Chapter 59 Welcome back (Part 2)

"Mr. Tang En, what's the fragrance?"

"Tea...and..." Feeling Sophia's tilting her head to look at her, Tang En quietly choked up his Adam's apple before muttering, "I mean, nothing..."

The room was dimly lights and the beauty was petite and beautiful. Tang En lowered his head in concealment, trying his best to suppress some indescribable impulse. No wonder Collimore would show his kindness to Sophia in public at all costs. Her natural charm is indeed enough to upside down all living beings...

"Mr. Tangen?"

"Um?"

"What are you looking at?" Sophia asked Donn with a smile.

"I'm...well, I'm enjoying an oil painting."

"painting?"

"Yes...Mona Lisa's smile..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sophia suddenly turned red and lowered her head shyly.

Ah! Damn it! This is simply ambiguous... Tang En cursed in his heart. He was not going to say this, but when he saw Sophia, he couldn't control his tongue. Wood, Wood, if you don't come back, I'll just... I'll just!

The door opened downstairs.

Tang En was in the battle between heaven and man and heaven breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the chair. God! His back was wet!

With the sound of rapid footsteps, Wood appeared at the door of the room, and then he was stunned when he saw Don Eun sitting at the dining table.

Sophia went up to meet her, took the bag from her son, and asked with concern: "Where have you been, George? Why did it take more than an hour... Oh!" She frowned, and a strong smell of alcohol was emitted from Wood. "You have drunk, George?" Her tone became stern.

Hearing Sophia say this, Don Eun turned his head and stared at Wood carefully. There were no scratches on his face, and his eyes moved from top to bottom. He finally saw a black mark at the bend of Wood's pants' knee. Although it had been repeatedly slapped by the owner of the pants, Don Eun was still sure that it was a shoe print.

"No, mom." Wood shook his head.

Sophia didn't mean to let Wood go, she fanned her hands: "Then what's wrong with the smell of alcohol on you?"

"When I came back, I passed by bar street and ran into a few alcoholics. They were a little difficult, so it took some time." Wood tried hard to make himself look nothing.

"Open your mouth, George." Sophia signaled Wood to open her mouth. Exhale.

Wood did as he did. Sophia leaned over to her son's mouth, raised her nose and sucked hard. Then she rubbed her gently on Wood's cheek: "Go and wash your face, look, your face is full of sweat. Mr. Tang En came to find you specifically and had been waiting for you for a long time."

Wood glanced at Tang En, then obediently went to the bathroom.

Sophia smiled apologetically at Tang En. Tang En shrugged his shoulders to express his understanding. The question in his heart was already confirmed. Now it’s time to say goodbye. So he stood up and said to Sophia: "I’m so sorry, madam. I think I should go back. It’s getting late."

Hearing Tang En say this, Sophia did not hide her disappointment, and the smile on her face disappeared. Of course, she knew that Tang En's request was normal, and she had no reason to leave a man at home at nearly eleven o'clock.

"What a pity, Mr. Tang En." Sophia sighed. She pointed to the original black tea and biscuits on the table. "You haven't eaten yet."

In fact...if Wood hadn't come back, maybe Tang En wouldn't leave tonight. He saw Sophia's sudden lonely face and lost her glorious face, and comforted her: "Madam. I think... there will be more opportunities like this in the future."

Hearing Tang En say this, Sophia raised her head happily and looked radiant.

At this time, Wood walked out of the bathroom, frowned slightly, and then leaned against the door and looked at the two people standing in the middle of the house, saying nothing.

When Tang En saw him coming out, he quickly looked away from Sophia's face and waved to him: "George. I'm leaving, aren't you coming to see me off?"

Standing outside the house, Donn waited for Randy to pick him up while chatting with Wood casually. He knew that Sophia must be watching them in front of the upstairs window. Wood didn't want his mother to worry too much, Donnn was the same.

"George, I have a message to tell you." Tang En decided to test it first to confirm his inner guess. "The bastard who touched your mother that day was just beaten by someone. Do you know who did it?" When he said this, Tang En stared at Wood intently, hoping to see some clues.

But he was disappointed. Wood didn't even blink his eyes.

"I don't know." There was no emotional fluctuation in the voice.

This kid!

But you are so calm that you don’t feel as if you first heard this news.  You are still young to play with me.

Tang En's entire question was eliminated, but he didn't say it out loud, just smiled and nodded: "Very good, I'm still worried that you did it, it's not good."

The street in front of me was illuminated by two beams of lights. Don En knew that Randy driver was coming. He was going to say goodbye to Wood, but suddenly remembered something, "Oh, and... well, I think, if there was no accident, maybe from tomorrow, I can't train with you every day, and I will no longer direct you to the competition."

Hearing Done say this, Wood turned around and looked at him. “Are you leaving?”

"Yes, let's go." Tang En suddenly wanted to tease this rigid child, and he nodded.

“Where to go?”

"South.  "

“Is it very far?”

"I think it's..." Seeing that this still did not show any reluctance to bear the child, Tang En was a little disappointed... Isn't there just a teacher-student friendship?

Wood was silent for a while, then turned his back to Don En and said, "Oh, goodbye."

This bastard!

