and this is Sir Adelaide, the owner of Haydon Estate."

Victoria smiled and said: "Hello gentlemen, I'm glad to see you two here."

Old Les said happily: "Gu, I really didn't expect that you could join Mendes' Hotifoot. And looking at today's situation, Mendes regards you as the second Cristiano Ronaldo." Promoted.”

Gu Ran said with a bitter look on his face: "Don't mention it, you two probably saw it too, there are Navy fans invited at the door."

Sir Adelaide shrugged. "We didn't see any trolls - we came by helicopter."

Gu Ran: Okay, you guys are awesome...

Old Les patted Gu Ran's shoulder affectionately, "Mendes actually still engages in trolling? Well, if you think about it, it's nothing. Mendes wants to promote you, so he has to support the scene, but I believe that with your ability, it won’t be long before you don’t need the Navy at all.”

Gu Ran sighed, "Thank you for your comfort, Mr. Rice."

Old Laisi asked again with concern: "Gu, you seem a little unhappy today?"

Gu Ran quickly said: "No, no, I'm quite happy."

Victoria next to her said: "He has... physical defects." Old Les:? ? ?What flaw?What's the flaw?

Lord Adelaide:? ? ?Victoria how did you know?Have you tried it?

Gu Ran: ...I thank you, sister-in-law!
Victoria added: "But we should care for him more and try to cheer him up."

Gu Ran covered his face.

At this moment, David Bernstein, chairman of the FA, and Gary Cook, the current CEO of Manchester City, walked over with a smile.

"Hi Gu, how are you?"

Bernstein came up and gave Gu Ran a warm hug.

Gu Ran said quickly: "Hello, Mr. Chairman, it's an honor to see you here."

"Haha, I'm honored too. I watched you with my own eyes, from an amateur to a big star well-known all over England - I didn't fail in every one of your games! "

"Oh, by the way, the person next to me is Mr. Gary Cook, the general manager of Manchester City Club."

Gu Ran quickly shook hands with Gary Cook, "Hello, Mr. Cook."

Although this Gary Cook is not as famous as the general manager Ferran Soriano who will succeed him in the future, he is also an ambitious and ruthless person in the transfer market.

In 08, before the Middle Eastern tycoon Prince Mansour bought Manchester City, Gary Cook wanted to buy the 21-year-old Messi.

At that time, Gary Cook mortgaged everything to raise the transfer amount of 7500 million pounds - this offer was already higher than Zidane's offer at the time, and at that time, Manchester City was already in turmoil and insolvent, but Gary Cook ·Cook is still crazy about pursuing Messi.

Now, after seeing Gu Ran, Gary Cook's eyes lit up and he held Gu Ran's palm tightly with both hands, "Gu, come to our Manchester City! Manchester City needs players like you! Our club has money now. His Royal Highness Prince Mansour of the Middle East is our greatest support! As long as you are willing, no matter what your minimum termination fee is at Southampton, I will pay it without hesitation!"

Old Lester's face suddenly changed!
The minimum termination fee of 5000 million really cannot stop an inhumane club like Manchester City!

Gu Ran said quickly: "Thank you Mr. Cook for your kindness, but... I am quite happy in Southampton now."

Gary Cook immediately said: "No problem, there will always be times when you are unhappy. When you are unhappy, you contact me immediately and I promise to make you happy."

Gu Ran forced out a smile and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cook."

Victoria's eyes lit up next to her.

Doesn't that mean there are flaws in that area?

Isn't that normal?

Okay, Gu, you stinky brother, how dare you play with your sister-in-law...

Victoria opened her mouth, but finally did not interrupt.

Victoria thought she was a big shot here, but as soon as David Bernstein arrived, Victoria's cool aura was reduced by more than half.

Entertainment stars cannot be compared to these influential figures in the sports world.

Especially when people can spend 5000 million pounds to buy someone. This is something that entertainment stars don't even dare to think about.

And these people all came for Gu Ran and fawned over Gu Ran in various ways.

This is much higher than Beckham's salary back then!

Victoria couldn't help but take another look at her bad brother.

After greeting Gu Ran, David Bernstein greeted Old Rice and Sir Adelaide.

Several people were smiling on the outside, but in their hearts they were jealous of each other.

"Guys, we are having such a lively chat~"

A familiar female laughter came from behind. Gu Ran subconsciously looked back and felt his scalp numb again.

I saw Linda Pizzuti, the proprietress of Liverpool, walking towards this side with an energetic 172cm white-haired old man on her arm.

Linda was wearing a fiery red sleeveless evening dress today, with a blinding platinum necklace of emeralds and diamond chains around her neck.

And the old man she was carrying was not her husband Henry, but Sir Kenny Dalglish!

It's the football legend written into the Liverpool team song!Kenny!Dalglish!

