NBA's Chinese King: The more girlfriends I have, the stronger I become.

Chapter 170 Departure to New York, Cai Congxin Personally Welcomes Him

Wang Xiucheng and Jenna exchanged a glance.

Wang Xiucheng was surprised that the first person to call him from the Nets was not a Nets executive.

"Hello Kevin, I prefer to call you Durant," Wang Xiucheng exclaimed dramatically before speaking.

The caller was Kevin Durant of the Brooklyn Nets.

Hearing Wang Xiucheng's clearly unexpected reaction, Durant in the conversation seemed quite pleased: "Whatever makes you happy."

Durant then continued, "I'm in the manager's office right now; they have something to tell you."

After Durant finished speaking, he appeared to hand the phone to someone else.

"Hello, Wang, I am Sean Max." A deep voice came from behind.

Wang Xiucheng was a little puzzled that Sean Max and Durant were together.

Durant had previously requested a trade, so if the two met at this time, it was likely for that reason.

"If possible, you should leave for New York tonight. The boss's plane has already departed and he will let you know when it arrives."

Sean Max continued, "We're heading to China tomorrow. We have two preseason games there, you know, you have to go."

“No problem, Sean, I’m ready to go anytime,” Wang Xiucheng replied with a smile.

“Thank you for your hard work, Wang. Let’s talk again when we meet in New York,” Sean Max said finally.

After hanging up the phone, Jenna immediately screamed anxiously, "I need to pack my things quickly, I want to go to New York with you."

Wang Xiucheng smiled. If it were Houston, Jenner wouldn't be interested.

But if it were New York, Jenner would be far more familiar with the city than Wang Xiucheng.

Furthermore, Jenner also owns numerous properties and other businesses in New York.

Wang Xiucheng doesn't even need to look for a house anymore.

It's just that her daughter needs Kim Kardashian to look after her for a few days.

An office in Barlake Center, Brooklyn, New York.

Unlike the Windfield Center rented by the Houston Rockets.

The Brooklyn Nets, or rather, Tsai Tsung-hsin, completely own the Barrack Center.

Therefore, the Nets' management usually works at the Barrack Center.

Instead of working in other places like rockets.

General Manager's Office.

Sean Max ended his call with Wang Xiucheng and then looked at Durant.

"Kevin, about the trade you're going to make, I..."

Before Sean Max could finish speaking, Durant immediately waved his hand, looking completely bewildered.

"Trade? What trade? Who wants a trade?" Durant said, puzzled. "I have no idea what you're talking about."

Durant immediately stood up, seemingly talking to himself: "I'm going to China soon, I need to hurry back and pack my luggage. Hmm, I also need to bring more suitcases and some local specialties for my friends."

Muttering to himself, Durant opened the door and disappeared into the room.

Sean Max shook his head helplessly.

At the same time, I also admire the boss a little, he actually managed to get Wang Xiucheng in the deal.

Even a fool could guess that the boss and Fertitta must have reached some kind of agreement in private.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to obtain Wang Xiucheng's services.

Starting last December, Wang Xiucheng emerged like a rocket, and various teams began to keep an eye on him.

From championship contenders like the Warriors, Lakers, and Nuggets to the tanking Spurs, every team has tried to take rookie Wang Xiucheng away from Houston.

Neither the Nuggets' four first-round picks nor the assets the Nets acquired in the trade for Harden tempted the Rockets.

Even when the free agent market opened in July, more than a dozen teams immediately offered Wang Xiucheng a theoretical maximum salary of 60 million for 4 years, which left the entire league somewhat bewildered.

Just hours later, the Rockets announced a four-year, $80 million contract extension for Wang Xiucheng, seemingly bringing this farce to an end.

But no one expected that just three months later, Wang Xiucheng would be traded to the Nets by the Rockets without any warning.

It appears that the Nets traded All-Star player Kyrie Irving for undrafted rookie Xiu Cheng.

However, Irving made it clear that he would not renew his contract, and if he is not traded this year, he will be left with nothing next summer.

Other players might say this as a tactical statement, but Kyrie Irving is someone who would actually do it.

Furthermore, trading Kyrie Irving for Wang Xiucheng indirectly solved the Durant problem.

The reason Durant asked to leave Brooklyn was that Harden's departure broke up the Big Three system, and it was impossible for him and Irving, who often didn't play, to win a championship.

The Warriors' championship win this year has further motivated Durant; he wants another title.

A championship that has nothing to do with the Warriors.

Keeping Durant was not Sean Marks's idea.

