Chapter 74 Home in the Sacred Valley "I can drive you home later, your home should be near Beverly Hills." ”Petunia suggested suddenly, squeezing out a smile.I don't know if the "send Ethan home" in her mouth is simply sending it home, or if it has another meaning.But Ethan shook his head without hesitation and refused, and refused without giving him a chance.Even this last resort was useless, and Penny had no choice but to give up.After the reporter left, Ethan began to change his clothes.Due to his own interview, he was unable to leave by bus with the rest of the team, and Ethan prepared to go straight home.At this time, if Catherine didn't have class, she should be waiting for herself in the motel.Tucking the gear and jersey into his backpack, Ethan, who had changed his clothes, had just walked out of the locker room when he saw an acquaintance.It was Rice, who seemed to be waiting for him on purpose."
You've got to tell me what the hell is going on."
Rice looked incredulous."
What's going on?"
Ethan pretended not to know anything."
My mom, how did my mom get in touch with you!"
Rice almost gritted his teeth, his body trembling a little.Naturally, he also learned about Ethan's and his mother's "rumors" through the "Orange County Observer" Observer newspaper, and in the days when Ethan went to the All-Star Game, he also checked with some Norman players.Someone clarified for Ethan, and some people said conclusively that Ethan must have given his mother to ......
In short, there is everything to say."
You don't really believe those rumors, do you?"
Ethan had a look of disbelief."
I'm in Orlando, and your mom is in ......
Who knows where your mom is. ”Ethan shook his head.Ethan prepares to leave when is stopped by Rice."
Want to fight?"
Ethan was a head taller than Rice, looked at him condescendingly, and pushed him away.Because of the gap in size, Rice gritted his teeth, but still didn't dare to act rashly.I had to watch Ethan leave.Leaving Canoga Park High School, Ethan called Lisa as soon as possible, and it took two consecutive calls to get through."
What's wrong, you miss me so soon?""
I think you need to clarify with your good son......"
Ethan said of what had just happened.It's useless to explain this kind of thing, and Rice's mother has to speak for herself.And Rice is a short-tempered person, who knows if he will suddenly go crazy and give himself an American-style home, and this matter must be solved as soon as possible.Shortly after Ethan left the field, Rice also walked out of the field and headed for the parking lot, when the cell phone in his backpack rang."
How's that going last time?"
The mother's voice came from the other end of the phone, straight to the point, which is very much in line with the image of a mother in Rice's heart."
That thing has been settled."
Rice responded."
Well, I'm busy today, I'll talk about it later."
Lisa gestured to hang up."
Wait a minute!"
Rice immediately thought of something."
Short of money again?
Don't think about it, ask your dad for it. ”Lisa said unceremoniously."
I want to ask......
You ...... with Ethan O'Connor of the team," Rice said in a huff for fear of her mother being angry and not knowing how to speak."
He?
I know him, what's wrong?
”Lisa said."
How......
Know him?
”Rice suddenly chuckled in his heart, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.No matter what I said before, it was someone else's speculation, but this time it was different, this is my mother's own admission."
How else can you know each other?
Through her mother, who is a screenwriter and commissioned me to sell scripts, I had a good relationship with her mother, and we talked more about it, and I wanted to try to get involved in the sports agency business, so I contacted Ethan O'Connor.What does this do, you ask?
”Lisa was puzzled.After a perfect time difference, the matter was seamlessly completed.And Mia's script, "Sports Agency", these are all true.Rice remembered the "testimony" of her teammates, when Lisa did show up with Ethan's mother, and some details were correct.Now I was completely relieved, and I took a long breath, only to find that I had beads of sweat on my forehead.For a moment, he even thought about carrying a gun to Ethan for a change."
Oh, it's okay."
Rice felt extra relaxed."
Why are you asking about him?"
Lisa also asked at this time.News from the Orange County Observer......
Have you seen it?
”Rice had no choice but to answer."
That kind of unscrupulous media rumors are believed by outsiders, and you also believe them?

You're banging again?!
Or is there flour in your head?
Stupid idiot!
”Lisa scolded, even angrier than Rice's catastrophe.In front of Ethan, Lisa showed the greatest gentleness and tolerance, and her temper was very good.lt; divcss=ot; ntentadvot; gt; But for outsiders, Lisa still looks domineering, even her own son is not immune.Rice was scolded for more than a minute, so much so that he couldn't speak in disgrace."
Watch less Sacred Valley tapes in the future!
