Chapter 113 Volume 2 The Sky of Nottingham Welcome Back (Part 1)

Freddie Eastwood's business was easily settled. Since he is now playing in an amateur team and his value is very low, the Forest team only needs to pay 100,000 pounds to take him away from Grays` Athletic. In fact, it was possible to not spend a penny, but with apologies to Eastwood, Tang En still gave the money. After all, it was because the Grace Athletic team was willing to take in a striker with a broken leg, let him participate in the game, and ensure his condition, Twain was able to meet such a lively Eastwood.

The two parties signed a transfer agreement. From January 1, 2004, Eastwood was considered a member of Nottingham Forest.

Tang En, who came back from Basildon, heard that Collymore's team had lost again at the bar at night, and he knew that this kid was not far from getting out of class...

On Monday morning, the London Stock Exchange opened, and Nottingham Forest Club announced the equity change through the stock market announcement-Evan Dalgetty has acquired 75% of the controlling stake in Nottingham Forest Club through the acquisition.

This news confirmed Tang En's conjecture, and he also fully understood what Evan and his financial advisor had been doing for nearly half a season.

What does it mean to have a 75 percent controlling stake in English football clubs? It means that the controlling shareholder can already override the club's board of directors, and this club belongs to him completely. He can immediately announce his withdrawal from the stock market, turning the original joint-stock limited company into a private clubhouse. You can also announce the club's new policies and future development plans as you like without going through the board of directors' review, including reconstruction, expansion, new stadiums, buying and selling people, and the appointment of high-level personnel at the club... In short, he is the emperor of this club. Can oppose any of his decisions.

Even if Evan said, "Starting from next season, the price of the Forest team's season tickets will increase by 300%, and the price of all beverages and food sold in the stadium will increase by 100%", then even though the fans will protest, this cannot be changed Decide.

Of course, Dunn believed that Evan would not be so stupid as that...

He looked at the league standings. The forest team has fallen to the bottom four due to consecutive losses. You must know that the last three teams will be relegated to the second division after the end of the season. If the forest team is really relegated, no matter how many shares Evan Dalgety has in his hands, it will be useless.

If he wants to turn the Forest team into a money-making machine for his personal service, he must let the team achieve good results.

Tang En knew that it was time for him to appear on the stage.

Evan! Give me a call and tell me you need me!

Tang En had just finished yelling in his heart when his cell phone rang.

"It can't be so accurate..." Dunn muttered and answered the phone.

It was indeed Evan Dalgety who called, but he didn't come to find Dunn to return to the city stadium, but to tell him an unexpected news.

"Tony, I just got a call that Collymore was beaten up in an alley outside a pub and is now in hospital. Do you know anything about it?"

"Ah?" Tang En was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, I don't know. Will this matter have any bad effects?" In fact, he really wanted to say, "Who beat you? I want to write him a thank you letter." ", but thinking about what happened when Evan just took control of the club, it will inevitably arouse some people's bad associations.

"Maybe, maybe not." But listening to Evan's voice, he didn't seem too worried. "I'll make a call to make sure. I'm afraid you have something to do with this matter."

Tang En thought of someone, and rolled his eyes: "No, how could it have something to do with me? You know I've been busy with Eastwood's affairs recently."

"Well, I'm relieved that it has nothing to do with you. Also, Tony...are you ready?"

"I've been preparing for half a year, Evan."

Amidst the laughter of the two, Evan hung up the phone.

Tang En got up to get dressed, even though it was nearly ten o'clock, he still had to go out.

Sophia looked at the old quartz clock hanging on the wall with some anxiety. The hour hand passed ten, the minute hand pointed to six, and it was half past ten.

An hour ago, she asked Wood to go shopping. With Wood's speed comparable to track and field athletes, it only takes more than half an hour to come back, but until now...

She heard a hasty knock on the door downstairs, walked quickly to the window, opened the curtains a crack, and the person knocking on the door downstairs surprised her——Tony Twain!

It's so late, what is Mr. Tang En doing here?

