Heizi's Basketball: I'm not the boss?

Chapter 142
pia!

Masako snapped her fingers

Ok?
Lingzi wondered: What does this mean?Seeing that the planning book is too thick, you simply don’t even turn it over, so why do you have to snap your fingers?

Before Lingzi could ask any questions, suddenly, from a corner in the gym, a figure walked out of nowhere.

"Miss Masako."

The man bowed respectfully to Masako, and then nodded slightly to Lingzi.

"Excuse me, Uncle Okada."

Masako said politely, then slowly stood up, walked to the water dispenser and poured a glass of water. She also poured a glass for Reiko Tajima.

After taking the water glass handed by Masako, Lingzi's eyes were always on the man whom Masako called Uncle Okada.

At this moment, Okada had picked up the planning book on the table, sat on the edge of the sofa, took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, opened the first page, and read through it word by word.

Lingzi was stunned. She turned to look at Masako who was leaning against the wall, with a look of confusion on her face.

Sensing Lingzi's gaze, Masako Qingmin took a sip of the tea in his hand and introduced to Lingzi: "Uncle Okada is my father's Queen's Lawyer, and he was borrowed by me to help with the check. After all, I can't say anything about things like planning documents. I can’t even stand it.”

Hearing this, Okada put down the planning project in his hand, smiled softly, and said respectfully to Masako: "Don't say that, Miss Masako, it is my honor to work for the Araki family."

Watching this scene, Lingzi finally came to her senses from her dazed state. She looked Okada up and down, and suddenly, a memory appeared in her mind.

"Could it be! You are the Tokyo... No! Neon's number one lawyer, Honta Okada 20 years ago??"

As soon as these words came out, Okada, who had just been immersed in the planning book, put down the plan in his hands again, stroked his stubble and smiled at Lingzi: "What's the matter? Such a young and beautiful lady has also heard of the story of this old guy like me. ah?"

Lingzi shook her head, looking at Okada with a hint of admiration and surprise in her eyes.

20 years ago, a strange man ran away to rob a cash transport truck!Finally intercepted 20 billion neon coins! (Converted, it is approximately equal to [-] million RMB)

Afterwards, the stupid young man was arrested on the spot by the police. With complete witnesses and material evidence, the court sentenced him to 18 years in prison in the first instance!
However, in such an almost unsolvable situation, a lawyer emerged, caught the omissions in the witness's words, and discovered the loopholes in the timeline. In the end, this magnificent reversal was completed, and the defendant was not guilty. freed!
Since then, the lawyer has been out of control and has frequently received difficult cases. High fees and high returns are his byword. At the same time, he is also a "money" lawyer who doesn't care about his employer. As long as you give him the money More, no matter you are a murderer or a robber or something else, he will do his best to help exonerate you. To a certain extent, he can be regarded as a very professional person!

"Ever since 15 years ago, when the legendary lawyer took over a big case again and helped the defendant successfully exonerate himself, he disappeared, as if he had disappeared from the world and never appeared again."

Lingzi's tone was a little sad. She looked at Uncle Okada and left the last part of the sentence unsaid: Many people are saying that this legendary lawyer is most likely dead.

"Hoo ho ho."

Okada burst into laughter. He looked at Lingzi with emotion in his voice: "I was too young and ignorant at the time. I only thought about making money, but ignored many other things..."

The wages of avarice is death.

When a talented lawyer abandons the bottom line of legal ethics and helps evil forces escape the sanctions of the law for money, although the law may not necessarily come forward, someone will eventually take action.

Lingzi nodded deeply. She probably understood why this legendary lawyer worked for the Araki family.

With Neon offending a large number of big figures in the White Road, only the Araki family, the leader of the evil forces, can save Okada.

At this time, Masako suddenly clapped her hands, interrupting the chat between the two. She glanced at the two of them expressionlessly, and her eyes finally stopped on Okada.

"I'm sorry to disturb you two from reminiscing about the past, but it's a bit far off topic. Uncle Okada, it's time to get to work."

