"It seems you're quite confident,"
Edwards didn't show it explicitly, but this brief statent was laden with significance, especially within the entire context.
Donald wasn't angry because he knew how revolutionary and era-surpassing his conceptual blueprint was, which is why it required a truly courageous, bold, and wise individual to understand it.
Without arguing, Donald stood up and shook hands with Edwards, preparing to take his leave. With an unhurried tone, he said, "I am not alone."
Edwards instinctively looked towards Li Wei—
So, are the two of you the only ones indulging in this daydream?
Li Wei faced Edwards's scrutiny with composure.
Donald's voice cut in, "Unfortunately, it appears that Nike's preparatory work is still not sufficiently thorough. Perhaps, Mr. Edwards, upon your return, you might inquire with your company's scouting departnt to see how they view the Kansas City Chiefs' remarkable draft pick."
Even now, with the season already kicked off, the discussions surrounding the draft strategy of the Kansas City Chiefs continued unabated—
To be precise, with every ga Li Wei played, the debate only intensified.
Donald's implication was that maybe Nike should also consider what a consistently conservative and steady Andy Reid saw in Li Wei to make such an astounding pick.
Edwards was montarily taken aback.
He admitted that he had sowhat neglected this matter. Had Andy Reid really misjudged? Or did he see sothing others hadn't?
However, the negotiation with Donald had concluded, and not intending to stay any longer, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Donald and Li Wei turned to leave the hotel room.
Not until they were in the elevator and all was completely quiet did Li Wei finally speak up, while Donald couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to ask?"
Still reeling from the impact of the eting, Li Wei showed it only now, "I've been maintaining a poker face. God, this is more exhausting than playing in a ga."
The light joke eased the tension, "Donald, this is your field of expertise. I've said it before, I trust your judgnt. The decision is yours."
Donald too made a rare jest, "Be careful, I might just turn around and sell you."
Li Wei shrugged lightly, "Don't worry, even if I were buried in the Sahara Desert, I'd crawl out and find you again."
Donald: ...
"Haha," Li Wei burst into laughter, "It's rare, truly rare, you should have seen your face just now."
Donald shook his head with playful regret.
Li Wei, "So, what should we do next?"
Donald returned to his usual deanor, "et with the representatives from Under Armour and Adidas. Today is about sending signals, feeling out their bottom lines, letting them understand our positioning. Next, they will surely start probing for information amongst themselves; then tonight, we dine with LeBron Jas to create so buzz for you."
Li Wei gave a small shrug, "Anyway, today I'm just a Barbie doll at your disposal; and then tomorrow, I'll return to the training field."
Donald nodded in agreent, "One day is enough. Your main task remains your performance on the field. Just focus on training and the gas, and leave the rest to ."
Busy, bustling about non-stop—
In actuality, etings and encounters were not as hectic as imagined.
For one thing, the burden of negotiation lay on Donald's shoulders.
Secondly, the so-called eting is just sitting on a sofa, moving your lips.
Even if invisible swords and knives perate the air, burning countless brain cells, feeling trendous pressure and fatigue on a spiritual level; but in the end, it still cannot compare to the layers of urgency faced on the field, nor does it seem so busy.
After the etings with Under Armour and Adidas, before heading to dinner, there was actually a four-hour window—
Li Wei returned to the team's hotel, first went to the gym for three hours of basic training; then he stumbled upon several defensive players discussing defensive tactics, and as a running back, he joined the defensive group's eting, engaging in spirited discussion with everyone.
For the defensive group, having an offensive player tell them how they read defensive tactics was undoubtedly a supplentary perspective.
Similarly, for Li Wei, understanding how the defensive group arranges tactics to disrupt the offensive group's plays was also an eye-opening class ti.
Normally, whether it's the offensive group or the defensive group, studying their own playbook already consus all ti and energy, who has the ti to understand the other side's tactical deploynts—
Anyway, as long as the coaching staff understands, the players just obediently follow the coach's instructions.
And now, although it wasn't an official defensive group eting, just a few players gathered together to study and discuss the playbook, Li Wei's participation still proved to be mutually beneficial.
Opening a brand-new door to the world.
An hour of ti flew by before it was even noticed.
If it wasn't for Donald calling in advance to remind Li Wei of the ti, Li Wei and the defensive team's study group eting might not have known when to end.
In a rush, he took a quick shower, changed into fresh clothes, and left the hotel again to keep his appointnt.
Fortunately, he wasn't late.
The dinner was very pleasant.
Whether it was LeBron Jas or Li Wei, each had their own goals, and naturally cooperated fully; after clearing up the misunderstanding, both treated that phone call as a funny story, teasing and joking with each other.
As a top NBA superstar, LeBron put on quite a star's style, even if this wasn't Cleveland, the chances of him being recognized by passersby were still very high.
Tonight, LeBron was very down-to-earth, kindly taking photos and hugging fans, enthusiastically introducing Li Wei, and being generous with his praises, saying things like "superstar," "phenonal ergence," and "absolutely should not be missed," which gave Li Wei a taste of superstar treatnt—
Especially when Li Wei was actually recognized by passersby, it once again proved that the promotional effect of the week-long billboards advertising was indeed extraordinary. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire
For the mont, Li Wei still lacked a real sense of his own level of recognition.
That popularity, always remained online; in real life, Li Wei's recognition was limited to Kansas City, where he was already a household na, but once out of Kansas City, he still hadn't felt that warmth.
He never expected to get a taste of it in Los Angeles.
After dinner, LeBron took Li Wei to a bar, actively introduced him to a bunch of his friends, and they all had a good ti.
However, it didn't last too long, LeBron knew Li Wei had training the next day, and at nine-thirty, LeBron personally escorted Li Wei back; after Li Wei had left, LeBron went back into the bar, not to party, but to et players:
The ruse to deceive the onlookers was over, the real show finally began.
Li Wei returned to the hotel and went to bed early according to his own biological clock, yet he didn't expect the flavor of Los Angeles, this place of fa and fortune, to have a sequel.
"NFL rising star lost in the glitz of Los Angeles, the beginning of his fall?"
Li Wei: What?
