Chapter 604 The Château de Cheval Blanc Hotel in Paris
The Nets were out of sorts in this game. Although they scored 118 points, more than 30 of those points came from the bench.
The performances of Wang Xiucheng, Towns, and Durant's Big Three were completely different from their performances in the Mid-Season Championship.
Wang Xiucheng only scored 18 points in this game, which can be considered a new low for the season.
Towns and Durant each scored less than 15 points.
Westbrook, as always, was full of energy, scoring a team-high 20 points along with 10 assists and 10 rebounds, achieving his first triple-double of the new season.
From the 13th to the 18th, the Nets played four more away games.
In these four games, the Nets only narrowly defeated the Suns, but lost to the Nuggets, Warriors, and Jazz.
The Nets' continuous road trip in the West ended with a final three-game losing streak.
Let alone the players, even the fans who have been following the team westward can't stand it anymore.
The Nets haven't been back in New York for almost two weeks since their game against the Bucks on December 5th.
The entire Nets team of thirty or forty players was extremely exhausted.
Both physically and mentally, I have already reached my limit.
Even Wang Xiucheng was the same.
The joy and excitement of winning their first Mid-Season Championship trophy had long been worn away during the long road trip.
Right now, the Nets' biggest wish is to get back to New York, back to their home.
So as soon as the game against the Jazz ended, the Nets flew back to New York overnight with a record of 15 wins and 11 losses.
When the Nets' private jet landed in New York after flying 3100 kilometers, it was already midnight.
As if to welcome the triumphant heroes, as soon as everyone stepped off the plane, they discovered that snowflakes were falling gently from the sky.
Wang Xiucheng smiled as he looked at the snowflakes falling from the sky.
But the next moment, fatigue washed over him. Wang Xiucheng yawned and looked up to see Ma Wei's car parked in the distance.
Carrying a personal bag, Wang Xiucheng greeted the others and walked over.
Ma Wei jogged over and took Wang Xiucheng's luggage.
In fact, after such a long away trip, everyone was carrying several pieces of luggage, but tonight no one was in the mood to carry their luggage.
Once the staff takes the luggage back to the stadium, everyone can take their luggage later.
"Brother-in-law, you've worked hard," Ma Wei said solicitously.
"What's so hard about it? It's just work," Wang Xiucheng replied with a smile, but his eyes were fixed on Ma Wei's car in the distance. Wu Di and Wu Jia were standing on either side of the car, but even when they saw Wang Xiucheng, they didn't come over.
This made Wang Xiucheng realize that Ma Xiaoxuan should be in the car.
Only Ma Xiaoxuan would make Wu Di and Wu Jia stay in that car for even a moment.
Wang Xiucheng followed Ma Wei to the car quickly. When Wu Di opened the back door, Wang Xiucheng immediately saw Ma Xiaoxuan sitting inside.
Wang Xiucheng said with surprise, "Why are you here?"
"It's nothing, I just can't sleep," Ma Xiaoxuan said nonchalantly, her eyes slightly red.
Wang Xiucheng smiled as he got into the car and closed the door.
Wu Di and Wu Jia went to the back of the convoy, and soon the group left the airport.
Wang Xiucheng said to Ma Wei, who was driving, with some resentment, "Your sister is heavily pregnant, and you still brought her out?"
Ma Wei chuckled twice, but didn't dare to reply.
"Are you tired?" Ma Xiaoxuan noticed that Wang Xiucheng's eyelids seemed to be drooping, which made her look a little worried.
Having not seen Wang Xiucheng for half a month, Ma Xiaoxuan couldn't wait any longer and followed Ma Wei to the airport to wait.
She knew that Jenny had gone to Las Vegas and met with Wang Xiucheng, which made her somewhat unhappy.
She had originally intended to make a sarcastic remark about Wang Xiucheng, but when she saw how exhausted he was, most of her complaints disappeared.
Wang Xiucheng did not answer, but simply closed his eyes and rested his head on Ma Xiaoxuan's shoulder.
Wang Xiucheng was nearly two meters tall, and even when he was sitting, he was much taller than Ma Xiaoxuan. So Ma Xiaoxuan moved a little to the side so that Wang Xiucheng could lean against her.
Sensing Wang Xiucheng's aura, Ma Xiaoxuan's last bit of resentment finally disappeared.
……
10:00 AM, Cheval Blanc Hotel, Paris, Manager's Office.
Steve sipped his warm Americano, opened the window to look out at the Seine, and took a deep breath of the Parisian morning air.
There was some noise coming from downstairs, but Steve didn't pay any attention to it.
Paris is the focus of the fashion world every year at the end of the year, with various shows and press conferences almost every day.
Celebrities from all over the world gather in Paris during this period.
So he was used to such things.
However, he had only met them before as the lobby manager.
This year, or more precisely, some time ago, he was promoted to general manager of the hotel.
A knock suddenly sounded at the door. Although Steve was a little annoyed, he put down his coffee, went to the door, and opened it.
"Manager, there's a lady from China downstairs who wants to see you," a well-dressed waiter said from outside the door.
"From China?"
This made Steve dare not delay at all, and he immediately followed the people downstairs.
Sure enough, a woman wearing sunglasses, a red coat, and a white turtleneck sweater was standing in the lobby, looking at the hotel's decor.
Behind her were two much younger girls, each pushing a suitcase.
"Hello, I'm Steve. May I ask who you are?" Steve asked as he approached.
As they got closer, Steve realized that the woman was very beautiful; even with sunglasses on, her elegance was undeniable.
"Hello, my name is Angel, you can also call me Yang Ying."
Upon hearing this, Steve immediately smiled and extended his hand. "Hello, Ms. Yang Ying. Mr. Wang has already told me that I have reserved the best suite for you. Please follow me."
This time, Steve spoke in Chinese, and although he wasn't fluent, it was still understandable.
"Do you understand Chinese?"
Yang Ying asked her assistant to hand the luggage to other staff members, then took off her sunglasses and asked curiously.
Steve pressed the elevator button and said while waiting, "I am of French and Chinese descent, and I learned Chinese when I was a child."
Yang Ying nodded, "So that's how it is."
Steve really wanted to ask Yang Ying what her relationship with Wang Xiucheng was.
But he simply didn't have the guts to inquire about his boss.
Just over ten days ago, he was the lobby manager when he suddenly received a phone call.
The call was made by Wang Xiucheng, who asked him a question in Mandarin, "Do you want to be the general manager?"
Steve thought it was a prank call, but unusually, he didn't hang up immediately and replied, "Of course."
Then, just two hours later, the president of the White Horse Manor Hotel drove up to him, found him, and told him that he would be the general manager of the hotel from now on.