Not only was Gu Ran shocked, but Victoria behind Gu Ran even opened her eyes in shock!
Victoria has met a lot of big names since she followed Beckham, but there has never been such a gathering of big names like today!
"Hi, Gu, long time no see." Linda took the initiative to come up, hugged Gu Ran affectionately, touched their faces, and blocked Victoria aside.

Victoria's face suddenly fell.

You know, in terms of fame, Victoria is a first-class presence in the UK, Europe, and the world.

However, in terms of financial resources, celebrities like Victoria are completely worthless in front of the plutocrats.

Linda, who owned the whole of Liverpool, didn't look at Victoria at all.

After Linda greeted Gu Ran face to face, she took Gu Ran's arm very naturally.

Ok……

This feels right, not silicone anymore.

Wait, I'm not targeting you, sister-in-law...

Gu Ran quickly cleared the messy thoughts in his mind, cleared his throat and said: "Hello, Ms. Linda."

Linda giggled and said: "Gu, are you so polite to me? You were not like this when we met in the bathroom! We also texted each other every day and talked about everything. Why did you do it in front of other people? , but you have become shy."

Damn it... Linda, are you afraid that the tabloids will have nothing to write about?
Well, celebrities on this occasion will most likely not provide material for tabloids.

Gu Ran quickly changed the subject, "This must be the legend of Liverpool, Sir Dalglish, right? It's a great honor to see you here!"

Gu Ran shook hands with Dalglish excitedly.

Dalgliesh smiled and said: "Gu, I have seen your little movie, you are really great!"

Gu Ran said bravely: "Sir, you are talking about...have you seen my collection?"

Dalglish shrugged, "Oh, that's right. Anyway, you should come to Liverpool."

Gu Ran quickly said: "Thank you Sir for your appreciation, but I am now a Southampton player."

Dalglish said: "Southampton is not good. Southampton is a garbage club. Southampton has no real soul of the club. Southampton only sells players at high prices. Southampton cannot realize your value."

Old Les next to him frowned, "I said Kenny, I'm still here."

Dalglish raised his eyelids in surprise, "Oh, old Les, my good brother, so you are here too? Hahaha! Let's go fishing together another day? I heard you bought a new yacht? Oh, I like it. Your new yacht—"

Immediately afterwards, Dalgliesh turned around and took Gu Ran's hand, "Gu, remember what I just told you."

Gu Ran: ...

To be honest, Dalglish's arrival really exceeded Gu Ran's expectations.

What was even more unexpected was that after Linda got the news, she also followed Dalgliesh.

Gu Ran now only hopes that Sister NO, the other heroine of "The Sun", will never follow Abu.

By the way, if Abu is so obsessed with it, he shouldn’t come in person, right?
As soon as this idea came to mind, billionaire Abu entered the banquet hall, holding NO sister's hand, surrounded by a group of people.

Sister NO was wearing a blue evening dress today, and the delicate makeup on her face could not hide her unique aura of a strong woman. Even when she was standing next to Abu, Sister NO still had a strong aura.

To be honest, Sister NO is not extremely beautiful, but the charm of a woman is not only about the skin, but also about the bones.

As soon as Sister NO and Abu entered, they attracted the attention of everyone in the banquet hall.

Even Gu Ran couldn't help but take another look at Sister NO.

Sister NO also saw Gu Ran and immediately pulled Abu towards this side.

Gu Ran was numb...

Three women... Vanity Fair is probably going to turn into Shura Fair.

Victoria behind Gu Ran was also shocked and numb.

I thought I had just lost half of my status in front of sports big shots, but when Linda came, I lost another half of my status. Now that Sister NO is here, Victoria doesn't even have a little status anymore.

Being able to stand here is a blessing to Gu Ran.

There was another person who was also shocked and numb, and that was Linda.

Linda also didn't expect that Abu and Sister NO would come to attend this charity dinner in person.

Doing charity must be fake, but Gu Ran who came to rob her is real.

But who is Linda?

Linda was not a master who would give in and let Gu Ran out.

The more she couldn't get, the more motivated Linda became.

Linda raised her eyebrows, twisted her waist and took the initiative to greet her, "Hi, Marina! You are so beautiful today! You are a perfect match for Roman!"

The so-called Roman is Abu.

Abramovich's full name is Roman Arkadyevich Abramovich.

Linda was like this, naturally not to say hello to Abu, but to step on Sister NO's face, secretly scolding Sister NO for being a woman who relied on Abu to reach her position.

Sister NO didn't panic at all, and hugged Linda enthusiastically, cheek to cheek, "Hi, Linda, you are more beautiful today - how is your husband, Henry, in good health?"

On the surface, she was greeting Linda's husband, but in fact, Sister NO was secretly scolding: You, a scheming woman who got your position by marrying a dead old man, are you qualified to compete with me for Gu Ran?
The two strong women were smiling on the outside, but in their hearts they were so confused that they both wanted to kill each other.
