Heroes of the Restricted Zone

Chapter 417 Tonight's Star (Second Update, Monthly Pass!)

Aurelio De Laurentiis walked onto the temporary rostrum under the shadow of the lights.

Whenever De Laurentiis appeared in front of everyone, he was always well-dressed and his hair combed meticulously. He was a person who paid great attention to his own image.

He walked up to the microphone, scanned the audience with a smile on his face, full of aura.

"I am very glad that you can come to this dinner. On behalf of the Naples club, I would like to thank you for your contributions in the past year." This opening statement is very common.

"This year may be the best year for our development momentum, but I hope we can have even better results next year. I know this requires all of us to work together..." After saying a few words, in Italian football De Laurentiis, who is famous for his big mouth, finally didn't hold back. "Next, let's talk about current affairs. After the first qualifying in the group, I said that I will always enjoy this wonderful feeling until the result of the draw. It is not that after the result of the draw, I will not continue to enjoy it. I'm actually very happy with the result of the draw."

"I think I can start to look forward to two very good games, you say..." He raised his hands and shouted: "Isn't it!"

"That's right—"

"Yes, boss!"

"Oh oh oh oh-"

The players roared and howled.

But what made them roar even more joyfully was yet to come.

De Laurentiis waited for the shouts to fade away, and continued: "Every player will receive a gift from me and the club in a while. It is a piece of parchment, and the number on the parchment is the team's goal of reaching the top [-] of the Champions League. The bonus amount will be credited during the Christmas holiday.”

Sure enough, the cheers grew louder.Professional players, professional players, what is it that works so hard and so dedicatedly on the field?Money is their biggest motivation...

De Laurentiis did not speak at length on stage like China's leaders did, spitting all over the place for an hour.

His speech was very brief and set the tone.

He stepped off the stage to the cheers of the players.

Then it was Mazari's turn to take the stage.

What he brought was an awards ceremony.

The "Favorite Naples Player of 2009" voted by Naples fans, the player who wins this award can get an exquisite trophy.

The final winner was the team's midfield core, Hamsik, who received a whopping 60.00% of the votes.

Although Chen Yingxiong was the team's top scorer last season and the league's top scorer, scoring a total of 2009 goals in various official competitions throughout 36, he is not the most popular in the eyes of fans player, his vote rate was only a pitiful [-]%.

But this is also normal. The player who can score the most goals in a team may not be the most popular and favorite player among fans.Just as the captain of a team does not necessarily have to be the team's biggest star, the leader of a team's locker room does not necessarily have to be the captain of the team.

Hamsik took the stage to accept the award amid applause and whistles from his teammates, before delivering a short thank you speech.In fact, everyone has known this result for a long time, and it is not surprising at all.Hamsik has also won this award for two consecutive years.

"I am very grateful to be able to play in Naples and to be able to fight side by side with so many excellent teammates. I hope we can still celebrate Christmas together this time next year... Brothers, I love you!" Finally, he held up his hands Arm shouted.

"Oh oh oh oh——" There was a burst of booing whistles and cheers from the audience.

Chen Yingxiong cupped his hands to his lips, booing hard.

He doesn't have any jealousy. Hamsik's popularity and status among Naples fans are very high. This is a fact that everyone knows.Hamsik's selection as the most popular player among Naples fans is well deserved.

At the same time, his low vote rate also made him understand how difficult the task of "conquering Naples" is.

However, people always look at the positive side.At least now in this city, [-]% of the fans support him and like him.

After Hamsik came down, Mazari announced that the banquet had officially started, and everyone could finally sit down and enjoy a delicious meal.

Because it is a family banquet, everyone sits with their female companions.

Christine Cabrera sat beside Chen Yingxiong, looking very quiet.She didn't chat with other girls, and she didn't flirt with other men like a courtesan.

Although she changed her attire, she remained quiet and vigilant like a bodyguard.

This instead made her stand out among all the women, always attracting the attention of other men.Even if there are girlfriends and wives around, some men can't help casting curious eyes on this mysterious woman.

For example, Cassano... just because he was fascinated by watching, he was ignored by his girlfriend Carolina, and ignored him no matter how much he talked to him, which made Cassano feel embarrassed and helpless.

However, he was embarrassed and helpless, while Chen Yingxiong smiled happily-you made me laugh at me before, now it's my turn to see your joke!a ha ha ha!

When the dinner was more than halfway through, it ushered in a climax.

Ma Qiao jumped onto the stage, unscrewed the microphone, and knocked on it. There was a piercing metallic whistling sound in the banquet hall, causing the people who were dining and chatting to turn their heads and glared at Ma Qiao.

Ma Qiao quickly piled up a smiling face: "Sorry to bother everyone. Now we have a show, and every man and beautiful lady will receive a ballot. Please write on it what you think this banquet is the most eye-catching The star! Men can only choose women, and women can only choose men. If you don’t know the name, you can just write "who and who's partner"" This is also for the convenience of everyone, and not everyone knows the name of the teammate's female partner. of. "The men and women with the most votes will be invited to the stage, and they must grant everyone one wish and win a mystery prize! So ladies and gentlemen! Be brave enough to put whoever you think is the best on the ballot! Don't worry about the murderous eyes of your partner!"

