Chapter 1 After the Game with Bolton

After the game against Bolton, as usual, it was the international match day, and the league was suspended.

Liverpool was now strong and had many international players from various countries. Therefore, during the international match day, Melwood would become a lot quieter in an instant, as everyone went to serve their country.

Only Chen Hero was idle, training with the youth team and the reserves.

But it wasn't entirely idle. A film crew from a provincial TV station in China came to Liverpool specifically to film his life and training in Liverpool, to make a documentary that would be broadcast on their TV station.

The interview was initiated by the TV station, which contacted Chen Hero's management team and requested to interview Chen Hero and shoot a documentary. Chen Hero's management team handled it officially, saying that filming a documentary was possible, but they needed to pay—Chen Hero was now a treasure, and all media interviews required payment. The fees varied depending on the project. Text interviews were the cheapest, adding money if they wanted to take photos with Chen Hero. As for following him with a camera for several days, that was even more expensive. Even so, the media applying to interview Chen Hero was still endless, so even with the fees, Chen Hero's management team had to screen and identify, and it wasn't like anyone could come to interview Chen Hero as long as they paid the money.

The other party was quite straightforward and didn't haggle over the money, paying the money to obtain the qualification for the interview.

But soon Chen Hero felt that this wasn't a good thing, but a hassle.

The person in charge of interviewing Chen Hero was a female reporter, average-looking, the type who could be considered a beauty with makeup, but would disappear into the crowd without makeup. But this one had a great sense of self-importance. Every time she interviewed Chen Hero, she would always walk around in front of him dressed very sexily, wearing a deep-v-neck fashionable knit shirt and a butt-skimming short skirt, and she would often bend over and stick her butt out, as if afraid others wouldn't see the two lumps of meat in her chest and the little black lace under her short skirt...

But her flirtatious glances were wasted on a blind man. Chen Hero wasn't interested in this woman—he did like beautiful women, but that didn't mean he liked all beautiful women. He wasn't so desperate that he would eat anything.

In addition, this woman relied on her good looks and had a very good sense of self-importance. Chen Hero hated this kind of person the most—ever since he became famous, there were always all kinds of women with a good sense of self-importance flying around him, wanting to attract his attention, and it would be even better if they could get involved with him in some unclear relationship. But after the incident with the female anchor in Naples, Chen Hero was now very careful about this kind of thing. He didn't want to be used by others as a tool for fame and promotion again. He knew very well what this female reporter was trying to do by flirting with him. If she could create some incidents with him while interviewing him in Liverpool, she would become even more famous after returning to China, which would be of great benefit to her future.

This female reporter always seemed very intimate intentionally or unintentionally during the interview, and even the way she addressed him was nauseating. Something like "Little Hero"... Even Chen Hero's parents had never called him that. Chen Hero shuddered when he heard it, and then asked her if she could change the way she addressed him.

The female reporter chuckled and said, "Don't you think this can bring us closer?"

It must be said that this female reporter was also a figure, having interviewed many celebrities. She was also an active member on Weibo, known as a "female knight," and had strong social skills.

But this didn't work on Chen Hero.

Chen Hero rolled his eyes and said frankly, "I think this can only distance our relationship."

The female reporter obviously didn't expect that Chen Hero, as a man, would be so lacking in manners and block her so directly. She was stunned for a moment, but as a reporter who had seen big scenes, the expression on her face immediately recovered, and she spread her hands with a smile: "Okay, then what do you want me to call you?"

Actually, she had already been gnashing her teeth in her heart—over the years, relying on her good looks, knowing how to dress, and being good at acting cute and being overly familiar with people, she had a lot of male fans for a time, including various celebrities, and was naturally cared for like a star surrounded by the moon. It had been a long time since she had been treated like this by a man, and the men around her had naturally raised her "princess syndrome," feeling that everyone in the world should spoil her, and if they didn't spoil her, then it must be the other party's problem.

Now that Chen Hero was so disrespectful to her, there must be something wrong if she could still pretend that nothing had happened...

The fact that she could still smile and interview Chen Hero now could only mean that she still had some professional ethics, and wouldn't slam the table and turn around to leave.

"You can call me Hero, or Chen Hero. Just don't call me that. That title makes me very uncomfortable."

Chen Hero really didn't give her any face at all. His words were so stiff that a woman with a thin face would probably have tears in her eyes and a face full of grievance at this time.

In fact, doing so wasn't just for women with thin skin. Women with deep scheming would do the same.

Like the one in front of him. As soon as she saw that Chen Hero's tone was so harsh, her eyes immediately filled with tears, as if they could fall down at any time.

The black, long, thick, and dense false eyelashes fluttered, and tears were about to stick to them.

Chen Hero found it very disgusting—why was she crying for no reason during the interview?

This female reporter's plan was that men would soften as soon as they saw a woman crying. She had used this trick before and it had never failed.

But she really chose the wrong opponent today...

Chen Hero might soften for his own woman's crying, but he would never soften for the crying of a woman he had only met for two hours.

Seeing the female reporter opposite him suddenly start crying, he turned his head to look at the cameraman, pointed at the female reporter, and asked, "What's wrong with her?"

