The Young Lion

Aldridge's post-match interview with a hidden smile was widely publicized the next day as Millwall's revenge against Newcastle United next season.

Kevin Keegan naturally sneered, thinking that the veteran team Newcastle United disdain to be compared with Millwall, and Millwall met Millwall twice in the cup. increase awareness.

After entering March, because of the big gap between Millwall and the chasing players on the standings, Aldridge has a leeway in the formation of troops. Under the premise of ensuring that the main lineup plays once a week, there are four players left for the substitute lineup. Up to six workout sessions.

In mid-March, Aldrich returned home from get off work as usual, but at the door of his house, he saw a dazzling crowd of high-end cars in the parking lot.

He sighed helplessly: There is another party at home.

In this luxurious villa, parties will be held every now and then, some of which Arthur invites the old neighbors to come to have a happy gathering;

It's not that Aldridge is withdrawn, it's just that sometimes he drags his tired body back home and just wants to take a comfortable bath and then rest. The sudden attack of the banquet makes him unprepared, and he has to cheer up again.

Before walking home, Aldridge thought to himself: It's time to move out and live alone.

He tidied up his suit, squeezed out a smile and walked into the hall, only to see a sea of ​​people in the living room. Aldridge looked at the handsome men and women in the lobby, and after some observations, he came to the conclusion: today's party is not of the same class. Low.

Not only the clothes of the guests, but also the gentle words and deeds of the male guests and the elegance of the female guests.

It's not like the usual quarrel when Arthur invites the old neighbors over, and even jumps up and down in the villa.

Aldrich grabbed Rose and asked in a low voice, What's today?

Ross pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said seriously: Mr. Hall just made a fortune. He held a banquet at home and invited many business partners, as well as several big shots from Barclays Bank.

The Mr. Hall that Ross refers to is of course Aldridge's elder brother Barnett.

He took a plate at the dining table and picked some food to pad his stomach, and then Aldridge leaned against the stairs with a glass of champagne in his pocket, raising his glass with one hand, admiring the scene at home boredly.

He really didn't expect that Barnett could invite a big shot from Barclays Bank.

Originally, Aldridge didn’t know much about the capitalist world, but because Barclays Bank named the Premier League after the new millennium, he really knew a little bit about the background of Barclays Bank in his previous life. The account introducing Barclays Bank is unforgettable. : The total assets are trillions of pounds!

This he-mother is called a consortium.

Therefore, it is obviously impossible for Barnett to be able to hire people from the Barclays consortium to be represented by a small employee, which is enough to surprise Aldrich.

Occasionally hearing the words from the guests, Aldrich roughly understood what it meant that Barnett had made a fortune.

Not long ago, the financial crisis broke out in Mexico, and Barnett took the opportunity to make a fortune.

Suddenly, the corners of Aldridge's mouth turned up into a beautiful arc.

He saw a familiar stranger.

A woman in a tight black dress wrapped her slender body standing in the distance, dealing with the man who struck up a conversation with her.

Aldrich took a sip of champagne and smiled secretly: the future Mrs. Beckham,

Now it looks like a frightened child.

He didn't know why Victoria appeared at home, he just felt very comfortable looking at Victoria's embarrassing movements.

She's beautiful, isn't she?

I don't know when a young and beautiful woman appeared next to her. She has long flowing dark brown hair and a good figure. It is the kind of protruding and sensual that Aldridge would appreciate very much. She is also wearing a black dress. Look Looks pleasing to the eye.

Aldridge followed the other party's sly gaze, and it turned out to be the Victoria he had been staring at before. He shrugged and said, Yes, she is indeed beautiful.

I complained in my heart: I just don't know if she will still laugh ten years later.

I remember that after she married Beckham, as Beckham became more and more famous, she spent most of her time in public acting cool. The British media ridiculed that Beckham just married a wife who couldn't laugh.

do you like her?

The girl blinked playfully, but Aldrich waved his hands again and again as if frightened: No, no, no, she is a rose with thorns. I like her? Killing me is better than being tortured by her.

Huh? Then why are you staring at her?

Don't you think she looks like a penguin that left the Antarctic now? She doesn't know where to put her hands, and she seems to be afraid of being choked by her own saliva when she speaks. Although her smile is not ugly, it is very funny.

Aldridge talked freely, and he didn't feel that it was out of style to tease others like this.

Oh, I'll tell her what you said.

Eh? You are?

Melanie Chisholm, that's my good sister. Her name is Victoria. She and I are in the same group, the Spice Girls. You probably haven't heard of it. We haven't officially debuted yet.

The embarrassment on Aldrich's face was fleeting. He teased Victoria just now, good guy, but he didn't expect that there was one lurking beside him.

