Chapter 35 Goodbye Yiren

The Nottingham Evening Post on the second day of the game had a large photo on page nine (sports) which took up half of the page.The photo was taken from the opposite side of the coach's bench. Under the red stands, Tang En raised his arms and shouted.Here's him celebrating his third goal.

Tang En looked at this photo repeatedly while eating a simple breakfast.I have to admit that this photo is well taken, and the angle and timing are just right.Of course, the best point is that the protagonist of this photo is obviously head coach Tony Twain.

The accompanying text under the photo reads: "When David Johnson scored the winning goal, under the cheering fans, Tony Twain raised his arms in celebration."

Tang En, who liked it more and more, decided to call the newspaper office to find the person who took the photo, and then paid for a huge one, framed it and hung it in the house.This is your own glorious moment, which must be cherished forever.

So he found the phone number of the Evening Post newspaper from the newspaper.

The day after every game day is always the busiest day for British newspapers, people are running in and out, busy compiling the latest news into news, or sending the typeset newspaper to the printing plant, and the phone is always ringing. The newspaper building was buzzing.

"Hello, this is the Nottingham Evening Post..." the pretty receptionist said politely into the microphone, and the professional smile on her face disappeared two seconds later.

Tang En on the other end of the phone felt strange, he just wanted to know the contact information of the person who took this photo, and then asked him for an enlarged version.Why did he have to transfer his phone to the president's office?
He heard a slight cough from the phone, and then an old man's voice.

"Mr. Dunn, hello, I'm Larry Lawrence, the president of Nottingham Evening Post, you can call me Larry."

"You can also call me Tony, Mr. Larry..."

Next, Tang En told Larry Lawrence about his request, and Lawrence agreed without hesitation. The photos were taken by a photographer from their newspaper office. It would not be a problem to have ten photos, let alone one that was enlarged.But Lawrence made a condition.

"Interview me?" Tang En was a little surprised. He didn't expect the media to come to him so soon.But he never thought of refusing, this is a good opportunity to promote himself.Tang En is not afraid of being famous. If he wants to become a famous coach, the influence of the media cannot be ignored.But the timing is bad now. The team has just won a victory, which doesn't mean the situation is stable. He still has many problems to solve.Where does he have time for interviews these days?
"Larry, I'm afraid not now."

"Any trouble, Tony?"

From the conversation between these two people, you don't feel at all that they just talked on the phone for less than 5 minutes.

"I still have a lot of work to do, and I don't think I'll be able to do an interview with you at this time. Although I hope to do this kind of interview..."

"I understand you."

"So...if you can wait a while, I'd love to be interviewed by you."

Lawrence immediately agreed with Tang En's proposal: "That's no problem. We'll send you the photos you want in two days. You can just remember the interview. When you think it's ok, you can contact us anytime. Tony."

After hanging up the phone, Tang En felt complacent.I didn't expect to be favored by the media so soon, which is a good sign.Explain that as long as you win the ball, everything will be fine.At present, my goal is to strive to keep the team in this state, and at the same time solve the problems exposed in yesterday's game in training.

But one thing is certain: he must stick to his victory-only thinking, and let the players really feel it.A team in which everything from the head coach to the players is in pursuit of victory at any cost will be invincible.

Tang En, who got the photos done, was in a very good mood. Anyway, he didn't practice today.According to the usual practice, there must be a day off after the game to allow the players to rest and relax.Of course, if they lose by a big score, Twain will also cancel this holiday and let the team repent during the intensive training.

He decided to go out for a walk. He had been in a busy and tense environment during this time, and it was time to relax.

Nottingham has a top-ranked university in the UK, the University of Nottingham (Nottingham`University), which also has a cooperative branch in Ningbo, China.Therefore, many Chinese students come here every year to study and further their studies. On the streets of Nottingham, you can always see yellow-skinned, black-haired Chinese-speaking Chinese students.

But Tang En didn't know if there were any Chinese in the stands of the city stadium.

Whenever there was a holiday, even if it was only half a day, Tang En would never stay at his home, and never slept in.This is what he thought: he finally had an opportunity to "travel abroad for free", and if he didn't make good use of it to look around and appreciate the exotic customs, he would really feel sorry for the God who let him travel through time.Of course, for Tang En himself, to experience the most authentic and best British style, he still has to go to those various bars. He believes that the greatest invention of human beings is winemaking, the greatest profession is the brewer, and the greatest building is the bar. , the greatest glassware is the wine bottle... the other greatest please follow.

If you think that Dunn will go to the bar to spend the rest of his time today, then you are totally wrong.It was only past nine o'clock in the morning, and the pubs in the whole of England were closed, so he couldn't go there even if he wanted to.

He has always heard that the University of Nottingham has beautiful scenery, so he decided to go around the university campus, maybe he could meet beautiful foreign students from China, and then develop a beautiful foreign relationship...

Tang En didn't call the taxi driver Randy James who he was already familiar with. He decided to experience Nottingham's public transportation system.

