Leaving the Oracle Arena, Lu Ke and his party went to Curry's house.

Curry lives in Almo, 28 miles (45 km) east of San Francisco, and is a 30-minute drive from the stadium or training ground, or the city center, providing a quiet living environment away from the hustle and bustle.

Ayesha is ready for a barbecue party to welcome her guests.

Pushing open the door, Lu Ke immediately opened his arms and trotted enthusiastically in the direction where Ayesha was, but his mouth was shouting, "Riley! Riley! Riley! ”

Ayesha shook Riley's little hand with a smile on her face, "Look, who the hell is this!" Uncle Bambi is coming to see you again! Look, with those big eyes and black hair, isn't it Uncle Bambi? ”

Lu Ke immediately put on a cute expression, pursed his mouth, stepped forward, and gently pressed his head against Riley's arm, causing the little guy to laugh non-stop; Riley awkwardly raised his hands to hug Lu Ke's neck, and then smeared saliva on Lu Ke's cheeks indiscriminately, his enthusiastic appearance was really unbearable.

Suddenly, the corners of Riley's mouth flickered and blew a bubble, she didn't know what was going on, staring at the bubble in a daze, her hands still holding Lu Ke's cheeks, and she fell into a daze; Then, with a "pop", the bubble popped, and Riley blinked and laughed.

That cute appearance made everyone laugh collectively.

Ayesha shouted, "Stephen, bring a little tissue, your daughter smeared Lu Ke's face again." ”

Lu Ke didn't mind, "Haven't you heard that those rich people now specialize in making facial masks with saliva, and I heard that it is particularly good for the skin." ”

That serious attitude was so serious that Ayesha and Curry were both stunned, Ayesha cast a gaze at Candace, and then saw Candace laugh happily, "He likes to talk nonsense, don't you know?" JJ has learned to be good now, you have been fooled so many times, and you have been deceived every time. ”

"This shows that JJ is starting to learn badly, and Stephen and Ayesha still maintain their innocence." Lu Ke continued to talk nonsense seriously.

Ayesha glared at Lu Ke speechlessly, but she couldn't help but laugh.

"Oops, my memory." Lu Ke patted his head, and the image of the prank just now was suddenly broken, "I originally came here with Riley's gift today, but I forgot it in the car and was driven back by Vincent." Lu Ke turned his head to look at Watt - why his car was driven back, the two of them knew clearly, and then the more they thought about it, the funnier it became, and they laughed like this.

Ayesha waved her hand and said politely, "God, Riley's toys and reading materials, did you send them less?" She's only how old she is now, and you're going to spoil her later. ”

Lu Ke deliberately wrinkled his nose and grimaced at Riley, "But the problem is, children are meant to be petted, aren't they?" Cute little Riley, don't you say? Isn't it? ”

In fact, during the regular season, Lu Ke's itinerary was full every day, and he was rarely able to come to Curry's house; Similarly, Curry rarely has time to go to Lu Ke's house, and the two families don't visit each other very often. But Ayesha knows that the brotherhood between Lu Ke and Curry is unquestionable.

In the past two years, Lu Ke has really helped Curry a lot, and this season Curry has been able to rise rapidly, and Lu Ke is an important catalyst; After Riley was born, although Lu Ke didn't come to visit often, he mailed gifts every once in a while, and he cared about Riley both inside and out.

Riley and Lu Ke are also very close to each other, and they have only met three times so far, but each time they get along happily, not only are they not afraid of life, but they are also extremely enthusiastic, and they smear Lu Ke's face all over every time.

"Hey! Hey! Attention, attention! The real dad has appeared! Idle people and others all retreat! Curry put down his equipment bag, opened his arms towards Riley, and pounced enthusiastically, but he didn't expect Riley to buy it at all, and he inadvertently fell in the direction of Lu Ke when he dodged.

Curry suddenly turned into a wooden man, standing in place with a sad face, like an abandoned puppy.

Lu Ke also wanted to continue to add fuel to the fire, patted Curry's shoulder, and his face was full of respect. I don't need to say anything, just get the meaning.

Then, Lu Ke didn't pay attention to the grief-stricken Curry, and turned around and made an introduction, "JJ, Ayesha; Ayesha, J. J. This must be the first time you've met, right? ”

"Yes, but we've talked so many times on the phone, and we didn't officially meet until today." Ayesha greeted her in a friendly manner.

