Chapter 159 Love is Selfish
After the contract was signed, Mathilde flew back to France, this time he went to pack up his things. In the next two years, Germany was the place where she lived for a long time, and France just went back occasionally.
She originally wanted to take all her family over, but now she has the ability to support four people easily. After signing the contract, Chu Zhongtian gave Mathilde a salary of 50,000 euros in advance in order to solve the difficulties of Mathilde's family.
After having his personal assistant, Merry also left Germany. He still had a lot of things to do, including accompanying his wife and children. His wife's birthday is coming soon, and he still has to prepare a birthday gift.
Chu Zhongtian also turned around and joined the game.
On February 6th the next day, Hoffenheim defeated Hannover 96 3:1 at home, finally ending the embarrassing record of losing money for nine consecutive rounds. In this game, Van Nystruei scored twice, Eduardo, who returned from injury, added icing on the cake, and Chu Zhongtian contributed an assist.
Not only did he win the ball, but the scene also looked better. Hoffenheim's mental outlook was completely different from before, and this is the main reason for winning.
Although it stopped the decline, Hoffenheim also paid a huge price. The main defender Baker and forward O'Brassi were both injured in the game. On the second day of the game, the two went to undergo an MRI examination. Baker was diagnosed with a torn medial ligament of the right knee and had to rest for four to five weeks. Obassi was injured in the joint ligament of the right ankle and joint capsule, and had to rest for two to three weeks.
I won a game but injured two generals. This gain and loss is really hard to calculate.
After the league, the German Cup followed.
Considering that Hoffenheim is about to enter a two-line battle, Rangnick decided not to waste physical fitness in games like the German Cup, so in the quarterfinals of the German Cup with Bremen, Rangnick sent most of the substitutes. In this game, even Chu Zhongtian did not start, but got time to rest. Bremen had to use the start of the last round of the league to play the main players with the substitute, and the result can be imagined.
In the end, Hoffenheim, who was almost the second team, lost 1:2 to Werder Bremen on the road.
Although Hoffenheim's substitutes work hard, the huge gap in strength makes them accept the fate of being eliminated.
※※※After the match with Bremen, Mathilde also returned from France and she will officially start taking over Meri's previous work. Many media reporters who often interview Chu Zhongtian received a mobile phone message from her, explaining her identity, and telling them that if you have any questions, please contact her first, and then she will tell Chu Zhongtian.
She rented an apartment in downtown Sinsheim, not far from Chu Zhongtian's home, so she could easily get over if she had something to do.
Mathilde is working hard now and puts her feelings for Chu Zhongtian deep in her heart. She doesn't like some celebrity assistants who like to go around celebrities if they are fine. Apart from work contact, she basically doesn't bother Chu Zhongtian. Sometimes, Chu Zhongtian calls her to ask her if she wants to help in life, or whether she wants to have a meal together, and this kind of thing.
Mathilde is actually hiding from Chu Zhongtian, and she still needs time to consider how to face her relationship with him. In fact, if she only works as Chu Zhongtian’s personal assistant, she is not too busy at work. After all, Chu Zhongtian is not Beckham. So she spends a lot of time thinking quietly in the apartment.
She had to stay with Chu Zhongtian for at least two years, how should she get along during this period? Chu Zhongtian often called her to have dinner together. It was not good to not accept it, and it seemed not good to always accept it. She didn't want to get too close to Chu Zhongtian, mainly because she didn't want to make herself impulsive and come back after she deliberately alienated her. She really didn't know if she could still control herself.
Chu Zhongtian and Emily are very loving now. Some media even commented that Chu and his Hollywood celebrity girlfriend are already loving and make people feel bored - they are both public figures, but no one has ever had scandals, and they only have each other in their eyes and hearts. Such a situation is so rare at their age. Everyone thinks it is an illusion. Who knows what disputes and contradictions they have in private?
Mathilde does not want to be the culprit of destroying this kind of love. Of course, this is a rational hope, but humans are impulsive animals. Who knows that at a certain point in time, they can't control their impulses?
In order to reduce such participation, Mathilde simply reduced contact with Chu Zhongtian. In addition to necessary work contact, he tried to avoid seeing each other at other times, and made excuses when he asked her out.
But this is not a long-term solution. Chu Zhongtian can’t ask her for a hundred times, but she only finds a hundred excuses? Besides, I decided to accept this job, didn’t I just think that it was better to face it bravely than to escape?
Mathilde can only hope that work will be more busy and more trivial, so that she can keep going every day, so that she will not have the chance to face the empty room alone and miss someone she shouldn't have missed.
