After completing the signature, Lu Zhengze also changed his jersey and came out; then, Lu Ke also signed his name on the back of his jersey as required. Looking at his satisfied father and mother, Lu Ke couldn't help but show a big smile. .
In just three weeks after entering the league, the world has undergone earth-shaking changes, and it has begun to penetrate into all aspects of life, making people clearly feel the difference between competitive sports and professional leagues. Or to be more precise, after three wins as the starting quarterback, everything started to look different.
"Zizzizi", the mobile phone in the backpack began to vibrate, interrupting Lu Ke's thoughts. He put the backpack on the back of the sofa and found the mobile phone. The other party was still waiting tirelessly, and Lu Ke answered the call in time. , "This is Lu Ke."
"Lu Ke, this is Lech." The unfamiliar voice came from the other end of the phone. Lu Ke was still familiar with such changes, Lech Steinberg, his agent.
Only twenty-four hours had passed since the two of them completed the agency signing, and Lu Ke had not yet adapted to having an agent. The words paused for a moment, and the other end of the phone seemed to understand Lu Ke's hesitation and chuckled, "Your agent, we have completed the signing. You won't forget it, right?"
"Ha, now that I think about it." Lu Ke also joked, "What's wrong, are you ready to regret it?"
"I hope you won't make me regret it." Lech also joked, but stopped, and then continued, "I am at the St. Francis Hotel in Union Square. Do you know where I am?"
"Yes." Union Square is the city center of San Francisco, and Lu Ke is naturally very familiar with it.
"Very good, how long will it take you to come here now?" Without preamble, Laich got to the point quickly and resolutely. This was the first time that he showed his business-like style in front of Lu Ke.
"Twenty to twenty-five minutes." Lu Ke did not ramble, and immediately entered into the rhythm of work, and simply replied, "But, I just finished training and am now wearing training clothes." By the way, Lu Ke Also explained.
The St. Francis Hotel is one of the most famous hotels in San Francisco and has landmark status. Although they open their doors to entertain all guests, casually dressed guests who enter will inevitably need to undergo certain questioning and explain the situation.
"Okay, I'll give you forty minutes." Laihe made a decision without any excuse or hesitation, "You tidy yourself up, then change a set of clothes, try to choose the clothes you usually wear in private. Come here. After you get to the hotel, find the lobby manager, tell me my name, and then tell you your name, and they will guide you up."
After the explanation, without any more nonsense, Leh hung up the phone directly.
There is no beginning or end, just be decisive. This kind of Laihe is really far from the kind old man he met twice before. Lu Ke couldn't help but slightly raised his eyebrows. He didn't have time to think carefully about what was going on. He said hello to his parents and then went upstairs to take a shower.
After about ten minutes, Lu Ke finished preparing to go out, explained to Lu Zhengze again, took the car keys and drove away in a hurry.
Union Square is one of the most famous landmarks in San Francisco. Although it is called the square, it actually covers an area of very small, only about one hectare. The square itself has no features, and is only planted with some flowers, palms and yew.
However, this is the center of the entire city, surrounded by many department stores, high-end boutiques, tourist merchandise stores, art galleries, theaters and high-end restaurants; and the world-famous Dangdang train, both lines are bound to Passing here, everything makes Union Square the commercial center of the city.
Every winter, a tall Christmas tree is erected on the square, facing Macy's Department Store on the other side of the street, and then the square is converted into an ice skating rink, transforming it into one of the most suitable places for family outings and fun during the holidays.
In the past, when Lu Ke was working part-time, Union Square was the area with the most activity. It was here that I met Candice again.
It was not the rush hour at this time, so Lu Ke arrived at Union Square smoothly. Since this is a bustling shopping street, parking is undoubtedly the most troublesome thing. Lu Ke drove to the underground parking lot under Union Square with ease. This is a paid parking lot, and relatively speaking, there will be more parking spaces.
Sure enough, I found the parking space smoothly. After parking, I walked towards the St. Francis Hotel next to the square.
Now owned by Westin, the St. Francis Hotel is one of San Francisco's most famous hotels. Not because of its luxury, which is just a four-star hotel; but because of its history, the architecture that witnessed the American Civil War is undoubtedly one of the city's most valuable assets, and later hosted countless national leaders and Hollywood Superstar, and has also become the subject of many movies.
The small bar in the hotel lobby, "Compass Rose", is undoubtedly one of the best choices for afternoon tea, serving champagne, caviar, premium vodka, etc., and there is live music in the evening. It is a good place to soothe your tired legs while shopping, or to enjoy the leisure time in the afternoon.
