No matter what country you are in, the embassy district is the most atmospheric and elegant place to build, because it represents the face of the country to which it belongs.

In addition to the very high level of architecture and environment, the most obvious thing is the guards who appear in the field of vision from time to time.

Outside the embassies of various countries, that is, in the entire embassy district, the security is provided by soldiers from the Federal Security Force of Emerica, which is also said to be responsible for the security of important facilities and buildings in Washington, D.C., such as the place where President Emerica lives, and the security of its perimeter.

Therefore, after Li Kaiming drove into the embassy area, he was interrogated by these Amerika soldiers no less than three times, even if some soldiers recognized him as the star of the Wizards, but they still had to do business.

Because this is the embassy area, it not only represents the dignity of the country to which the embassy belongs, but also represents the face of Emerica.

After a perimeter search, and following the maps and signage here, he managed to drive his Humvee in front of a quaint two-story building.

This two-story building also has a large courtyard in front of it, and the outermost is a large iron gate, and there are two guards standing at the door.

However, this time the guards were not the Emelica GIs, but two yellow-skinned soldiers, who maintained a tall military posture, with guns in both hands, and their eyes were resolute and motionless.

Li Kaiming's car also managed to attract the attention of the guards, but the two soldiers at the gate did not make any move, but three people came out of the gate, led by one dressed in the officer's uniform.

The three men walked in neat steps to Li Kaiming's car, Li Kaiming lowered the window, and the man in officer uniform saluted him.

"Hello, what are you doing at the Chinese Embassy?"

The soldiers here are also highly trained, and the officer speaks English with a very authentic accent.

Li Kaiming showed a friendly smile and replied in words, "Hello, I came here to say hello to Zhong Shaoming in advance!" ”

The officer's face showed a look of surprise and surprise, and then made a gesture of please, which Li Kaiming knew meant to let him get out of the car.

After getting out of the car, the officer also converted his words into words, "You are Li Kaiming invited by Counselor Zhong, right?" We have a policy here that foreign vehicles are not allowed to enter the embassy compound, please understand! ”

Counselor Chung!

Li Kaiming was shocked!

It turned out that the Zhong Shaoming who called him was actually a counselor of the embassy!

Even if he didn't know much about the rank of Huaguo, he also knew that the position of counselor was the second-in-command of the ambassador in most embassies, and he didn't expect Huaguo to give him face so much, and specially let a counselor come to talk to him!

This is enough face!

While Li Kaiming was surprised in his heart, he also followed the three soldiers to the door, only this time they stopped again.

Li Kaiming was wondering in his heart, the two soldiers who followed the officer came up to carefully check his clothes, it turned out that they were going to conduct a security check.

After a detailed inspection, Li Kaiming walked into the gate under the leadership of the officer.

As soon as you enter the gate, you can see that a large part of this large courtyard is covered with green lawns, and there are several cars parked on the concrete floor, which seems to be vehicles inside the embassy.

While leading the way in front, the officer explained to Li Kaiming that he could see but not run around, especially in the small building in the center, and he couldn't go in!

Li Kaiming heard the words and looked towards the small building in the center, that small building is a part of the two-story small building that can be seen from the outside, the entire exterior wall has been painted white with a little yellow, there is a flagpole on the roof of the small building, and a five-star red flag is slowly fluttering in the breeze.

If nothing else, this small building should be the core area of the entire embassy.

Just as Li Kaiming was thinking as he walked, the voice of an officer came to his ears.

"It's here!"

Li Kaiming turned his head to look ahead when he heard this, and saw a bungalow not far away, the door was blocked by a curtain and he couldn't see inside, but there was a faint special fragrance floating out of the gap in the curtain.

The officer asked Li Kaiming to wait in place for a while, and then walked to the door and shouted loudly!

"Counselor Zhong, the person you invited has arrived!"

"Okay, let him in! Excuse me, Xiao Wu! A male voice came from the room, which was the same voice Li Kaiming heard on the phone.

The officer, Xiao Wu, stepped back and made a gesture of please to Li Kaiming.

Li Kaiming nodded slightly at him, and then walked to the door in a few steps, this door was built according to the height of ordinary people, and it seemed that it should be 2 meters in size, so Li Kaiming had to lower his head before he could open the curtain and walk in.

The décor is very simple, with a tatami mat in the center taking up most of the area, a small square table on top of it, and a round cushion on each side.

On the square table, in an antique copper incense burner, a wisp of green smoke visible to the naked eye swirled upwards and finally dispersed into the air.

It seems that this is the smell I smelled outside the door, but I didn't expect it to be the smell of aromatherapy.