This job is really hard for Mathilde...※※ Chu Zhongtian remembered that Mathilde had been in office for more than a week, and she seemed to have not told Emily. She knew about the personal assistant at the beginning, but now that there is a result, she should also know.
So he decided to notify Emily about the incident on the phone.
"By the way, my dear. I have something to tell you."
"Well, what?" Emily asked.
"Didn't I tell you some time ago that James planned to find me a personal assistant so that he could become a real agent?"
Emily nodded and said, "Yes, you told me. Why, there is progress now?"
"There is a final result. Just a while ago, I met with the personal assistant that Merry found for me and signed a contract. Who are my personal assistants?"
"I can guess this?"
"It's Mathilde, my previous French and German teacher, haha! It's a coincidence?" After Chu Zhongtian finished speaking, he did not hear the reaction there, and the phone fell silent.
"Emily?" He thought the signal was broken and tried to call.
"Ah, didn't she... leave?" Emily's voice came again, but something was wrong.
“Mr. Merry commissioned a headhunter company to find a personal assistant, one of whom happened to recommend her job, and then…”
"What a coincidence-" Emily said in a long voice. "So does she live in your house now?"
Chu Zhongtian heard the jealousy in the voice. He was not a fool, and he could die if he couldn't even hear it. Thinking about the past scenes, he knew why Emily had such an abnormal behavior.
"You are jealous, Emily?" Chu Zhongtian asked directly.
"No."
He said no, and the tone of the answer was hard, as if a stone hit the stone, without even a sound.
"I know what a celebrity's personal assistant is like." Emily continued to say in a voice without any emotion, "They can go in and out of the celebrity's homes freely and stay together for twenty-four hours. They even have to make breakfast for the celebrities, get up, and buy personal supplies for the celebrities... I think it's almost the same as the celebrities' boyfriend and girlfriend... Well, I admit I'm jealous, Chu." Emily said at the end. "I thought you had nothing to do with her anymore."
"Mathilde and I had no relationship at the beginning, okay, Emily?" Chu Zhongtian could understand Emily's jealousy, but he was still a little unhappy when he was said to this. He had never betrayed his feelings for Emily, but now Emily's attitude is as if he had already been in bed with Mathilde. He hates being wronged, especially being wronged by the people closest to him - we have known each other for so many years, but you still don't believe me yet? From Wimbledon to Hoffenheim, you are watching how I became a professional star from an ordinary international student amateur player. Do you think there has been any changes in me? Do you still don't know me enough?
The more he thought so, the more he felt frustrated and the more dissatisfied he was.
"Really?" Emily asked in a tone of doubt.
"Of course!" Chu Zhongtian raised his voice and replied.
"Then why did you specifically get her back to teach you German after she stopped teaching you French? Don't tell me that you would know that you would play football in Germany in the future."
"Uh..." Chu Zhongtian was stunned for a moment.
Emily is looking up old accounts. In fact, it is not a good idea to turn up old accounts in love, especially this time she has fallen into Chu Zhongtian's sore spot.
It is false to say that he has no different feelings for Mathilde. Sometimes he doesn't know what he feels about this girl who makes people feel pity at first sight. He has the urge to take her into his arms to care for her, and he has also said reluctantly.
He knew Mathilde's feelings for himself and knew very well. So what about Mathilde? If Emily asked whether she didn't like Mathilde at all, what should she answer?
"I, I just think it's not bad to learn one more language... Instead of finding an unfamiliar language teacher, it's better to find Mathilde, who has a foundation in cooperation and has already known each other..." In fact, even Chu Zhongtian didn't believe his words.
"Did you say that to her at the beginning, Chu?"
"No, I... Her family is in a bad situation. I hope I can help her... I am also studying abroad and working in Wimbledon. I know that kind of hardship..."
"There are many poor people in this world who need help. Do you go and help? You have helped her once, how many more times do you have to help? Chu? Can you help her for the rest of your life?"
"I want to help as much as possible... She and I are friends, not the kind of care you think, they are really just better friends. If your friends are in trouble, shouldn't they help? Don't you... be selfish, okay, Emily!"
"Very good, I'm just selfish. Do you know now that I'm a selfish person, Chu?"
After saying that, Emily hung up the phone without giving Chu Zhongtian a chance to defend herself.
"Hey—" When Chu Zhongtian wanted to say something, the other side had already hung up.
"Damn it!" He couldn't help but curse at the disconnected phone.
At first, he wanted to share this interesting good news with Emily, but why did it become like this... Of course, he knew that Emily had vaguely jealous of Mathilde, but he thought that so many years have passed since Mathilde said goodbye, Emily, as a winner, should not care about a loser anymore. Unexpectedly, a woman's jealousy was so great that he caught him off guard.
