"What, you don't believe me? I'm a thunderbolt...... Hey, hey, hey......"

"Even~~ Damn guy!" In the hotel, tall Joe Thomas walked around, his face no longer had the calmness of his time in Zhengzhou University, and his old face was deeply furrowed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info he opened the curtains, let the starlight outside the house shine in, looked at the brightly lit city, and reached out to light a Chinese brand cigarette.

Thomas is not a person with great energy, and it is not easy for him to use the contacts he has accumulated over the years to introduce Li Dong to American universities. He was very distressed about this.

On the one hand, after watching Li Dong's games, he is convinced of the potential of this teenager with huge energy, and he believes in his scouting eyes for many years, as long as Li Dong is not injured, and then the training of the NCAA system is at least the level of ordinary substitute players in the NBA, and then with the influence of China's huge market, Li Dong is a cornucopia.

On the other hand, he wants to help Li Dong enter a university in the United States by using the condition of becoming Li Dong's agent in the future, so as to change his current living conditions. You must know that the agent of an NBA basketball player in the United States is a sweet job, and he has worked in the lawyer industry, and he thinks that he is definitely qualified for such a job.

Thomas hesitated for a long time, picked up the phone on the table, and then put it down again, hesitating two or three times but still unable to make up his mind. Finally, he shook his head, turned on his computer, and then quickly tapped the keyboard in front of the computer screen, and finally pressed the enter key with a "bang", and then the whole person lay down on the rocking chair as if he had exhausted his strength.

It didn't take long for the computer to "tick" and Joe Thomas, as if receiving a signal, put his whole face in front of the computer screen, and the mouse quickly clicked on the computer.

After half a ring, Joe Thomas suddenly burst into a nervous laugh and clenched his fists and roared, "YES! YES！ ”

Joe Thomas was so happy that he was even able to do a dance, he swung around the room twice, then collapsed on the big bed, and then smirked a few times, as if he saw the day when he would enter the NBA agent industry and get paid so much.

It was at this moment that his makeshift phone rang in China, interrupting his expanding fantasies. Joe Thomas frowned, his temporary phone number in China was not known to many people, and suddenly, his eyes lit up: Could it be a call from Li Dong?

He rushed over with a brisk step, and then slid the mobile phone screen, casually saying a non-standard Mandarin: "Hello! ”

In Li Dong's home, Yang Lei and Li Zhong sat in the living room. Li Dong listened to the sound of "toot" and made an OK gesture to his parents.

Yang Lei excitedly grabbed Li Zhong's hand: "Dial, dial!" “

"Be quiet, don't disturb your son.?" Although Li Zhong's heart was also excited, his expression was relatively calm.

"Oh!" Yang Lei covered her mouth.

At this time, the phone was connected, and the two stopped whispering.

Li Dong picked up a blank piece of paper, which was full of English words, and some sentences that were obviously written just now.

"Hello, Mr. Joe Thomas, I'm Li Dong. Sorry to disturb your rest tonight, but my parents and I think it's a big deal. My parents were very supportive of me being able to go to college in the United States, but they didn't know much about the specifics and details, so I wanted to make an appointment with you to talk about it. ”

Joe Thomas heard the somewhat childish voice again, and he tried a little hard to hear it, but he understood most of it, nodded frequently, and then replied in a very slow voice, "No problem, no problem." Tang, I know this means a big deal for you, and I'll be going to Principal Liu in the next few days. Well, I'll have time tomorrow morning, and I think we can go to the principal's office and discuss it again. “

Li Dong kept frowning, although Joe Thomas slowed down his speech, there were still some words that he couldn't remember for a while, but Principal Liu and Tomorrow morning still understood, so he broke off, and directly gritted his teeth and said that he understood: "Okay, I understand, Mr. Joe Thomas, goodbye." “

"Goodbye?" Joe Thomas was stunned, but reflexively responded, "Okay, goodbye." ”

In a conversation that was so short that it was not good, Li Zhong and Yang Lei saw their son hang up the phone, and asked one after another, "How is it?" Son. Li Dong took a breath, and then suddenly smiled, "No problem, I'm going to find Principal Liu tomorrow morning!" Mom and Dad, you have to come with me this time! ”

