I am a nobleman in England

Chapter 492: It's All About Business

After visiting the FriendsofFinn organization, Arthur left a donation of one hundred thousand dollars, and in order to thank Arthur for his generosity, Amanda was very happy to invite Arthur to dinner.

"...I just tell you the truth as a friend..." At the table, Arthur said solemnly.

And Amanda, who had been jokes by Arthur all the time, had a humorous smile, and the smile on Amanda's face was slightly stagnant, her beautiful eyes widened, and she waited very seriously for Arthur's following.

"I never found that I was so handsome."

"Puff--chuck..."

Seeing Amanda who was smiling and trembling, Arthur also showed a bright smile on his face. To be honest, he really did not expect that Amanda's smile would be so easy to get.

You know, most of what he said tonight is British cold humor. To put it bluntly, it is a cold joke. Faced with his serious nonsense, some people may not laugh at all, and think that this is pure damn. Let's talk about it, there is no urge to laugh, only an awkward rhythm...

But fortunately, every time Amanda is able to GET these cold and humorous smiles, he can make Amanda laugh.

The humor of a man is like a good figure of a woman, which is a natural attraction to the opposite sex.

I have to say that Arthur’s style and humor really make Amanda fall a little bit, and his love for Arthur is constantly on the rise. You must know that with a man with a sense of humor, life is full of comedy and life is full of fun, from time to time. A little luck, full of happiness.

"I had a really good time today, Arthur, you are a humorous gentleman." After dinner, Amanda and Arthur were enjoying desserts together, looking at Arthur with a flowery smile, softly admiring him. .

"Thank you, you didn't treat me as a rascal, but your beauty and charm made me feel uncontrollable. I couldn't control myself. I couldn't bear my excitement, and I couldn't help but want to do something for you. Next good impression." Arthur did not hide his feelings, but rather frankly said what he almost confessed.

Hearing Arthur's words, Amanda's beautiful eyes became extremely bright, and she stared at Arthur's eyes, two red clouds appeared on her white cheeks, and she suddenly smiled and blinked like a flower. Jiao smiled and said: "You are not honest, you should not confess to another girl if you have a girlfriend."

"Sorry, I’m just telling the truth. I can’t deceive my emotions, and I don’t need to deceive. Even if I close my mouth, joy will overflow from the corners of my eyes and eyebrows. I can’t hide it. I’ve been entangled before, afraid you know , I'm afraid that you don't know, and I'm even more afraid that you don't know if you know it. So, when I parted, I decided to confess." Arthur was very brazen and said something that would touch any woman.

Sure enough, when she heard these qing words, the expression on Amanda's somewhat playful face was also moved. After a long silence, Amanda smiled brightly and said to Arthur: "I'm a little tired..."

"I'll take you home." Arthur still kept smiling, stood up and helped Amanda remove the chair. The distance between the two of them was less than one meter. Arthur smelled the charming scent of Amanda and took a deep breath instinctively. a bit.

Feeling the deep breath behind her back, Amanda looked back and gave Arthur a charming and coquettish look, but was not angry about it.

Perceiving Amanda’s tolerance for some small ambiguities, Arthur knew that the other person also had a very good impression of him. Therefore, when the two left the restaurant together, Arthur naturally held his gentleman's hand on Amanda’s. Waist, and Amanda just smiled and turned to look at him, without saying anything, acquiescing to Arthur's intimate behavior.

Because the ambiguity between the two became stronger and stronger, on the way back to Hearst Manor, the two of them smiled inadvertently and were silent. It was not until the car drove into the manor that Arthur said: "The next few days My God, I'm going to be busy with the New Jersey Nets draft work. I will be very busy..."

"Work is important, and we will see you later." Amanda said with a smile, her red lips pursed.

"I'm afraid I will miss you all the time, do you miss me?" Arthur boldly attacked again.

"Hey, maybe I think about it." Amanda smiled charmingly, then opened the door, got out of the car, and said to Arthur who got off the same car: "Good night."

"Good night." Arthur smiled and waved his hand. For Amanda's offensive, he has already launched. If you want to subdue this celebrity daughter, there is still a long way to go. After all, he doesn't have that kind of Consciousness to drink a scoop.

Watching the red taillights of the car go away, Amanda, who stood at the door of the mansion, raised her mouth and said, "What a rascal!"

The next morning, Arthur looked at the gossip newspaper in his hand, and couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. As expected, all the tabloids in New York, setting the stage for the report published photos of him and Amanda, and all kinds of sensational headlines made people read. Is dumbfounding.

What New York princess squeezed out the country divas, what real countess was in New York, what English earl was a playboy...

As a result, while Arthur was eating breakfast, Taylor Swift, far away in Tennessee, called to ask questions. Well, listening to the angry and worried words in the microphone, Arthur pushed four, five, six, and firmly denied it. He explained the matter before and after in detail, and said a lot of boring QING words, and finally calmed Taylor.

