Chapter 404 England's savior?Jessica's painstaking efforts
No wonder Li Rui asked this question. Jessica is an American, and her American nationality is also very beneficial to her development in Hollywood. Li Rui couldn't figure out why Jessica suddenly said that she wanted to apply for a British passport.

"Honey, what's your opinion on joining the England team?" Jessica didn't answer Li Rui's question, but asked Li Rui instead.

Li Rui was a little dazed. He was in a daze. There were too many unexpected things today. First, Vivienne came to say that she wanted to move here, and then Jessica called and said she wanted to apply for a British passport. Would he like to play for England?

Kind of messy.

"Why are you asking me this? My dear." Li Rui sat on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, with a microphone in his hand, and he realized that Vivienne had gone somewhere.

"I know the World Cup is very important to you, so I thought, if you can play in England, you can play in the World Cup and win the championship, right?"

"But, I'm Chinese." Li Rui said.

***********
"Does this have something to do with playing for England? You are of Chinese descent, but you can't change this by playing for England. Everyone will say that you proved it for the Chinese." Jessica's meaning is a bit messy, but , the general meaning Li Rui understands, that is to say, although he is playing for England, this is not a way to prove that the Chinese can also play football, don't be too narrow.

However, Li Rui still had trouble turning the corner.It is impossible for him to say that he is not tempted to play for England. After all, the World Cup attracts a player too much. However, Li Rui knows that China does not recognize dual nationality. If he represents England If you play football, you can't represent the Chinese team. This is where Li Rui struggles.

He rubs his temples.

***********
"But, dear, I don't understand, what does this have to do with your application for an English passport." Li Rui put aside Jessica's question just now, and he remembered that the source of this matter was that Jessica said that she wanted to apply British passport.

"You're such an idiot." Jessica said in a tired voice, explaining to Li Rui.

It turns out that Jessica's application for an English passport is entirely for Li Rui's consideration. She and Li Rui are married now. If Jessica has an English passport, Li Rui can also have a British passport logically. England played.

As for how Jessica could apply for a British passport, according to what Jessica said, this is not a problem.

***********
Jessica's mother was born in the UK, and Jessica's family has British ancestry, so they can apply for a British passport.

Hearing what Jessica said, Li Rui also remembered an incident reported by the media during the 2004 Athens Olympics. At that time, Davis, a 400-meter runner from California, applied for The British passport represents the United Kingdom to participate in the Athens Olympics, and the relevant British authorities also gave Davis the green light. It took less than 10 days to get the British passport and was able to participate in the Athens Olympics on time.

Davis, who was born in the United States, obtained a British passport because his mother was born in London.Because there are so many strong American track and field players, it is difficult for Davis to have a bright future, so he applied for British citizenship to get a chance to participate in the Olympics.Davis's personal best time is 45 seconds, reaching the participation standard of the Athens Olympics. In the Athens Olympics, he participated in the Olympic men's 52 meters and 400 meters relay competitions.

At that time, Li Rui happened to return to China, and the domestic media had reported it, so Li Rui had an impression.

He did not expect that a similar thing would happen to his wife today, applying for a British passport.

Of course, Li Rui knows that Jessica is completely for his own consideration. Jessica has no need to apply for a British passport. She is developing in Hollywood, and American nationality is the most suitable one. An Englishman has a relative advantage if he wants to develop in Hollywood. It's worse.

"Don't worry, I'm not giving up my American citizenship when I apply for a British passport. Have you forgotten that the United States allows dual citizenship?"

It was only then that Li Rui remembered that, indeed, the United States has dual citizenship. On the other side of the phone, Jessica was talking about it. Can play for the U.S. team.

*************
Hearing what Jessica said, Li Rui smiled wryly on the phone. Isn't the US team strong?So what is the strength of the Chinese team?
Li Rui was a bit at a loss. For him, he was unprepared for what Jessica said today. Since Li Rui was expelled from the national team by the Chinese Football Association, he has never considered the national team. Playing well at Manchester United, helping Manchester United win the Champions League this season is Li Rui's biggest goal.

However, Jessica suddenly asked him about playing for England, which made Li Rui surprised and a little confused, and felt unspeakably depressed.

Of course, he still wants to represent the Chinese team in his heart. This is his motherland, and he has feelings, but England?Li Rui didn't have any feelings, he was just working in England, did he really want to go this far for the World Cup?

However, what Jessica said is still lingering in Li Rui's mind. On a stage like the World Cup, if it can really help England achieve good results, even win the championship and become the world champion, isn't that true? Does it prove that the Chinese can play well?
"I asked some friends for their opinions, and they said that the situation of the England team is not good and they need a savior." Jessica said on the phone, "Don't you want to be King Arthur of England?"

Li Rui felt a headache. Jessica was like a little witch, chanting spells in his ear, tempting him. Of course, this metaphor may not be appropriate. Jessica also had good intentions, and it was indeed for Li Rui. For the sake of career and future.

***********
"Honey, let me think about this matter for a while. I can't answer it right now. My mind is in a mess." Li Rui said.

Jessica nodded in agreement, and she also knew that this incident was too sudden for her husband, and it was really difficult for Li Rui to give an answer now.