Save your brain to make up for your own mother. ”Lisa hung up.Rice put down her heavy phone and sat alone in her Acura sports car and laughed.It seems that my mother takes her reputation very seriously, and since it has been decided, she should not mention this matter again in the future.Rice made up her mind and started the car.And when he drove out of the parking lot, Ethan was still walking down the streets of the Sacred Valley.Although the area, known as the "San Fernando Valley," is known all over the world in a special way, it is no different from the main city of Los Angeles in Ethan's vision at the moment.Located at the northwest tip of Los Angeles, it is a flat basin surrounded by mountain peaks on all sides, and the gateway to the outside world is "Burbank", which is home to a large residential area where many people who work in Los Angeles live.In fact, in these private houses, warehouses, and studios, there are 300 dark sects and hundreds of clubs at the peak.So much so that it has become the "Silicon Valley" of Los Angeles and even the whole of the United States, of course, a different kind of silicon.If you want to say the origin of all this, you have to go back to "PLAYBOY", where Hugh Hefner, the old bastard, started here, and in the sixties and seventies it was the location of Playboy magazine's studio."
Why don't you settle here?"
A thought crossed Ethan's mind.The script sold a full 20, and it was time to move out of that cramped motel.What he values is the pleasant environment, convenient transportation, and relatively low prices, so that it is not those who do not have.Just as he was thinking, a windy red NSX pulled up in front of him.The glass of the car came down, and it was Rice."
Big star, do you want to give you a ride?"
Rice twisted her neck and motioned for Ethan to get into the car.It seems that Lisa's actions are very fast, which directly dispells Rice's doubts.Ethan naturally got into the car with peace of mind, what he was afraid of, he was a teammate.The car was even more low-lying than Amy's open-top Porsche.And the space in the car is relatively cramped, Ethan is tall and looks a little awkward.Sitting uncomfortable, do not buy.Rice and Ethan had a casual conversation, but they didn't mention their mother.Rice mentioned the training after that, and asked Ethan about the details of how he had just dealt with some balls......
"Want to learn?"
I can teach you. ”The corners of Ethan's mouth curled into a smile.Ethan returns to the motel, only to find that neither Catherine nor Mia are at home.It was at this time that I also received a call from Murphy."
A total of $101,000, deducting all handling fees, has been remitted to your account."
Murphy informs the tournament of the amount of the "prize money".Before, relying on the 1 start-up capital given by Lisa, through two games, he saved nearly 20,000 US dollars, and after a charity sale, he also got a balance of several thousand US dollars, which increased fivefold, and he got so much money.That's two years of income for a normal American family!
Earn hemp!
There is also Lisa's supplementary card on the plane for daily expenses, and Ethan feels that he has now achieved a very rudimentary "financial freedom".And that's not all.It wasn't long before Ethan received a call from Ellie from Florida."
How did I send you the trophy?""
Let you go first, and when you come to California to play, and when you bring it over.""
In addition, there are a lot of people who want your contact information, they give me a lot of business cards, and they say that you are always welcome to call for advice."
Ellie continued.Ethan, after detailed questioning, realized that these people might be the intermediaries that Pat once said.Behind it are high schools, universities, some sporting goods companies, and some private tournament organizers.Ethan told Ellie to keep the phone calls for a while, and then Ethan called Pat, a new friend at the All-Star Game, to ask in detail about how to deal with the intermediary."
Of course, you have to contact, these people will take the benefits they give, but don't give verbal promises, let alone any written promises, it's better for your family to come forward, the players themselves need to avoid ......"
Pat advised.Ethan hung up the phone, thought about it and called Lisa.It took three more fights to get through, and she does seem to be quite busy today."
I don't have time for your little things."
Lisa responded.In her eyes, these are really "trivial things", after all, what she needs to talk about is the salary of a big star."
How about leaving it to Susan?
She has more than enough to deal with these things, and you can ask her for specific things, and I will tell her. ”Lisa proposed.Lisa couldn't get away for a long time, and it was just right to hand it over to Susan."
That's it."
Ethan nodded.Thanks to Yan 33523, AENB (2 photos), Book Friend 20221015154001526, Book Friend 20170517171453582, Book Friend 150405082313026, Zhang Ming Zhengcong, —0301 (2 photos), Liu Yixuan, GZJ, Leo*Peter, Brother You Feng (2 photos), Golden Coffee Beans, Hundred Birds Chaofeng Gun (2 photos), Seven Steps into Poetry, Di Lin Feng, Brother Chen, Da Jun Jun, The monthly pass given by book friends 160924195427699 and Cui Yaning.After reading it, remember to bookmark it for next time!
