Chapter 294: Competition
Dinner time passed quickly, and the atmosphere was very warm as the crowd ate and talked. Claire is especially lively, and all kinds of weird questions make everyone laugh, just a little pistachio.
At this moment, Zhen Fan's mobile phone rang. He said sorry to the women, and then walked into the living room, where the laughter of the women in the dining room could be faintly heard.
"Brother Zhen, it's me!" On the other end of the phone was Wei Chao's voice.
Zhen Fan smiled: "What? Is Henry urging you to contact me again? You asked him to call me himself, he's a smart man, he knows what to call you! β
Wei Chao smiled bitterly and said: "It's not him this time, it's the team's head coach Mike, he's a little anxious, you know, Henry and the Pete Howard you mentioned, you must know his name, and now he's lying on the hospital bed, and...... He called me too......"
It seems that they are all eager for Zhen Fan to go, and it is not very urgent to sign a contract, but Howard's injury is directly related to the Lakers' record, especially the current playoffs. D'Antoni knew that he couldn't ask Zhen Fan directly, so he took a roundabout approach and asked Wei Chao to call him.
"Okay, I'll go tomorrow!" Realizing Wei Chao's difficulties, Zhen Fan agreed.
Wei Chao was very happy: "Thank you, Brother Zhen, you are here, I am the east, you can eat whatever you want!" β
"Okay, no more nonsense, see you tomorrow!" Zhen Fan hung up the phone and returned to the dining table, except for Claire, several women put down their knives and forks and were chatting.
"I might sign with the Lakers!" Zhen Fan sat down and interjected.
"What?" Several women except Mia. They all looked at him in surprise.
"When did you become a basketball player? Your height was ignored by Mr. D'Antoni? Julia joked, "Compared to those basketball players, you're a little bit shabby." β
"Nope. I'm their team doctor, certainly not the kind who has to stay there every day, I only treat key people. Pete Howard, for example. Zhen Fan smiled, "But I haven't signed a contract yet, of course whether it can be done or not depends on my lawyer Charles, if he can't do it well." I'll fire him! β
"Congratulations!" Caroline stretched out her hand to Zhen Fan across the table, and the two shook it gently.
Zhen Fan smiled: "It's not a congratulations, it's just mutual benefit." They pay me and I give them the treatment they deserve. β
At this time, Claire suddenly put down her knife and fork and stared at Zhen Fan with wide eyes: "Uncle Zhen." Will you make lots and lots of money? It's like my dad! β
Hear this. Anne fell silent suddenly. Thomas hadn't been here for a long time, and he had paid alimony directly to Anne's credit card. Claire hadn't seen Thomas in a long time, and she missed him a little.
"This ...... Yes, it will be much more than Mr. Thomas! Zhen Fan smiled, trying to ease the atmosphere, and gently pinched Claire's face, "Why do you ask that?" β
"Will you leave us?" Claire asked quietly and worriedly, "Dad is because he is rich." I just left my mother and me, Uncle Zhen. Will you leave me and mom too? β
Anne was a little embarrassed this time, she glared at Claire and shouted in a long voice, "Claireβ" she tried to stop Claire from continuing.
"Alright, alright, I see, Mom!" Although Claire didn't say anything, she still looked at Zhen Fan with a flicker, looking forward to his answer.
"Zhen, I'm sorry, Claire......" Anne tried to apologize to Zhen Fan.
"No, no, Annie, Claire is right, it's one thing to be rich, but it's not the best excuse for me to get out of here. I have best friends and neighbors here, so why go anywhere else? Zhen Fan looked at Claire and smiled, "If the lovely Claire grows up and wants to leave here and fly away, I will only consider whether to leave!" β
"Isn't that mother lonely?" Claire's addition made Anne so ashamed that she just wanted to find a crack in the ground and get in, how could this kid talk!
"Okay, let's not talk about that, Claire, you're done eating, let's go to the living room and watch TV!" Anne gave the order. Claire pouted and left dissatisfied.
This dinner party made Claire a little uncomfortable for Anne, so Zhen Fan and Mia took their leave, and Caroline also went out, hugged Anne, and smiled at Zhen Fan.
"Zhen, goodbye!" Caroline took two steps, suddenly turned around, and Zhen Fan gently kept it, then let go and walked towards the car she parked.
"Don't send her?" Mia smiled from the sidelines.
"She's a good girl!" Zhen Fan said a word that was not what he asked, and then returned to his room, and Mia stopped talking and quietly followed him.
Early the next morning, after Zhen Fan got up and washed, there was a bowl of mixed sauce noodles on the dining table, and Mia sat quietly at the dining table, waiting for Zhen Fan's arrival.
