She exuded a very sharp and fashionable air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing footsteps, the blonde beauty standing by the car turned around and saw Wang Shuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where have you been?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hurried over to him. \"I’ve been driving back and forth along this road, I looked for you three times. How did I not see you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And your phone? Why didn’t you answer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo didn’t answer, simply taking the shoulder bag from his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had put his phone on silent after going into the locker room, then tossed it in his bag and forgot to take it out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t you have a key? Why didn’t you go inside and wait?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Wang Shuo took the key from his bag and walked over to open the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They went inside and turned on the lights. Wang Shuo went into the kitchen first and came back out with two bottles of water in his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Weren’t you going to Milan? I thought you wouldn’t be coming to the game tonight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina Gerk noticed his spirits were low and gave a soft smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I made a special trip back this afternoon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did your work over there go smoothly?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It was nothing special, just regular work. The day after tomorrow, I have to go to London.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo realized she was actually quite busy too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mainly, her agency had scheduled a very dense workload for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the very first winner chosen by Heidi Krumm’s company in Germany’s Next Topmodel, a vast amount of resources had been invested in her. Naturally, they expected a corresponding return.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she had always worked very hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them were actually quite similar; both were workaholics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because they had both come from small towns and mountain villages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because of this, they had an exceptionally good impression of each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing that Wang Shuo wasn’t in high spirits, Lina Gerk carefully avoided talking about football and changed the subject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, right. Last time, you told me your hometown is a famous garment city in China. Is that true?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo followed her lead as expected. \"Strictly speaking, it’s our provincial capital. It’s very famous and has a lot of brands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you have any friends who make high-end clothing? Could you introduce me? I’m looking to contact a contract manufacturer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A contract manufacturer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yeah, I’m planning to launch my own clothing brand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For real?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. I can’t work for the agency forever. I need to have my own business. Besides, I know so many people in the fashion world now, so it’s only natural to consolidate those resources.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have it all planned out. I’ll start with clothes, and if that’s successful, I’ll slowly expand into other categories. I’ve also put a team together, including a very good designer friend of mine. I think her talent is extraordinary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo was dumbfounded as he listened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina Gerk was only twenty, yet she was already starting her own business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Impressive!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you sure you want to find a contract manufacturer in China?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course. I’ve looked into it. China has a very clear cost advantage, and the quality is also very good. The prerequisite, of course, is finding a reliable manufacturer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo nodded. \"I can ask around for you, but I don’t know anything about this stuff. You’ll need to arrange for someone to do an on-site inspection.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s a given.\" Lina Gerk smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her happy, Wang Shuo’s mood lifted considerably as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many people are in your studio right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Including me, three.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Only three?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yep, we don’t need too many. A designer, a photographer, and me—the boss, product selector, creative director, sales director, marketing director, finance director... oh, and the spokesperson and in-house model.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing her rattle off so many titles for herself in one breath, Wang Shuo couldn’t help but be amused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your company sounds pretty shabby, then.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What can I do? Don’t be fooled by how glamorous I look when I go out. In reality, I haven’t earned much money these past few years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a pause, she sat up straight, her face full of confidence, and said, \"But don’t worry, I have a lot of faith in this company. I’m going to use my name for the brand—it’ll be called LeGer.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was made from the first few letters of her name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This certainly showed her determination to start a business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, are you going to open a store?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No store for now. It’ll mainly be online sales.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"E-commerce?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes. That requires a much smaller investment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you planning to set up the office in Berlin? Or Munich?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Neither. I’m planning to set it up in Dusseldorf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Shuo was a little surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From what he knew, Berlin had a fashion week, and Munich was pretty good too. At the very least, places like Frankfurt or Hamburg would be suitable choices.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why Dusseldorf?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lina Gerk didn’t answer right away. Instead, she just looked at him quietly, and his heart stirred at her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because... that way, I can be closer to you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, her eyes were locked firmly on Wang Shuo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not counting the female fan who had hugged him that morning, this was the first time a girl had confessed to him so directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was at a loss, wanting to break their intertwined gaze, but he found he couldn’t look away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And this seemed to give her immense encouragement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slowly leaned in, getting closer and closer, until they were near enough to feel each other’s breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the pause was just a tentative test, born from her own anxious heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she was sure Wang Shuo wasn’t resisting or pulling away, she grew bolder and lunged forward. Cupping his cheeks with both hands, she kissed him forcefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She even instinctively sat down right on his lap.\u003C\u002Fp>",1009,"2026-05-30T11:12:32.830Z","2026-06-01T04:31:05.348Z",1,"novelbin.me","38b19c725f14dd0181a2b45edfdba1379f7a3117b5d5d51b852a3d29831e7256","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-272","the-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-chapter-270",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-god-of-football-starts-with-passive-skills-cover.jpg"]