Candace also said with a smile, "We were the same before, we should have been on the phone for a while, and then the last time Lu Ke came over, it was our first official meeting." ”

Watt was a little restrained, in the past, in the multi-party computer video conference, everyone had already met each other, but there was never a chance to talk face-to-face, today is the first time; Moreover, tonight's dinner is also improvised-

Originally, Lu Ke and the others were ready to go home, because Curry still needed to prepare for the game the day after tomorrow, which was not suitable for carnival. But Curry proposed a dinner party, because Lu Ke and Watt are going to enter offseason training next, and the Golden State Warriors' journey this season is not over, and when the playoffs are over, the new season volunteer training camp for football may begin, so the party does not know when it will take shape.

It's better to pick up the sun than to hit the sun.

So they stood at Curry's house.

Watt stepped forward and said politely, "I'm sorry, I'm always embarrassed to show up because we've been talking on the phone all the time, disturbing your rest." Then, Watt handed over the red wine in his hand, "I didn't expect it to come to the door today, so I can only prepare a small gift temporarily, I hope you won't mind." ”

"It's okay, just mail the gift back next time." Curry finally came to his senses and said loudly, successfully making Watt relax and laugh along.

Ayesha looked at Curry, who looked like a schoolboy, and couldn't help but shake her head slightly, and then looked at Watt generously, "After Riley finished breastfeeding, I was about to start a glass of red wine every day before going to bed. You know, I've stopped drinking for too long now, and I desperately need a little hope to keep going, your gift is really wonderful. ”

Ayesha is also a lively personality, and a few words made everyone laugh, "Sugar Candy, can you please help me in the kitchen?" The barbecue and stuff are ready, and the barbecue will be handed over to Stephen, but I still need to prepare some salads that I can use to help. ”

"Of course! No problem! Candace said cheerfully, and then walked side by side with Ayesha towards the kitchen, where the two of them were muttering something that no one else could hear, except that they both laughed heartily, wondering if they were speaking ill of them.

"You're busy in the backyard first, I'll make a phone call and I'll be right over." Lu Ke raised his voice and said.

Then Curry muttered, "You can't deliberately delay to avoid labor, right?" ”

Lu Ke said with a smile, "Knowing that this is the case, don't you poke me." Without paying any more attention to Watt and Curry, Lu Ke took out his mobile phone and dialed Lech's number.

"The game is over?" When Lech answered the phone, he joked with a smile in the first sentence.

Lu Ke unexpectedly raised his last note, "How do you know that I went to the Oracle Arena?" ”

"Bambi, if you don't pay attention to social networks anymore, you're really going to be behind the times." Lech still looks like the old god is there.

Twitter? Or a photo wall?

Lu Ke pursed his lips lightly, "I made a special call to you to ask you, Anderson Strathmore, are you familiar with this name?" ”

"Huh. Did he find you? Lech was not surprised at all, it was just a matter of time, "How is it, what is your first impression of him?" ”

"Shrewd, sensitive, alert. But he knows how to calculate too much, and he can hear his abacus crackling when he comes and goes. Faced with Lech, there was nothing to hide, Lu Ke said calmly, "He has the smell of a businessman, and it is very obvious, he looks like a guy who was born on Wall Street but was not able to succeed, and was forced to change jobs." ”

Lech laughed heartily, "God, I think you should be able to be a good journalist." Honestly, what judgment did you make when you first saw me? ”

Lu Ke is still full of proportion, and he will not talk casually recklessly, "My judgment is that he should be able to be my agent." ”

"False. But I'm willing to choose to believe. Lech said crisply, but did not continue to pursue, "Anderson's judgment is basically correct. However, he is not from Wall Street, but from business school, Harvard. It can be regarded as an academic investment and financial manager. I can't say specifically, I can't be an expert. But for the rest, your guess is correct, he's a businessman. ”

Lech had reminded Anderson before that standing in front of Lu Ke, he must be cautious, otherwise he will be embarrassed if he is not careful. Now it seems that Anderson should be in a bad position.

"Well, what do you think of him?" Lech didn't take the initiative to speak for Anderson, the part of the money manager, as an agent, he didn't want to get too involved - the agent makes money for the players, and the money manager manages the wealth for the players, and it is more appropriate to avoid overlapping between them.

Lu Ke didn't answer directly, but asked rhetorically, "What, do you think I need a financial manager?" ”

In the past two years, Lu Ke has not had a financial manager, but he has not encountered any inconvenience or difficulties.

Lech thought about it seriously, and it was, but he said seriously, "If you want to keep your money, then leave your money in your bank account, and that's enough; But if you want to run a business, a good professional financial manager is a must. ”
