Chapter 92 A Call From My Hometown

More than ten days have passed since Christmas, and 2007 has come in a blink of an eye, and the new year will have a new atmosphere.

Byron lived up to the expectations of Dawei and Lan Shengli, and became the "sales elite" of the fitness club, but Lan Shengli was still struggling to find the answer, looking for the job of "basketball coach".

The repeated encounters did not shake Lan Shengli's determination, but Dawei's words made Lan Shengli a little confused.

Lan Shengli knows that what Dawei said makes sense. Being a Chinese teacher and returning to his old profession can also make a difference in Los Angeles, but that is no longer what Lan Shengli hoped for. When he left Berkeley, Lan Shengli said that he wanted to change Life.

But the reality is cruel, Lan Shengli can't sleep at night, full of thoughts.

"Bru~?! Are you asleep~?!"

When Byron asked here, it seemed that Byron was always worried about Lan Shengli.

"Not yet~"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Thinking about what Dawei said just now~"

Byron guessed.

"You won't be the roundworm in my stomach~~"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"Ascarids are not counted as brain worms, haha~!!"

Byron was joking.

"Hey, do you think I should persist or not~!?, I really don't have any breakthroughs now. Even if you let me go to UCLA for an interview now, I'm afraid I don't have the courage~~".

Lan Shengli sighed.

It seems that what Dawei said before, coupled with the repeated failures in the interview, the two did shake Lan Shengli's firm belief a little.

"You just said at the dinner table that failure is the mother of success, why don't you have confidence~!?"

Byron asked.

"It's not that I don't have confidence, it may be that I can't do what I want, as long as I have a breakthrough, give me a chance to set foot in that circle, I will succeed~!!"

As Lan Shengli spoke, he suddenly regained his energy.

"I really want to help you, but you also know that even if I can arrange an interview for you, your resume and your own situation are really too difficult. In a big basketball country like the United States, the most indispensable thing is basketball talents. , you have seen it before, a well-known retired player like Ron Harper can only be said to have a training class, if he is like you, without any fame, then there will be no one in the training class ~~"

Byron explained.

"That's true, but I always feel that this breakthrough seems to be coming~!!"

Lan Shengli entered a meditation stage.

"Okay, let's wait for the breakthrough~~ Go to sleep, rest well to be in a good state, I will contact you when I have time~!!"

Byron said, the two stopped chatting and fell asleep soon.

"Wait, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~"

With the first ray of sunlight entering the room in the morning, the classic Nokia ringtone rang, and Lan Shengli woke up suddenly from sleep, barely opened his eyes, and looked at the phone.

"Mom~!?!?"

When Lan Shengli saw the note on the call, he woke up instantly, his eyes widened, and he said in surprise.

Lan Shengli held the phone, not knowing whether to answer it, after all, too many things happened to him during this period, and Lan Shengli didn't tell his family about these things.

Lan Shengli also knew that if his family members knew about these things, the consequences would be disastrous.

"What are you doing~!? Answer the phone~!?"

These words were not spoken by Lan Shengli's mother, but by Byron who had just finished his morning exercise, returned home, walked into the room, and was about to change clothes.

"My mother is calling, please don't make any noise for a while, do you hear me~!! Then don't let Dawei enter my room~!!"

Lan Shengli ordered.

Byron was also very sensible, and immediately ran out of the room upon seeing this, creating a "flawless" environment for Lan Shengli.

"Hey, Mom~!!"

Lan Shengli made preparations.Adjusting his tone, he answered the phone and said.

"What's going on~!? Didn't answer the phone for half a day~!? Your dad and I slept late for a while and wanted to call you. You said how long you haven't called home~!!"

The calls were connected one by one, and Lan Shengli's mother began to complain.

"It's my fault, Mom, I'm too busy at work, my fault, I will call often in the future, besides, I didn't send happy New Year text messages on New Year's Day~!!"

Lan Shengli admitted his mistake and refuted it, which was not considered stubborn.

It's acceptable for her mother to pick and choose Lan Shengli. Now what Lan Shengli fears most is asking about work and life.

"What's the use of text messages? We just want to know how you are doing recently. After all, you are abroad. Although you are old and young, we are also worried~!"

Lan Shengli's mother was talking, talking, as if she was about to cry.

"Mom, I've been abroad for so many years, it's okay, you have to trust your son~!! But then again, with such an expensive international long-distance call, don't you just want me to tell you I'm safe~! !"

Lan Shengli asked back.

"That's what happened. Isn't it the Chinese New Year? Your dad and I wanted to call you to see if you could go home for the Chinese New Year this year. Last year, you said you would come back, but in order to participate in the teacher grade evaluation It didn’t come true, so there should be nothing to do this year, take Xiaojing and come back to celebrate the New Year, your dad and I miss you a lot too, miss Xiaojing a lot~~”

Lan Shengli's mother also quickly got to the point.

"Mom~~, you~~, have you called Xiaojing~!?"

Hearing what his mother said, Lan Shengli felt a little guilty, so he asked in a cautious tone.

"Didn't you two live together? If I call you, I'll call her, silly boy~~"

It seems that Lan Shengli's mother doesn't seem to know it yet. Fortunately, Lan Shengli's mother reacts slowly, otherwise, she has already discovered the "flaw" in Lan Shengli's words.

"That's true, haha, how about this, Mom, I'll ask her first, and I'll get back to you after I've asked, okay~!!"

Seeing that he was at a loss, Lan Shengli declined.

"What~!? She's still sleeping~!?"

Lan Shengli's mother asked.

"Well, yes~!! Yes~!! Yes, otherwise, why would it take me a long time to answer the phone? I ran to the first floor to answer the phone, for fear of waking her up~!! How much your son loves his wife , haha~!!"

Lan Shengli saw that he was finally able to "come back", and he had more confidence to speak.

"Yo Yo Yo, I forgot my mother before I married a wife, then okay, hurry up and get back to me after asking~~"

Lan Shengli's mother seemed to be in a hurry.

"How could I forget you, mom~!!, let us discuss this matter for a while, it's not early on your side, you and my dad should go to bed early, and we will call again after we finish discussing." Here you go, okay~!!"

Lan Shengli procrastinated as long as possible to think of ways to take countermeasures.
