The Way of the Center

When An Jie got off the plane, it was already 5:30 in the morning, and he was surprised to find that Moslav had already been waiting for him at Kennedy International Airport.

"Come here? What's the matter?" Meslav knew that An Jie was in a hurry, so the two talked while walking.

"Catherine, I was bullied by a photographer in the company. The photographer's name is Eddie Brown. Do you have any complaints about him?" An Jie was not polite to his manager either. He gave up the game and came to New York just to clear things up. fixed.

"I'll make a few calls to ask." Although Moslav is not from the fashion circle, he has many friends in the fashion circle.

Ignoring everyone's astonished gazes, An Jie and Moslav walked out of the airport, took a taxi, and headed for Catherine's apartment.

"I'm married, and I have two children. Is this a tell?" This was the only thing about Eddie Brown that Moslav found.

"Damn it!" Hearing that a married man was still doing such dirty things, An Jie really wanted to meet this Eddie Brown as soon as possible and see what kind of guy he was.

"Dong dong dong!" The rapid knock on the door startled Catherine, who hadn't slept all night, and she looked outside through the cat's eyes. Thankfully, Anjie finally arrived.

As soon as the door was opened, Catherine threw herself into An Jie's arms. An Jie also hugged his beloved woman tightly, and he had to pay such a price for living apart from each other.

"Do you want to inform Eddie Brown's wife to come to New York?" Moslav was very reluctant to disturb the reunion between the two young lovers, but solving the problem is the top priority now.

"Can you make contact?"

"Don't forget who I am, Ann, and where Catherine's agent comes from. I'm Meslav, don't worry." After speaking, the bearded manager fiddled with the phone again. A friend and manager of a humanitarian adviser to the Republic of Serbia, Meslav's background is big enough if you think about it this way.

...................................

At eight o'clock in the morning, just after img started working, Eddie Brown knocked on the door of the general manager's office.

"Oh, God, what happened to Eddie?" Seeing the company's meritorious veteran enter the office with scars, the general manager stood up with a serious expression.

"That Catherine, I advise you not to use her again!" The villain Brown complained first, intending to tell the general manager all the stories he made up.

"She tempted me and told me to give her convenience in the company, so that her career would be promoted! I refused! But that girl actually used violence against me! If it weren't for me not being willing to attack women... ...Hey!" Brown's acting skills were definitely not developed overnight. I don't know how many girls are bad under his acting skills.

"You bastard! You still have the face to come here!" As soon as Eddie Brown finished speaking, Moslav, An Jie and Catherine also came to the door of the general manager's office of img's New York branch. And when An Jie saw Eddie Brown, he yelled at him.

The general manager was completely taken aback. Why does this guy who has to bend over to get in look so familiar?

"Ann, wait!" Moslav knew what An Jie wanted to do, and he immediately grabbed An Jie's arm. But a professional basketball player, An Jie who is still playing the center position, how could an ordinary person be able to hold him back.

Swinging off Muslav's arm, Anjie stepped in front of Brown in a few strides. Without saying a word, he raised his fist and threw it at the face of the bespectacled beast.

"Hey! Sir, please calm down! Security guard, security guard!" The general manager was taken aback by the sudden violence, and Eddie Brown was punched again just after being beaten.

The glasses had broken in two, and two of Eddie Brown's teeth had fallen to the floor tiles. His nosebleeds couldn't stop flowing, and Brown was beaten beyond recognition by An Jie.

Three burly security guys rushed into the office to separate the two, and Brown was left alone because he struggled to even stand up.

Without exception, the three security guards all blocked An Jie, so as not to make another hurtful move by this tall guy.

Although An Jie had already been controlled by three security guards, just seeing An Jie's beast-like expression made Eddie Brown feel scared.

"You're done kid! I'm going to sue you! I'm going to send you to the police station to accept legal sanctions!" Eddie Brown was terrified, but he didn't show any mercy.

"Gentlemen, I have called the police. From now on, no one is allowed to leave the scene!" The general manager is still on Eddie Brown's side. After all, this good old man still doesn't know the ins and outs of the matter. His meritorious employee was beaten, of course he had to provide shelter.

"Where is he!? Hurry up!" Moslav anxiously made a call.

"Downstairs, come right away!"

A minute later, several people knocked on the office door again. Everyone thought that the police had arrived, but when the door opened, Eddie Brown was startled.

"Marilyn! You...why are you here!?" It was none other than Eddie Brown's wife.

"Oh! My dear, what's wrong with you, who hit you so hard!" Marilyn saw her husband sitting on the ground in a panic, and immediately rushed over to hug him.

"What's going on here? Who is this lady?" The general manager's head was completely blown, what happened today.

"This is Mr. Eddie Brown's wife, Ms. Marilyn. I know you will be surprised, because the only person in this company who knows that Mr. Eddie is married may be me!" At this moment, Moslav stood up. If An Jie hadn't been impulsive, this matter could have been perfectly resolved.

"Wife? Didn't you say you've never been married, Eddie? You better give me an explanation!" At this moment, Eddie Brown's reputation was greatly compromised in the heart of the general manager.

Eddie Brown was at a loss for words. If you want others to know, you must do nothing yourself.

"Mr. Eddie is not only married, but also likes to have unreasonable thoughts on young new models. Miss Catherine is another victim. He forced Miss Catherine to have a relationship with him and promised to help Miss Catherine in the company. The journey is smooth. Think about it carefully, Mr. General Manager, aren’t the people Eddie recommended to you before all new young models, and are they people who have worked with him for a short time?”

