On the morning of January 22, Ida woke up from her sleep and looked at the alarm clock at the bedside, which was still five minutes away.

Ida rolled over and wanted to sleep a little longer, winter sleep was always very good.

But after sleeping for less than a minute, she forced herself to roll over and get up, rubbing her face on the bed to sober herself up.

"Can't sleep Ada, you have to get up, you have something important to do today."

"Mr. Smart is a person with a strong sense of time, you can't be late, get up!"

She immediately got up and got dressed, washed up in the bathroom, and the bedside alarm clock went off.

It's 4 o'clock in the morning Pacific Time, January, and the city hasn't woken up yet.

Of course, a certain Lakers player might be enjoying the beauty of the early hours of the morning in Los Angeles.

Ida came out of her room and made some food in the kitchen, waking up her sleeping dad upstairs.

Marcella Antonini came down the stairs in her pajamas, saw her daughter get up so early and work in the kitchen, scratched her head and asked, "Ada, what time is it?" Are you coming to work so early now? ”

Ida takes the bread out of the toaster, butters it, and places the fried eggs on a plate.

"Today I'm going to pick up people at the airport, the plane at half past five...... I'm going to hurry, it's almost too late. ”

"Oh my God, why are you still in charge of picking people up? Don't you work in the media sector? Your manager asked you to do this kind of chores again, didn't he? ”

"Dad, it's not dawn yet, why don't you go to sleep anymore?"

"Yes, you know that before dawn, my daughter is going to run to work for others! You have to wake up early and come back late, are you selling to the team? ”

"Dad~ This is my job, I always have to work? Why do you always have so many opinions about my work...... By the way, what about my shoes, where did my shoes go? ”

"You mean those heels? I threw it away, don't you think it's uncomfortable to wear it with too high? It's not good for your feet. And you're a secretary of a basketball team, why wear shoes like that, you should wear sneakers, sneakers are best for you. ”

"Daddy! That's my shoe! Oh my God, how could you throw my stuff away? It's just unreasonable. Forget it, I'm not going to quarrel with you, I'm leaving. Go back to sleep, I'm leaving! ”

Ida hastily finished breakfast, took a pair of older high heels and put them on, went out with her briefcase and drove away.

Marcella followed, holding a thick tweed coat in her hand, and rushed out the door shouting, "Wear a thick coat!" It's cold! Wear more... Shet..."

Ada's car had vanished into the early morning mist, leaving only a string of red shadows.

Marcella shook her head and muttered, "Girls are outside, why don't you wear more!" ”

In fact, Ada's dress is not revealing, just a very decent professional attire.

It's just that in the father's heart, the clothes on his daughter's body are always too little.

In Marcella's heart, Ida has always been the sweet, well-behaved Italian girl she used to be.

When she was a child, she was very obedient, she would listen to everything her father said, and until she graduated from college, Ida followed Marcella's teachings to study hard.

This is not an easy task in the United States, too many girls enter the rebellious period early, skipping classes, falling in love, fooling around, and some even touch drugs.

The daughters of many of Marcella's friends have caused headaches at home, and at this time Marcella always laughs and does not speak, thinking that her daughter can be obedient, and she will be a beautiful traditional Italian girl in the future.

But since Ida started working for the Los Angeles Clippers, everything has changed.

Ida is not so obedient anymore, she always has her own thoughts and always says "Mr. Smart XXX".

Originally, Marcella thought, does Ada like Smart and will fall in love with him?

To help Smart, he also used resources to influence the outcome of the Clippers game.

It's a pity that Smart didn't appreciate it, but hooked up with Hollywood female stars, and didn't take her daughter seriously at all.

Marcella saw that her daughter was a little sad and depressed, and persuaded Ada to quit her job and stop working at the Clippers.

Ida didn't listen at all, but worked harder, going out early and returning late every day, and communicating less and less with her father.

The intimate little padded jacket in the past began to leak, and Marcella felt that she couldn't bear it, but there was nothing she could do.

The woman is not in the middle, and Marcella knows this.

But why would Ada like Smart's little yellow skin?

He always hoped that Ida could marry an Italian, and in the future, she would be a good helper like his mother, a traditional Italian woman.

Now, it seems, she is drifting away from the other path.

At this time, Ida drove through the early morning fog of Los Angeles and headed towards Los Angeles International Airport.

Her job task today is to pick up the plane, a basketball kid from China is going to the United States for a trial and live for a while.

Ida wants to solve the problem of this teenager's life in the United States like she did when she was Min Congda's life assistant.

On the flight at half past five, Ida came to the airport at five o'clock, and she never dared to be careless in terms of time.

After parking the car, she waited patiently in the departure hall, holding a plastic sign in her hand.

It has the logo of the Los Angeles Clippers printed on it, as well as two big Chinese characters: Lu Yuan.

“Lu-Yuan~”

Ida looked at the information of this Chinese teenager named Lu Yuan, and softly read his name out of her mouth.

The child in the photo is very young, 15 years old, just starting high school, from a small town in southern China.

With a height of only 183, he participated in a training camp organized by the Clippers in the summer of '11, where he showed outstanding talent and was selected to come to the United States for further study.

For Chinese players, Ida is most impressed by only Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi.

Wang Zhizhi once played for the Clippers for a while, but only at the end of the bench did not perform.

In the impression of most Americans, only Chinese players can come and play a dozen on the inside.

And except for Yao Ming, the interior players are all soft and slow, and they can't be compared with American players at all.

As for the outside players, not to mention, Sun Yue once came to the Lakers to play for a season, and he couldn't adapt to the intensity of the NBA at all, and belonged to the bench within the bench.

But Mr. Smart told him to entertain his hometown friend, who may indeed be a rare basketball genius from China.

At half past five, the flight from Shanghai to Los Angeles landed, and Ida waited at the exit with a sign.

Most of the passengers on this plane are Chinese tourists from China who came to the United States for tourism, so they are all Chinese faces.

It's not easy for Ida to tell who she's looking for, and people are face blind to foreigners.

Tourists are a little sleepy because they have been on the plane for a long time, and many of them are still yawning.

At this moment, Ida noticed a teenager with his eyes looking from side to side, his eyes rolling around, looking full of vitality in the midst of a group of tired people.

"That's him!" Ada's voice immediately rang in her heart.

"Hey! Lu！ Lu！ Ada waved at the boy and shouted.

When the boy heard the voice and saw the sign in Ada's hand, his eyes lit up suddenly.

He ran through the crowd to Ada, stared at the sign and confirmed, and said, "Hello, I'm Lu Yuan, from China, I'm from the United States, playing basketball." ”

Some people died, but not completely......
