Chapter 203 [Brave Heart]
In the evening, the Lakers returned to Los Angeles on a special plane and finally had a rest. Next, they fought continuously at home without having to fly long distances.
Guo Xu wanted to sleep in, but at 9:30 the next day, he was woken up by the phone call. The caller ID was Robert Smith, a name that could not be more common.
Isn't this person on the team? Could it be one of my Hollywood friends? He told me his real name, but I forgot it?
Pseudonyms are not uncommon in the entertainment industry. Most celebrities, or stars whose names sound ordinary, will use a fake name. Some are to protect their private lives, and some are to make them more "charming".
For example, Natalie Portman's real name is Nata Lee Heshler, which looks stranger than it reads; "Dwayne Johnson"'s real name is Dwyane Douglas Johnson; "Stone Sister" Emma Stone's real name is...
Well, this is her real name. In Northeast dialect, it is translated as "Hey Mom, Stone".
Guo Xu answered the phone and chatted for a few words before he remembered that this was one of his fans. In the time loop, he was hit by a car and flew away more than 600 times. The superhero who survived in the end was probably the nickname "Mantis Man".
Robert said in a pleading tone: "Jason, I have a request I hope you can agree, I want to invite you to lunch."
"Damn, your tone is a little sharp...you finally bent?" Guo Xu said.
Robert quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, it's because I told my girlfriend that she knows you. She is also a basketball fan and wants to meet you very much. Is it OK? She is a Chinese student."
"Just kidding about this?" Guo Xu couldn't believe it.
"How could this be a joke? I just wanted to give her a surprise and prove that I did not lie. Although she kept saying that she believed that I knew you, she must be suspicious if she couldn't see anyone."
"Okay, I'll go, can I bring a female companion with you? I'm afraid I'll be bored at noon when I have dinner with a straight man like you." Guo Xu couldn't laugh or cry.
"Of course, thank you, what is a straight man in steel?" Robert asked with a smile.
"It's someone like you."
If other fans say treats to dinner, Guo Xu will refuse 90% of them, even if the other party is a beautiful woman. Robert is exceptional. Guo Xu thinks this is a rare good person. People who are willing to sacrifice themselves to save strangers are too rare in this era. Even if their brains are a little abnormal, Guo Xu is willing to give him face.
After a while, Robert's text message was sent to Guo Xu's mobile phone, and he told him where he was the famous Michelin two-star restaurant in Beverly Hills, urasawa, a Japanese restaurant.
Japanese food occupies a great position in the United States. Its dining experience is known as an extraordinary dining experience and its gorgeous and dazzling knife skills make many people feel that no matter how much money such a meal is spent, it is willing to do so. But Guo Xu never thinks this way, and he believes that most Chinese people will not think this way either.
Guo Xu is very knowledgeable about eating. He has been to this restaurant during the time cycle. The ingredients are fresh and the taste is also good, but there are hundreds of other restaurants in the world that provide more creative food and better service. More importantly, the price of this urasawa is about 10 times that of a Michelin-star French restaurant, and may be ranked among the top ten most expensive restaurants in the United States.
If O'Neal treats to a restaurant of this level, Guo Xu goes without saying a word. O'Pangfu wants to spend money while waiting for the red light on the side of the road. Fans treat it differently. What if Robert chooses here if he pays attention to meeting him?
Rich people are stingy and say they can live a life, while poor people are generous and say they are slapped and pretend to be fat. Guo Xu doesn't want to take advantage of such fat people.
So, he called Robert and proposed to change the restaurant.
"Robert, can I change my place to eat? My girlfriend and I don't like Japanese food very much. And if your girlfriend is Chinese, she probably doesn't like it very much. You can ask her."
"Ah? I'm not thinking well. I'm so sorry, so how about going to alexander's steakhouse?" Robert asked.
"Okay." Guo Xu found that Robert was not an ordinary person. The name of the famous restaurant came at a glance, and he looked like a regular customer, so he was stress-free when spending.
This is a steak restaurant, which has been "king-like" since the opening of Los Angeles. It has easily won the top three steaks in the Los Angeles steak industry with a variety of imported top-notch Wagyu beefs.
Guo Xu called Megan Fox to drive to the appointment together. Under the guidance of the waiter, he found the reserved seat and met Robert and his girlfriend Wang Jingjing.
The restaurant is decorated in a very modern way, giving people a simple and elegant feeling, but the overall atmosphere is relaxed and lively, and there is no need to pretend to be a gentleman and whispering chat.
Robert asked Guo Xu to order dishes. Guo Xu skillfully characterized the top wagyu beef, foie gras, sea urchin tea bowl steamed, vanilla ice cream poured with chocolate sauce, etc., but he didn't order wine. He asked him and didn't drink it.
Ice cream was ordered specifically for Megan. She liked this the most and her eyes were bent after hearing Guo Xu's order.
In the time cycle, Guo Xu is a regular customer of this restaurant. He is so familiar that he knows which dish is the most popular.
Both parties introduced themselves, and Guo Xu found that the international student girl was familiar with her and asked curiously: "How did you meet each other?"
Wang Jingjing said in relatively fluent English: "One day in the cafe, a boxer harassed me. It was Robert who helped me, and then we met."
"Fernando Waggs? Did you really go that day?"
Guo Xu immediately remembered the boxing champion who had pk with him. Although the other party drank a little bit that day, it was not easy for him to defeat the boxing champion. He could remember his lifelong experience. Sometimes he regretted not going to find Waggs to pk after the time loop ended. That was something he wanted to do but didn't take risks.
As long as he beats Waggs, he will definitely be on the headlines and become a representative of tough guys in the NBA. Now, no matter how close he defends, fans think he is very soft.
Robert smiled and said, "Yes, you saved the child at that time and told me that Waggs often teases young women. I found a reporter to go nearby. I didn't expect to meet him. All this was reported. Didn't you read the news?"
"Uh... I went to play away games, didn't pay attention, did you successfully expose him?"
This is a good thing, but Guo Xu thinks that people like Waggs may not care much because he has a bad reputation.
Wang Jingjing smiled and said, "Not only, Waggs pulled me, Rob ran over and pushed him away, and confronted him... and then they started to do it. I thought he was so brave."
Guo Xu and Meghan were both shocked and looked at each other.
Guo Xu asked incredulously: "Can you also pk the boxing champion?"
After all, he has practiced boxing for a long time and is a leader in his amateur worker. He should be able to make do with it in the professional circle. He is not a match for Waggs. He won once by underestimating the opponent and getting drunk.
No matter how you look at the person in front of you, you are all ordinary people, and you don’t have muscle lines. How can you fight with the boxing champion?
Robert scratched his head embarrassedly: "I just pushed each other a few times and then he punched me, and I didn't know anything. When I woke up, I was in the hospital and was discharged from the hospital for several days."
