Football feast, starting from the acquisition of European clubs

Chapter 184 This Satellite Club Is Not Simple

After finally waiting for Vander Lit to let go, the two parties sat down, the staff brought coffee, and the old man threw another shock bomb.

"Chen, I think you are very pleasing to the eye. I have a granddaughter who is very good. I think you two must be suitable. Or, you can go after my granddaughter, and I will help you tip off the news."

"puff!"

"Cough cough."

"OMG!"

This time, not only Chen Ran, but also Stephen and Louis, who were sitting beside him, were shocked.

The little fat man even sprayed out the coffee he had just put into his mouth.

Didn't Temeow come to talk about the cooperation of satellite clubs?

How did it suddenly become the déjà vu of the blind date corner in Shencheng People's Park?

This old man is here to make trouble, right?
Chen Ran looked at Vander Lit with black lines all over his head.

"Mr. Van der Lit, let's talk about the cooperation between William II Club and Crystal Palace."

"This is not in a hurry."

While waving his hands, Van der Lit took out several photos from his pocket and handed them to Chen Ran.

"Chen, look, this is a photo of my granddaughter Catherine. How is it? Isn't she beautiful?"

"She is not yet 20 years old and is studying classical music at the Spanish National Conservatory."

Although speechless, Chen Ran reluctantly accepted the photo.

"what?"

It's really pretty, a bit like that Spanish star Penelope Cruz.

However, this little girl looks nothing like the old man in front of her.

Thinking of this, Chen Ran looked at Vander Lit suspiciously.

With just one glance, the mature Vander Lit immediately understood what Chen Ran meant.

"Ahem, Catherine looks like her mother."

"Oh, my poor Catherine. My parents left her in a car accident when I was very young. I am already old. If I leave too, who will take care of her in the future."

While talking, Van der Lit even squeezed out a few tears.

After wiping it with the back of his hand, Van der Liet grabbed Chen Ran's hand again.

"Chen, how about you and my Catherine try dating? If you get married in the future, the William II Club will be my wedding gift to you."

What the hell!

Chen Ran really didn't know what words to use to describe his mood at the moment.

This old man has played too much.

From the minute he appeared, he was the absolute protagonist of the audience.

The emotions are full and rich, and it would be a shame not to develop in Hollywood.

"Ahem, Mr. Vanderlit, I'm very sorry, I already have a girlfriend."

"Girlfriend? It doesn't matter, maybe we will break up soon. Chen, think about it, although my Willem II club can't compare with your Crystal Palace, it is still a Dutch team after all. It is very important to your career." It’s still helpful to some extent. Do you think about it again?”

After all, without waiting for Chen Ran to refuse, Vander Litt got up and left.

He said that there were other things to deal with, and he would come to visit again in two days, hoping to become a family by then, and then he simply left.

Come as soon as you say, leave as soon as you say, act vigorously and resolutely, he is really an old man like the wind.

In the office, only Chen Ran, Stephen and the little fat man were left staring at each other.

"Didn't this Van der Lit come to talk about the satellite club? Why did he leave without saying a word?"

The little fat man scratched his head, a little confused.

"Actually, he's already talked about it."

Stephen replied to the little fat man lightly, and reached out to pick up the photo of his granddaughter named Catherine that Vander Lit left behind.

"It's really pretty. Chen, it's not inferior to your Cheryl at all."

Even Stephen, who was more mature and stable, couldn't help sighing after seeing the photos.

"Really? Show me!"

Hearing Stephen's comment, Louis hurried over.

"Tsk tsk, so beautiful, pure and glamorous. Chen, you are blessed."

The little fat man looked at Chen Ran with a mean smile on his face.

"Ahem, that's enough for the two of you, be serious."

Chen Ran reached out and grabbed the photo and put it away.

"Do you think it's normal for Mr. Van der Lit's behavior?"

Hearing Chen Ran's question, Stephen and the little fat man were also taken aback.

