Chapter 11 Domestic Response
June isn't the hottest time of the year, especially for leaders who have their own offices. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the room with the sign of the basketball editorial department and the editor-in-chief's office, Chen Yaohua sat in the boss's chair, drinking tea comfortably, and his eyes were on the replay of the Rockets vs. Lakers, which was leisurely and enviable.
But a sudden banging knock outside the door interrupted Chen Yaohua's enjoyment. He put the teacup in his hand on the table heavily, and hid the game scene playing with his other hand, before he said in a deep voice, "Come in!"
"Bang", the force of the door being pushed open and the violent sound of the wall hitting made Chen Yaohua's eyes jump, he forcibly held back the anger in his heart, and asked Xu Xiaowen, an assistant like a chrysanthemum, with a dark face: "What's the matter? What does this look like when you're in a hurry? You said you're also an old employee, and you don't look like a hairy boy?"
Xu Xiaowen didn't know which medicine he had taken wrong today, as if he hadn't heard the leader's reprimand, he ran to Chen Yaohua's desk in three or two steps, and even forgot to close the door, so he slammed his hands on the table, panting and saying to the leader in front of him: "Editor-in-chief, editor-in-chief, good, good news!"
Chen Yaohua's brows twitched even more violently, but the "good news" finally made him not continue to reprimand Xu Xiaowen, who seemed to be quite excited, but asked suspiciously: "What good news?
"No.... It's not, it's, it's yes, it's ........"
The assistant's critical moment, the "eunuch", made Chen Yaohua stand up from the chair and ask condescendingly: "What is it?"
As soon as the leader became angry, Xu Xiaowen forgot all about his cough, and his speech speed became extremely fast: "Another domestic player has announced that he will participate in this year's NBA draft!"
"What?
Xu Chen Yaohua's eyes widened in astonishment, and at the same time, he couldn't help but suspect in his heart: "Who is it? Could it be that Hu Weidong also wants to go to the United States to try? Or is it Liu Yudong? No, why haven't I heard any rumors?"
"I don't know who it is, but ....."
This strange answer made Chen Yaohua not come up in one breath, his choked eyes were red, he lowered his head to smooth his breathing, and pointed at his assistant Xiao Chen: "Xiao Xu, you ....."
"Editor-in-chief, I don't mean that, I mean that he is not a player who has been trained in China, and I don't know who he is, but I have his information here. ”
Seeing that the leader might "lose his breath" in a second, Xu Xiaowen also forgot the idea of selling Guan Zi to invite merit when he first came in, and quickly put a piece of A4 paper on the desk respectfully.
Name: Chamberlain.
Nationality: Chinese.
Height: 2.05 meters.
Weight: 91 kg.
Pitch position: power forward/center.
Team: Gonzaga University Bulldogs.
On this A4 piece of paper, there are only a few lines of text, and the rest are frontal photos of this person named Chamberlain, and a few photos of him playing.
But this is enough for Chen Yaohua. You must know that it is only 2003, and it is the moment when people's extreme thirst for understanding the NBA is floating on paper, and the market is becoming more and more exciting with Yao Ming's performance. This is not like the next few years, more and more people began to realize the benefits, go to the NBA to participate in a preseason, try out or something, to increase their reputation, resulting in the so-called NBA qualifications in the country gradually has a tendency to rot.
However, there is one thing that Chen Yaohua must confirm, and it is also the most important point: "Are you sure that his nationality is in China, not overseas Chinese?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiaowen firmly assured the leader: "Editor-in-chief, don't worry, I have already determined this, he is a domestic international student, and his household registration is in Lu Province, because of his outstanding height, he joined the basketball team of Gonzaga University, but he first played as a small forward. ”
As soon as he heard the assistant say it in such detail, it didn't look like a fraud, Chen Yaohua immediately patted the assistant's shoulder with a smile and praised: "Yes, Xiao Xu, is the work very meticulous? But how did you get this news?
