Guo Xu returned to his newly rented apartment, slept beautifully, and was woken up by a phone call from Harpy Waters at noon.

"When you get up, someone will bring you a computer and a TV in a while, and I will also order a deep-dish pizza and sausage takeout for you."

Guo Xu has become famous before he officially signs a contract, Harpy wakes up with a smile in his dreams at night, and works very hard, both as an agent and as an assistant. He took care of everything he went out to buy, and Guo Xu only played and played.

Yesterday, a battery merchant contacted Harpy and wanted to find Guo Xu as a spokesperson, saying that Guo Xu's abundant physical strength can reflect the super battery life, which is nonsense. Harpy pushed it without even thinking about it, not because he didn't want Guo Xu to shoot a funny advertisement, but because the other party gave too little money. He firmly believes that Guo Xu's value will continue to increase after the start of the regular season, and he is not in a hurry to receive endorsements, but has a long-term vision.

"Thanks, what's going on with the contract?"

"The Lakers have provided a 1+1 base salary contract according to the regulations, with full guarantee for the first year and a team option for the second year. Tomorrow night there will be a press conference, the players will show their new jerseys, today you have to decide on the back number, what number do you want to choose? ”

As long as the number has not been retired by the team and no player has chosen the number, the player can choose according to their personal preference. Let's say the Lakers retired Chamberlain's No. 13, and the team can't have that number anymore.

Future players can also change their back numbers, and according to the regulations, they must apply to the league at least six months in advance. If someone does not apply in advance according to the regulations, whether it is the player or the team who changed the number, they will be penalized by the league. Jordan's first comeback was fined a total of $100,000 that season for not applying in advance.

Guo Xu had a plan to choose the most representative figures. "I'll pick number 58."

"Why do you choose such an unpopular number? Maybe no one in the league has used No. 58. Some media say that you are like Iverson, why don't you choose No. 3? The Lakers have an empty number. Harpy proposed.

"58 is my overall pick in this year's draft, and it's memorable. Choosing it strengthens people's memories and makes them remember that I am the last one and makes it easier for me to compete for the best rookie. No one has ever used it better, and I just had to play one game and I'm the greatest player in NBA history. "What Guo Xu wants is a gimmick to become famous, and he can change his number when he leaves the Lakers in the future.

He won't use the number 58 forever, and it would be unlucky to use this number if he led the team again.

"What the hell is this logic? Forget it, whatever you want, I'll report it and hang up. Harpy was easily persuaded, he figured out Guo Xu's character, and what he recognized would not change.

Everything was decided, waiting for tomorrow's announcement, Guo Xu called home to report the good news, and chatted for more than an hour.

The whole family is very happy, they have been paying attention to Guo Xu's news these days, and the most excited thing is that he posted a bunch of Guo Xu's new posters in the hotel, and when they see people, they say that this is my grandson!

Guo Xu invited them to come to Los Angeles to play, but all four of them refused, saying that they liked the environment of East Lansing, the pace of life was slow, and it was very safe. They told Guo Xu to be careful when living in Los Angeles, try not to go out at night, and put safety first.

One of the major characteristics of Los Angeles is that the rich live in the suburbs, and the poor live in the city center, except for the "old city" in the eyes of some white people, the streets are basically homeless and black, which is completely different from the eastern metropolis.

In fact, the law and order in Los Angeles is not bad, after all, the first official SWAT team in the United States was built in Los Angeles in the late 60s, and by 1975, there were about 500 SWAT troops, and today there are thousands of them. Armed to the teeth, this gang of counter-strikers has enough firepower to deal with Resident Evil and the alien invasion.

Someone came to knock on the door Guo Xu hung up the phone, and when he opened the door, he saw a woman dressed solemnly and with elegant manners, who looked to be in her thirties, with brown hair and blue eyes.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?"

"I'm Darrens Fox who lives across the street, and it's nice to meet you." Darrens smiled.

"Hello, Mrs. Fox, I'm Jason Kwok." Guo Xu now firmly believes that there is a little beauty living opposite, she must have inherited her mother's good genes, and the person in front of her does not look like a 14-year-old daughter at all.

"Wait......" Darrens said with his eyes wide, covering his mouth with one hand, and incredulously, "Are you the best rookie of the Lakers?" I saw you on the news in the morning. ”

Sure enough, I'm already a star in Los Angeles, and the little beauty across from me will definitely adore me.

Guo Xu's vanity was greatly satisfied, his heart blossomed, his face was still light, and he said in a deep voice: "That's right, I am the rookie of the Lakers." ”

I have to keep a low profile and not be proud to win the college MOP and the Long Beach Summer League MVP, success? I'm just on my way!

"It's great to be your neighbor, and my daughter will be happy to know that she and her dad are Lakers fans." Darrens pulled out a pack of cookies. "This is a cookie made by my daughter, please try it."

"Thank you, it's delicious when you look at it." Guo Xu complimented.

The biscuits are all small animal images, lions, tigers, elephants, etc., and he also saw a head of Winnie the Pooh.

He couldn't figure out how it was done, but he believed that the person who could make this kind of biscuit must have a gentle personality, a kind heart, filial piety and ability, a good education, and equal value for wisdom and beauty.

The small gift made Guo Xu feel very comfortable, as Austin said, it is important to have a good neighbor. After a few pleasantries, he asked about Darrens's daughter and wanted to meet this big Lori.

"She's not at home, she's been busy studying acting lately, and she's only coming back in the evening, and she's going to the Bahamas with Austin next week to make a movie." Darrens was proud to mention his daughter.

Guo Xu was a little regretful and smiled: "Well, I heard Austin say that "Holiday in the Sun" is about to start filming. He also said that your daughter is very beautiful and will definitely become a big Hollywood star. ”

Darrens covered his mouth and smiled: "How can she be so good, I am satisfied that she can be a TV star star." This kid has a bit of a confused personality, often says the wrong thing and does the wrong thing, and if I am not in Los Angeles in the future, I will ask you and Austin to help take care of her more. ”

"No problem, it's a trivial matter." Guo Xu is willing to meet people in the entertainment industry, which is one of the great joys of living in Los Angeles.

The two chatted a few more words and went back to the house.

Darrens was very happy after getting Guo Xu's assurance, and it was a complete surprise that his neighbor was an NBA star. Culture and sports are not separated, Guo Xu's fame is much greater than Austin, a newcomer in the entertainment industry, and his daughter can gain popularity and increase exposure as long as she becomes friends with him, which will be of great help to her career.

If the two develop into lovers in the future, Darrens can accept it. Guo Xu's information was disclosed by the media, he was born on November 24, 1981, and was only 19 by the end of this year, a difference of less than five years. She looks at Guo Xu so pleasing to the eye, polite, young and promising, and that face is very righteous at first glance.

Darrens, as a "person who has come over", hopes that his daughter's circle of friends will be elites. She had a failed marriage, and when she was young, she believed in loving love and married a poor Indian, gave birth to two daughters, and the family lived a miserable life. After she remarried, she grounded her two daughters and hardly allowed them to contact the opposite sex, for fear that they would repeat the same mistakes.

Guo Xu belongs to the kind of elite she is optimistic about, and the potential is too great!