Yes, is there such a talk about cooperation?
Too outrageous, right?
"Chen, is there a possibility that this Mr. Van der Lit actually wants to choose a reliable boyfriend for his granddaughter, and the matter of the satellite club is just handled incidentally."

Stephen bowed his head and thought for a while, and said his guess.

"Yes, Stephen is right. Don't there often be similar plots in novels and movies?"

Hearing Stephen's judgment, the little fat man also became excited, and now there is a good show to watch.

"Does this mean that if I refuse to associate with that Miss Catherine, then our cooperation with the William II Club will not be able to continue?"

Chen Ran frowned and expressed his worry.

"Not necessarily. I think that Mr. Van Der Litt is a very shrewd man, the kind of person who doesn't discriminate between public and private."

Stephen shook his head. Although the contact time was very short, Van der Lit left him an extremely deep impression.

Moreover, he seemed to have seen this Van der Litt before.

But that was when he was little, before he and his mother left his cheap daddy's estate.

Forget it, it doesn't matter anymore, anyway, it is impossible for him to ask his father whom he hasn't seen for a long time.

"Chen, are you really going to reject that white-bearded old man's proposal?"

The little fat man held back for a while, and finally couldn't help asking.

Because Van der Litt's conditions are really tempting.

A big beauty, plus a football club.

As long as Chen Ran nods, it's all his.

Although the situation of this club is a bit not good, it is worth a lot of money.

Why do such good things always fail to turn to me?

The little fat man almost drooled enviously.

"Otherwise? The relationship between Cheryl and I is very stable, and we have no plans to break up."

Chen Ran glared at the little fat man angrily, this guy is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

"Actually, you can be like Stephen's father"

Halfway through, the little fat man saw Stephen's face turn black, and shut up quickly.

"Okay, this matter ends here. If the William II Club cancels our cooperation with us because I reject Mr. Van der Lit's proposal, then we will find another satellite club."

"Stephen, I will leave this matter to you."

"Okay, Chen, if there is nothing else, I will go to work first."

After that, Stephen left Chen Ran's office straight away, ignoring the little fat man.

As soon as Stephen walked away, Chen Ran gave the little fat man a hard look.

"Let you talk nonsense, don't you know what Stephen hates his father the most?"

"It was me who was wrong."

The little fat man also knew that he was mean, so he took the initiative to admit his mistakes with his head down, and was scolded honestly.

"Then you come back and find Stephen to apologize yourself, understand?"

"understood."

At this time, Vander Lit, who was being discussed by Chen Ran and the others, got into a Rolls-Royce car waiting outside the Crystal Palace Club.

"Why did you come out so soon?"

There was also an old man in the car, who was reading a magazine while drinking red wine.

If Stephen saw it, he would be shocked.The old man in the car is his cheap father, the famous British Marquess of Bath, who has 74 mistresses.

"Just finish the matter. After all, you still have to give that kid time to think about it. Alexander, bring me a glass of red wine too."

"Come on, have you forgotten your physical condition? You have liver cancer and still dare to drink? I have to go to the King's College Hospital for a physical examination in a while, so be honest with me."

The Marquis of Bass slapped away Van der Litt's hand reaching for the wine bottle, but he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

"What else is there to check? After so many checks before, it has been diagnosed as advanced liver cancer, and the liver cancer can be found out again."

"Since you know this is the case, why are you still unwilling to undergo surgery? King's College Hospital in London is world-class in the treatment of liver cancer."

"It's not that you haven't heard Dr. West's words. The operation has little hope of success. If it fails, I may go to see God on the spot. It's not as good as it is now, at least I can finish what I want to do .”

"Hey, old man, if you leave too, I'll be the only one of our old playmates."

As he spoke, the Marquis of Bath also became depressed, as if he was the one who had cancer.

"What are you doing like this? I'm not dead yet? Let me tell you, I don't have much time left, so don't make me angry, or I will beat you up like I did back then."

