Chapter 300: The business card of internal rolling!

"Happy New Year's Eve!"

When Fan Xi woke up in his own bed, he received a text message from Yao Ming. Chairman Yao asked for leave to return to Houston. He didn't have his own house in Los Angeles. He had been renting. His family still lived in Houston, and there, he and his team had many businesses... In fact, this was also one of the reasons why he didn't choose to join the Lakers after his rookie season ended.

Fan Xi raised his eyebrows.

He got up from the bed. He didn't feel any difference between today and yesterday, it was just an ordinary Friday... Oh, by the way, no need to go to the training camp today.

Yesterday DeAndre Jordan was still joking, really thank us for having a Chinese boss.

Fan Xi got up to get some breakfast, and then he lay on the sofa and was in a daze for a while.

He felt some hidden loneliness invading his thinking, and he couldn't focus on thinking about how to deal with the Lakers tomorrow night.

People are emotional animals.

Fan Xi lay there, and the scene of the whole family reuniting when he was a child, and he and his cousins setting off firecrackers, couldn't help but appear in his mind. The corners of his mouth naturally revealed some smiles.

Then, it became sentimental again.

Can't go back.

People are often fragile at this time. So Fan Xi even took out his mobile phone. He wanted to make a phone call to a good friend to chat, but he didn't know who to call.

Simply turn on the TV.

Time Warner TV is reporting the lively scene in Chinatown. Fan Xi thought, should he also run to Chinatown to eat a hot pot... but once he thought about running to eat hot pot alone, would it be more boring and lonely?

So, he changed the channel.

Then he saw Ron Artest talking eloquently on TV.

"... The probability of the Lakers winning is 100%. The biggest difference between a giant and a nouveau riche is that the giant will win 99 times and will win until the end, while the nouveau riche will win at most one game."

"They have no strength to compete with us at all. We can blow them up from all dimensions. Jack doesn't even understand pick-and-roll now. I feel the media blew him up too much."

"I have never seen a superstar who doesn't have the ability to play mid-range singles with the ball, and I have never seen a super point guard who is not good at playing pick-and-roll."

"He got honors that shouldn't belong to him, he will soon be beaten back to his original shape..."

Fan Xi changed the channel. When he heard the cliché of 'beaten back to his original shape', his ears were calloused.

Happy New Year, don't want to listen to these messy things.

Fan Xi simply jumped to the paid movie channel and started watching Transformers.

This

Fan Xi's eyes were fixed on this movie he had already watched several times, but his mind was pondering the words Artest had said. Indeed, how was he going to handle the game tomorrow night?

This was a significant problem placed before him.

The current Lakers are like a hexagonal warrior; under normal circumstances, the Lakers are almost invincible. The only flaw in their starting lineup is Ron Artest, who has been spouting nonsense on television. The other four players will all be selected for this year's All-Star game, and their chemistry is quite good.

Just as Fan Xi was staring at the screen, lost in thought, ding-dong!

His doorbell rang.

Fan Xi walked over to open the door, and he saw Taylor Swift carrying big bags and small bags.

"Super big surprise! Jack!!"

"Happy New Year."

Taylor said with extra excitement: "You didn't expect it, did you? I actually came to see you at this time. You must have thought that because I haven't been in touch with you for the past two days, I was giving you the cold shoulder. Haha, I'm going to show you my skills today, Jack. I've learned how to make dumplings, and also some techniques for cooking Chinese food. Just wait, today will definitely be the most wonderful Spring Festival of your life."

Taylor's arrival brought Fan Xi intense joy.

He couldn't help but walk over to hug Taylor and give her a kiss.

"Oh! Jack, I have to prepare lunch."

After Taylor took off her down jacket, she carried the bags into the kitchen. While passing through the living room, she frowned and teased Jack: "Hey, are you watching Megan Fox's movie because she said at the Oscars that she was willing to give you money?"

This made Fan Xi very embarrassed, and he quickly explained: "It's not like that, I just happened to see it."

"Alright, I won't listen to your explanation. I know that you can't argue today, according to Chinese tradition. Besides, I wouldn't really mind this matter; Megan Fox doesn't have as much money as I do, and who would choose Megan Fox over me?"

