Chapter 457 Annie's Something Wrong
Three days later, Zhen Fan finished his work with the Lakers and was ready to go home. The reason why he stayed with the Lakers was mainly to give Wei Chao extra training and special treatment. Although the other team members wanted to be treated this way by Zhen Fan, they were all rejected by Zhen Fan. How to improve your combat effectiveness? It is impossible to achieve without a corresponding price.
However, Zhen Fan still agreed to two people, one is Cole. Brian, one is Pete. howard. Especially Howard was stalking, invited dinner, and took Zhen Fan to the bar. Zhen Fan accepted all this, but he didn't let go until Howard wrote a cash check for five million dollars. Only then did he reluctantly agree to let Howard maintain his current peak state until he was thirty-six years old.
This is a very cost-effective deal. At the age of thirty-five, even top players can only exert about 80% of their power at their peak. Even when Jordan retired from the Bulls in 1997, he was only 34 years old. It was already his golden age, and after paying for it, it was already in decline.
This is tantamount to prolonging his golden age for several years, so Howard hugged and said goodbye to Zhen Fan contentedly, and even kissed Zhen Fan's forehead. It seems a little too small.
As for Bryan, the number one star of the Lakers, he knocked Zhen Fan unconscious with $8 million to buy him a four-year golden period. Now that Brian is thirty-six years old, he plans to play until forty Years old, so he spent two million per year. Let Zhen Fan maintain the best condition for him for four years.
"Don't abandon us!" When Howard and Zhen Fan parted, he looked like a resentful woman, such a big black man. Saying such boudoir resentment, morality dropped all over the place.
Brian was better, he just hugged Zhen Fan and agreed to go fishing with Zhen Fan after he retired. In fact, this agreement is meaningless, you can go fishing at any time, saying it now is just a deliberate reality of the relationship between them. It doesn't mean that the friendship is deep.
Wei Chao is the player who has benefited the most, and it may also allow him to sit firmly in the Lakers' main starting lineup, or he may have more achievements than Yao Ming. Therefore, his gratitude to Zhen Fan can only be found in his heart, so on the day Zhen Fan left, he deliberately asked the team for leave and asked Zhen Fan to have a good lunch. Then go back.
Originally, Mike was the most annoying player to ask for leave. Usually they don't look good, but this time they were kind. Not only did they approve the fake, but they also asked Wei Chao to bring him a gift, a pure gold souvenir that looked like the Lakers team badge.
"Thank you, Brother Zhen!" Wei Chao's voice, Brother Zhen, was a little emotional. He and Zhen Fan came out of the restaurant and watched him get into his Escalade. Some regret.
"After this season, will you go back to China for vacation?"
"Yes.
But sometimes there are national team games! "Wei Chao said something.
"Okay, after returning to China, let's get together again, but I may go back during the Spring Festival this year. You have to stay with the team. It's okay. We'll talk about it after the season is over. I have time!" Zhen Fan patted Wei Wei. Chao's shoulder, and then retracted his hand, "I'm leaving, I have something to contact."
Zhen Fan didn't stay any longer, he felt that Wei Chao was his friend, so he would help him unreservedly, but his teammates couldn't do it, Brian and Howard were rich, so they could get Zhen Fan's guarantee, The other teammates obviously don't have that kind of money.
Those teammates with Wei Chao, even if they are superstars like Bryan, Zhen Fan only treats them as business, business is business, if too much personal things are mixed in, it is unprofessional, even if you don’t speak much If you want some, others may not appreciate it!
After bidding farewell to Wei Chao, when I returned to the villa, it happened to be after three o'clock in the afternoon. Only Olivia was in the villa. After she heard the sound of the car, she waited for Zhen Fan's arrival at the door early.
"When will it be the secretary's turn to welcome guests?" Zhen Fan looked at Olivia in surprise, and then went straight to the hall. Even if the air conditioner was not turned on in the hall, it was very cool, which made people feel refreshed. Zhen Fan sat on the sofa, poured himself a glass of wine, and planned to take a nap after having a drink.
"Mr. Zhen, Mr. Bit Jackson has called you. He wants to discuss the script with you. Now that "The Hobbit" has been released, the first week's box office has topped the North American box office, so he can now Finding time to prepare for the next movie!"
"Next movie?"
"Yes, it is a movie adapted from your own experience. He asked me to tell you that he will come to you with the screenwriter tomorrow morning. How should I reply to him?" Olivia pursed her lips and looked at the Zhen Fan.
"Promise him!" Zhen Fan sighed, "It's really hard work."
Olivia turned around and stuck out her tongue. Is this considered hard work? Those employees who are tired like dogs in the company every day, aren't they living in hell? Shaking his head, he went back to his study to make a phone call.
