1467 Ownership of the home
Anderson-Strathmore worked hard for nearly six months before finally becoming Lu Ke's financial planner, which also became an important turning point in Anderson's career.
In Anderson's words, Lu Ke knows exactly what he is doing, and he also knows the life he wants to have in the future, which is really rare for a professional player, but has the demeanor of those top financial people and business people on Wall Street in New York - just a little conservative in terms of investment, which is a good and bad thing for the job of financial planners, who can easily persuade customers to make investments but do not have much room to play.
But what is more important is Lu Ke's attitude towards life.
Lu Ke's investment philosophy is becoming a role model for more people, and other players in the San Francisco 49ers have said that they have no concept of their property, but seeing Lu Ke manage his property like this, he subconsciously feels that "smart people's choices are the right ones", so several players such as Logan, Marcus, Rupatti and Jean have followed in Lu Ke's footsteps and handed over their salaries to Anderson to take care of, and I heard that Stephen Curry and JJ Watt are also the same.
It took almost no effort for Anderson to complete the development of his career. Not only that, Lu Ke has now faintly become the most important celebrity in San Francisco, and Anderson's fame has also expanded within the industry, and the follow-up effects are incalculable.
Aldon had a relationship with Anderson, but he wasn't listening at all, because his wealth was largely unmanaged, and Wallace was nominally a bookkeeper. He had thought that he and Wallace would never be able to tear their faces apart, and that the bond of trust between them was irreplaceable; But now, things are different.
Perhaps, he needs to reimagine his career.
Standing in front of Lu Ke's house, Aldon couldn't help but look carefully, surrounded by tall pine trees and dwarf lilacs, using a small garden to cover the windows and glass passages of the house, avoiding reporters and fans from looking at the door, but not as tightly wrapped as the manories of Hollywood superstars in Beverly Hills, and not completely separated from the other residences on the road.
The brick-red façade and pitch-black eaves of the building are revealed among the trees, the smoky gray curtains and lime shutters can be faintly seen, and the bright brown wooden floors and black and white marble are faintly revealed.
Aldon actually doesn't remember what it was like to come to Lu Ke's house last time, it should be when he was in his rookie season, the only thing that is certain is that Lu Ke hadn't bought the house next door at that time, and the two houses hadn't been opened, he just heard about it from time to time within the team; Now that I've finally seen it with my own eyes, I can't help but feel a little envy in my heart, but Aldon himself doesn't understand where this envy comes from-
He owns a more luxurious mansion than this, doesn't he? After the draft was over and the first signing bonus was given, he and Wallace couldn't wait to splurge on the mansions, cars and parties, and really enjoy life; But now, aside from the party, his memories of home are only vague.
Thinking about it seriously, Aldon couldn't remember where his salary and bonuses were spent, and it seemed like that...... Gone?
Suddenly, the focus of my eyes gathered again and fell on the house in front of me, and the memories of my rookie season came to life again—the projector in the living room, the floor-to-ceiling windows that let the sun in completely, the gym in the next room, and the large refrigerator stuffed with healthy food.
Aldon himself didn't realize that he had found a "taste of home" here, not very luxurious, but a little messy; It's not a luxury, but it's full of life; It's not very enjoyable, but it's closely related to Lu Kedi's life. Living here is the starting point of everyday life, not an empty space filled with countless strangers – the first thought that often comes to Aldon's mind when he gets drunk and sobers is: Where is this? But such a thing can never happen here.
So, why did he come here?
Wasn't he supposed to go to the training ground? Isn't he supposed to be calm and calm? Shouldn't he be worried about Willis? But why did you unconsciously come to Lu Ke's house?
Today is a rest day, Lu Ke and Candace should be enjoying leisure time, or going back to their parents' house - Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning, Aldon awakened his memory again, before Lu Ke moved in the rookie season, their group of first-graders often gathered at Lu Ke's parents' house to learn the tactical manual, Jiang Youning would always bake all kinds of biscuits, pastries and Chinese-style steamed buns, so that their group of strong men would never go hungry.
He missed that time.
Alton thought about it, he thought it was better for him to leave, not to disturb Lu Ke's rest day; But with so much thought in his mind, he couldn't start the engine again at all, and finally the ghost came to the door of the house, and before he knew it, he had already rang the doorbell.
