Chapter 388 Marriage Confirmation
Li Rui's performance still surprised Wang Weiwei a little bit. She just agreed to come and help Jessica design the wedding dress at that time. Things are like this sometimes, in the eyes of a 'big shot', it's not easy for an outsider. In wedding dress design, Wang Weiwei is definitely a super 'big shot', and at the BOSS level.

In Wang Weiwei's impression, these football players can't be said to be "ignorant and incompetent", but thinking about it, they are also the kind of players who, apart from playing football, perform in a normal way. It's a bit vulgar to say it badly, but , the feeling Li Rui gave her, if I use one word to describe it, it would be 'polite', whether it's dealing with people or speaking knowledge is still good.

***********
Although Wang Weiwei is of Chinese descent, her Chinese is not good, so Li Rui chatted with her in English. Wang Weiwei and her family went to the United States before liberation, so Wang Weiwei's understanding of the domestic situation is largely derived from the older generation. Li Rui knows a lot about the anecdotes of the Republic of China period that he heard from his mouth, from the official history of the Republic of China period to the development of the country in recent years, from Martin Luther King's civil rights movement to Bill Gates' business empire, Li Rui was also eloquent.

When the two were chatting, Jessica was like a gentle little wife, accompanying Li Rui. Occasionally, when there was a problem with the communication between the two, Jessica would help translate.

At this time, Jessica looked at Li Rui with a look of pride and happiness in her eyes. Although Jessica herself is a Hollywood star, she is still incomparable to Wang Weiwei. Wang Vera is a member of the real American upper class. Members, active in high society.There are nobles in foreign countries, not to mention Wang Weiwei's family, she has also successfully won the respect of the upper class by virtue of her own business empire.

***********
"Mr. Li, you really surprised me." Vera Wang said with a smile.

"Oh, really?" Li Rui said with a smile, "Maybe Ms. Wang thinks that those of us who play football must be full of flesh. Drinking coffee is like drinking boiled water. Haha, just kidding, Ms. Wang, don't mind. I I remembered that when I was in school, I often joked that a sentence was 'uneducated, it's terrible', so I insisted on making myself a little educated. Hehe."

Wang Weiwei didn't know Li Rui well, or in her subconscious mind, it was only because Li Rui was Chinese that she personally designed the wedding dress this time. Otherwise, Li Rui, a talented player with a bachelor's degree, would definitely not be difficult Inquire about the secret.

Li Rui's studies at the University of Leeds have ended and he has obtained a bachelor's degree as he wished.Of course, in Wang Weiwei's eyes, this kind of education may not be a big deal, but it is still relatively rare among players. A player with a master's degree in psychology.

In the evening, Li Rui and Jessica hosted a banquet in a well-known European castle-style restaurant to express their gratitude to her for coming to design Jessica's wedding dress.

***********
After half a day of contact, Wang Weiwei is also really interested in Li Rui. This is an attitude of appreciation, and seeing the excitement of Chinese students working in restaurants when they recognize Li Rui, you can see it in their eyes. The proud expression that came out also gave Wang Weiwei a flash of inspiration. Although it was just a momentary feeling, Wang Weiwei clearly grasped something, and she believed in her intuition.

Designing a wedding dress is not so easy. After Vera Wang returns to the United States, Jessica will also take the time to go there and deliberate on some details in real time.

"Mr. Li, I will wait for you personally in Washington." Wang Weiwei stretched out her right hand.

Li Rui also smiled and shook hands with her to say goodbye. He could tell that he and Jessica were invited to go together.

***********
On the way home, Jessica pouted suddenly and glanced at her "little man". Since Jessica is 4 years older than Li Rui, in public, Jessica It's more about the one who came forward, but Li Rui's performance today also surprised Jessica a bit. She didn't expect Li Rui's performance to be so good. Of course, in front of Wang Weiwei, Jessica concealed it very well. Just my own surprise.This is not a problem for an actor.

"Honey, what's the matter?" Li Rui said with a smile, when there were only two people left, Li Rui's children's shoes returned to their original appearance.

"Hmph, your performance today is excellent." Jessica pinched Li Rui's nose, and Li Rui hurriedly said, don't make trouble, you are still driving.

"Jessica, I admire Ms. Wang Weiwei very much." Li Rui suddenly said this.

Jessica knew that what Li Rui was talking about was that Vera Wang created her business empire almost on a blank slate. This is indeed an admirable skill. However, Jessica grasped other meanings from Li Rui's words.

***********
"Tell me, what do you think?" As soon as she got home, Jessica's beautiful and lubricated arms wrapped around Li Rui's neck like a baby koala.

