Chapter 742: Rich and Noble

At seven o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang on time.

Ye Qiu felt dizzy and felt that he had not slept enough. He stretched out his hand lazily, but found that he was hugging nothing. Then he realized that he was not at home in London, but back at home in Bailuzhou, Xiamen.

His wife, who he could hug every morning after getting up, could not accompany him back this time because she had to perform surgery on a British politician. Now he was alone at home, and his parents and two children lived in another house opposite.

Yawning, he took the phone, but found that the time was wrong, and then he realized that he forgot to adjust the time difference.

"Sleep a little longer!" Ye Qiu pulled up the quilt and continued to fall down with his head covered.

In a daze, he didn't know how long it had been, and he heard the sound of someone knocking on the door, and it was getting louder and louder.

"Dad, you lazy pig, get up, did you hear us, we are going to be late!"

Ye Qiu knew it was his son Ye Chen's voice as soon as he heard it. What was this brat shouting so early in the morning?

I got up, left the room, and came to the door. I was still yawning as I opened the door, "What are you arguing about?"

"It's past seven o'clock, I have to go to school!" Ye Chen's expression seemed to be asking, do you have a sense of time?

"Don't we have to read early now?" Ye Qiu suddenly sobered up, this is what he promised the two children.

He doesn't usually take care of children, but he always keeps his word. Before, Ye Chen and Huang Rong called him, and they made an appointment. After the National Day, Ye Qiu came back for a few days, and he would accompany them to school and pick them up after school every day.

"We have to go early even if we don't have to read early. We have to be at school before eight o'clock!" The daughter also looked angry, as if you don't understand the situation? How can a father be more ignorant than our two children?

"Okay, okay, give me... five minutes!" Ye Qiu bargained.

"No, at most two minutes!" Ye Chen bargained.

Ye Qiu nodded, "Two minutes is two minutes, wait for me!" After saying that, he turned and walked back to the room.

"Sister, which one is longer, two minutes or five minutes?" Ye Chen's question came from outside the room, almost making Ye Qiu fall headfirst. This brat didn't even know the length of time, and he was still bargaining?

"Stupid, of course five minutes is longer!" Huang Rong had the tone of a grown-up and sensible adult, "You don't know which one is longer, why did you say two minutes just now?"

Ye Chen laughed, and her expression must have been very cute at this time, "Sister, I was thinking that two must be smaller than five, so I said two minutes, how could I know which one is longer, I just said it casually!"

"Stupid!" Huang Rong laughed and scolded, this sentence has almost become this girl's catchphrase.

Ye Chen didn't mind, and laughed.

Soon, the grandparents opposite helped them bring their schoolbags over. Zhang Yuxiu was still complaining about Ye Qiu getting up late, saying what if he caused the two children to be late?

"Don't worry, I've researched it. I'll take the bus today!" Ye Qiu changed his clothes, put on a hooded sweater, and put on a pair of sunglasses. He looked very sporty and not easy to be recognized.

"Hurry up, the buses are very crowded at this time!" Ye Changming urged.

Ye Qiu made an OK gesture, holding a child in each hand and went out.

After going downstairs and leaving the community, he soon arrived at the bus stop outside the community. In the past, Ye Changming and his wife brought their two children here to take the bus, so the two kids were already familiar with the route, and even more familiar with it than Ye Qiu.

There was a newsstand near the bus stop. Ye Qiu went there to buy a sports weekly that was freshly released yesterday afternoon. He found that the front-page headline of the weekly was the news that Guardiola was going to take over Manchester United. He couldn't help but be surprised. Then he recalled that Ferguson invited Guardiola to watch the game at Old Trafford. Did they reach an agreement after he left?

"This old guy is very quick!" Ye Qiu smiled.

At this time, the bus came, so he put away the newspaper and took the two little kids on the bus.

"Aunt Yang, good morning!" Ye Chen and Huang Rong got on the bus. There were no seats left, but they found a seat and said hello to a woman in her thirties sitting on the seat. There was also a little boy sitting next to this woman.

