On the morning of December 11th, Sylvia, who was wearing a nightgown, put the breakfast she had made on the table in the dining room. Then she sat in her seat, and there was a laptop on the table. She browsed through the files on the computer with a serious expression.
Qin Xiong put on his clothes and came downstairs. He had just come out of his son Qin Ye's room. The little guy was still sleeping. He sat next to the crib for ten minutes before leaving with a happy mood.
He went downstairs to the dining room and walked behind Sylvia. He bent down and kissed her gently on the cheek. Seeing that she was browsing the files on the computer, he said, "Have you been busy with work recently?"
Sylvia had been managing business investments for him over the years. Although she did not take care of everything personally, there were still times when she was busy all year round. Sometimes she would go on short-term business trips to personally inspect the progress of investment projects.
After Qin Xiong sat down at the head of the table and began to eat breakfast, Sylvia raised her head and smiled at him. "Not very busy. By the way, the nightclubs in Shanghai have made a lot of profits in the past two years. Your teammates on the national team have proposed to open branches in other cities. What do you think?"
Qin Xiong smiled and said, "You decide."
Sylvia helplessly rolled her eyes at him. Because of Qin Xiong's fame and appeal as an investor, the nightclubs he had invested in had the brand influence to open branches. Naturally, everyone was most enthusiastic about making money. The teammates on the national team who had invested in the nightclubs all hoped to use this career as a guarantee for their lives. Even if they retired in the future, they could still have a steady stream of high income so that they could continue to pursue what they wanted to do.
Sylvia continued, "Liu Yi and Zhang Pengfei have proposed to partner with you to open a football-themed bar. What do you think? Maybe you only need to appear in the bar once a year. It can be considered as a commercial promotion. If you manage it well, you can open several more bars like this in the future. What do you think? "
Qin Xiong was still smiling and said, "You decide."
Sylvia simply rolled her eyes this time, but her eyes were full of smiles.
"The winery we bought in France has started to make profits. Some of the famous wines we invested in are also appreciating. Do you want to increase the investment?"
"You decide."
"In the past five years, a total of 73 pieces of art have been purchased and collected. My idea is that instead of collecting them, we should open an art museum and display these collections. Apart from the operating costs, the profits will be donated to charity organizations. Or we can simply set up a charity fund and find a professional organization to operate it. If there are buyers who are interested in our collections and the price is right, we can also sell them. What do you think?"
"You decide."
"If you really want to open an art museum, why don't you set up an exhibition hall and display your paintings? It's for charity anyway."
"You make the decision … eh? Wait, there's no need for that. "
Hearing Qin Xiong suddenly change his words as if he was startled, Sylvia covered her mouth and chuckled.
She nodded with a smile and said, "This is really my idea. You don't have to be shy. You've accumulated so many paintings from the past few years. Some of them are really good. It's not a big deal to display them. It can also let the outside world know that my dear can not only play football, but also paint well. In this way, people will definitely say that my dear has an artistic temperament in life other than on the field."
Qin Xiong shook his head with a wry smile and finally said, "Well, you decide."
Sylvia closed her laptop and stopped smiling. She asked softly, "You're about to play against Arsenal. How are you feeling?"
Qin Xiong stopped eating breakfast and said frankly, "It's a bit complicated."
"Yes, after all, we're not meeting in the Champions League, but in the Premier League. Dear, I know Arsenal is special in your heart, but you don't owe Arsenal anything. In fact, this is like our life. We can't always have everything go our way. Don't care too much about the past, and don't take things that don't belong to you too seriously. That will make you unhappy. "
Qin Xiong picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. He got up and walked to Sylvia's side. He lowered his head and gently kissed her lips. After a long time, Qin Xiong held her delicate and soft face and whispered, "I understand. Don't worry about me. In fact, it's nothing at all."
Sylvia put her arms around his neck and gently rubbed his cheek with her tender face. She said, "Well, my dear, you go to work. I'll take our son to watch your game this weekend."
Qin Xiong let go of her and kissed her goodbye. He went to the garage and drove his Bentley to the Melwood Training Ground.
He was about to face Arsenal. In fact, his mood was not the same as it was in the past.
This complicated feeling was no longer the regret of wanting to be loyal to Arsenal for the rest of his life. It had become that he and Arsenal did not owe each other anything.
He had made a significant contribution to Arsenal's final peak of glory so far. Even if his choice of transfer hurt Arsenal, then his appearance was offset and they did not owe each other anything.
Therefore, he did not want to see or hear any criticism from Arsenal. He did not want to tolerate it, even if it was from the fans.
The opponent's fans could boo him and disturb him. But if they still used the reason of his transfer to attack him, sorry, Qin Xiong would not keep silent again.
Before leaving for Liverpool on the weekend, the Arsenal manager, Wenger, attended a pre-match press conference in North London. He looked forward to the weekend's peak showdown.
"Liverpool has been playing very well recently, and we are treading on thin ice. The reason why we are so careful mentally is because Arsenal has lost to Chelsea and Manchester United in the previous games. We need to win a heavyweight match. I don't want the players to bring their nervousness to the field. The players are completely focused on the game. We need a victory to rekindle our confidence in the title race. When Chelsea and Manchester United are in trouble, I know we have to win at Anfield to narrow the gap. I hope we can do it! "
Speaking about the Premier League title race this season, Wenger said, "A team that wants to win the title must maintain a consistent and stable performance. But so far, no team has been able to do that. In my opinion, the Premier League title race is not just about three teams. Aston Villa, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur can all create miracles. Whoever wants to win the title must work hard. Chelsea has lost points now and I believe it will continue to lose points in the future. Many teams with a certain strength will stop the Blues, such as Liverpool. Qin Xiong and Torres are back. Gerard is also getting better. Anfield will be a nightmare for many teams. Arsenal is in good form now. As long as they can maintain a stable performance, we will still be the strongest contender for the Premier League title. "