Facing the hand extended by the opponent, Aldridge also stretched out his hand to shake it lightly, and said with a smile: Aldrich Hall, I am a football coach.

Football coach? Uh, seeing how young you are, you should be an ordinary coach. I like Liverpool. I was born in Liverpool. Except for Liverpool games, I don't watch other games. Uh, it's strange. You are just a coach. How can you come here? Are you here for a party?

Melanie Chisholm looked Aldrich up and down and shook her head in bewilderment.

Aldridge shrugged without explaining, and Melanie asked, You knew Victoria before?

do not know.

Then why do you seem so afraid of her?

Afraid? It's a joke. I just know that after she becomes famous, she can do things and trouble people. I don't know other men about this kind of woman. I'm very disgusted.

Melanie's eyes widened with an incredulous expression, and the surprise was even a little cute. She asked, How do you know she will be famous? If she is famous, then I should be famous too. Me and her It's a combination.

Aldridge raised his head without changing his expression: Of course I know, because I come from the future.

Pooh!

Melanie almost burst out laughing, she stared at Aldrich with complaints in her eyes, and said, That's an old-fashioned way of saying it.

Aldrich raised his hand innocently and said, I'm telling the truth.

Hehehehe, alright, Aldrich from the future, if you are from the future, then tell me, what will the weather be like tomorrow?

Aldridge raised his eyebrows and said, It will rain in Manchester tomorrow!

Melanie raised her fists to feign anger and said, I was born in Liverpool, and it often rains three or four times a day in that damn place in Manchester. It seems that you can only deceive children.

After speaking, Melanie lowered her head and smiled, and suddenly felt that the handsome guy beside her was very interesting.

At this moment, the eyes of the guests in the hall were all focused on the stairs, and Aldrich also looked up, and saw Barnett in a suit and leather shoes and several men who were also well-dressed coming down. Smiling, it seems that we had a very pleasant chat upstairs just now.

Melanie looked at those men curiously, but she heard Aldrich muttering to herself in a low voice: I can't see me, I can't see me, I can't see me...

But he happened to be standing on the edge of the stairs. Barnett saw him at a glance, and waved happily: Aldrich, so you are here, come quickly, I will introduce some friends to you.

Aldridge lamented in his heart: My brother, I have no interest in your friends at all, let alone they are all males!

Melanie's eyes widened, not knowing what the origin of the person beside her was.

Aldrich said to Melanie with a wry smile: He is my elder brother, and this is my home.

Aren't you a football coach?

Is there a conflict?

Uh......

Aldridge smiled apologetically, then walked towards Barnett.

After he left, Victoria walked up to Melanie and asked curiously: Who was the man you chatted with just now?

It's that gentleman's younger brother.

Mr Hall?

That's Mr. Hall? No way, isn't the Hall family very rich? Why does Aldridge still work as a football coach? That can't make much money.

Melanie was puzzled. Even a top coach could not earn millions of pounds a year. The Hall family has a big business, and the children of the immediate family are not in business, so they are going to be football coaches?

What an outlier he is!

The Spice Girls are in the preparatory stage for their debut. In the eyes of girls who have just turned 20, this kind of banquet belongs to the upper class. The manager asked them to come just to try their luck and get to know more famous people. Yes. There are advantages and disadvantages to career development, besides, coming here is not selling anything, it's just a normal social interaction.

Aldrich was taken to a secluded place by Barnett, and Barnett happily introduced him: Aldrich, this is Mr. Bishop from Barclays Bank, Mr. Bishop, this is the one I just mentioned Brother, Aldrich.

Hello.

Aldrich shook hands with the other party, and then exchanged simple greetings, and then he remained silent. Bisharp seemed to be in his early forties, polite and gentle, and he observed Aldrich with great interest. , but he couldn't understand what qualities this young man had that Barnett was so full of praise for.

And the Hall family has a lot of investments in Asia. When it comes to things in this area, Aldridge has no choice but to talk casually under the urging of Barnett's eyes.

But Bisharp had a deep impression on him.

The economy of some countries in Southeast Asia continues to overheat, and the economic bubble is inflated. It may not have much impact in the short term, but it will be worrying if it continues to develop. By the way, brother, our family's investment in Southeast Asia, I think it will be ready before the end of next year. All of them were withdrawn, and they should have made a lot of money anyway.”

After hearing this, Barnett immediately asked the assistant behind him to write down the matter in a notepad.

Earn, that is for sure. A few years ago, the real estate market and stock market there were only worth a few dollars. In recent years, the economy has grown, and their investment has already achieved high returns.
