"I didn't expect to see you here."

Facing Swift, who is half a head taller than him, Li Rui must look upward as much as possible. If he keeps looking straight, he may be regarded as a gangster.

"Why are you here?" Swift asked curiously.

Li Ruidao: "This is also a question I want to ask you."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone came over excitedly and said: "Taylor, let me introduce you to a senior in the music industry..."

Li Rui took a closer look and saw that the person coming was actually a singer he was very familiar with in his previous life, Ed Sheeran!

Li Rui understood.

Ed Sheeran and Swift are very well-known besties. Although they are not as well-known as the friendship between Swift and Selena, they are often seen together, and there were even scandals.

However, it later turned out that the two were indeed just very close "best friends". When Ed Sheeran first moved from the Eagle Country to the Magnesium Country for development, he received a lot of help from Swift.

Seeing Ed Sheeran, Li Rui guessed why Swift appeared here.

Sure enough, Swift introduced Li Rui: "Let me introduce to you, this is Li Rui. This is my good friend Ed Sheeran, who is also my special guest at The Red Tour. We will be at the Red Tour this weekend.

There is a concert in London, do you have time to come and support it?"

"This weekend? If there is no conflict with my team's game, I will definitely be there," Li Rui said.

Ed Sheeran opened his mouth: "You are the new boss of Crystal Palace, right?"

"Yes, that's me." Li Rui smiled, "It seems you are also a fan."

Ed Sheeran suddenly said excitedly: "Lee, can I ask you a favor? If you meet Leicester City in the play-offs, please kick their ass!"

Li Rui was surprised: "Why?"

Ed Sheeran said angrily: "I am an Ipswich fan. In this year's Eagle Championship, we were humiliated by Leicester City... I hope you can avenge my home team!"

Li Rui laughed and said: "Okay, if we can meet in the play-offs, I will definitely let the players score a few more!"

"That's really great!" Ed Sheeran was very happy. "I really envy you. When I make enough money, I also hope to do something for my favorite team."

After chatting for a while, Li Rui learned that Swift was coming to Eagle Country to start a world tour concert. She would hold one concert each in London, Manchester and Liverpool. Ed Sheeran, who happened to be a guest at the concert, received the news

The group invited her to a banquet, so she was brought along.

"I wish your concert a success." Li Rui raised his glass.

Swift also raised her wine glass and bumped it lightly with Li Rui: "Thank you..."

When Ed Sheeran was called away by a familiar friend, leaving only Li Rui and Swift, they had the opportunity to talk about more sensitive topics, such as... lyrics.

"I'm sorry." Swift said proactively.

"Why are you saying sorry?" Li Rui asked knowingly.

Swift said: "If you don't know the reason, just pretend I didn't say it."

Li Rui smiled, leaned into her ear and sang in a low voice: "That boy from Hua Kingdom made him crazy with jealousy, which broke our tacit understanding. HW's sparkling jewelry could not hide his childish appearance... This

"BeginAgain" is so popular, there's no way I haven't heard it."

A blush flashed across Swift's white face: "I apologize to you for including you in the lyrics without your consent."

Li Ruidao: "I forgive you. After all, what you wrote is true. In fact, I am also very sorry. I didn't expect that chance encounter would cause you to fall out of love."

Swift spread her hands and said, "I can't blame you, it's because he is too childish. In fact, I want to thank you for letting me see clearly what he is like."

Li Ruidao: "Speaking of lyrics... I need to remind you that if anyone wants to write you into lyrics in the future, you must not agree."

"Why do you say that?" Swift was confused.

Li Ruidao: "You just have to do what I say, otherwise you will fall into a situation of being slandered and suffer unwarranted humiliation."

Swift looked at Li Rui in surprise: "Are you a fortune teller? I have always felt that Orientals are very mysterious, and you have strengthened this impression."

"I hope that one day, you can go to the mysterious Eastern Hua Kingdom, hold a concert there, and see the madness of Hua Kingdom's fans." Li Ruidao, "I have an entertainment company that can help you if you are willing.

Complete all singing procedures."

"That's really great!" Swift said excitedly, "I want to go to China!"

The matter was settled like this, and Li Rui immediately sent a credit card to Xu Xiaoyang, asking him to contact Taylor's manager and performance team to discuss going to Haizhou to hold a concert.

While the two were chatting, Deng Wendi came over and said, "Li, Rupert is waiting for you."

Li Rui said sorry to Swift and followed Wendi Deng to the lounge, where he met Rupert.

Rupert is very thin and looks frail. He is 82 years old this year. Many people are already discussing who will take over News Corporation after his death. Only Li Rui knows that this old man has a very tenacious vitality.

, not only will he be summoned by death for a while, but even after divorcing Deng Wendi, he entered into his fourth marriage at the age of 85, and almost got married for the fifth time at the age of 92!

Li Rui couldn't help but sympathize with Rupert's two sons, Lacron and James. What's the use of fighting now to take over from his father? It's actually too late to fight again in ten years.

When he met Li Rui, Rupert was very enthusiastic, but behind the enthusiasm he could see a politeness full of distance.

Li Rui didn't know where the indifference came from. It might come from Rupert's always cold personality, or it might have something to do with Deng Wendi's existence.

The relationship between Rupert and Wendi Deng has completely broken down, and they are just waiting to announce their divorce. At this time, they are like the most familiar strangers, separated by a long distance.

If Li Rui attacks Rupert with a plate full of razor cream at this time, surely Deng Wendi will not come to the rescue again, right?

"Mr. Rupert, on behalf of Blockbuster, I hope to reach some cooperation projects with News Corporation..." Li Rui expressed his intention.

After Li Rui finished speaking, Rupert said calmly: "I'm old and haven't paid attention to the group's affairs for a long time. I think you can talk to James directly about these matters and I will support his decision."

Li Rui couldn't guess what Rupert meant, but it could be seen from the expression on Deng Wendi's side that Rupert was not interested in cooperation.

The long-awaited meeting ended with several coughs from Rupert. After Deng Wendi and Li Rui walked out of the lounge, they whispered: "Rupert's implication in asking you to find James is that he does not want to enter into this cooperation."

"Why? Isn't what I proposed a win-win proposal?" Li Rui asked.
