Originally, O'Mei was planning to go back on Christmas Eve, but in the end she chose to stay with Li Hao. However, the two did not spend time in the apartment, but went to Kobe's house.
Kobe knew about Li Hao's situation. He had no parents and his best friend was in Minnesota, so Kobe invited Li Hao to his house to spend Christmas Eve together.
It was impossible for the two of them to go empty-handed. O'Mei bought a lot of toys. Although O'Mei had already met Vanessa and Kobe's two daughters yesterday, it was not a formal meeting.
"Help me keep an eye out for any houses for sale near you." After dinner, O'Mei was with Vanessa and Kobe's two daughters, while Li Hao came to the yard with Kobe.
"If I had said yes when I told you the first time, I would have been able to move in now." There was actually a house for sale nearby before.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not in a hurry, the apartment still has half a year left," Li Hao said with a smile.
"Let's say it first, the rent will not be refunded," Kobe said immediately.
"Don't worry, I'm not that stingy person," Li Hao said nonchalantly.
"What do you mean?" Kobe always felt that Li Hao's words were a bit strange.
"It's nothing, my annual salary is only US$880,000," Li Hao said.
"Yes, with an annual salary of US$880,000, a sneaker contract worth US$100 million, and soon owning his own sneaker brand company." In Kobe's view, Li Hao's entry into the All-Stars is a sure thing.
You know, so far, Li Hao has twice as many All-Star votes as James. What is the concept of twice as much? James currently has more than 400,000 votes, while Li Hao has nearly one million votes.
Not surprisingly, Li Hao will definitely exceed one million after the first round of voting, while James is estimated to be just over half a million. James is the top player in the league.
However, Li Hao is not the only one to surpass the top spot, there is also Kobe. Although Kobe's popularity has declined in the past two years, with Li Hao's blessing this season, Kobe has more votes than James.
The Yao Ming effect is quite famous in the NBA. During the Rockets period, because of Yao Ming's relationship, Rockets players gradually became known to domestic fans and received a lot of extra income.
Li Hao's current effect is definitely not comparable to that of Yao Ming, but it is gradually beginning to show. Kobe Bryant's All-Star vote surpassing James is an example.
In a world without Li Hao, not to mention Kobe surpassing James, even Curry cannot compare. Although he has also entered the All-Star starting lineup, the Western Conference vote king belongs to Curry.
Because of Li Hao's All-Star votes, the NBA headquarters has been debating for some time whether or not the votes of Chinese fans are counted, or how they are counted.
You know, last year's All-Star vote king James only had more than one million votes, but this year Li Hao ended the first round with more than one million votes. According to this situation, it is not difficult to get two million votes.

"I'm not in a hurry." The place where Kobe lives now was bought by him in 2008. At that time, he spent about 9 million US dollars. It covers an area of nearly 1,500 square meters. It is located between Newport and Laguna Beach. It is the best residence in California. One of the districts, and house prices have been soaring in recent years.
Kobe Bryant's villa has six bedrooms, which will be expanded to ten after his two daughters are born. It has a game room, a home theater, a basketball court, a gym, and a swimming pool.
"Um~~~Originally I wanted to call and ask my friend." As the Lakers star, Kobe has a very wide network of connections. Although Kobe is very pure about basketball, modern basketball has been linked to too many things.
In fact, Kobe is already pretty good. The future James will be more like a businessman than a player. This is not a bad thing about James.
"Actually, I'm quite anxious." Li Hao knew that because of Kobe's relationship, he would definitely get a discount when buying a house. This is why Li Hao looked for Kobe.
Perhaps in the eyes of those rich people, one or two million is nothing, but to Li Hao, one or two million is not a small amount.
Besides, if he can really save one or two million, even if Li Hao doesn't spend it himself, he can still use it for charity. Li Hao has always been a grateful person.
"Hahaha" Kobe, who had the upper hand, laughed happily.
"Wait for two days, no matter what, you shouldn't disturb others this Christmas." After saying that, Kobe went back to the house.
……………………………………………………
The next day, Li Hao personally drove Aomei home. Although Li Hao was not ready to meet her parents yet, it was his duty to see his girlfriend off, and he knew the way.
After kissing "Merry Christmas" goodbye, Li Hao immediately drove to Toyota Sports Center and then set off for the airport.
"No, don't you want to stay in Los Angeles to spend Christmas with your family?" Li Hao looked at Kobe speechlessly.
"I already made a deal with Vanessa," Kobe said.
Li Hao suspected that there must be other reasons for Vanessa's divorce from Kobe besides Kobe's messing around outside. However, it can be seen from this that Vanessa does love Kobe.
In fact, it is normal for Li Hao not to understand. His career has just begun, and he is still a monk halfway.
Basketball may not be everything to Kobe, but it has become an indispensable presence in Kobe's life, and at the age of 36, Kobe does not have much career left.
Vanessa loves Kobe and understands Kobe's mood, so she did not object to Kobe going to Chicago with the team on Christmas Day, even though Kobe could only sit on the sidelines.

Chicago, the third largest city in the United States, the hometown of Batman, the place where Michael Jordan condensed his godhood. After Jordan, the Bulls were silent for several years until Derrick Rose appeared.
Under the leadership of Rose, the Bulls saw hope of rising, especially in the 10-11 season. Under Rose's leadership, the Bulls achieved the best record in the league, and Rose became the youngest regular season MVP in the NBA.
The Roth Clause was born.
After that, Rose signed a super-large contract with the Bulls. Just when everyone was thinking that the Bulls were about to usher in a great renaissance, Rose was injured.
This injury became not only a nightmare for Rose, but also a nightmare for the Bulls. The road to recovery came to an abrupt end. The rose of the Windy City began to wither before it truly bloomed. This also became a regret for many people.
"It's a pity that Rose is no longer at his peak." If possible, Li Hao would really like to play against Rose at his peak.
In the NBA, there are a few players whose breakthroughs can be regarded as extraordinary, such as retired Allen Iverson.
There is still a saying in the NBA. The whole world knows that Iverson is going to break through to the right, but you just can't prevent it.
After Iverson came Rose. Rose's change of direction without slowing down or even accelerating went against the common sense of sports. Perhaps it was because this style of play was so unnatural that Rose believed in God and took back this ability.
However, this breakthrough technique is quite suitable for Li Hao. This guy has a body of steel, so he doesn't have to worry about injuries at all.
"Is there an opportunity to ask Ross for advice?" Li Hao came up with such an idea.
