1994: I Became a Literary Master in America

Chapter 30: If you cross this line, I'll break your legs!

A few minutes later, the first half ended.

Everyone sat down to rest on the sidelines, and some people went to Elizabeth Street to buy drinks.

Xu Shengjie had a box sent to those Swedes in Golan.

Although they don't like each other, they resolve problems on the field on the field, and there's no real tension off the field.

Wang Dajun and Cheng were hanging out together, gossiping incessantly.

How do you know he's an old slave?

"Just a guess."

"How did you guess?"

"Look at his servile manner, he's no different from his ancestors."

"Mr. Xu, I'm sure you have some misunderstanding about the Qing people?"

Hu Jun couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Xu Shengjie's conversation.

Oh right, he was also a Qing person!

However, this person didn't utter any obsequious words afterward, and because he kept a low profile, no scandals were ever reported.

In the acting profession, especially for Chinese actors, the consequences of not being able to control one's mouth are severe.

For example, the future "Wolf Warrior" was initially quite popular. However, his public image plummeted after he said, "His ancestors were from the Plain White Banner, descendants of Dorgon, and the post office on a certain street used to be my family's ancestral property."

At the very least, Xu Shengjie had completely lost any goodwill towards him.

"It's not a misunderstanding, it's just that I think this person is too cowardly and too weak."

Xu Shengjie didn't want to make enemies for no reason. He had no grudges against Hu Jun... well, in his past life, he wasn't even close to being her.

But Your Majesty...

That was a deep-seated hatred.

Even after being reborn, Xu Shengjie still harbored resentment towards the two kings' domineering ways.

All he did was say, "Are two grown men making things difficult for a young girl? Are they even men?" And that wasn't even in a public setting, but at a private gathering with friends. Yet, he was blacklisted and even kicked out of the entertainment industry.

Damn, the entertainment industry makes so much money!

Xu Shengjie's future was ruined because of the movie "Brothers".

He will remember this hatred for the rest of his life!

I never expected to run into Wang Dajun in New York, and he's not even a big shot like him. If he doesn't get his revenge, his Dao heart won't be stable!

After giving him a good scolding, I feel refreshed and invigorated.

……

Twenty minutes passed quickly, and the second half of the game began.

Before the Swedes could get into the game, Zhang Ping'an, nicknamed the "Chinatown Van Basten," made a long run into the penalty area. He was then tackled by Liam and crashed into the goalpost, falling to the ground screaming in pain.

These Swedes are retaliating!

In retaliation for Xu Shengjie's collision with Golan.

Of course, the referee still dutifully gave Liam a yellow card, but Zhang Ping'an could no longer continue and had to leave the field. The Chinatown Neighborhood Team made another substitution! This time, they didn't choose from the international students because Roger had arrived... Upon seeing this, he immediately replaced Zhang Ping'an, and upon entering the field, he glared fiercely at Liam.

"Calm down, we're still behind."

"Don't worry, I'll make that kid suffer."

The game restarted, and Tommy stepped up to take the penalty kick, making it 1-1.

Then, the Swedes started fighting desperately.

Especially that Swedish kid named Ztanla, who was clearly a cut above the rest, and his footwork was also very nimble.

Xu Shengjie was caught off guard and left in a sorry state.

"Is this guy a professional player?"

He asked angrily.

Golan chuckled but did not reply.

Turning back, Ztanra broke through with the ball again.

Xu Shengjie didn't hold back, delivering a vicious tackle that sent Zitanra flying, rolling twice on the ground and screaming in pain as he clutched his leg.

Xu Shengjie drew a line on the ground viciously.

"Kid, if you dare cross this line again, I'll break your legs."

"Hey, he's still a child."

Golan rushed over and shoved Xu Shengjie.

Xu Shengjie, not to be outdone, barked at Golan's head and yelled, "Shut up, you Swedish Cuck! This is war! From the moment you started squinting, this has been a war. I warned you!"

He remembered when Zitanla squinted at Xu Shengjie earlier.

Golan's face was extremely grim because they called the Chinese "Chinamen," while Xu Shengjie retorted with "Swedish barbarians," which were essentially the same thing.

Therefore, it is essential to learn the local swear words when you go abroad.

When Xu Shengjie was bedridden, he studied all kinds of swearing and discriminatory language.

Unexpectedly, it actually found a use.

Fortunately, although Xu Shengjie's attack looked ferocious, he didn't actually try to kill him.

A fatal flaw!

Zitanra recovered quickly and limped back to his half of the field.