Chu Zhongtian felt very bored and he was very upset.
※※※"This idiot Chu! Idiot!" Emily yelled and threw her phone on the bed, then slammed the door and came out.
The mother Miranda, downstairs, heard heavy footsteps coming from the upper floor. Her daughter didn't say hello and walked straight out the door. She asked, "Where are you going, my dear?"
"Go out for a walk!" Emily replied viciously, then opened the door and rushed out.
Miranda looked at the door that was not closed in wonder why her daughter was so angry. According to convention, this time should be the time when she and that boy Chu were on the phone... Did they have a quarrel?
This is really uncommon!
Miranda thought about it before Christmas, when Chu Zhongtian didn't come to Los Angeles before Christmas, Emily was not in good shape for several days, but it was the first time she was so impulsive.
If his daughter had a falling out with Chu Zhongtian... Isn't this what I dream of? Should I add more fire?
Miranda began to think about this problem at home.
Emily started the car and drove directly onto the highway. She wanted to go racing. This is a habit she gradually developed in Hollywood. When she is in a bad mood and is under too much pressure, racing is one of the ways to vent.
In racing, she is highly focused and can temporarily forget those unpleasant things.
But when she parked the car on the side of the road to rest, the flowers she and Chu Zhongtian came to her mind again.
Of course she knew that it was normal for her to help each other as friends. But if anyone helped a female friend so often, would anyone think about it? She is an ordinary person, even though she is a celebrity, she is not a god of fraternity. Of course, women should be selfish in love. In this world, how many women can tolerate their boyfriends or husbands cheating? Even if it is just spiritual cheating. Similarly, how many men in this world can tolerate their girlfriends or wives cheating, even if it is only spiritual.
What would Chu think if he and a male star in a certain circle frequently go out and go in pairs, holding hands and hugging each other in front of a reporter? Wouldn't he be jealous?
Since that's the case, why can't he understand his mood?
She had seen Mathilde, who looked far worse than herself, but there was a temperament that would make many men feel "pleasant" and it was not pretending, but naturally. This may be related to her life experience. Chu once said that her family was not in good condition and she lived a very happy life.
But what does that have to do with yourself?
Emily Stan is not kind and selfless, nor is she fraternal and great. She is just an ordinary woman with a little fame. She is jealous, jealous, random, guesses for no reason, and is she still has a little temper. So she can't tolerate her boyfriend's love for her while thinking about another woman. No matter what reason, she cannot accept this fact.
The more she thought about this, she became more and more angry. Finally, she slapped the steering wheel suddenly, and the sound of the car's horn alarmed the birds on the trees by the roadside.
※※After the training, Chu Zhongtian's mind switched from the "Football" channel to the "Life" channel. The unpleasant phone call last night began to affect his mood again.
In fact, before the training began, the aftermath of the phone made me very upset. However, considering that I am a professional player, football is a profession, and trying not to let things in life interfere with work, he forced himself to forget those unpleasant things and focus on training. In the eyes of outsiders, it seems that their captain is more desperate, serious and active than before when he was training.
Rangnick believes that this is the reason why the team continues to grasp discipline during this period, but he does not know that Chu Zhongtian just hopes to forget those worries in this way.
Now that the training is over, the worries inevitably come back. In fact, he had been practicing for more than half an hour before, but he couldn't keep practicing. Rangnick would not allow it, and the training base would not be open for him all the time. Everyone here had to get off work and go home.
The teammates had already left, and only his and a few coaches' cars were left in the parking lot.
He drove the car out, but didn't know where to go. Suddenly he didn't want to go home. As soon as he went back, he had to think of yesterday's phone call and the things that upset him.
He took out his cell phone and looked at it. Who would you like to find at this time?
He saw Mathilde's phone call.
※※※Mathilde was making dinner for herself. When she heard the phone in the living room ringing, she hurried out to pick it up.
"How about having supper with me, Delphin?"
Although Chu Zhongtian used to call Mathilde to have dinner together, he never used this blunt and straightforward tone.
"Ah, I'll eat..." She wanted to say that she had eaten it.
"Stop making excuses, I want to treat you to a meal today."
It turned out that he had known that those were just excuses...Mathilde thought in his heart.
"Are you where you live? I'll pick you up now."
After saying that, before Mathilde could answer anything, he hung up the phone and started the car and drove towards the apartment where Mathilde rented.
Mathilde looked down at his phone, and she could hear that Chu Zhongtian was not very happy. But why didn't she know. It is logical that the team is in good condition at the moment, and there is no negative news about him in the media. What can make him so unhappy?
Could it be...her heart pounded suddenly.
Did you have a quarrel with Emily?
