"The New York Knicks have successfully renewed the contract with the non-draft player, Tang Fei, until the end of the season, with an annual salary of 3.3 million US dollars. I wish him the best in his future games.”
At noon, when the New York fans were having lunch, the news of Tang Fei's contract extension was posted on the Knicks 'official website. The fans who were scrolling through the official website were extremely excited.
"Dolan finally made the right decision.”
"That's delightful news, the Uniforms have finally done something nice.”
"Dunn, he's going to be ours this season. Wow, I'm so excited!”
"This is the right choice. If they don't renew the contract, I'll take my gun and shoot Phil. I'll send this old man to hell.”
The fans were happily discussing the news of Tang Fei's contract extension. In their opinion, it was more exciting than the return of Anthony and Stoudemire. The latter two were already used to getting injured, who knew when they would get injured again. Their comeback was not as exciting as the home team's renewed contract with a rookie with monstrous talent.
In an inconspicuous Chinese restaurant, the fans were celebrating excitedly when the wooden door suddenly opened and a tall guy with long arms came in. The most eye-catching thing was that the guy was wearing the Knicks uniform and looked like a loyal fan.
However, after seeing the other party's face clearly, everyone stood up excitedly.
"It's Dunn. He actually appeared here.”
"God, he's so handsome. He looks like a natural fit for the Knicks!”
"This is too crazy. He actually came before us.”
Perhaps it was very difficult for these people to get tickets at New York's home stadium, so they couldn't see their idol up close. They could only watch it on TV, which was why they were so excited. Tang Fei greeted them with a smile and found a seat.
The person who greeted him was also a little fangirl. Just standing beside him, she was already so excited that she couldn't control herself. Her eyes were almost watery. If it wasn't for her professional ethics that controlled her behavior, she would probably have pounced on her and hugged her.
"Give me a tomato scrambled egg.”
Tang Fei was only used to eating Chinese food. Even though he had been in America for so long, he still missed it very much. He also took advantage of the fact that the Knicks uniform team had not specially prepared a nutritious meal for him to quickly savor it.
"No oil, is it?" When the blonde girl asked, her eyes shone with excitement.
“bingo!”
Tang Fei was surprised to find that this girl was so understanding and immediately gave her an encouraging look.
Heavens, he was so handsome!
The girl, whose heart had been stirred by his cute and handsome appearance, blushed extremely red, but she handed the pen and paper to him and asked earnestly.
"Can you give me an autograph?"
"Of course, why not?" Tang Fei was very straightforward and signed his name without putting on any airs.
“yes!”The girl waited for him to finish signing and immediately left excitedly.
However, Tang Fei did not expect that the moment the girl left, more guys would appear. His actions just now were too approachable. The nearby customers immediately followed suit and surrounded him.
Tang Fei finally heaved a sigh of relief after signing dozens of names and taking several photos with them. He sat down alone.
The advance payment he had applied for had been received, and it was the $200,000 after tax that he had specifically requested. The first thing he did after getting the money was to go to the bank and transfer 50,000 yuan to his mother at home. He also gave 20,000 yuan to his best friend. He had to scrimp and save for the rest.
Although signing a mini middle-class contract looked like a lot of money and a millionaire, in reality, the taxes of the Federation and New York were very high. The amount that could be obtained was only slightly more than half. A Knicks player with an annual salary of more than $400,000 would have to pay 38% federal tax and 9% New York state tax.
The cost of living in New York was also very high. Like Los Angeles and Hollywood, it was the highest in the United States. If he didn't scrimp and save, he would soon go bankrupt.
Tang Fei was used to being poor, so he basically split his money in half.
The girl finally served the dishes. Tang Fei picked up his chopsticks and was ready to have a hearty meal when a guy sat down. His hair was neatly combed and he was dressed in a suit. He looked like a very successful elite, but from the cheap shirt that peeked out from his suit, he knew that this person was probably looking for a job.
"Hello, Dunn!"
After the man sat down, he was a little reserved. He looked at Tang Fei with a slightly agitated expression, but he was afraid that he would be rude, so he greeted him very carefully.
"Hello, are you going to have dinner with me?”Tang Fei looked at him in confusion.
"Oh, no, I've already eaten!”
The man looked at the tomato scrambled egg in front of Tang Fei and gulped. He was obviously lying. His stomach rumbled again, making him even more embarrassed.
Tang Fei did not care about this. He did not know what this guy wanted to do. There were so many seats in the restaurant, but he chose to sit at his table. Clearly, there was something going on.
"And you are?"
"Oh, right!"
The man suppressed the urge to eat and took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Tang Fei.
"Phyllis Downey? A manager? Oh, and a lawyer?" Tang Fei took the business card and studied it for a while before he understood.