A middle-aged man with black-framed glasses and gray hair was sitting cross-legged on the cushion on the left side, and after seeing Li Kaiming come in, he opened his eyes and looked at the latter, his eyes looked up and down slightly, "Here?" ”

Li Kaiming nodded, "It's coming!" ”

Zhong Shaoming pointed to the mat opposite with his hand, "Sit!" ”

Li Kaiming did not hesitate, and after walking over, he learned Zhong Shaoming's posture and sat cross-legged on it.

Zhong Shaoming picked up the teapot next to him and poured Li Kaiming a cup of hot tea, "Taste this tea, this is the top Tieguanyin brought in China, I don't know if you are used to drinking it." ”

Li Kaiming glanced down at the steaming little teacup, smiled slightly, picked it up, blew lightly with his mouth, and then took a sip of tea.

At first, there is a bitterness in the mouth, and after a while, it turns into a fragrance and deliciousness!

"Good tea!" Li Kaiming couldn't help but sigh.

Zhong Shaoming on the other side laughed, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes deepened a lot, "I didn't expect you to be used to drinking tea, this tea is not used to foreigners!" ”

"I'm basically half Chinese, and this isn't the first time I've drunk tea." Li Kaiming smiled and took another sip.

Zhong Shaoming waited for Li Kaiming to finish a cup, and then picked up the teapot to fill it for him, "Foreigners don't understand why we Chinese people like to drink hot water to soak tree leaves." ”

Li Kaiming interjected with a smile, "Don't talk about tea, they don't even drink hot water." ”

"Yes," Zhong Shaoming nodded, "but then after they tasted the benefits of tea, they began to import a large amount of tea." ”

It seems that foreigners can't get rid of the law of true incense, Li Kaiming complained in his heart.

"Some things are the same as this tea, maybe the first sip is bitter in the mouth, but as long as you can drink the second sip, there will be the fragrance and sweetness of the tea in return!" Zhong Shaoming put down the teapot, suddenly stared at Li Kaiming with his eyes, and said a meaningful word.

Of course Li Kaiming knew this sentence, what Zhong Shaoming was talking about, wasn't it just to resolve the estrangement created by Lin Yan and them before?

In human terms, it means that naturalization to play for the Chinese national team is the same as drinking tea, the first thing you taste is bitter, just like the previous contact with Lin Yan and them, but in the back, it will be like tea, becoming sweet and delicious.

Regarding this topic, although Li Kaiming didn't want to pursue anything more, he still expressed his unhappiness straightforwardly.

Li Kaiming shook the teacup in his hand, "Yes, but if this tea is sweet at the first sip, then I believe there will be more people who like it!" ”

After hearing Li Kaiming's answer, Zhong Shaoming was stunned at first, and then began to laugh!

"Hahaha! You guy, it's really surprising, I thought you were just playing well, but I didn't expect you to be so good at mouth! ”

Li Kaiming showed a rare shy expression, "Awards, awards, where!" ”

Zhong Shaoming waved his hand, "You kid don't give me this set, you should be able to see it, I don't like this, I want to ask you one thing today, do you want to join the Chinese national team?" ”

Good guy, this old man's channel is really fast, he tasted tea in the last second, and he will talk about business in the next second!

However, Li Kaiming felt that the old man in front of him was very in line with his temper, so he nodded slowly, "Yes!" ”

"Good! I'm relieved to have your words! Zhong Shaoming smiled and nodded, "Since we have reached an agreement, let's settle the matter as soon as possible, I have seen your schedule in the past few days, you should have time in the past two days, and we will use these three days to solve your nationality problem!" ”

I grass! This old man is really resolute in doing things, and he doesn't wait for a second!

Li Kaiming waved his hand again and again, "No, wait a minute, this is decided?" ”

Zhong Shaoming's eyes widened, "Otherwise?" ”

"I mean, don't you need to talk about conditions or anything?" Li Kaiming explained with a wry smile.

Zhong Shaoming waved his hand, "That's all a trivial matter, Liang Zhen told me over there, as long as it's not too much of a request, he can agree to you!" ”

No way!

Li Kaiming didn't know what to say, these two people, Liang Zhen and Zhong Shaoming, and the group of people in Lin Yan before, are simply two species!

One is eager to get stuck in every link, and the other is eager to fast-forward directly to the finale!

Is the Chinese basketball world so divided......

Li Kaiming didn't react until he walked out of the embassy and returned to his car.

This seemingly complicated naturalization, in the eyes of Liang Zhen and Zhong Shaoming, seems to be like going downstairs to buy a tofu brain, and there is no need to think about it......

Until he drove back home, he didn't come back to his senses, at this time, he was already stepping into the Chinese national team with one foot......

And Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue didn't know how they got the news, so they quickly called and asked Li Kaiming about related things, and Li Kaiming also told these two about what happened today.

However, his doubts were not explained, because Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue both began to celebrate and welcome Li Kaiming on behalf of the national team after learning that he had agreed.

Li Kaiming sent the two guys away with a smile, and then returned to his bedroom.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night......