Sophia wanted to go down and open the door, but she turned back just as she reached the stairs. She returned to her room, stood in front of the mirror, picked up a comb and combed her hair again, although her hairstyle was not messed up. Then she leaned in front of the mirror and took a closer look, smoothing out the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. Finally, she re-examined herself in the mirror, and made sure that she could no longer find any faults in any aspect. With a happy smile like a little girl, she happily ran to open the door.

At this time, in order to wait for this woman who was surprised by Tang En's sudden visit to dress up, Tang En had stood in the cold wind for nearly a minute and knocked on the door three times.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave in disappointment, the door behind him creaked open. The light in the room leaked out and sprinkled under Tang En's feet. He looked down and saw the shadow of a woman standing inside the door.

He was a little surprised: "Ma'am?"

"Mr. Tang En, why are you here?" Sophia panted slightly, her cheeks were flushed, and her bright eyes were covered with a layer of mist. I don't know if it was because she was tired from running fast, or because of other reasons...

"Uh, I'm here to find... George, is he there?" In fact, Tang En already knew the answer when this question was asked.

Sophia opened the door, "He's gone shopping, please come in, Mr. Tang En, it's cold outside."

Tang En hesitated for a moment, but still walked in.

The tenants downstairs still haven't come back, maybe they are still working hard outside to make a living, now only he and this woman in front of him are in this house... Tang En's heart suddenly beat faster.

"Mr. Tang En, do you still not put anything in your black tea?" Sophia was making tea for Tang En.

"Yes... um, don't bother, ma'am, I'm leaving when I see George." Tang En planned to stop the enthusiastic hostess, but it was obviously useless. Sophia opened the refrigerator and took out two more boxes of biscuits, then she turned around and waved the biscuits at Tang En.

"Would you like cream, or chocolate?"

"It will be all right……"

So Sophia put both boxes of biscuits on the table, and went to the cupboard to get a plate. Seeing Sophia's happy and busy appearance, Tang En didn't persuade her any more, as long as she felt happy.

Before I knew her, how many times had she been so full of energy and had a smile on her face?

Sophia seemed to be trying to reach the top row of dishes in the cabinet, but she struggled to stand on her toes, and she still couldn't reach it with her outstretched arms. Tang En decided to help her.

He got up and walked behind Sophia, reached out and easily touched the row of plates.

"Do you want this, ma'am? Uh..." Tang En who asked this suddenly felt something was wrong...

Unknowingly, both of them unintentionally, their bodies were stuck together. Even though it's winter, they're all dressed up... but it's still awkward.

The room fell silent suddenly, and the dim light cast a hazy shadow on the wall beside the two of them. If Tang En lowered his raised hand, it would look as if he was hugging Sophia.

Sophia was not tall, and when Tang En stood behind her, her hair was right under Tang En's nose, and a faint fragrance came in through the soft hair, and he couldn't help taking a greedy breath.

Tang En felt the body next to him trembling slightly, he suddenly came back to his senses, stepped back quickly, and explained to Sophia somewhat at a loss: "I, I'm so sorry! I... I didn't do it on purpose, I'm sorry I'm sorry..." He was still holding the ceramic plate, waving it up and down, reflecting the light and making him look more like an acrobat.

Sophia was amused by him. "Can you give me the plate, Mr. Tang En?" She stretched out her hand naturally, but a red cloud quietly floated on her cheek.

Tang En looked at the plate in his hand in embarrassment, then handed it over.

Sophia stood in front of the table and lowered her head to fill the plate with biscuits. Her long black hair, which was casually arranged on her head, cascaded down like a waterfall. Seeing this scene, Tang En recalled the experience just now. Does the burst of fragrance come from the smooth thousands of black hair, or the exposed neck?

Closing his eyes, he suddenly became nostalgic for that feeling.

He could clearly feel that there was a burning flame clinging to him at that time, and the intoxicating aroma filled the air. If there was nothing, when you wanted to grab it, it slipped away from the tip of your nose. .

"It smells so good..." He sighed softly.

When Tang En opened his eyes again, he found Sophia was looking at him with a smile on his face. The biscuits had been set and the tea in the cup was overflowing.
