Anthony the Reborn

Chapter 32
Seeing that Anthony was nibbling a piece of bread, Su Xi burst out laughing, then realized that he had lost his composure, and quickly covered his mouth with his hands, but his body couldn't help shaking with laughter.

"Su Xi, why did you come back early?" Anthony took the bread out of his mouth, and when he saw the smiling face, he couldn't help but blushed slightly.

Su Xi laughed for a while, then pointed to Anthony's clothes and said, "Look at your clothes, you're hungry..."

Hearing Su Xi's words, Anthony looked down, only to find that there were a few shredded potatoes hanging on his chest, which formed a triangle and looked like a pyramid. No wonder Su Xi smiled like that.

Anthony scratched his head in embarrassment, smiled and reached out to pick off the potato shreds.

Su Xi walked to the table with a flushed face, saw the dishes on the table, and said in surprise, "You cooked all these dishes?"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that, I can also cook Chinese food..." Anthony said with a smile.

"Is this your first time cooking?" Su Xi suddenly raised his head, looking at Anthony with a reddish face.

"Uh...it should be." Anthony searched Carmelo Anthony's memory, and it seemed that this was not the first time cooking, so he added, "Chinese food is the first time."

Hearing Anthony's answer, a strange look suddenly flashed in Su Xi's eyes.

"Ding!"

Suddenly, there was a crisp sound.

"Oh, I'm afraid the dishes will be cold, so I put the two cooked first in the microwave." After Anthony finished speaking, he turned and went into the kitchen.

"Also..." Su Xi said in surprise, and poked his head into the kitchen while speaking.

"Okay, that's all..." Anthony also took out the dishes from the microwave, a total of 6 dishes and a soup, which was barely enough for him to cook.

From left to right, lined up: hot and sour potato shreds, braised green vegetables in oil, stewed pork ribs with radish, braised fish, fried meat with green peppers, green beans with pickled vegetables, and a tomato and egg soup.

"Melo, who did you learn these dishes from?" Su Xi put the bag on the sofa, sat on the stool Anthony brought out for her, and looked at the dishes in front of her. asked in surprise.

Anthony had already thought up his speech, and when he heard Su Xi's question, he took out his phone and shook it, "Isn't there a recipe, it's introduced online~"

"Ah? You cooked it according to the introduction on the Internet?" Su Xi's expression of surprise became stronger, and he looked down at the dishes again, looking at Anthony with a hint of excitement in his eyes and said, "Melo, you have become a dish." Potential for a Chinese chef!"

"Really!" Seeing Anthony's embarrassing expression, Su Xi continued, "You have to study further, maybe you can really open a Chinese restaurant, although there are not many Chinese in Denver, there are quite a few! "

"Ahem..." Anthony was a little embarrassed by Su Xi's sudden thought.

"Uh... pretend I didn't say it." Su Xi quickly picked up the chopsticks and made a "surrender" gesture, and said with a smile, "I forgot that you are a big star."

"Okay, let's try my handicraft first." Anthony said, pointing to a table of dishes.

"Yeah." Su Xi nodded, picked up the chopsticks and tasted one by one, chewing for a while without eating one, as if reminiscing.

After a while, Su Xi ate all the dishes, but the astonishment on his face became more and more intense. To be honest, the level of these dishes can only be regarded as barely passing in Chinese cooking, but Su Xi Now it seems that Anthony, an American, is not much worse than her in cooking!
"Melo, you are amazing. Whoever marries you will be a feast for the eyes." Su Xi praised without hesitation.

"You are exaggerating, as long as you like to eat." Anthony replied with a smile.

Su Xi suddenly fell silent.

Feeling that Su Xi was not moving, Anthony raised his head and saw her lowering her head. He was wondering, but suddenly thought of what he said just now. After a little understanding, Anthony hoped that Su Xi would marry him. This...

Anthony didn't know what to say for a while.

"Melo, do you miss home?" At this moment, Su Xi suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Home?" Anthony looked at Su Xi suspiciously. Counting Barry, this was the second time he had heard this question today.

"You know, I've been in America for two years, and this is the first Chinese meal I've ever eaten." Su Xi's eye circles were slightly red, "I didn't expect to be able to eat Chinese food before I left. ..."

"Leaving?" Anthony was startled suddenly, and asked hurriedly, "Are you going back to China?"

"My medical and nursing courses are finished this semester, and I have no reason to stay here any longer." There was a trace of reluctance in Su Xi's words.

That's right, Su Xi is just an overseas student. After finishing his studies, he will naturally go back to China. Anthony's joy after cooking the dishes was instantly washed away. He pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Aren't you going to work in the United States?"

"Are you a nurse here?" Su Xi asked suddenly.

"Are the nurses bad?" Anthony had never heard of nurses in the United States.

