Chapter 199 Journey to Liverpool (Transition Chapter)

After finishing the Champions League group stage, Manchester City immediately ushered in the seventh round of the Premier League.

Even though they made a lot of rotations at home, they still beat Everton as a guest 3:1.

Lin Quan came on as a substitute in the 65th minute of the second half and scored a goal.

Scoring for Everton was Chelsea's young forward Romelu Lukaku.

Ever since he was loaned out by Chelsea, the King of Pestle seems to be able to play football.

After arriving at Everton, he only played in three games.

However, in these three games, Lukaku scored in each game, including a brace.

Before he arrived, Everton was as weak as Chelsea, scoring only three goals in the first four rounds.

But after he came, Everton averaged three goals per game and their firepower more than tripled!

With his outstanding performance, Lukaku quickly gained the favor of Everton.

It is rumored that the Toffees intend to pay to buy out Lukaku's contract during the winter break to keep the team's top scorer.

Anyway, Chelsea's striker is so crowded, and Lukaku won't get a chance to play if he goes back, so why not sell it to us!

Lukaku's outstanding performance has made the outside world more skeptical of Chelsea, especially Mourinho:

Why couldn't Lukaku score goals when he was at Chelsea, but he made a killing as soon as he left Chelsea?

This doubt has been supported by T9 fans. In the eyes of Torres fans, Torres' transfer to Chelsea is definitely a mistake.

When he was at Liverpool, he was killing everyone and scoring a lot of goals.

When he arrived at Chelsea, it became difficult to score goals, his scoring efficiency was greatly reduced, and he even lost his position as the main player of the national team.

For this reason, fans naturally blame Chelsea's tactics.

After all, Torres is not the only forward who has performed abnormally at Chelsea.

Mourinho was not the only one to be attacked. Barcelona coach Martino and Bayern coach Guardiola were criticized by the media after this round of the Champions League group stage.

…

The noise from the outside world has nothing to do with Lin Quan. After the seventh round of the league, the FIFA match day has arrived.

Since Spain qualified two rounds ahead of schedule, Bosque did not call Lin Quan and the main players to participate in the game. Instead, he selected a group of young players from the National Youth League and the league.

Thanks to this, Lin Quan got a rare two-week vacation.

Although it was a holiday, he couldn't take a break. He still had some sponsor advertisements to shoot.

Fortunately, Pere's excellent work ability helped him arrange the schedules of these advertisements together.

In this case, all the work can be completed within two days.

"Okay, there is one last commercial activity left, but that one has to wait until October 12th."

"What activity is it?"

"A big-budget movie in Hollywood is about to be released, and we're going to invite some celebrities to the premiere!"

"Well, we'll see when the time comes. Go if you have time. If you don't, just turn it down for me!"

Lin Quan said casually that he had participated in some such activities, mainly to show his face in front of the media and use his influence to help promote the movie.

The process is relatively simple, but it is quite time consuming.

"Then I won't disturb you. I wish you a happy holiday!"

Pere then said goodbye and left, leaving all his time to Lin Quan himself.

Lin Quan took out the fishing rod he had prepared long ago and prepared to go fishing in the Awell River.

When he was in Werder Bremen, he wanted to go fishing in the Weser River, but he did not have a fishing license.

In Germany, fishing without a license is illegal, which makes the angler very hurt.

However, the fishing guy would not give in so easily. After arriving in Manchester City, Lin Quan asked Perret to help him handle all the procedures. Now he can go out fishing legally.

I don’t know if it’s because my skills are rusty or because the fish in Britain are too difficult to catch.

After two consecutive days of fishing, I was actually exhausted.

Depend on!

It must be a fish compatibility!

Forget it, stop fishing and go for a drive!

Manchester used to be an industrial city, but since Thatcher came to power to carry out reforms, British industry has gradually declined, and the factories here have either closed down or moved away.

When driving on the road, you can see many abandoned factories along the way.

Without industrial pollution, the air quality in Manchester, located in the basin, has improved a lot.

But the price is that many people have lost their jobs due to factory closures. In recent years, Manchester's population has been declining, and more and more people have moved to London to make a living.

Lin Quan, an outsider, had no deep feelings about this. Not long after he drove along the seaside road, he came to another seaside city - Liverpool.

The UK is really too small. The distance between Liverpool and Manchester is only a few dozen kilometers. You can get there in less than an hour by car.

Although the two places are very close, Lin Quan has never been here before.

Liverpool is a famous tourist city with many tourist attractions.

After visiting several scenic spots, Lin Quan came to William Brown Street.

This is Liverpool's cultural quarter with many historic buildings worth seeing.

In the William Brown Library and the Walker Art Gallery, he met a girl who looked exactly like Audrey Hepburn twice in a row.

The other party also noticed him and smiled politely at him when they met for the second time.

At first I only thought they were somewhat similar, but when the other party smiled, they suddenly looked more like each other.

But why does this girl look so familiar?

I always feel like I've seen it somewhere?

Lin Quan thought for a long time, but still couldn't remember who it was, so he nodded, but did not go up to talk to him.

When two people meet for the first time, rashly striking up a conversation may be considered harassment.

However, fate is such a coincidence sometimes.

The two met again in Picton's reading room.

"Are you here for a trip?"