"Ye Chen, Huang Rong, good morning!" The woman also smiled and greeted them, "Come, little Ye Chen, come sit over here, okay? Auntie will hold you, and little Huang Rong will sit with our little Zhen. It's hard to stand!"

"No, thank you, Auntie!" The two little kids answered in unison.

Ye Qiu watched silently, and he suddenly felt that these two lively kids were actually quite well-behaved and sensible. At this moment, he even thought that if he could take them to school like this every day and watch them grow up so sensible, smart and happy, that should be the greatest hope of every parent.

"Didn't grandpa and grandma come today? Did you go to school by yourself?" Aunt Yang asked with concern.

"No!" Huang Rong replied.

Ye Chen said with a little pride, "It's my dad who took us to school today."

"Oh!" Aunt Yang's son also attends the Experimental Primary School. She runs into Ye Chen and Huang Rong almost every day, and also knows Ye Changming and his wife, and even occasionally sees the beautiful Huang Chu, but this is the first time for their father.

After scanning around, she landed on Ye Qiu, who was wearing sunglasses. She felt that this person who was wearing sunglasses and couldn't see clearly looked very familiar, but for a while, she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.

Ye Qiu nodded and smiled at her and continued to look out the window.

The distance from Bailuzhou to the Experimental Primary School is only two or three kilometers. You can walk there, but the bus is even faster.

As soon as they arrived at the station, the primary school students and parents on the bus got off one after another. Only then did Ye Qiu realize that the roads entering the experimental primary school were almost blocked, and many parents who were picking up their children had to drive directly. Entering, the originally not spacious road was severely blocked.

"No wonder we have to take the bus!" Ye Qiu smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Yeah, it's really inconvenient to get here if you drive by yourself!" Ms. Yang smiled at Ye Qiu.

Two adults and three children crossed the road at the zebra crossing and entered the street where the experimental primary school is located.

"Are you not used to this kind of situation, Mr. Ye Qiu?" Ms. Yang asked again with a smile.

Ye Qiu was stunned after hearing this, "Do you recognize me?" He didn't feel honored to be recognized. He just felt that his disguise was a failure because he was recognized all of a sudden.

Ms. Yang smiled and took out her press card, "Occupational disease, I am a reporter from Haixi Metropolis Daily. When you arrived at Xiamen Airport yesterday, we received the news, but we didn't find you, and neither did I. Come to think of it, these two children I meet every morning are your children."

It’s no wonder that she is a reporter. Haixi Metropolis Daily is a very influential newspaper in southern Fujian. From Ms. Yang’s speech and behavior, it can be seen that she should have some status in this newspaper, so she was recognized. , Ye Qiu also felt that there was nothing he could do.

Ms. Yang also saw that Ye Qiu didn't want to be recognized, so she wisely kept silent. They took their children to the school gate. After sending them in, the two walked out side by side. Ye Qiu planned to walk back. Went for a walk while she was probably going to work.

"Mr. Ye, I wonder if I can report today's events?" Ms. Yang asked with a smile, "Don't worry, I will keep the details confidential and will not reveal any information."

After hearing this, Ye Qiu smiled and said, "Whatever, there's no secret anyway, but don't affect my child."

"Thank you!" Ms. Yang was in a good mood after hearing this. I'm afraid she had already organized it in her mind to see how she would write this article. If there were no accidents, this article would be spread throughout major media and newspapers. and website, for which she would also become famous.

Now, she really believes in one thing, good people get rewarded.

She met Ye Chen and Huang Rong on the bus. At that time, Zhang Yuxiu took two children to school, but there was only one seat left on the bus. The two children very wisely insisted on letting their grandmother sit, and then She was standing by herself, and after Zhang Yuxiu sat on it, she could hug him. Huang Rong took the initiative to give it to her brother, saying that she would be fine if she stood for a while.

It was this scene that deeply touched her as a reporter. After returning to the newspaper office, she wrote an article about the scene she saw on the bus, which aroused quite a response. Later, she gradually I got to know them well and heard some things about them, such as my parents are abroad and so on.

