Now that this has already happened, Wei Guo still needs to make a phone call to confirm.
"beep..."
"beep..."
"beep..."
The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.
"He's probably asleep. My dad will call me back when he wakes up."
Wei Guo explained.
"Um..."
Britney leaned her head on Weiguo's shoulder. "I was thinking... if it weren't for your dad acquiring the company, we wouldn't have had to pay so much in breach of contract fees if we had taken this opportunity to terminate the contract."
"It must be true, there's no such thing as a coincidence in this world."
Wei Guo said, "I'll understand everything once my dad calls back."
sometimes...
Wei Dafa called Wei Guo, but Wei Guo didn't hear it, or Wei Guo called Wei Dafa, but Wei Dafa didn't hear it.
However, whenever they see their phones, they call back immediately.
......
That night, Wei Guo did not turn off his phone before going to bed.
As expected...
Around 2 a.m., Wei Dafa called, "Son, are you asleep?"
"I fell asleep early."
Wei Guo groggily picked up his phone, glanced at the time, and said, "It's already two in the morning."
"Sao Rui~ I always forget that we have a time difference."
"fine..."
Wei Guo asked, "Did you acquire Britney's company?"
“I paid for it, but your Uncle Zhang handled all the acquisition procedures. He has connections in the US... He's very efficient. We were busy until midnight yesterday with this.”
"Working until midnight?"
"Um...we drank until midnight, mainly to wait for news from the US. Fortunately, everything went smoothly."
"Alright, as long as we know it was you who acquired it."
“Son, you’ve grown up now, it’s time for you to take on the responsibilities of the family.”
Wei Dafa earnestly advised, "After I acquire this company, I will hand it over to you to manage."
“I have no interest in this matter.”
"Then let my future daughter-in-law manage it?"
"She probably isn't interested either..."
"As expected, your Uncle Zhang was right."
Wei Dafa sighed, "You young people are too lazy. I'll just hand this company over to professionals and then spare no expense to make my future daughter-in-law a superstar!"
"This... is fine."
"Then come back soon if you have nothing else to do, and bring your girlfriend with you."
"Okay, let's go back tomorrow."
Wei Guo yawned. "I'm going to sleep."
......
Britney was also woken up by the phone call. She rubbed her eyes and asked, "Did your dad really buy the company?"
"Yes."
Wei Guo pulled Britney into his arms. "Go to sleep. Don't worry about anything else."
Wei Guo was also shocked. This was the first time he had witnessed the strength of his family. They had acquired a company worth billions of dollars just like that.
No wonder David Wei said he could buy the entire NBA without any problem.
It seems...
This is absolutely not an exaggeration.
If Wei Guo had known his family was so rich, he should have learned to squander money from elementary school, instead of having to share an ice pop with his female classmate.
........
The next day, Wei Guo called both James and Curry.
I had promised these two that I would take them to China.
The parade was scheduled to last for several more days, but Wei Guo did not appear on the second day.
When Brown contacted Wei Guo, Wei Guo was already preparing to fly back to China, which made Brown extremely anxious, as he was about to talk to his boss about renewing Wei Guo's contract.
Brown told his boss that Wei Guo was going back to China.
The 76ers owner immediately made the decision to go to China and talk to Wei Guojia.
......
Weiguo was very happy on the plane back to China.
He also asked the flight attendant to bring him a bottle of red wine. As for Curry and James, they were a bit reserved, as this was their first time visiting China.
After boarding the plane...
Britney put on an eye mask to sleep; the flight was going to be a long one.
There weren't many passengers in first class. Wei Guo had just poured himself a glass of red wine when a man sitting next to him greeted him, "Wei Guo, do you remember me?"
"Who are you..."
Wei Guo thought for a moment and recognized the man, “Coach Gentry of the Clippers?”
"Yes, it's me!"
Gentry was delighted to be recognized by Wei Guo, saying, "Congratulations on winning the championship and becoming the Finals MVP."
Thank you~
Wei Guo thanked him and raised his wine glass, saying, "Shall we have a drink together?"
"No problem!"
Gentry also raised his glass, saying, "It's fate that we can fly together."
"Are you going to China?"
"Yes, I like this country. I travel to China every summer. The beef jerky your father gave me was delicious."
