American winner takes all

Chapter 89 Team Management
After an in-depth (bargaining) exchange that was cordial (blowing noses and staring), friendly (breathing fragrance), and candid (lion's mouth wide open), Ethan still reached a consensus with the school represented by Principal John.

At this point, Ethan has decided where to go for the next two years, but Ethan feels it is not enough.

At the same time, after the negotiation was completed, John also very generously invited Ethan and Catherine to visit his home. From the outside, John's mansion was a traditional European-style building, with various bookshelves on the bookshelves and in the living room. Various collectibles he brought back from his travels around the world.

You must know that John was a geography teacher at the beginning, and he knew a lot about the customs and customs of various parts of the world in his conversation. At the same time, Ethan also saw the various fishing equipment he placed at home, and it seemed that he was still a fisherman.

During the visit, Ethan sneaked out and found Grace.

"Grace...Director, I wonder if you plan to continue to serve as the cheerleading coach in the future?" Ethan talked about the future.

"Of course." Grace nodded, seemingly not giving up on her beloved career.

This is how she felt to Ethan. She was extremely passionate about the cheerleading career and had little interest in other things.However, the sports director is not an ordinary position. In fact, he has a very high status in the school. What she said now is more out of dissatisfaction with her father who imposed it on her.

"So, I can still meet you at the cheerleading party?" Ethan continued.

"Why do you ask this?" Grace felt puzzled.

"Just asking casually, you know that the cheerleading team cannot do without you." Ethan shrugged, pretending to be casual.

"You're right." Grace nodded happily when she heard someone supporting her idea.

·
"You invited me to the cheerleading party before, right?" Ethan dialed Sarah Gellar's phone number as soon as he got home.

"That's right, have you changed your mind now?" Sarah Gellar's voice on the phone smiled.

Without waiting for Ethan to respond, she continued.

"But I've changed my mind. You don't have to come, you stinky man!"

No matter what Ethan said next, Sarah Gellar refused to let Ethan come to the party, as if there was some special reason. She didn't say the specific reason.

"I understand." Ethan hung up the phone directly.

Then he called Amy non-stop.

"Why do you ask this?" She also seemed hesitant.

"It's nothing. Catherine asked me to ask for help. She also wants to go." Ethan did not reveal his intention this time.

Amy asked a few more questions before telling Ethan the answer.

At the end, she suddenly asked: "This season is over, you should try to relax... Do you have any plans these days?"

She said this just to get Ethan to ask her out.

"It won't work these days... maybe it will work in a few days!"

"Then...do you need me to call Naomi?" Amy tentatively asked.

"Of course!" Ethan replied without hesitation.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for two seconds, and then Amy responded:
"That's fine."

It could be heard that she was a little disappointed, probably because she felt that she couldn't be alone with Ethan.

In the evening, Polo Lounge terrace.

"98, 99, 100!..." A group of girls gathered around a large ice bucket and counted in unison.

As the protagonists, it is two girls who drown their heads in a mixture of ice and water, competing to see who can hold their breath longer.

In the slightly undulating water, Grace and Sarah's golden hair tips could be seen spread out in the water, floating slightly with the current, like some kind of genetically mutated aquatic plants.

"Wow!" Sarah Gellar was the first to be unable to hold on. She looked up from the ice water and spat out the ice water in her mouth. Her little face was already red from the cold.

Grace, who had won the victory, immediately raised her head and seemed to be cheering for joy!
"With an undefeated record of 12 games, I'm still the best on the cheerleading team!" Grace laughed. If you don't look at her face, just from this expression, she seems to be no different from a high school girl.

Ethan turned his head around at this time and drank a cocktail alone.

Otherwise, there are only a few foreigners, and all of them are masters of committing suicide.

And Ethan finally knew why no one, including Sarah Gellar, wanted him to attend this party because it was a party for women only.

Because the number of men coming was too small, Grace simply excluded all the men.

But Ethan came without warning, and it would be too harsh to ask him to go back home all the way.

So after Ethan agreed to a certain condition and everyone voted by a show of hands, Ethan was allowed to attend the party.

As the only boy at the scene, it was pretty cool to attend the party alone with more than 20 girls.

Actually...Ethan was just sitting next to him, completely unable to integrate into the conversation of this group of girls. He could only sit here and watch the group of women in front of him perform a silly dance to the roaring electronic music played by the live DJ.

It can't be called a dance at all, but some kind of impromptu movement.

Fortunately, Ethan did not come here to attend a party this time, so he was not in a hurry.

Sarah Gellar came next to Ethan at this time, wrapped in a blanket, her whole body was wet, and her lips were trembling with cold.

