9. Francis’ hostility(1/2)
Bang bang...
"Ace, Ace, get up, come and have breakfast quickly, there is a game tonight..."
The knock on the door was accompanied by a gentle call...
Liu Mang woke up instantly when he heard this voice.
Are you going to collect rent again?
Wait, why is this voice so gentle today?
Liu Mang looked at himself and found that he had indeed grown a lot. He couldn't go back to his original world just by sleeping.
I was well dressed. I was so excited last night that I fell asleep right away.
Very reasonable.
Liu Mang tidied his clothes and walked out of the room to the small living room.
Liu Mang rents an apartment building less than three kilometers away from Atlanta's Phillips Arena. The area is small, more than 40 square meters, with a living room, a room, a bathroom, a kitchen and a balcony.
Liu Mang came out and opened the door. It was his landlord.
"Oh, Levia, I just paid the rent two days ago! The money is still borrowed! The rent won't be raised at this time! It was agreed that it will only be raised after I pay my salary." Although Liu Mang said it very clearly.
Fast, but not confident.
When he came to the United States to attend college, Liu Mang rented here. The rent was not expensive at that time. The landlady Levia Savitia saw that he was a student, so the rent he asked for was not much, 300 US dollars a month.
Other tenants have less than half.
However, the rent was extremely tight. Originally, Liu Mang's family was not very wealthy, so they could only provide him with tuition fees and living expenses through work-study. Sometimes, the monthly rent of 300 yuan was not even enough.
As for living on campus... The fees for international students to live on campus are extremely expensive. In fact, not many students who study in the United States live on campus. Not to mention the racial discrimination you may encounter when living on campus. The Georgia Institute of Technology where Liu Mang works is just
The annual living fee of US$5,000 is not something that ordinary international students can afford.
Most international students rent an apartment for about US$200 a month, and the annual payment is US$1,500 to US$2,500. The apartment Liu Mang rents is quite luxurious. Sometimes it is luxurious.
All his classmates thought he was a rich man. The annual rent for an apartment above the second floor is normally as high as 10,000 U.S. dollars a year. Liu Mang only made 3,600 U.S. dollars a year, which was a huge bargain.
But after renting it for less than half a year, Liu Mang wanted to live in a single room like those of his classmates.
I don't want anything else, I just want to live cheaply. Most couples in this apartment live together, and it seems like he is the only single person who has a suite.
But there is one thing. Compared with other tenants, the rent is really too cheap, and it has been taking advantage of it for two years...
The beautiful woman now looked hurt: "Oh, Ace, in your eyes, am I just a woman who only cares about money?"
"...If you don't press the rent on time on the 30th of every month, and you don't see me being selected for the NBA, the rent will be raised. I probably won't think so." Liu Mang said speechlessly, "Not to press the rent? Then Levia, you
Why did you wake me up so early in the morning?"
He couldn't understand! Why did this wealthy woman who owned a seven-story apartment and rented out more than 20 suites pay the same rent every month as a renter? Or was it the woman who became a renter, even a beautiful woman, who was like this?
Urinary?
"In the future, Ace, you will be a big star. Will you still care about this rent? You must pay it once and it will last for a year. Then you will buy a villa by yourself and you will not ask me to refund the money. You think so!"
Liu Mang looked at the beautiful landlady who still showed a wealth-obsessed look and expressed his helplessness.
"Okay, okay, come on Ace, my sister made breakfast for you today."
Liu Mang said he was not used to the beautiful landlady being so attentive.
These days, people in the American Empire are just as depraved! When he was in the second round, the landlord almost kicked him out without raising the rent. Then, the contract he signed was guaranteed in the first year, so he stayed again.
, and then played a good game and scored 10 points in his debut. He seemed to be a little famous and became so close to him in an instant.
Liu Mang followed the beautiful landlord to the top floor of the apartment. He lived on the sixth floor. The other suites on the sixth floor were empty and not rented out. They were all used by the beautiful landlord to store things. The five floors below were rented out.
, the apartment is directly on the street. There is no so-called community here in the United States, it is all streets, or it is a villa area. Apartment buildings generally occupy a relatively large area and are at the end of the street.
The seventh floor is equivalent to a very large suite, and almost the entire building is open for the beautiful landlady and her family to live in.
Liu Mang has come here many times in the past two years, mainly to pay rent and have a good sleep. Those memories are almost integrated, as if they are things he has done. Liu Mang is quite familiar with this place.
It is said that the beautiful landlady is a family, but it seems that there are only two people, her and her daughter.
"Wow, Uncle Ace, Dinah thinks Uncle Ace has become more handsome today!" A little blonde girl, like a mini version of the beautiful landlady, rushed over and grabbed Liu Mang's thigh, "I used to think that Uncle Ace is a
The bad uncle who only secretly stared at my mother’s breasts, but I didn’t expect him to be so powerful! He defeated that ugly guy from Team Rocket!”
Little lolita are the best! Little lolita of five or six years old are so adorable.
However, Liu Mang still remembered that it was this cute but extremely arrogant little loli who tricked him into this expensive apartment. At that time, the apartment had just been built and not a single apartment was rented out, not even the small one.
Lolita have all come out to sell.