There is also a bookstore and flower shop next to it, which is the icing on the cake.
Entering the hotel lobby, Lu Ke went straight to the lobby manager without taking any detours, "Good afternoon, I came here specifically to find Mr. Lech-Steinberg."
"Excuse me, are you..." Rose-Grey, the hotel lobby manager, raised her head, but before she finished speaking or waiting for the other party to answer, her eyes lit up slightly, "Are you Bambi?" !" After saying that, she couldn't help but chuckled and shook her head, "No, I mean, you are Lu Ke!"
This time, Lu Ke was caught off guard. The words rolled on the tip of his tongue. He laughed happily and nodded, "Yes, I am Lu Ke."
"I must say, this week's game was completed beautifully! Several offensive choices were particularly good." Ruth's eyebrows were beaming, and she tried to lower her voice, but she still couldn't hide the true identity of the fanatical fan.
"Thank you, I'm doing my best." Lu Ke chuckled, and then glanced at the other party's nameplate, "Uh, Ruth? I'm here to visit Mr. Lech-Steinberg."
This was the first time Lu Ke met a real fan outside the stadium. The other party not only recognized him, but also knew a lot about the game, which is really rare. After three consecutive victories, there are indeed a lot of "firsts", and Lu Ke is working hard to adapt to these new changes.
If time allowed, Lu Ke would be very happy to stop and discuss the just-ended game with the other party; but today's situation did not allow it. He had work at this time and he had to leave.
"Oh, yes, yes." Ruth responded and nodded repeatedly, "Sorry, please forgive my gaffe." Ruth immediately resumed her professional attitude, "Mr. Steinberg is waiting in room 2501. , here is the room key, just follow the doorman up in a moment." Ruth placed the room key on the counter, then snapped her fingers, summoned the doorman over, and whispered some instructions.
After finishing the work, Ruth hesitated for a moment, and seemed to clenched her fists secretly, cheering herself up, "Sorry, can I delay you for ten seconds? I know this is very rude, but...can you sign your autograph for me?" "Ruth also realized that her behavior was really unprofessional——
As the lobby manager of the St. Francis Hotel, they entertain countless top stars every year, and maintaining a professional attitude and not being rude or disrespectful is basic professional preparation.
As soon as the words were spoken, Ruth couldn't help biting the tip of her tongue to express her annoyance. She is a fan of the San Francisco 49ers, an avid fan. She has liked this team since she was four years old. She is definitely a die-hard fan who is well-deserved. In Lu Ke, she sees hope, and more importantly, she likes Lu Ke’s Game temperament.
This is a bit unusual today.
"Of course there is no problem." Lu Ke paused for a moment and showed a friendly smile. That's the least he can do. "Excuse me, where should I sign?"
"Here! Here!" Ruth quickly took out her business card, then took out the signature pen from her jacket pocket and handed it over. She watched Lu Ke quickly complete the signature and then pushed the business card and signature pen back. , Ruth showed a bright smile, "Thank you, I really appreciate it. I hope everything goes well in the competition next week!"
"I should be the one to express my gratitude." Lu Ke said with a smile, turned around, and walked towards the elevator under the guidance of the doorman.
At this time, Ruth lowered her head and looked at the back of the business card in her hand, which read, "Dear Ruth, thank you for your support. This is the motivation for me to continue moving forward. Lu Ke." A simple sentence, but Brightened up Ruth's day.
The elevator was a bit old. It climbed slowly to the 25th floor. Under the leadership of the doorman, he came to room 2501 and knocked on the door. Lu Ke paid the doorman a tip of twenty dollars, and then the room door opened. , Laihe's figure appeared in front of him, a brisk smile appeared on his face.
Because Lu Ke arrived earlier than scheduled, punctuality is a very important quality.
"Come in." Lech invited. Lu Ke walked straight in and saw at least three figures in the hall, one standing and two sitting on the sofa.
Seeing Lu Ke's figure, the standing woman walked up with a smile, "Nice to meet you, Lu Ke."
Lu Ke politely held the other person's right hand and said, "It's my pleasure." But the other person did not introduce himself, and Laihe, who followed closely behind, seemed to have no intention of introducing himself. When Lu Ke was about to be self-sufficient, the man sitting on the sofa Two men in suits stood up. One of them, a middle-aged man with a neatly trimmed beard, said kindly, "You are younger than I thought."
Lu Ke smiled and said, "Asians are all young in your eyes."