"I suggest you don't sit down, but move around to promote blood circulation and avoid facial paralysis." Ethan stuffed snacks into his mouth.

Sarah removed the blanket from her body and reached out her hand to Ethan.

Ethan shook his head, indicating that he was not interested.

"Quiet! Ethan is going to take off his clothes!" Sarah Gellar suddenly shouted at the top of her lungs, and people around her immediately gathered around.

Grace took the lead and pulled Ethan up.

"Relax young man! You agreed to our request before, won't you regret it?" Grace had a sly smile on her face.

Ethan did show off his muscles in order to come in and comply with their special request.

"Why are you so big and living so tightly? Girls, take off his clothes for me!" Grace raised her arms and shouted.

The cheerleaders were hesitant at first, but seeing Coach Grace being the first to take action, they swarmed forward.

In the end, Ethan's shirt was ripped off.

"DJ, music!" Grace took the lead in cheering.

So Ethan could only show off his impressions of a bodybuilder in front of a large audience. As his muscles exerted force, his perfect outline emerged, causing the cheerleaders to scream and stamp their feet.

"Students VS Teachers!"

"Students VS Teachers!"

"Students vs. Teachers!"

I don’t know who started it first, but everyone immediately started cheering in unison.

This is a routine item at the homecoming day celebration held in the indoor gymnasium. Teachers from each subject have to dance one-on-one with students.

The DJ also switched the music to a more frivolous and cheerful song with a more obvious rhythm, which came from "You Never Can Tell" in 1960. This time it was Ethan's turn to take the initiative and pull out Grace who was whistling just now.

This song immediately reminded Ethan of "Pulp Fiction". He shook his shoulders and performed a twisting dance with Grace.

Then others joined in the dance. Ethan took Grace's hand and lifted it up. Grace followed the instructions and made a three-and-a-half-turn turn, then fell backward. Ethan held her back, and at the same time moved her right hand He raised his legs high and performed a difficult finishing move.

This is not difficult for Grace, who has been dancing all year round.

"Good boy" Grace said with silly joy. It could be seen that she was much happier tonight than when she was with John.

"You seem to be in a really good mood."

Listening to Ethan's words, Grace raised her head and drank the wine in the glass.

"Many people will leave the high school campus after tonight, and they will never come back. So I can't show my sadness. Today is my happiest day every year." Grace raised the empty Wine glass.

"Fuck the underage ban! All the girls opened their mouths for me to drink tonight!"

Grace's shout caused everyone to burst into cheers. "Unscrupulous waste of youth, this is the meaning of youth, isn't it?" Grace said to Ethan with a smile.

"Athlete, which girl have you fallen in love with? Tell me and let me give you some advice?" She shook her head.I feel that Ethan must have a plan when he comes here.

Ethan shook his head.

"Then who are you for?"

"For you." Ethan said to Grace.

"Hahh, I Like you!" Grace chuckled a little drunkenly.

"But you're also leaving the cheerleading team." Ethan said about the serious matter of coming here.

"The sports director takes care of more than a dozen projects. You may never be able to mingle with the cheerleaders like you do today." Ethan reminded her to face reality.

"I don't want to talk about this topic." Grace seemed a little unhappy. She was resisting or avoiding.

"Unless you can find a helper, this person can help you handle some things, such as recruiting new students for the new school year, and you can free up your hands to do what you want to do."

"My dad just doesn't want me to do what I want to do, and he won't arrange for anyone else to do it for me."

"Then you can also find it yourself, such as student volunteers in the school, such as me." Ethan finally led him.

"Sorry, I can't hire child labor." Grace shook her head.

"This is not employment, but voluntary labor. Of course I need some returns. To be precise, I need some power, such as the purchasing power of the football team, and some vending machines need to be placed in the stadium."

"I have to remind you that the last athletic director left because of these things."

"But he has no scruples..." Ethan mused.

Moreover, the most important reason for his departure was oil exploration, which touched the core interests of the school. In fact, these "leftovers" are completely profitable.

"How can I believe you have this ability? You are just a high school player." Grace shook her head.

"I guess you haven't forgotten the charity sale not long ago, right? That charity sale was very successful, and everything was handled by me."

Grace fell into speculation. She did seem anxious about some things. She also saw Ethan's purpose. Of course she also knew about the charity sale. In fact, she donated generously at the time.

"You can try, but I reserve the right to take it back at any time." Grace thought for a while, but did not refuse.

"Then let's start with a few vending machines in the stadium." Ethan thought for a while.

As for why it was a vending machine... it wasn't because there was a super-little Lian beside him.

