Chapter 62 James almost got discovered by Green
These officials didn't know when the fans outside left, but by the time they left, the roads in Yanjing were no longer congested.
I thought these fans were just tired, but little did I know, they were watching football at home right now.
One characteristic of Chinese football fans is that there is a significant overlap between those who like basketball and those who like football.
The Chinese national football team did not disappoint, drawing 1-1 with Australia, leaving their chances of qualifying for the World Cup slim.
After the game, head coach Tie Zi started shifting blame, which infuriated the fans.
So these fans started reporting the issue again and began to gather a large group to demonstrate at the General Administration of Sport first thing tomorrow morning.
……
a few days later.
The game between the Rockets and the Thunder ended just two hours ago.
Unsurprisingly, the Rockets lost again in Oklahoma City.
While suffering their 15th consecutive loss, they continue to hold onto their position as the worst team in the league.
To shake off the disappointment of defeat, the entire Rockets team decided not to spend the night in Oklahoma City and instead fly directly to New York.
Wang Xiucheng's performance tonight was one of his worst in recent games. Despite Keddy and Alexander's relentless fouling and physical contact, Wang Xiucheng only managed 8 points and 5 assists in 25 minutes of play.
The flight from Oklahoma to New York takes nearly three hours, and Wang Xiucheng was taking a nap with his headphones on.
Before he knew it, Wang Xiucheng felt someone shaking him, so he opened his eyes and saw Old Gordon watching him from the side.
"What's wrong? Are you in New York?" Wang Xiucheng asked.
Gordon is actually a rather quiet guy. He doesn't usually pay much attention to these rookies and goes straight home as soon as the game is over. He's a nice guy who doesn't offend anyone.
“Not yet, there’s still halfway there,” old Gordon explained. “So, Wang, do you want to buy a house?”
house?
Did Wang Xiucheng's campaign lead to Old Gordon changing careers?
But the next moment Wang Xiucheng knew why he asked that question.
It's no secret that Gordon is leaving Houston, so selling the house is normal.
Many teams in the league that want to tank will trade away their veteran players who still have value.
They say they want the veterans to pursue the championship, but actually they just mean they don't need you anymore; it's just a polite way of putting it.
This is exactly the situation Gordon is in now.
"You're not coming back?" Wang Xiucheng asked quietly, seeing that some people on the plane were sleeping and others were scrolling through their phones.
“No, that’s not it. My home is in Houston. My wife and kids have already settled in here. I’ll come back to live here after I retire.” Old Gordon knew that Wang Xiucheng had misunderstood, so he explained, “I have two houses. I want to sell one and do some other business.”
Wang Xiucheng understood.
However, Wang Xiucheng himself hasn't thought about buying a house yet. He's not sure if he'll still be in Houston next year, so buying a house now would be too early.
“I bought that house when I first came to Houston, so it’s not very big and not expensive. It’s in Sugar Land,” Old Gordon continued.
He knew that Wang Xiucheng had recently signed a lot of contracts, and the endorsement fees would be substantial.
"How much is it if it's not expensive?" Wang Xiucheng asked.
"I bought it for 175 million, and spent 20 on renovations. Now it's worth 220 million. If you'd like to buy it, how about 200 million?"
Wang Xiucheng gasped.
Two million dollars, which is equivalent to more than ten million Chinese yuan, and this is still "not expensive"?
His house, which he lives in, must cost at least forty or fifty million.
"I can't afford it." Wang Xiucheng shook his head decisively.
Although he recently took on a lot of endorsements, earning over $1600 million, which sounds like a lot, after taxes, only half is left, which is far from enough to afford a house like this.
“I know what you’re thinking. You can go and take a look after you get back to Houston. If you really like it, we can talk about the money later, installment payments are fine.”
Old Gordon seemed determined to sell the house to Wang Xiucheng, constantly trying to persuade him and even taking out his phone to show Wang Xiucheng pictures of the house.
