Chapter 405 Ma Xiaoxuan: New York is not my home!
"Going back to China?" Wang Xiucheng asked, puzzled. "Didn't you just arrive in the US a few days ago? Why are you going back already?"
Seeing that Wang Xiucheng looked somewhat unhappy, Jin Zhen smiled instead.
He grasped Wang Xiucheng's large hand in return: "The company wants to talk to us about renewing our contracts. Our contracts will expire in a few months."
“I won’t sign,” Wang Xiucheng said domineeringly. “I’ll have Bruno set up a company, and then you’ll all sign.”
Hearing Wang Xiucheng say that, Jin Zhen leaned against him and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
For Wang Xiucheng, this is no longer just about Jin Zhen alone.
And Kim Ji.
There were only four people in total, and Wang Xiucheng was responsible for two of them.
Then the remaining two won't make a difference.
It's better if these four are arranged neatly.
"Let's go downstairs for dinner." Wang Xiucheng checked the time and pulled Jinzhen to her feet.
"I'm not hungry yet." Jinzhen seemed to want to stay here a little longer.
"Aren't you hungry? Isn't the child hungry?" Wang Xiucheng pulled Jinzhen up without saying another word and walked outside.
Jin Zhen gazed adoringly at Wang Xiucheng's retreating figure, smiling happily.
……
3 month 5 day.
The Nets will host the Hornets.
The Hornets, who were aiming to tank, didn't cause the Nets any trouble at the Barclays Center.
In the latter half of the first quarter, the Hornets were already down by more than ten points.
And from that moment on, the Hornets never saw the Nets' taillights again.
Fueled by their home crowd, the Nets scored 36 and 34 points in the first two quarters, respectively.
At the end of the first half, they led the Hornets by as many as 29 points, 70-41.
No one believed the Hornets could come back from a nearly 30-point deficit like the Nets.
However, to be on the safe side, Nash still put Wang Xiucheng and Westbrook in at the beginning of the third quarter.
As for Durant, he was directly "DNP'd" by Nash.
Nash noticed that Durant had become even lazier after Westbrook arrived.
Durant only took 5 shots in the first half of today's game.
Four of the balls were hit.
He barely managed to score 15 points thanks to free throws.
On the contrary, Westbrook seemed to be on steroids, frequently setting screens and making runs to look for opportunities.
Wang Xiucheng is really daring in passing the ball; as long as Westbrook runs into an open space, Wang Xiucheng's ball will arrive immediately.
Westbrook really dares to shoot, whether it's a three-pointer, a long two-pointer, or an alley-oop pass from Wang Xiucheng.
Westbrook's shooting percentage is really high.
Nash himself had some doubts about whether this guy had been faking it before.
I wonder what the Lakers would think if they saw Westbrook now.
Five minutes into the third quarter, Wang Xiucheng was also banned (DNP), leaving Westbrook to lead a group of substitutes on the court alone.
Westbrook can finally play point guard.
After the third quarter, Westbrook was also "DNP".
In the end, the Nets defeated the visiting Hornets 102-86 at home.
Wang Xiucheng played 24 minutes in this game, scoring 18 points and dishing out 8 assists.
Durant played 13 minutes and scored 15 points.
Westbrook played 30 minutes, scoring 22 points, grabbing 9 rebounds, and dishing out 7 assists.
After this game, the Nets' home games will come to an end.
After saying goodbye to everyone in the locker room, Wang Xiucheng took a car and first returned to the villa to pick up his four little burdens. Then, the group drove to the restaurant near the Empire State Building.
The two black SUVs in front stopped first, and four burly Chinese men, all at least 1.8 meters tall, got out. After checking that everything was alright, they went to the car behind and opened the door.
Wang Xiucheng crouched down and got out of the car, then immediately went into the building.
Ten unlicensed cars drove into the underground parking garage one after another. Some people took the stairs, some took the elevator, and some loitered outside the entrance.
The building was quickly inspected.
