Chapter 80 Volume 2 The Skies of Nottingham, The Holiday Is Over (Part 2)
Thinking of the lawyer, Tang En took out his mobile phone from his pocket. In order to play in Spain without interruption, Tang En turned off the mobile phone after leaving Nottingham, removed the battery and threw it in his bag. Now for the convenience of contact, he installed it again.
Just after turning on the phone, he received a bunch of text messages. He looked at the names of the senders. There were Des Walker, Kenny Burns, and Ian Bowyer. They were basically old acquaintances. Maybe they were casual greetings... …then he saw Pierce Bruce's name underneath, a guy who knew his number but never got in touch. Scrolling down, Walker sent five consecutive text messages in one day.
The content is similar, ask him where he is now, if there is something urgent, and call him back as soon as he sees the text message.
Dunn knew that Walker was not a casual joker. If he was in such a hurry, something very important must have happened.
So he called Walker.
"Tony? Tony! Where are you, Tony?" As soon as the call was connected, Walker's anxious voice came over.
"I'm at the airport in Madrid..."
"Oh, hell! Did you travel?"
"Er, yes. I'm going to Spain..."
"Are you used to traveling without turning on your mobile phone?" Walker interrupted Tang En again.
"Hello, Des. What's going on?"
There was silence for a while, Walker sighed and said to him: "It's not convenient to say on the phone, you should come back quickly. When you come back, go to the Forest Bar to find us. I can only tell you, Tony, you are in big trouble this time!"
Shania didn't notice the change in the expression on Tang En's face, she was still playing with the Totoro doll. Tang En put the phone to his ear in a daze.
What kind of trouble? It was so serious that Walker, who had always been calm, panicked...
Tang En brought Shania back to No. 13, Branford Garden Street, Nottingham, when he saw a group of people waiting there. A white Ford sedan was parked by the side of the road. A middle-aged man and woman could not see Don't know the exact age, maybe a little older than myself... The woman has a perfect figure and charm, while the man has a handsome appearance and a talent. There was also a fat old woman, and a group of reporters holding cameras with excited and expectant faces. These people surrounded the small garden in front of their house with water.
Tang En glanced, did the cruel adoptive parents finally come to the door? Well, let's talk clearly face to face...
The young woman became excited when she saw Tang En and Shania whom he was leading.
"Judy! Judy!" She called Shania's name and came up to hold her hand, but Shania avoided her.
Tang En blocked the girl behind him, intending to have a good talk with her: "Ma'am, I think..."
His words were interrupted by the woman's scream: "Give me back my daughter!" The middle-aged man came up and pulled the overly emotional woman away, and then nodded politely to Tang En: "I'm sorry, my wife is too Miss her daughter."
Tang En was a little annoyed by that nervous woman, but fortunately, this man seemed reasonable. "I understand, but I think we need to..."
Before he finished speaking, the other party frowned and spoke to Shania behind him: "Judy Shania Jordana! Have you had enough fun? The vacation is over!"
Tang En felt that Shania behind her was frightened, and he said dissatisfiedly to the man: "Please be careful with what you say, she is still a child..."
The man ignored him, but continued to stare at Shania and said in a stern tone: "Jordana, do you want me to repeat what I said? Do you know how much your mother worried about you? Since knowing that you are in Nottingham, We come here every day to wait for you, come back with us!"
Tang En was confused by the situation in front of him, he turned his head to look at Shania who was hiding behind him. The little girl hugged the Totoro doll in front of her body, only showing her eyes and looking timidly at the two men in front of her.
"Judy, what's going on?" Tang En also frowned.
The girl was silent for a while, and finally lowered her head. She whispered to Tang En: "They are my parents..."
"Cruel-hearted adoptive parents?"
The middle-aged man glanced at Tang En. What is this guy talking about?
Shania shook her head: "Birth... I'm sorry, Uncle Tony. I lied to you, there are no cruel adoptive parents. My father and mother want me to practice modeling during the holidays, but I don't like it at all, I hate boring practice and that vicious coach! Just... just lied to them that I was going to play at my aunt's house in England, and then ran here alone..."
