Dominate the Super Bowl

Chapter 259 258 making trouble out of nothing

"It seems you're quite confident,"

Edwards didn't show it explicitly, but this brief statement was laden with significance, especially within the entire context.

Donald wasn't angry because he knew how revolutionary and era-surpassing his conceptual blueprint was, which is why it required a truly courageous, bold, and wise individual to understand it.

Without arguing, Donald stood up and shook hands with Edwards, preparing to take his leave. With an unhurried tone, he said, "I am not alone."

Edwards instinctively looked towards Li Wei—

So, are the two of you the only ones indulging in this daydream?

Li Wei faced Edwards's scrutiny with composure.

Donald's voice cut in, "Unfortunately, it appears that Nike's preparatory work is still not sufficiently thorough. Perhaps, Mr. Edwards, upon your return, you might inquire with your company's scouting department to see how they view the Kansas City Chiefs' remarkable draft pick."

Even now, with the season already kicked off, the discussions surrounding the draft strategy of the Kansas City Chiefs continued unabated—

To be precise, with every game Li Wei played, the debate only intensified.

Donald's implication was that maybe Nike should also consider what a consistently conservative and steady Andy Reid saw in Li Wei to make such an astounding pick.

Edwards was momentarily taken aback.

He admitted that he had somewhat neglected this matter. Had Andy Reid really misjudged? Or did he see something others hadn't?

However, the negotiation with Donald had concluded, and not intending to stay any longer, after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Donald and Li Wei turned to leave the hotel room.

Not until they were in the elevator and all was completely quiet did Li Wei finally speak up, while Donald couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to ask?"

Still reeling from the impact of the meeting, Li Wei showed it only now, "I've been maintaining a poker face. God, this is more exhausting than playing in a game."

The light joke eased the tension, "Donald, this is your field of expertise. I've said it before, I trust your judgment. The decision is yours."

Donald too made a rare jest, "Be careful, I might just turn around and sell you."

Li Wei shrugged lightly, "Don't worry, even if I were buried in the Sahara Desert, I'd crawl out and find you again."

Opening a brand-new door to the world.

An hour of time flew by before it was even noticed.

If it wasn't for Donald calling in advance to remind Li Wei of the time, Li Wei and the defensive team's study group meeting might not have known when to end.

In a rush, he took a quick shower, changed into fresh clothes, and left the hotel again to keep his appointment.

Fortunately, he wasn't late.

The dinner was very pleasant.

Whether it was LeBron James or Li Wei, each had their own goals, and naturally cooperated fully; after clearing up the misunderstanding, both treated that phone call as a funny story, teasing and joking with each other.

As a top NBA superstar, LeBron put on quite a star's style, even if this wasn't Cleveland, the chances of him being recognized by passersby were still very high.

Tonight, LeBron was very down-to-earth, kindly taking photos and hugging fans, enthusiastically introducing Li Wei, and being generous with his praises, saying things like "superstar," "phenomenal emergence," and "absolutely should not be missed," which gave Li Wei a taste of superstar treatment—

Especially when Li Wei was actually recognized by passersby, it once again proved that the promotional effect of the week-long billboards advertising was indeed extraordinary. Experience new stories on My Virtual Library Empire

For the moment, Li Wei still lacked a real sense of his own level of recognition.

That popularity, always remained online; in real life, Li Wei's recognition was limited to Kansas City, where he was already a household name, but once out of Kansas City, he still hadn't felt that warmth.

He never expected to get a taste of it in Los Angeles.

After dinner, LeBron took Li Wei to a bar, actively introduced him to a bunch of his friends, and they all had a good time.

However, it didn't last too long, LeBron knew Li Wei had training the next day, and at nine-thirty, LeBron personally escorted Li Wei back; after Li Wei had left, LeBron went back into the bar, not to party, but to meet players:

The ruse to deceive the onlookers was over, the real show finally began.

Li Wei returned to the hotel and went to bed early according to his own biological clock, yet he didn't expect the flavor of Los Angeles, this place of fame and fortune, to have a sequel.

"NFL rising star lost in the glitz of Los Angeles, the beginning of his fall?"

Li Wei: What?
