Chapter 124: Family Gatherings

From March 13 to March 15, 2016, All-Star Weekend was held in Toronto, Canada.

It's a big event for the fans and those star players.

It's a very good break for the average player.

Of course, a lot of players who love to be social and lively will go to the scene.

Go to the sidelines to watch the game, watch the dunk contest, give interviews.

Participate in various activities, and it is good to mix up familiar faces.

Maybe you can hook up with a team's director off the field.

Or be able to be friends with a certain celebrity.

In this way, it is possible to eat in the team with a mixed contract.

Although the NBA is the highest league in the world.

But it's also the most conservative circle of relationships.

Whether you can eat here or not depends on your background and relationship.

Why can some players who are not at the same level mix up a contract with the Water Cooler Guardian?

Is it because of the high level?

Not necessarily.

Many high-level players play in Europe and China.

And these players who can't play can stay in the top flight.

In addition to a little ability, it depends on relationships.

Have a good relationship with the team manager, the owner, or the star of the house.

You can have a base salary contract mixed up.

Don't underestimate a basic salary contract.

That's hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars.

How many people can't earn so much money in their lifetime.

So in the NBA this inbreeding circle.

It's important to have relationships.

The All-Star Game is a great opportunity to get into a relationship.

Of course, Wang Shuang gave up such an opportunity.

First he had to rest.

Second, he has more important relationships to work on.

On the night of the 15th, when the All-Star Game was in full swing.

Wang Shuang changed into a formal suit.

This formal outfit is exactly what he wore to the NBA Draft.

Then he took a taxi to the estate in Beverly Hills.

Attended a family dinner at Jessica Chen's house.

Before going, Wang Shuang was very muttering.

What's going on with other people's family dinners?

When I arrived, I found out that it was not the kind of Chinese family banquet where the family sat together.

It's a Western-style party.

Same as the last Jessica Chan's birthday party.

Everyone is in the house, in the yard, by the pool.

Walk around, chat, eat and drink at will.

This kind of gathering is more casual.

It doesn't matter if there are a lot of people you don't know.

Of course, such a family banquet still has a core character.

That's the Chen family, Jessica Chen's aunt and uncle, and their family.

and Jessica Chen.

Wang Shuang's arrival caused a small sensation.

Jessica Chen's uncle and aunt all came over to say hello to Wang.

Jessica Chen's grandfather is Chinese and her grandmother is American.

Later, most of their children were married to Americans.

Therefore, Jessica Chen's cousins and cousins look very European and American.

There are very few Asian features on the body.

Only Jessica Chen's father married a Chinese woman.

Jessica Chan has the most Chinese ancestry.

Because of this, Jessica Chan is the most loved by her grandfather.

After the death of his parents and grandfather.

Jessica Chan inherited most of the estate.

This made my aunt and uncle very angry.

Especially her uncle Kevin Chan.

As the only son in the current family, he considers himself the heir to the inheritance.

Who knows that the old man would rather give it to his granddaughter than give it to him.

They have also fought lawsuits for the inheritance.

However, the old man's will before his death was very clear.

It is useless to go to court.

This Beverly Hills house.

It's worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

Jessica Chan is fully inherited.

She doesn't live much on weekdays.

Every time he came over, Kevin Chan had to sigh.

"Such a big house, it's a waste, it's a waste!"

After meeting Wang Shuang, Kevin Chen was very enthusiastic.

"Oh, it's Wang Shuang, the popular star of the Lakers. You didn't go to the All-Star Game, what an NBA guy is blind! ”

Wang Shuang smiled and said, "Hello uncle, how can I be eligible to participate in the All-Star Game." ”

Kevin Chan said: "You're more famous in Los Angeles than a lot of stars right now! It turns out that you are a friend of Jessica, come on, come on, introduce to everyone! ”

Kevin Chan looks like a party host.

Pull Wang to introduce him to the guests on the scene.

The attendees were some of the biggest names in Los Angeles.

Wang Shuang is very generous.

He's the one who has been through the big scenes.

Playing in front of tens of thousands of spectators every night.

What else is there to be nervous and shy about?

Wang Shuang can be called a good talker.

Soon, Jessica Chen's aunt and uncle also came over.

I had a very happy chat with Wang Shuang.

Because of Chinese ancestry.

They received a more traditional Chinese education from an early age.

So it's very topical with Wang Shuang.

Instead, it's the real protagonist Jessica Chen.

They kept me separated.

Wang Shuang wanted to find a chance to talk to her.

but was entangled by Kevin Chen's daughter.

She looks a lot like Jessica Chan.

Her name is Jenny Chen.

However, her style of dressing is noticeably more Westernized.

Smoky makeup, tight skirts, permed blonde hair.

Wang Shuang smelled the strong smell of perfume on his body.

It made him a little uncomfortable.

At this time, Wang Shuang noticed.

A tall man in a silver suit stood beside Jessica Chen.

Been chatting with Jessica Chan.

This made Wang Shuang's heart a little unhappy.

Jenny Chen saw that Wang Shuang was absent-minded and asked, "Hey, big star, don't I look good today?" Can't catch your eye? ”

Wang Shuang smiled reluctantly and said, "No, you are very beautiful tonight." ”

Jenny Chen said: "Then your eyes are always on my sister?" What, do you like my sister? She's not young. Maybe it's an old virgin. ”

The words that came out of Jenny Chen's mouth seemed very harsh.

In the United States, it can be humiliating for a woman to be among her peers all the time.

Wang Shuang didn't take a stubble, thinking: "If she knew that I was still a chick, she would definitely mock me like crazy." Americans, it's so open. ”

In fact, Americans are not all that open.

By region.

Like some of the agricultural states in the Midwest.

The folk customs are very conservative.

But big cities like Los Angeles, New York.

Needless to say, it's definitely very open.

"Who's that man?" Wang Shuang asked.

"Oh, what did that person say, it's a relative of my mother's family, the family is in the car business, and he's very handsome~"

Jenny Chan looked at the man with some ambiguity.

Wang Shuang thought to himself, a relative in your mother's family?

Is you related to Jessica Chen?

What was the purpose of his coming?

Jenny Chan continued: "My dad would love to introduce him to Jessica Chan as a boyfriend. Jessica's sister has never married, and my dad is worried about him. ”

Wang Shuang thought to himself, Jessica Chen is like this, and you still use your uncle to worry about her relatives?

I'm afraid it has ulterior motives.

Wang Shuang easily made an excuse.

Got rid of Jenny Chan's entanglement.

Then he glanced at Jessica Chen.

I went upstairs under the pretext of going to the bathroom.

Jessica Chan gets it.

After a while, I also excused myself to leave.

Went upstairs.

The mountain house inherited by Jessica Chan has a large footprint.

There are three floors and almost a hundred rooms.

The corridors are intricate.

If you're not careful the first time you come here, you'll get lost.

The two went upstairs from different staircases.

In the end, they all came to the small rooftop above the third floor.

Jessica Chan smells the fresh air.

Take a long sigh of relief.

"Whew, I can finally come out and breathe a breath of fresh air, comfortable."

Wang Shuangdao: "Me too, this family gathering of yours is not warm at all. ”

Jessica Chen smiled and said, "Yes, what kind of family gathering, in fact, is to borrow this house to entertain your guests." Since the death of Grandpa and Dad, there have been no real family gatherings. ”
