After verbally making a bet with the media reporters, Chen Jie did not stay in the press conference room any longer. He stood up, nodded to Tomjanovich, and turned around to go to the home team's player-coach lounge.
Go.
But at this moment, Chen Jie casually glanced at the media lounge.
Just at this glance, Chen Jie was completely stunned.
It was like seeing an incredible scene.
Chen Jie stared blankly at that figure, feeling so familiar.
There seems to be that familiar smell in the air.
Is it her?
How did she end up in the press lounge?
Could it be that now, she has become a sports reporter? [
Chen Jie still remembers that when he first met her, she seemed to have told him that her ideal was to become a basketball reporter.
Could it be that now, she has fulfilled her ideal?
But, she shouldn’t have graduated yet?
While Chen Jie was in a state of wonder, the reporters had all left the table and walked to the media lounge with the interview materials they had just received, preparing to take their belongings back to the hotel or hotel.
Several obstacles appeared in an instant between Chen Jie and the familiar figure.
Chen Jie's eyes could no longer see the back figure that made his whole body dull.
Chen Jie quickly stood on tiptoe. Although he was not sure whether the woman was her, Chen Jie had to confirm it.
If it was her, if she came to Chicago, why didn't she come to him?
Chen Jie is no longer in the mood to think about these issues. At this moment, Chen Jie just wants to confirm whether this woman is her.
Standing on tiptoes, and coupled with Chen Jie's height, which was at least very proud among reporters, he could vaguely see the scene in the media lounge.
The place was crowded, and Chen Jie searched for the woman in the crowd.
It wasn't that he didn't want to go over and have a look, it was just that with so many people, it was impossible for Chen Jie to squeeze through.
Moreover, even if Chen Jie finally squeezes through, what if the woman leaves?
At this moment, Chen Jie could only stand on tiptoe, hoping to see the woman's face.
Finally, in the crowd, Chen Jie found the woman's back again.[
However, what disappointed Chen Jie was that the woman always had her back turned to Chen Jie. Only her flowing hair and slim back could be seen.
Is it her?
Chen Jie said this in his heart.
This figure and this hair are all so familiar.
But, is it really her?
How could she be here?
Chen Jie just looked at it, trying to see the woman's face clearly, but there was no chance.
When the reporters in the press conference room were almost gone, Chen Jie quickly wanted to catch up to see if the woman was her.
But at this moment, Chen Jie suddenly saw that the female reporter Ruth, who had always been against him, appeared next to the woman. The two hugged each other first, then whispered a few words, and then left together.
Even if Chen Jie chased him at this time, he would not be able to catch up.
Until the end, Chen Jie still didn't see clearly who this woman was.
But, in his heart, Chen Jie had a strong premonition that that woman was her.
She was the woman who had been with him for two years and had been the sweetheart to explain to him when he was feeling lost several times.
In a certain sense, everything I have now would not exist if I didn't have that woman to take me in.
It was she who took him in, who took him to meet Jay Williams, who introduced him to Duke.
It's her, everything is her.
This woman definitely occupies a particularly important position in Chen Jie's heart.
However, due to various reasons, Chen Jie slowly drifted away from her and even now has no contact with her.
Seeing each other now feels like it's been another year.
Chen Jie was almost certain that the woman must be her.
Otherwise, the feeling would not be so familiar.
But how did she meet Ruth?
Did she come to Chicago because of Ruth?
Chen Jie's heart was full of questions.
At this time, there were not many people in the press conference hall.
Skiles and Tomjanovich have also left.
The Bulls' press officer, a middle-aged uncle named Tony, is sorting out some information.
After sorting out the information, he was about to leave when he suddenly saw Chen Jie standing there alone.
Tony couldn't help but be a little curious. He walked to Chen Jie and asked, "Jie, what's wrong? Why don't you leave?"
When Chen Jie heard this voice, he finally came to his senses.
"Oh, no, it's nothing!"
Chen Jie said casually and perfunctorily, and just as he was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, Tony!" Chen Jie called to Tony who was about to leave.
"What's wrong? What's the matter? Jay!" Tony stopped and turned around and asked.
"Tony, do you have the phone number of Ruth, the Times reporter?" Chen Jie asked slightly anxiously.
"Yes, there is!" Tony was stunned for a moment when he heard Chen Jie's words, but he immediately replied.
After saying this, Tony looked at Chen Jie and said curiously: "But Jie, why do you want her number? Jie, you have to know, reporters are like this, you don't need to be serious with them."