"I want to earn more milk powder money for my child." Li Rui said with a smile.For no reason, when he was sitting in the franchise store and watching the development of Wang Weiwei's business empire, he thought of a domestic brand 'Li Jing', and Li Rui also showed his full potential on a whim The communication with Wang Weiwei is not because he has any blueprint now, but he just wants to know one more friend, because the football circle is relatively narrow, and there are hardly many real big entrepreneurs like Wang Weiwei. .

"—milk powder money?" Jessica was taken aback for a moment before she understood what Li Rui was talking about, and her face immediately turned pink.

Li Rui laughed, picked up Jessica by the waist, and walked towards the bedroom.

After that, it will be spring all over the room.

***********
The next day, in the morning, Jessica turned over, opened her misty eyes, and opened a gap in the curtains. It was gloomy outside, and it was another rainy day.

The girl's mood seemed to be affected as well. At this time, Li Rui had already gone to the training ground.

Jessica lay on the bed, twisted her neck like a swan, and saw a bouquet of fresh roses in a vase on the bedside table, and there was a note on it that said, "Breakfast is in the microwave. On the court, in bed at night."

The girl sighed happily and comfortably, thinking of something, her face flushed with pink.

***********
As usual, quite a few reporters were already waiting at the gate of the Carrington Training Base.

Li Rui was blocked by the reporters. A "Times" reporter took the latest newspaper and asked Li Rui, "Li, may I ask, have you and Miss Alba decided on a wedding date?"

The outside world has been speculating that Li Rui and Jessica are planning to get married. However, after Li Rui's public proposal, neither of them has been publicly interviewed by the media. Bo and the friends of the two people who were on the sidelines speculated that Manchester United's No. 10 and the Hollywood actress are now likely to be 'wedding time'.

Li Rui noticed a large photo on the front page of The Times. It was actually a photo of him appearing in a restaurant with Jessica and Ms. Wang Weiwei. There was no doubt that they were secretly photographed by reporters.

"Lee and his girlfriend Jessica entertain Vera Wang, and the wedding is imminent!" - this is the headline on the front page of "The Times".

"Excuse me, did you meet with Ms. Vera Wang to design a wedding dress for Ms. Alba?" The reporter of "Daily Mirror" also asked.

At this time, other reporters also asked questions, most of which revolved around his and Jessica's wedding.

***********
"Yes, that's right. The wedding dress designed by Ms. Vera Wang is every girl's favorite. Jessica also hopes to wear the wedding dress designed by Ms. Vera Wang when she holds her wedding next year." Li Rui said with a smile. He had already guessed it all, and he didn't want to hide it anymore. However, there was still a small trap in Li Rui's words. He said that the wedding would be held next year, but in fact, the two had already decided to hold the wedding during Christmas.When Li Rui said this, he also hoped to divert the reporter's attention. Of course, it is unknown whether it will have any effect.

"WOWOWOWOWO—"

"God--"

Although the reporter had long guessed that the two were preparing for their big wedding, it was the first time that Li Rui admitted it personally, and there was a commotion among the reporters at the scene. Recognize that impact and effect are not the same.

Moreover, from Li Rui's words, it seems that the wedding will be next year. Well, this is a discovery. Of course, the paparazzi will not be fooled easily. If they want to come, they only need to keep an eye on Li Rui and Jesse. Ka, it doesn't matter when you get married, you will naturally know when the time comes.

Li Rui also refused to answer the next question. With the help of security guards, he escaped from the reporters' siege.

***********
Other Manchester United stars also appeared one after another after Li Rui. The first thing the reporters asked these stars was about whether they would attend Li Rui's wedding.

Without exception, everyone was a little surprised. After all, Li Rui did not send invitations to the wedding to his teammates. Of course, facing the microphone of the media, everyone said that if they received the invitations, of course they would attend the wedding. .

Fatty Rooney did not forget to tell the reporter that he would give Li Rui a very good gift. Hearing Rooney's words, the reporters also confirmed the news that Li Rui was going to get married from one side. Everyone knows that Rooney and Li Rui are best friends in the locker room. The two young people, together with Fletcher and O'Shea, can be regarded as a small group with a good relationship.

***********
The question that Manchester United coach Ferguson was asked was about the selection of the Golden Globe Awards half a month later.

"Last season, Lee became the top scorer in the Premier League. He also broke the Champions League (single season) scoring record. Since the start of the new season, Lee's performance has been quite outstanding, and now he is also leading the scorer list in the league. And it is often the key goal that decides the outcome, I don't think such a player will not meet the selection criteria for the Ballon d'Or." Of course Ferguson strongly supports his favorite disciple.

However, when a reporter asked if this meant that Manchester United suffered from 'Li Rui dependence', the Scottish old man categorically denied this statement.

