Chapter 159
Shakespeare once said: "It depends on talent to pretend to be stupid.
At the right time, dealing with things in a "pretending to be confused" way can not only avoid hurting the other person, but also protect yourself well.
Arthur understood from the beginning that once he and Ji Li had an affair, Emilia was undoubtedly a hurdle he could not avoid. Of course, he also thought about how to explain it.
So when Emilia wanted an explanation, Arthur gave her an explanation.
"...Dear, this is a hype. To be honest, the only thing I regret is that I didn't discuss it with you in advance. When the club's publicity team came up with this plan, I actually refused when I heard that I would use hype scandals to increase the attention of the Southampton Club, because it will definitely make you unhappy, but now the club is really in big trouble, and I have to cooperate with their plans... "
Arthur was shameless and directly blamed his subordinates. Of course, it was also a technical job to blame him. There was only one who didn't want to blame him.
"..." Emilia on the other end of the phone did not make a sound, but could hear her originally suppressed breathing sound becoming normal.
"The Saints can be said to be in internal and external difficulties. They have dropped to the First Division, and even the number of fans who watch the football on site has severely shrunk. Can you imagine that the Saints' jersey advertisements have not found any sponsors yet?
Even jersey manufacturing sponsors want to end the collaboration, which will undoubtedly make the club's financial situation even more difficult.
The source of income for a club mainly comes from box office on game day, TV broadcasting share, jersey pre-bear advertising and jersey sponsorship. Then, now the Saints fans are reduced, and the stadium cannot even sell half of the tickets on game day, let alone advertising and sponsorship. If you don’t create some gimmicks and gain some attention, you won’t even think about TV broadcasting.
You should also see that in recent times, I have not made any clarification on various reports on me, whether it is praise or slander, in order to maintain the popularity of the topic and to get more attention from the saints.
This time, Jili Hazel was chosen. The club's publicity department hopes to take advantage of her position and attention in the hearts of fans. Her appeal to fans is undoubtedly at the top position, and this is the key.
Sorry, my dear, I'm sorry, really, but if there is any other way, I will use it. Since I spent tens of millions of pounds to buy Southampton Club, I just want to achieve something. I don't want to, and I can't fail!"
Arthur explained with emotion, presenting facts, reasoning, using correct views, scientific principles, typical examples to guide them in a row and persuading manner. If this cannot be passed, then this is all that is the only way.
"...I'm unhappy, very unhappy, I hate this method!" Emilia's somewhat angry words finally came from the other end of the phone.
"call"
Arthur breathed a long sigh of relief, his lips raised, and he said in an apology tone: "I'm sorry, my dear, I don't want to ignore your feelings, but I really don't know how to talk to you. This is really just a hype."
"No matter what, I hope you stay away from her, a woman like her..."
"Dear, what are you thinking? In order to ask her to cooperate with the publicity, we spent a million pounds. It's really just work and nothing else." Arthur could naturally understand Emilia's heart now. After all, in the face of a top-notch like Ji Li, many women will regard her as a huge threat.
"I'll go to London on Monday, and then I'll stay with you for a while. By the way, my dear, I'll make an appointment with the producer of "Boling Manor" of Du Li TV. You and Eddie will accompany me."
"Well, you don't know that when I see the news, I'm so sad that I think..."
"Okay, OK, it's all my fault. I love you." Arthur knew that she couldn't continue to talk about it in a tangled way, otherwise she would become more and more angry as she spoke, so she apologized directly and interrupted her rhythm...
"call"
After hanging up the phone, Arthur sat on the toilet lid and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he settled it. Just as he was about to stand up and leave the bathroom, he heard the message prompt from his cell phone. He frowned and looked at it. Arthur couldn't help but shake his head and laughed again.
"You are indeed not a good person!" Jiang Lai
"I refuse to be a good person, as long as I have a clear conscience, it is enough." Arthur's lips raised and immediately replied. It seems that Jiang Lai has learned about his situation from the media.
"I am written by the media, not the real me. I believe that you will have your own understanding in the two days you have with you."
"Ding"
"My perception is that you are not a good person. You are rational and tell me that I should keep a distance from you. You are too dangerous." Jiang Lai
"You may have misunderstood something. If you saw the scandal report, I can only tell you that this is a hype to attract attention, and I don't need to lie to you." Arthur rolled his eyes in anger.
"Haha." Jiang Lai
Arthur just shook his head and smiled, and finally replied, "I will see you if I have time."
