Chapter 574: All-Star Game!
123:122! The Nets unexpectedly won the Golden State Warriors in the end! It's going to be a not-so-short vacation for a while. The first thing Chen had to do was go to his restaurant to see what was going on.
After returning to his residence, Chen received a call from his agent. It's almost over. This surprised him a little. However, on the first day of the holiday, Chen came to the restaurant and found that it was indeed similar to the restaurant that was about to open.
There are almost 30 people working there in the kitchen!
"How much is that?" Chen felt himself tremble a little as he said this.
"Maybe the upfront cost is a little bit bigger. But it feels pretty good. We've now received calls from 6 well-known personalities. They'd love to come over and have you open the business. ”
"I remember it was 2 people who booked it. Now that's 6 people? Chen's eyes began to light up a little as he asked this. It's still good for business in the store! At least it can have some influence!
"Maybe it will be more. Although it's just a restaurant, it's a bit bigger than some of the others. It's also relatively large in our place. The facilities inside are well equipped, and the ordering inside is easy and fast. ”
"Still won't tell me who these people are?" Chen suddenly said with a smile.
"No, you'll know then."
"By the way, are there any players in there? Like other teams, I mean......"
"This one doesn't"
"Wouldn't it? Isn't Jeremy Lin going? My players too? ”
"Haha, look at the two Hollywood celebrities who are in a hurry, and they will follow their friends here. And friends in the music industry. Tell you some from the sports world, Kobe Bryant, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi, Paul, Duncan and Parker, Thomas Jr., LeBron and Wade, ......"
"Wait, is this going to be a party? I didn't print that many vouchers, did I? What should I do about this......
"I'll give 9 points for this joke today~ Hahaha~ Chen, you're so funny, do they need these?"
"yes...... This, now there is only a matter of waiting."
......
The night before the opening, Chen also had some insomnia. It took some time, but it came to pass. And to do these things, first of all, there is the credit of the employees.
And the credit of the employees was because they chose the right agent. Before that, his own performance determined that the Nets management let him stay, and this result made him immediately find an agent.
If there was no such a series of incidents, it is estimated that it would not have been possible to open a restaurant.
"I'm sorry, you can't go in. Today we are here for the first day of the store, what are you wearing...... Why don't you change your clothes?"
"It's written 'Chen', and I have a voucher here, and there are a lot of them. Didn't you say you could go in, and you didn't say what kind of clothes you were going to wear? A man dressed in tatters said to the restaurant staff outside the door with some difficulty.
"Why don't you do it another day, okay, the reporters will be here in a moment today, and many well-known people will also be here."
"What's wrong? Hey, oh hello," Chen stood in front of the old man in brand costume, and immediately shook his hand when he saw it. Suddenly, I felt a greasy feeling in my hand.
"I want to eat the chicken thighs, and also, some delicious I mean...... I haven't eaten for almost two days, your shop gives me hope, I thought I could have a full meal here, I, I'll get a job I ......"
"Come, let's sit down. Then you can be busy arranging it first," Chen was touched by the middle-aged man beside him. His hair felt a little greasy, and his clothes were torn in several places.
"You're not the celebrity she just talked about, it's good to meet him and have a few words with him in her lifetime," said the wanderer, who had just been a little agitated, after sitting quietly for a few seconds.
"Don't you mind if I ask you why you've fallen to this point?"
"My family needed a lot of money for the surgery, and I was a company employee at the time, so the salary was not high, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten to this point. I sold the house and took out most of my savings, but my family left me, my relatives left me when they saw this, and I couldn't concentrate on my work during that time...... Here are my old photos so as not to lose myself ......"
The man took the photo out of his shabby clothes. The photo is dirty, but the middle-aged man with a neat face and a clean and refreshing white shirt in it is still too far behind him. It took Chen a certain amount of time to confirm that the man in this and the man in front of him were the same person.
Just as he was recounting this experience, the man cried excitedly. Chen sat with him on the corner of the street, attracting the people around him from time to time.
"What did you do before?"
"I've been looking for a job, and this is the second most stable job I've ever had. It's mainly some chores, but I didn't expect my life to change a lot again. ”
"Are you alone?"
"No, me and an old brother and I have survived by begging until now. I tried to find a job, but when they saw me like this, I wasn't what I am now. But I still haven't been able to find a job, and it's hard to start begging, and I can't get anything ......."
"I'll take a look at the voucher in your hand......" Chen became much quieter at this time.
"It's useless, if you think I'm not lying, give me something to eat. I don't want money, I'm so hungry...... My old brother, he's in the shelter right now. But it was full, and I couldn't find any other place but ......."
"Needless to say, I'd like to ask a question."
"You say"
"Do you believe me?"
"I don't know if you're an American. But it feels like I trust you."
"Well, I actually have a bit of that idea from you. I trust you too. In this way, it is true that your outfit is not very suitable right now. I have a friend who has been hit hard by the loss of a loved one. How much can I understand a little, is this good, how about we make friends? I will not interfere in your life"
"Good! Good! So what can I do for you? The middle-aged man said with some excitement.
"Look, my friends need to dress decently, don't they? I'll take you to get a haircut. A change of clothes, and ...... Let's change it all. We have promised the exchange voucher in your hand, you can go in, and you can eat whatever you want with the exchange voucher."
......
The middle-aged man cried in front of the barbershop mirror. Chan and the barber talk about what happened to the man.
"In this way, you can choose your own position here. I'll come over in a while, our chat isn't over yet~" Chen was a little uncomfortable in his restaurant.
Sometimes it feels like someone else's restaurant. It was only after seeing Chef Joe that he came back to his senses.
"Okay, just have something to eat."
