"Contracting the entire island? Oh, could it be that Bambi has signed a new endorsement again? That's a real big deal. ”
Jay is worthy of being a professional journalist on the job, and his understanding of Logan and Lu Ke is the icing on the cake, and he smells the news in just a few words - it is likely to be heavy, and he blurts out it by reflex, but his expression is relatively casual, just small talk between friends.
Lu Ke chuckled, did not deny or affirm, just replied ambiguously, "There are endorsements being negotiated now, but they have not been determined for the time being, and it will be known after the end of the season, Lech does not want to affect the preparation for the playoffs, and all negotiations and transactions have been suppressed, and I don't know the specific situation, their group of guys began to get excited one by one when they saw TMZ's chasing after the wind." ”
TMZ's coverage?
Isn't that a fight between Pepsi and the gods of Coca-Cola?
According to TMZ rumors, Lech does not want Lu Ke to accept the endorsement of fast food, because this does not fit well with Lu Ke's commercial brand image, and is currently negotiating brand cooperation such as perfume, custom suits, headphones, chocolate and coffee, etc., and is building Lu Ke's business empire step by step.
Clearly, fast food is not part of Lech's plan; However, as the number one superstar with the most commercial value in the North American market, the influence is strongly surpassing LeBron James, and even in the global market, thanks to the huge Chinese market, Lu Ke's commercial value has also grown by leaps and bounds among the top five in the world, which makes Pepsi can not give up easily, they are brewing a contract to create history, and Coca-Cola's competition is making this competition increasingly hot, and it is praised by TMZ as "Godzilla vs. King Kong".
Even putting aside the two "immortals", Lech's business endorsement projects that are being negotiated have reached double digits - not just a casual small business, but based on top brands on a global scale, all of which indicate that Lu Ke is creating incredible history.
Jay and Emily's eyes lit up slightly.
"But I told them that if they can defend their title this year, what's the problem with contracting the island? Regardless of whether the endorsement negotiation is successful or not, I can directly agree to let our whole team go on vacation collectively; It's just that before defending the title, it's best to shut up all of these topics to avoid distractions. Right now, Seattle is the most important thing! Obviously, someone forgot my instructions and couldn't help but talk more. ”
Lu Ke turned his head and glared at Logan viciously, severely condemning Logan's unscrupulous work; Then Logan immediately raised his hands in surrender, his eyes widened to emphasize his innocence, and even shrank his head and stepped back slightly, as if Lu Ke would transform into Godzilla at any time, and that appearance was also unbearable.
Emily smiled again, "I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive and said something inappropriate, but I really don't have any ill intentions. Emily pursed her lips at Lu Ke and Logan sincerely, paused consciously for a moment, as if asking for their forgiveness, and then looked at Jay, who also expressed her apologies, and then continued, "We are all looking forward to you successfully defending your title, this should be the hope of the entire Bay Area." ”
Everyone laughed, and the scene just now was revealed.
Lu Ke shrugged his shoulders slightly, "Don't put too much pressure on us, otherwise we may explode directly." A joke made the laughter more and more cheerful.
"How's it going, what's the state of preparation now? I've heard that Patrick Willis and Ted Jean have both returned from injury, is that true? Emily asked with a smile.
Lu Ke raised his gaze and glanced at Emily.
Because this is a sensitive topic, although the return of Willis and Jean is not a trade secret, Hubble still hopes that they can keep a low profile, on the one hand, do not pin too much hope on the injured, the state after returning from injury is still uncertain, and try to avoid putting too much pressure on them; On the other hand, to avoid letting the Seattle Seahawks find out about the team's preparations, the main lineup still needs to maintain some mystery.
On top of that, there are other minor injuries being dealt with within the squad right now, and although they won't affect the game, fluctuations in form are inevitable.
In order to relieve pressure and keep it secret, Hubble issued a gag order to the team inside and out, and kept silent about the team's injuries.
