Leaving by plane from Washington, Li Liang arrived in Los Angeles in the early morning of May 21.

In the four years since he came to the United States, Li Liang has also been to many places in the United States during the holidays, but this is his first visit to the West Coast.

After leaving the airport, Li Liang hailed a taxi and went to the address that Wei Dazhi had sent him—a hotel in Inglewood.

Los Angeles Airport is in the Inglewood area, and Li Liang soon arrived at the hotel.

It was past one o'clock in the morning, and Wei Dazhi said in the message that he had left a room card at the front desk.

When you arrive, just use your ID card to get the room card.

Li Liang was carrying his luggage, so he didn't sleep well last night, and had a headache from doing tasks.

He was woken up by Jones in the morning, went to the White House to participate in activities in the morning, and ran on the road in the afternoon. By this point, he was already very tired.

After taking the key at the front desk, Li Liang took the elevator upstairs and opened the door, it was dark.

Li Liang didn't bother to turn on the light, he was afraid of affecting Wei Dazhi's rest, and he didn't plan to take a bath either, he would do it tomorrow.

Putting the luggage away, taking off his shoes and jacket, Li Liang went to bed like this.

All of a sudden he fell on the bed, Li Liang's eyelids sank, and an unstoppable drowsiness flooded his head.

But while he was half asleep and half awake, Li Liang felt something was wrong. Why did this room seem to be a big bed room?

Not a standard room.

Li Liang's mind became clearer, and he stretched out his hand to touch the side, and there was indeed someone.

But why doesn't it feel like Wei Dazhi...

Li Liang sat up from the bed, turned on the light with a "snap", and found that the person lying next to him was not Wei Dazhi!

It's a woman!

She was lying on her side, wearing only a light yellow pajamas.

Looking at his face again, it was Zhu Shu!

The sudden flash of light woke Zhu Shu up.

She rubbed her eyes and saw Li Liang sitting beside the bed.

Zhu Shu was about to cry out, Li Liang stepped forward and covered her, and said, "It's me, Li Liang! Don't scream, misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

Li Liang didn't want to disturb the surrounding tenants or hotel staff.

People in the United States like to call the police at every turn, and the police are still nosy.

When the police arrived, not only would they not be able to sleep well, they might even get into the police station.

Seeing that it was Li Liang, Zhu Shu relaxed, but when she realized what she was wearing, her face turned red.

Li Liang hurriedly pulled up the blanket and covered it with Zhu Shu, Li Liang suddenly felt his Qi and blood flow smoothly.

Li Liang moved his hand away, under the warm yellow light, Zhu Shu's face shone like a piece of exquisite porcelain.

Li Liang swallowed, and said, "Well, it's all Wei Dazhi's fault. He left me the room number and asked me to get the key at the front desk."

Zhu Shu flicked her hair lightly. Her hair has been getting longer and longer, almost reaching her neck.

"You...you put on your clothes first."

Only then did Li Liang realize that he put on one.

...

Embarrassed, Li Liang turned around quickly, put on his clothes, and took two deep breaths to calm himself down.

Feeling almost done, Li Liang asked, "Where's Wei Dazhi? Where is this kid?"

Zhu Shu said: "He lives next door, but he doesn't seem to be here tonight. He said he has an appointment and won't come back tonight."

"Fuck, this kid still has a date? Then I'll sleep next door... No, I don't have the room card next door."

I don't know if Wei Dazhi did it on purpose, or if he accidentally gave the wrong room card.

Damn me, am I, Gan Liliang, the kind of person who takes advantage of others?

Of course Li Liang has a good impression of Zhu Shu in his heart, but Li Liang is actually very conservative in matters of relationship.

He feels that if there is no way to give the other party a promise and a future, then don't take that step easily.

Especially for a girl like Zhu Shu who obviously has no emotional experience, the guilt of touching her is too strong.

"Well, why don't you just sleep here, it's fine." Zhu Shu whispered.

