Du Jianguo was a top student back then. He was one of the first batch of people in the country to study abroad. Then, he felt that it was easier to survive in America and that the salary was higher, so he left Duke and his son in the country and worked hard outside.
Like Vanessa's first husband, Duke's mother had died when he was still young, leaving him alone at his grandmother's house.
When he was ten years old, Du Jianguo, who felt that he had a successful career outside, brought him to live in America. Unfortunately, Du Jianguo went bankrupt in less than two years. At the age of 34, he was fired by his boss.
Originally, the IT industry was a new industry with a very promising future. However, Du Jianguo, who was Chinese, was not liked in the company because of his skin color. He was laid off after his thirties when others were rushing to the peak of their careers or higher positions.
The boss sent him away after giving him a sum of money.
During this period, Du Jianguo kept looking for a job, but because of his age, he was hit with a wall everywhere. Even if they found a job, they would leave hastily because the salary was too low and did not meet their expectations.
In the end, he decided to start his own business and sell computers.
However, during the financial crisis, he successfully went bankrupt.
However, he had the strength to not admit defeat and started to fiddle with second-hand appliances. Unexpectedly, a year later, his cash flow was not good and he went bankrupt again.
Then, he turned to the stock market and played with the stock market. He had to buy a stock that was about to be delisted at a cheap price and make a big profit. Then…
He went bankrupt again!
He was really a model of encouragement.
Due to the ups and downs of his career, Duke kept moving houses and changing schools. In the end, Old Du successfully resigned himself to his fate. At the age of 40, he settled down in New York's Chinatown and stopped working on his business.
Unfortunately, two years later, he finally managed to earn some money by working part-time. His desire to start a business was revived, and he quickly opened this small supermarket.
Duke didn't know how long this supermarket could play with him. Duke had already given up on this iron road of starting a business. Now, he only cared about his relationship.
Vanessa's boyfriend was from the Mexican Empire. He was a bastard who abandoned his wife and daughter in his early years. He frequented nightclubs all year round. Not only did he wander around with women, but he also accompanied her with drugs all day long.
When Vanessa really couldn't take it anymore and brought her daughter to look for him, she received the news that he had already died of poison, making their lives even worse.
In the end, the mother and daughter moved out of Miami and started a new life in New York.
Coincidentally, Chinatown was the cheapest place in Manhattan, New York. They met the Du father and son in a coffee shop.
Vanessa was the manager of the coffee shop. She met Du Jianguo, who had just moved here. The latter often went to the coffee shop to spend money and think about life. His melancholic temperament attracted her when she was not working.
Old Du's melancholic temperament was fatal and charming, making people want to explore. Vanessa became the one who took the initiative.
Under her repeated greetings, the two of them gradually became familiar with each other. Perhaps it was because they had similar circumstances and were living very miserably, they felt that they were in the same boat.
Coupled with the fact that they lived on the same street, they helped each other out and developed a certain tacit understanding.
Regrettably, she was interested in Old Du, but because of his conservative and self-esteem, Old Du did not dare to implicate her when his career was not going well. He had always turned a blind eye to her secret expressions.
In the next few years, Old Du, who had failed to survive, brought his son back to the country and never set foot on the US territory again.
Later, Duke, who was on a business trip to the United States, once went to Chinatown to look for Vanessa and her daughter. However, he was told that they had left the place sadly not long after they returned to the country.
By the time Duke ran into Vanessa's daughter, Lena Ebley, it was already more than ten years later. He then learned from her that after Vanessa left Chinatown, she did not marry or remarry. She was depressed for a few years and eventually died in the hospital.
It was also at that time that Duke found out that Vanessa had always loved Old Du. When they returned to China, she had been thinking about him…
F * ck, such a melodramatic and touching plot actually happened to the father and son.
This was also the reason why Duke had always hated Old Du for failing to live up to his expectations.
Now that Duke had been reborn, not only did his body mutate, but he also had the right to pursue his dreams. It also gave him the chance to change the melodramatic plot.
At night, in order to celebrate the return of his son's missing person, Old Du personally demonstrated his perfect cooking skills. Four dishes and a soup were served on the table, and Vanessa was invited to eat with him.
During dinner, Old Du kept asking Duke about where he had gone missing for the past half a month. Duke smiled and said nothing. He kept saying that he would find out in a few days. He was very mysterious, which made Old Du unhappy.
While he was unhappy, he kept avoiding Vanessa's gentle gaze.
The draft was held on June 26th at New York's Madisson Square Garden.
As NBA fans, the Duke father-son duo sat by the TV early in the morning, waiting for the game to start.
The reason why he paid so much attention to the draft was not only because of this year's top scorer, Big Yao, who came from his hometown, but also because Du Jianguo was concerned about what kind of rookie Michael Jordan's prodigy would choose to strengthen.
The Wizards had three picks this year, the 11th pick, the 17th pick, and the 39th pick in the second round.
