Chapter 26 Meeting Teammates by Occasion

In fact, American college players can get money. But it is not a salary as Chen Jie said. This is not a salary, in fact, it is just a kind of scholarship. Famous schools like Duke have higher scholarship amounts. Today Chen Jie

The contract signed by Jie clearly stipulated that Chen Jie would be given a scholarship of US$8,000 a year, so the one thousand predicted today can be said to be Chen Jie's income for one and a half months.

Although he read the contract, Chen Jie, who was not too confident and was confused about several concepts, naively referred to it as salary.

There are subsidies for competitions and scholarships during normal times. Only a good school like Duke University has such good welfare guarantees.

Although there is money available at universities and colleges in the U.S., such as the ones in Daben, it is very little.

It can be said that entering Duke not only helped Chen Jie gain popularity, but also improved his life.

A newcomer who was not well-known before received a scholarship of US$8,000 because of a relatively good performance in a tryout. Chen Jie was lucky.

Chen Jie, who had made an appointment with Beyoncé roughly at what time to meet in the afternoon, said good night to this beauty, but was a little disappointed when she didn't wait for her good night kiss.

Lying in bed, Chen Jie fell asleep quickly after his excitement had passed. There was no training the next day, so Chen Jie naturally ignored the so-called academic studies at Duke University. He was a habitual truant in his previous life, and now he has decided to enter the NBA draft.

After this road, it is even more impossible to go to class.

Basically, American universities are very independent. You only need to earn enough credits without taking classes. Otherwise, no matter how good Chen Jie is, he may be ordered to drop out of school by Duke.

Chen Jie cannot be a top student like Duncan. But the strict requirements of Duke University do not allow people on the basketball team to really neglect their studies.

But with Beyoncé, who can be said to be a good wife, Chen Jie is not afraid of any exams.

Chen Jie, who was waiting for his first date with Beyoncé, was wandering alone in Durham City. With a "huge sum of money" in his hand, he was thinking about giving Beyoncé a gift while eating.

With this thought in mind, Chen Jie walked into a jewelry store.

"Jie, it's you, are you here to buy something too?" As soon as he entered, Chen Jie found an acquaintance.

He is also a member of the team. The person who joined the team with him is also a newcomer. The guy who made special reports on physical fitness. Chen Jie likes to call him that, but he doesn't remember his real last name.

"Xiao Hei, it's you!" Chen Jie also greeted him enthusiastically. Not to mention, this black player who was quite famous in the American high school league but had never heard of it in his previous life was not only physically dominant, but also

He also looks somewhat similar to James.

Chen Jie kept calling him Xiaohei Xiaohei like this during training yesterday. This guy is used to it and he doesn't even bother to correct him today.

"Jie, why are you scolding me?" Xiao Hei was very enthusiastic.

"Oh, I'm buying something for a friend." Chen Jie replied casually. He glanced at the few buddies standing next to Xiao Hei. Although they were not as tall as Xiao Hei, they were all tall and thick men.

Damn it, isn’t Xiaohei a member of the underworld in his spare time?

Why do you have a group of thugs under your command?

Chen Jie thought maliciously.

"Boyfriend or girlfriend?" Xiao Hei blinked, the meaning was obvious.

The style of gossip does not distinguish between age, sex, and skin color.

Chen Jie sighed silently, and then said feebly: "As a man, you will definitely despise me?"

Xiao Hei nodded solemnly.

"Okay, I'm buying a gift for a female friend!" Chen Jie said.

Xiao Hei looked astonished: "Oh, girlfriend!"

Chen Jie did not correct this person's confusion of concepts. Beyoncé did not humiliate himself by being his girlfriend.

"By the way, Xiao Hei, I just happened to meet you, what do you think I should buy for that girlfriend?" Chen Jie suddenly remembered something, and he came forward to pull Xiao Hei affectionately.

In fact, the adviser was fake, and Chen Jie, who was unfamiliar with the place, was afraid of being ripped off.

When Xiao Hei heard Chen Jie asking him this, he looked proud: "Jie, you have asked the right person. You guys are very familiar with this store. You see, we basically buy everything from earrings here."

Speaking of earrings, Chen Jie took a look at Xiao Hei's earlobes and sighed in his heart.

You said that if you are a good man, why should you wear earrings? It is really difficult to understand the thinking of black people.

Is this the forerunner of future pseudo-pussies?

Chen Jie is a kind person and will not use other people's shortcomings to attack others, so he quickly changed the topic: "Xiao Hei, I want to buy a necklace for that girlfriend. Can you recommend a necklace that is reasonably priced and exquisite?"

?”

"The price is fair?" Xiao Hei looked confused.

Chen Jie nodded, pulled him over, and whispered: "You know, I don't have much money, so I want something that is cheaper but still looks respectable!"

After saying this, Chen Jie felt guilty again. Beyoncé, I always feel wronged to you, but there is nothing I can do about it. I really don’t have money. It will take a long time to get 1,000 US dollars. But don’t worry, when I get rich, I will definitely not

I will forget you.

Now, it’s mainly the mind. The mind!

After hearing this, Xiao Hei suddenly realized that he took Chen Jie to a counter, pointed to a necklace inside and said to Chen Jie, "What do you think of this?"

Chen Jie first looked at the price. It was 200 US dollars. Yes, it was acceptable.