Taylor confidently carried the bags into the kitchen.

Fan Xi turned his head and saw Megan Fox in the movie just fixing a car by the side of the road; the director filmed her very gracefully. Clearly, in terms of sexiness, Fox got extra points.

Fan Xi walked back to the sofa to find the remote control, wanting to change the TV channel to Animal World.

However, before he could even get the remote, he heard the doorbell again.

Fan Xi walked over.

It was almost like a copy-paste.

Scarlett Johansson arrived at the room carrying big and small bags.

"Super big surprise, Jack!"

"Happy New Year."

"Didn't expect it, did you, Jack? You must think I'm in Miami or Orlando promoting my new movie right now. But I returned to Los Angeles overnight yesterday. I wouldn't let you spend the Spring Festival all alone; this is the most important festival for us Chinese people. Haha. I'm going to show you my skills right away, and you'll soon know my craftsmanship as a Chinese wife. I'm going to make you Kung Pao Chicken and Red-Braised Lion's Head."

What Scarlett said was much the same as Taylor's.

Fan Xi hugged her mechanically and kissed her.

After Scarlett took off her down jacket, she carried the bags into the kitchen. While passing through the living room, she turned her head with a frown and teased Fan Xi: "Hey, Jack. Don't tell me you're a fan of Megan Fox? That damn woman has been fighting for resources with me; I'm the same type of actress as her. If you have a scandal with her, I won't be able to stand it..."

Uh...

Fan Xi shrugged; he now had an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

But even greater was the panic; he didn't know what would happen if Scarlett and Swift met in the kitchen.

Damn it, there are tons of knives in there; they wouldn't hack each other, would they?

Ding-dong!

Fan Xi was just about to go to the kitchen to check.

The doorbell rang again.

Opening the door, Selena walked in carrying big and small bags.

Fan Xi was already able to anticipate the answer: "Oh, Selena, is this a surprise for me?"

"Yes, honey. I wouldn't let you spend the Spring Festival all alone. I specifically asked for leave. Today I will definitely show you my skills and let you know what level my research on Chinese food has reached recently."

Selena said proudly, then she hugged Fan Xi, and Fan Xi kissed her.

Then, Selena hung up her down jacket and carried the bags into the kitchen. While passing through the living room, before she could speak, Fan Xi took the lead and turned off the TV.

He didn't want Selena to express any more opinions.

"Nice movie, but I think we should watch Jackie Chan's comedy action movies later. I love him so much."

Selena walked into the kitchen with a smile.

Fan Xi followed her.

When he walked into the kitchen, Taylor Swift was still in an awkward standoff with Scarlett Johansson. They were standing there, both looking at each other with incredible eyes, and then Selena joined in.

Triple confusion.

Taylor Swift was still holding a Zhang Xiaoquan kitchen knife, the kind that can smash garlic.

Fan Xi was incredibly nervous.

He was already prepared to rush over and stop them if a conflict broke out.

But just then, after being stunned for a long while, Taylor Swift said: "Happy New Year."

She showed a smile, although it was a bit forced.

However, Scarlett also quickly returned a smile: "Happy New Year!"

"Happy New Year!"

Selena also joined in.

They were as polite as if they were meeting for the first time, a politeness that even carried a hint of wariness between "sisters-in-law."

Very spectacular.

However, in the end, Chinese rules conquered everything. "How can you argue on New Year's Eve?" The new year must be harmonious and beautiful.

This is the power of traditional culture.

This wave of cultural export won big.

Fan Xi wiped the sweat from his forehead.

He said, "Do you want me to help out?"

"No! You just sit there, I will prepare the most authentic Chinese food for you," Taylor Swift said quickly.

The other two girls meant the same thing.

They started to compete internally.

Fan Xi returned to the living room; the Transformers on TV could no longer attract him at all.

His current feeling was very strange: fifteen minutes ago he was lamenting that New Year's Eve was too lonely, and now he felt it was a bit noisy.

But at the same time, he also thought... this really seemed to have a bit of family warmth.

