Chapter Thirty-Two: A Proposal?!

  Ellie said she would take two hamburgers to thank Ye Feng for recommending Watson, but in fact, she brought a long-term wealth path to Ye Feng.

  Leon Rose is a well-known agent in the league, and his greatest strength lies in having a legendary friend. Just over a decade ago, Leon Rose was struggling to find clients, with no players willing to sign with him. However, Lady Luck soon smiled upon this would-be agent. Those same players who had initially rejected him began to change their minds and flock to his banner, all thanks to his good friend - William Wesley.

  William Wesley is an NBA power broker with the nickname "World Wide Wes". He's not an agent, coach or owner but under his guidance Leon Rose went from a relatively unknown agent to one of the most powerful agents in the NBA. Wesley has never appeared on any publicly published rankings of sports power brokers but his influence is formidable.

  Wesley can freely enter and exit the locker room of players, sit in the closest position to the stadium, take the team's private plane at will, and have a drink with the players after the game. He can avoid all media tracking, manipulating what happens and is about to happen in the NBA from behind the scenes. He may be the person with the widest connections in this league, his social circle ranging from the top of the NBA to the players, but he doesn't belong to any organization. In front of the media, he can choose to remain silent, bringing chicken soup-like help to hundreds of players. Without a doubt, this mysterious figure has the strongest "soft power" in the league, and is omnipresent.

  It is said that he played an important role in the shocking trade between Iverson and Billups. Ye Feng also knew that the Clippers were able to smoothly introduce Chris Paul, which was also related to him. As long as you know this god, you will benefit from it in the future.

  Ye Feng's vanity was greatly satisfied, and with this economic man, it seemed that he would definitely become famous in the future.

  After discussing some details of their collaboration and having two cups of afternoon tea, Ross drove away.

  "Besides basketball, what else do you like to play? Golf, bowling?"

  Golf, he has never touched a golf ball before, and bowling is also very poor. "I'm afraid I haven't played these things at all, no impression at all. Compared to these, I am more skilled at table tennis."

  "I'd rather not play table tennis with Chinese people, today we have to show our faces and let people see how we lovingly celebrate after winning the game, shall we go to a bar and play pool? Can you do that?"

  "Yes, and I'm quite good at it." Ye Feng said confidently.

  "Want to compete? You're just okay, but I'm extremely fierce."

  Two people drove to a rural bar, many bars in Los Angeles have billiard tables for entertainment. Ariel's billiards skills are exceptionally strong and can almost go professional, after playing for a while, Ye Feng, this amateur, didn't win a single game.

  Seeing Aili hit a high-difficulty shot that made Hei Ba win again, Ye Feng couldn't help but say: "How are you so powerful?"

  "There's a pool table in our house's entertainment room, I often practice." Ariel said proudly. After finishing speaking, she glanced at the distant table and pointed to her throat.

  Ye Feng picked up a bottle of purified water from the table and threw it to her accurately, smiling: "You've done so much for me, how should I repay you?"

  Ellie gulped down a few mouthfuls of water, screwed the cap back on and tossed it onto the seat, laughing: "You just need to be a qualified boyfriend, before I gain actual control over the Fast Ship team, you can't have a girlfriend, can't spread rumors, and before our high-profile breakup, you must stay by my side, got it? Simple enough?"

  Ye Feng nodded and said: "Very simple, is there anything else?"

  Ellie said seriously, "And I hope you can swear an oath, otherwise I won't be at ease. Living with a beauty like Gabriella, it's easy to develop feelings for her, I'm warning you, if you two get together and the reporters find out, don't blame me for being impolite. Swear now!"

  "Now?"

  "Right, now." Aria said languidly.

  Ye Feng made a praying gesture and said softly: "I swear to be a qualified boyfriend, amen."

  Airi leaned against the billiard table, her fists clenched and her eyebrows slightly furrowed as she said loudly, "No way, you're not sincere enough, are you? You have to make me feel your sincerity."

  She shouted like this, and people around them all looked over at them.

  Ye Feng found it amusing, clearly fake, why still make an oath? What should be said to be considered sincere? He suddenly remembered a Hong Kong movie starring Cecilia Cheung and got inspired. He first walked to the counter to buy a vase of lilies from the service staff, then walked in front of Ailier, held out the flowers, and spoke with deep affection: "From now on, I'll only care for you, pamper you, not deceive you, fulfill every promise I make to you, speak truthfully to you, not bully or scold you, believe in you. If someone bullies you, I'll come to help at the first moment. When you're happy, I'll accompany you; when you're unhappy, I'll coax you into happiness. Forever think you're the most beautiful, dream of you every night, and only have you in my heart! Will you?"