Now that Emily mentioned Willis and Jean again, Lu Ke immediately became sensitive/emotional, but after taking a closer look, he found that Emily had no special expression, it seemed that she was just casually asking the question, it should be that he was thinking too much, so Lu Ke showed a smile, "Let's pray that we can have a full lineup when we go to Seattle." ”
didn't answer directly, and said something speciously, and then Lu Ke changed the topic, "Jay, you haven't told us how you and Emily came together, and after graduation, do you have any special chance to meet again?" Wait, or did it start before you graduated? ”
Looking at Lu Ke's meaningful gaze, Jay waved his hand again and again to express his denial, "No, no, we only developed after graduation, speaking of which, are you or our Cupid?" Jay turned to look at Emily with a smile on his face that lit up with happiness.
"Me? Why don't I know? Lu Ke's eyes widened, and he was really confused.
Jay laughed too, "Honey, do you say or do you say?" The story of our reunion......" he cast an affectionate gaze towards Emily.
Emily spread out the napkin on the table and placed it on her lap, "Bambi, I understand that some circumstances may need to be kept secret, but the photos of Patrick and Ted returning to the team's training base have already been taken, so what else can't be said?" Why do you pretend to be mysterious? It's the age of social networks, mysticism is outdated and outdated, and we're not asking about tactical secrets, it's just injuries, I don't quite understand, why can't you take care of Jay? He needs these exclusives! Aren't you friends? ”
"Emily!" Jay's face suddenly turned ugly.
"I can't help it!" Logan hadn't spoken for a while, obviously upset, just enduring it for Jay's sake, but now he had given up, "I don't understand either, why are you holding on to this?" Bambi has just said, so to speak, we are all willing to tell Jay first, TMZ Those news of chasing the wind and shadows, didn't Bambi deny it? If you have the ability, you can keep digging, and why do you keep bothering us here? We don't say it, it's because we can't say it. Why are you endless? It's annoying! ”
Logan's temper is also up now, and his sentences are a little unsmooth, but the meaning is still clear, "Jay, I'm sorry, I really can't take it anymore, is this how you see me and Bambi?" Bad friends? Unwilling to give you exclusives? Is it just for the sake of exclusivity that we maintain our relationship? I didn't want to say it, you haven't asked us to have a party for nearly a year, Bambi and I asked you for a drink last Halloween, but you said something, and invited us over today, I thought it was just a brotherhood, but it turned out again, what are you when we are! ”
"Friends? Jay treats you as friends, do you treat Jay as friends? Emily's temper couldn't help it, and she said forcefully and directly, "Do you know how difficult Jay's situation is? It's not that he doesn't want to connect with you, but that you're so high that you can't be compared at all, okay? ”
"Jay, who's talking right now? Can her point of view be a substitute for yours? What she thinks is what you think? That's what you think of us? Logan didn't stop at all, staring at Jay unrelentingly, "So, this is an ugly idea?" "He also wanted to hear Jay admit it in person.
Emily didn't give Jay a chance, and cut it off again, "Let me tell you the truth, Jay thinks you are brothers, so he never told you: he's here now." The Los Angeles Times' situation is very difficult, Bambi's news, he has never gotten an exclusive, but he still insists on covering the San Francisco line, the editor-in-chief is not willing to trust him at all, there is no exclusive and no feature, his connections are not useful at all, and now the Los Angeles team excludes him, the San Francisco team laughs at him, not to mention the opportunity to be promoted, and even the opportunity to write a manuscript cannot be grabbed. ”
"You guys living in ivory towers, do you know that Jay could be eliminated at any moment? Tonight's dinner could cost him two weeks' salary! And why do you accuse him of calling yourselves his brothers, but have never helped him? Amusing! You keep talking about brothers, but you are the most selfish! Are you not ashamed? ”
"As friends, you've never really helped Jay, and you're embarrassed to eat and drink here under the name of 'brother'? You don't feel ashamed, I feel disgusting, it's disgusting! You're hurting Jay right now, don't you feel guilty at all? ”
"What's the use of friends if they can't help each other? You're even more boring than the next-door neighbor's dog! ”
The layers of attacks were cathartic, Logan was shocked by Emily's powerful momentum, Jay also drooped his shoulders in great despair, and Lu Ke never spoke, and in the end, only Emily was left to explode all her resentment and anger.
When I was a child, I was always willing to believe that some would never change, just like love, just like friendship; But in real life, I slowly found that eternity is a variable, and maybe some things do not change, but more often than not, things are always changing.
It's called ...... The world of adults, a cruel and boring world, a terrible world without dreams, expectations, and blood.
