I was determined to be bad, but I went straight to the Basketball Hall of Fame

Chapter 246 Still Be Confident (Third)
Going to New York again, Min Congda was very nervous.

The $[-] donation cast a shadow on him for life.

That time the league fined him 10 U.S. dollars as "compensation" and asked him to donate 5 U.S. dollars to show his face at the conference.

This time, the league fined him another 50 because of early recruitment!
Who knows if Stern and Silva want to "compensate" him again and ask him to donate another 20 or something.

If that's the case, Min Congda will not donate any more money with all his shame.

It's really not easy for him to make money, the working class, racking their brains to get some salary bonuses.

Those of you in the upper class who earn millions every year, how can you understand the sadness of working as a worker to earn and spend money hard.

Like D'Addario, in getting along with Min Congda, there have been some differences in consumption.

When he came to New York this time, Daddario made a special trip to ask for leave from the crew and drove to the airport to pick up Min Congda.

As soon as he got in the car, Daddario took out a black gift box and handed it to Min Congda, saying it was a gift for him.

Min Congda opened it and saw that it was a Patek Philippe men's watch.

For working-class people like Min Congda, the first reaction when seeing such expensive things is: How much is it?

But out of politeness, Min Congda didn't ask that question, but took out the receipt from the box and took a look at it.

5后面的0已经把闵聪达给看不会了，5个0，50万美元的一块表！

Fortunately, this is the United States, and the US dollar is used. If South Korea buys it in Korean won, let’s skip a dozen zeros later.

A $50 watch, Daddario gave it away without blinking.

For her class, 50 is not a small amount, but definitely not much.

It is roughly equivalent to an ordinary person's girlfriend spending 3000 to buy a game console for her boyfriend.

Min Congda looked at the golden Patek Philippe with diamonds, and felt uncomfortable.

Perhaps in D'Addario's view, he and he are in the same class, after all, he is the general manager of the Clippers.

The annual salary of players is tens of millions, and the annual salary of managers also starts from one million, and the assets of tens of millions are even easier.

A watch worth 50 pieces is absolutely affordable.If you can give it away, you can naturally receive it.

But Min Congda couldn't afford it. He was in the same circle as those people, but not in the same class.

After playing with this valuable watch, Min Congda was afraid that it would be damaged, so he closed the cover, handed it back to Daddario, and said, "Sorry, this watch... I can't accept it."

Daddario was full of anticipation, hoping that Min Congda would be very happy after receiving the gift.

But Min Congda was not happy, and returned the watch. It was D'Addario's turn to be unhappy.

"Why? This is the first expensive gift I've given you. You know, we've known each other for almost a year, and it's the first anniversary gift."

The two met during the offseason last year. They met in a nightclub during a fight. It has indeed been a year since they met.

"There's no reason to give such an expensive gift to a friend for the first anniversary of their acquaintance." Min Congda said flatly.

"Friends? Are we just friends?" Daddario's face became even uglier.

"Isn't it? You said at the beginning that you don't want to fall in love." Min Congda said calmly.

Daddario was speechless for a while, yes, she did say that she didn't want to be in love at the beginning.

She has to work, film, and spend a lot of time improving her acting skills and studying scripts.

However, for a whole year, what is the difference between two people and lovers?

As long as he has free time, Daddario will go to Los Angeles to accompany Min Congda.

The two went to Staples to watch the game together, went for a walk on the beach, and drove to the top of Beverly Hills to see the night view.

They were still swimming in the dark sea, embracing each other tightly in fear. At that moment Daddario felt that he was safer than ever, and he was completely unafraid of the unknown and terrifying sea.

Min Congda will also come to New York, taking time to take a walk with Daddario in Central Park and watch Broadway operas together—although Min Congda often says he can’t understand.

They will be in contact every day, at least 5 minutes on the phone.

Isn't this a lover?Daddario felt very sad.

She took the watch that Min Congda handed over, and said coldly, "I'll take you to the hotel."

Without saying a word along the way, she sent Min Congda to the hotel, and then drove away.

Min Congda stood at the entrance of the hotel with his luggage, watching Daddario's car leave, feeling uncomfortable.

During the time he was with Daddario, he was really happy and felt that he had a concern in his heart.

Although he often went to Santa Barbara to learn martial arts, the actual situation is that the frequency is getting lower and lower, and the number of times is getting less and less.

On the one hand, the four-person group cannot get together, and the new four-person group has not improved. It is boring to go on an adventure alone.

On the other hand, Min Congda felt a little tired, rushing without emotion, leaving only emptiness after passion, and his body and wallet being gradually emptied.

On the contrary, the stronger the relationship with Daddario, the more harmonious the intimate relationship will be.

With Daddario's figure, where can those heroines be compared?

Therefore, Min Congda has not been to nightclubs in Santa Barbara or other places in Los Angeles for a while.

Even if you go, it's just a drink and a chat with Milicic, Davis and others.

Of course, there is another reason that Min Congda himself didn't realize, that is, the proportion of basketball in his life is getting higher and higher.

I didn't care about many things last season, which caused the Clippers to make a profit!
This season, Min Congda decided to focus on every job.

You can't let it go, let the team get better and better, and make more and more money.

However, when he arrived at the hotel to stay, Min Congda lay on the bed, feeling uncomfortable for a while.

His mind was full of Daddario, thinking that she had done nothing wrong, she just wanted to give him a gift.

"Why did you reject her so coldly? To put it bluntly, I still feel inferior in my heart. I feel that I am not worthy of a 50 watch."

"Damn, why is it the same as before! How many people did you miss because of inferiority! You promised to be confident! Where did the energy when you hit up Daddario back then!"

Min Congda tortured himself, where was his confidence last summer?

Recalling the mentality at the time, how high-spirited it was, I felt that the Clippers were definitely doomed this season.

As a result, after one season, his self-confidence was polished a little bit.

How is it similar to when I first went to work in the bank?

He thought he could be promoted and raised early to marry Bai Fumei, but he sat at the counter for three years.

Thinking about it makes me cry. Sure enough, there is no such thing as easy in the adult world, and a system is no exception.

Just as he was thinking wildly, the doorbell rang, and Min Congda got up to open the door, but Daddario was standing at the door.

The surprise in my heart was beyond words, and Min Congda didn't know what to say for a while.

"Hey, good... Long time no see." Min Congda said.

"How long did it take, I only left for an hour."

"But for me, the days feel like years."

Daddario threw himself into Min Congda's arms, and then took out a small dusty box.

"what is this?"

"A new gift, suitable for you."