Yang Lei and Li Zhong glanced at each other, and then both of them showed embarrassed expressions on their faces. "Why tomorrow morning, can't it be Sunday?" Yang Lei said with some dissatisfaction, but she still nodded, "Okay, I'll go and ask the company for a leave, Lao Li, you can also ask for half a day off with the factory tomorrow!" ”

Li Zhong said: "That's the only way." ”

Li Dong stuck out his tongue and laughed happily, as soon as he thought of being able to go to the center of world basketball and compete with all kinds of masters, his whole body trembled with excitement, and he felt that a heart was beating incessantly, as if he had put a bomb and was about to explode!

Li Zhong and Yang Lei didn't know why Li Dong was so excited, they just hoped that their son could have a better way out, and going to the United States to study in college completely broadened their thinking, which was a broader path. Yang Lei looked at her cheering son and sighed, but immediately became happy again, with all kinds of emotions in her heart, some lost, some reluctant, and some happy, regretting why she didn't find more time to spend with her child before.

Li Dong secretly picked up his mobile phone in the room and sent a QQ message.

Li Dong: Are you there? I'm going to college in the United States!

Xing Jinwen: Huh?! It's really fake, you haven't met some kind of liar, have you?

Li Dong: That's how it happened. This Mr. Joe Thomas is a top scout for the Thunder, and he has a big influence in the city, and I don't think he's a liar.

Xing Jinwen: Aren't you going to go to Zhengzhou anymore? Where do you go to college in the United States?

Li Dong: I don't know which school it is, and I don't know how many processes we need to go through. It is estimated that the possibility of the Russian city is relatively large, after all, the metropolis.

Xing Jinwen: Then congratulations, you have become a giant turtle......

Li Dong: ......

……

The next day's office of the president of Zhengzhou University.

It's still an office like that, but there are five people sitting down to talk. Dong Li, President Liu, Zhong Li, Lei Yang, and Joe Thomas.

Joe Thomas felt like he was facing four interviewers, especially the only woman, and he almost didn't give himself a face.

As an elite in the industry, President Liu is no stranger to college students studying in the United States, and he said to Mr. and Mrs. Li Zhong: "If this Mr. Joe Thomas can really get an invitation letter to study in an American university, the visa or something will become simpler, and the country is currently encouraging this aspect, and more and more teenagers are studying abroad every year, I think it is a good way out." In the future, whether you return to China to find a job or something, it can be regarded as an addition to your resume. ”

Li Zhong nodded, "Principal Liu, I believe you, but there is another question, that is, when is the specific time to go to the United States?" ”

After listening to President Liu's reaction, Joe Thomas said: "It's very simple, wait for the invitation letter from there, and after the visa here is completed, you can go to the United States!" ”

Li Zhong and Yang Lei glanced at each other, Yang Lei nodded, Li Zhong was encouraged, and then asked stubbornly: "Mr. Joe Thomas, I don't think this matter is good for you or Thunder, can you tell us why we help Xiao'er so much?" ”

Joe Thomas's tears flashed, this Chinese is really smart, they have thought of this step before I even open my mouth. He hesitated a little, but then said very sincerely, "To be honest, I am very optimistic about your son's future career path. I'm kind of emotionally invested now, and if Li Dong can become a professional athlete in the future, I hope you will consider signing me as a basketball agent, which has always been a dream of mine. ”

After listening to Joe Thomas's words, it dawned on everyone that this old man had this idea.

Li Zhong's bold personality was immediately reflected, he patted his chest and said, "No problem! Brothers! We have an old Chinese saying that "the grace of a drop of water should be reciprocated by a spring", if it can really help my son embark on a broader path, we will definitely have more cooperation and contact in the future! ”

Li Zhong said this, but Principal Liu, who was bitter about the translation, reluctantly conveyed his meaning. After hearing this, Joe Thomas laughed, his eyes were full of smiles, "This is the sentence I am most looking forward to, don't worry, I will do my best!" ”
