Although Lech only said one sentence, "They want to sign before the Super Bowl", and did not explain the ins and outs, but for Lu Ke, this is enough - enough to reflect the sincerity of Pepsi and the weight of Indra, and it is no wonder that Jade has a different eye on Lu Ke.

Lu Ke smiled at Lehe, "I'm in his eyes, is it a piece of gold now?" He couldn't help but make a joke.

Lech shook his head and said solemnly, "No, it should be the money printing machine." ”

Lu Ke laughed happily, and then caught a figure out of his sight, he exchanged glances with Lehe, and became a little serious, and then the figure stopped not far in front of Lehe and Lu Ke, "Sorry, did I disturb your conversation?" ”

Indra, she is now in front of Lu Ke, showing a posture of taking the initiative.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm telling Bambi that I need to introduce you to him if I have a chance. As a result, you showed up, and I'm a little panicked right now. "Lech deserves to be a top agent, and a half-truth completes the introduction. Then, he stood between the two people, "Lu Ke, Indra; Indra, Lu Ke. ”

"Nice to meet you."

"Nice to meet you."

Lu Ke and Indra shook hands with each other again, and at this time Lu Ke had the opportunity to seriously look at the strong woman who changed the fate of Pepsi.

Before 2005, the industry hegemon was always Coca-Cola, and Pepsi was the second in 10,000 years; But since Indra joined PepsiCo in 1994 as senior vice president and chief strategy officer, she began to partially change PepsiCo's development strategy, and after becoming CEO, she ushered in the peak of her career, allowing Pepsi to defeat Coca-Cola for the first time in 2005, outpacing its competitors in market value.

Now, PepsiCo is encroaching on Coca-Cola's territory step by step, and it has grabbed three of the four major sports leagues in the United States, which is the most direct manifestation.

But Indra, who was standing in front of Lu Ke, looked like an amiable neighbor aunt, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, slightly baby fat cheeks, slender willow eyebrows, and a bright smile, not aggressive, but showing a confident and elegant neatness.

"Why, don't you believe I'm at the helm of Pepsi?" Indra sensed Lu Ke's gaze and keenly pointed out Lu Ke's speculation.

Although the "heart" was revealed, Indra was not aggressively sharp, and the expression of the quick words always carried a faint warm smile, as if the elders were ridiculing the juniors, and it seemed that they could wink at Lu Ke at any time, indicating that they also had a naughty side.

Lu Ke also laughed, "I'm sorry, I'll cover it up better next time." But I must explain that I am not surprised by your image; Rather, it was because I didn't expect the helmsman of Pepsi to appear in front of me, as if a rock star suddenly appeared, and I needed a little time to digest. ”

"Haha." Indra laughed out loud in response to this, "I didn't expect that I would be able to become a rock star, thank you very much." ”

People can't look good, the sea can't fight, and if you have doubts because of your appearance, it is a kind of disrespect in itself. Lu Ke himself deeply understands this truth - aside from the defeat, since entering the alliance, those discrimination and doubts are more or less closely related to Lu Ke's appearance; Naturally, Lu Ke will not despise the other party because of Indra's female identity, how can the big guy who has guarded Pepsi for 20 years be a vulgar person?

"Everyone who recognizes and embraces themselves, and who can stick to themselves, is a rock star." Lu Ke said to Indra with a smile, and after watching Indra laugh, Lu Ke continued, "That's what I told myself, and then I can pretend to be a rock star." ”

"Hahaha." Indra laughed heartily and bluntly, "I like you. I'm serious, I like you, no wonder you're at the helm of this team. Being confident and persistent, it sounds very easy, but it is actually very difficult. I'll admit, I'm not a rugby fan, but it was a really good game today and I know exactly how much effort it takes to beat such a strong opponent. ”

"As far as I know, the national sport of India is cricket, so you belong to the mainstream; Or is it individuality? Lu Ke did not humbly greet politely, but took the initiative to talk about the topic of "sports".

Indra was visibly interested, "Oh? Do you also like cricket? "That means she's a cricket-loving faction.

