"Contracting the entire island? Oh, could it be that Bambi has signed a new endorsement? This is a real big deal."
Jay is indeed a working professional reporter, and his understanding of Logan and Lu Ke is even better. In just a few words, he smelled the news - it was probably a big news, and he blurted it out as a conditioned reflex, but , his way of expression is relatively casual, just a casual chat between friends.
Lu Ke chuckled, neither denying nor affirming, but answered vaguely, "There are endorsements being negotiated, but they haven't been finalized yet. We won't know until the end of the season. Lech doesn't want to affect the playoffs." In preparation for the war, all negotiations and transactions were suppressed. I don’t know the specific situation. When these guys saw TMZ’s gossip, they all started to get excited.”
TMZ report?
Isn’t that just a fight between the gods of Pepsi and Coca-Cola?
According to TMZ rumors, Laich is not very interested in Lu Ke accepting fast food endorsements because it does not fit well with Lu Ke's business brand image. He is currently negotiating brand cooperation for perfume, customized suits, headphones, chocolate, coffee, etc. Lu Ke's business empire is being built step by step.
Obviously, fast food is not a part of Lech's plan; however, as the number one superstar with the most commercial value in the North American market, his influence is overtaking LeBron James, and even in the global market, thanks to his backing The huge Chinese market, and Lu Ke's commercial value has also surged into the top five in the world. This makes PepsiCo unable to give up easily. They are preparing a contract to create history, and Coca-Cola's competition has made this even more difficult. The competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and it has been hailed as "Godzilla vs. King Kong" by TMZ.
Even leaving aside the two "gods", the commercial endorsement projects Leh is negotiating have already reached double digits - not just any small business, but based on top brands around the world, all of which are It indicates that Lu Ke is creating incredible history.
Jay and Emily's eyes lit up slightly.
"However, I told them that if we can successfully defend the title this year, what's the problem with contracting the island? Regardless of whether the endorsement negotiation is successful or not, I can directly make the decision and let our entire team go on a collective vacation; just, before defending the title , it’s best to shut up on all these topics to avoid distractions. Right now, Seattle is the most important! Obviously, someone forgot my instructions again and couldn’t help but talk too much.”
Lu Ke turned around and glared at Logan fiercely, severely reprimanding Logan for not doing his job properly; then Logan immediately raised his hands to express surrender, widened his eyes to emphasize his innocence, and even shrank his head and backed away slightly. Retreat, as if Lu Ke would transform into Godzilla at any time, and that look made people laugh.
Emily also smiled again, "I'm sorry, I was a little impulsive and said inappropriate words, but I really didn't mean any harm." Emily sincerely gestured to Lu Ke and Logan with a conscious gesture. He paused for a moment, as if asking for their forgiveness, then looked at Jay, also expressed his apology, and then continued, "We are all looking forward to you being able to successfully defend your title. This should be the case for the entire Bay Area." Hope."
Everyone laughed, and the scene just now was revealed.
Lu Ke lightly shrugged, "Don't put too much pressure on us, otherwise we might just explode." The joke made the laughter more cheerful.
"How is it? How is the preparation for the game now? I heard that Patrick Willis and Ted Ginn have returned from injury. Is this true?" Emily asked with a smile.
Lu Ke raised his gaze and glanced at Emily.
Because this is a sensitive topic, although the return of Willis and Gene cannot be said to be a trade secret, Hubble still hopes that they can keep a low profile. On the one hand, do not place too much hope on the injured. After returning from injury, their condition is still not good. To be sure, try to avoid putting too much pressure on them; on the other hand, to prevent the Seattle Seahawks from inquiring into the team's preparations, the main lineup still needs to maintain some mystery.
In addition, the team is currently dealing with other minor injuries and illnesses. Although it will not affect the appearance, fluctuations in status are inevitable.
In order to reduce pressure and maintain confidentiality, Hubble issued a hush-hush order on both the inside and outside of the team, and kept silent about the team's injuries.
Now that Emily mentioned Willis and Gene again, Lu Ke became sensitive immediately. However, after taking a closer look, he found that Emily had no special expression and seemed to just ask the question casually. He must have thought too much, so Lu Ke smiled and said, "Let us pray that we can have a complete lineup when we go to Seattle."
