Chapter 60 The shrewd Mrs. Taosi

"Dear, I'm very sorry, because I have promised Blair to accompany her to take pictures."

Serena put her arms around Jamie's neck and smacked her boyfriend on the face.

After that, I personally helped him straighten his tie, straighten his messy skirt, and then jumped off the dining table, leaving a messy "battlefield" on the table.

Ten minutes later, the two people, fully dressed, kissed again at the door of the Hampshire Building.

After reluctantly parting, Jamie helped Serena open the back door of the taxi. After Serena got in the car, she rolled down the window and waved to her boyfriend.

After watching his girlfriend leave in the car, Jamie raised his hand and stopped another taxi from the roadside.

The Taosi family had just moved to New York and were currently unable to purchase a property in a good location in Manhattan, so they chose the Kingston area of ​​Brooklyn.

There are many luxury houses and high-end communities here, and many rich and famous people choose to live here.

Mrs. Taosi's new home is a large house with a lawn and garden, located in a high-end community with good security.

When Jamie arrived, Mr. and Mrs. Tousi were greeting guests on the lawn.

Seeing Jamie get out of the car, Mrs. Taosi covered her mouth with surprise, turned around and called to a pair of children who were chatting with other guests on the lawn.

"Collins, Sean, come and see who's coming!"

"It's Jamie!"

The youngest son of the Tao Xi family, Xiao Xiao, who shares the same name with Mr. Tao Xi, shouted excitedly and then ran towards home.

Just when the surrounding guests thought that little Sean had gone in the wrong direction, the little guy rushed out of the house like a gust of wind with an extra book in his hand.

"Percy Jackson and the Fire Thief."

As soon as Jamie handed the red wine he brought as a gift to the Taosi couple, little Sean eagerly handed over the book with both hands and asked Jamie to sign it for him.

It would be great if you could also write a blessing.

Jamie was very patient and friendly when dealing with such a little book lover. Not only did he comply with his request, but he also promised to take a photo with him later.

Little Sean hugged the book excitedly and jumped up on the spot.

Collins, the Taosi couple's eldest daughter, also came over.

Compared to her younger brother, this girl with a pretty face, classic and sweet looks is much more reserved, but her beautiful eyes can't help but look curiously at Jamie, who is wearing a crisp high-cut suit and is handsome and sunny.

"Hi, I'm Collins Tausi, nice to meet you."

"Me too."

The two shook hands politely.

Jamie took the opportunity to take a second look at this girl whose appearance and temperament resembled Audrey Hepburn.

The Taosi couple enthusiastically welcomed Jamie into their garden, and were about to introduce him to the guests present when Jamie suddenly said something.

"So, where is the star of our party today?"

The guests invited by the Taosi family were all standing in the garden, looking at all white people, and there was no one that Jamie wanted to see.

The expressions of Tao Xi and his wife were stagnant.

Their attempt to convey to the guests that they were familiar with Jamie was discovered.

Fortunately, Mrs. Tao Xi reacted quickly enough and came out immediately to smooth things over.

"Sean, go get Big Mike, Jamie hasn't seen him yet today!"

This sentence left a lot of room for imagination among the guests present.

I haven’t seen you today. Does that mean I’ve seen you before?Jamie was too lazy to expose Mrs. Taosi's little trick, and just waited for today's protagonist to appear.

At this time, a tall white man came over with a glass of champagne and took the initiative to hand over his hand.

"Hello, I'm the basketball coach at Chris King High School. You can call me Will."

Although not as famous as Constance, King Chris High School is still considered one of the top high schools in New York.

This is a Catholic private high school known for its sports.

Especially in basketball, it has won several state high school league championships.

The basketball coach from King Chris High School showed up here, and any fool could see what the Tausys were planning.

First enter this strong basketball school and play for two years, then skip the NCAA and directly participate in the NBA draft.

Since there were professionals present, Jamie was able to hear their opinions on Michael's decision to switch to basketball.

"This child is very talented. His height and weight are both advantages. The most rare thing is that he is very flexible and moves very fast."

"If you just look at how he plays, you might think he is a smaller O'Neal, but in fact I think he is very versatile and can play all positions on the court."

Coach Will spoke highly of Michael.

This gave Jamie a new doubt in his mind.

Since Coach Will thinks so highly of Michael, just recruit him to King Chris.

The Taosi couple held this party today and invited Coach Will to come over. Apparently, Michael encountered some obstacles when enrolling.

Faced with Jamie's doubts, Coach Will admitted that he was indeed very optimistic about Michael's prospects of playing basketball, but Michael's academic performance was so poor that it was difficult to convince the school board to give him a special recruitment spot.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Sean, the Taosi couple's youngest son, pulling a shy, tall black man out of the house.

As Coach Will said, Michael's first impression is indeed like a smaller O'Neal, especially when little Sean, who is only 8 years old, stands aside and is only as tall as Michael's knees.

Even Jamie, who is 1.8 meters tall, is half a head shorter than Michael standing in front of him.

"Hello, Michael."

Jamie took the initiative and handed over his hand.

This big man is indeed very introverted. It is hard to imagine that such a boy with a tall body like a mountain would be shy when meeting strangers.

Mrs. Tousy put a hand on Big Mike's broad back, and the other man mustered up the courage to give his hand to Jamie.

When shaking hands, Jamie found that the other person's palm was so big that he could easily grab the basketball with one hand.

Combined with Coach Will's previous words, Jamie has determined that it is feasible for Michael to switch to basketball.

Since I agreed to come to Tao Xi's party today, of course I wanted to do something.

Jamie looked directly at Mrs. Taosi.

"So you think I can help Michael get into King Chris High School?"

Mrs. Taosi nodded very firmly and explained at the same time:

"Michael's idol is Jordan. If he can have the opportunity to meet Jordan and even get a word or two of encouragement or comments from him, Coach Will is confident that he can convince the Chris High School Board of Trustees."

To put it bluntly, I just want to ride on Jordan's popularity, mobilize public opinion, and help Michael build momentum.

Schools like Chris King can reject a talented black boy because of poor academic performance, but if the boy's talent is recognized by the basketball god Jordan, the result is another matter.
