772 The New Year

It was the first time Tang Jing had spent a private Christmas with those she would normally only have access to in interviews. She was extremely curious, but she was quite calm on the surface and hid her professional habits as a reporter very well.

She knew that George Wood did not want reporters to be involved in his private life. Shortly after Wood had become famous, a thoughtless British tabloid had revealed, with a somewhat sarcastic tone, that his mother had previously worked as a cheap prostitute in the slums. George Wood and Nottingham Forest had joined forces to block the media company for good, and no news about the Forest team or Wood would be allowed to appear in that press outlet. If that happened, a lawyer's letter would be issued.

This was different from Twain's bickering style of "blocking." This was for real. Sure enough, Nottingham Forest had had no contact with that media outlet since then.
