Chapter 612: Even benefiting the masses cannot suppress the matter in one's heart

The Korean people's vague expectations for Fan Xi eventually turned into the flames of war in the presidential suite of the Hilton Hotel in Seoul.

The sturdy floor made creaking sounds.

Fan Xi is a tough guy.

This is true in every aspect.

Fan Xi doesn't mind letting Yun'er bear his child; the more debts, the less worry.

Fan Xi has already rolled up his sleeves.

In Korea, events always revolve around this topic; Korea closely follows American trends, and their biggest gossip domestically is about Fan Xi being with those American female stars, and whether Jennifer's child looks more like Jennifer or Jieke Fan. Most importantly, when will Yun'er give birth to a Thus we include: English for the Korean national team?

Fan Xi was lucky to only stay here for two days and two nights, otherwise he would have been annoyed to death.

After leaving Korea, Fan Xi returned to domestic; his tour started from the south, he held training camps in southern cities and launched many business activities.

Fan Xi is always non-stop during the off-season, he hardly has any rest. So he declined this year's Asian Games, believing the national team could easily handle Asia's competitions.

The national team had big disagreements over summoning Fan Xi; one part of the basketball association leadership insisted he must come to stabilize the lineup, while the other thought domestic players should bear the burden. In the end, the latter persuaded the former.

Another reason is that Fan Xi is not a player trained by the domestic youth system, so they also feel embarrassed to strongly summon him.

Regarding Fan Xi not being selected for the national team, domestic fans are somewhat worried.

Now Yao Ming has retired, Fan Xi did not participate. Can this group of young guys on the national team hold up the men's basketball gold medal? They won gold at the 2012 Olympics; if they lose at the Asian Games, that would really be embarrassing.

Fan Xi went to Lantau Island to visit the men's basketball team in training; the teammates trained extremely hard.

This national team cohort used many post-90s players, most of whom had done special training in Los Angeles.

Fan Xi used the Clippers' training system to help domestic youths grow and improve, almost for free. Cultivating reserve strength for the national men's basketball team, Fan Xi made great efforts.

Fan Xi's arrival made the national training team members very excited. In the minds of domestic basketball players, Fan Xi's status is equivalent to a god!

As the strongest Chinese basketball player in history, one could even say the strongest basketball player in history.

Fan Xi receiving this respect is only natural.

Fan Xi participated in the training without pretension. He guided the players' technical movements, especially ball handling and passing-cut coordination. If Fan Xi were a head coach, he would surely be the most meticulous about details.

Although Fan Xi's requested content is largely the same as the coaching staff's, his teaching effect is much better.

Because Fan Xi is obviously more authoritative than the coaching staff.

Moreover, Fan Xi also satisfied three players' applications for a one-on-one showdown to redress their grievances.

In everyone's envious gaze.

Fan Xi slaughtered those three brave national team members.

Fan Xi used the simplest method: triple threat, stop-and-go jump shot, and turnaround jump shot.

These are considered Fan Xi's weakest scoring methods in the NBA, but when used against Asian players, they are still a dimensionality-reducing blow.

Fan Xi conquered the entire training camp.

Everyone truly realized from the one-on-just how terrifying Fan Xi is.

This boosted everyone's training enthusiasm and pointed out their training direction.

Believing this trip to Incheon will bring the men's basketball team a bountiful harvest.

…

Hangzhou is a beautiful city; just hearing its name gives one a feeling of paradise on earth.

Fan Xi at this moment can't seem to feel happy.

He will meet his parents here; his parents came here to attend an entrepreneur summit. It's fortunate that their schedules overlap, so it's even better to stay at the same hotel.

During this period, Fan Xi's parents almost entirely handed over the company's affairs to professional managers, focusing all their thoughts on how to make Liu Yifei happier, and how to become excellent grandparents.

They did quite well, every day full of joy and hope.

But when they saw Fan Xi in the evening, they didn't ask whether their son had eaten; instead, they put on stern faces, and Fan Dad sternly questioned Fan Xi: "Tell us now, did you have a son in the United States? He's already over one year old."

Fan Xi's heart skipped a beat. He involuntarily panicked; this feeling reminded him of when he did something bad as a child and came home to find his dad already holding a belt, waiting for him.

A nightmare-like pressure once again occupied Fan Xi's heart.