Tang En closed his eyes and shook his head, he was actually cheated by this little girl! When facing cute children, will your judgment and vigilance decline? He opened his eyes and saw that old fat woman walking towards him. Could this woman be the legendary "Aunt Ryan"? God... I still want to live under the same roof as her!
The man pulled Shania away from Tang En, and then nodded slightly at him: "Thank you very much for taking care of Jordana during this time, we regret this kind of thing as much as you do. Thank you." He thanked lightly Tang En, and then pulled Shania back to the Ford car.
As the car door closed, Tang En saw Shania turn her head and look at him, and then she was embraced by the crying and emotional mother.
The old woman walked up to Tang En, and said fiercely, "You'd better have a lawyer's phone number, I think you will receive a court summons soon!" car. The Ford chassis visibly sank as she entered.
As she said this, the camera flashes in the hands of reporters blazed, and they finally got the most valuable news. But Tang En didn't have time to pay attention to the threats from the old woman and the harassment from the reporters. He stared blankly at the driving car, on which Shania sat with her head down between her parents, and didn't turn her head to look at him.
The large Totoro doll was abandoned on the side of the road, lying quietly on the ground, with a lot of dust on the white fluff, making it dirty.
Tang En stepped forward and leaned over to pick it up, lightly patted off the dust on it, and then sighed as he looked at this poor guy with wide eyes and slightly open mouth, but he couldn't speak.
He looked back at the group of excited media, unexpectedly did not swear, but turned around and dragged his luggage back to his room.
The holidays are over, aren't they?
Even though Tang En was not in the mood anymore, he went to Burns' Forest Bar to meet Walker at night as promised. For him, losing Shania, maybe being sued in court is the biggest trouble, what trouble can compare to this?
But Walker's words still woke Dunn up from his bewildered state of mind.
"Tony, we all know about Shania. But I advise you to forget about her first, you are in more trouble..." He spread out several Nottingham local newspapers in front of Dun En for Dun En to read news above.
——Nottingham Forest receives an injection of US funds!
—— Nigel Dougherty officially retired, and his son Evan Dalgety took over as the new chairman of Nottingham Forest!
——New chairman, new coach.
Below this news is a group photo of two people. The person on the left is very familiar: Evan Dalgety. Standing on the right and shaking hands with Evan, Tang En, a smiling man with a crew cut, was very unfamiliar.
"Who is he?" Tang En asked, pointing to the man's photo.
Walker replied: "Stan Collymore. The new head coach of the Forest team."
Tang En looked at Walker in disbelief, his eyes contained anger and surprise. Walker turned away from Tony Twain's stare, and whispered:
"Evan said he wanted to contact you, but your phone was turned off. The league started on August 9th, and now it's the end of June. He said that the team must determine the head coach early..."
"Could it be that my head coach is just a fucking display?!" Tang En roared. There were too many things that made him feel uncomfortable this day, and he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
Burns put his hand on Tang En's shoulder: "Calm down, Tony."
"How do you tell me to calm down, Kenny? What happened when I took over the team? At the end of the season we made it to the play-offs, and now he sacks me! You want to..."
"Tony!" Burns shouted vigorously, "Have you forgotten? You have an 'agent' in front of your head coach title!"
Hearing this, Tang En was stunned. That's right...he is the acting head coach. Although he has done well in leading the team, Nigel has said many times that he fully supports him, but he has not proposed a contract to remove the word "agent". What made him have the illusion that he was the real "Manager"?
Walker explained from the side: "Tony, although Evan's decision is emotionally unacceptable, he actually did nothing wrong. The agency head coach agreement you signed with the club was originally to end the season. …At the beginning, Nigel said that he would decide whether to sign a formal contract with you based on your performance in the past half of the season. But who would have thought that the old man would announce his retirement at the end of this season?"
Tang En slumped on the chair and murmured: "So... I became the coach of the youth team who was nothing? Right?"
No one answered his question, and he stared at Evan Dalgety and Stan Collymore in the newspaper, as if he wanted to see through them.
