Super Basketball Manager

Chapter 41 Her

Some things you are always unwilling to face, it will face you after all... It seems that if you don't look for trouble, trouble will find you... But when you bravely face it all, bear it all, and face it all, you will gain more...

—Houston Rockets new general manager Ron's inaugural speech at the press conference.

...

"Are you a fan of Matt Damon?"

Seeing Ron again, Karen seemed very talkative.

"I've seen his "Bourne Shadow"...Is this his movie?"

"Yes..." Karen said with a chuckle.

The two traveled across the set and eventually stopped in a waiting room where the scenery was recorded.

"I don't know if you've read that magazine called Fashionista."

"What??" He looked confused.

"Scarlett and Damon were rated as a good couple in that magazine." She seemed to be alluding to something, but the smile was always on her face.

"This is Harry, hey! Harry, give our Chinese friend a pair of headphones to listen to the dialogue!"

"Hi!" The white man stretched out his hand friendly: "The volume control is here, try to adjust it..."

In front of the set, busy people came and went, setting, homework, field affairs, everyone was working tirelessly.

As soon as Ron put on the earphones, the messy conversations of the whole set came into his ears, including complaints, bad breath of the guy he was singing with, and even snoring.

He repeatedly tuned back and forth to the channel, and tried repeatedly.

Until the sweet voice that was still fresh in his memory echoed in his mind, he touched the machine lightly with a sense of accomplishment.

Not far away, Scarlett, who was preparing to film, chatted happily with a man in a neat suit.

Male: "We are in such a messy place, we definitely can't finish filming today..."

Scarlett: "That's impossible, I have to go back to New York tonight..."

Man: "Stop showing off, oh my god, that's a big ass!"

(A pair of female models walk past them, Scarlett covers her mouth and giggles.)
Man: "This will definitely draw out the interest of those gay friends in the impotence of the opposite sex!"

This guy should go and buy a copy of "Actor's Self-cultivation" from Master Xing.

Ron glanced over, it was a slightly frivolous man.

Scarlett became serious: "I was thinking, looking at such a beautiful thing, your indecent remarks should be kicked out of the set by the director."

The man looked embarrassed: "Okay! As long as you are noble and elegant, that's fine!"

Scarlett smiled. "Come on, I'm kidding you!"

"By the way, Scarlett! Who is that timid Chinese who talked to you just now?" He sneered.

Damn it!Scarlett closed her eyes depressed.But she suddenly turned her head very calmly, and chuckled: "What? No! Is there?"

"Damon and I both saw it! That guy went back to the locker room without saying a word, it seems that the next film..."

"...It's just acquaintances before, I..." Her facial nerves twitched a little: "It's really embarrassing, I don't know what he is doing here...I don't want anyone to talk about me behind my back, so..."

"That's why...how about I fix him up for you...and let him go..."

"No...no, I'll leave him alone, and he'll leave by himself later..." She said while vigilantly taking a sip of the prop sake in her hand.

Ron, who had witnessed everything, had a hard grin on the corner of his mouth.

The sense of loss slowly dropped his gaze...

"Of course...you are a big star..." He comforted himself, but these words seemed so pale.

He took a deep breath, stood up, and returned the earphones to the white uncle who was doing homework.

"Thank you! I have to..."

"Come anytime!"

...

He put his hands in his pockets, which was actually within Ron's acceptance range...

Although the sun is still so bright, although in front of him, there is still a dream road full of hope...

There are gains and losses.

He thought about it, but after all, he couldn't feel happy anymore...

...

He spent the whole afternoon thinking about human nature in the bookstore... He could easily see which players had no confidence in him, but he stumbled over his relationship issues.

Maybe there is no intersection between two parallel lines.

Just like me, in her heart, is just someone I knew before...

"I hate to disturb you when you are working, Ron!" The little old man was a little excited. "But someone sent you something..."

"Give me something? You must have made a mistake! The bookstore is yours!" He made up his mind, and he didn't want to move his seat half a step away.

"But it's not for the store, it's yours, kid! Or, you'd like me to replace it..." Uncle Tucker kept winking at Ron, but in the end he couldn't hold back the damn old urchin.

She is wearing a white short-sleeved, blue skirt and white canvas shoes, she looks like a primary school girl in college.

Scarlett, who was dressed in a simple and plain country dress, stared at Ron with a curious look.

Not to mention, she still looks so fresh and charming without the noble and elegant luxury.