"Okay, I'll sleep on the floor." Li Liang took out some clothes from the suitcase and used them as quilts, and lay directly on the carpet.

But he was too tall, the room was not big, and it was obviously uncomfortable to lie on the ground.

Zhu Shu said: "It's okay, you can sleep on the bed, half of each person. It's not easy to sleep on the ground, and you will have a trial training in a few days. If you catch a cold and get sick, it will be bad."

It made sense to say so, Li Liang had no choice but to get up from the ground and said: "Then I'm sleeping on the bed, you are not allowed to touch me, this is wrong."

Zhu Shu couldn't laugh or cry, but she knew that Li Liang was joking, and said, "Well, I understand, don't worry."

Li Liang grinned and lay down on the bed, Zhu Shu moved to the side to make room for him.

Li Liang was so tired that he wanted to sleep, but he couldn't sleep because of this.

As soon as the light was turned off, Li Liang could hear Zhu Shu's slight breathing beside him, as well as a faint fragrance.

It's over, I can't sleep anymore.

After a while, Li Liang asked, "Hey, are you asleep?"

"No, what about you?"

"I didn't fall asleep either."

The two were talking nonsense.

"Hey, how's it like in Los Angeles, have you heard about the work situation?"

Since he couldn't sleep, Li Liang happened to chat with Zhu Shu about work.

"I also just arrived today. I met that Ryan West in the afternoon and chatted with him. He was surprised to know that I was your agent."

"It's inevitable, you are so young, you are still a girl."

"Well, but when I saw him, I deliberately wore a more mature set of clothes. He probably didn't see my age."

"You are pretty good at packing, so tell me about your next work arrangement?"

Li Liang was just asking casually, Zhu Shu had only been in Los Angeles for a day, and she pretended to meet West, what could she know.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Shu pondered for a while, and said: "I have a general understanding of the job content of an agent. In fact, it is an intermediary plus customer service. On the one hand, it is a good communication bridge between the team and players. The main thing is to negotiate. The contract, finalizing the details, and deciding the ownership of the players. Another aspect is to take care of the players' daily life, which is equivalent to half a life assistant."

As soon as Li Liang heard it, Zhu Shu was able to tell the truth, and said, "Well, what else?"

"Also, the work of an agent is actually more important than academic qualifications and qualifications. For example, I am friends with you, and you are willing to let me be an agent, then no other agent can compete with me no matter how famous the name is. Therefore, Some players’ agents are their relatives and friends. If the player is a big player, in addition to negotiating the contract, he also needs to negotiate business cooperation with the player. Advertising, endorsement, TV programs. If it’s just an ordinary player, the main thing is to worry about his next job .”

Zhu Shu understood it very well. Li Liang asked, "Then what kind of player am I now?"

"You? You... you don't even count as a player now, you will be considered a player when you play for a professional team."

Li Liang thinks what Zhu Shu said is right, if you don't enter the NBA, you won't get a contract, so it's useless to say anything.

The two chatted for a while, and in just a day or two, Zhu Shu had a superficial understanding of the brokerage industry.

As for the deeper things, she can't and doesn't need to understand for the time being, because she only serves Li Liang.

It's like the lawyer Tom in the movie "The Godfather" who only works for the family.

He doesn't need to know how other lawyers work and how they get along. He just needs to serve the Corleone family well.

After some conversation, Li Liang believed that his judgment was not wrong.

A girl with such a clear and calm thinking about playing Warcraft is not overqualified for a job that can be done with a junior high school education like an agent.

She was right, a broker is a profession that relies on relationships.

It doesn't matter, you are a pig next to the star, and you can also become an expert in the circle.

Without interpersonal relationships, in a small sports circle like the NBA, no number of diplomas are useful.

While chatting, Li Liang gradually became sleepy, but Zhu Shu became clearer as she talked.

When she heard Li Liang's slight snoring, she gently put the quilt on Li Liang's body.

Then he lay down, leaned towards Li Liang, and fell asleep.