Okada was startled, and the expression on his face immediately became serious. He picked up the plan on the table again and started his work.

Lingzi on the side looked at this scene and felt it was a bit unreal. In the past, the "Legend" who had only heard the name in peer reports was actually sitting next to her, checking her plan. This was really...

Ok? ? ?
Lingzi suddenly realized that this legal expert was not joking with her, but checking the plan for loopholes and traps!

Oops!

Lingzi had a bad feeling in her heart. Although the plan was given to her by the Flower Gardeners Basketball Association, due to a lack of expertise, Lingzi only glanced through it and found nothing wrong with it.

But can she...be compared to Honda Okada?
Thinking that the person in front of him could find loopholes in countless iron-clad cases, Lingzi couldn't help but feel guilty. If Uncle Okada discovered some "hole" on the spot, the scene would be ugly.

Fortunately, the flower-planting family's basketball defense is relatively reliable.

After about half an hour, Okada closed the planning case and slowly took off the glasses on his face. Under Lingzi's nervous gaze, he turned to Masako and said, "Miss Masako, there is no problem."

"The treatment and other aspects are within the scope of what I learned in advance, and there are no text traps."

call--

Lingzi breathed a sigh of relief.

Thanks to the Flower Gardeners Basketball Association.

Masako nodded slightly and waved to Okada, indicating that he could leave.

Sitting back opposite Lingzi again, this time Masako's eyes softened a bit when he looked at her.

If there was anything in this plan meant to trick Xiang Yang, Masako himself couldn't guarantee whether Lingzi would be able to walk out of the gym today.

Invisibly, Lingzi escaped unharmed.

Not only Masako, but also Lingzi now has a little more confidence.

"How about Miss Masako, we are very sincere!"

Seeing Lingzi return to a confident state, Masako pondered for a while and said: "Since Uncle Okada said there is no problem, then there is nothing wrong, but I still have some personal questions to ask you. "

Lingzi made a gesture of listening, waiting for Masako's next words.

"Xiangyang has no prejudice against flower growers, but can you guarantee that everyone in the flower growers' basketball association, including the National Youth Team, has no prejudice against him?"

Masako narrowed her eyes slightly. If Lingzi's answer to this question didn't satisfy her, she would definitely not agree to Xiang Yang running to the flower grower's house to play ball.

Racial discrimination is really a terrible thing, and it is so normal that most people think it is not a strange thing.

Is the first question so sharp...

Lingzi's brows furrowed slightly. She had naturally expected this question to arise, but even if she had expected it, it was undeniable that this was a difficult question to answer.

"about this…"

Lingzi was silent for a long time and then said: "Indeed, it is impossible for everyone to like Mr. Xiangyang, but this kind of foreign players joining has happened before. What I can assure you is that if you want to play in other countries, Then a flower grower will definitely be the best choice!”

Lingzi didn't lie to fool Masako. He said that everyone would become a family after joining the Basketball Association.She confessed to Masako very sincerely that there were indeed people who didn't like Xiang Yang, but they would definitely protect Xiang Yang's physical and mental safety to the greatest extent possible.Sincerity is always a must-win.

Barely qualified…

Masako's expression remained unchanged and continued: "Also, he is too young. After he goes to the flower garden, I ask you to arrange for him someone who can be responsible for his daily life."

Lingzi: Huh?

"Um...Miss Masako, this is against the rules."

Lingzi was ashamed, and she couldn't help muttering in her heart: Is Masako taking care of him too much?
"It's not a problem at all to regulate things like this."

Masako shook her head firmly. As the eldest lady of the Araki family and with the status of coach Yangquan, it was impossible for her to follow Xiangyang to the flower grower's house. She really couldn't rest assured if there was no one to look after her.

"Or...find him a nanny?"

Lingzi asked cautiously, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was rejected by Masako.

"He can't speak Chinese, what if he is fooled? Find someone you know, a relative is best."

While talking, Masako took out a check and handed it to Lingzi.