"Coincidentally, it's a complete coincidence! I have a classmate who is studying for a master's degree at this university, and he told me before that there was a player from our country in their varsity team, but he was a substitute at the time, and he didn't get much chance to play, so I didn't care, until last night, my classmate suddenly told me that he was participating in the draft, and I realized that I had made a subjective mistake, and I looked for his specific information overnight, and rushed to report to you as soon as I confirmed it. ”
Xu Xiaowen nodded very doggedly and said to Chen Yaohua, which made Chen Yaohua's eyebrows more kind.
"Well, it's good that young people realize their mistakes and don't have to blame themselves. Xiao Xu, you continue to pay attention to this player's situation before the draft starts, come and report to me as soon as you have time, and you can call my mobile phone to contact me after work. ”
"What about this report?"
Xu Xiaowen asked cautiously.
"I will personally write the report about this player, but Xiao Xu, don't worry, I will remember your credit, and I won't let you suffer when the title is evaluated at the end of the year!"
Xu Xiaowen immediately showed surprise when he heard this: "Thank you leader, thank you leader!" But he kept slandering in his heart: "Dead fat man, dead fat pig, and robbed grandpa of his credit." But this is good news for the player surnamed Zhang, the dead fat man will definitely be in the front position in the typography, I also contribute to the national basketball, and now I just hope that he can be selected by a team!"
June is not the hottest weather of the year, but for those who still have to work under the scorching sun, it is enough to experience the ruthlessness of nature.
In the shade of the construction site, Lao Zhang sat on a stool on tiptoe with a few bricks, smoking dry tobacco, and the time to eat after lunch was a rare leisure time for him, without tired work or the torment of the scorching sun.
"Lao Zhang, Lao Zhang!"
Suddenly, a rapid cry came into his ears from far and near, and when Lao Zhang heard the voice, he saw that it was Xiao Wang, a young worker.
Seeing that young face, tanned by the scorching sun, and thinking that the hands were also calloused, Lao Zhang couldn't help laughing, and a strong sense of pride rose in his heart. He thought of his son Chamberlain: "My baby has a future, and I don't have to work hard like Xiao Wang to eat!"
Xiao Wang ran to the shade where Lao Zhang was, and stuffed a newspaper in his hand into Lao Zhang's eyes: "Lao Zhang, is this your big brother?"
Lao Zhang looked at the handsome and quiet face on the newspaper, and reached out and snatched the newspaper from Xiao Wang's hand.
"Yao Ming is second, a basketball player who is about to land in the NBA!"
Lao Zhang only had time to read the title, and Xiao Wang asked anxiously on the side: "Is this your eldest brother?"
"Yes, Lao Zhang, is this your boy?"
"Lao Zhang is about to be developed, and he has given birth to a promising boy!"
At this point, a few more workers rushed over when they heard the news and interjected.
Lao Zhang, who was very puzzled, involuntarily opened his mouth. Like all parents in the world, the happiest thing is to hear others praise their children, even if it is against their will. However, Lao Zhang's son is really angry.
Originally, Lao Zhang was already preparing to praise the money for a few years, and planned to send him to the army for a few years to train after his son graduated, and give him a future.
Although the education he received did not make him have a good impression of American devils, he is a simple farmer, what is more important than his son's future?
Faced with the workers' gossip questions, Lao Zhang couldn't help laughing heartily twice, nodded and said, "This is my kid, isn't it bad, but I haven't heard him say this, is this newspaper wrong?"
"Can you just call and ask?"
A co-worker came up with an idea.
Lao Zhang took out his mobile phone, and was about to dial it, when he suddenly thought of something: "At this point, I guess I also slept......"
At this time, Chamberlain did not sleep at all, as the draft time was getting closer and closer, he felt more and more unsteady, and it was more and more than two o'clock in the morning, he was still on the bed, tossing and turning and unable to sleep.
"Can I really be chosen?"
Chamberlain couldn't help but ask himself again nervously.