  Ariel hadn't seen the movie, she took the flowers with both hands, her face actually turned a little red, and after biting her lip, she smiled: "Not bad, passed."

  Airi was satisfied with his almost confession, but the young men and women next to them were all misunderstood. I don't know who started it first, a group of people applauded for them. The two paid the bill and left the bar.

  As they reached the car, Ellie laughed and said: "You can say such things, yet you usually pretend to be a pure-hearted guy? Alas, once you become a soccer star, you'll definitely turn into a playboy."

  Ye Feng smiled and said: "This is the first time I've said something like this, I won't say it to anyone else. Now I'm your boyfriend."

  Airi hummed and added: "Fake!"

  Ye Feng stood in front of the car door and smiled: "Fake, I can also do it to be qualified. You sit in the passenger seat, I'll drive, this way is more considerate."

  Airi sat in the passenger seat and smiled: "Let's go watch a movie. I heard that Transformers is pretty good."

  "Good."

  Two people eating snacks, watching movies, playing until late at night before going home.

  Love should be a slow and gradual process, accumulated bit by bit in life, requiring mutual understanding and tolerance, as well as sufficient patience, to become a couple. Ye Feng and Ailier, this fake couple, do not intentionally try to please each other, but instead show their true nature, quickly becoming familiar with each other, like close friends.

  Back home, Gabriela was still awake, she rented a video tape and sat alone on the couch watching the movie.

  As soon as she heard the sound of the door opening, Gabriella pressed the pause button on the remote control and smiled: "You're back, how was your date?"

  "First went to a bar to play pool, then went to watch a movie, it was pretty good. Did you rent Resident Evil?"

  Gabriella sighed, "Oh, I want to learn how to be cool. Those movies and TV shows you mentioned, my agent contacted them for auditions, but they all failed, they think I'm not cool enough, I think you're cool just by showing up on the court, how can I be like you?"

  "You'll only be able to act in horror movies if you perform like that on stage." Ye Feng sat down beside her and said softly, "Don't be depressed, you're just too young and inexperienced, so the directors don't use you. There will be opportunities. I met Adam Sandler at a dance party and we hit it off. If he's going to make a new movie, you can go try out for a role in his film, no problem."

  "Really, thank you." Gabriella regained her smile and stared at Ye Feng again and again.

  Ye Feng touched his face and asked: "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

  Gabriella said softly, "No, I think you're amazing. When I first met you, I thought we were the same kind of people who work hard for our dreams, that's why I wanted to live with you. We started from similar places, but now you've succeeded in your career and are much stronger than me. Neil and Barry even look up to you now and want your autograph."

  Ye Feng smiled and said: "Signing is too formal, let's take a photo together when we have time. But I must remind them not to be infatuated with me, I'm just a legend."

  Gabriella giggled and suddenly asked: "Ye, you and Ailier are in a relationship, will you move out to live together in the future?"

  "What's wrong, don't you feel comfortable with me?"

  "Gabriella said lightly: "No, I'm willing to be roommates with you, but won't Aria get jealous? When she came today, she asked me if I had a boyfriend. She might be worried that something will happen when we live together."

  She might be thinking of having something happen with you if she asks if you have a boyfriend. Ye Feng sighed inwardly. "Don't think too much, I know her well, she won't mess around. And I won't move out either, if I move to her place now, maybe the media will say I'm being kept by her."

  "What are you talking about, that's so unpleasant. I think you two are very suitable, although she is much older than you... uh... I didn't mean to say it's bad that she's older... it's just that you're too young, no... I won't say anything else." Gabriela covered her face and lowered her head.

  Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, laughing and leaning back on the sofa. What an expression! He really didn't want to move out, living with Gabriella was quite warm too.

  The next day, Ye Feng was again on the headlines. The title read "Bar Proposal? Lakers' Hungry Wolf and Clippers Princess Finally Tie the Knot!"

  Originally, someone took Ye Feng's words as a marriage proposal and sent the information to the media. Before training began, a reporter specially interviewed Ye Feng, who spent a lot of effort explaining himself clearly.

  The reporter also asked about the age issue. "You and Miss Sterling have a 6-year age difference, if you don't rush into marriage, will it affect your feelings for each other?"

  Yue Feng replied: "Jane Eyre and Rochester (who were twenty years apart) didn't have problems because of their age difference, so we won't either."

  The reporter also wrote his words into the news. The "proposal event" made his exposure rate increase greatly again.
