The next morning, Xiao Yang woke up groggily. He looked at Charlizé, who was still sleeping in his arms, and thought of the madness he had last night. The corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. He did not expect his relationship with Queen Theron to develop so quickly. He looked at the girl in his arms gently and could not help but lower his head to kiss her.
"Oh ~" Charlizards felt the moisture on his forehead and slowly opened his eyes. His bright eyes were filled with laziness. He raised his head slightly to look at Xiao Yang and smiled faintly."Good morning, Mr. Knight ~" He even snuggled into Xiao Yang's arms like a kitten.
" Humph, you're flirting with me so early in the morning. I'll punish you on the spot." Xiao Yang could not resist such temptation. He immediately turned over and began his morning exercise.
……
An hour later, the two of them finished their morning exercise while panting.
" I'm going to take a shower, and then I'll make you breakfast." Charaz kissed Xiao Yang on the side of his face." Lie down for a while. You can get up after I'm done."”
" There's no need to go through so much trouble. Let's just shower together." Xiao Yang laughed and carried Charlizé like a princess. He walked towards the bathroom, but the two of them stayed there for another hour.
Having been nourished by love, Charaz was radiant. Every frown and smile revealed a myriad of charms. Xiao Yang, who was sitting at the dining table, looked at Charaz and laughed foolishly for a long time. He was finally not alone in this world. He had even won a South African diamond that he had never dared to dream of before.
" Darling, do you want to move to my place and live with me?" Xiao Yang raised his eyebrows and asked Charaz. 'If Charaz moves in with me, wouldn't he be happy every day? Haha,' Xiao Yang thought mischievously.
"Yes, I'll stay here for the time being. My mother often comes here to visit me. It's not convenient for her to live too far away.”Charaz looked at Xiao Yang apologetically and held his hand."I'm sorry, Xiao ~"
" It's okay. I can come over often to date you." Xiao Yang could only comfort Charaz.
"Oh right, I'm going to film again soon ~" Charaz smiled and changed the topic."I'm so lucky this year to be able to film two movies ~"
"Haha, I knew you would definitely become a big star. Give me an autograph. When you become a big star, it will definitely be very valuable.
" Xiao Yang looked at Charaz and said cheerfully.
"Annoying ~" Charlizards rolled his eyes at Xiao Yang."By the way, it's the off-season soon. What are your plans?"”Charaz asked curiously.
" Well, the team's matters are basically handed over to West. If there's nothing special, I won't interfere. Let's play this year first and strengthen ourselves in the middle. We'll try our best to go further in the playoffs.”Xiao Yang also felt that there wasn't much room for maneuver this year. Anyway, he would play first. The main thing was to let Kobe grow as soon as possible.
As for O'Neal, Xiao Yang had already decided to ignore him. If he had not been afraid that his record would not be guaranteed if all of them were rookies this year, and that the media and fans would not be able to get along with him if they lost frequently, he would have considered trading O'Neal. Damn it, when he thought of the argument between the two that day, Xiao Yang gritted his teeth so hard that they made cracking sounds.
Let him lead the team this year. Otherwise, if he was really traded to the Los Angeles Clippers and didn't make the playoffs, the fans would really tear him apart.
"Yeah, you guys signed O'Neal this year, and your strength has increased a lot. I also heard that the rookie number 13 you picked has performed well. He should be able to go further in the playoffs.”Charaz did not know the relationship between Xiao Yang and O'Neal. He nodded. As a Laker fan, he was looking forward to the performance of the Lakers this season.
" By the way, I might be going to Orlando in the next few days." Xiao Yang remembered something he had thought of on the road the day before yesterday. He decided to make a trip down personally to find Plank. Regardless of whether Under Armand was still in existence, Plank was able to bring Under Armand to the second highest position in the industry in the future. This person's ability in business was also top-notch.
"Why are you going to maryland?" Charaz blinked and looked at Xiao Yang in confusion.
" To spend money." Xiao Yang raised an eyebrow at Charlizé mysteriously.
"Tsk, so mysterious." Charaz pouted." You must be careful on the road. I heard that the law and order in the State of maryland isn't very good. Don't go out at night and don't go to places with fewer people during the day, understand?"”The Queen transformed into a little woman and nagged.
"Okay, I'll take good care of myself. You too ~ Take care of yourself when you're filming. Don't stay up late.”Xiao Yang looked at Charaz tenderly. It felt good to have a girlfriend who cared about him.

A day later, Xiao Yang found the route and the office phone number of the University of Pennsylvania. He flew to Washington alone and rented a car from a rental company near the airport. He drove to University Park, Prince George County, Princeton, which was only 13 kilometers away from Washington. The University of Pennsylvania was located there.
Xiao Yang did not even bother looking for a hotel when he arrived. He went straight to the University of Pennsylvania.