She never thought that their father would be Ye Qiu, and she also never thought that she would have the opportunity to meet Ye Qiu and have a brief interview with him, which made her feel incredible.

The two of them found a place to sit down nearby, and Ye Qiu also answered a few questions casually. For example, it was his first time to send his children to school. He felt that the congestion was very new because it didn't exist abroad, but he didn't think so. This is a kind of problem that I don’t even think should be mentioned on the line, because everyone attaches great importance to children and wants the best for their children, including him.

Regarding his two children, Ye Qiu also said that he has always felt that he owes a lot. There is no way for them to have a father to pick them up and drop them off like normal ordinary children, to have a father to attend parent-teacher meetings, to organize activities in the school, and to have parents. He was accompanied by others, but he felt that both children were relatively sensible.

This was also highly praised by Ms. Yang. She even searched for the article she wrote a few months ago on her mobile phone and gave it to Ye Qiu to read. Ye Qiu was deeply moved after reading it.

This is not so much an exclusive interview as it is some discussion about children between a mother and a father. From Ms. Yang’s mouth, Ye Qiu also learned a lot of things he didn’t know, which made him have a deeper understanding of himself. The two children have become more familiar with each other.

"Sometimes, they deliberately behave badly or even naughty in front of you. Maybe they just want to attract your attention to them and make you love them more!"

…………

…………

Ye Qiu returned to China and accepted an exclusive interview with a reporter from Haixi Metropolis Daily. This interview immediately aroused a huge response on the Internet in less than a day. Countless fans and non-fans were discussing the matter enthusiastically. thing.

This is not like an exclusive interview with Ye Qiu at all, because there is almost no football involved in it, and it is all about topics about children. This is also the first time among Ye Qiu’s many exclusive interviews, because people who follow Ye Qiu Basically it was all because of football, but after this interview was published, everyone realized that Ye Qiu was also the father of two children.

With this exclusive interview as the beginning, Ye Qiu couldn't resist the invitation of Chen Jun, a famous reporter from CCTV. He went to BJ to participate in a popular interview program, and took the initiative to talk about many things in the program, such as himself as a The father owes his two children from the bottom of his heart and so on.

It was also in this exclusive interview that Ye Qiu revealed for the first time with certainty that he would seriously consider leaving the position of head coach because he hoped to spend more time taking care of his two children.

Now, whether it is Tottenham Hotspur or Leaf Technology, Ye Qiu basically does not need to manage it. There are dedicated personnel in charge. Therefore, once Ye Qiu leaves the position of head coach, he will consider doing other things. For example, in addition to taking care of children, he may spend more time doing charity, etc.

After Ye Qiu left BJ and returned to London, the program he participated in was first broadcast on CCTV, which immediately caused an uproar among the fans. No one thought that Ye Qiu would retire at such a young age, but more People are supportive. After all, family is more important than anything else. Especially as Ye Qiu mentioned in the interview, his parents, father-in-law, and mother-in-law have been in poor health in the past few years and need people to take care of them. .

The news about Ye Qiu's retirement soon spread from China to abroad. Thirty-six years old is definitely not an age to retire, and many people are also clearly aware that if Tottenham Hotspur does not have Ye Qiu, It is equivalent to Manchester United losing Ferguson, which will definitely be a blockbuster for Tottenham Hotspur.

It may even cause the empire that Tottenham Hotspur has worked so hard to build over the past few years to collapse overnight.

But after Ye Qiu returned to London, he accepted an interview with Tottenham Hotspur TV. He said that he did have plans to retire, but it would not be this season because he hoped to lead the team in the Stratford-upon-Avon. Ford Stadium, that has been his long-cherished wish to lead Tottenham Hotspur.

And Ye Qiu also called on the fans to be calm and rational. Even if he withdraws, he will definitely arrange everything properly before withdrawing.