"Okay, but it's best to have a result within two or three days. I'll wait for your news from the United States." Jessica said, and she told Li Rui from the United States. In fact, Jessica's family is very concerned about what she wants Applying for a British passport is not a supportive attitude. In the eyes of Americans, few people will apply for citizenship of other countries. This is the self-superiority of Americans. After all, the United States is indeed very powerful. It was split, but the current UK is indeed incomparable with the United States.

Therefore, Mr. Alba strongly opposed Jessica's decision.However, Jessica insisted on applying for a British passport.

Jessica had the idea of ​​applying for a British passport last year. She knew her boyfriend’s desire for the World Cup. Last summer, when the two were on vacation in Hawaii, Li Rui watched the World Cup match in front of the TV. Jessica felt that kind of depression very much, and in the selection of the European Ballon d'Or, Li Rui ranked No.3 because of the disadvantage of the national team, which was the key factor that prompted Jessica's decision.

The two were also married at the time. If Jessica had a British passport, Li Rui would naturally be able to apply for a British passport. Jessica knew this very well. She really sacrificed her life for Li Rui this time. career prospects.Although it may not necessarily cause too much impact, Jessica's career in Hollywood will definitely be affected. After all, American movie fans will not understand and support Jessica's sudden choice to apply for a British passport.

Before calling Li Rui, Jessica also learned a lot through her own relationship. She first confirmed that the strength of the England team is indeed good. Moreover, she even asked about the current England coach McClaren through her friends. Attitude, judging from the feedback from there, although this Mr. McLaren does not necessarily like Li Rui, but at this time, he is also interested in Manchester United No. 10 to save him. England's 2008 Euro Cup qualifier The qualifying situation is precarious.

This also accelerated Jessica's decision.

***********
In addition, Jessica also specifically asked for Beckham's opinion. The Real Madrid star was surprised that Li Rui's new wife found him. However, Beckham also strongly supported him. For Beckham who is not confused, if Li Rui can join England, his dream of winning the European Cup and the World Cup may no longer be a dream!
In the game against Manchester United, Beckham was very aware of Li Rui's strength. This is definitely a star who can bring about a qualitative change in England!
Beckham even assured Jessica that as long as Li Rui played for England, Beckham would guarantee Li Rui's status in the England team's locker room.It can be said that Beckham's guarantee is the reason why Jessica is really determined to operate this matter. Jessica is also very worried about operating this matter without Li Rui's knowledge. She knows that Beckham The statement made by the former England national team captain is even more important than McClaren's statement.

In addition, Rooney, Li Rui's striker partner in the club, also has a certain understanding of this matter. Although Rooney is not very clear, he knows that Jessica is operating this matter. For this, the fat man also raised his hands in agreement. There is nothing to say about the tacit understanding between him and Li Rui in the club. Regarding Li Rui's strength, Rooney, as a striker partner, also has the most say. For the team, what does it mean! !

***********
Even Vivian's coming to Li Rui's house to spend the night was also facilitated by Jessica.

Neil Gilckney is also an England international. He is also Li Rui's good friend. Vivian lives in Li Rui's house. The relationship between Li Rui and Neil Gilckney's best friend can be said to be locked.This is also helpful for Li Rui's relationship in the England dressing room.

Of course, this reason is secondary. Jessica also likes Vivienne, which is the main reason. Otherwise, she would not agree with Vivienne living at home. After all, Jessica is also a big star and has her own of privacy.

It can be seen that Jessica really cares about her husband and wants to help Li Rui to realize his dream of the World Cup.

And all of this happened without Li Rui's knowledge, because Jessica knew that if Li Rui knew, she would not agree to her operation.

***********
"Hey, why don't you eat?"

Vivian's words dragged Li Rui out of Jessica's phone call just now, and he looked in front of him. Two sets of tableware had been placed on the dining table, with bacon and fried sausage on the plate.The glass is filled with fruit juice.Plus a plate of donuts.

When Li Rui answered Jessica's call just now, Vivian came to make dinner obediently by herself, which surprised Li Rui.

"It looks quite plausible." Li Rui said with a smile, which aroused Vivian's dissatisfaction, and the little girl pouted immediately.
Li Rui has every reason to doubt whether he would be poisoned after eating these things. He heard clearly just now that Vivienne doesn't know how to cook. This is probably the first time this little girl cooks. These things Can I eat it?Li Rui hesitated for a moment, looked at the blackened fried sausage, only the donut looked normal, in fact, it was made by Jessica and kept in the refrigerator, just need to heat it up in the microwave That's it.

Maybe it was the first time cooking, which made Vivienne very excited. She seemed extremely eager for the man in front of her to taste her "first time" results. Cut and smear with peanut butter.Then pushed it in front of him, smiled and said, "It's delicious, I'll let you eat it first."

"Uh——Vivian, I think it's not good to eat bacon at night, I usually eat bacon for breakfast." Li Rui was still dying.

"It's okay, aren't you hungry? Eat, you're welcome." Vivienne said with her chin resting on her hands, looking at Li Rui eagerly.

Li Rui sighed, picked up a piece of bacon, and put it into his mouth. Although he already had the consciousness of "unpalatable", he didn't expect it to be so unpalatable, bitter and salty, hard to swallow. However, watching Li Rui gritted his teeth, raised his neck, and swallowed the excited mist in the corner of Vivian's eyes, barely chewing. This is the only way to solve this kind of unpalatable food.

"How about it? How about it? I knew it was delicious. I really have a talent for cooking—here, I'll give you all of these." Vivienne handed over her share as she spoke.