Let’s look at the color again, it’s very beautiful, it’s white and pearl style, it should look beautiful with Beyoncé’s skin tone.

"Okay, that's it!" Chen Jie is not an ink person, so he will make the decision as he is told.

Xiao Hei nodded and said to the salesperson: "Jack, wrap it up. This is my friend. Can it be cheaper?"

Jack looked at Xiao Hei, then at Chen Jie, and said hesitantly: "This is a new product, it has just been launched, and it is already very cheap. If it is a hot seller in the next few days, the price will definitely be raised."

Xiao Hei was unhappy when he heard this: "Jack, we are all family members. Come on!"

Hearing Xiaohei's words, Chen Jie secretly admired him. He was so loyal and had the character of a Liangshan hero.

Hearing this, Jack seemed to have made a lot of determination and said, "How about 50 yuan cheaper?" The renminbi was four to five hundred yuan. He was about to nod his head and agreed, but Xiao Hei said: "Jack, I come to your store often.

Don’t play tricks on me, tell the truth, and we’ll pay you 100!”

100?

Chen Jie was stunned. This damn thing was cut in half. Xiaohei, you are such a girl! Oh, no, sister, you are a man!

Not only does she wear earrings, she also bargains so hard.

Du Xiaohei said this, and Jack nodded helplessly: "That's good. But, Brown, you have to introduce us to a few more customers in the future!"

Xiao Hei nodded and said: "No problem. However, from now on, when my buddy comes, he will not be an outsider, so you are not allowed to kill him!"

Jack smiled and said: "Okay!"

After paying the payment and putting away the necklace, Chen Jie looked at Xiao Hei completely differently.

This is the rhythm of local snakes.

Damn, take care of me from now on.

"Xiao Hei, I...hey, I can't thank you enough for your kindness. From now on, I will introduce you to Liangshan!" Chen Jie's eyes filled with tears.

Xiao Hei was confused again: "Liangshan?"

Chen Jie nodded and said: "Well, it's just a place where you can drink wine and eat meat from a big bowl. There is a black whirlwind inside, which must be your lost brother and younger brother!"

"Jie, stop joking, I'm an orphan!" The little black face looked a little sad.

Chen Jie quickly shut up: "Sorry, sorry. From now on, I'll treat you to dinner! I'll leave first!"

Xiao Hei nodded: "See you in the arena then!"

Chen Jie nodded heavily.

Several of Xiaohei's buddies also said a friendly farewell to Chen Jie.

Along the way, Chen Jie was thinking about what happened just now, thinking that if this little black guy hadn't played a double act with Jack, he would be a really good person. He has been in the United States for so long, except for Beyoncé and Rose, there are not many

a friend.

Of these two people, one is a child and the other is a woman.

Really, only women and villains are difficult to raise. Chen Jie silently sighed at such a sage's words, not knowing whether he was right or not.

Walk to the restaurant where you made an appointment with Beyoncé.

Chen Jie chose a seat by the window, took out the necklace and started playing with it.

The color should look good, but as for the texture, Chen Jie can't tell because he's not a professional.

I don't know if it's worth $100.

Just when he was thinking about it, Beyoncé came. After seeing Chen Jie, the beauty walked over and attracted the attention of many men.

Beyoncé sat down with a smile and said: "Chen, have you been waiting for a long time?"

Chen Jie said: "No, no!"

After saying that, Chen Jie took out the necklace he was playing with just now, handed it to Beyoncé and said, "This is for you!"

Beyoncé took it in surprise, opened it on the spot, and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, Chen. Did you spend a lot of money?"

Chen Jie smiled saosao: "Money is not an issue, as long as you like it!"

Beyoncé doesn’t think so. For many girls, it’s none of their business if a boy gives them something and they just keep it. How much they spend is none of their business. However, for Beyoncé, she knows that Chen Jie doesn’t have much money.

, so I don’t want him to waste money.

If Beyonce hadn't wanted to go on a date with Chen Jie alone, she probably wouldn't have agreed to this lunch.

Holding the necklace admiringly, Beyoncé still asked with some worry: "Chen, this must cost at least 500 US dollars?"

"500?" Chen Jie exclaimed and quickly covered his mouth.

"What's wrong? Yes, 500 shouldn't be enough. This necklace is made of pearls, so it should be at least 800!"

Oh my God!

Chen Jie was completely shocked. It was possible that he didn't know the goods, but it was impossible for Beyoncé to know the goods. It was really a pearl.

Your sister, Xiaohei, you are so generous. I’ll give you my due!

But, why is such an expensive necklace so cheap in that store?

Chen Jie was a little puzzled.

If Xiao Hei has the reputation, it might be possible to get a cheaper price, but it’s not possible to bargain for 100 for something priced at 500 US dollars and 200 for it?

Chen Jie thought about it, and after a moment he vaguely had the answer.

The answer is very simple, two words, stolen goods!

Only stolen goods can be so cheap!

Chen Jie sighed slightly, it seemed that Xiao Hei was really a local snake.

No wonder he was vaguely excited and surprised when he saw that he entered the store. He was probably surprised that he found a jewelry store that only local snakes knew about selling low-priced jewelry.

I didn't expect that I would end up in such a place by accident.

Chen Jie sighed.