When he was very young, he had never imagined what his future family life would be like; now it seems like this... is not impossible.

He squinted his eyes and suddenly thought: Jenner wouldn't come over, would she?

Jenner's call came through; she expressed very Chinese-style blessings to Fan Xi on the phone. She wished Fan Xi a happy New Year's Eve and also wished Fan Xi good luck and great wealth in the New Year... all said in Chinese.

Full of sincerity.

In the matter of becoming a Chinese daughter-in-law, they are all serious.

If Fan Xi's mother were here, she would definitely be very happy.

Three Hollywood female stars were busy in the kitchen all morning, clattering and filled with cooking fumes. They are usually too lazy to even make Western food, so one can imagine how it went with Chinese food.

However, what Fan Xi didn't expect was.

At lunch, 12 dishes were actually served.

And each dish was different; although they didn't look as good as a master chef's, they were really quite something.

Fan Xi couldn't help but take out his phone and take a picture.

He thanked the three of them with his most sincere words and expressed that this was his happiest day.

Then these three duchesses began to compete; they all demanded that Fan Xi taste their own craftsmanship, and hoped he would taste theirs first.

Facing the three picky contestants, Fan Xi finally chose to decide the order of eating based on the alphabetical order of their names.

He first tasted Taylor Swift's Buddha Jumps Over the Wall; she introduced that she learned it from the most authentic Cantonese chef in Chinatown. Fan Xi tasted it; this Cantonese chef must have lived in the United States for a long time, as it had a hint of sweetness.

However, it was very delicious.

Fan Xi gave a thumbs up and praised, "This is the best Buddha Jumps Over the Wall I have ever eaten."

Then, it was Selena's pork rib and corn soup. Fan Xi tasted it; it was also very delicious, although it also had a hint of sweetness.

But, life should be sweet, shouldn't it?

Fan Xi's praise was very on point.

Then it was Scarlett's Red-Braised Lion's Head, which was very flavorful.

Fan Xi ate very happily; he said it had the taste of the high school cafeteria, reminding him of his student days.

Scarlett was extremely happy; she felt this was the highest praise for the night. In the eyes of Westerners, being able to make a diner recall the past is definitely on point. But only Chinese people know what a high school cafeteria means.

"I will always be your high school girl," Scarlett said very gently.

Once she made this confession, Taylor and Selena on the side couldn't take it.

"I'm younger, I'm your forever ninth-grade girl," Scarlett said.

There weren't many grades left for Selena; Selena was smart, and she came up with a unique idea: "I am the girl who will stay by your side forever."

Uh, one is stronger than the other.

Fan Xi felt... this style was a bit off.

But inexplicably, this competition made him feel very satisfied.

He couldn't help but be happy.

Who wouldn't want this?

After eating, Fan Xi went to wash the dishes.

Although the big stars learned to cook for love, they probably hadn't touched the job of washing dishes.

Fan Xi would rather wash dishes than sit in the living room and watch Transformers with them.

Fan Xi washed dishes for an hour and a half; it was the most careful and cleanest he had ever washed dishes.

When he came out, he saw a very harmonious scene; the three of them were actually leaning together watching a horror movie.

Oh!

A damn sense of harmony.

Fan Xi held his forehead.

When they realized Fan Xi had walked over, they proposed something Fan Xi hadn't expected.

"Let's play mahjong. I saw you have a mahjong machine here before; Chen Ye bought it, right?"

Scarlett suggested.

Fan Xi was truly surprised; it was already strange enough that they learned to cook Chinese food for him.

Mahjong?

"I heard that Chinese mothers-in-law all like to play mahjong," Swift said straightforwardly.

So, this was to take the high-level route.

Fan Xi raised his eyebrows; if Fan's mother were standing here, she would definitely be very happy. During holidays, Fan's mother likes to play mahjong very much. It's just that her mahjong skills aren't very good, and she loses quite a bit.

But it doesn't matter; if Fan's mother plays mahjong now, she will definitely win.

After all, these Hollywood female stars can even learn Chinese food and mahjong.

Can't they learn to play business mahjong?

Even if Fan's mother doesn't know how to play at all, she can still win applause!