After taking a nap for a while, Zhen Fan woke up, looked at the time, and found that it was past four o'clock, so he got up and swam a few laps in the swimming pool, then got up, and called to Olivia: "You have to It's almost time to prepare dinner, I guess you are a novice, you will have two hours to prepare, by then Claire and Anne will be home too!"
"Yes, Mr. Zhen!" Olivia came out of the study with a sad face, "But... Claire and Anne don't live here anymore, they found a new place, it's great!"
"Oh?" Zhen Fan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Annie would move out after he had been out for a few days. This incident made him stunned for a moment, and then he laughed. This is a very normal thing. With Annie's character, It is impossible for her to live here for a long time. She is a woman with a weak appearance but a strong heart.
"That's fine, do you know the address?" Zhen Fan asked.
"Of course, she wrote a note here, here it is for you, right here!" Olivia said, took out a note from the study and handed it to Zhen Fan.
Zhen Fan took it over and took a look, then put it aside, he wanted to go and see it today, but he held back, and said to Olivia, "Cancel the agreement with Bit for me, I'll check it out tomorrow morning Visit Annie's new place!"
"What?" Olivia poked her head out of the kitchen, "Sir, you are wrong, since you have made an appointment with someone, don't change your itinerary easily!"
Seeing Olivia listening seriously, Zhen Fan shrugged: "Well, you are right!"
It seems that the time will be adjusted to the afternoon.
At about six o'clock, Mia also came back. She looked at Zhen Fan sitting on the sofa in the hall and the voice from the kitchen not far away, and couldn't help laughing.
"Olivia is preparing dinner!" Zhen Fan said to Mia, "You have been busy all day, sit down and rest for a while!"
Mia nodded, sat next to Zhen Fan, looked around, couldn't help but looked at Zhen Fan and said with a smile: "Is it because Annie left, feeling a little uncomfortable?"
What is this nonsense? Zhen Fan immediately looked astonished, and then laughed: "You are saying the opposite, Annie has never been used to living here. It is expected that she will move out of here, but I did not expect it to be so soon!"
"I also asked her today, and she said that living in the new place is very good!" Mia smiled, then looked at Zhen Fan again, and said in a questioning tone, "It's just that I don't quite understand one thing. The different feeling, I can’t say what the change is, it seems that the state of mind is different!”
"Of course, she is very independent! After divorcing Thomas, I thought she was amazing to be able to take Claire alone!" Zhen Fan nodded.
"It's not a big deal. Many families in the United States have fathers or mothers alone with their children. Of course... many of them form families again, and we are all used to it." In the restaurant, Olivia interjected.
"You are also a single-parent family?" Zhen Fan glanced at her, "Don't deny it, you must be a single-parent family, and your mother passed away when you were five years old, have you been living with your father? And... Your father never married again, did he?"
"Ah..." Olivia was obviously a little surprised, she was stunned, she looked at Zhen Fan in shock, countless thoughts turned up in her heart, her hands trembled slightly, "You...you investigate me gone?"
"Why are you being investigated?" Zhen Fan shrugged his shoulders, "I can tell from your face.
"It can be seen from the face!" Olivia's hands stopped shaking this time, but her eyes widened, and she looked at Zhen Fan in disbelief.
"This is a kind of inheritance from our ancient China. From the appearance and signs on the face, we can infer the person's family situation, some of her own experiences and future predictions." Zhen Fan looked at Olivia with a smile, " I can also see that your personality is introverted. When you were seven years old, you suffered from a serious illness that almost killed you. Of course, your life will be relatively smooth in the future, but when you are twenty-five years old, you will experience life. One ups and downs, one big ups and downs!"
"Twenty-five years old?" Olivia opened her mouth, "I... I am twenty-five years old now, boss!"
"So...you have to be more careful recently!" Zhen Fan chuckled, and then looked Olivia up and down again, "And what you do once a month can easily cause your body to convulse. It's caused by pain, so you'd better take good care of your body, especially those few days!"
"Can this be seen?" Olivia stared at Zhen Fan incredulously before closing her mouth.
"Stop joking!" Mia couldn't help interrupting Zhen Fan's grinning words, "This time I used the inspection in traditional Chinese medicine to judge your condition by observing your qi, blood and facial complexion. Say him, and I will too!" Mia smoothed things over, which brought Olivia back to her senses.
She couldn't help but glared at Zhen Fan, and quickly retreated to cook her Chinese food.
"What did you just say? Is there something wrong with Annie today?" Zhen Fan smiled and turned to ask Mia! (To be continued..)