There was no direct answer, but a vague word. Then Lu Ke changed the subject, "Jay, you haven't told us how you and Emily got together. What's special about you after graduation?" Will we meet again by chance? Wait, or did it start before graduation?"
Looking at Lu Ke's meaningful gaze, Jay repeatedly waved his hands to deny, "No, no, we only developed after graduation. Speaking of which, are you still our Cupid?" Jay turned his head and looked at Emily, a smile appeared on her face, glowing with happiness.
"Me? Why don't I know?" Lu Ke's eyes widened and he was really confused.
Jay also laughed, "Dear, do you say it or should I say it? The story of our meeting again..." He cast an affectionate look at Emily.
Emily spread the napkin on the table and placed it on her lap, "Bambi, I understand that some situations may need to be kept secret, but the photos of Patrick and Ted returning to the team's training base have been taken. What else can't be said? Why do you still pretend to be mysterious? This is the age of social networks, and mysticism has long been outdated. What we are asking now is not about tactical secrets, but about injuries. I don't quite understand. , why can’t you take care of Jay? He needs these exclusives! Aren’t you friends?”
"Emily!" Jay's face suddenly became ugly.
"I can't help it anymore!" Logan had been silent just now. He was obviously unhappy and was only enduring it for Jay's sake, but now he has given up. "I also don't understand why you are holding on to these things. ?Bambi has just said it. It can be said that we are all willing to be the first to tell Jay. Didn’t Bambi deny the rumors about TMZ? If you have the ability, just keep digging. Why are you here? Are you always making things difficult for us? We don’t say it because we can’t say it. Why don’t you stop talking? It’s so annoying!”
Logan's temper was also rising now, and his sentences were a little fluent, but the meaning was still expressed clearly, "Jay, I'm sorry, I really can't bear it anymore. Is this how you view Bambi and me? Bad friends?" Don’t want to give you an exclusive? Are you maintaining our relationship just for the sake of exclusivity? I didn’t want to say it at first, but you haven’t asked us to get together for nearly a year. Bambi and I asked you for a drink last Halloween, and you But he said he had something to do and invited us here today. I thought it was just a gathering of brothers, but here we are again, who do you think we are!"
"Friends? Jay treats you as a friend. Do you treat Jay as a friend?" Emily couldn't bear her temper anymore and said forcefully and directly, "Do you know how difficult Jay's situation is? He's not I don’t want to contact you, but you are so superior that you are simply incomparable, okay?”
"Jay, who is talking now? Can her opinion replace yours? Her thoughts are your thoughts? Is this how you view us?" Logan didn't stop at all, staring at Jay relentlessly. , "So, this is an ugly idea?" He also wanted to hear Jay admit it in class.
Emily did not give Jay a chance and cut off again, "Let me tell you the truth. Jay thinks you are brothers, so he never told you: He is in a very difficult situation at the Los Angeles Times. Bambi's news, He has never gotten an exclusive, but he still insists on reporting on the San Francisco line. The editor is not willing to trust him at all. There are no exclusives and no special topics. His connections are of no use at all. Now the Los Angeles team is ostracizing him, and the San Francisco team is ostracizing him. Laughing at him, let alone the opportunity for promotion, he even couldn’t get the opportunity to write a manuscript.”
"You guys living in the ivory tower, do you know that Jay may be eliminated at any time? This dinner tonight may cost him two weeks of salary! And you are still calling yourself his brother in vain, but You have never helped him, so why do you blame him? Ridiculous! You keep talking about brothers, but you are the most selfish! Don't you feel ashamed? "
"As friends, you have never really helped Jay. You actually have the nerve to eat and drink here in the name of 'brother'? Don't you feel ashamed? I feel disgusted. It's really disgusting! You are now You are hurting Jay, don’t you feel any guilt at all?”
"What good are friends if they can't help each other? You're even more boring than the next door neighbor's dog!"
Layers of attacks were unleashed like this. Logan was shocked by Emily's powerful momentum. Jay drooped his shoulders in despair, but Lu Ke never spoke. In the end, only Ai was left. Millie burst out all her resentment and anger.
As a child, I was always willing to believe that some things will never change, just like love, just like friendship; but in real life, I slowly discovered that eternity is a variable, and maybe some things will never change, but more often , things are always changing.
This is called... the world of adults, a cruel and boring world, a terrible world without dreams, expectations, and passion.