The cameraman was also very embarrassed—as a colleague who often ran errands with the female reporter, he naturally knew the female reporter's problems. Although the two of them were partners at work, their relationship wasn't good. Because this princess of the TV station never looked at him directly. Her eyes were only on those famous intellectuals, business tycoons, famous lawyers, and artists who played with art that people couldn't understand... He and the cameraman weren't on the same path.

The two people together were completely just the most basic working relationship.

Therefore, he couldn't stand this woman. But he couldn't stand it, but this was a matter of his own family, could he tell Chen Hero? He couldn't.

The two colleagues who were responsible for setting up the lights and holding the microphone looked at each other, and the atmosphere was as awkward as it could be.

In the end, the cameraman stood up. He put down the camera and comforted the female reporter, "Sister Zou... Sister Zou..." He winked hard at the female reporter he called "Sister Zou."

When Chen Hero saw his hesitant look, he knew that some things were probably not good to say in front of him.

So he got up and said to them, "I'll go out to make a phone call. You guys chat slowly."

After speaking, he took his phone and walked out of the interview room.

※※※

He wasn't really making an excuse. He really came out to make a phone call.

Chen Hero dialed Dekura's phone and scolded him head-on: "What's going on, Dekura? You're letting any Tom, Dick, or Harry in. I'm not attracting flies to my shit! Don't let this kind of person in again in the future!"

Chen Hero was really full of fire. A film crew came inexplicably, saying they wanted to shoot a documentary for him. He didn't expect that a woman who wanted to use him to get to the next level would come...

This immediately reminded him of the past in Naples. That incident had always left some uncomfortable traces in his heart, and now these traces had been turned out again.

He hated being used, especially being used in this matter, and hated even more being used in this matter by someone he didn't like.

That reporter had all three things.

No wonder he was so angry.

Dekura didn't understand what had happened at first. After Chen Hero finished telling the story, Dekura said that he would call the TV station over there.

※※※

When Chen Hero was outside the door lecturing Dekura, Reporter Zou was inside the room venting her anger on a group of subordinates.

"This job is impossible to do! Being a reporter means putting up with the officials, the Press and Publication Administration! Putting up with the sponsors! Now we have to put up with the interviewees! I quit! I quit!!"

She waved her arms and shouted. Where was the princess-like appearance of being surrounded by men?

The three colleagues next to her didn't know what to say, and just looked at each other.

The cameraman originally wanted to persuade her, but now that he saw her like this, he couldn't open his mouth.

The three people looked at her and muttered in their hearts: "Damn you! It's not like we're the ones making you angry. Why are you venting your anger on us?! If you have the ability, go get angry at Hero! You only know how to put on airs in front of us..."

※※※

Soon, Dekura called back: "The TV station said they want to investigate. They've already called that female reporter."

"Damn it, what's there to investigate? Tell them to change the person! If they don't change, then refund their money. I won't accept their interview, and put their entire TV station on the blacklist!"

Chen Hero was disgusted, but how could the TV station give up this opportunity to shoot a documentary for Chen Hero so easily? No one in the country had done this plan yet, including China Central Television.

If they could take back such a detailed documentary recording Chen Hero's life and training, as well as his popularity in Liverpool, it would definitely be well received. At that time, the ratings would go up, and the advertising sponsors would naturally favor them.

In fact, the people at the TV station also knew what kind of person Reporter Zou was. Who in the circle didn't know her reputation?

But, usually, everyone has to save face, and some things can't be said too clearly.

So when Dekura called to complain about the reporter harassing the interviewee, the leaders of the station felt that this was very likely to be true, but the procedures that should be followed still had to be followed.

Therefore, while Reporter Zou was making a fuss in the room, she received a call from the station.

Wasn't Reporter Zou still shouting "I quit, I quit" just now? Well, this came true.

In fact, she was saying this, but she didn't really think so in her heart. She hoped that the station would call her, expressing their support for her work, and also comforting her for being hurt by her work... If you ask her where she was hurt, it was naturally in her heart. If they could also promise some rewards and benefits, that would be even better...

But she didn't expect that the leader who called would scold her severely. In the end, he said something that made her heart half cold: "You go back to China immediately. This interview doesn't need you to be responsible for it anymore!"

She really quit... Oh no, she couldn't do it anymore...

The leaders knew what kind of person this reporter was, so what Chen Hero said wasn't a lie. In addition, they had worked hard to get this interview opportunity, and they had been planning this topic for a long time. It would be a pity to give it up because of a reporter. Chen Hero's agent's attitude on the phone was very tough, saying that if this matter wasn't handled properly, Chen Hero would refuse to accept their interview, not only this time, but also all of this TV station's interviews in the future. Whether it was abroad or in China, he wouldn't accept it.

This could be considered a hit to the TV station's weakness...

So the leaders had to abandon the pawn to save the chariot.

It was too uneconomical to offend the most popular star in China for the sake of one of their employees... Besides, they had already bragged to those sponsors about this topic. If it didn't succeed in the end, how would they cooperate with the advertising sponsors?

When Reporter Zou heard this decision, she could hardly believe her ears.

She was abandoned like this?