"Haha... My family raises cattle."
Wei Guo said modestly.
Gentry's words reminded Wei Guo that there seemed to be such a thing... Wei Dafa came to the United States to visit him, bringing a lot of local specialties. Coincidentally, there was a game against the Clippers at that time, and Wei Dafa even shared beef jerky with the Clippers players and coaches.
then...
Gentry and Wei Dafa got along quite well.
It seems... Wei Dafa invited Gentry to visit China? I wonder if those two still remember.
Wei Guo was thinking about this matter.
Gentry said, "I saw your father during the last away game and have missed him often since."
"You two... you've only met once, right?"
Wei Guo's face darkened.
There is a Chinese idiom.
Gentry said in broken Chinese, "Is that how it's called, Auntie?"
Instant connection?
That's roughly what Gentry meant.
Thinking that Wei Guo hadn't understood, Gentry translated, "It means that although the two are meeting for the first time, it's as if they've known each other for a long time."
Wei Guo said helplessly, "More or less, it's just that your pronunciation isn't very standard."
"I've just started learning Chinese..."
Gentry scratched his head. "Not very skilled yet."
"It's already very good."
Wei Guo offered a reluctant compliment.
Gentry asked, "Are you going home?"
"Um!"
Where do you live?
"Mongolia, prairie..."
“That’s wonderful! My first stop on my trip through China this year is the grasslands. I hope to visit your home.”
Welcome!
Wei Guo said politely, "I'll go straight home after I get off the plane. If you have time, you can come with me."
Gentry nodded immediately, “I have time! I have plenty of time! I didn’t have anything else to do in China anyway, so... I’ll take my leave.”
Wei Guo, "..."
Anyway, Wei Guo is very hospitable. In addition to Britney, Wei Guo also brought James and Curry, so he didn't add Gentry.
........
They still had more than ten hours to fly, so Wei Guo and Gentry chatted for half an hour.
The two reclined their chairs and lay down to rest.
......
The plane slowly descended, and finally, I could smell the air of China.
"call..."
Wei Guo took a deep breath, "Awesome!!!"
"Honey, what's wrong?"
Britney found Wei Guo's reaction somewhat strange.
"nothing..."
Wei Guo shook his head and said, "It's been a long time since I've felt this comfortable."
Gentry took a few deep breaths. "This feeling... is really wonderful."
Wei Guo, "???"
He felt great because he was back in the embrace of his motherland, but why did Gentry feel wonderful?
........
The plane landed, and Wei Guo and Britney walked off the plane hand in hand.
Behind him were... James, Curry, and Gentry.
There were originally many media reporters waiting at the airport to watch over Weiguo, but for some reason, they all left before the plane even landed.
Welcome home, Weiguo!
Wei Dafa stood at the international flight exit holding a sign.
"Dad..."
Wei Guo gave Wei Dafa a big hug, then secretly threw away the sign from Wei Dafa's hand and whispered, "I've told you several times, you only need to hold up a sign when picking up strangers!"
When Wei Guo was studying in the US, every time he returned to China, Wei Dafa would stand at the international flight exit holding a sign.
Wei Dafa and Wei Guo have known each other for over twenty years.
How much could Wei Dafa have changed? Could it be that Wei Guo doesn't recognize his father after just a few months?
Hello, Uncle!
Britney smiled sweetly and wanted to give Wei Dafa a hug as well.
Wei Dafa was so startled that he took a step back. "I'm not used to your Western etiquette. Let's go... let's go home."
Wei Dafa didn't notice James, Curry, Gentry, and others behind Wei Guo. There were quite a few American people when they got off the plane, and these three strangers standing behind Wei Guo were not conspicuous.
Once outside the airport...
Wei Dafa then noticed that the three men had been following them closely. He turned around and saw Gentry first, pointing at him and saying, "Aren't you that...that...that team's head coach?"
Gentry couldn't understand what Wei Dafa was saying, but he knew that Wei Dafa was talking to him.
and...
The expression on his face seemed to recognize him, and Gentry was a little excited. "I'm Gentry. I didn't expect you to recognize me!"
"What did he say?"
Wei Dafa turned to look at Wei Guo.
Wei Guo translated, "He said he was Gentry and was grateful that you recognized him."