The game continued, but it was clear that the Swedes' offensive had slowed down considerably.

At least, Zitanla no longer dared to break through recklessly, which greatly reduced the pressure on Xu Shengjie.

Fierce defense, tough attitude!

It attracted the attention of Michel Tafoya, who was watching from the sidelines.

"Snow, what's that guy's name, and what does he do?"

Jeffrey Tsu is an American.

"He was very fierce, which gave me a different perspective on Chinese people... By the way, he looked quite young, a student?"

"He's a writer."

Zhou Wenqiong answered from the side.

Her spoken English and listening skills have improved a lot. Michelle speaks with a very strong New York accent, but she has no problem with it.

"A writer? Doesn't look like one!"

Michelle asked curiously, "What books did he write?"

"I don't know, but the first book is finished and it's said to be published soon."

"I'm really looking forward to it."

Gong Xue lowered her voice and said, "Don't talk nonsense. It would be very embarrassing if it didn't get published."

"He can do it. I heard from Aunt Zhang that he seems to have found a very capable agent."

"When did she say that? How come I didn't know?"

"Yesterday, Chief James of the Fifth Precinct called and mentioned it to Aunt Zhang. I happened to be there and overheard it."

However, I don't remember the agent's name.

Sister Xue, you know, foreign names can be quite complicated sometimes.

Gong Xue hugged her and whispered in her ear, "Why are you starting to speak up for him now? Didn't you say before that you were quite disgusted by him?"

Hehe, are you tempted?

"How old am I, and how old is he?"

If this were in China, he'd call me "Auntie" without any problem. But this guy is really muscular! I couldn't tell when he was wearing a jacket, but on the court… those V-lines, those abs! He looks like he's on par with athletes.”

"Hehehe, you can be an old cow eating young grass."

"Come on, I have no interest in all that. I just want to get used to life here as soon as possible, meet Aunt Zhang's requirements, and have the opportunity to perform on stage."

"Hehe, then you have to do your best!"

When a woman gets aroused, men really don't stand a chance.

Moreover, they are two well-informed women.

Let's not even talk about Gong Xue. Zhou Wenqiong is also an actress. What hasn't she seen?

They spoke in hushed tones in Chinese, and Michelle, having achieved her goal, left with the videographer.

They need to find the next source material.

As the match drew to a close, both sides were starting to tire.

Including Zitanla!

After all, he is only thirteen years old.

Especially after being stunned by Xu Shengjie's shovel, they clearly lacked confidence afterwards.

Although he attacked Xu Shengjie twice, it didn't pose much of a threat, so Xu Shengjie didn't go all out again.

In the end, the two sides shook hands and drew 1-1.

Both Golan and Xu Shengjie were covered in sweat and gave each other a friendly hug.

"We didn't get enough playing time this time, so let's come again if we have the chance."

"No problem, I'll be in Chinatown for the next few years, ready to serve you anytime."

Xu Shengjie then stopped Zitala, saying, "Kid, you played well, but don't be too arrogant. You'll definitely make it big in the future."

He didn't recognize who Ztanla was until near the end of the match.

My great Fengxian!

This guy is really hard to deal with. He's six years older than Brother Fengxian, but to be honest, you can't control him without using unconventional methods.

However, this guy will be quite a troublemaker on the field later on.

Xu Shengjie even took a photo with Zitanla. When this guy becomes famous in the future, this will be all dirt on him.

……

There were no further conflicts!

This match also made these Swedes much more docile.

There's no point in reasoning with these Vikings; the best approach is to fight back.

Originally, Zhang Ping'an was going to treat everyone to a meal. He was a wealthy man now, with tens of thousands of dollars in his account, so he was very generous.

Xu Shengjie refused.

"I need to go back, take a shower, change my clothes, and go watch the game."

"What ball game?"

"Knicks vs. Rockets, Game 4 of the Finals today."

"Wow, you actually managed to get tickets to the finals?"

"Yes, the second row."

"Shit, those are great seats! How did you get them? The scalpers outside are selling front-row tickets for $700 and you still can't get them. You actually managed to get them. You're really lucky... Go on, let's get together again later."

The Knicks will win!

This guy is a Knicks fan.

But Jordan was his idol...

It's just that I was short of money before and didn't have the opportunity to watch the games live.

Now that I have the money, I want to buy tickets, but I can't find a way... After all, this is the Knicks' NBA Finals game.

Xu Shengjie didn't mention where his ticket came from, he just chuckled and sped away on his motorcycle.