Van der Lit slapped the Marquis of Bath on the shoulder with great strength, not like a patient at all.

"understood."

The Marquis of Bath rubbed his aching shoulder, secretly slandering him.

Is there something wrong with the results of Dr. West's examination? Can the patient be so energetic?
"How did you go to see that little guy from Huaguo? Did he agree to your proposal?"

"No, he said he already has a girlfriend."

"Oh? Don't agree to such a good condition? This kid is a bit interesting."

"The more this is the case, the more interested I am in him. I left the photo of Catherine. With the conditions of my precious granddaughter, I don't believe that he is not interested."

"If you want me to say, if that little guy from Huaguo still disagrees in the end, you might as well introduce Catherine to my Stephen. I promise I won't treat her badly."

"Go away! Don't even think about it! Stephen is your son, and Catherine is my granddaughter. They are so inferior, don't even think about it."

"But Stephen and that little guy from Huaguo are classmates, and they are about the same age. Besides, with the friendship between us, wouldn't it be better to get closer?"

"Alexander, I warn you, hurry up and get rid of this idea. I don't want your bad and chaotic life to affect the happiness of my precious granddaughter, otherwise I will break up with you!"

Probably worried that the power of words was not enough, Van der Litt waved his fist.

"Cut! Who doesn't know who? I was led astray by you back then, and you still have the face to criticize me?"

The Marquis of Bath looked at Van der Lit with a look of disdain. This guy is best at pretending to be a good person.

"Ahem, I've changed my ways a long time ago. Anyway, there's no need to discuss this matter."

"Understood. It seems that you have identified that little guy Chen Ran?"

"That's right, didn't you also say that this kid is good? And I found a private detective to follow him for more than half a year, and I didn't find anything messy. This is very rare among young people nowadays."

"This is indeed true. Since you asked me about his situation, I have also learned from the side. This Chen Ran can be said to have brought Crystal Palace from a British Championship team to a Premier League team on his own. The champion is really strong."

"That's why I chose him to be my grandson-in-law. I have noticed him since he led Crystal Palace to the Premier League championship. He is capable and not messy. I can trust Catherine to him. .”

"You know the situation of Catherine. She lost her parents since she was a child, which made her autistic. Apart from music, she has no interest in other things. What will happen to her if I'm gone?"

"Okay, I see. I will help with Catherine's matter. I will be at the King's College Hospital in a while, and you will accept Dr. West's examination honestly."

On Chen Ran's side, he didn't know that the matter of a simple satellite club would become so complicated.

There is still a Premier League game to be played at the weekend, and he can only put the matter of satellite clubs aside for now.

Fortunately, Crystal Palace has now formed a well-functioning system, and Chen Ran only needs to be responsible for giving orders.The rest will naturally be carried out by assistants.

On January 1, in the No.21 third round of the Premier League, Crystal Palace beat West Bromwich Albion 20-3 away with the goals of Tony, Jan Kohler and Yaya Toure.

While scoring three points, Chen Ran also received a first-level Harvest Card rewarded by the system.

In this round of a strong dialogue, there was only one difference before, the two old rivals who were biting together, Manchester United beat Liverpool 1:0 at Old Trafford.

The other two strong teams, Chelsea beat Charlton 1:0 at home, and Arsenal lost 0:1 to Everton in an away game.

After the No.20 three rounds of the Premier League, Crystal Palace topped the standings with 21 wins, two draws and 65 points.

Chelsea are second with 58 points, Manchester United are third with 48 points and Liverpool are fourth with 44 points.

And Arsenal ranked sixth with only 37 points, even being crushed by his city rival Tottenham Hotspur.

Starting next week, the FA Cup, the Premier League, and the UEFA Champions League will be on the stage one after another. Chen Ran will also enter into high-intensity work again.

At this time, the Marquis of Bath, who hadn't contacted for a long time, called Stephen.

"Stephen, come back to the manor these two days, I have something to tell you."
