Chapter 14 Hearing (Part 2)

The three of them came out of the cafe. It was already past twelve o'clock. They found a restaurant for lunch, had a short rest, and drove to the FA's location: SOHO Square.

Tang En had never been to the FA England, neither TangEn nor Twain. He searched for the SOHO square along the way according to common sense in China, but when the car stopped, lawyer Randy got out and he was still sitting on it.

"Mr. Tangen?"

"Ah? We're here?" Tang En got out of the car, then looked at a small piece of green, with several British sycamore trees planted on it. Their branches almost covered the entire square. It was winter, and if it was summer, I'm afraid that I could only see the dense leaves when I looked up.

This is the square? Tang En feels that compared with the squares as big as two football fields in China, it is at most a small dam in his hometown.

"Well, my first time here, and it's not very eye-catching..." he explained. The square was surrounded by very low buildings. Donn noticed that since he entered London, he rarely saw the towering skyscrapers. Most of them were old Victorian buildings with three or four floors. The FA building in front of him was similar, but the appearance had been somewhat renovated. It is said that the modern buildings are in the new district to the east, but the FA is obviously not there. The FA is in the center of London, on the north bank of the Thames, and on the south side of Oxford Street, a famous shopping resort.

"English Football Association." Randy introduced the here to the two outsiders. "In 1863, the statutory body was established by eleven English clubs on Fleet Street to manage all football affairs in England. It is the oldest football affairs management agency in history, earlier than both UEFA and FIFA."

Tang En sneered behind him, "But I only smelled a decadent smell."

Evan looked back at Tang En: "What you see is similar."

"Mr. Done." Randy stopped and turned to Done in front of the FA's glass door. "Your mentality is not conducive to your upcoming hearing."

I knew that the lawyer was right, but Tang En just couldn't stand his superior tone. So he smiled dryly and said, "I don't know that Mr. Randy, you are also a part-time tour guide."

Randy felt for the first time that he might not win a football coach in a bickering manner. So he simply remained silent, after all, he was considered his employer.

The three of them had just stepped into the FA gate and a very professional dressed woman came towards her. She saw the three people entering the door and stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Tang En?"

Tang En stood up: "I am Tang En."

"Hello!" the woman smiled and stretched out her hand, "I am Faria Alam, please follow me."

When Tang En heard the name, he was a little surprised. Then he turned his attention to the woman opposite again. He wanted to take a closer look at how a thirty-eight-year-old woman was charming and seduced two famous men to chang, which turned the English FA into a huge upset.

Long black shawl hair, mixed-blood characteristics with obvious appearance, skin color, eyes... It is said that she was once a model. Tang En's evaluation of her was - average, not as tempting as imagined, but not ugly.

"Mr. Tangen?" Alam found that Tangen was just staring at her, but did not follow her. She was very happy that this man had such a reaction, which meant that she was still charming. But how could she know what Tangen really thought?

"Uh, sorry. I'm distracted." Tang En shook his head, and Evan behind him laughed.

Alam was very satisfied with the men's reaction. She had just been working at the Football Association for three days. She had a big dream and did not want to be an ordinary secretary for the rest of her life. These men saw her performance and made her feel confident in the future: I, Fariya Alam, still have a fatal attraction to men.

Don Eun followed Alam to the hearing scene. He watched the woman walk in the back, swaying her butt from behind. She couldn't stop smacking her lips in her heart. She walked so coquettishly. You can imagine how natural that thing happened in the future. But how did he know... In a sense, it was his performance in facing Alam, the new secretary of the FA, today that made the sex scandal that shocked the British football world in the future?

Donne had imagined what the FA's hearing would look like and whether it would be like the courts he saw on TV. But when Alam opened the door for him, he realized it was just a slightly larger conference room.

"Please come in, Mr. Done." The person who stood up to greet him looked familiar. It was Mark Palios, the CEO of the FA who sparked passion with Fariya Alam in the future.

Palios was stunned when he saw Faria Alam who opened the door, and then his eyes were on the retired model. Tang En saw all the performances of this big man, and he smiled in his heart: So did you two adulterers meet because of me? Very good, very good!

Thinking of this, he threw the troubles of the hearing aside. He felt a sense of accomplishment: the world-famous gossip scandal began here, and it began with himself.

※※※

In general, when Tang En recalled today's Football Association's experience, the only thing he could remember deeply after a long time was probably the scene where Palios and Alam met. It was true that Mars collided with the earth, and the fire was met. On the contrary, Tang En himself and the hearing became secondary. Tang En saw Palios's eyes always glance at Alam who was standing at the door many times at the hearing. The model's figure was definitely not ordinary. The age of thirty-eight may make her not as tender and beautiful as a young girl, but it added a touch of sophistication to her.