"You're talking nonsense!" Eddie Brown was dying.

"Miss Catherine rejected Mr. Eddie's proposal, so she was slandered. How can a person who is not even married have any credibility? Don't you think so, Mr. General Manager?" Moslav looked confidently Embarrassed Brown, you really messed with the wrong person this time!

"Is that so!?" The general manager became disgusted when he saw Eddie Brown's eyes.

"No wonder you never let me and the children appear in front of your colleagues and friends, saying that it was to protect our family from being disturbed by reporters. It turns out..." Marilyn combined with Moslav's words and discovered Something is not right in Eddie's life.

"Did you call the police?" Until now, the real New York police officers were late.

There were wounded and blood stains on the ground, and there were obvious signs of a fight. The officers tensed up, and one even put his hand on his sidearm.

"Gentlemen who are fine, it's all a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding." The general manager hurried to dismiss the police. Once this kind of thing gets out, the reputation of img company will be greatly affected. But one of the police officers secretly took pictures of this scene with his mobile phone. He doesn't know this group of people in the fashion industry, he only knows that the tall Asian guy is an NBA star!

"Is it really okay?"

"No problem, it's all a misunderstanding, we can solve it ourselves. Susan, send the police officers down!" Seeing that the caller took the initiative to see off the guests, the leading police officer did not stay for further investigation.

"Aren't you going to explain Eddie?" I have to admit that Eddie Brown has made a great contribution to the company. The general manager is still comforting himself. He hopes that the two men who came out of nowhere are just nonsense.

"I never did those things at all, how could I do that dirty deal!"

"But your wife, and those people you recommended..." The general manager found that Eddie himself couldn't justify himself.

"I..." Eddie sat on the ground in despair, it's over, his career is over.

The general manager shook his head and walked up to Catherine.

"I'm sorry, Miss Catherine, it's the company's negligence to cause you this kind of harm. Mr. An, Mr. Eddie's medical expenses..."

"I'll pay everything, and send me the bill!" An Jie replied viciously. If the security hadn't stopped him, he would have gone up and beaten Eddie Brown to death.

"Then Eddie, please leave." The general manager didn't have sympathy for this meritorious employee who was beaten all over the floor. What he did has completely ruined his contribution.

"What... what?" Brown looked at the general manager in disbelief.

"Please leave, Mr. Eddie, you have been fired. We will tell the public that you are retiring due to health reasons. Please go back and treat your wife and children well." The general manager is still deciding to save some face for Eddie Brown.

With the help of his wife, Brown walked out of the office in despair. When he passed An Jie and Catherine, he looked at them maliciously. Revenge, he must take revenge!

"What time is it?" An Jie asked Moslav suddenly.

"Ten o'clock, what's the matter?"

"It's not too late, I still have time to go to Denver to participate in the competition." An Jie became flustered, too many things happened today.

"Okay, Jeff will understand. Today, you can accompany Catherine well, she needs you more now." Moslav held An Jie's wrist tightly, and An Jie gradually calmed down.

"Yes... yes..., that's right, let's go, Catherine, we're going back."

"Take a good rest for a few days, Miss Catherine, don't worry about your career, the company will give you absolutely fair treatment." The general manager also gave Catherine a shot in the arm. He knows that Catherine is very popular, and img has no reason to give up. A future super popular model.

Far away in Denver, without An Jie's protection, the absent-minded Thunder finally lost.

"An Jie is not on the Thunder team's roster for this game. The Thunder official only said that An Jie was absent due to a personal matter. No one knows what happened." An Jie's whereabouts have also become a hot spot of media speculation.

Durant made 5 of 14 shots and scored only 19 points. Westbrook made 3 of 11 shots and scored only 11 points. Although Morris and Ibaka scored 19 and 14 points respectively, as insiders, their shooting percentage obviously did not reach the passing line.

90 to 119, lacking Anjie and in poor form, the Thunder finally lost in Denver. After An Jie saw the score, he also blamed himself very much. The teammates are not in good condition, more or less affected by his sudden departure.

"I'm sorry guys, I promise, I will try my best to make up for it in the next game." After the live broadcast ended, An Jie, who was talking to himself, looked at the girl in his arms. Catherine fell asleep on Anjie's chest, looking so peaceful. She, who didn't sleep last night, could finally have a solid sleep under the protection of An Jie.

Finally, a troublesome matter has been resolved, and now An Jie is thinking about what he should do to make up for the bad influence caused by his absence from the game.

What else can I do? There is no other way but to win and perform well. The Thunder's next opponent might become a victim for An Jie to prove himself.

...................................

At night, in an ordinary private house in Queens, New York, a middle-aged man dialed a number he found on the Internet.

The man had just come off duty and was still wearing his uniform, which said "nypd" and, of course, a police badge.

A misreporting case during the day, although he wasted a lot of time, it can't be said that he got nothing. For example, why did the Thunder starting center appear in New York? Why did that stubble-faced man sit on the ground in embarrassment. All of this seems to be more than a simple "misunderstanding".

"Hello, are you a reporter from the New York sports page? Yes, I have a few photos here, I think you will be very interested. As long as the price is right, they are all yours." The police officer is very confident in his harvest, this extra money , he earned it! (To be continued.)
