Chapter 78 Leapfrog Challenge Journey
Su Yang briefly introduced the streetball website founded by Mr. Zhao. At the same time, he mentioned that the other party had approached him many times to jointly establish a Chinese basketball league. It is also a good idea to improve various rules and regulations at the beginning, and then let Mr. Zhao take an important position.

"I know that person you said, the group he belongs to has a cooperative relationship with my dad's company. In fact, they are the ones who found my dad this time. They hope to use my relationship with you to establish an alliance as soon as possible while your personal reputation reaches its peak."

After Lu Rulan finished speaking, there was a little panic in her eyes, and she stood still and didn't go any further.

Su Yang fell silent. He subconsciously felt that there was an exchange of interests in this matter, and he himself was being used. The key point was to let Lu Rulan be a lobbyist.

Seeing that Su Yang didn't say a word, Lu Rulan continued: "I don't know what you're thinking, but don't think so complicatedly. My dad is willing to help because he wants to unite the Chinese in Southern California and help them gain a higher social status."

"Is that so?" Su Yang felt a little better in his heart. "Then you want me to help?"

"It's up to you, don't go against your will because of me." Lu Rulan breathed a sigh of relief. "But I think it's a good thing for you, you can get more supporters, both financially and prestige."

"Then I'll think about it and make a decision when I see your dad." Su Yang nodded and promised, then changed the subject, chatting with Lu Rulan about the Taylor Swift he saw in New York, and about the movie that will be released at the end of the year. watch.

...

At noon on the winter solstice, Su Yang drove to Dongmu Community according to the address given by Lu Rulan.

Unfamiliar cars were not allowed to drive in, so he had to get out of the car and walk. He found that Asians, especially Chinese, could be seen almost everywhere. The houses and roads in the entire community showed a scene of prosperity, and Lu Rulan's house was a rather large single-family villa.

Before Su Yang approached, Lu Rulan ran over to pick him up, and the two walked side by side.

Entering the living room, Su Yang saw at least ten people, including men, women and children.

Contrary to what he imagined, no one looked at him with scrutiny. At most, Lu Rulan glanced at him when he was introduced. There were two kids who looked like junior high school students who didn't seem to know him at all. He just replied with an 'oh' lightly, which was completely a polite answer, and he didn't even know what kind of concept that was.

After saying hello, Lu Rulan took Su Yang to a study room, and said that her father was waiting for a visitor and she needed to wait.In terms of discussing cooperation, this is a bit rude, but as a junior, it's okay, Su Yang didn't care.

Lu Rulan sat with her for a while, and said she was going to make a pot of tea and bring it over, leaving him alone.

No one was chatting with him, Su Yang pondered for a while, and began to look around the whole study room. Just when he looked up, he saw a copybook on the top of the large row of bookshelves. There is no shame in life'.

Su Yang suddenly recalled the scene of playing "Sekiro" and fighting swords with Genichiro, and immediately laughed out loud.

"Young man, what are you laughing at?" A deep voice sounded from behind Su Yang.

Su Yang turned around slowly, and saw a thin middle-aged man with a big back, his face was not angry and pretentious. It was obvious that he had accumulated the status of a high-ranking person for many years. Thinking of being able to enter the study room at will, he guessed that it was Lu Rulan's father. .

Su Yang got up and stood up straight, looking at the middle-aged man: "I think of happy things..."

"Oh? Because of that sentence?" The middle-aged man's eyes did not change, and his tone was very casual.

But he stood still, with his hands behind his back as if a big leader came to inspect, which made Su Yang feel that the atmosphere was a bit serious, and immediately replied: "Yes, this sentence appeared in a Japanese video game, let me deep impression."

"I see." The middle-aged man sighed slightly, his expression relaxed. "I heard Lanlan say that you like playing games and studying ancient prose, so I thought she was joking."

Su Yang was at a loss for words, and Lu's father continued: "We did not inherit the culture created by the ancestors, but let the little Japanese carry it forward, and made it into a game to make us money, like "Three Kingdoms", I think Feifei and the others A few children play when they have time, but they have no interest in Tang poetry and Song Ci, so they really lost the watermelon and picked sesame seeds.”