"Who's there?" A voice came over the intercom.
Aldon was stunned - this was not Lu Ke's voice, he looked left and right in panic, could it be that he had found the wrong door? "Uh, I'm Aldon-Smith, I'm looking for Lu Ke's home......" Aldon couldn't turn around a corner, and said hesitantly, "Could it be that I'm in the wrong place?" ”
In the next second, the door opened, and Aldon saw Rupati's honest face, "Hey, Aldon." ”
Aldon became more and more surprised, and looked at Rupati with a stunned face, "You...... How did you end up here? What about Bambi? ”
Rupati was not good at words, and did not explain much, but just gestured inside, "Are you ready to come in?" After a pause, he added, "You're not looking for the wrong address." ”
Aldon walked in in a daze, the decoration in front of him still hasn't changed much, the projector has been officially hung on the ceiling, the surrounding environment has become more warm and private, the original random scattered cushions and sofa piers around the sofa have disappeared, now only some pillows are casually thrown there, and you can see fashion magazines and movie Blu-ray discs on the coffee table, faintly catching the traces left by Candace.
"Everybody's next door." Rupati explained awkwardly, "Now this is Bambi's private house, and Sugar Candy has spent a lot of effort putting it in order, and Anne often comes here; We all entered through the door next door, and occasionally came here to look for food or something. ”
There were incoherent explanations, and there was no context at all between the words and the discourse, but Aldon understood it. It's just that he couldn't say anything, and he didn't know how to express the question marks in his head, but they just accumulated one after another, and finally he could only follow Rupati's footsteps and continue to move forward.
Turn the corner on the left-hand side, leave the whole beige-toned space, and enter a glass boardwalk, today's San Francisco has no sunlight spilling, but you can still see the cityscape on the right-hand side and the distant Bay Area coastline, like Alice in Wonderland through the rabbit hole, and then enter another bright space with a light gray tone.
"It's you? We were just betting that Anne was coming? Crabtree sat down on the low couch at the entrance, tilted his head, raised his right hand, and high-fived Aldon, speaking in a relaxed tone, next to Vernon Davis, who had not practiced with the team for a long time, and Garrett Seleck, who had not practiced with the team for a long time.
Seeing Aldon, Salek stood up in a bit of a panic, only to be pressed down by Jonathan Goodwin's shoulders as a passerby, "Every time someone shows up, you stand up and say hello?" Tired or not? Your rules are like oriental etiquette, you probably didn't specifically investigate Chinese hospitality in order to come here as a guest? Bambi won't mind that, just relax. ”
Not far away, diagonally on the left, Ted Jean and Donte Wittler can be seen arguing about the wide receiver's running route and the cornerback's early carding route, the two of them nodded casually to Aldon, and continued to argue without pause, with a completely focused expression, but the content of the argument is almost heavenly, this route and that route, which makes people dizzy.
Alex Boone and Ahmed Brooks were on the path of Aldon's advancement, and the two were arguing about the offensive and defensive tactics of a certain offensive slogan, what "Bambi said that such tactics don't need to think too much", what "making predictions in advance is the core", "what "the task of the offensive front line is to adjust according to the quarterback" and so on, and they didn't notice Aldon's appearance at all.
Then in the midst of the bustling crowd, Aldon saw Justin Smith sitting silently on the couch, his expression revealing a sense of loneliness, his eyes were intently flipping through the tactical manual in his hand, but he was not reading it carefully at all; The sound of bottles colliding can also be heard in the kitchen, and although you can't see the picture, you can also imagine a group of strong men looking for food in the kitchen, which should have some similarities with the scene of a rhinoceros drinking water.
Navoro-Bowman didn't know where to get out of the back and grabbed Aldon's shoulder, startling Aldon, but Navoro didn't care at all, and suppressed Aldon's movements with his strength, "Mike, thank you for opening the door." Then he looked at Aldon and explained simply, "Justin still can't accept Patrick's injury, you know, his own injury has been getting better and worse. We can't persuade him now, we can only divert him. ”
It's really too much information, and Aldon really doesn't know where to start, "What about Bambi?" ”