The Nets gave the Rockets two options: Durant or Irving.

Kyrie Irving is younger, healthier, and plays point guard, which would be perfect to fill the void left by Wang Xiucheng's departure.

But Durant has a contract, making him a safer option than Irving.

But the Rockets still chose Irving.

In Shawn Marks' view, this was a risky move without Irving's assurance.

Fortunately, all of this has nothing to do with the Nets or Shawn Marks anymore.

……

Wang Xiucheng never expected that the person waiting for him at the plane gate would be Brooklyn Nets owner Cai Congxin.

Even Wang Xiucheng was somewhat flattered and quickly boarded the plane.

"Hello, boss." Wang Xiucheng extended his hand and said politely in Chinese.

This was not the first time Wang Xiucheng had met Cai Congxin.

During the June draft, Wang Xiucheng personally went to the Barclays Center in New York to welcome Jabari Jr. and Ethan. Wang Xiucheng met Cai Congxin at the event that day.

The two didn't talk much at the time. Cai Congxin asked, seemingly jokingly, "Do you want to come to the Nets?"

Wang Xiucheng nodded in agreement.

Who wouldn't want to play ball for a boss who's easy, pays well, and is also a fellow countryman?

Of course, Wang Xiucheng was also being polite, after all, he couldn't refuse the other party's request.

Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for several months, Wang Xiucheng has actually become a member of the Nets.

"Alright, stop pretending in front of me and relax." Cai Congxin patted Wang Xiucheng on the shoulder, somewhat amused.

He knew very well what Wang Xiucheng was like on the field.

Cai Congxin was deeply impressed by Wang Xiucheng's powerful dunk from the free-throw line during the game against the Lakers, followed by his imposing thumbs-up and the number "12" behind him while standing under the basket.

Cai Congxin could hardly believe that a Chinese person could actually become the focus of attention in that venue.

It was from that time that Cai Congxin decided he absolutely had to get Wang Xiucheng.

Cai Congxin looked at the slender and beautiful figure behind Wang Xiucheng with a slightly shocked expression: "I was wondering why you were in Los Angeles. You've been hiding it well."

Behind Wang Xiucheng was Jenna, dressed in a simple yet stylish outfit.

She wore a loose white T-shirt with a cute cartoon print, paired with light blue jeans with the cuffs slightly rolled up to reveal her slender, fair ankles, and white sneakers. She looked youthful and energetic.

When she saw Cai Congxin and Wang Xiucheng looking at her, Jenna lowered her head somewhat shyly.

Wang Xiucheng smiled wryly, unsure how to respond.

Jenna and Tsai Tsung-hsin had already arranged for their luggage to be loaded onto the plane.

“Ma Wei, you two go back first. Tomorrow, go to Houston and use Jenna’s plane to transport the rest of your luggage to New York,” Wang Xiucheng said to Ma Wei and the Wu brothers, Wu Di and Wu Jia.

Wang Xiucheng only brought three pieces of luggage this time; most of his belongings are still in Houston.

"I know, brother."

After Ma Wei and his companions efficiently packed their belongings, they watched the plane take off towards New York before driving away from the airport.

Wang Xiucheng stared at the interior of the plane with shining eyes.

This plane is far more luxurious and larger than Jenna's.

So, as I always say, it's really good to be rich.

Even though Jenner is already very rich, compared to truly wealthy people, she is nothing.

What's your opinion on Nash?

After chatting casually for a few minutes, Cai Congxin got straight to the point.

He came to pick up Wang Xiucheng in person today not only because he had time, but also because he wanted to ask Wang Xiucheng for his opinion on some issues.

After all, compared to Durant, Wang Xiucheng is the future of the Nets.

To put it bluntly, how many more years can Durant, who is already 34 years old, play?

But Wang Xiucheng is different; at only 19 years old, he has a long professional career ahead of him.

Upon hearing this, Wang Xiucheng knew that Cai Congxin was asking him if he wanted to cooperate with Nash.

If I say "no," then I estimate that Nash will be fired immediately after I return from China.

It seems that Cai Congxin has some distrust of Nash's abilities.

Last season in the playoffs, the Nets were swept 4-0 by the Celtics in the first round.

This is unlikely to satisfy Cai Congxin, who has paid a huge amount of luxury tax.

Even the most refined and gentle person cannot watch so much money go down the drain every year without having any complaints.

"I've never worked with Coach Nash, so I can't say anything about it right now."

Wang Xiucheng paused slightly, "Why don't you give him a little more time, and give me a little more time too?"

Cai Congxin immediately understood Wang Xiucheng's underlying message.

