After a warm chat, Tang Qian was pulled into the room alone by Tang's mother, and then asked: "Son, what is going on with this house? It's so big, how much does it cost?"
"How much?" Tang Qian was stunned and said, "No, Mom, this is the house of an American friend of mine. I'm just temporarily borrowing it for you and your dad to live in. I usually live in the training hall myself."
"Live in the training hall?" Tang's mother was immediately diverted, and said with some distress: "How can that be okay? Since your parents are here, you can move in with your parents. Anyway, this house is so big.
Your dad and I live together, it’s too empty.”
"Well, okay, I'll listen to you." In fact, Tang Qian was prepared to do this even if Tang's mother said that, otherwise he would not be at ease if the two elders were left alone at home.
Seeing that Tang Qian agreed, Tang's mother started to ask another question.
"Son, what's going on with the two little girls outside? They don't look big, so they must be underage, right?"
"Well, he's probably not an adult yet." Tang Qian thought for a while and replied. He remembered that Sophia was only a senior in high school and Sestin was only a sophomore in high school.
"Oh, all the girls are still underage, so don't use any crooked ideas! Otherwise, your mother will be the first to let you go! Do you hear me clearly?" Tang's mother suddenly spoke righteously.
Tang Qian was stunned by this turn of events and said, "Mom, where did you think you were going? They and I are just friends. Besides, isn't your son just an adult? They and I
We’re considered peers!”
After listening to Tang Qian's words, Tang's mother's expression became a little guilty again and she said: "Yes, you have been in the United States for so long that my mother has forgotten that you have just grown up. You should have been in college, but now
But you have to make money to support your family, alas... Mom is sorry for you, son!"
Tang Qian was almost stunned by his mother, and quickly comforted him: "Mom, what are you talking about? What is the purpose of studying? Isn't it just to make money to support the family in the future? What's wrong with your son if I make money early?
Okay? Besides, it is my dream to be a professional basketball player. Now I am fighting for my dream. You should be happy for me. Why are you apologizing? If you keep doing this, my son will lose his life.
ah."
"Bah, bah, bah!" As soon as she heard the word "short life", Tang's mother immediately hit Tang Qian on the head, and at the same time muttered: "You damn kid, what are you talking about? What if... ok
Okay, please remember this, don’t say such nonsense again in the future, did you hear me?"
"I heard it, I heard it." Tang Qian enjoyed this kind of mother-son time very much. After all, it had been more than half a year since he left China alone. Although he didn't say it, he still missed him on the other side of the ocean.
It has never been less.
…
In China, the Basketball Management Center and the Information Management Bureau were listening to what Chen Xin was reporting with a gloomy look on their faces.
A few minutes later, the letter manager smashed a ceramic water cup in the office and said: "What did you say??? All Tang Qian's parents went abroad??? Or did they go to the United States???"
"Yes, yes." Chen Xin said with cold sweat on his face.
"What do you do for food? You didn't tell me about such a big thing until now?" The credit manager looked at Chen Xin and said with a very angry expression.
"I, if I reply to the letter manager, Tang Qian's parents should have lost their relationship, otherwise it would be impossible to bypass our spy at the embassy...I..." Before Chen Xin could finish speaking, he was scolded by the letter manager.
Said: "A relationship? Didn't you tell me that their family is just ordinary people and they don't have any bullshit relationships???"
"I, I, the information I found out is like this... His parents are ordinary salarymen, and he doesn't have any relatives who are powerful..."
"Then tell me what's going on now??? It's not that easy to sign a US visa. How long ago, they have already gone to the United States. Do you think I'm a fool???" The information manager vented loudly to Chen Xin
After a few words, he gradually calmed down. Because he didn't understand that this matter was strange, so it was pointless to blame Chen Xin blindly. After thinking about it alone for a while, the letter manager said: "Go.
Has the U.S. Embassy found out what kind of visa they have?”
"Well, this has been checked clearly." Chen Xin replied: "It is a three-month family visit visa."
"Three months? Then there is still time." The credit manager calculated silently, and then said in a very gloomy tone: "I don't believe it, I can't deal with you, a plain-headed commoner!"
…
"By the way, Taylor, can you do me one more favor?" Tang Qian said to Taylor on the phone.
"What's going on? Don, tell me." Taylor seemed to be doing her hair.
"My parents don't understand English. You are familiar with it in the United States. Can you help my parents find a more reliable portable translator?"
"Oh, that's no problem. What do you want? Male? Female? Young? Or middle-aged? Do you want to provide danger protection?" Taylor said a long list of conditions in one breath, and Tang Qian hesitated.
He opened his mouth and said, "It doesn't matter, you can do whatever you want, as long as you are serious and responsible."
"Okay then, just leave it to me." Taylor agreed and said.