Attorney Randy was worried about Don Eun's attitude at the beginning of the hearing, and Don Eun's performance opened his eyes. Don Eun, who was disdainful of this institution outside the FA building, was as obedient as a sheep at the hearing. Not only did he admit that he used improper words, but he also sang praises to the FA led by Palios, and at the same time stated that what he said in an interview was a misunderstanding of the media, and he had no intention of targeting the FA. It was completely a new acting head coach who was losing.

After that, he showed irrationality with excessive pressure, and after he woke up, he had fully realized how terrible mistakes he had made. So he had been looking forward to the hearing. Because Don En felt that he could not fully express his confession through the media or club fax or even phone calls, and he had to express his apology to the Football Association in person. He believed that the oldest football management agency in history, under the iron fist of Palios, would surely move from one glory to another glory.

Seeing Don Eun's performance, Randy, who was invited by the club to help solve the difficult problems, became a completely spectator. He suddenly felt that he had been deceived by that man. When Evan saw the expressions of the FA officials, he tried hard to hold back his laughter. The originally serious and nervous hearing made Don Eun a British satirical comedy. Seeing him expressing his confession seriously and irrelevant praise, he really felt a black humorous feeling.

Don't wear any clothes, but don't wear flattery. Tang En's performance left a very beautiful impression on the FA. So as soon as the penalty decision came out, it was much lighter than Randy had imagined in advance. He originally thought that the FA would issue a super ticket of "eight games banned and 100,000 pounds". Unexpectedly, he only had two games bans and 20,000 pounds in the end. It was like tickling.

"Mr. Done..." After the hearing, Done and Evan wanted to return to Nottingham. When they broke up, Randy didn't know what to say about today. He took the employer's money and wanted to use his profession to help the employer solve the problem. Unexpectedly, he became an audience in the end.

Tang En was very happy to see the arrogant lawyer's expression at a loss now. But he should not be too arrogant in life. This is the truth he realized after "rebirth" (?). Why can't he be able to make things difficult in the past? He was too arrogant and left no room for room, but ended up hitting a wall everywhere in this society. He took the initiative to stretch out his hand and shook hard with Randy: "Mr. Randy, thank you very much for your advice. I hope next time..." He suddenly found that he was not good at saying this, "...Ah, hell! I hope we will never meet again!" After that, he chuckled.

Randy knew what Tangen meant, and he laughed. "I am so blunt, Mr. Tangen. I think we still have a chance to meet in the future. If you need a lawyer, please call me." He handed a business card to Tangen, and Tangen took it with both hands.

"Sorry, I don't have a business card to give you..."

"If I want to find you, I will definitely know your contact information when I go to the newspaper."

"Um?"

"You will become a news figure in the future."

Tang En shrugged: "I really don't know if it's lucky or unfortunate."

Then both of them burst into laughter.

After seeing Randy off, Evan, who had been talking to Donn, said, "You two seem to have a good relationship like old friends for many years."

Don opened the car door, "Do you know, Evan. I didn't know how to deal with people before, and I was completely immersed in my own world, as if I was living in a virtual world until I..." He touched the back of his head, and Evan knew what that meant. "I got it right! Take this hearing for example. If it were me before, I would definitely be tough with the big guys in suits and tie. I wouldn't admit that I was wrong, nor apologize. I don't care how they punish me. But in fact, you saw that. Things were solved perfectly." After that, he got into the car.

Evan also sat back in the car: "Yes, it's perfect. You scolded the referee and the FA, venting your dissatisfaction, but it seemed that you didn't accept any punishment. I think when this decision was announced, the referee and West Ham coach who were scolded by you would definitely think they were raped."

Amid laughter, the car slowly drove away from the FA building and drove on the way home.

While Donn and Evan were still driving on the M1 motorway, the FA held a simple press conference to announce the final penalty decision for the incident.

Palios attended the press conference in person, and the person who placed a microphone for him and handed him water was the retired model Faria Alam who had just entered the FA for three days. She faced this scene with a smile and was able to handle it, which doubled Palios's favorability. A reporter accidentally took the moment Palios smiled and Alam looked at each other. The two people, who were frozen by the photo, had a little warm smile on their faces. Even the photographer quickly forgot the photo. But who knows what kind of high price he could have sold when he took out the photo a year and a half later...

Of course, the protagonist of this press conference was not Alam, who was still unknown, but Tony Donn. When Palios announced that the FA had suspended the Forest's acting head coach for two games and fined 20,000 pounds, chaotic discussions sounded at the press conference. The FA was deeply angry because of the media beforehand, but he did not expect that the result of the anger would be so painless.
