"What?" Li Ang exclaimed.
Old Arango sighed and nodded, which meant that he did not hear wrongly. It was true.
Li Ang was silent. He was completely shocked by the sudden news, and then a little sad.
Manuel Arango told him a piece of bad news. The club's general manager, Mr. Alexandre Elroyd, had been diagnosed with liver cancer, which was already in the late stages.
Li Ang felt his chest tighten. Elroyd had always supported him and took care of him. Li Ang's personality and temper, including his battle with the media, had caused some trouble for the club. Elroyd had to clean up after him. The club's vice chairman, Beretta, had always questioned Li Ang, and Elroyd also stood firmly behind Li Ang.
The two men had worked together for half a year quite happily. Elroyd was an old official of Sporting de Gijón. Although Sporting de Gijón's current poor financial situation, including the decline of the Maleo training base in the past two years, had something to do with Elroyd's mediocre ability. However, regardless of ability itself, Elroyd had always been conscientious. It could be said that he had dedicated all his energy to the club and his beloved team.
The two men had met the day before yesterday. Elroyd was furious about Daily Sports' slandering of Li Ang. He had directly arranged for the company's legal department to 'seek justice' for Li Ang. He had also issued a statement in the name of the club to support Li Ang. He had not expected that things would change. In just two days, he had received this bad news.
"Where is Alexandre now? In the hospital? "Li Ang asked.
"In the hospital." Old Arango nodded.
Li Ang nodded silently. He wanted to take some time to see Elroyd.
As if he had guessed Li Ang's thoughts, old Arango said, "Alexandre said that if you want to see him, wait until after the game against Zaragoza."
Li Ang took a deep breath. He knew that Elroyd did not want to affect Li Ang's preparation for the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-final against Zaragoza. As the general manager of Sporting de Gijón, Elroyd knew the importance of this game better than anyone else. He also looked forward to Sporting de Gijón eliminating Zaragoza and reaching the Copa del Rey final.
"I'll visit him with the tickets for the Copa del Rey final," Li Ang said. This was a promise!
"Relax." Old Arango patted Li Ang's shoulder. "Alexandre wants to see a high-spirited Li Ang!"
At the same time, old Arango was also pleased. Li Ang had only been in Sporting de Gijón for less than half a year and had not worked with Elroyd for a long time. However, he could see that the bad news made Li Ang very sad. This showed that this Chinese man was a very sentimental person.
*****
The club was a machine that was running and would not stop because of Elroyd's illness.
Li Ang was sad, but he was also concerned about who would take over the position of general manager.
Among the other senior members of the club, Beretta's information was the oldest. According to convention, Beretta was most likely to be the general manager of the club. If that was the case, it would be very bad. Li Ang's relationship with Beretta was quite bad. If Beretta became the general manager of the club and held the power, then Li Ang's work would be restricted everywhere.
"Alexandre's work will be taken over by Venita," old Arango glanced at his baby daughter and suddenly said.
"Ah?" Li Ang was stunned. Was it not that old guy Beretta? It was actually Venita Arango, Venita?!
Seeing Li Ang's reaction, Venita was not happy. What do you mean? Don't you trust my ability?
Pa!
Venita angrily took out a stack of things from her bag and handed it to Li Ang.
"What?" Li Ang did not understand.
"Look at it yourself," Venita said with a pout.
Li Ang took it and looked at it a few times. He was shocked.
Bachelor's degree in law from the Autonomous University of Madrid.
Bachelor's degree in psychology from the Autonomous University of Madrid.
Bachelor's degree in economics from the Autonomous University of Madrid.
Li Ang looked at Venita with great surprise. He was really surprised. The Universidad Autonoma de Madrid was one of the three best universities in Spain. It was ranked more than 150 in the world, second only to the University of Barcelona, which was ranked more than 100. It was one of the Ivy League universities in Spain.
It was not easy to be admitted to the Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, but he did not expect this girl to have three bachelor's degrees.
Seeing Li Ang's surprised look, Venita proudly raised her delicate chin.
"Venita is now studying for a master's degree in business administration from the University of Barcelona!" Old Arango looked at his little angel dotingly and said proudly.
Venita snorted.
*****
Li Ang smiled bitterly. It seemed that his expression just now made Venita very dissatisfied. She thought that he doubted her ability. In fact, Li Ang was surprised that old Arango chose such a young Venita to be the club's general manager, instead of the club's vice chairman, Beretta, who was more qualified. On the other hand, Li Ang did have some doubts about Venita's ability. She was too young. A girl in her early twenties to be the club's general manager was really incredible.
However, now that he saw Venita's' proud proof of her academic qualifications, 'he did not expect this girl to be a real top student. Li Ang also had a whole new level of respect for Venita. In addition, Sporting de Gijón could be said to be the club under the absolute control of the Arango family. It seemed reasonable that the chairman chose his daughter to be the club's general manager. Li Ang understood the conflict between the club's vice chairman, Beretta, and the club's chairman, Manuel Arango. He also sighed at old Arango's courage. Arango did not give Beretta a chance to make a fuss when Arroyd was seriously ill. He directly arranged his daughter to be in such an important position. In terms of closeness, Arroyd was not as close as Venita and old Arango. They were a family.
Li Ang digested the news and calmed down. He extended his right hand to Venita. "Miss Arango, it's a pleasure to work with you."
Venita rolled her eyes at Li Ang and shook hands with Li Ang. "It's a pleasure to work with you."
Li Ang let out a sigh of relief. In any case, it was better to deal with Venita than to deal with that old guy, Beretta. Moreover, he had a good relationship with Venita. However, when he thought that he would have to deal with Venita often in the future, it felt strange that they would suddenly become close colleagues from friends.
"Is it official now?" Li Ang asked Venita with a smile.
"Of course," Venita said with a smile.
Li Ang did not forget about the business. He took out the faxes and handed them to Venita. "Here are a few faxes. Take a look."
Venita looked at Li Ang in surprise and blinked her beautiful eyes. She did not expect Li Ang to start a business discussion with her. She took the faxes and looked at them seriously.
Li Ang looked at the girl who was in deep thought and felt that she had a special kind of beauty.
Arango, the chairman of the club, looked at this scene with a smile and did not say anything. As the chairman of the club, he naturally had the faxes that Li Ang brought over on his desk. He had his own considerations. However, Arango wanted to hear his daughter's opinion at this time. This was also an observation and test for Venita.
Li Ang stretched out his hand to the chairman. "Mr. Chairman, where are my cigars?"
"Haha, come, come, have a taste of my cigars." Arango knew that Li Ang had something to say. He took out a box of cigars and led Li Ang out to smoke.
Looking at the backs of her father and Li Ang in the corridor, Venita's mouth curved into a beautiful smile.