Lu Ke laughed happily, "No, no, no, no, I haven't touched cricket since I was a child, and at one point, I even thought cricket was baseball, I know I know, this is a serious mistake, but I'm trying to correct myself, I like tennis, and basketball, how about it, can this conversation continue?" ”

A bright smile bloomed on the corner of Indra's mouth, "This proves that you are not from a Commonwealth country." ”

Cricket, in fact, is a sport of the British aristocracy, the whole rule is set without too much strenuous running, and it can complete simple sports while avoiding sweating and disgrace, which is the sport that the aristocracy enjoys the most - in the upper class, it is more popular than tennis and golf; Later, during the period of British colonial rule in India, it was introduced to India by the British, and it was even considered to be one of the means for the British to consolidate colonial rule.

However, cricket has become a national sport in India, but it has a historical cause and a historical background, which is another story. The Cricket World Cup is now held every year, and there is also a cricket event in the Commonwealth Games.

As for the difference between cricket and baseball, it is even more burdensome to explain, and it can be simply said that baseball evolved from the foundation of cricket. It's kind of similar to the relationship between rugby and American football.

"Admit guilt. I'm from China, and our favorite is football and basketball, and I chose the latter. Lu Ke spread his hands, his face full of calmness.

Indra nodded her head slightly, "Perhaps, we can have a chance to discuss cricket, I will tell you the difference between it and baseball, and I also believe that you can be a good cricketer." After all, sports are all connected, and maybe you have a talent for cricket, too? There can be a passing pitcher in the cricket World Cup. ”

"Then football is going to lose a legendary quarterback." It was Lech who spoke, and he took over the conversation just right, which made Indra and Lu Ke both laugh.

simply took a picture, but three or five back and forth, Indra left a deep impression on Lu Ke:

Although she still retains a slight Indian English accent, her generous and dignified self-confidence keeps her words clear and mellow, without any impact at all, and she is absolutely able to express the meaning completely and directly; Not only that, but her speed of speech is brisk and agile, and she can fully keep up with Lu Ke's reaction speed - even Lech, even reporters, they can't keep up, and Indra's words also have a unique temperament, and the warm and soft tone is full of excitement and enthusiasm, full of emotion, infectious, and always immersive.

The brief conversation, Lu Ke and Indra's back and forth did not leave Lehe a chance to interject at all, but it kept both sides in a happy mood, the collision of ideas and the exchange of humor, always maintained a relaxed and tense state, which also made the conversation a kind of enjoyment.

Indra paused slightly, "Is there anything planned for tonight?" My private yacht is docked right now in the Port of Seattle and is ready for a little party, so you can join us if you want and hop back on the yacht for San Francisco. At this point, Indra raised her hands in a gesture of surrender and said with a smile, "I know that this journey will certainly not compare to the magnificence and grandeur of Seattle to Las Vegas, but you know what? Coastal Highway 101 is one of the most worthwhile stretches of coast on the entire West Coast, and you'll be in for a trip. ”

Lu Ke turned his head to look at Lech, cast an inquiring gaze, and he also thought slightly, "Take the yacht back to San Francisco, or wait for the next time, the eight hundred miles of sea, it may take a while, and the Candlestick Stadium is still waiting for us to celebrate together." ”

Lech and Indra exchanged glances:

Indra obviously didn't expect Lu Ke's reaction, how many professional players and how many top people in North America are looking forward to appearing at Indra's private yacht party, but there is no possibility at all, but Lu Ke can stay calm, still focus on his identity, and not get carried away, which is really rare.

But Lech was not surprised at all, and gave Indra an affirmative and proud look, as if to say: I told you that he was a special lad.

After a brief interplay of eyes, Indra then said, "Then that's it, allow me to escort you back to San Francisco by private jet, so that we can have a good conversation, and I can explain to you in detail the difference between cricket and baseball, and even tell you the historical origin of cricket." Are you interested? ”

Lu Ke knew that this was Indra's true purpose. Avoid the other players of the San Francisco 49ers and talk to Lu Ke alone about the cooperation agreement.

In fact, if he could, Lu Ke still wanted to be with his teammates, and he wanted to return to the Candlestick Stadium to celebrate this hard-won victory together; But Lech must have had his intentions in making such an arrangement. What's more, rejecting Indra twice in a row is not a gentleman's doing.

"Of course, it's my pleasure!" Lu Ke showed a big smile, "Please allow me to say goodbye to my teammates, I will show off to them and leave in their jealous eyes." I think they should also be very interested in the origin of cricket. ”

Smart, wise, humorous.

Indra had already begun to like Lu Ke.