She opened her mouth and greeted with a chuckle: "Hi! Handsome guy! You are doing well! You even dare to let go of my pigeons!"

"Hello!" Ron forced a smile on his face with difficulty, looking very awkward.

Strange, embarrassing, unspeakable...

Her whole body suddenly became worried, and it seemed that her sixth sense seemed to tell her a not-so-beautiful reality.

"I... just don't want to disturb your filming... Now that I see you, I'm satisfied... I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first..."

"How are you doing lately?" She asked with a forced smile.

"Good, um, I heard about you. You won an award! And the pay is getting better and better! That's great!"

"Forget it! Even though I always thought that that is the meaning of life...it's just a process, really."

Ron smiled and nodded.

"Morning...it's...the day when the movie was finished, so...me." She was a little at a loss, and began to panic, as if her body was not accused by herself at all. "But... I brought you this from home..."

"So, I'll give it to you..." Her tender eyes fixed on Ron, and there was even a little nervousness in it.

"What? I can..." He kept a distance from her all the time, which made her very uncomfortable.

"No, don't now... I'll feel embarrassed then..." She suddenly looked at Ron red-eyed, as if she had been wronged.

"..." Ron was silent.

"Actually that day...in New York...then you showed up...to Houston...you know...it was my first time in Houston...and...the whole person wandered here for some reason...and then I went online to find a phone that probably didn't exist at all...and...every time I encountered something...I always thought about 0726 Lincoln Street...it seemed like I lost my soul here..." She hesitated, unable to speak clearly...even she herself didn't know why she was so ugly now.

"What are you talking about? I didn't understand a word... Did you say some American slang? I'm Chinese!" Ron smirked.

"Actually...well...actually..." She actually became shy like a little girl...even her eyes were wrong.

"What?" Ron smiled wryly. What is this crazy little woman playing?Could it be that he went crazy in filming, right?
For some reason, Scarlett wanted to calm her heart several times, even when she won the award and performed on stage for the first time, she was never so nervous.

Every time she tried to calm down, her rationality was immediately knocked out as soon as she met those gentle eyes.

"Ding Dong!" A customer just opened the door.

"We don't have anything here, get out!" Ron roared solemnly.

Scarlett also glanced over, the man froze there for a moment, thought for a while, and used his hands and feet to run away.

"Could it be that you are here to generate revenue for the bookstore again?" Ron eased the atmosphere upon seeing this.

She finally smiled sweetly: "...Actually, I'm leaving here today, but I..."

She frowned again suddenly, looked at Ron cautiously and said this mess again: "But I wonder...would you let me stay for a while...or a little longer...well, I mean maybe..."

"??" Ron was at a loss. Maybe on the court, he could immediately judge right from wrong, but in love, he couldn't even figure out the heart of a simple girl.

He kept blinking, his face blank.

She finally gave up on waiting for Muyu's head to open up, decisively let go of all dignity and airs, and said without any affectation: "...Actually, I want to know if you still like me..."

Surprised, marveled, completely dumbfounded...

But Ron was still struggling in his heart.

"But when the man asked you who I am just now, you still said..." Ron was a little worried: "I heard you, you are wearing a microphone..."

She sobbed, she had never hated herself so much, she still said stubbornly: "Do you want me to tell the most obscene man in the United States of America, the truth about my life, so that he can spread it? Some things... I really can't help myself... Some words, you know they are false, you have to say... Even if it violates your conscience... But I... I'm really sorry... I'm sorry... I made you feel cold... I..."

Yes, how do I know this.You're a big star...and I'm just a wretch chasing my dreams.

"No... Actually, it's nothing..."

He pretended to be strong and took her hand, but at this moment, the teardrops in front of her eyes accidentally slipped down.

No matter how uncomfortable he was in his heart, Ron still pretended to be happy and smiled: "Listen... this is the dream I least want to wake up from... I'm an idiot without much emotional experience... I also dreamed of some unrealistic things... But dreams will eventually wake up..."

"In the dream...we have no humility, we don't have anyone bothering us...but...uh...Scarlett...can I say no...and...just leave as if I haven't heard anything?"…

He put it mildly...

"Of course...hehe...Okay...of course..." She turned around as if lost in her soul, and sighed deeply, tears rolled in her eyes on her sour and slightly red cheeks...

You are a big star, and I'm just a small employee...

Ron repeatedly murmured in his heart that he was afraid that he would rush up and hug her by accident...

"Then, I'm leaving! It's a pleasure to meet you... You are a very good man!" She still forced a sour smile, and the last bit of her dignity left Ron's eyes flushed...