Tang En decided not to continue playing, and he waved and shouted, "Wait! Forget it... I lied to you, in fact, I was going to the south, but it was only five meters away from your training base in the youth team - the width of an alley!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wood turned around suddenly. He glared at Tang En, his eyes definitely not about joy, but...the anger after being deceived.

Facing the child's eyes, Tang En didn't know how to explain his tricks on his whim. He had to continue with a little embarrassment: "Well, if everything goes well, I will be the head coach of the Forest's first team from tomorrow. I will have to leave the youth team at that time, but you will continue to train and compete in the youth team."

Randy, not far away, honked Donn.

"I have to leave. George. I hope you can continue to listen to Mr. Chris Lark and other coaches, train and compete carefully. You are doing very well now. We all think that if you can continue like this, it is not a problem to earn 120,000 pounds a week!" Tang En knew that if he wanted to arouse this kid's fighting spirit, honor, and love would not work. It's just one keyword - money!

"Do it well, boy! I will always pay attention to the youth team. If you perform well there, I will mention you to the first team and sign a completely different contract at that time... Do you know how much weekly salary you will get at least?"

Wood shook his head.

Tang En thought about it, the club's financial situation improved, and the players' salary level would also increase accordingly. If Wood really continues to perform well in the youth team, then signing into the adult team will not be less than 1,500 pounds. So he said to Wood: "At least 1,500 pounds, every week! Other bonuses are not included!"

The expression on Wood's face finally changed a little again, and he seemed very satisfied. Donne was also satisfied with Wood's performance. So he smiled and waved to him: "Work hard! Remember, George, no matter where you perform, the more money you can get!"

He turned around and returned to the car, closed the door, and the taxi drove away quickly. Wood stood outside the door for a while before returning.

When Sophia saw Wood come back, she asked, "George. What are you talking about?"

Wood opened his mouth slightly and showed a rare smile: "Money. Mom, we will have money soon."

Sophia reached out her hand to caress her son's hair, "Little fool. George, you have to listen to Mr. Tang En, he is a very good person." When she said this, Sophia looked at the dark street outside the window, and Tang En's car had already left.

Wood escaped from his mother's caress. He looked at her and suddenly asked, "Mom. Do you like him?"

When Sophia heard her son say this, she panicked. She suddenly withdrew her gaze from the window, looked at Wood, and moved away. "Ah, no, no, impossible! How... how is it possible?" She desperately dodged her gaze from her son.

Hearing his mother's answer and looking at her reaction, Wood said nothing. He just continued to look at her mother, silent as if he could see through everything.

Sophia coughed, raised her face and said to him, "Okay, George, it's time for you to go to bed."

"Good night, mom." Wood kissed Sophia on the face.

"Good night, George." Sophia kissed her forehead back.

Wood returned to his own room, closed the door, the lights turned on and off.

Sophia sat back at the dining table, supported her one hand on the table, supported her chin, staring blankly at the cup of cold black tea and the unmoved biscuits. Thinking of the moment when she and Tang En were alone just now, time no longer has meaning. Everything seemed to be solidified around her, and then put into a photo frame and kept in her heart.

She sighed softly and put away the cup and plate on the table.

As she turned around, the door of Wood's room was gently closed.

"...They have six people! Six strong rugby players! I don't know where they came from. I didn't know them before. Just when I was about to leave, they attacked me in an alley! It was a sneak attack, a sneak attack! Otherwise I wouldn't lose to them at all. Who do you think I am? I am Stan Collimore!"

"Hahahaha!" Don and Evan couldn't help laughing at the TV.

Collimore, who was lying on the hospital bed and was interviewed by a TV station, spitting everywhere, and he was talking vividly about his bravery of "one to six". Knowing the inside story, Tang En bent over and smiled. As for why Evan laughed so happily, it was because of another thing.

Now the programs they see on TV are just news, and the videos played in the news are generally not live. So the unlucky guy who shouted "I am Stan Collimore" at this moment can no longer be so excited when he was interviewed.

The reason is very simple. He was already announced to be terminated by Nottingham Forest Club in the morning.

No one expressed surprise or confusion about this and protested. When the team's performance was so bad, Collimore had a scandal of being beaten in the bar. Who wouldn't fire him if he didn't fire? Although Evan Dogerty was inevitably criticized for "decision-making mistakes",... Does anyone think that this chairman who controls 75% of the club's shares would transfer the stocks in his hands because he found the wrong coach and resigned?

Stan Collimore ended his half-season coaching career with a failure on his head. This experience will always remain in his heart, regardless of whether he will regain the coach's seal in the future.

As for Collimore's successor, there is almost no suspense.

Is there anyone more suitable for him at this moment?

"The time is about the same, Tony. Let's go." Evan Doggetty looked at the watch on her wrist.

"Yeah." Tang En nodded.

The two stood up and pushed open the door of the chairman's office, and Miss Barbara Lucy was already waiting for them outside the door.

Downstairs, the dark red Audi A6 was quietly parked by the door. The driver sat down and stood on standby. The door was already open.

The car's destination is the city court, where dozens of media reporters are waiting for a press conference.

Outside the court, a small group of fans gathered, led by a fat man. They wore red forest team jerseys and dressed themselves up as if they were going to watch the game. In front of the long guns and short cannons, singing songs as if no one was around. The fans who attracted the attention of the reporter held up a large cartoon portrait with the avatar underneath:
