Chapter 693 Little Devil(1/2)
Thanksgiving in 2013 is no different from usual.
This is the fifth consecutive year that Wei Xia can spend this festival with his wife and parents in his hometown.
However, Wei Xia and his family had no good feelings for this festival.
The reason is very simple. The existence of Thanksgiving itself is a huge irony of American morality. Behind it, the mother of the United States, Britain, and Wei Xia's mother Mei Chen, as a British man, was instinctively ashamed of this historical instinct.
However, if you follow the local customs and settle in the United States, you have to pretend that this is really a festival of gratitude to the Indians. It is enough to force yourself to forget the bloody history behind it for a short time.
The Wei family made Thanksgiving a completely different atmosphere.
Thanksgiving is equivalent to Turkey for most Americans, and they don't eat turkey.
This day of every year is Mei Chen’s cooking show day.
After Wei Xia got married, his wife Elaine joined the kitchen. From then on, Mei Chen was no longer an autocrat in the kitchen. Although Elaine's cooking skills could not pose a threat to Mei Chen, it was always good to have a competitor.
Jordan in 1993 told us that people who have been lonely and defeated for too long are easily lost.
This morning, Wei Xia went to the sunset center as usual.
He drove his car and played his favorite music.
The song was in full swing, and suddenly I received a call from Kobe.
"My friend, may you be as energetic as every jump shot you make today."
As soon as Wei Xia spoke, Kobe knew that this person was always beating.
“The gift was received?”
"My friend, I know you like to pick details, but you don't have to pick details until when will the express delivery be delivered to your door?"
This is the case. Although Kobe and Wei Xia are not on the same team, they have always kept in touch. Giving gifts to each other during festivals is a basic gift. Wei Xia often chooses gifts. For example, he will specialize in studying what Vanessa is interested in, or what Kobe's daughters are interested in - but Kobe is not interested in - and prove that he is the person who is the most rigorous in treating red tape.
First of all, Kobe has no doubt about his sincerity in choosing gifts, but since he wants to use the word "most" that is easy to provoke others' fighting spirit, he cannot blame him for being serious.
So this year Kobe carefully selected gifts and ordered the express delivery, even the time to deliver the express delivery was tight.
"Oh my friend, if you fucking talk to me in this tone, I'll fly to Philadelphia now to kick you into the Delaware River, know?"
Wei Xia was just about to be a little slutty, but when she turned around, she thought it was not worth taking risks for this. He couldn't say anything about others, and Kobe couldn't do anything.
"I received the gift and I really liked it."
In fact, he hadn't seen the gift yet, and he just felt that Kobe had worked so hard that he wouldn't disappoint him.
They chatted for a few moments, and Wei Xia turned the topic around Kobe's private plane.
"Stop it, stop saying this alarmist!"
“Is there any wrong data in my data?”
On the two issues, they could not convince each other.
Kobe insisted on using private jets because the probability of an accident in the plane is much lower than that in a motor vehicle accident.
Wei Xia could not refute this. If he hadn't been able to see the future by chance, he wouldn't have been asking for trouble for Kobe to waste a lot of time and replace it with a motor vehicle.
But there is one thing that Kobe couldn't convince Wei Xia.
What will happen if a motor vehicle is in a car accident, but once the plane crashes, especially if it is altitude above 50 meters, the probability of survival is 0.
"Put your worrying heart elsewhere." Kobe used this as the end of this call, "I'm fine!"
Wei Xia put his phone back to his original position, and the things predicted by the dream had either come true or were avoided by him.
Only Kobe's plane crash remained.
Wei Xia felt a sense of urgency because he didn't know when this matter would come, so he would mention this every time he spoke with Kobe.
He has to make Kobe feel a sense of urgency.
Even if he doesn't care, he has to make Kobe come to Lenovo every time he encounters hidden dangers on a plane, "What if that guy is right?"
Of course, it is the most direct way to get Kobe to give up his private jet.
But this is almost impossible. Kobe's concept of time is extraordinary. He is the kind of person who refuses to waste a second. The prime time in Los Angeles is like a Japanese subway. He has to delay hours on the road every day when he continues to use motor vehicles. Therefore, letting Kobe establish sufficient safety awareness is the key to avoiding tragedy.