On April 2, Tang Qian returned home after team training. As soon as he entered the house, a tower-like American man came into view. This guy was white, very tall and strong, about 30 meters tall.
Nearly 2 meters tall, with big muscles all over his body that seem to be exploding, a typical American tough guy type.
"Who are you?!" As soon as Tang Qian came in, he became more alert and said, "Why are you in my home?"
"Hello, Mr. Perm, I am Johns. I am the portable translator hired by Ms. Taylor Swift. The working period is three months. This is my contract. Mr. Perm can review it." This one is called John.
The Sri Lankan white man meticulously took out a paper contract from his pocket and handed it to Tang Qian. The whole action was very concise and capable, and you could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary person.
"Tai, did Taylor invite you here?" Tang Qian took a look at the contract and believed most of it. Just as he was about to speak, Tang's mother's voice came over and said: "My son is back? The portable translator you hired for us is Tai La."
It's windy, I just took some photos and sent them back, everyone is so jealous!"
Huh? It seems that this muscular man is quite appetizing to my mother.
Tang Qian was speechless. He opened his mouth and asked, "Where's Dad? What is he doing?"
"Your dad is learning how to cook in the American kitchen. No, he's still busy." Mother Tang pointed in the direction of the kitchen.
Tang Qian nodded, walked away alone, then took out his mobile phone and dialed Taylor Swift's private number. After a few seconds, the call was connected on the other end of the phone.
"Hi~Tang, have you seen the person I found for you? What do you think?"
"Please, is this person too exaggerated? Are you sure he is a translator? Why does he think he is the Terminator?"
"Don't worry, Tang, this person is definitely a professional Chinese translator and a former Marine. He is proficient in personal protection and long-distance monitoring. He can also cook, clean, etc. In short, he is very professional! Very reliable!
"Taylor said confidently on the other end of the phone.
Hai, from the Marine Corps? Tang Qian turned around and glanced, secretly cursing in his heart, no wonder he looks like a Terminator, all the muscles in his body can be used as a chopping block.
"Taylor, this is too much. I just want you to find a translator. You can just get me an all-round bodyguard!"
"What's wrong with that?" Taylor said, "Solve all the problems at once to save yourself the trouble!"
"Then how do you calculate his price? I just looked at it, two hundred thousand dollars a month? Is this true or false?" Tang Qian said with sweat on his forehead when he said this.
"Of course it's true." Taylor said: "Let me tell you, this is all for my sake. The boss of that company happens to be a fan of mine, so he gave me a half-price discount. Otherwise, I want to invite him
Johns, it’s only possible if it costs at least four hundred thousand dollars a month.”
"But...but I can't afford this money!" Tang Qian said with some "heartache". His current annual salary is only more than 400,000 US dollars, and he simply cannot afford to hire this Marine Corps Johns.
"Don't worry, I've already advanced the payment for you, but..." Taylor suddenly smiled slyly and said, "Your IOU needs to be doubled!"
…
The Lakers officially announced that Andrew Bynum will not play in the game on April 3 due to some water accumulation in his knee.
In this way, Tang Qian was given another chance to start.
Before Tang Qian's home game, he entered a "different space".
First, it’s because of the “calendar board”.
This game has challenge missions released.
So he had to come in and check.
Second, after winning the Rookie of the Month award, there was always a reward in "Alternate Space" that he did not open.
This time I came in and it happened to be done together.
After arriving in the "different space", Tang Qian chose to check the rewards first.
The reward given by "Different Space" is three bronze treasure chests.
Could it be that from three bronze treasure chests, three bronze ability cards can be obtained?
Tang Qian walked towards the three bronze treasure boxes with excitement, and then opened them from the first one.
The process of opening the treasure chest is not complicated. With just a slight touch, the bronze treasure chest in front of you opens by itself.
Then inside...
Empty!
empty box???
Tang Qian looked at the hairless bottom of the box and was disappointed, but he was relieved because there were still two bronze treasure boxes.
As long as one of the three can be opened, it will be fine.
This is Tang Qian's current mentality.
But God is not as good as man. Just when Tang Qian turned around to open the next bronze treasure box, he discovered that the two bronze treasure boxes that were supposed to be on the right side were all gone.
this……
Tang Qian woke up and couldn't help but cursed: "What kind of plane are you planning? It turns out it's one of three choices! Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Tang Qian was very resentful for wasting an opportunity to obtain a "treasure", but "people have to bow their heads under the eaves", who said that he couldn't play in this "different space"? After calming down the resentment in his chest, Tang Qian went to
"Calendar board" goes.
"Start." Tang Qian shouted weakly.
The data on the "calendar board" scrolled rapidly, and with Tang Qian's "stop" sound, the final data was...