Also, Francis is pitiful. He looks too African, so he is ugly... Indeed, most black people are just ugly.
Liu Mang was led by little sister Dinah to the living room and saw breakfast on the table.
This... When Liu Mang saw the sumptuous breakfast on the table, he felt something was wrong. There must be something wrong.
It's not like Liu Mang didn't come here to have a meal when he was very poor when he was in college. After all, the school team didn't have training and competition every day, and they had to go to class. Most of the time, they had to eat their own food, and the school team
I only care about the lunch meal, breakfast and dinner.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, Liu Mang had never seen these two beauties, one big and one small, preparing such a sumptuous table breakfast?
In the past, it was just a few slices of bread, a bottle of tomato sauce, at most an egg, and some hot milk, and even a few slices of vegetables, but today it was French soup, vegetables, bread, tender beef slices, and egg tarts.
, miso soup, saury, natto... and even a plate of meat buns!
Breakfast is available in both Chinese, Western and Japanese cuisines!
Is today the Chinese New Year? Christmas is more than a month away! And even if it was last Christmas, the beautiful landlady just bought him a hamburger for breakfast!
Liu Mang was a little worried. What was this beautiful landlady going to do?
No, what is the picture?
Liu Mang's family knew about his affairs, so it was definitely not possible that this beautiful landlady had taken a fancy to him.
Although this apartment is not far from the Phillips Center, that is, it cannot be in the city center, but in the suburbs, it has convenient transportation, not far from the subway, and the Eagles' home stadium, Phillips Arena, and Atlanta's NFL
The Mercedes Arena, home of the powerful Falcons, is very close, so this apartment is worth at least US$10 million.
And Liu Mang is just a second-round pick. The average career lifespan of a second-round pick in the NBA is less than three years. The average salary of all active second-round players who entered the NBA last season was less than $1 million. He knows that even if he
He is an NBA player, but if he doesn't do well, he may not be able to make one or two million in his career. It is definitely not possible that the beautiful landlady will take a fancy to him.
You want to talk about Liu Mang being handsome? He himself doesn’t think he is very handsome, at most he has pretty features. If he is rich, he will definitely not be as rich as other beautiful landlords.
So Liu Mang became even more uneasy, took a few bites of a bun that he hadn't eaten for a long time, and then felt even weirder.
Because two beauties, one big and one small, were staring at him.
I can’t eat this sumptuous breakfast! Liu Mang smiled bitterly and asked: “Levia, Dinah, why are you staring at me?”
"It's okay, we won't rush you. Dinah doesn't have class today or Saturday. Eat slowly and eat more." The beautiful landlady said with a smile.
"That's right, uncle, eat more. Only when you are full will you have strength. Try your best to beat up Iverson at night, just like you beat up Francis' ugly uncle yesterday!" said little Dinah, clenching her fists.
So that’s what happened!
Liu Mang thought, so that's it. Then he remembered that Americans have a much stronger sense of belonging in sports than Chinese people. Most people in European and American countries are team fans. The home team of the beautiful landlady and his daughter is the Eagles. No wonder they are so attentive today.
So that’s it.
Speaking of the 76ers, people's impression of them is that they were the second-best team in the league last season. Last season, the 76ers won almost all the awards in the regular season. The mvp was Iverson, the best coach was Larry Brown, and the best coach was Larry Brown.
The defensive player is Mutombo, the best sixth man is Aaron McGee, and the best manager is their boss Joshua Harris. In addition to the Most Improved Award, the five most important awards in the regular season are all
They took it all away.
This year, the 76ers basically kept their core lineup from last season, and then also introduced the 1990 No. 1 pick, former super power forward Derrick Coleman, and quasi-first-class small forward Matt Ha
Pullin seems to have qualitative reinforcements, and it seems difficult for the Eagles to beat them.
But Liu Mang knows that this year's 76ers are average, not weak, but definitely not a top team. The Hawks are still capable of fighting.
But Liu Mang is a little strange. When did he beat Francis? Didn't he secretly rely on Klay Thompson's ability to shoot a few three-pointers?
Then, the sports news on TV told him the answer.
The morning broadcast of ESPN sports station is a kind of continuous rotation and then breaks the latest news, which is similar to the sports news of court channel 5.
Unlike in China, where the news broadcasters are either aunties or wretched uncles, there are not so many weird rules in the United States. For news, you must find a beautiful anchor!
The beautiful anchor of Super Deep V began to read the press release again: "...Today is the second day of the NBA regular season. Today's hot game is the Philadelphia 76ers' away game against the Atlanta Hawks. In a game yesterday,
Hawks rookie Ace Liu performed well, beating Rockets point guard Steve Francis and scoring 10 points in three minutes to help the Hawks complete the reversal..."
Damn it! Liu Mang wants to curse, this is a treasonous topic!
This is a real source of hatred!
Not to mention anything else, Boss Fu is very popular and has good relationships with many stars. Now there is news that he beat Francis! Liu Mang feels that he is going to be targeted! Let’s not talk about the stars who have a good relationship with Francis.
, the gimmick of beating up Francis at him, beating him up will probably make many obvious defenders very motivated! Anyone who has seen Lin Crazy's experience knows that after Lin Crazy's short peak period ended, he was targeted by major superstars.
What a miserable life!