"It's a little hard to recognize..."
Wei Dafa touched his nose. "These black people all look the same to me."
Hello, hello!
Hello, hello!
Gentry and Wei Dafa shook hands politely.
A Toyota Coaster was parked outside. Wei Guo knew it was there to pick him up, which was why he felt comfortable bringing Jin Terry along. Wei Guo usually traveled by Coaster or a super-large SUV.
He just likes big spaces...
Wei Dafa felt a bit cramped in his car, so whenever he needed to pick someone up, he would use a Coaster bus, along with a few other cars to clear the way.
........
It took about three hours to reach Wei's home.
The vast grassland stretches as far as the eye can see, dotted with herds of cattle and sheep... all enclosed by an exquisite fence, the length of which is conservatively estimated to be one or two hundred kilometers, meaning that the enclosed area covers several hundred square kilometers.
On the vast grasslands...
This area isn't very big; it's just a village, and only one family lives in this village—Wei Guojia lives here.
Inside were several luxurious yurts. After the Coaster stopped, Wei Dafa jumped down and said to James and Curry, "Kids, welcome to my home!"
James and Curry both looked at Wei Guo.
"My dad said, 'You're welcome to come to our home.'"
Wei Guo slapped his forehead. He should have brought a translator with him; otherwise, he would have to translate every single sentence.
"Thank you, Uncle!"
James and Curry were very polite.
After they got out of the car, James asked in surprise, "Brother, is this your home?"
"right..."
Wei Guo gestured around the area, saying, "This is my home, and there's a ranch outside."
This is where Weiguo lives. There are only grasslands, and the pastures are still outside. In fact, Weiguo doesn't spend much time at home. After starting elementary school, he went to the city to study with his mother and only came home during winter and summer vacations. Later, he went to Georgetown University to study. However, every time he came home, Weiguo felt much more cheerful.
There have been many changes at home.
Wei Guo drew a half circle with his finger and stopped in the direction of a building, asking, "Dad, what's that?"
Look at its shape, it looks like a stadium!
Wei Dafa said proudly, "This is a basketball court I built especially for you. My son is the best basketball player in the world."
"I'll go take a look!"
The basketball court caught Wei Guo's attention.
"Okay~"
Wei Dafa whistled and said, "Your uncles are all coming over tonight. After you've finished reading, tidy up and have dinner with them tonight."
"Da, da, da!"
As soon as Wei Dafa finished whistling, an exceptionally handsome white horse galloped over.
"Oh dear~ Oh dear~"
Upon seeing the State of Wei, the white horse excitedly reared up and then rushed over to nuzzle the State of Wei.
"Old Bai!!!"
Wei Guo put his arms around the white horse's neck and then mounted it.
"Darling, I'll take you horseback riding!"
Wei Guo, mounted on his horse, grabbed Britney's hand and lifted her onto the horse's back with a slight pull.
With his left arm around Britney's slender waist and his right hand holding the reins, he spurred the horse's flanks with a powerful thrust, "Giddy up!"
Galloping on horseback!
This was Britney's first time riding a horse, and she excitedly spread her arms wide.
........
Wei Guo rode away on horseback with Britney.
The remaining four looked at each other, unsure of what to do. James, Curry, Gentry, and Wei Dafa looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Do you speak Chinese?
Wei Da asked a question.
James and his three companions looked completely bewildered.
"Looks like they won't say..."
Wei Dafa muttered to himself, "So uncultured!"
With Wei Guo gone, there's no way to communicate anymore. Wei Dafa then looked at the Coaster driver, "Old Wang, can you speak English?"
"I don't know how..."
Old Wang said, "I only have a junior high school education, as you know."
"How uncultured!"
Wei Dafa retorted to Lao Wang.
Old Wang retorted, not to be outdone, "You think you're so cultured? If you're so cultured, why can't you speak English?"
"I'm too lazy to learn!"
Wei Dafa snorted and instructed Lao Wang, "Call everyone in the family out and ask if anyone understands English!"
........
These past few days, Weiguo's mother has been attending a meeting in Yanjing.
Moreover, Wei Guo's grandparents and maternal grandparents also lived in Yanjing. They would often come to the Great Grassland for a short stay, but only Wei Dafa lived there permanently.