After staying silent for twenty or thirty seconds, he found his father had not pulled out a Seven Wolves from his waistband.

He slightly relaxed his breath.

Then he made an effort to take deep breaths, adjusting his emotions.

At this moment, his parents were also adjusting their emotions. They were like the anxious wait when checking college entrance exam scores online by entering the admission ticket number, full of anticipation and also full of worry.

Is this result what they wanted?

Fan Xi said: "Yes, I have a child in the United States. His name is Troy, Troy Fan! He likes football very much, he is very lively, he once even appeared on the sidelines of the field, but back then nobody thought..."

Fan Xi said this, and he noticed his mother screaming.

Fan Mom circled around Fan Dad three times, then punched him three times. She pulled out several photos of Troy on the scene from her bag: "You say he doesn't look like, you say he doesn't look like. I myself gave birth to this son; I don't know what he looked like as a child? I've long said this kid looks exactly like Xixi did as a child!!!

Fan Dad scratched the back of his head.

"Besides, when did Fan Xi learn to drink? When I see him drinking on TV, I know he definitely has something on his mind. He can fool others, but he can't fool his old mom." Fan Mom's IQ has always been higher than Fan Dad's; she is a true strong woman.

When initially negotiating with Nike, she also took the lead.

"Quickly let me see my grandson." Fan Mom turned her head and hurriedly asked Fan Xi.

Fan Xi took out his phone and showed Fan Dad and Fan Mom many growth videos of Troy.

The old couple watched, laughing so hard they couldn't close their mouths; then Fan Mom wiped tears and complained: "You kid, why didn't you tell us earlier? What's the point of keeping it from us?"

Fan Xi scratched his head and said: "This is an accident; I myself didn't know."

"You've already had a child, how can it still be an accident?" Fan Dad glared at Fan Xi.

Fan Xi felt helpless. This really is an accident; when the child was born, he wasn't conscious, he truly wasn't conscious.

"No matter what, we need to move the child's household registration back." Fan Dad decided: "Moreover, we want them, mother and child, to find time to come back once, open the ancestral hall, and recognize the ancestors and return to the clan."

Fan Xi lowered his head.

After a while, Jennifer happened to make a video call.

After Fan Xi answered, Jennifer said over there: Troy misses his dad.

Fan Xi quickly told her the situation here, and Jennifer quickly had Troy come over to say hello. Troy can speak We need to output lines: English, he used standard words to call grandpa and grandma.

This made Fan's dad and mom extremely happy.

They were overjoyed, waving their arms and kicking their legs; the two successful businesspeople made various funny faces at the phone to amuse the child.

Fan Xi instead became a human phone stand.

The video call lasted an hour.

Fan Xi kept yawning repeatedly.

Finally, the call ended only when Troy cried that he wanted to take a bath.

Before ending the call, Fan's dad also invited Jennifer to return to Zhongguo to honor ancestors.

Jennifer is an overseas big star, but she didn't hesitate and readily agreed. She also said she would follow their schedule.

They gave full respect both inside and out.

Fan's dad felt deeply moved. He sighed, and after a moment said: 'I originally disagreed with an older woman‑younger man relationship.'

Fan's mom thought more long‑term, she said: 'This matter can't be told to Feifei for now; her health is important. Fan Xi, you little rascal, you're fooling around—how can you have no safety measures at all?'

Moreover, Fan's mom emphasized: 'I acknowledge the grandson, but I only recognize Feifei as the daughter‑in‑law.'

Fan Xi spread his palms, he had no experience handling this matter; he sought help from his father.

His father also lacked this experience.

"I've never betrayed your mother in my life, and I don't know what to do now. I just want to give you a beating!" Afterwards, Fan's dad warned Fan Xi again.

"You have so many scandalous girlfriends in the US; don't cause such trouble again. Keep yourself pure."

Fan Xi lowered his head, he was silent: 'Um…'.

Upon hearing this, Fan's dad became agitated, he shook Fan Xi: 'Don't tell me there's still another illegitimate child?!'

Fan Xi had gotten this far, he didn't hide it anymore. He steeled himself and said: 'Not one, not two, not three…'

Upon hearing this, Fan's dad stared blankly for a while, then grabbed Fan Xi's neck with both hands: 'What are you imitating, James?'

After all, even a tiger doesn't eat its cub, so his hand didn't tighten.