Wang Xiucheng, along with Wu Di, Wu Jia, and four little burdens, arrived at the restaurant located on the 33rd floor.
Ma Wei and Ma Xiaoxuan were already there, seemingly talking to the manager.
Wang Xiucheng has already bought this restaurant.
It's not just the restaurant, but the entire 33-story property.
Ma Xiaoxuan just finished all the formalities yesterday.
The restaurant is closed today for handover and inventory.
"Sister Xuan, tell the kitchen to prepare the food, I'm starving."
Upon hearing Wang Xiucheng's voice, Ma Xiaoxuan turned around happily, just about to share her thoughts on the restaurant with him.
But when he saw Jin Zhenni and the other three people following behind Wang Xiucheng, his expression immediately turned ugly.
"If you want to eat, go tell the kitchen yourself," Ma Xiaoxuan said irritably.
Ma Wei immediately stepped in to smooth things over, saying as he ran towards the kitchen, "I'll go, I'll go..."
Knowing that the new boss was returning today, the kitchen staff had already been preparing.
As soon as they receive the notification, they can start cooking immediately.
Upon receiving news that the new boss had arrived, everyone immediately got busy, and soon dishes of food were served.
Ma Wei pulled his older sister along and sat down next to Wang Xiucheng.
In his opinion, his older sister should be sitting in this spot.
Jin Zhen and the other three sat opposite Wang Xiucheng.
Wang Xiucheng, who used to need Yang Ying to cut his steak, actually took the initiative to cut the steak today.
He cut a plate of steak and swapped it with the steak in front of Jinzhen.
Jin Zhen lowered his head, blushing, and didn't dare to look at the expressions of Jin Zhi and the others beside him.
Fortunately, Wang Xiucheng did not show favoritism and quickly cut the steaks for the other three people.
Then, Wang Xiucheng looked at Ma Xiaoxuan, who was practically smoking beside him, and cut her steak as well.
When the steak was placed in front of Ma Xiaoxuan, Wang Xiucheng heard her mutter in Mandarin, "Why are you being so attentive?"
Wang Xiucheng pretended not to hear, raised his glass and said, "This restaurant has been bought. If you don't want to eat at home in the future, come here to eat."
Kim Jin and Kim Ji-soo all nodded.
Wang Xiucheng paused for a moment, somewhat embarrassed.
He really wasn't good at speaking in these situations, but given the atmosphere, it wouldn't be good not to say something.
"Have a meal."
There was nothing else Wang Xiucheng could say but that.
Jin Zhen and the others laughed and stopped being polite.
Having known Wang Xiucheng for so long, we're no longer as strangers as we used to be.
Given the relationship between Jinzhen and Jinzhi, everyone quickly started chatting and laughing together.
Dishes from all over the world were served one after another.
For some reason, Ma Xiaoxuan drank glass after glass of red wine.
Her face quickly turned red.
"You should drink less alcohol," Ma Wei advised from the side.
"You dare to tell me what to do now?" Ma Xiaoxuan glared at Ma Wei.
Ma Wei stopped talking.
He was quite afraid of Ma Xiaoxuan when she got angry.
"Sister Xuan, what's wrong? Is something on your mind?" Wang Xiucheng asked at this moment.
"It's none of your business." Ma Xiaoxuan stood up, finished the last of the wine in her glass, and walked out.
She had only taken one step when Ma Xiaoxuan visibly began to veer off course.
Wang Xiucheng gave Ma Wei a look, and Ma Wei immediately grabbed Ma Xiaoxuan's coat and bag and followed.
"Take the things," Wang Xiucheng reminded him.
Mawei immediately picked up a bag of raw steak that had been prepared at the door.
"Don't follow me, I want to go home." While waiting for the elevator, Ma Xiaoxuan reached out and grabbed her coat.
“I’ll have someone drive you back to the Stanway Building,” Ma Wei said, still worried.
“The Steinway Building isn’t my home, and New York isn’t my home either.” Ma Xiaoxuan’s voice choked with emotion. “My home is in Houston.”