As a legendary point guard, Hall of Famer, and member of the 75, Nash has so much to teach Wang Xiucheng.

Cai Congxin nodded, having made his decision.

If Nash can genuinely pass on his experience and skills to Wang Xiucheng, he won't cut Nash even if the team's performance this season is still poor.

Of course, this "poor performance" doesn't mean they've really plummeted to the bottom; they still need to secure a playoff spot.

There's still a long time to go, and temporary achievements are far less important than enabling Wang Xiucheng to grow rapidly.

At the same time, Cai Congxin also looked at Wang Xiucheng with new respect. With such a shrewd and calculating young man, how could his future achievements be anything but good?

Jenna sat at the back of the plane, watching her man and Cai Congxin chatting with their heads down, and couldn't help but feel proud.

The biggest investment I've ever made in my life wasn't that property, nor that brand.

It was this man!

Although she couldn't understand what the two people were saying in Chinese, she could tell from their expressions that they were having a pleasant conversation.

"Miss Jenna, may I take a picture with you?"

At that moment, a flight attendant from the private jet came over with a bottle of drink and some fruit, and asked as she put the items down.

"Of course." Jenna smiled and posed for a photo with the person.

This action also excited others, who came over and took photos with Jenner.

Jenner is one of the top internet celebrities in the entire United States, and I can't believe I saw her on my boss's plane today.

"Don't tell outsiders about my relationship with Wang Xiucheng."

Although she knew these people were unlikely to go around spreading rumors, she still said something for Wang Xiucheng's sake.

Everyone nodded.

To be able to work on Tsai Tsung-hsin's private jet for so long, keeping one's mouth shut is naturally the most important thing; otherwise, the boss's secrets would have been leaked long ago.

Hearing the commotion behind him, Cai Congxin turned around and said with a hint of mockery, "Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman."

Wang Xiucheng smiled wryly, "You know, whether you look at it from an American or Chinese perspective, Jenner is a great beauty. She was always clinging to me, and I couldn't resist her."

"I'd heard that Booker and Jenner hadn't been in touch for a long time, so that's what happened," Cai Congxin said, then fell silent.

Wang Xiucheng was slightly taken aback. So Cai Congxin was also a gossip enthusiast.

"She's from the Kardashian family, you know that, right?" Cai Congxin hesitated for a moment before reminding him.

Although he didn't care about this family, he was afraid that it would affect Wang Xiucheng.

“Jenna just gave birth to my daughter last month.” Wang Xiucheng took out his phone, found a picture of his daughter, and showed it to Cai Congxin with a smile.

Cai Congxin looked at the photo with a surprised expression and said with some understanding, "No wonder Jenna looks a bit chubby. She's wearing casual clothes. She's hiding her figure."

Cai Congxin withdrew his gaze, feeling somewhat relieved.

Men who have children tend to be more stable, which is a good thing for Wang Xiucheng.

But my fellow countryman is really something else, managing to win over Jenner and even get her to have his child.

If Jenner's fans found out, Wang Xiucheng's safety would be in danger.

Thinking of this, Cai Congxin glanced at the flight attendants, seemingly lost in thought.

……

When Wang Xiucheng and Jenna arrived in New York, it was already 8 p.m.

As one of the most prosperous cities on the planet, this is the time when New York is just waking up.

The 78th-floor penthouse at the Four Seasons Hotel in Tribeca, Lower Manhattan.

Standing on the platform, looking at the bustling street scene of New York, Wang Xiucheng couldn't help but ask in astonishment, "How much does this apartment cost?"

Jenna, standing behind her, proudly said, "3200 million, bought five years ago, it should be worth at least 4000 million now."

Wang Xiucheng shook his head. "You're really rich. I can't afford it even if I wanted to."

Despite signing a four-year, 80 million yuan contract and securing numerous endorsements, Wang Xiucheng simply couldn't bring himself to spend 40 million dollars to buy the apartment.

Of course, just because we can't do it now doesn't mean we won't be able to do it after the World Cup starts next month.

“What’s mine is yours too.” Jenna took Wang Xiucheng’s hand and kissed him in the beautiful New York moonlight.

Jenna, who was ten months pregnant, had been waiting for this day to come.

She had so many emotions she wanted to express to this man.

"Here?" Wang Xiucheng held Jenna in his arms and looked at the neon-lit scenery outside the open-air platform.

“Right here.” Jenna, already impatient, ripped open Wang Xiucheng’s clothes.

And so, the next moment, a long-awaited battle unfolded in New York.