"This is a book about Chinese medicine, in English, you can take a good look at it, next to it is some of my thoughts in English annotations. And some of the things on the opposite side have been corrected, according to what I gave you, now all you have to do is pass the guΓ² medical qualification exam! β
Zhen Fan handed Mia a few books on traditional Chinese medicine, all of which were left by his cheap third uncle, which were in English, Zhen Fan made a lot of notes on them, and some things on the opposite side were re-made, and some of them were also explained with Taoist concepts, Mia was in contact with the aisle, and had a certain understanding, so it was easy to understand these things in traditional Chinese medicine.
The taste of the mixed sauce noodles is the same as last night's, and it is really good. After Zhen Fan finished eating, he left, he didn't disturb Mia to read, if there was something he didn't understand, Mia would usually take notes, and then ask Zhen Fan one by one, and wait for him to come back!
In the morning, he learned to fly at the Brest Flying School, or Zhen Fan flew the plane alone, after the first excitement and excitement, Zhen Fan was able to control his feelings, but the pleasant feeling of flying into the sky alone was still the same as yesterday, which made people unable to calm down for a long time.
When he came out of the flight school and arrived at the Lakers' training venue, it was exactly noon, and he called Wei Chao, and this guy immediately expressed excitement, and his voice was very high-pitched.
"Brother Zhen, I'll come out soon, where are you? The entrance to the training venue...... Okay, I'll be right there! Wei Chao now has a lot of respect for Zhen Fan, because of Zhen Fan, he has been treated by the teammates kindly; It is precisely because of Zhen Fan that the head coach looks at him a little differently.
Wei Chao hurriedly came out and saw Zhen Fan waiting for him at the door.
"Let's go, the group beats you and invites you to eat steak, there is a restaurant around here that tastes very good!" As soon as Wei Chao came out, he hugged Zhen Fan's shoulders and patted him affectionately.
"Loosen up, let go, don't let people think we're doing it!" Zhen Fan hurriedly slapped his hand away, "Guests are as good as they are, as long as it tastes good, let's go!" β
The two of them ordered food at a nearby steakhouse, because they had to train in the afternoon, so they didn't order wine, so the two of them drank some juice and chatted while eating, Wei Chao even talked about the provocation of McKinsey, and then said to Zhen Fan triumphantly: "You didn't see his face, it was like he had been beaten." β
"Brother Zhen, I watched your video of the Spring Festival Gala, didn't say anything, handsome, how did you do it?" Somehow talked about this, Wei Chao looked at Zhen Fan with a look of admiration, "Don't tell me that you have become an immortal?" That god horse David Copperfield is weak, in front of your magic. β
"Hehe, the secret of the magician can't be told to others, they are all known and imitated, and they are still performing a fart." Zhen Fan squirted, "Next time I'll give you a more shocking one!" β
"I don't understand, Brother Zhen, with your hands, you can definitely bring you huge wealth, what kind of doctor should you be?" Wei Chao grinned, "But being a doctor is not bad, the income is high, at least when treating Howard, he has to be ruthless, do you know how much his annual salary is?" Nineteen million five hundred and thirty thousand! β
"You think my knife is unpleasant?" Zhen Fan said with a smile, "I will definitely have a treatment fee that satisfies me, don't worry, I will invite you to dinner and come to my house when the time comes!" "Invited to go home, this fully shows that Zhen Fan has regarded him as his closest friend.
"That's a good feeling, come, let's go!" Wei Chao hurriedly lifted the juice and touched it with Zhen Fan.
The two ate and drank well, Zhen Fan looked at Wei Chao's feet and said with a smile: "How is it?" Okay, can you train normally? In my judgment, you should be able to do a team-wide practice. β
"Well, yes, yes, as soon as these two days passed, I was put into the team by D'Antoni to practice, and now I am the first substitute, and that guy is sitting on the cold bench!"
"Okay, let's go to the training gym, don't forget my words, even if you get to the NBA, I can still beat you." Zhen Fan clapped his hands and laughed at Wei Chao, "If you're afraid, then forget it!" β
"Who's afraid of whom!" Wei Chao was aroused by Zhen Fan's fighting spirit, he straightened his chest and shook his head at Zhen Fan, "Go, lead and teach your level, don't stay in the past!" β
The two of them walked to the training hall as they spoke, and no one had come to train at this time, so the two of them could have a confrontational competition.
"Alright, let's get started! You come first, I'll let you! Zhen Fan casually threw the basketball to Wei Chao.
Wei Chao knew that Zhen Fan was powerful, although he said it lightly, he still attached great importance to it in his heart, because counting the match with Zhen Fan last year, he was defeated by Zhen Fan's speed, changeable offensive methods and perverted bounce. He slapped the ball steadily, slowly pushing forward, using his body height and reach height to score.
I have to say that his idea was right, so as he advanced, he soon got to the basket, and then took a step back, shook off Zhen Fan, and made a backward jumper. The whole action is smooth, I have to say that Wei Chao's talent in this area is really good, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get into the NBA. (To be continued......)