Fan Xi and Fan's dad locked eyes, then he said: 'It's true. But it's not the same person.'

Fan's dad was completely dumbfounded; he sat on the bed and suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette, preferably Heiliqun, strong enough to suppress his inner turmoil.

Fan's dad remained silent for about ten minutes, then he finally said: 'Don't tell your mom about this for now. I haven't bought any quick‑acting heart‑rescue pills yet.'

"If your mom knew her son was such a playboy, she definitely couldn't handle this stimulation. Also, who are the mothers of those children? Aren't they the ones we saw in the news?"

Fan Xi nodded. He also explained: 'Some haven't gotten pregnant yet, but it's… a matter of time.'

Fan Xi became very calm.

His dad flew into a rage again; even the water of West Lake couldn't calm him.

He pulled out Seven Wolves.

He wanted to whip Fan Xi, not once, not twice, not three times…

…

Hangzhou didn't give Fan - Thus we include: English - Xi any good memories; he even politely declined the organizers' kind offer to go sightseeing at West Lake and visit Leifeng Pagoda.

He felt that if he stayed longer, the person pressed under Leifeng Pagoda wouldn't be Lady White Snake anymore; it might be him.

His dad gave him a solid seven lashes.

His back bore bluish‑purple marks.

However, after the whipping, the matter was over for his dad.

Although Fan's dad also didn't know how it blew over, that night he simply opened a room, and the next day when the attendant entered, the floor was littered with Heiliqun cigarette butts.

His inner turmoil might not be suppressed even by Liqn.

Fan Xi continued his business schedule; he was extremely busy, almost nonstop running around major cities across the country.

Afterwards he also went to mountainous areas; Fan Xi donated many basketball courts and equipment, hoping to let more children participate.

When the time was about to enter August, Stephen Curry arrived in Zhongguo. He will appear in the training camp that Fan Xi opened in Shang hai.

What's worth mentioning is that, arriving on the same flight as Curry were Jennifer and Troy.

They will go to Fan Xi's hometown, where they will secretly conduct the ancestor‑returning ritual.

This was arranged by Fan Xi's dad.

Fan Xi reunited with mother and child in Shang hai for two days, but then Fan Xi did not follow them to the hometown.

There, Fan's dad and mom will be the hosts.

…

Curry's popularity domestically keeps rising; in fact, his popularity in the US is also rising. Last season, he already displayed the demeanor of a superstar, and the Warriors, under his lead, began to set the league trend.

More and more people like their playing rhythm, and they are truly transforming into a strong team.

Therefore, the signing between Fan Xi and Curry can be described as superb value. Fan Xi had unearthed a potential superstar, even though at the time he merely wanted to look after his good friend.

"I know he'll return to the Western next season, but I'm already prepared. I'll kick his butt hard."

When Curry accepted an interview from Chinese reporters at the training camp, he laughed and said:

Although here, no one regards his words as a symbol of hostility.

After all, everyone knows about his close relationship with Fan Xi.

But Fan Xi believes this guy definitely made many preparations in private.

Moreover, the situation in the Western this year will become extremely tumultuous. Although Le Bu Lang Zhang Si on the Eastern side announced he would stay with the Heat for a season, it looks like there are signs of standing still.

But recently a horrifying trade rumor spread: the San Antonio Spurs will dismantle half the team to acquire Chris Paul.

This trade rumor is very popular on the American internet.

It's told in vivid detail.

Ku Li and Fan Xi said in conversation: This is almost impossible. Because Sheng An Dong Ni Ao and Xi Si Dun are the most direct competitors, they are in the same Southwest Division, they have no reason to send Ba Luo to Deng Ken's side. The whole world knows what kind of chemical reaction the two of them could have.

Deng Ken plus Ba Luo.

Two extremely traditional superstars join forces, one inside one outside, the league will be strangled by them.

Most importantly, next year is an odd-numbered year, the Spurs have a history of winning championships in odd-numbered years.

The Rockets don't need to strengthen the rival's strength, playing basketball isn't charity. Moreover, even if doing charity, it's not the Rockets' turn to give love to the Spurs. The Spurs have beaten the Rockets many times over the years.

However, Fan Xi has a different view. He said: "This trade also has reason to exist. Ba Luo and Ha Deng are already irreconcilable, their separation is a foregone conclusion. If the Spurs offer extremely competitive chips, I think the Rockets could possibly accept."