"I just asked the chef to make some dim sum, and you'll eat it in a minute. And a hot cup of coffee! Use it slowly, it's estimated to be full today, and you're still coming early~"
Although it looked a little awkward, he still felt that the clothes on his body were at least not as shabby as they were just now.
"You read that right, this is the guy just now. In the future, I think that our restaurant can accept some homeless, I'll think about this again," Chen exchanged a few words with the restaurant staff just now, and immediately saw the media and several well-known people from the media walking into the restaurant.
One is also doing a live broadcast while walking. Chen barely sat down a few times throughout the day, and the middle-aged man had stabilized a lot after eating some elaborate desserts and coffee. But he's still controlling himself not to cry here.
Many people who took the vouchers came to this restaurant to eat and take pictures. From time to time, NBA players and some celebrities come to the store. Now this restaurant is really like a party, and it is very lively!
"Hey, the ...... over there Hey~ Come here?! Oh oh, no need okay. Haha, you can eat the ingredients we have here today...... I said, you found a few well-known food self-media over there, right? ”
Chen asked the agent next to him as he greeted the person on the other end.
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Why didn't I think of that?! Okay, how did you find them? ”
"There is no exchange coupon for free dining today~ It's delicious and take photos and post it on Twitter, it's not delicious to give opinions"
“...... And I was exempted from the order. Okay, this is good~"
The restaurant was supposed to close at 8 p.m. that day. In the end, it drove to more than 23 o'clock. Because of the arrival of some celebrities, as well as Wade, Kobe Bryant and Little Emperor at the same table, the surrounding traffic was also congested...... The local police also came to evacuate the traffic here......
It's time for the All-Star Game to compete between East and West! The main players in the East this year are Embiid, Butler, LeBron, Thomas Jr. and Jeremy Lin! Chen later learned that he was mistaken, that Griffin was on the bench, and that Jeremy Lin was in the Eastern Conference All-Star starting lineup this year.
Many people in Chen and the restaurant watched the live broadcast of this game! This year in the West is Durant, Davis, Leonard, Westbrook, Curry! What's more interesting is that there are two players from the same team in the starting line-up of the East and West!
Thomas Jr. and James in the East, Durant and Curry in the West!
The game began to officially start after a certain amount of time. The reason Chen didn't go to the scene wasn't because the restaurant needed his care. But if you don't have an invitation, you can buy your own tickets...... And now the restaurant is actually losing money every day, and there are a lot of chefs and various staff employed here......
Embiid took the lead and passed the ball to Lin. The audience immediately began to cheer. As Thomas Jr. was about to catch the ball, he suddenly laughed.
Jemilin didn't care about his teammates, but immediately jumped up and hit a hollow three-pointer! Both sides at this point are now relaxed. The defensive intensity is almost non-existent. The conjecture of who will win the game in the east and west this year has become a lot more interesting~
Because there are quite a few changes in the starting line-up of both teams. The Eastern supporters believe that Jeremy Lin will have a larger percentage of time in this year's game. So the organisational aspect of the team will be a little bit smoother.
Thomas Jr. is also a very sharp attacking player! Curry held the ball and faced Jeremy Lin, who were teammates when the two men were on the court for the first time. After many years, both of them have changed a lot.
Curry brought the Golden State Warriors to the championship team position! Jeremy Lin's sudden outburst has become a leader in Brooklyn after many years! In comparison, Lin's path was more tortuous.
After Wei Shao got the ball, he immediately jumped high and scored points in a tomahawk style! 3:2! At this time, the scene erupted in fierce cheers! Westbrook jumped off without any expression as if he had a conflict with someone, and quickly went back to defense.
Both teams looked quite calm. But from now on, it's a bit of a real fight! After Butler's three-point shot was gone, Embiid shot a three-pointer directly after getting the basket! Took the basketball three out of bounds......
After watching the referee blow the whistle, Embiid immediately started jumping after standing still for 5 seconds! This and the somewhat dull game just now immediately brought joy to the scene!
"The reason I didn't score just now was that I didn't dance! ~" Seeing the big man dancing there awkwardly, LeBron immediately laughed. The nervousness that had just been a little relaxed was also relaxed.
At Embiid's instigation, LeBron and Thomas Jr. joined in! Jeremy Lin ran over with a smile. He doesn't have to dance, the hairspray on his head earns a lot of eyeballs~ The camera was given to O'Neill's body, and O'Neill just laughed twice. The fans at the scene also laughed immediately when they saw it.
In today's league, if you want to say that whoever is closer to O'Neal in terms of funniness belongs to the 76ers' Twitter guru Embiid~ injured and unable to play, and his personal popularity is still in a relatively high state~
After Durant received the basketball, the two of them immediately jumped up when they saw Embiid coming. Such a sudden action amused the referee~
After Leonard picked up the basketball, he immediately passed it back, and Du Shao directly took the basketball and hit a difficult three-point shot in front of Embiid!! 5:3!
"What am I talking about?! Dance before you shoot a three-pointer! Embiid immediately explained to himself~
Lin carries the ball to the frontcourt. After Thomas Jr. took the basketball, he went directly past the opponent in front of Wei Shao and went to the basket to score points! Wei Shao was still a little surprised when he saw this action. With such a speed, if you defend carefully, you may not be able to prevent him!
Kawaii took over the basketball and hit a jumper after passing James and Butler alone. 8:5! There was no expression in the whole process and silently went back to defend.
"How did he look like that. "Butler said to the little emperor who was smiling and talking to little Thomas.
"You don't know Leonard, he's already laughing~"
"I'm going to practice again. I didn't see it~"
"Look! He came over with a smile! ”
"Haha!" Everyone laughed as soon as LeBron finished speaking.