Wang Xiucheng got a little annoyed by what he was being told, so he agreed for the time being.
Only then did old Gordon return to his seat, satisfied.
……
As was his habit, Wang Xiucheng walked at the back. As soon as he stepped off the plane, a gust of cold wind blew into the collar of his coat.
He was only carrying a ball bag, which actually contained two sets of clothes.
Everything else is still on the plane; the Rockets' management will transport it to the hotel the team has booked.
Wang Xiucheng did not go to the hotel with the team; in fact, very few people from the entire team returned to the hotel.
This is New York, so it's a great place for a short trip with your girlfriend or wife.
Or you could just go to a nightclub; that's better than watching pay-TV alone in a hotel.
It snowed in New York today. Although the snowflakes melted quickly after landing, the drifting snowflakes still added a touch of romance to the city.
Standing in the New York night, Wang Xiucheng quickly spotted a white SUV in the corner, and a woman with a graceful figure standing in the snow, watching him.
Wang Xiucheng walked over with his things and tightened the woman's collar: "Why didn't you call me while you were hiding here?"
"I'll see how long it takes you to see me again." Jenna was smiling, but Wang Xiucheng saw mist in her eyes.
this woman.
Wang Xiucheng threw the package on the ground and immediately started eating it.
Green and Christopher, who had just gotten into the car in the distance, were turning it around.
Christopher, with his excellent eyesight, suddenly exclaimed, "Isn't that the King? Who's that woman? His girlfriend?"
Green also craned his neck to look, but Wang Xiucheng blocked the woman's face, making her look disdainful in the darkness.
"No wonder he didn't want to go to the nightclub with us." Green chuckled.
He was still worried that Wang Xiucheng didn't like women.
He had a terrible thought in his mind: that Wang Xiucheng always passed the ball to him because he had taken a liking to him.
This made him hesitant to fully trust Wang Xiucheng.
Although he doesn't discriminate against such people, that doesn't mean he can accept them.
Green is finally relieved; the biggest weight has been lifted from his heart.
"Come on, let's go say hello." Green patted the driver on the shoulder.
With a screech of brakes, the car swerved toward Wang Xiucheng.
Just as Wang Xiucheng, who was evenly matched with Jenner, was about to use his "ambidextrous fighting technique"—a technique even James envied—to distract Jenner, Green's car arrived.
"Bro, no wonder you didn't come to the nightclub with us. Who's this? Aren't you going to introduce him?" Green shouted loudly, feeling no pressure.
Wang Xiucheng was startled and was about to turn around when Jenna grabbed his coat collar tightly and buried her head in it.
Wang Xiucheng knew she didn't want to be seen.
So, holding Jenna's head in his hands, Wang Xiucheng turned to look at Green, who was acting unusually cheeky today: "Weren't you guys going to a nightclub? Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"Let's go right away, let's go right away." Christopher laughed heartily. "Watch your back, don't let it get too weak during the game."
Wang Xiucheng shook his head helplessly. This guy had no sense of propriety.
Green blew a dirty whistle, and then their car turned and left the parking lot.
Jenna then revealed her head.
She didn't look in Green's direction, nor did she care who it was.
Jenna raised her head slightly, looked at the boy in front of her, and said sarcastically, "You've been to nightclubs before?"
“Green is treating, it wouldn’t be right not to go, even old Gordon is going,” Wang Xiucheng said with a smile in a relaxed tone.
"You're not allowed to go there anymore."
Jenna knows all too well what nightclubs in the US are like.
Because she goes there often.
And it wasn't just with her best friend, she even went with her male best friend.
Thinking about this, Jenna frowned slightly, as if she had made a decision.
"I won't go anymore, and you can't go anymore either," Jenna said, looking aggrieved.
Wang Xiucheng put his arm around Jenna's slender waist, kissed her forehead helplessly, opened the car door, and got in.
