Traveling to New York again, Min Congda was very nervous.

The $50,000 donation left a shadow on him for life.

The league fined him $100,000 as "compensation" for donating $50,000 to show his face at the convention.

This time, because of the problem of early recruitment, the alliance fined him another 500,000!

The devil knows if Stern and Silva want to "compensate" him again, and ask him to donate another 200,000 or something.

If that's the case, Min Congda won't want to be old and won't donate money anymore.

It's really not easy for him to make some money, salarymen, racking his brains to get some wages and bonuses.

Those of you who earn millions of dollars a year in the upper class, where can you understand the sadness of working hard and spending money.

For example, Daddario, in getting along with Min Congda, there have been some differences in consumption.

This time when he came to New York, Daddario made a special trip to ask for leave from the crew and drove to the airport to pick up Min Congda.

As soon as he got in the car, Daddario took out a black gift box and handed it to Min Congda, saying that it was a gift for him.

Min Congda opened it and saw that it was a Patek Philippe men's watch.

For salaried people like Min Congda, the first reaction when they see such a precious thing is: how much?

However, out of politeness, Min Congda did not ask this, but took out the receipt from the box and looked at it.

The 0 behind 5 has already given Min Congda no way to see it, 5 0,500,000 US dollars a watch!

Fortunately, this is the United States, using US dollars, if South Korea buys it with Korean won, it will be said that there are less than a dozen zeros later.

A watch for $500,000, Daddario said he would give it away, without blinking.

For her class, 500,000 is not a small amount, but it is definitely not much.

It's about the same as an average girlfriend spending 3,000 to buy a game console for her boyfriend.

Min Congda looked at the golden Patek Philippe with diamond edges, and his heart was not happy.

Maybe in D'Addario's opinion, he is in the same class as him, after all, he is the general manager of the Clippers.

The annual salary of players is 10 million, the annual salary of managers is also 1 million, and it is even easier to have assets of 10 million.

A watch of 500,000 pieces is definitely a consumption. If you send it, you can naturally receive it.

But Min Congda can't afford to send it, he is in the same circle as those people, but he is not in the same class.

After playing with this valuable watch, Min Congda was afraid that he would break it, closed the lid, handed it back to D'Addario, and said, "I'm sorry, this watch... I can't take it. ”

D'Addario was originally full of anticipation, expecting that Min Congda would be very happy after receiving the gift.

But Min Congda was not happy, and returned the watch, and it was Dadalio's turn to be unhappy.

"Why? This is my first precious gift to you. Did you know that we've known each other for almost a year, a gift for the first anniversary. ”

The two met in the offseason last year, and it has indeed been a year since they met in a fight in a nightclub.

"How can there be such a reason to give a friend such a valuable gift for the first anniversary of their acquaintance." Min Congda said lightly.

"Friends? Are we just friends? D'Ardario's face became even more ugly.

"Isn't it? I said at the beginning that you don't want to be in love. Min Congda said calmly.

Daddario was speechless for a moment, yes, she did say at first that she didn't want to be in love.

She has to work, film, and spend a lot of time improving her acting skills and studying the script.

However, for a whole year, what is the difference between two and a couple?

As long as he has free time, Daddario will go to Los Angeles to accompany Min Congda.

The two went to Staples to watch the game together, went for a walk on the beach, and drove to the top of Beverly Hills to see the night view.

They were still swimming in the dark sea, hugging each other tightly in fear, and at that moment Daddario felt safe like never before, completely unafraid of the terrifying sea of the unknown.

Min also comes to New York to spend time with Daddario walking in Central Park and watching a Broadway opera — though Min often says he can't read it.

They will be in touch every day, at least five minutes on the phone.

Isn't this a lover yet? D'Addario felt sad.

She took the watch handed over by Min Congda, and said with a cold face, "I'll take you to the hotel." ”

Without saying a word along the way, she dropped Min Congda off at the hotel and drove away.

Min Congda stood at the entrance of the hotel with his luggage, watching D'Addario's car leave, and he didn't feel good.

During this time with Daddario, he was indeed very happy and happy, and felt that he had a concern in his heart.

Although he often went to Santa Barbara to learn martial arts, the reality was that the frequency was getting lower and less frequent.

On the one hand, the wine-colored and wealthy quartet can't get together, and the new foursome doesn't improve, and it's not interesting to go on an adventure alone.

On the other hand, Min Congda felt a little tired, there was no emotional punch, and after the passion, there was only emptiness, and the body and wallet that were gradually emptied.

On the contrary, the relationship with Daddario grows stronger and the closer the relationship becomes.

Coupled with D'Addarion's figure, where can those women be compared?

So, Min hasn't been to a nightclub in Santa Barbara or elsewhere in Los Angeles for a while.

Even if he went, it was just a sip of wine and a chat with Milicic, Davis and others.

Of course, there is another reason why Min Congda himself is not aware of it, and that is that basketball is becoming more and more important in his life.

Last season, I didn't care about a lot of things, which led to the Clippers making a profit!

This season, Min Congda decided that he had to grasp all the work.

You can't let it go, let the team get better and better, and make more and more money.

However, when he arrived at the hotel, Min Congda lay on the bed and felt uncomfortable.

His mind was full of thoughts about D'Addario, thinking that she hadn't done anything wrong, that she was just trying to give herself a gift.

"Why reject her so coldly? To put it bluntly, in fact, I still have low self-esteem in my heart, and I feel that I am not worthy of a 500,000 watch. ”

"Damn, how did it become the same again! How many people have you missed because of low self-esteem before! Say you want to be confident! Where did the energy that accosted Daddario go in the first place! ”

Min Congda tortured himself inwardly, what about his self-confidence last summer?

Recalling the mentality at that time, how high-spirited I was, and I felt that the Clippers' season was over.

As a result, after a season, self-confidence has been polished little by little.

How similar is it to when I first went to work in a bank?

thought that he could be promoted and raised early to marry Bai Fumei, but he knew that he had been sitting at the counter for three years.

It's all tears when you think about it, and sure enough, there is no easy word in the adult world, and there is no exception to the system.

Just as he was thinking wildly, there was a doorbell, Min Congda got up and opened the door, and it was Daddario standing at the door.

The surprise in his heart was indescribable, and Min Congda didn't know what to say for a while.

"Hey, good... Long time no see. Min Congda said.

"It's been a long time, I've only been away for an hour."

"But for me, life is like years."

Daddario threw himself into Min Congda's arms, and then took out a small gray box.

"What is this?"

"A new gift for you."