"I'll pay for it. I'll give you this amount every month and meet all his conditions. The extra money will be counted as your tip."

Lingzi was angry. As a special reporter, although he didn't make much money in Neon, he wouldn't be so insulted!
She angrily grabbed the check on the table and was about to tear it up like in the movie, leaving Masako with a handsome back. However, she accidentally glanced at the amount on the check.

"Deal, Miss Masako."

……

……

"His aunt."

(I am back.)
The doors to the Sharks' gym are pushed open
Xiang Yang yelled out habitually, but soon he regretted it.

I saw Lingzi sitting on the sofa, her eyes darting between Masako and Xiangyang strangely.

If Lingzi remembers correctly, in Neon, this kind of ceremony should be something you shout when you go home.

Could it be possible that these two people...

Lingzi was in a daze, and his brain began to make up his mind.

Masako calmly picked up the disposable water cup on the table and took a sip, but judging from the bend of the water cup, she didn't seem as calm as she looked on the surface.

"Cough cough."

Xiang Yang coughed awkwardly, walked slowly to Masako and sat down. If nothing else happened, the woman sitting opposite him would be the person Masako arranged for him to interview.

Strange... This person seems a little familiar.

At this time, Lingzi finally came back to her senses. She looked at Xiang Yang who kept looking at her, with a habitual smile on her face, and said: "Hello Mr. Xiang Yang, my name is Tajima Lingzi, you can just call me Lingzi. "

Xiang Yang nodded and said, "Hello, Miss Lingzi, this is the first time we meet. My name is Xiang Yang. You can call me whatever you want."

After listening to Xiang Yang's words, Lingzi shook his head and corrected: "You are wrong, Mr. Xiang Yang, this is not the first time we have met."

After saying that, Lingzi winked at Xiang Yang, and the "sweet girl offensive" continued.

Unfortunately, to Lingzi's expectation, Xiang Yang didn't have any special reaction to her playfulness, he just narrowed his eyes and looked at Lingzi's face carefully, and then suddenly realized: "Is Miss Lingzi the reporter who interviewed me before? "

Um?Not working?

Lingzi was a little surprised. Those high school students in the past would show embarrassment in the face of her offensive, but Xiang Yang didn't accept this.

Glancing at Masako who was on the sidelines, Lingzi's face revealed another touch of understanding.

"That's right, Mr. Xiangyang's memory is really good."

Although there are a lot of mental activities, Lingzi's expression has always been that kind smile, which is also one of the basic skills of a reporter.

At this moment, Masako turned her head and glanced at the clock on the wall, got up and stretched, and said, "You two chat first, I'll cook."

After saying that, he kicked Xiang Yang's legs and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

"I want to eat steak."

"Rejected, you've eaten too many indulgent meals recently."

"why is it like this!"

Masako ignored Xiang Yang's complaints and turned around and walked directly into the kitchen. She just asked out of habit. Of course, it was up to her to decide what to eat.

Lingzi, who was sitting opposite, had a panoramic view of this scene, her mouth was slightly opened, she was so shocked that she couldn't even maintain a formulaic smile.

really!These two people...maybe! ! !

"Miss Lingzi? Miss Lingzi?"

Sensing that something was wrong with Lingzi, Xiang Yang raised his right hand and waved it in front of her.

Lingzi suddenly came back to his senses, made an apologetic expression towards Xiang Yang, and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiang Yang, maybe I didn't sleep well last night."

Lingzi adjusted his attitude, placed the plan in front of Xiang Yang, and said again: "This is what our Basketball Association has done for foreign players to join. Please take a look at it."

After saying that, Lingzi thought for a while and added: "Miss Masako has already read it in advance."

Xiang Yang nodded calmly, opened the plan book, and pretended to read it.

However, no matter whether it is the previous life or the present life, he is still just a student who has not experienced the beatings of the society. Even though he is much more mature than his peers, it is still limited.

At least, he didn't have the ability to completely read the plan.

