Under the escort of security personnel, Lu Ke finally got rid of the crowds, leaving the noisy sounds and turbulent crowds behind. When the hospital door opened and closed, the noise and excitement completely calmed down. The glass door divides the inside and outside into two worlds.
Fresh air rushed in in an instant, with a faint smell of medicine, but it was cool and clear enough. I couldn't help but take a big breath, and then a voice full of laughter came from my ears, "Such a battle, Have you never encountered this before?"
Looking up, Lu Ke saw the figure of team doctor Walter Hudson, holding a cup of coffee in his hand, leisurely and relaxed. There was a huge gap between Lu Ke's sweaty and embarrassed appearance at this time, and he deliberately wrinkled His brow showed a serious look, "Wait, are you gloating now?"
"I think reporters should be very happy to interview the team doctor and get first-hand information." Lu Ke pointed behind him with a friendly expression, "Compared to Sophie, you should be a more suitable interviewee. Do you need me to inform them? They probably don’t know that you are also in the hospital.”
Walter almost choked on the scalding coffee and waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no need." He couldn't even speak clearly, and showed a polite yet embarrassed smile, "I'm worried about you. Today is just the beginning. There will be more and more occasions like this in the future. You should learn to adapt. You know, superstars are treated like this."
Lu Ke also showed a big fake smile, "If I get injured, or start losing games, they will be happier than today." Although it seems inappropriate to complain about his "potential peers" like this, but this But it's the truth.
"At least, they saw you." Walter shrugged, widened his eyes, and said jokingly.
Before this week's game, reporters had already started to pay attention to Lu Ke. They even chased and intercepted Lu Ke on his morning jogging route, interfering with the daily lives of Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning; but compared with today's battle, those harassments were It can only be said that a small witch can make a big witch appear. Now the reporters can really "see" Lu Ke.
For the entire league, starting yesterday, Chinese-American quarterbacks truly joined the professional league.
Lu Ke naturally understood the profound meaning of Walter's words, but he pretended not to understand, and instead joked, "How about it, do you need me to help them open the curtains that block their eyes and see your presence?"
"Ahem." Walter coughed twice exaggeratedly, as if he was really burned by the coffee, and then pretended that nothing happened and looked away, with that jerky and embarrassing look, which he usually often sees in the team. The serious image of the encounter is actually very different. Sure enough, everyone has a different face on and off the court.
"Ding", while talking, the elevator came to the first floor.
Walter quickly changed the topic and motioned for Lu Ke to go upstairs together to prepare for today's inspection.
Unexpectedly, after the elevator door opened, a familiar face came out, Lech Steinberg. Standing next to him was a silver-haired man wearing a suit and leather shoes and a white coat. He looked about sixty years old. His appearance, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, exuded a light bookish air.
Laihe also noticed Lu Ke standing in front of him:
Her short black hair has been twisted into a chicken coop, and the collar of her shirt has been severely stretched out of shape. There are several red marks on her cheeks and chin caused by the squeeze of the camera arc, which can even be seen on the legs of her jeans. There were clear footprints, and there were more than one, and there was a sense of embarrassment and embarrassment all over his body.
This is not the Lu Ke he is familiar with, and obviously, this is not the Lu Ke that anyone is familiar with.
After taking off the strong and domineering quarterback coat on the court, Lu Ke is still a fresh graduate who has just left college, and his youthful face is still childish - wait, all Asians look like that So young!
A smile flashed across Laihe's eyes, and he turned to look at the silver-haired man beside him, "Martin, this is the young man I mentioned to you."
The man named Martin looked at Lu Ke carefully, but it was not the look of an elder looking at a junior, but more like... the look of an archaeologist looking at a skeleton.
Although he knew that this idea was extremely ridiculous, Lu Ke didn't know why the image of "skeleton" appeared in his mind, but deep down he couldn't help but rolled his eyes. He always felt that the silver-haired man in front of him was a bit strange, and he couldn't explain it. Strange, like a vampire.
"So, you are Bambi?" The silver-haired man showed a slight smile, elegant and calm, and then nodded slightly. He didn't know what he was confirming, because the words stopped here, and there was no follow-up. He was transferred directly. Topic, "A quarter buys what you're thinking right now."
"'Twilight'." Lu Ke's answer stunned everyone, but he looked calm, "You know, it's the way the heroine looks when she sees the hero's father for the first time...etc. Wait, haven’t you all seen this movie?”
