This trip to Manchester, my girlfriend had to quit her beloved job.
She hopes to continue working as a nurse locally in the United Kingdom, continuing her career, rather than becoming a football star’s full-time wife who only shops.
"Oh my God, is this real!"
The wife exclaimed in excitement.
Earlier, seeing her husband standing still answering the phone, the woman’s suspicion made her lean in to listen.
The more she listened, the happier she became, until she heard that she could continue to be a nurse in the United Kingdom, her mood soared to the peak, and she hugged her boyfriend tightly.
"Darling, let’s not go to Manchester United, let’s just go to Manchester City, shall we?"
Their four-year-old daughter watched as her mom suddenly hugged her dad, not knowing what was happening, just giggling foolishly on the side.
-(Flight RG7682 to Manchester has begun boarding, please board the plane in an orderly manner!)
The announcement sounded, and passengers in the waiting room got up one after another, heading to the boarding gate with their large and small bags.
"Alright! Mr. Belgistan, I am willing to sign a five-year contract with Manchester City, I’m about to board, see you in Manchester!"
"Okay, I’m right beside Ossilio, I’ve got your original contract with Inter sorted, don’t worry about housing either, by the way, I’ll send you a phone number now, when you arrive in Manchester City, contact our colleague, you’ll be taken to the medical room by car, if everything’s fine, you’ll sign the new contract that day, have a pleasant journey! Remember, after landing, don’t answer any calls from Manchester United! Alright, I’m done, goodbye!"
"Mr. Belgistan, please tell Director Ossilio that when he comes to Manchester City, I’ll treat him to coffee."
Hanging up the phone, Ranocchia walked excitedly down the boarding corridor, wanting to do a sliding knee celebration!
"Let’s go, we’re going to Manchester!"
The three of them laughed as they boarded the plane.
Ranocchia thought, wondering if in this new Premier League season, he could become teammates with Tang Long?
Judging by Manchester City’s operations director’s style, Ranocchia felt the chances were high.
Thinking of this, the handsome Italian was full of energy, as if he was stepping on the grass of the Etihad Stadium instead of the airplane’s carpet.
Mr. Belgistan took a deep breath! Then wiped the dense sweat from his forehead.
This hijacking was too thrilling!
It was simply like a high-speed life-or-death delivery!
If he hadn’t taken a private plane from Manchester to Milan at the first opportunity, taking less than an hour to sign off all the transfer details, and then contacted Ranocchia immediately, if they had delayed even one more hour, Ranocchia would have boarded the plane, lost signal, and once the plane landed, Manchester United might have taken him away.
Once a person falls into their hands, it’s hard to say what might happen!
Even though he tried to remain calm in the conversation with Ranocchia earlier, he was actually very nervous inside.
If he couldn’t persuade him in the shortest time, once the plane took off, it would have been over.
Since coming to Manchester City Club, it was Mr. Belgistan’s first time doing such a thing, and it turned out to be much smoother than he had imagined.
He and Ossilio high-fived in celebration!
"How about that, my method wasn’t too bad, was it? I knew what he needed, and providing that was the key. Southern Italians emphasize family emotions, which is different from you British folks, some things money can’t buy, this is what they fall for! Did you hear him, he was cursing me a moment ago, now he’s going to treat me to coffee." Ossilio laughed.
"You’re really something," Mr. Belgistan gave Ossilio a thumbs up, "Looks like Manchester United didn’t quite offer the same warmth, they didn’t provide what I mentioned."
Ossilio said, "If Ferguson, Old Sir, were still at Manchester United, he’d probably think more thoroughly than me, but Van Gaal doesn’t consider these things, that’s the gap between him and Ferguson."
Mr. Belgistan said, "This was our first collaboration in the summer window, a great start, I hope our subsequent transfers concerning Tang can also go smoothly."
Ossilio showed his sly smile again.
"Tang’s situation is very special, you’ll need to show even more sincerity."
The flight from Benevento, carrying Ranocchia and his family, landed at Manchester Airport.
As soon as Ranocchia landed, he called the number given to him.
Following the instructions, he didn’t head directly to the exit, where Manchester United’s pick-up personnel were waiting, but instead, after collecting checked luggage, he left through a small side door, got into a black MPV, and headed directly to Manchester City Club’s medical laboratory for a check-up.
It wasn’t until Ranocchia quickly passed the medical examination and signed the contract.
Manchester United’s staff were still anxiously waiting at the airport, continuously dialing Ranocchia’s phone.
"Where is he! Where did he go? By logic, a guy that big should be easy to spot, he can’t be lost, can he?"