However, the second half of Lingzi's words made him feel relaxed. Since Masako had read it, it meant that there would be no problem. Otherwise, the Miss Lingzi in front of him might have already boarded a flight to Indonesia.

In the heart of pretending to be more or less even if he can't understand, Xiang Yang flipped through the proposal book boredly, and at the same time talked to Lingzi: "Miss Lingzi, are you a flower grower? I heard you just now, "You flower growers "?"

Lingzi's expression was stunned. She was still not sure what Xiang Yang thought of flower growers, but she turned around and thought, this was an opportunity to test Xiang Yang!

"Yeah, that's right. I'm a reporter for the basketball newspaper of the flower planter. I came to Neon after being assigned a task by the company. Reiko Tajima, that's the name I gave myself. Does it sound good?"

Lingzi responded with a relaxed expression, but her peripheral vision was always staring at Xiang Yang, observing his attitude: "Shi Yimin, this is my name."

When speaking of the three words "Shi Yimin", Lingzi used Chinese.

Xiang Yang's pupils shrank. When he heard "Shi Yimin" in his ears, these three Chinese characters were instinctively reflected in his mind.

Can he still understand Chinese characters even though he has a neon body? Xiangyang decided to do a little experiment.

"Shi...Yi...Min..."

He tried to say Lingzi's Chinese name, but although he knew how to pronounce it and what the word was in his mind, he had no memory of the vocal muscles on his face.

I can only understand it, but if I want to speak, do I have to learn Chinese systematically?

Xiang Yang licked the corner of his mouth, thinking that after going to the flower garden, he would have to learn pinyin again!
As a foreign aid, being able to speak the native language of a new country and being unable to speak it are two different concepts.

Lingzi saw all the changes in Xiangyang's face, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. For now, Xiangyang didn't show any resistance to the flower growers.

"By the way, Mr. Xiangyang, do you have time recently?"

"If possible, would you like to go to the National Youth Team at the flower garden next week to see it?"

what?
Xiang Yang was stunned. He didn't expect Lingzi to say that.

Looking at Xiang Yang's expression, Lingzi smiled slightly and explained: "Since we want to recruit Mr. Xiang Yang, wouldn't it be unfair if we don't let you go and see our country's basketball team?"

"And if you want to change your nationality, you have to wait until you reach adulthood, that is, almost graduate from high school. But before that, you can reserve a spot in the national youth team for Mr. Xiang Yang."

The expression on Lingzi's face was sincere, as if she was really thinking about Xiang Yang.

But Xiang Yang understood the implication of Lingzi's words. He wanted him to go to the Flower Garden Basketball Association to prove his ability, right?
Although judging from the video, Ling Zi fully approves of Xiang Yang's strength!

But the National Youth Team is no child's play, especially for those who have just entered the right track in the sports industry. In the past, those rich children could easily get the National Youth Team quota by using some connections. Now they have completely become the domestic , the goal that the new generation of basketball talents are chasing!

Under this premise, with only a few videos and no actual operation, Lingzi could not produce enough strong evidence to persuade the flower grower's basketball association to give Xiang Yang a position.

"I understand what you mean, Miss Lingzi, I will prove my strength."

Xiang Yang moved his neck and looked at Lingzi with a smile.

Just yesterday, after Masako had a showdown with him, Xiangyang went online to check the basketball level of the flower growers in this world, and also found a lot of game videos of the flower growers' national players.

The final conclusion is that relying on the answer... is not as bad, but it is not much better.

In this world, flower growers have just finished the stage of becoming a technologically powerful country, and the overall social rhythm has completely entered the period of building a sports nation!In junior and primary schools, more opportunities for physical exercise are provided to students.

The physical education teacher who usually spends 365 days a year and is sick 364 days is finally standing up again!
However... the development of anything takes time to accumulate.

For the newly emerging flower growers in the sports industry, Xiangyang can wave his hand and say it with great confidence!

The national team is just like that, and the national youth team is even more mediocre!

They are all the ones who insert the bids and sell the goods first!
