Anderson-Strathmore worked hard for nearly six months and finally became Lu Ke's financial planner. This also became an important turning point in Anderson's career.
In Anderson's words, Lu Ke clearly knows what he is doing and the life he hopes to have in the future. This is really rare for professional players. Instead, he has the top financial and business people on Wall Street in New York. demeanor - just a little more conservative in investing, which is both a good thing and a bad thing for the work of financial planners, who can easily convince clients to make investments but don't have much room for creativity.
But what is more important is Lu Ke's attitude towards life.
Lu Ke's investment philosophy is becoming a role model for more people. Other players in the San Francisco 49ers have said that they have no idea about their own property, but seeing Lu Ke managing his property in this way, they subconsciously feel, "Smart people make the right choices." Therefore, several players such as Logan, Marcus, Rupati and Gene followed Lu Ke's footsteps and handed over their wages to Anderson. I heard that The same goes for Stephen Curry and JJ Watt.
Anderson built his career with little effort. Not only that, Lu Ke has now become the most important celebrity in San Francisco, and Anderson's reputation has also expanded within the industry, and the subsequent effects are incalculable.
Aldon also had a relationship with Anderson, but he didn't listen carefully at all, because his wealth was basically unmanaged, and Wallace was the nominal account manager. He once thought that he and Wallace could never break up, and that the bond of trust between them was irreplaceable; but now, things were different.
Maybe he needs to re-plan his career.
Standing in front of Lu Ke's house, Aldon couldn't help but take a closer look. He was surrounded by tall pine trees and dwarf lilacs. He used a small garden to cover the windows and glass passages of the house, avoiding reporters and fans. The gaze that stays outside the door is not as tightly wrapped as the estates of Hollywood stars in Beverly Hills, nor is it completely separated from other residences on the road.
The building among the green trees reveals brick red exterior walls and pitch black eaves. Smoke gray curtains and stone gray shutters can be vaguely seen. Bright brown wooden floors and black and white textured marble are faintly revealed. It is simple and elegant. The design reveals a touch of warmth.
Aldong actually couldn't remember the last time he came to Lu Ke's house. It should have been during his rookie season. The only thing that was certain was that at that time, Lu Ke had not bought the house next door, and the two houses had not been connected. He just I had only heard about it occasionally within the team; now that I had finally seen it with my own eyes, I couldn't help but feel a little envy deep in my heart, but Aldon himself didn't understand where this envy came from——
He has a more luxurious mansion than this, doesn't he? After the draft was over, he and Wallace couldn't wait to squander it all after receiving the first signing bonus. They spent it on luxury houses, cars and parties, and really enjoyed life; but now, in addition to parties, he is also interested in family. The memory is just a blur.
Thinking about it seriously, Aldon couldn't remember where his salary and bonuses were spent. It seemed like they just... disappeared?
Involuntarily, the focus of his eyes focused again and fell on the house in front of him. The memories of his rookie season came to life again - the projector in the living room, the floor-to-ceiling windows that allowed the sun to fully enter, the gym in the small room next to it, and the plug-in. A large refrigerator full of healthy food.
Aldon himself didn't even realize that he found the "taste of home" here. It was not luxurious, but a little messy; it was not luxurious, but full of life; it was not enjoyable, but it was closely related to Lu Ke's life. Living here is the starting point of daily life, not an empty and vast space filled with countless strangers. After Aldon wakes up drunk, the first thought in his mind is often: Where is this? But such a thing could never happen here.
So why did he come here?
Shouldn't he be heading to the training ground? Shouldn't he be calm and collected? Shouldn't he be worried about Willis? But why did he come to Lu Ke's house unconsciously?
Today is a rest day. Lu Ke and Candice should be enjoying their leisure time, or they may be going back to their parents' house - Lu Zhengze and Jiang Youning. Aldong has awakened his memory again. Before Lu Ke moved in his rookie season, their group of people The first grade students often gathered at Lu Ke's parents' house to study the tactical manual. Jiang Youning would always bake all kinds of cookies, pastries and Chinese steamed buns so that they, the strong men, would never go hungry.
He missed that time.
Aldon thought for a while, he felt that it would be better for him to leave and not disturb Lu Ke's rest day; but with this thought in his mind, he could not start the engine again in actual actions, and finally arrived at the door of his house by accident. When he realized He had already rang the doorbell before.