·
"Ugh..." Sarah Gellar buried her face in the ice bucket on the table. Her expression was particularly painful at this time, and it was obvious that she had drunk too much.

There were a dozen girls in a similar situation to her, and even Grace herself was a little confused.

Ethan could only ask Naomi to contact the parents of these people one by one and send Grace back in person.

Naomi is the most sober one.

"Actually, I occasionally drink secretly." Naomi, who also has blond hair like Sarah Gellar, explained.

Sarah Gellar's hair is dyed, which can be seen from the roots. The purpose is of course to get more performance opportunities. After all, her current acting career is to put it bluntly, "Blonde Sweet Girl".

Naomi is different in that she is naturally blonde and lighter in color than Sarah Gellar.

With Naomi's help, the work of contacting parents went smoothly.

"Amy doesn't seem to be feeling well. You can send her back in person later." Considering the relationship between the two, Ethan said.

"Has she contacted you?" Naomi asked.

"Of course." Ethan nodded.

"So do you have a date during this time? You can ask me out." Naomi smiled. Compared to the meek Amy, her speech was more direct and bold.

You must know that Ethan made his relationship with Catherine public at the graduation prom. When she said this, she was undoubtedly preparing to poach him.

And Ethan's answer was the same as when facing Amy: "Of course, but you have to inform Amy, the three of you will be together."

"You really believe in Mormons!" Naomi smiled.

Ethan seemed ignorant of this.

Naomi explained.

There were more than 60 Protestant pastors on board the Mayflower. Many of the early immigrants were Protestants who were considered heretics by God and were forced to come to the American continent.It can be said that America has had a strong mark of Protestantism since its birth.

"Protestant" is not a single church, but a collective name for a type of church. There are multiple factions within it, such as Puritanism, Lutheranism, Calvinism, Anglicanism, etc. There are currently more than 200 various Protestantisms in the country.In addition to reading the same Bible, there are also more or less differences between them.

Mormons are one of them. Like American football, they are pure "American blood".The point is, Mormons believe in multiple families and believe that only in this way can one go to heaven.It can be called the "magic gate"

Although the Magic Gate publicly declared to eradicate this phenomenon as early as a century ago, today in the countryside of Utah, there are some small towns where men build four or five houses connected together, and each house has a mistress.

And in 2014, Utah locals ruled that this phenomenon only required a fine of several hundred dollars, similar to illegal parking. In the maritime law system, this kind of precedent is equivalent to declaring that this is a legal state.

After listening to Naomi's explanation, Ethan shook his head in confusion.

"Then can you accept it?" Ethan asked.

"Of course not!" Naomi shook her head immediately.

In the eyes of people living in big cities, rural Utah residents are synonymous with "ignorance," "ignorance," "poverty," "old-fashioned" and "machoism." This is a derogatory term.

As for the date, the two are not sure yet.

Ethan asked the bar staff to call a car and take Grace home.

Grace was relatively calm on the road. Although she kept saying to Ethan: "Come here quickly!", at least she didn't move her hands or feet.

Arriving at home, John couldn't help but express his gratitude to Ethan when he saw his daughter in such a state.

Los Angeles is not safe at night, especially when the distance is long. Who knows if a drunk woman will get home safely.

And when Ethan finally returned to the motel after dealing with all this, he saw Catherine lying on the corridor waiting for him.

Ethan talked to her about tonight's events, but of course, the communication with Naomi was omitted.

Catherine is puzzled by Ethan's offer to help Grace.

"I'm thinking about a question. As a player, what kind of treatment will he receive when he achieves GOAT (No. 1 in history)." Ethan raised a question.

Measured purely in terms of money, in 1994, rugby superstar Stephen Young's total annual income was US$1600, including his salary as a player and all commercial endorsement fees.

The highest annual income in football comes from Romario, with 1200 million a year.

In basketball, it's Jordan, 3200 million.

For another comparison, actor Schwarzenegger's annual income this year is 2900 million, ranking first in Hollywood and even the world.

This is of course a "sky-high price" for the current Ethan, but it may also be the ceiling for athletes.

Ethan turned around and looked at the night sky in Los Angeles, listening to the traffic in the distance, and the breeze blew on his cheeks.

From the 90s to the 10s, the world has been developing rapidly in the past 20 years, and new technologies are coming out every day.

Use this 20 years of gold in exchange for just one super player?But apart from the players, there is no second way to use the body's advantages with maximum efficiency.

Going to work in the Sacred Valley was certainly not a consideration.

"Excuse me, it's only what time and you're already dreaming." Catherine sneered.

"You're right, let's think about how to win the national championship first..." Ethan shook his head.