The other party took the initiative and asked curiously.

"How can I see it?"

“Because only tourists from out of town would be so interested in browsing so many places at once!”

"It makes sense, but according to your statement, you are not a native of Liverpool?"

The girl nodded and said, "I'm from Surrey."

Lin Quan was not very familiar with the administrative divisions of the United Kingdom, and for a while he didn't know where Surrey County was.

The girl saw his confusion, so she patiently explained to him:

"Surrey is south of London, on the Thames."

Although I still don’t know the exact location, I at least have a general direction.

"You're not British?"

the girl asked curiously.

"no!"

Lin Quan answered truthfully, and then asked:

"Where do you think I'm from?"

The girl looked him up and down and began to think seriously.

"Honestly, I don't know. Judging from your appearance, you should be from three countries in East Asia, right?"

"Congratulations. You got the wrong answer. You still have another chance. Do you want to continue?"

"I can't guess, but I think you came from the European continent?"

"right!"

"That must be Spain!"

"Hey, how did you know?"

Lin Quan was a little surprised. There were so many countries on the European continent, how did she guess that she was from Spain.

Could it be that he recognized his identity?

"because……"

The girl covered her mouth and snickered: "Because your skin color is more in line with my impression of tropical countries!"

"Well, the sun in Spain is indeed relatively powerful. One day in the sun is worth several days elsewhere!"

Professional players often train in the sun, and it is normal to get tanned.

The girl was amused by his words: "When working outdoors, applying some sunscreen appropriately can provide effective protection."

Seeing that Lin Quan didn't seem to know much about these, she gave some suggestions.

"Thank you for your advice. As a thank you, this beautiful lady, can I treat you to a meal?"

The girl blinked: "I'm very picky about eating. Aren't you worried that I'll make you poor?"

"It doesn't matter, it's just a meal, I can still afford it!"

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be an invisible rich man, so I won't be polite!"

The girl agreed to Lin Quan's invitation generously, without any hesitation.

"There is a Michelin restaurant nearby, and the reviews are said to be pretty good. How about going to eat there?"

"Let's go!"

The two left the reading room and came to where Lin Quan parked his car.

Seeing Lin Quan's car, the other party began to believe that he was a rich man.

"Thanks to you, this is my first time riding in such a high-end sports car!"

Although she said that, judging from the other party's reaction, she was not surprised. She didn't look around after getting in the car. She obviously had seen the world.

"What a coincidence, it's my first time too!"

This is not a lie. This Ferrari is a new model this year and will only go on sale in September.

Mansour specially ordered one and gave it to Lin Quan as a gift.

Lin Quan only got the car keys last week, and this was his first time driving the car.

Start the car, and the strong power makes the two people in the seats feel a clear push-back feeling.

Not long after Lin Quan got his driver's license, he drove more cautiously.

Collins, who was in the passenger seat, was still very nervous at first, but after seeing him driving so smoothly, his heart gradually relaxed.

She was relieved, but the drivers on the road were scolding her.

"Damn, you're driving a LaFerrari so slowly, why don't you get down and ride a bicycle?"

Although they complained like this, they didn't dare to get close except for honking their horns to urge them.

This kind of car is so expensive that if you accidentally encounter it, you may lose your money and you may not be able to afford it.

And those who can afford to drive such a limited-edition supercar must be rich or expensive, and they are not something ordinary people like them can afford.

After eating, seeing that it was still early, the two of them visited several scenic spots that they had not visited before.

Finally, we watched the entire sunset together at Liverpool’s landmark building, Liverpool Cathedral.

"It's getting late, I have to go back!"

"I send you!"

"good!"

So Lin Quan sent her back to the hotel where she was staying.

Outside the hotel, Lily Collins extended her hand generously and said to Lin Quan:

"Let me formally introduce myself, my name is Lily Collins, nice to meet you!"

"My name is Lin Quan, Miss Collins. Thank you for bringing me a good mood throughout the day. I hope we have another chance to meet again!"

Collins thought the other person would know who he was after he said his name, but he didn't expect the other person to show no reaction.

On the other side, Lin Quan was also wondering why the other party didn't respond to his name?

Am I not famous enough?

The two of them had the same idea at the same time.

"Mr. Lin Quan, there is a movie coming out in a few days. I would like to treat you to a movie in return for the meal you invited me today. Are you free?!"

"It's my pleasure."

A beautiful woman invites you to watch a movie together, who can say no?

The two added each other's contact information and made an appointment at the time and place:

“See you at the Electric Cinema in London on October 12th!”

"Okay, see you there or see you!"

…

Two days later, Lin Quan received movie tickets from Lily Collins. The movie was called "The Holy Grail: City of Bones."

I searched this movie online and discovered that the heroine is none other than Lily Collins.

No wonder I thought she looked familiar when I saw her before. It turns out she is a Hollywood star.

She invited herself to watch a movie starring her, and it was a courtesy, so should he give her a ticket and invite her to watch a game at the Etihad Stadium?

At this moment, Pere also sent the invitation letter to the business event to Lin Quan.

Lin Quan was immediately happy when he saw the name of the movie on the invitation.

Isn't this the movie Lily Collins sent him tickets to?

Haha, that’s interesting!

I wonder if she would be surprised if she appeared in the cinema as a guest at the premiere?
