He’s said it all—the best decision of my life was spotting Kevin in China and signing him up.”
Ancelotti suddenly felt that Mancini was not so bad after all.
When he got home, he could remove the underlines in his notebook.
The Milan Derby might have ended.
But the excitement was just beginning to ferment.
For the media, it was another sleepless night.
Even newspapers that didn’t report on sports.
Because of the Ballon d’Or selection, they too got involved.
Countless people were forced to work overtime to rush their drafts.
Huang Kaiwen, without even lifting his shoes, dashed out of the Milan players’ locker room.
He ran all the way to the parking lot and dived into Barbara’s new car.
Before he had a chance to speak,
he was tackled by the young lady.
Huang Kaiwen could only apply [Master of Repairs] to perform a checkup on the Bentley.
The headlights were fine, bright enough.
The exhaust pipe, gas pedal, and brakes were all well-maintained.
Washer fluid and some other small details also met the average standards.
The car’s horn had a very superior sound quality.
High tones were vibrant, and the bass was deep.
Adding to that, there was also a good noise isolation effect.
It’s not without reason that big brands are expensive.
After resting in the parking lot for two hours,
the young lady finally started the car to head home.
Red-faced, the young lady exaggeratedly said, “You know?
Those girls at San Siro were so jealous they almost stormed down to abduct you.”
“But they couldn’t succeed, could they?”
Huang Kaiwen said, laughing.
The two of them returned home.
Only then did Huang Kaiwen remember something important, and, sitting on the sofa, he asked, “Was there something important that made you want me to come home today?”
“Tomorrow morning, you need to attend an award ceremony, and in the afternoon, join Kaka at Valentino’s new product launch,” the young lady’s voice came from the kitchen.
“Why do I need to attend an award ceremony?”
“Because you won an award, dear!” the young lady said excitedly.
Huang Kaiwen walked into the kitchen and asked, “Won an award?
Some kind of player award?”
“No, the Milan International Youth Literature Award.”
“The Nonino International Literary Prize?” Huang Kaiwen thought he had misheard.
“The Milan International Youth Literature Award!” Barbara put down the knife, wrapped her arms around Huang Kaiwen’s neck, and cooed, “This award was just established, initiated by CANALE5 together with ‘Milan Sports Newspaper.’ Young authors under 25 from all over the world can enter, and you’ve won the grand prize!”
CANALE5 belongs to your family, and you’ve PR’d ‘Milan Sports Newspaper.’
Even though we’re the sponsors, isn’t it a bit dubious to win an award without submitting anything?
“I seem to have not submitted anything.”
“I submitted it for you,”
Barbara explained, “I copied that book from your computer, it’s incredible, the judges couldn’t stop praising it!”
there was only one book manuscript.
It was something he wrote randomly when bored, combining marriage annulment, encounters, spy themes, leveling up, switching maps, old aristocratic family grudges, with added elements of adventure and mystery, and all kinds of mentally challenged villains, all in one.
It was a massive fusion of web novels.
Only the setting was placed in Europe.
And that won an award.
And it was a big one!
Might as well call it the Kevin Literary Award.
Huang Kaiwen never thought that one day, he would become a pioneer of cultural export.
In a few more years, he would have to stand shoulder to shoulder with the great Long Brother, right?
“After a while, I plan to invest and adapt your ‘Urban Elite Young Master Filippo’ into a TV series.
I believe it will be very popular,” the young lady said proudly.
Huang Kaiwen rubbed his temples.
Thinking that he must demand a naming fee from Inzaghi the next time he sees him.
Or just change the main character’s name.
At first, out of laziness, he had named the protagonist Filippo, not expecting that it would soon be turned into a TV series.
Get a few good-looking actors and actresses.
Add the popular elements of web novels, and it might not lose to American TV series.
His ‘Urban Elite Young Master Filippo’ isn’t much better than ‘Vampire Diaries’?
After dinner, the two of them leaned on the sofa watching ‘Planet of the Apes.’
Seeing in the movie that humanity was being eradicated,
Barbara, somewhat concerned, looked up and asked, “Dear, do you think there might come a day when pigs, cows, and sheep really gain human-like intelligence, and their IQs become as high as humans’?
What would we do then?”
“The pigs, cows, and sheep you’re talking about, do they have intelligence like Native Americans?” Huang Kaiwen asked.
He had just gotten up in the morning
when he saw Albert waiting in the hall.
“Is there something?”
“Master, I found a stone in the yard with Chinese characters on it.
It might be an antique!” Albert said excitedly.
Albert carefully opened the handkerchief, revealing the true face of the stone.
It was a thin slab, about 10 cm by 8 cm.
The writing on it made Huang Kaiwen cringe.
‘Milan prospers, King Kevin!’
The stone was inscribed with these six characters!
No need to think, it was either the folks from Chinatown or the students, and they’d played a prank.
The possibility of it being Chinatown was slightly higher.
After all, Chen Sheng was known for such pronouncements.
Writing something on a stone, and it wasn’t just anything.
The students probably wouldn’t have forgotten their textbooks so quickly.
What, did they want him to establish a monarchy in Italy?
Albert looked at Huang Kaiwen expectantly.
“Take the stone and roll!”
The good day was completely ruined by the butler.
After breakfast, the two set off for the award ceremony.
Hearing about what happened that morning and the story behind it, Barbara’s eyes lit up.