"No, I didn't want to call her to quarrel. I have something important to do with her!" Chen Jie felt helpless when he saw that Tony misunderstood that he wanted to call her to quarrel with Ruth when he asked for her phone number, so he quickly explained.
"Oh, that's it!" Tony felt relieved after hearing Chen Jie's explanation.
As a press officer, Tony basically had their numbers for reporters who came to the United Center in Chicago to contact them. Of course, Tony had Ruth's phone number.
So, when Chen Jie asked for it, Tony took out his cell phone, found Ruth's number, and told Chen Jie.
Chen Jie quickly took out his cell phone and took note of it.
"Thank you, Tony!" Chen Jie thanked him after writing down the number.
Tony waved his hand, he really didn't care about this little thing.
After saying goodbye to Tony, Chen Jie did not call Ruth immediately. Li Ming'er was waiting for him outside now. Chen Jie called Ruth now and couldn't talk about it.
Therefore, he put his phone back in his pocket and walked out of the press conference room.
In the lounge, Li Ming'er looked a little anxious waiting.
Seeing Chen Jie finally come out, Li Ming'er hurriedly came up to greet him.
"Why are you coming out now? Coach Scott has already left!" Li Ming'er asked.
"Oh, I met a media friend and chatted for a few words!" Chen Jie explained to Li Ming'er.
Li Ming'er didn't ask any further questions. She stepped forward and took Chen Jie's arm, while she and Chen Jie walked to the stadium parking lot, chatting some gossip.
"When Coach Scott saw me just now, he told me that he wanted me to dress up tomorrow. I asked him what was wrong, but he still didn't tell me. What's going on?" Li Ming'er asked.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Kwame is going to treat you tomorrow, and he said he can bring a female companion. I was just about to ask if you have time tomorrow!" Chen Jie heard Li Ming'er's question and thought of the scene in the dressing room.
matter.
"Since it's Kwame who wants to treat us, of course I have to have time. Haha, are they also bringing their girlfriends?" Li Ming'er asked with a smile.
"Antonio is already married, and he must be bringing his wife. Chris Duhon doesn't have a girlfriend yet. Who knows who he will bring, but he should probably bring a female companion. In fact, this is the first time for me to attend such a party. Before.
At Duke, there has never been such a party. At most, it was just a party for the players on the team. At Kobe's house in Los Angeles, there was no requirement to bring a female companion!" Chen Jie and Li Mininger were chatting.
"Oh, it's my first time too. I heard that for such a banquet, you have to dress up well. Whoever's female companion is beautifully dressed, her man will be very proud. Hehe, it seems that I have to choose clothes carefully tomorrow
Come on!" Li Ming'er looked very expectant.
"Tch, I don't care. My Ming'er doesn't need to dress up to look good. No matter how much you argue, they will definitely not be able to compare with you." Chen Jie's free flattery made Li Ming'er smile happily.
"Poor talk!" Li Ming'er smiled sweetly.
The two people talked and arrived at the parking lot.
After driving home, Li Ming'er went to take a shower first.
At this time, Chen Jie took out his mobile phone, looked at Ruth's number, hesitated, and dialed.
"Hello, who are you?" Ruth's voice came from the other side.
Because of these two press conferences, Chen Jie was still very familiar with her voice.
"It's me, Jayshawn!" Chen Jie introduced himself.
When she heard it was Chen Jie, Ruth on the other side obviously paused.
After a moment, her voice turned cold.
"So he's a big star. Why are you calling me?" Ruth's voice was very calm.
"That's it!" Chen Jie was about to ask Ruth directly who her friend was. Seeing Ruth's attitude, he knew that if he asked, Ruth would definitely not tell him, so he couldn't help but change his mind and thought of a way.
"I want to apologize to you!" Chen Jie said.
"Apologise?" Ruth on the opposite side was obviously stunned.
"You will also apologize to me!" Ruth sneered.
"Of course, you are a woman after all. My bad attitude towards you these two times was wrong. Now, I already know that I was wrong. I would like to ask Miss Ruth if you can give me a chance to talk to you.
Let's have dinner together to express my apology to you!" Chen Jie organized his words and then said.
"Have dinner together?" Ruth was stunned again, then smiled, "That's great. Since Mr. Jeshawn is so sincere, I have to give him face! When?"
Chen Jie was a little surprised to see Ruth agreeing so quickly, but he reacted immediately.
"I have something to do tomorrow night. Let's wait until the day after I come back from Cleveland. How about it?"
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Ruth agreed very simply.
Chen Jie hung up the phone and clenched his fist. When having dinner with Ruth, he must make some insinuations and ask about the woman's identity! (To be continued...)
