Return to 2002: Freestyle Superstar

Chapter 484 If you can’t afford to offend, can you still afford to hide?
If you asked Chen Ran, if time could flow again, would he still go to the appointment on the night before the Miami final? Will you go to Sharapova's new home again? Would you even spend the night there?
Chen Ran would answer "yes" three times in a row.

Isn't it just a Masters championship? It's not a Grand Slam or the Olympics.

Chen Ran has no shortage of Masters championships, so he can afford to lose.

Sometimes in life you should indulge, but of course you still have to exercise moderation.

But when Chen Ran saw this interview about Sharapova's father in the newspaper, those dead memories began to attack him.

Sharapova's father was a poor worker in Siberia, Russia.

However, he loved tennis very much and saw his daughter's talent in tennis, so he trained her to play tennis since she was a child.

When IMG took a fancy to Sharapova, his father resolutely took Sharapova to the United States, and he himself worked two jobs at the same time to make a living.

It was also because of his persistence that his daughter finally succeeded.

But this kind of person has a very paranoid personality, is also very extreme, irritable, and is easily angered. He always talks about what comes to mind and doesn't care about other people's feelings at all.

Especially when Sharapova's career became more and more brilliant, her father began to become more and more complacent and even arrogant.

Emotions that had been suppressed for decades could finally burst out unabashedly.

Vujacic of the Lakers has received a middle-class contract in the NBA and is located in a big city like Los Angeles. No matter where he is in the world, he can be regarded as a rich and handsome man.

Under normal circumstances, the woman's parents must be very fond of such a prospective son-in-law. Even if they are billionaires, they can't find anything wrong with him.

But it was Vujacic who was humiliated like never before in front of Sharapova's father.

Every time they met, this rough Russian guy kept saying "basketball trash" and "why didn't you choose that rich British boy"? It can be said that he didn't give him any face at all.

There are so many people playing basketball in the world, but those who can get NBA contracts are very rare, and those who can get middle-class contracts are even rarer.

To be precise, the NBA is the richest professional league in the world. A player who can get a middle-class contract has more wealth than most tennis players.

Tennis players receive variable bonuses, but middle-class contracts have fixed salaries.

But in front of Sharapova's father, Vujacic is a waste.

Then there is the tennis star Dimitrov from Bulgaria, who is the boyfriend Sharapova snatched from Serena Williams.

But he still couldn't avoid the fate of being humiliated by Sharapova's father.

Dimitrov's world ranking is basically around the top 10 in the world, and his best career results are a year-end championship and a Masters championship.

In the most glorious era of the ATP, this result was actually not impressive at all. In addition, as an Eastern European player, he did not have much market value.

His wealth is not even as good as Vujacic, who can get a mid-level NBA contract. How could Sharapova's father look at him?

Although Sharapova's father cannot interfere with his daughter's love choices, he can choose to insult his daughter's boyfriend and deny him any face.

In the eyes of Sharapova's father, his daughter should marry the rich, aristocrats and celebrities in British and American society, and then let their family join the upper class of British and American society.

But Sharapova likes to find athletes. I don’t know if she is deliberately angry with her father.

In short, these feelings ended happily.

In this newspaper, Sharapova's father was interviewed by an American reporter and made no secret of this.

How could a rough Russian guy be as scheming as a reporter from a beautiful country?

The other party randomly set up a trap, and Sharawa's father took it.

"Hello, dear sir, your daughter is already eighteen years old. Is it time to find a boyfriend?"

"What do you think the ideal boyfriend of Shava is?" So Shava's father directly revealed all his true inner thoughts.

"No one in professional tennis is worthy of my beautiful daughter."

"I hope my son-in-law is an outstanding young entrepreneur from the United Kingdom and the United States. Of course, it would also be fine if he is an outstanding second-generation heir."

"Hollywood stars? No, no, no, they are too philandering and have never been a suitable marriage partner."

"The most suitable candidate in my mind? Preferably the founder of FACEBOOK. The two are of the same age."

In short, this stubborn old man said whatever he thought of.

Zuckerberg?

This old man really dares to think, the key is that he can really say it.

Chen Ran also admired Sharawa's father's brain circuit.

But the American reporter was very cunning and continued to dig holes.

"What about Chen Ran? He should be the richest tennis player, or even sports player. Not only does he have match bonuses, but he also has many advertising endorsements. He even has a game agency and successfully invested in China's Internet company."

"Maria has a good personal relationship with him, and the two even formed a team to participate in mixed doubles."

"Chen Ran?" Shawa's father said in a very firm tone, "No, no, no..."

He still had some brains and explained to himself first: "First of all, I am not a racist, but I still hope that my daughter will find a white man so that we can have a common language. They can become friends, but it is not appropriate to go further."

"What if Chen Ran is very rich, and his wealth has accumulated to more than 10 billion US dollars?" The American reporter continued to dig holes.

In this era, one can indeed join the list of the world's richest people with more than one billion US dollars.

"This..." Shava's father hesitated, and then said very arrogantly, "Unless he is willing to give us half of his assets, I can consider it!"

This idiot is out of his mind!

When Chen Ran saw this, he was also amused.

Then, he crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

In fact, deep down in Chen Ran's heart, he is not willing to find a girlfriend who is taller than himself. Presumably most Chinese men have the same idea as him.

You can't be taller than me, even if you are one or two centimeters shorter than me.

Maria, it’s not that I want to be a scumbag and always give up, but your father doesn’t agree.

Chen Ran didn't look angry at all, but instead looked a little happy.

If there is a chance to meet this middle-aged fool in the future, can I deliberately find some trouble and let the conflict between the two parties explode?

Then you can take care of yourself.

"Maria, how can I get along with a father like you?"

"I'm really worried that one day he will stab me to death!"

"If I can't afford to offend you, can I still afford to hide?"

Then he can withdraw decisively!
