Chapter 49

Su Yan, Wei De, and Samaki Walker were each suspended for one game.

Huh?

Why did Wei De and Samaki Walker initiate the punches and flying kicks, yet receive the same punishment as Su Yan?!

It was a matter of impact.

After all, Su Yan had knocked both of them to the ground until they fainted; with more than two people involved, it was a three-person brawl, and the nature of the fight had escalated sharply.

The punishment was heavier.

"What? Suspended?!"

Coach Skiles was extremely furious upon hearing the news, "It was clearly self-defense after being swarmed, and he was ejected from the single game.

That is the maximum punishment I can accept.

Now he's suspended too?

Are you kidding me?!

Does Su Yan have to watch Wei De and Samaki Walker knock him down and beat him until he's bloody before he won't be punished?

Isn't this ridiculous?!"

Does he have a point?

He has a very valid point.

But because of the existence of the 'haters' (Xiao Hei Zi), if it isn't handled, letting them run wild, letting public opinion continue to expand, and the influence continue to worsen...

It is indeed bad for the league's image.

David Stern had no choice but to do this.

"Screw that."

Coach Skiles was very irritable and quite displeased, "What kind of bullshit punishment, what kind of bullshit Summer League, suspended, right?

Then... we might as well not play."

Back to Su Yan.

At the hotel arranged by the team.

Whether it was 【Jordan's Successor】 or 【Gentleman Thug】, he knew nothing of it; he slept until noon before waking up.

"Knock, knock, knock~"

And not long after waking up.

Someone knocked on the door.

After Su Yan opened the door, he saw a young-looking Black man standing at the entrance, smiling and greeting him.

Who?!

Su Yan was still thinking in his brain.

The middle-aged man spoke first: "Hello, Mr. Su Yan, my name is Rich Paul, and I am a good friend of LeBron James."

Rich Paul?

LeBron?!

So it was him!

Su Yan knew very well about Rich Paul; he was the future hottest NBA agent, with a net worth exceeding 400 million.

For an agent, a net worth of tens of millions was already quite remarkable.

Rich Paul having 400 million USD was, for an agent, extremely rare and truly quite extraordinary.

He had a brilliant business mind.

And don't look at how smart he was and his amazing future achievements.

Right now, he was only 23 years old, very young.

"Um, hello."

"Then... can we go out and talk?"

"Okay."

Half an hour later.

A high-end coffee shop near the hotel.

"Mr. Su Yan, I hope to be your agent, although... I don't have many resources in my hands right now.

But.

My ability to handle matters is very strong.

Whether it is your personal affairs or business matters, I have absolute confidence in doing them well and maximizing your interests.

I hope you can give me a chance."

Rich Paul's attitude was very sincere.

"Uh..."

Su Yan thought for a moment and asked: "Besides LeBron James, what other players do you have under your banner?"

"Uh..."

Rich Paul frowned, his expression becoming slightly ugly. After thinking for a while, he took a deep breath and replied:

"LeBron and I are just friends right now, and I only have a few mediocre, insignificant players around me.

But once LeBron finishes his contract with his current agent, he will immediately sign with me. He trusts my ability very much; you can rest assured about that.

I have some resources in my hands.

As long as you are willing to let me be your agent, not only will all those resources be yours, but I will also wholeheartedly handle things for you alone.

C... can I?!"

"Uh..."

Su Yan rubbed his chin, took a slow sip of coffee, and then smiled slightly, "Sure."

Buzz~

Rich Paul felt his scalp tingle, his face full of disbelief, "You... you just agreed to me?!"

"Yes."

Su Yan smiled, "Isn't that good? If you don't want to, then forget it."

"No, no, no!"

Rich Paul shook his head frantically.

The disbelief on his face turned into extreme excitement, "I want to, I want to, I want to so much, I really want to be Su Yan's agent.

Thank you.

Please rest assured, from now on... I will definitely serve you wholeheartedly. As for my ability to handle affairs, time will verify all of this.

Thank you for giving me such an opportunity."

"It's no trouble, it's mutual."

Su Yan smiled.

He immediately stood up, reached out his palm, and smiled: "Then... happy cooperation?!"

"Happy cooperation!!!"

The two shook hands tightly.

After confirming the agent relationship, the two parted ways after some more chatting.

The reason Su Yan agreed to Rich Paul so decisively was not just because he knew Rich Paul would have high achievements in the future.

His business mind was truly good.

It was also because... Rich Paul's business empire was just starting, and what he lacked most right now was players, and... trust.

That's right.

A businessman whose career has just started loves it when someone can trust him, give him a chance, and believe in his ability.

Then.

Not only will he grow very fast, but he will also be maximally attentive to the partner who trusts him.

And now... Su Yan knew the young Rich Paul had strong abilities and a bright future, so he agreed to him extremely decisively.

This trust was precious.

This would make Rich Paul not only very attentive to Su Yan but also very grateful to him, taking that attentiveness a step further.

So much so that... ===== CHAPTER 51 =====