For some journalists who are deliberately looking for trouble, taking the gang fight between Manchester United and Celtic as an example, thinking that Li Rui is not worthy of the Golden Globe Award, Ferguson's approach is even more straightforward, directly asking the security to drive all the reporters away. out.

Not to mention that, the Scottish old man went on to announce that today's public training will be temporarily changed to closed training due to 'weather reasons'.

"Damn 'weather reason'!!" Someone cursed in their stomachs. The bad weather has nothing to do with the public training. Everyone on the earth knows that the weather in Britain is humid.

That criticizing reporter also aroused the dissatisfaction of most of his peers. This is obviously a joke. Everyone on earth knows that Ferguson defended his shortcomings, and he is not ambiguous about the media. You are still saying such things at this time, which is good. It hurt everyone.

***********
"Fans and friends, good evening everyone. I am your old friend Su Dong. Welcome to watch the last match day of the 2006-2007 UEFA Champions League group stage with me. His home stadium, Old Trafford, will play against Benfica, a giant team in the Portuguese Super League."

"I believe that many fans have already prepared beer and peanuts in front of the TV and are waiting for the start of the game. Let's not gossip, let's take a look at the situation of this game-well, we have already got the ticket for this game. Both sides' starting rosters."

Manchester United (4-3-3):

Forwards: 7-Cristiano Ronaldo, 9-Rooney, 10-Li Rui;

"Li Rui, whom we all love and support, appeared in the starting lineup as he wished. In this game, Ferguson looks like he will continue the three-forward formation in the last round of the away game against Middlesbrough 3-0. However, this game The change in the game was in the midfield, Giggs strained his thigh in training and did not appear in the squad for this game, and in the midfield, Fletcher and O'Shea started with double midfielders."

Benfica (4-4-2):
Goalkeeper: 12-Quim;

Defense line: 22-Nelson, 4-Luiszao, 33-Rocha, 5-Leon;

Midfielder: 8-Katuranis, 10 Rui Costa, 20-Siman, 25-Assis;
Forwards: 21-Nuno Gomez, 30-Miccoli
"For Benfica, the veteran Rui Costa that we are most concerned about still appears in the starting list. He is also the captain of Benfica. There was news before the game that Rui Costa's knee injury recurrence will miss this game. Contest."

There was a sudden thunderous applause at Old Trafford as players from both sides entered the field.

***********
"The players from both sides have entered the field, and we can even hear the huge cheers at Old Trafford. The fans are undoubtedly the happiest to be able to watch the game in this dream theater. Let me introduce to you today's game. The referee, the referee Van der is from Germany, and the two assistant referees Kadah and Wiesel are also from Germany. The fourth official of today's game, Wagner, um, is also from Germany—one water made in Germany , I don’t know, in the game between the English team and the Portuguese team, what kind of consideration did UEFA send such a law enforcement lineup.” Su Dong continued to talk, he started from the Anglo-German hatred during World War II Speaking of it, it even mentioned the hatred of the Germans and Angles for taking their wives.Anyway, the game hasn't started yet, so let's treat it as an appetizer.

Some fans even sent a text message saying that Su Dong will not commentate on the game in the future, and going to BJ Tianqiao to set up a storytelling stall will definitely be a hit.
***********
When the players from both sides shook hands, Li Rui was still a little excited when he was with Rui Costa. Of course, he is now a star himself. This kind of excitement is insignificant compared to before. After all, with Zidane and Ronaldo He and Ronaldinho have all played against each other, and Li Rui has gradually adapted to this change of mentality.

The growth of a superstar is not only on the court, but also its psychological maturity is also very important.

Li Rui's memory of Rui Costa is from his peak period in Fiorentina. Soon after the game started, Li Rui almost thought he was dazzled. He even saw a midfielder Rui Costa at his peak in that scene. tower.

***********
In the 9th minute of the game, Rui Costa received the ball from the left side of the midfielder. After the Portuguese veteran took the ball, he rushed along the left side. Scholes made a symbolic interception, and Bierui Costa threw it away.

Next, facing Fletcher, who defended to the side, Rui Costa made a gesture to break through to the bottom line, but suddenly swayed the instep of his right foot and cut in!

The whole breakthrough action was done in one go, concise and direct without giving Fletcher a chance to foul, and rushed to the front of the penalty area!
The boos of Old Trafford began to sound, and Manchester United fans looked at Rui Costa in surprise. Is this still the old guy who returned to Portugal to retire?

Even the commentator was surprised. Such a fast dribbling inside was not so easy even for Rui Costa at his peak. Everyone knows that this player of the golden generation of Portugal is not fast. His biggest feature is his near-perfect passing.