This thing cannot be done in one day. Wei Xia would rather get Kobe annoyed.
Anyway, Kobe has been annoyed by him for a long time, so he is still giving him a gift on Thanksgiving.
Sunset Center
Wei Xia's teammates each distributed gifts, and Cousins was the most active in this regard.
The gifts Wei Xia prepared for them were not expensive, but they were all carefully selected. For example, the gift he gave to Cousins was a book. Thanks to the Zen master, he thought of saving money so much, not being extravagant and wasteful, and showing his intentions and help.
The book he chose for Cousins was Spike Cotter's best-selling book The Road Less Traveled.
The gift to Hayward was Chris Mullin's signature jersey.
The gift to Louis Williams is a golden microphone...
It's not the most expensive, but it's definitely the most attentive. He is sure that Kobe is not as careful when choosing gifts.
"People, I wish you a happy day and a happy tomorrow. I hope we can always be happy. I have never been as sure as I am now that good things will happen in the future!"
Before the crowd at the Sunset Center dispersed, Wei Xia said to his teammates and staff.
When he walked out of the sunset center, Wei Xia met General Manager Hinki.
Since the day Hinki took office, Wei Xia's impression of him has basically been limited to "professional management personnel". He is exactly the same as the cold-blooded businessmen in business war TV series.
But there is a little difference. Those merchants try their best to sell their goods, ruthlessly squeezing employees, kicking them away when they have no value.
Hinki hopes to take advantage of their value to get out to trade.
At present, the 76ers are in good condition, and Wei Xia has not heard any trading rumors.
"Happy holiday, Wish," Hinki said with a smile.
Wei Xia said: "I asked someone to put your gift in the office."
"Oh, do I have a share, too?" Hinki asked unexpectedly.
"Of course," said Wei Xia, "You can't be missing if you don't have any demarcus."
In fact, he originally wanted to say "lose Kobe's share", but Hinki may not understand what it is to not give Kobe a Thanksgiving gift to him, so he joked about Cousins.
Hinki smiled and said, "But... I didn't bring your gift here, Wish, I'll give it to you next time."
Wei Xia nodded tacitly, knowing that Hinki did not prepare his gift. This was not a slight or anything else, and he did not prepare a gift for anyone in the Sunset Center.
This mathematical monster, data control, is a cold-blooded robot that only knows how to analyze value research and transactions to help the team find a way out, and does not know how to deal with interpersonal relationships.
If such a person is placed in a team that is determined to play badly, he may have unexpected results with the coldness of not silence the world.
What about a team that needs him to strengthen?
Wei Xia looked at Hinki's back and didn't think too much.
On the way home, he began to wonder, what was Kobe's carefully selected gift?
Call home and ask?
Forget it, leave a suspense.
A sense of expectation! A sense of expectation! A sense of expectation!
Wei Xia's sense of expectation is like netizens who heard that Mr. Lola Takizawa was deeply trapped in the sea of suffering. All of them hope to use their own Internet speed to save him from the sea of suffering. But when we walk into the deep sea and see his true face, we mostly feel deceived.
Now, Wei Xia has the same expectation.
The moment he returned home, he found that one of his drag kids had lost inexplicably.
"Where am I dragging my kid?"
Then he entered the living room wearing a slipper, and what caught his sight was a scene that made him dizzy. The living room seemed to be robbed by robbers, and all the things that could be knocked over were knocked over. On the sofa, a creature with colorful pigments was roaring fiercely.
"Woof, woof, woof!"
Then, Wei Xia saw the unfinished child who was inexplicably missing.
"Back?" Elaine walked out of the kitchen and was used to the scene in the living room.
It seems that this is not the first time this damn dog has committed the crime.
Wei Xia squinted her eyes and smiled, "Don't tell me, this product is a Thanksgiving gift from Kobe."
Elaine said regretfully: "I want to say no, but... Kobe really knows what kind of gift you 'like'."
Wei Xia took out her cell phone.
"Mom doesn't know what happened outside yet, you still have time." Elaine reminded "kindness".
Wei Xia asked in surprise: "Then why didn't you clean it first before... No, why didn't you control this evil dog first?"
"Woom!" The evil dog roared in a milky voice.
"I was also deeply surprised by its destructive power... It's amazing that the small body has great power."
"You seem to like it?"