The people present burst into laughter.

"Of course, if you really have concerns, you can pay attention to covering your votes. Please rest assured that we are voting anonymously, and we absolutely don't have to worry about being retaliated when we go home!"

Everyone laughed again.

"Can I choose my girlfriend!" Cassano raised his hand, taking the opportunity to please his girlfriend Carolina who had been fighting with him since just now. "She is the most beautiful in my heart!"

Carolina, who was sitting next to her, finally showed a smile on her always cold face, obviously very happy with Cassano's sweet talk.

"Of course, Antonio. We all understand!" Marjorie winked at him from the stage.Many people have seen the scene where Cassano made his girlfriend angry because he peeked at Cabrera just now.

Amidst the laughter of the crowd, the staff of the restaurant began to hand out votes to the players, staff and their female companions table by table. It was just a blank sheet of paper.

Everyone has to write down what they think is the most brilliant celebrity at the banquet today, men choose women, and women choose men.

This can be regarded as a side show.After all, eating and chatting is so boring, you have to play interactive games to be interesting.

After getting the ballots, some people stood up from their seats and looked around, looking for the most dazzling star figure they thought.

Others obviously already had the answer, and leaned over to write it as soon as they got the ballots.

There are some scenes of laughter and slapstick mixed in, so it goes without saying.

※ ※ ※

When Chen Yingxiong got the ballot, Cabrera also got it. She asked Chen Yingxiong: "Whose name should I fill in?"

When she turned her head, Chen Yingxiong who was next to him was taken aback. He quickly blocked his ballot with his arm - he thought Cabrera was going to peek at whose name he had written.

"How do I know whose name you want to fill in?" Chen Yingxiong felt that Cabrera's question was too strange.

"I'm not familiar with them..." Cabrera lowered her voice and whispered in Chen Yingxiong's ear.As she exhaled like blue, the fragrant smell entered Chen Yingxiong's nostrils, making him itchy... want to sneeze.

Chen Yingxiong was afraid that if he went on like this, he would really lose control, so he shrugged his shoulders, pushed Cabrera away a little, and said: "Then you can write whatever you want!"

※ ※ ※

After everyone filled out the ballot papers, a staff member held the ballot box and collected the ballots from table to table.

After everyone's votes have been collected, there will be a special person to count the votes, and the others will continue to eat, drink and chat, what to do.And no one will worry about favoritism and fraud - there is really no need for this thing to engage in favoritism...

But in fact, many people are concerned about this result.Some people ran to ask their friends: "Hey, who did you choose?" Such questions.

This also seems to be an opportunity for comparison.

The wives and girlfriends of the stars are all beauties, some of them are even well-known stars. For them, the dinner party is an opportunity to show their charm, so everyone has been carefully dressed, wearing their best dresses, wearing Bright jewelry, come to the dinner party, expect to be able to compare with other women.

It's quite normal, it's because individuals have the desire to compare themselves, but everyone compares things differently, some compare academic performance, some compare money, some compare beauty, and some compare taste... And women, the comparison heart is a little bit It's just a little heavier.

Of course, everyone still has to do their best to save face. Comparisons are comparisons. When you meet each other, you can get as close as you can when you get together to chat.

The counting of votes is finally over.

When Ma Qiao took the stage again, the lights on the scene went out, leaving only a bunch of lampposts above the rostrum hitting him.

He was holding an envelope with a smile, and it seemed that the answer was in the envelope.

Ma Qiao really made the appearance very well, just like a Hollywood awards ceremony.But he did not directly announce the list of winners. Instead, he re-invited the club chairman De Laurentiis to be the guest of honor for the prize draw. Man, this kind of method similar to the movie awards ceremony is really suitable for him to come out to draw the prize.

De Laurentiis readily agreed, and went crazy with the boys.

He walked onto the stage in a dress, took the envelope from Marjorie, and said into the microphone: "I assure you, I haven't seen what's inside, I just knew I would be called up for the lottery. So you have absolutely no worries that we are... UEFA."

"Hahahaha!" All the men present couldn't help laughing out loud, feeling sincere admiration for the boss's humor.At this time, I still don't forget to ridicule UEFA, which is very difficult to deal with Naples.

After joking and enlivening the atmosphere, De Laurentiis began to open the envelope, and said while opening the envelope, "Actually, I'm also curious, who is the most dazzling couple tonight..."

While speaking, the envelope was opened.

The scene also fell silent, and everyone was waiting for the answer to be revealed.

De Laurentiis glanced at the results on the letterhead and smiled.

Then he folded the letterhead and put it in his pocket.

Then he leaned in front of the microphone: "Actually, there is no suspense in this answer, at least I think so. The star character tonight is..."

He lengthened his voice, and with his voice, the lights wandered around in the dimly lit venue, waiting for the moment to freeze.

"The hero and his companion!"

As his voice settled down, the lights also gathered on Chen Yingxiong and Cabrera next to him.

There were huge cheers, whistles and applause.