"Our Tottenham Hotspur team is a team with a mature and professional operating mechanism. Whether it is in the administrative business department or in the competitive field, we have a complete set of professional teams in charge. Therefore, I am seriously not satisfied. I agree with those who say that without Ye Qiu, Tottenham Hotspur will collapse."

"What I want to say is that Ye Qiu is just one of the stars in Tottenham Hotspur's century-old history. With or without him, Tottenham Hotspur will be as dazzling as ever!"

At the same time, Ye Qiu also immediately called a meeting with all the team's players and staff after the team resumed training, once again reiterated his intention to not retire in the short term and stabilized the team's morale.

Because after the two weeks of national team matches, Tottenham Hotspur will face Mourinho's Chelsea.

Tottenham Hotspur started this season with seven consecutive wins, while Mourinho's Chelsea started with six wins and one draw. They are currently the only two teams that can catch up with Tottenham Hotspur. As for Manchester City, Mancini has become Manchester City's biggest problem, while Benitez's Liverpool fell behind in the beginning because of a terrible starting schedule, encountering teams such as Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United.

Another team that performed well was West Ham United. Ranieri's team also won seven consecutive league games in seven games. However, in these seven games, the only opponent West Ham United encountered that was relatively strong was Arsenal. From this point, it is not difficult to see that West Ham United's so-called seven-game winning streak does not contain much gold.

However, West Ham United was able to rank second in the Premier League after Tottenham Hotspur after seven rounds. Ranieri's team also proved itself with its strength. Hammers fans all hope that the ball will The team can maintain this ranking very well.

There are too many unfavorable factors for Tottenham Hotspur during the two weeks of national team matches, including Cavani, Messi and other international players traveling back and forth between South America and Europe. This is a huge disadvantage for Tottenham Hotspur players. His physical fitness and condition will be a big test, especially when the opponent is a strong enemy like Chelsea.

However, Chelsea currently has its own problems. For example, the team's top central defender and captain Terry was suspended for four games and fined 220,000 pounds by the Football Association for an inappropriate speech last season that involved racial discrimination.

A fine is a small matter, but a ban is a big deal, because among Chelsea's current central defenders, Gary Cahill and David Luiz, no matter who they are, partnering with Terry, the effect is very good, but once these two central defenders team up, then It's a big discount, so without Terry, it's a suspense how Chelsea's central defender combination will be arranged.

But in the past two weeks of national team matches, Tottenham Hotspur has not been without good news.

For example, the team's CEO Peter Kenyon was officially recommended by the Football Association as one of the two vice-presidents at the Football Association meeting on October 19. He will also become one of the two vice-presidents of the Football Association meeting in London next May. On the UEFA Executive Committee, as a representative of the Football Association, he became one of the UEFA Executive Committee members.

In other words, Tottenham Hotspur's CEO has officially entered the core power levels of the FA and UEFA.

There was an uproar around the world, wondering if there was a conflict of interest. After all, one party was the CEO of Tottenham Hotspur, and the other party was the vice-chairman of the Football Association and the executive committee member of UEFA. Regarding this, the British Domestic reaction has been relatively muted.

The reason is simple. The FA can no longer interfere with the Premier League except for a small part of its power such as schedule arrangement and disciplinary punishment. Inviting Peter Kenyon to join is more about business development. The business development ability of Manchester people is obvious to all. He has made great contributions to Tottenham Hotspur's achievements in the past few seasons.

If it is not Peter Kenyon, the other one must be David Gill, which is also a conflict of interest.

Even the chairman David Bernstein is the former chairman of Manchester City. In addition, the current board members and many management are executives of English clubs. David Dunn used to be the vice chairman of Arsenal and the vice chairman of the FA.

For this situation, everyone has become accustomed to it. They are more looking forward to Peter Kenyon taking over the FA to bring more changes to this organization, English football and the league.

But one thing is very clear. If Tottenham Hotspur only had achievements but no status and power before, then since Peter Kenyon took over the English Football Association and became a member of the UEFA Executive Committee, their status has finally gotten rid of the civilian status and transformed into aristocracy.

At this moment, Tottenham Hotspur has finally become a real aristocratic family!