After a while, no new information was sent, Arthur locked his phone, stood up, walked to the bottom of the shower, opened the water valve, and started taking a shower.
"Click"
The bathroom door opened, and Arthur walked out and wiped his long hair with a towel. He walked into the bedroom and saw Ji Li who was still sleeping soundly. He came to the side of the storm to sit down, reached out to stroke her rosy cheeks, then pushed it a few times, shouting: "Dear, wake up..."
"Um?"
Ji Li opened her sleepy eyes and saw Arthur sitting beside her. Zhan Yan smiled and said in a hoarse voice: "What time is it?"
"It's almost six o'clock, get up and wash up, change your clothes, let's have afternoon tea, and then it's time to set off to watch the game at St. Mary's Stadium."
"It's so late, hehe, take me to wash"
"I just finished washing... OK OK, just don't regret it."
"Haha, I'm not afraid of you!"...
Some things are like Pandora's box, once opened, they cannot be closed, and nothing can resist the freshness and always.
Because of some time delay, when Arthur and Ji Li finished their afternoon tea in a hurry and rushed to St. Mary's Stadium, St. Mary's Stadium was already brightly lit, and there were crowds of people outside the stadium, with fans wearing Saints jerseys everywhere. The noise completely broke the tranquility of Southampton.
Arthur and Ji Li passed the safety passage under the escort of the bodyguard and entered the stadium. The two of them first went to the office to change their jerseys. Although the night wind was a little cool, Ji Li still chose a cooler outfit. She cut the collar of the jersey with scissors, grabbed the hem and tied a knot. A somewhat loose jersey was worn by her as if she was a sports vest.
I have to say that although the jersey was modified in a hurry, wearing it on Ji Li showed her figure from various angles, bringing people great visual enjoyment.
"Perfect! Choosing you is definitely the most correct decision I have made!" Arthur exclaimed sincerely.
"Haha, I think so too!" Ji Li raised her eyebrows confidently and smiled. She was very satisfied and confident about her figure.
Arthur smiled and picked up the two windbreakers beside him and said, "It's time for us to show up."
Ji Li nodded with a smile, reached out to tweak her blonde curly hair, took Arthur's arm, and walked out of the office.
In the corridor, the staff at the stadium looked at the boss and Ji Li who were surrounded by them, immediately picked up the intercom, turned around and said, "Note, the boss and Miss Hazel are about to appear, the director is ready..."
"Buzz"
“wemarhon!wemarhon…”
“ohwhenthesaints…”
When Arthur and Ji Li walked into the exit of the stadium, they heard shouts that resounded throughout the audience, accompanied by the Saints' team songs.
The two looked at each other and smiled at each other. Arthur smiled and said, "It seems that your appeal is really great. In just one afternoon, so many fans can choose to enter the stadium."
Ji Li knew that Arthur was complimenting her, but she did not deny it, but instead raised her eyebrows at Arthur charmingly. When she stepped out of the exit, she let go of Arthur's arm and showed a sweet smile on her pretty face. As she appeared in the stands of the stadium, the big screen in the stadium immediately switched to let her appear on the big screen.
"Buzz"
"Ji Li! Ji Li! Ji Li!"
Although the St. Mary's Stadium, which has more than 30,000 seats, was not all full today, the number of people exceeded 25,000, and the shouts were also shocking.
Arthur, who was standing aside, looked at Jili Hazel, who kept waving to all directions and sent out the flying hand, and the shouts and howls of wolves, knowing that he had received the desired effect.
"Pai Pa"
At this time, Arthur's image also appeared on the big screen. However, there was no imagined shouting. Instead, there was an applause from the film to the surface, which soon turned into applause from the audience. Many people stood up and applauded vigorously.
Applause is thunderous!
Arthur was stunned at first, then relieved, and finally became moved. The Saints fans were thanking him for everything they did for the Saints who fell into the abyss, which won the highest respect of the Saints fans all over the audience.
Arthur sincerely sighed that the small football field does have unexpected and intimidating power. These guys are really cute!
Arthur suppressed his inner excitement and emotion, smiled and nodded, then hammered his bear mouth with relief, raised his hand and raised his thumbs up, indicating that he had received their gratitude.
Ji Li also clapped with a sweet smile on her face. Looking at Arthur who was warmly welcomed, she couldn't help but feel moved, and responded calmly and confidently to everyone's gestures. She couldn't help but feel moved in her heart.
Chapter completed!