Moreover, not only was she not allowed to participate in this interview, but she also had to write a review for the leaders after returning to China. Only then would this matter be over.

The other three colleagues, although they couldn't hear what the leaders on the other end of the phone were saying, could guess what was going on from Reporter Zou's appearance.

The three people looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. It wasn't easy to serve this mistress. Relying on her fame, she really treated the other three colleagues like cows and horses.

Now that they heard that she was going to be transferred back, they were all cheering in their hearts.

The leaders were wise!

※※※

"The problem has been solved, Hero. They decided to change the person." Dekura reported the results of the matter to Chen Hero on the phone.

Only then did Chen Hero calm down.

"They better change to a reliable person."

※※※

Although Chen Hero didn't want to see that female reporter again, since they were in his house, he couldn't just ignore them, so he had to push the door open and go in.

He pushed the door open and saw Reporter Zou waiting for him with an unkind expression.

There were some dark circles under her eyes, it seemed that the eye shadow and mascara were blurred by tears.

Chen Hero smiled, this expression was much better than that deliberately flattering expression.

But unfortunately, it's a little late for you to show your true colors...

Chen Hero no longer looked at Reporter Zou's gaze that could kill him, he turned to the cameraman and said: "I'm sorry, this is my home, so can I please ask you to go back first? We'll interview again when the new reporter comes?"

He didn't come in to comfort the heart-injured Reporter Zou, but to drive people away!

Maybe only the moron Chen Hero could do such a thing...

※※※

The owner has already issued an eviction order, what else can they do?

They can only pack up their things and leave.

The lighting engineer, the microphone holder, and the cameraman began to pack up the props. Reporter Zou didn't intend to help, she couldn't wait to pick up her Lv bag and walk towards the door.

Chen Hero reminded her from behind: "Turn right when you go out, that's the gate, don't go the wrong way."

Reporter Zou's body swayed, she almost fell... She stopped and turned around to stare at Chen Hero fiercely.

Since she was no longer responsible for interviewing Chen Hero, and her desire to become famous by getting involved with Chen Hero had also been shattered, there was naturally no need to be polite to him.

"As a big star, how can you be so lacking in manners!" She questioned Chen Hero.

Chen Hero spread his hands: "As a reporter, how can you be so unrespectful and unloving of yourself?"

These words poked at Reporter Zou's wound, she yelled as if she had been blasted in the chrysanthemum: "Watch your words, Chen Hero! Where am I unrespectful and unloving of myself?!"

Women always like to shout their voices very loudly when they quarrel, as if reason lies in the loudness of their voices, and this also makes them seem aggressive, and can successfully deter and suppress those men who have poor psychological qualities and have psychological barriers to facing shrews.

But Chen Hero didn't buy her act, he pointed at Reporter Zou's clothes, which were open to between her breasts, almost unconstrained, and the short skirt that could only barely cover her butt, and said: "I've been to a lot of nightclubs, and to be honest, you dress almost like a nightclub girl, just a little stronger than a stripper, and there's a limit..."

"Don't spout blood! It's my freedom to wear what I want! You are a rogue yourself, your heart is dirty and vulgar, and you are shameless!"

"We don't even know who's shameless!" Chen Hero laughed. "Do you believe that if there was a steel pipe in this room, your previous movements would be pole dancing."

"Nonsense! Pole dancing is also an art!"

"Is it also an art to take off your clothes while dancing?"

Chen Hero wasn't afraid of reporters when it came to arguing, even if reporters were born to do this, and had professional talent added to it.

"You slander people, did I dance? Did I take off my clothes?"

"Of course you didn't, aren't there three colleagues around?"

The three people thought to themselves, "I'm getting shot while lying down!" But no one came up to dissuade the two people, because they all couldn't stand Reporter Zou, but because of the face of their colleagues, some things were not easy to say. Now that someone was helping them to teach Reporter Zou a lesson, they were actually very happy to hear it from the side...

Reporter Zou, who had always been carefully cared for, surrounded in the center, and had a large group of flower protectors to speak for her when she had conflicts with people, had never been so angry before?

She was trembling with anger, and her hands were shaking while pointing at Chen Hero: "I... I finally understand why Chinese football is in such a mess! It's because there are shameless people like you! Even if you win more championships and score more goals, you can't change the fact that you are garbage!"

Chen Hero shrugged: "I understood long ago why the Chinese media are all like that, isn't it because people like you are filling it?"

Chen Hero didn't have any psychological burden for tearing his face with Reporter Zou and completely offending her.

He had scolded British reporters, why couldn't he scold Chinese reporters?

This woman's initial intentions were impure, and Chen Hero didn't think he had scolded anything wrong. If it was because he spoke harshly and didn't give women face... In today's world, isn't it advocated and publicized that men and women are equal? Since they are equal, while enjoying equal rights, they must naturally bear equal responsibilities. If a man makes a mistake, he can be scolded and beaten, why can't a woman be scolded and beaten if she makes a mistake?

Chen Erbi didn't buy that!

In the end, this Reporter Zou, who was trembling with anger and couldn't even organize her words, was dragged out by her three colleagues and fled in disgrace.

This was really a completely failed interview...