"Hello, this is the office of the University of Pennsylvania. How can I help you?”A question came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, can I find a student?”Xiao Yang wasn't sure if he could inquire about a student's information over the phone.
Sure enough, the other end of the phone politely refused." I'm sorry, sir. We can't reveal anyone's privacy.”
Xiao Yang hung up the phone helplessly. He could only ask someone. If he remembered correctly, Plank was once a football star at the University of maryland. He should have graduated by now. He should go to the football team and ask. Someone should know where he lived now.
Xiao Yang asked a few students around and found the soccer team, which happened to be training. Xiao Yang looked at the field and walked over to a middle-aged man who looked like a coach and was shouting at the sidelines.
"Hello, excuse me." Xiao Yang smiled politely at the man.
"Yes, who are you?" The middle-aged man stopped shouting and looked at Xiao Yang.
"My name is Yang Xiao." After a pause, he said," You can call me Xiao. I'm here to look for someone. I'm not sure if you know him. His name is Kevin Plank."”Xiao Yang stated his objective in one breath.
" Call me Karim," he replied with a smile." You mean Kevin? Of course I know him. He's a celebrity in maryland. It's a pity that he graduated this year. Otherwise, our grades would have been even better this year.”Karim shook his head in pity.
"Can you tell me where Kevin lives now?”Xiao Yang did not expect things to go so smoothly. He found the right person on his first try.
"He lives next to the university. I heard that he has stopped playing football and opened a clothing store?”Karim scratched his head, looking a little regretful that Kevin did not continue to play football." Why are you looking for him?”
"Haha, I want to talk business with him ~" Xiao Yang laughed.
" That kid has been thinking about business since he was in college." Karim shook his head with some pity. In his opinion, these were all crooked ways. Plank should focus on training and competition.
---，---
Xiao Yang took the address Karim had given him and found a small, remote warehouse next to the University of Pennsylvania.
Looking at the dilapidated warehouse in front of him, with the sign of Under Armour hanging on it, Xiao Yang's mouth twitched. He did not expect a sports brand worth tens of billions of dollars to be born in such a shabby place.
"Is anyone there?" Xiao Yang walked in.
"Hmm? Who are you looking for?" A young figure walked out from behind the shelf. He was wearing a shabby shirt with his sleeves pulled up to reveal his strong forearms. He was holding a few packaged clothes in his hands. It was obvious that he had been tidying up the shelf.
"Are you Kevin Plank?”Xiao Yang sized up the young man in front of him and asked.
"That's right, it's me. Is there anything you need from me?”Plank looked at Xiao Yang.
" I have a business deal with you." Xiao Yang pulled out a chair and sat down.
"Haha, do you want to place an order? Don't worry, everything I have here is the best.”Plank was overjoyed. Ever since he started Anderma after graduation, he had spent 20,000 dollars of his college savings, maxed out five credit cards, and owed 40,000 dollars in debt. However, he couldn't hold on until he received an order, and he was getting more and more confused about the future.
Now that this man had come to him and said that he wanted to discuss business with him, no one knew how excited he was at this moment. It was as if someone had handed him a bowl of water when he was about to die of thirst in the desert. If there was really an order, his Anderma would be able to survive. He did not want to miss it.
"No, I won't place an order." Xiao Yang shook his head.
"No orders? Then what do you mean by business?" Plank could almost see the bowl of water in the desert being splashed into the sand.
" I want to acquire your company." Xiao Yang looked at Plank, whose expression kept changing, with a little bit of mischief, and told him the purpose of his trip.
"Acquire…acquire?" Plank looked at Xiao Yang in shock. He knew his own business. His company was called a company in a nice way, but in fact, it was just a small warehouse under his feet. Even the goods were contracted by him from other factories. It was only slightly better than a shell company. Now that someone was actually looking for him to buy it, he even suspected that this person was teasing him.
"That's right. Don't doubt me. If you don't believe me, you can call this number to confirm my identity.”Xiao Yang handed over a business card with his name and phone number printed on it. It was made of pure silver, and the back of the card had the LOGO of the Los Angeles Clippers inlaid in gold.
Plank looked at the expensive business card in his hand. He didn't need to call to know that someone who could take out such a business card wouldn't have the time to play with a kid who still owed money.
His lips were trembling with excitement. At that moment, Plank felt as if he had seen Xiao Yang pour the water out of the bowl, tell him that the bowl was too small, and then take out a large bucket of pure water and put it in front of him.
Everyone, please send me your flowers. By the way, why do I feel like I'm too honest? Every chapter I write is comparable to two chapters of others. When I read other people's novels on my phone, I only need to flip three or four pages for each chapter. Then, I look at my own novel. I've flipped seven or eight pages. Haha, it's good that everyone is enjoying it. Remember to add it to your collection ~~~~~