The city of Nottingham is actually quite small, which is also a common feature of British cities. Except for international metropolises like London, most cities in China may only be the size of a county-level city, maybe not as good as...

Tang En realized this when he led the team to Coventry to play a game. One of the four major cities in England was about the size of a county.So is Nottingham.After [-] minutes of swaying by the bus, Tang En was already standing at the gate of the University of Nottingham campus.The University of Nottingham has many campuses. Dunn only knows that there is a large campus west of the city center.

The campus of the University of Nottingham is very large and beautiful.People who don't know will think they are in the park.From a distance, I saw a certain white square tower under the shade of a row of trees. When I walked in, I found that it was not a single tower, but a whole white building. The square tower was just the highest part in the middle.

Tang En stood in the middle of the road, a little confused.The campus is too big, and he doesn't know how to get around.Wouldn't it be a joke if you got lost?

Just when he was hesitating, a nice voice sounded beside him, in standard English: "This is the main teaching building of the University of Nottingham."

Tang En turned his head and saw a black-haired girl standing next to him, looking at the white house with a smile: "It's beautiful, right? It's pure white. If you change the square tower into a dome, it will be an enlarged version of the White House." .”

But the head coach of Nottingham Forest didn't hear what the girl said next at all. He froze in place as if he had been struck by lightning.Who did he see?

The black and bright hair was tied into a refreshing ponytail, and even the bloated down jacket could not conceal the youthful body and the beautiful face that was so familiar.

That was his classmate in high school, and he had been secretly in love with Yang Yan, the class flower for three years!
It's a small world...

"Sir? Sir!" Yang Yan was a little annoyed when she found that the foreign man was always staring at her, but she still maintained basic politeness and did not slap the foreign pervert before turning around and leaving.

Tang En came back to his senses and realized that it was really bad for him to look at a girl like this.He quickly apologized: "I'm really sorry, I suddenly thought of something and lost my mind. I'm very sorry." He bowed slightly.Tang En used to be only 1.7 meters tall, a typical height of a Sichuan boy, while Yang Yan was 1.6 meters five in high school, a very standard height for a beautiful woman.Now Yang Yan's height has not changed much, but Tang En has become a ghost over 1.8 meters.Things are no longer what they used to be, and people are no longer familiar with each other. The moment Tang En saw Yang Yan, he really had the urge to call out her name, but the reason in his heart stopped him.Now they should be strangers meeting for the first time.

Finding that this man is quite polite and polite, Yang Yan put aside the unhappiness just now, she smiled and said, "Sir, are you a tourist?"

"what?"

"I see you standing here a little at a loss..."

"Ah, yes! I'm a tourist." Tang En realized, "I heard that the University of Nottingham is one of the most beautiful universities in the UK, so I came to have a look. But it's too big here, I don't know how to get around... and , I'm afraid of getting lost."

Yang Yan covered her mouth and smiled, this man was frankly cute.

Tang En was distracted again... In high school, Yang Yan was a good student in the eyes of her teachers, a good daughter in the eyes of her parents, and a lover in the hearts of her classmates.At that time, almost all the boys in the class liked her, but few had the courage to confess, and even the revolutionary pioneers who had finally mustered up the courage made Yang Yan refuse with a smile.Later, there were rumors that Yang Yan's family was preparing to immigrate. She was a girl who was going abroad and looked down on Chinese men.Many boys have been aggrieved by this for a long time.Tang En was not very popular in the class at the time. He had a weird temper and didn't have many friends, let alone women.For girls like Yang Yan, they can only watch from a distance.

After graduating from high school, it took only two years to hear that Yang Yan had really gone abroad. Two years later, everyone saw photos of her taken from the UK on the online classmates. In the photos, Yang Yan became more and more beautiful and her figure has matured .So everyone once again praised the beautiful girl as a grown-up, and some people joked that it was cheaper for foreigners.Yang Yan's consistent reply to this is "hehe".

Tang En was surprised that he could remember these clearly. He originally thought that school life would say goodbye to him after graduating from university.Although he occasionally enters classmate records, he never leaves a message. Even if he leaves a message, those people will not know who he is.When he applied to join the classmate, there was a big discussion among the classmates about "who is he", but in the end he passed the application, who approved him to join...

He only knew that Yang Yan's family immigrated to England, but he didn't expect it to be Nottingham.What should he say?Are you destined to meet from thousands of miles away?

"If you don't know how to get around, I can be a free tour guide for you." Yang Yan didn't realize what Tang En was thinking, she looked around the campus with people coming and going, and said, "I go to school here, very familiar."

Still so enthusiastic...

Tang En nodded: "Okay, you will be my tour guide." This was the first time Tang En had "intimate" contact with Yang Yan like this.How could such an opportunity be missed?

He remembered the original intention of coming to the University of Nottingham today: Maybe he could meet beautiful foreign students from China, and then develop a beautiful foreign relationship.

Now it seems that there is no hope.The current Tang En is no longer the young boy with a weird temper and a little low self-esteem.

I am now a 34-year-old man... but I wonder if this body is still a virgin?
