American TV Series: Starting with Sheldon’s Wool Collection

Time flies and it’s Monday again.

"Isn't Mike up again?" Grandma Connie, who had prepared breakfast sandwiches, asked Peggy, who was sitting obediently at the dining table.

"No, maybe I was too tired from the past two days~" A trace of resentment appeared on Peggy's cute little face.

During the two days of the weekend, Mike accompanied Katie and Lina on their spring outing, so naturally he neglected the little girl.

Moreover, Peggy also knew very well what the three Mikes had done in those two days.

"Okay~" Grandma Connie also knew Mike's private life very well. She shrugged and said, "You go ask him to come out for breakfast. I'll go read today's newspaper and see if anything interesting happens."

Because the Internet is not developed enough, the most convenient way for people to receive information nowadays is newspapers.

Every morning there will be a newsboy delivering the new issue of the newspaper to every household's mailbox.

When Grandma Connie took back a stack of rolled newspapers from the door, Mike was also called by the little girl to get ready to wash up.

"Mike, I have to remind you that you are still young and need to know how to exercise moderation..." Grandma Connie persuaded Mike while unfolding the newspaper.

As someone who has experienced it, she knows that young people who consume too much energy can be very harmful to their health.

"What?" Mike, who had just put toothpaste on his toothbrush, almost suspected that he was hallucinating.

However, he soon realized that Grandma Connie was caring about him.

Knowing that the other party must have misunderstood something, Mike then explained helplessly: "There is nothing wrong with my health, I just slept in."

Because there were two women in the house, Mike couldn't explain it too explicitly.

In fact, with his current physique, it would be no problem even if he drives all day long, and there is no lack of energy at all.

The reason why he couldn't get up in the morning was entirely because he had the habit of sleeping in and had to sleep until he woke up naturally every day.

But seeing the distrustful looks in Grandma Connie's and Peggy's eyes, Mike felt that he should change his habit of sleeping in in the future.

Grandma Connie indeed misunderstood again. She thought Mike was being harsh. After all, boys love saving face and will definitely not admit that they are not good enough.

Just when she was about to persuade Mike a few more words, her eyes were suddenly attracted by the newspaper in her hand.

"Oh, Mike, you're on the front page, and it's a color page~" Grandma Connie exclaimed, even forgetting what she wanted to say before.

Today's newspaper headline uses a large color page to print Mike's photo.

In the picture, Mike is wearing an olive uniform. Under the sunlight, he looks handsome and has a wild charm.

That was the photo Mike took just after the game.

"Really? I didn't expect Jack to be so fast..." Mike, who was brushing his teeth, said vaguely.

Of course he remembered what reporter Jack said before, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually do it and it would be so efficient.

""Texas: Rising Football Star"..." Peggy also curiously came to the newspaper and read the front page title.

Mike quickly finished brushing his teeth, came to the dining table, and gathered in front of the newspaper with Grandma Connie and Peggy.

"This layout is really bad..." Mike couldn't help complaining as his photo took up more than half of the front page.

If it weren't for the relevant explanation in small print below, Mike would have doubted whether the newspaper was deliberately selling his beautiful photos for money.

"This is playing rugby. The photos are really good~" Grandma Connie was attracted by the photos and asked with interest: "Mike, when is your next game? I can go to the scene to support you..."

"It's Saturday morning, but I don't know if the home stadium is still in Melford or not." Mike answered.

As far as he knows, the opponent for this week's invitational tournament has not yet been determined, so it is hard to say where the home court will be.

"It doesn't matter. You will notify me when the competition venue is confirmed." Grandma Connie was obviously aroused by the photo and was interested in going to watch the competition live.

Sunshine...exercise...plus sportsmanship...

I can only say that the photos are too confusing.

At this moment, Mike's phone rang.

"Who called so early..."

After answering the phone, Mike asked: "Who are you looking for?"

"It's me, Jack..." Jack's slightly excited voice came from the phone: "Have you seen today's newspaper? Our plan is about to succeed..."

what's the plan? A star-making plan?

Before Mike could ask his doubts, Jack on the other end of the phone continued: "You don't know how much effort I put into getting the front page of this issue. By the way, I have good news for you. If If the sales of this issue of the newspaper are good, there will be many front pages waiting for you. Think about it, it is a series of colorful headlines..."

Well, it seems that the newspaper does have plans to create stars.

And Jack, who is about to promote this plan, is now so excited that he is a little incoherent.

But this is understandable. After all, if the star-making plan succeeds, Jack, the initiator, will definitely get a lot of credit from it.

"Wait a minute, Jack." Mike interrupted and asked, "I want to know, are you going to pay me for my portrait?"

"This..." Jack was stopped by Mike's question and was silent for a while before asking: "Are you serious?"

We are obviously discussing business, but you ask me if my eyes are dry?

You know, no news figure has ever raised the issue of money with the newspaper before.

"I'm serious~" Mike replied.

Such a large photo is obviously not news in the ordinary sense.

It is necessary for Mike to protect his image rights.

"Okay, your situation is a bit special, I will respond to the above. But don't have too much hope..." Jack doesn't need to pay, so he naturally doesn't want to offend Mike.

From a personal point of view, Jack actually hopes to see a domineering newspaper company take some action.

"That's it for now, I'll contact you if anything happens." Mike, who was in a hurry in the morning, immediately hung up the phone.

"Well done, Mike. Those capitalists should be allowed to bleed..." Grandma Connie, who heard the contents of the negotiation, supported Mike without thinking it was a big deal.

You know, as today's information giant, newspapers are not short of money.

"Okay, hurry up and have breakfast. You're going to be late~" After the interlude, Grandma Connie looked at the time and urged Mike and the others.

Of course, the main reason was Mike who woke up late.

"Okay, okay, I'll leave now..." Mike, who was stared at by Grandma Connie, drank the milk in the cup in one gulp, picked up the sandwich in front of him and stood up: "Peggy, are you okay? time to go."

Peggy, who had been prepared for a long time, picked up the small pink schoolbag beside her and walked out first in anger.

Seeing the big one and the small one leaving in a hurry, Grandma Connie in the back smiled and shook her head.

…

When Mike and the two rushed to the school gate, they just heard the bell ringing for class.

"Can't you get up earlier in the morning?" Peggy, a little girl who was still a little resentful towards Mike, used the excuse to make some excuses when she saw he was late.

"It's not my fault, it was all delayed by that phone call... Jack needs to be responsible for our lateness..." Mike wittily put the blame away.

Of course, there was one more thing he didn't mention. If the little girl's short legs could run faster on the road, the two of them wouldn't be late at all.

"Forget it, I forgive you." Peggy, who was not really angry in the first place, stopped messing around after venting her anger.

Immediately, the two entered the campus following the ringing of the bell.

In fact, these two people with high IQs didn't really care about being late for class.

After all, they have already studied the high school courses on their own.

Later, when Mike made a report and entered the classroom, he found that the atmosphere in the class was strange. Many students were staring at him.

Rugby… photos… front page…

Immediately, from the students' quiet discussion, Mike understood why everyone was so abnormal.

Obviously, this is the power of the colorful headlines in today’s newspapers.