"The problem is, I'm really... very risky with you... In fact, if we are friends, it's an ideal situation... Except for your hot temper and princess disease... But... my psychological endurance is really limited. I don't know if I'm thrown aside by you again, I will..."

"There are too many photos of you here, too many movies, once you leave, I will definitely..."

"I was born in the far east, on the other side of the ocean...you were born in the bustling New York...the capital of the world...what's more, I'm just a poor clerk, my name can't even be remembered by my mother...and everyone in the world knows who you are..."

Ron was silent.It's like the last answer.

After a long silence, she finally became hysterical...

"Fame is just something unreal...and..." Uncontrollable tears finally overwhelmed her rationality, she laughed and shed tears: "And don't forget, I'm just a girl... standing in front of a boy... asking him to love her..."

She was finally relieved, "Goodbye!" She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, then tiptoed away.

What the hell am I doing?Ron clenched his palms tightly, shaking uncontrollably all over his body...

Open the gift, it is the authentic "I-believe"... The flying Michael Jordan, that heroic posture, is the dream of every basketball fan.

Ron's hands began to tremble and he rolled over his back, and he suddenly whimpered and burst into tears.

It was a picture of two people leaning side by side and looking at the stars under the night sky, and the clear inscription below was her signature: "I-believe-I-love-U"

...

Inside the bookstore…

People in twos and threes gathered around Ron.

"I really appreciate you guys coming to give me some advice..." He smiled and said to everyone.

Yao Ming's family, and the little old man Tucker.

"Listen, take a deep breath, and then you have to pretend nothing happened. Only then will other people obey you." Dad Yao said seriously. "You know, Berry, as well as those directors and administrators, each of them is an old fritter who has been in the league..."

"Don't worry...but speaking of it...what's the matter with you and that big star?" Uncle Tucker just said it, and subconsciously found that everyone present was casting unfriendly glances...

"..." Ron smiled bitterly: "What do you think? Am I doing the right thing?"

"Yes...you did it right..." Papa Yao sighed tremblingly, then fell silent again...

"I mean... come to think of it, she's nothing special..."

"That's right!" Ye Li said hesitantly, "All female stars are as irritable as snakes..."

Everyone nodded thoughtfully...

"Uncle Tucker...what do you think?" Ron laughed.

"Never have anything to do with her again!" said the little old man seriously.

"Very good! Dayao!"

"If you've been with her..." Dayao smirked and was pinched severely by Ye Li.

The door was opened suddenly, and Olajuwon barged in happily.

"I came as soon as I received the call, yo! Why is the future boss so sad!"

"Come on..."

"He just rejected the love proposal of a woman you can't imagine..." Dayao said jokingly.

"Scarlett?" Olajuwon's face suddenly changed 360 degrees.

Everyone nodded in surprise.

"You idiot!" Olajuwon lifted Ron's collar.

"No no...it's actually quite sensible..."

"Tuck! You old bastard! They don't know our culture, even you are funny?" Olajuwon pushed Ron away, groaned and sat aside, sullen.

"Is that painting authentic?" Yao Ma suddenly asked nervously.

"Um... I think it should be..."

"What she seems to enjoy is looking at the stars with you??" Dayao blinked his eyes and cried inwardly.

"What?" Ron asked curiously.

Olajuwon: "He is an idiot...Yao Ming, you are talking to him!"

Everyone stared at Yao Ming.

Yao Ming: "What? I just wanted to say, it's always a good thing if a girl wants to watch the stars with you, isn't it?"

Olajuwon: "You care too much about her identity! We Westerners are very romantic about love...Maybe love is love, what else?"

Ron blinked suspiciously.

"It's...it's...I mean...I know I'm not good enough for her, and there's no guy who doesn't like her, but...she said maybe she's famous...but she also said...she's just a girl..."

"Standing in front of a man...asking him to love her..."

Olajuwon spread his hands, and the eyes of everyone on the scene were full of strangeness... Ron glanced around speechlessly, holding his head in frustration...

"I'm going! Have I done another stupid thing? Have I become the dumbest idiot in the world?"

Olajuwon nodded solemnly...

"Yes!"

"O Lord, how fast is your car?"

"Hey! Tonight's press conference at the Toyota Center..."

"I know!"

...

　Friends who hope to watch, can save it with a little effort, thank you!

　　Friends who are able to help vote are greatly appreciated.

　　The new book data is still very bleak.
