Songwriting by Taylor Swift, Marketing is Also a Required Course for Football Players!

"Sister, about how long can you stay in the UK?"

Though he didn't want to part with Taylor, Li Yufei knew full well that this was the peak phase of her career's rapid rise.

He couldn't hold her back, and Taylor wasn't the type to settle down as a housewife anyway.

Calling her a "strong woman" was the most fitting description possible.

In her heart, her music career always came first.

Even in this life, Taylor's music career ranked number one, with her feelings for Li Yufei at best tying with it—but never surpassing it!

Li Yufei understood that. He wasn't the kind of macho man who insisted his woman stay by his side at all times.

His football career mattered just as much to him, and he wanted to reach the peak of Mount Everest in that field too.

Taylor heard her young man's question, rolled her eyes, and said, "Hmm, I can probably stay about half a month. Next month I'll start preparing for my new album's release."

Hearing this, Li Yufei asked out of nowhere, "Sister, how many songs on your new album are about me?"

The moment the question left his mouth, he wanted to slap himself!

After all, in this life, Li Yufei had taken the place of all the ex-boyfriends Taylor had in her past life.

This directly meant that the songs originally written for those exes were now all written for him.

Whether it was her first self-titled album or the second one, Fearless, plenty of tracks were tied to him.

Famous songs like You Belong With Me and Love Story from her past life had their MV male leads played by Li Yufei.

But for the sake of fame, he didn't mind.

Besides, if his girlfriend wanted to write songs about him, could he really say no?

That would be way too petty!

However, as time passed, Li Yufei's reputation could now be built entirely through football.

So he grew less keen on relying on Taylor's songs for fame.

But now that he'd asked that question, maybe she hadn't had the idea before, but now she did.

And with his girlfriend's freakish musical creativity, Li Yufei had no doubt that within a few days, a song about him would find its way into her new album.

In short, he'd just asked for trouble!

When Taylor heard her boyfriend's words, she tilted her head, put on an adorable look, and smiled slightly: "So, darling, do you want me to write a song for you?"

Li Yufei rubbed his chin, pretending to think, but was actually figuring out how to politely decline.

Seeing her boyfriend's expression, Taylor knew exactly what was on his mind. She chuckled inwardly but kept a concerned look on her face. "It seems darling wants Sister to write for him."

Before Li Yufei could refuse, Taylor made the call for him: "Don't worry, there'll be about three or four songs related to you in the new album. You'll definitely be satisfied."

"After all, this records the sweet memories between us over the past two years. Happy, darling?"

Li Yufei could only force an awkward laugh: "Heh heh... Sister, of course I'm happy. Being written into your songs is my honor~~~~"

Fine!

Li Yufei had accepted his fate.

He couldn't be bothered to say more. Let it all burn, hurry up!

Looking on the bright side, at least through these songs, his fame would get another boost. Wasn't that a good thing?

Others would kill for this kind of free publicity and have no way to get it.

Li Yufei told himself he should be grateful.

After all, even in sports, marketing was essential these days!

Especially for public figures like footballers with huge commercial value.

Even more so...

Li Yufei remembered that in his past life, not just basketball or football, but even table tennis—a sport with low commercialization—saw its athletes heavily marketed and hyped.

The entire table tennis world was turned into a mess.

Though this behavior disgusted many casual fans.

But regardless, those table tennis players definitely reaped plenty of benefits from it.

Their incomes skyrocketed, and just for that, they were surely happy!

As for the casual fans' likes or dislikes, what did it matter?

To put it bluntly, these people could do nothing but vent their dissatisfaction by typing on keyboards online.

The entire sports ecosystem wouldn't change one bit because of their keyboard-warrior antics.

That was just reality!

As for footballers, it was even more exaggerated in that regard.

Li Yufei had deep experience with how insane the fan cults of Messi and Ronaldo were in his past life.

Even though his past-life memories had grown a bit fuzzy after over a decade in this world.

But something that left such a deep impression on him definitely wasn't easy to forget!

And now, compared to Messi and Ronaldo, Li Yufei had one very clear advantage.

He had a naturally superstar girlfriend.

Plus his identity as a super-rich second generation meant he was born with built-in buzz for hype and marketing.

Why was President Wang so famous in China in later generations? Even surpassing many celebrities and entertainers!

Wasn't it just because he had a father who was once the richest man!

That was all...

Li Yufei had never been a pure footballer, and he didn't see himself that way either.

Even if he didn't play football, with his reincarnation luck and his star girlfriend's boost, he'd still be the center of media and public attention.

But if Messi and Ronaldo didn't play football, they'd probably just be ordinary people among the masses.

That was the advantage Li Yufei was born with!

He never shied away from this advantage—instead, he made use of it.

After all, having connections and not using them, having a platform and not leveraging it, that was just stupid!

Those motivational quote masters talked a good game, but how many of them actually lived up to their own words?

Not a single one.

Li Yufei was a mundane person in his past life, and even after transmigrating, that hadn't changed.

He didn't have such lofty ideals, nor did he have the twisted hobby of forcing difficulty into his own life!

If it weren't for the fact that Li Yufei had no real interest in inheriting the family business and just wanted to live freely as a carefree second-generation heir, He probably wouldn't even be playing football!

After all, football was still a legitimate job, and if he made a name for himself, it was a super high-paying one.

It was also a way to give his parents some peace of mind!

If Li's Father saw Li Yufei making a name for himself in football, he'd stop nagging.

Li Yufei himself could then let loose and do whatever he wanted!

When he reached a certain age, he could just waltz into his father's company and snag a high-level position.

Anyway, with professional managers around, Li Yufei wasn't worried about actually squandering the family fortune.
