Unexpected, everything is unexpected; but often, history is created this way, through a little bit of surprise, a little bit of coincidence, a little bit of luck colliding together, eting at the right ti and place, and then—
Bang!
However, the people involved are left in a fog, full of question marks.
When Donald Yee called to inquire about Li Wei’s situation, "Weren’t you just going to see Thalia’s movie? How did things turn out like this?"
Li Wei also looked innocent.
But, thinking carefully, this is a good thing.
On one hand, in this way, it won’t affect Thalia, as all the fervent attention is focused on Li Wei, making the Berlin Film Festival the protagonist.
On the other hand, it perfectly covers up another mission Li Wei has in Berlin.
Indeed, attending the film festival is a big deal, very, very important; but right now on the North Arican continent, Li Wei’s schedule is packed with no gaps, even if Donald Yee showcases extraordinary working ability to oversee everything, Li Wei, this protagonist, is still an indispensable core, he can’t leave for too long, otherwise, everything will co to a standstill.
So, Li Wei took out a week to go to Berlin, it wasn’t purely personal, there was also work involved.
"Mr. Haas, thank you for taking the ti to co to the hotel. Thank you very much."
The door opened, and Li Wei stood up and approached warmly, with a friendly smile on his face.
That gentle and refined deanor made Daniel Haas slightly astonished, a brief pause appearing on his serious and tense face, seemingly not expecting Li Wei in real life to be like this, looking sowhat different from how he appears on TV screens and the sports field—
Such a situation is not common, because professional athletes are often not much different on and off the field, their performance on the field is an instinct, a reflection of their true selves.
Evidently, Li Wei is a bit different.
But this pause didn’t last long, he quickly redirected his attention.
"No, it’s my honor," Haas responded formally, slightly nodding, with a businesslike deanor that made the atmosphere slightly stiff.
However, turning the conversation around, Haas continued, "After all, if you don’t want to be surrounded and interrupted by enthusiastic fans, this is the best choice."
Li Wei holding Haas’s right hand, tilted his head slightly, "...Is that a joke?"
Haas remained expressionless, "I don’t want to be the enemy of enthusiastic movie fans. So, thank you for inviting , saving my life."
Now, Li Wei finally confird, Haas was indeed joking, but the problem is, it didn’t bring a smile.
Li Wei’s lips slightly curled, exhaling, "Whew, adapting to different cultures of different nationalities is a bit challenging, I may need so ti."
Haas’s joke didn’t work, but Li Wei’s response did, "Haha, it’s rare to cause difficulty for a professor, can this be considered my honor?"
Li Wei made an inviting gesture, chuckling, "Of course."
Haas entered the hotel room, sitting properly in the spacious and bright living room, with no intention of seizing the chance to scrutinize the surroundings.
Li Wei’s voice ca over, "Need any beverages? Juice, alcohol, cola... Look, this is your ho court, you should know better than ."
Haas carefully examined the items Li Wei placed on the table, "May I ask, is this tea?"
"Yes. Tea from my hotown, a bit different from the UK," Li Wei ca over, noticing a glimr in Haas’s eyes, "Would you like to try it? It might take so ti."
Haas, "If it’s not too much trouble."
Li Wei, "Of course not. These days, I’ve been busy watching movies, even als and sleep I’m squeezing in, I don’t know why I brought those tea leaves thinking perhaps there’d be ti to enjoy a leisurely cup."
Haas, "We never know what’ll happen next, so being prepared is always a good thing."
Li Wei looked up, not hiding his surprise, "So, Mr. Haas, are you one of those who have everything prepared in advance, often overstuffing a suitcase during travel because it’s full of various ergency supplies?"
Haas: "Yes. Aren’t you?"
Li Wei waved his hand, "No, I’m more casual, just set off with ID and a phone."
Haas was a bit surprised, "But, your gas don’t seem like that."
Li Wei smiled, "Because at work I’m always thorough and well-prepared, when away from work, I want to relax."
Ah, I see!
Haas nodded slightly, "But, at the Berlin Film Festival..."
Li Wei raised his hands in a surrender gesture indicating his innocence, "Accident. Please believe , it’s really an accident."
Haas remained unperturbed, with no special expression, it was hard to discern whether he believed it or not, "But it suits well for a conversation, so I heard you need so help from rcedes-Benz."
Daniel Haas, a representative of rcedes-Benz, specifically ca to visit due to Li Wei’s request, to listen to the voice of their brand’s global ambassador.
Li Wei paused his busy movents, looking up at Haas.
After a brief eting and interaction, Li Wei realized Haas’s style, straightforward, efficient, and realistic, evidently disliking or needing no small talk and pleasantries.
So, Li Wei didn’t beat around the bush, directly skipping the lengthy preamble, getting straight to the point, "Yes, I hope to find a place near Munich to establish a training camp."
"Specifically, a football field, along with a series of training facilities."
Splash.
A small pebble, yet like a heavyweight, stirred ripples upon ripples.
It turns out, this is Li Wei’s real mission, while everyone focused on the waves Li Wei stirred at the Film Festival, they were completely fooled, hidden behind the overwhelming noise is Li Wei’s true ambition, which absolutely no one expected.
Haas still had no special expression, not even his eyes fluctuated much, but the pause in his actions revealed a surge of emotions, he looked at Li Wei, focused and serious, imdiately realizing this matter might far exceed imagination.
Everything originates from last year’s draft, when the Los Angeles Rams chose safety Taylor Rapp—
Also known as the Chinese rookie Chi Youjun.
The League didn’t make a big fuss, but undoubtedly, due to Li Wei’s huge success, the attention on Chi Youjun inevitably increased.
In interviews, Chi Youjun also showed the courage and vigor of a young man, "My goal is to openly and squarely tackle Li Wei on the field."
Originally, this was one of the highlights of the 2019 season, after all, the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams eting again was one of the main thes of the League.
Unfortunately, the result was disappointing, the Los Angeles Rams didn’t even make it to the playoffs, with the entire League witnessing the Kansas City Chiefs’ third consecutive championship.
Chi Youjun temporarily didn’t get the chance to challenge Li Wei, but it doesn’t matter, there’s a long road ahead, Chi Youjun had only just entered the League in his first year.
These challenges, Li Wei welcos with open arms, while also pondering how he could help these young people with dreams.
Especially those Chinese players attempting to enter the NFL.