"Who's there?" came a voice on the intercom.
Ardong was stunned - this was not Lu Ke's voice. He looked around in panic. Could it be that he had found the wrong door? "Uh, I'm Aldon Smith, and I'm looking for Lu Ke's home..." Aldon couldn't turn around and said hesitantly, "Am I looking in the wrong place?"
The next second, the door opened, and then Aldonjiu saw Rupati's honest face, "Hey, Aldon."
Aldon became even more surprised and looked at Rupati with a look of astonishment on his face, "You...why are you here? Where is Bambi?"
Rupati was not good at words and did not explain too much. He just gestured towards the inside and said, "Are you ready to come in?" After a pause, he added, "You did not find the wrong address."
Aldon just walked in in a daze. The decoration in front of him still hasn't changed much. The projector has been officially hung on the ceiling. The surrounding environment has become more warm and private. The cushions and cushions scattered around the sofa were originally The sofa blocks have disappeared, and now there are only some pillows thrown there casually. Fashion magazines and movie Blu-ray discs can also be seen on the coffee table, and the traces left by Candice can be vaguely captured.
"Everyone is next door." Rupati explained awkwardly, "This is Bambi's private residence now. Tangtang spent a lot of effort to organize it properly. Annie also comes here often; we all go directly from next door. Enter through the gate, and occasionally come here to look for food or tools."
There were some incoherent explanations, and the connection between the words had no context at all, but Aldon still understood it. However, he couldn't say anything, and he didn't know how to express the questions in his mind. They just accumulated one after another, and in the end he could only follow Rupati's footsteps and continue to move forward.
Turn along the left hand side, leave the entire beige-based space, and enter a glass plank road. There is not much sunshine in San Francisco today, but you can still see the city scenery on the right and the Bay Area coastline on the far side, just like Alice in Wonderland. Generally, we went through the rabbit hole, and then entered another bright space with a light gray tone.
"It's actually you? We were making a bet just now about whether Anne came over?" Crabtree sat on the low sofa at the entrance, raised his head, raised his right hand, and high-fived Aldon, his tone He said casually, sitting next to him was Vernon Davis, who hadn't practiced with the team for a long time, and Garrett Selleck, who was a little reserved.
Seeing Aldon, Selleck stood up in a panic, but was pushed down by the shoulder of Jonathan Goodwin who was passing by. "Every time someone shows up, you stand up to greet him? Are you tired? It's your rule It's more like Eastern etiquette. Did you study the Chinese way of being a guest just to be a guest here? Bambi won't mind this, just relax."
Not far away, diagonally to the left, you can see Ted Ginn and Donte Witler arguing about the wide receiver's running route and the cornerback's early blocking route. The two men casually moved toward Aldon. After nodding his head, he continued to argue without any pause in his words. His expression was completely focused, but the content of the argument was almost like a heavenly book. This route and that route made people dizzy.
Alex Boone and Ahmed Brooks stood across the path of Aldon. The two were arguing about the offensive and defensive tactics of a certain offensive slogan. What "Bambi said such tactics are not necessary" Thinking too much about words such as "prejudging in advance is the core" and "the task of the offensive line is to adjust according to the quarterback", I didn't notice Aldon's appearance at all.
Then among the bustling crowd, Aldon saw Justin Smith sitting silently on the couch, his expression revealing a sense of loneliness, his eyes absent-mindedly flipping through the tactical manual in his hand, but he was not reading it seriously at all; in the kitchen You can also hear the sound of bottles colliding. Although you can't see the picture, you can still imagine a group of strong men looking for food in the kitchen, which should be somewhat similar to the scene of a rhinoceros drinking water.
Navarro Bowman came out from somewhere behind and put his arm around Aldon's shoulders. Aldon was startled, but Navarro didn't care at all and suppressed Aldon with great force. Aldon's action, "Mike, thank you for opening the door." Then he followed Aldon's line of sight and explained briefly, "Justin still can't accept Patrick's injury. You know, his own injury has been getting better. Times are bad. We have no way to persuade him now, we can only ask him to divert his attention."
The amount of information was really too much, and Aldon really didn’t know where to start, “Where is Bambi?”