Lu Ke suddenly realized that the three people around him all had confused expressions of "What are you talking about?" The awkwardness of talking to each other really made people laugh. Generation gap, this is definitely a generation gap! "Well, I'd better keep my mouth shut. Let me state here that I personally don't like this movie, it's just for the company of a friend. Well, a friend."
Not Candice Swanepoel, but Logan Newman.
"Young people's movie?" The silver-haired man showed a meaningful expression, slightly retracted his chin, and then turned to look at Laihe, "He is indeed an interesting guy."
But the next moment, he saw Laihe raise his chin and make a gesture. He was a little confused and turned his head again in the direction of Laihe's instructions. Then he saw Lu Ke spread his right hand and put it on his in front of myself. Not only have the doubts not been answered, but they have continued to increase and are full of question marks.
"Twenty-five cent coins." Lu Ke said.
He was stunned for a moment, and then he saw the smiles on the faces of Laihe and Walter, and he couldn't help but laugh.
Then, he took out a coin from the pocket of his white coat and placed it solemnly in Lu Ke's palm, "I am Martin-Hirsch, a consultant from Lech. Old friends, I hope we don’t need to cross paths at work in the future.”
The self-introduction was concise and clear, but did not talk too much about his profession and identity; the first greeting was unconventional and full of personality. This is reminiscent of Lech's style.
But it can be guessed that Lech came over today and took the initiative to introduce Martin and Lu Ke to get acquainted. Obviously this is an important person; as for the last sentence, it can be understood as hoping that Lu Ke will not suffer injuries in his professional sports career. , It is best to reduce the work interaction with hospitals, doctors, and consultants as much as possible.
From this perspective, Martin is not as serious and elegant as he looks on the outside, but still has a humorous style in his heart.
"I hope so, thank you for the coin." Lu Ke smiled and held Martin's right hand, then collected the coin, "Lu Ke, a rugby player. Lech and I have just met, and we are still getting to know each other. stage.”
A serious expression and humorous words. The contradictory sense of contradiction also created an alternative kind of humor, and the smile couldn't help but surge up in his eyes.
Especially the second half of the sentence, with a "blind date"-like ambiguous tone, really made people laugh. Lech was used to it, but both Walter and Martin were slightly surprised. After understanding it, they both laughed lightly. laughed.
Martin took half a step back, gave up his position, and said politely, "Today, you came here specifically for a checkup, so I won't waste your time. After you go upstairs, the relevant staff will give you specific instructions. Best wishes. Have a wonderful day."
Without stopping, Lech and Martin left the elevator, while Walter and Lu Ke entered the elevator.
Lech nodded and said, "You will do the examination first, and we will chat slowly during lunch." Then, without waiting for the elevator door to close, he and Martin turned around and walked toward the backyard of the hospital.
Watching the two people drifting away, the elevator door slowly closed, Walter looked Lu Ke up and down, his eyes full of curiosity, but he still couldn't hold it back, "You are not curious at all, who is that? ?"
Then I saw Lu Ke shrugging lightly, "I'm looking forward to it, and I will never work with him." The bigger the boss, the more serious the injury problem, so Lu Ke still felt uncomfortable Better to know.
Such a response made Walter roll his eyes speechlessly, and then he couldn't hold back and gave the answer, "Martin Heskey, a top consultant in motor nerve and muscle injuries, is the most authoritative pyramid leader in the entire West Coast. One of the characters.”
"Over the years, he has gradually left the clinical field and mainly specialized in consulting; but he is always able to give the most professional and accurate opinions, and with his strong connections, he can always find the top young and middle-aged clinicians in various fields." Walter's excitement could hardly be concealed, "This is definitely a big name in the industry. I didn't expect that he would show up today!"
But if you think about it, Lech-Steinberg is a different kind of top agent.
Ben Roethlisberger's related resources are also top-notch in the industry, otherwise injuries of all sizes would have ended Roethlisberger's career long ago; now it's Lu Ke's turn, and naturally he is no exception. Lech contacted him early It’s a matter of course to take Martin Heskey and take precautions before they happen.
"Why, aren't you excited at all?" Walter's excitement suddenly evaporated in front of Lu Ke, who looked calm and calm.
Lu Ke spread his hands and said innocently, "You are a doctor, you should be excited; and I am an athlete, and the last thing I want is to deal with him."
Walter understood immediately, turned his head in disbelief, and then stared at the elevator door in front of him without saying a word.
One second, two seconds.
"But he is really a top authority figure." Walter couldn't hold back after all.
Lu Ke couldn't help but start to think about it, what if he met Peyton Manning...