Father Lu waved his hand, then dragged a chair and sat opposite Su Yang, with a very sad expression on his face.

Su Yang chuckled: "Children, by nature, like things that are easy to understand, easy to control, and can also get entertainment feedback. They used to play marbles, but now they play games. The threshold for appreciating Tang poetry and Song Ci is too high, which is normal."

Compared with the visual and sound stimulation brought by the bright red numbers that emerge from the critical attack of monsters, the sense of imagery and shock brought by the poem "The yellow sand wears golden armor in all battles, and it will not be returned if you don't break Loulan" is really a bit difficult. Imagine and experience.

"It makes sense for you to say that." Father Lu raised his finger to the poster above the bookshelf. "I heard what you mean just now. Do you understand this sentence? Come and hear it?"

Su Yang blushed immediately. He happened to read the discussion on the netizen about the phrase "the glory of death is the disgrace of life", but he only knew a little about Tang poetry and Song poetry about ancient culture, as well as "Being a Teacher" and other articles he had learned in high school.

"I read that some people on the Internet said it came from "Wu Zi's Art of War", and Zhuge Liang's "General Garden·Generals" also mentioned it, but Wu Zi refers to the whole army, and Zhuge Liang refers to the generals, but the meaning is the same. To survive is to be strong."

Su Yang chooses to tell the truth, seeing other people's interpretation is reading other people's interpretation, pretending to study by himself is too stupid.

"Well, do you know why I wrote this copybook?" Father Lu began to talk about the past, mentioned the difficult experience during the entrepreneurial period, and finally lamented that it was not easy to live overseas, and hoped to unite more Chinese people to strengthen their strength.

Su Yang listened quietly, and Father Lu said again: "Our older generation can't do it. There are too many considerations and involvements, and it is difficult to truly unite as one, but young people still have hope, and your appearance is an opportunity. , I hope that with your appeal, the next generation and even the next generation of Chinese will learn to unite and help each other, learn to fight bravely, and avoid being bullied at will."

Hearing this, Su Yang realized that even if there was an exchange of interests behind the matter, it would be okay. After all, it is difficult to maintain a purely public welfare matter for a long time, and it is not contradictory, so he bluntly said that he is willing to help take the lead, but the core affairs are not participate.

During the discussion, Lu Rulan came in with tea, put it down and formally introduced it, caught Su Yang and praised him, specifically mentioning that he likes and understands ancient culture, the reason why the two met at the beginning was because of a book "Zhuangzi" ".

"Okay! Very good!" Father Lu showed a satisfied expression. "Let's go eat first and talk in the afternoon."

...

About [-] people participated in the lunch. There were two big round tables. Su Yang was specially arranged to sit next to Father Lu. Father Lu introduced him directly as his future son-in-law without any contempt or suspicion.

After lunch, Su Yang and Father Lu sat in the courtyard to discuss matters related to the establishment of the Chinese Basketball League.After talking for more than half an hour, Su Yang's mission was completely clear, that is to call more young Chinese to participate.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Su Yang bid farewell to everyone in the Lu family.

Lu Rulan took the initiative to hold his hand, walked all the way to the outside of the community, and gave him a big hug.

He wanted a goodbye kiss, but was rejected, but still excitedly rushed to the school for training.

After several rounds of strength and aerobics, Su Yang sat on the floor to rest, thinking about how to get more young people involved.Online platforms such as Twitter and Facebook will definitely release news, but it always feels that it is not enough, after all, many people have not started playing.

After thinking about it, Su Yang recalled the fact that he defeated Gabe Pruitt in a one-on-one match in University City Park, which caused widespread discussion among Chinese students and international students, and decisively decided to repeat the previous practice.

"At that time, it caused a sensation. First, I appeared out of thin air, which surprised everyone. Second, I succeeded in leapfrogging the challenge, which shocked everyone. I came from the masses, I want to go to the masses, and everything is for the masses!"

"Then who should I look for first? Just go to UCLA, there are many masters there, such as Darren Collison..."