"Melo." Su Xi suddenly put down his chopsticks and said with piercing eyes, "America is a country where medical care is free. Doctors can help people see a doctor once in a while, but nurses can't. Nurses are very busy in every hospital. You I couldn't see me during that time because I was in the emergency room all the time, and I came back almost every day at two or three o'clock, and I really couldn't bear it at that time..."

When Anthony heard this, he also understood why there were tears in the corners of Su Xi's eyes that morning. It was really too difficult for a person and a woman to survive in the United States.

"I can... help you." Anthony originally wanted to say yes, but changed his words when he got to the point of his mouth.

Su Xi remained silent.

"I can ask Calvin, my agent, to help you find a job in the NBA through his network. You have a certain understanding of basketball." Anthony is completely dead.

"I can't do it..." Seeing Anthony's anxious expression, Su Xi felt happy in his heart, but couldn't help but feel lost.

"Then..." Anthony really didn't know what to do.

"Let's eat first, or you'll burn so many dishes for nothing~" Su Xi said with a smile.

Anthony didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only nod.

After dinner, Su Xi went to work in the hospital again, leaving Anthony alone in the room with his mobile phone, but his mind was in a mess and he couldn't settle down at all.

"Buzz..."

At this moment, the mobile phone in Anthony's hand vibrated suddenly. He picked it up and saw that it was Andrews, the agent. He reached out and pressed the hands-free button.

"Hello, is it Melo? You are ready to go, the boss will treat us to dinner tonight." As soon as the speaker was turned on, Andrews' excited voice came from inside.

"Boss?" Anthony frowned. He still knows the owner of the Nuggets, Stanley Kronko. He is also a well-known owner in the NBA who is willing to spend money. , but why did you suddenly say you want to eat?
"Yes, boss, as well as Vandeweghe and other management personnel, it seems that the Nuggets seem to be preparing to make some changes." Andrews said with something in his words.

"Make changes? What do you mean?"

"It's not your game yesterday. You may not know it. Kronko also went to San Antonio yesterday. He watched the whole game of yours!" Andrews couldn't suppress his excitement.

"You mean the Nuggets are ready to make a deal?" Anthony finally understood what Andrews said.

"I'm not sure. You may not know until the past, but one thing is certain is that your performance has exceeded the expectations of the Nuggets management. Their goal this season is to try to reach the playoffs, but Now maybe they are ready to switch..." Andrews analyzed.

"This way..." Anthony didn't expect that the butterfly effect would come so quickly after only one game.

"That's right, that's it. You can just mention any ideas you have during the meal. Those are the ones who make decisions with their brains. They know your value and will give full consideration to your opinions." Andrews vowed Said.

"Well, I see, where is it?" Anthony suddenly became excited, history is undergoing slight changes under his influence, and what Coach Boham said may be able to talk about it when the time comes.

"You don't need to know, I'll just pick you up when the time comes, well, you get ready first." Andrews said as he was about to hang up.

"Calvin, wait a minute..." Anthony suddenly thought about Su Xi, and he hurriedly called Andrews to stop.

"Huh? What else is there?" Andrews seemed to have something to do at hand.

"It's like this. I have someone here. See if you can find her an easy job in the NBA through your network. Her name is Su Xi. It's like this..."

As Anthony spoke, he told Su Xi's basic situation.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time before he said, "I have work. You know that there are many injured players in the NBA and they often need someone to take care of them. The medical team of the Nuggets may need someone, but..."

Anthony had sounded good, but Andrews had a but.

"but what?"

"The Chinese named Su Xi is right. This kind of work is not suitable for women, and she is an Asian woman. Their bodies and spirits will not be able to bear it... And let me tell you the truth, there are many black people in the NBA. The self-discipline of the players is not very good, I can tell that the person named Su Xi has a good relationship with you, you may push her into the fire pit..." Andrews said realistically.

self-discipline...

Anthony really didn't consider this point. When Andrews said this, he suddenly trembled. If Su Xi was accidentally black..., then he would never feel at ease for the rest of his life.

Just when Anthony was frustrated, Andrews on the other end of the phone continued: "Actually, Mello, women are very simple. If your friend doesn't mind, you can let him be your full-time medical staff~"

"That's right!" Anthony suddenly slapped his thigh. Why didn't he expect that if he couldn't give money, wouldn't it be okay to hire Su Xi? He said excitedly, "Calvin, you really have a fantastic idea." what!"

Excited, he unconsciously changed the four words "Wonderful Ideas" into Chinese.

"Odd... what?" Andrews was confused on the day of the call.

"No...it's nothing, I said you're smart." Anthony said with a smile.

"Well, if it's okay, you should prepare first. I'm still discussing your endorsement fee with the Jordan brand. That's it for now." Andrews couldn't wait.

"Ah."

Anthony silently hung up the phone and turned to look at the street view outside the window. He suddenly realized that today is really a beautiful day!