"call--"

Hanging up the phone, Arthur shook his head and laughed. It was a tiring job to coax the woman. Fortunately, it calmed down. Not only that, but also let the threatening village queen decide to fly to New York and meet Arthur as soon as possible, thinking of Tyler’s unbelievable confession. t, while eating a delicious breakfast, he couldn't help but smashed his mouth, looking like an endless aftertaste.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Myers arrived and drove with Arthur to a luxury hotel next to Madison Square Garden. Today is the day of joint training before the NBA draft.

The finals ended and the NBA entered the offseason, but the offseason is not a "long grass period." During this relatively quiet day, there are still many major events that will happen, such as the annual NBA Draft.This is Arthur's first participation on the stage of the draft, and it also marks the beginning of a new era in basketball.

The NBA draft is a gamble. If you bet right, you are the winner. If you lose the bet, you can only blame your poor draft vision. So how important is the draft vision?

For many teams, if they are selected, they think the team may win the championship next season. If they are selected wrong, they may become a big team for several years.However, some teams' draft vision is not flattering. They obviously selected superstars, but traded them away on draft night. Later, they became superstars in NBA history, such as Uranus and so on.

This is Arthur’s first draft as the owner of the Nets. Although he is just a pseudo-fan and not professional, he attaches great importance to the results of this draft because he doesn’t want to be the owner of the Nets just because of the draft. Failure has become a big joke across America.

When Arthur walked into the hall under the guidance of Miles, he saw Magic Johnson and the Lakers general manager chatting with acquaintances. A group of people pretended not to notice fans taking selfies with them behind them.There is also a circle of players’ agents. Miles whispered to Arthur about the people on the court. Some reporters who were talking with the Clippers coach, saw Arthur appear, immediately dropped the opponent and walked quickly. Flocked to Arthur, surrounded them, scrambling to start asking questions.

Seeing that the reporters were so crazy and enthusiastic, the other NBA big guys on the scene couldn't help but smile at each other. They were also very curious about the Earl of Nets boss.The hall became lively and noisy.

But upstairs, above the hustle and bustle of New York, real action is happening.

You should know that during the pre-draft joint training process, about 300 interviews were conducted in two days.These conversations may be more than played that week, giving the team a better understanding of rookies and helping decision makers decide which players are worth investing millions of dollars in Thursday's NBA draft.

When Arthur finally got rid of the entanglement of the media reporters and the bombardment of questions, he hid in the elevator under the security guard, he couldn't help but smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect these sports reporters to be crazier than gossip paparazzi. ."

"No way, they have been spoiled by the alliance. Even if we don't want to be interviewed, we must accept their questions in accordance with the rules of the alliance. If we don't accept them, we will complain, and the complaint will be fined..." Miles laughed To explain."In fact, boss, there is no need for you to participate in this joint trial, because it is really boring."

"Haha, it's okay, after all, it's my first draft since I became the master." Arthur smiled slightly.

I came to the room where the Nets interviewed. The furniture in the room has a bed, TV, and dressing table.Two sofas and a table with eight chairs were cleared out.The Nets staff were already in place and ready. After Arthur and Miles sat down, someone asked whether to start. Miles looked at Arthur and Arthur nodded.

"let's start--"

After a few tense footsteps, a young man about to become a professional athlete prepares to face the most unpredictable part of the NBA draft.

"Relax, boy!" Miles smiled and said to the young player who walked in. Arthur looked at the information and learned that the opponent was a player who participated in the draft early.

"We just want to get to know you."

Someone poured water and the chat began.

Several people are taking handwritten notes, and no one is playing with their phones.The interview is more of a conversation than an interrogation.Generally in this order, the staff of the five teams asked most of the questions, and everyone got roughly the same amount of time and assumed their respective roles.

"How would your family tell us about you?"

"How many cell phones do you have?"

"Is it just for money?"

He also asked the player what he thought of his teammates in college, how he treated teammates he didn't like, and how to react to criticism.I don’t know where a question came up, a very specific question, about this player’s whistle for offensive fouls and his reaction to the referee in a game last season. It did not proceed in his way.

The player slid on the chair.

"How did you know?" he asked embarrassedly.

Time flies, the interview is over, and the player arrives in another of the seven interviews scheduled for him within minutes.Everyone is standing, shaking hands everywhere, and that's it, everything is over.The notebook closed, Miles walked to the door, patted him on the back twice, and said, "You did a great job."

The child walked into the hall, the door closed, and that was it.

"Each team has a different interview method, but in most cases, the hotel room is cleaned for about 30 minutes each time. There are 5 to 10 people in the room to interview players. At the end of the day, everyone is exhausted."

Back in his seat, Miles smiled and explained to the young boss who had not spoken during the entire interview.

"It's all about business." Arthur nodded with a chuckle.
