Chapter 126 Scarborough

The next morning, Tang Tian held Olsen in his arms, cuddling in bed for a while.

"Tang, teach me Chinese."

"Huh?"

Tang Tian looked at Olsen in puzzlement, wondering why she suddenly had the whim to learn it.

"When I went to China this time, I found that there are really a lot of Chinese fans, and they are very cute. I want to be able to communicate with them in the future, and one day when we get married, I will meet your parents, and I'll be able to use it then."

So that was it.

That made sense.

And besides those two benefits, there was another one: they wouldn't have to study English every day when they were in bed.

That experience would definitely be great.

As he said that, Tang Tian pulled Olsen straight back into the covers.

"What are you doing?"

"Teaching you Chinese!"

"What, ah..."

"At this time you need to say no, bu~yao~"

"bu~yao~~"

"yong~li~dian~"

"yong~li~dian~"

……

After the December games ended, the Spurs were sitting atop the league standings with a 22-3 record.

The Heat were second with a 20-5 record.

The Thunder were third with an 18-7 record.

The Nuggets, Clippers, and Grizzlies were all 16-9.

The Knicks followed closely behind at 15-10.

You only know who's swimming naked when the tide goes out. After two months of the new season, you know who really has the strength.

Neither the Lakers nor the Nets' super lineups had played up to their potential. These seven teams had become the teams with a championship look about them in the new season.

Time flew by, and it was January in the blink of an eye. Tang Tian and his Spurs were still making steady progress.

The day before the Spurs played the Hornets, Fagan arrived at Tang Tian's apartment with Winslow.

They had come about renewing the Burts Bees endorsement.

Thanks to Tang Tian's endorsement last year, Burts Bees' shower gel sales worldwide had increased by 60%, and in China they had skyrocketed by 150%.

It was no exaggeration to say that because of Tang Tian's endorsement, they had gone straight from being a second-tier brand in the United States to a quasi-first-tier brand.

Because of the Godfather, and also because of his Chinese background.

Tang Tian's popularity was definitely being underestimated.

"Tang!"

When Winslow saw Tang Tian again, his expression was more affectionate than if he had seen his own family.

Because of the success of the endorsement, he was now riding high in the company and had even received a significant number of company shares as a result.

Tang Tian made them both cups of coffee, and they chatted while drinking.

"Tang, I've brought you a contract you can't refuse."

Winslow confidently placed the contract in his hand.

Tang Tian picked it up and looked at it.

Three years, six million dollars.

For a shower gel company, paying two million dollars to sign an endorser, even a global endorser, was an absolute sky-high price.

Although it wasn't a short-term contract, Tang Tian agreed anyway.

On the one hand, he was currently saving up Krypton points, and on the other hand, Winslow had brought such a renewal contract, so his sincerity was already sufficient.

In addition to renewing the endorsement contract, Winslow also told him about the upcoming new commercial shoot.

Tang Tian also learned that they had just spent a lot of money to sign a female global endorser.

It seemed that Burts Bees had a big appetite and wanted to take the opportunity to seize market share in the shower gel market.

"At the end of this month, we'll have you two shoot a commercial together. This time the commercial concept is very creative, and the effect will definitely be good."

Winslow was full of confidence.

"What's the concept?" Tang Tian was curious about what Winslow had said.

"You'll find out then." Winslow deliberately kept him in suspense.

Tang Tian didn't press him, anyway, shooting a commercial would only take a few days.

"By the way, who is the female endorser?"

Tang Tian said as he picked up his coffee and took a sip.

"You'll never guess. She's very popular right now, but not so popular that we can't afford to sign her." Winslow really liked to keep people guessing.

Tang Tian looked at Winslow in confusion.

Who was it? Could it be Olsen?

The description sounded a lot like her.

If it really was Olsen, then they would be shooting a commercial as a couple, earning double the money!

"Scarlett Johansson."

"Cough! Cough!"

Luckily, Tang Tian had already swallowed that mouthful of coffee, or it would have been sprayed out directly.

But he still choked on it.

When Fagan saw this, he took a bottle of water from the table and handed it to Tang Tian.

Tang Tian took two sips of water and calmed down after a while.

"Who did you say?"

He asked Winslow for confirmation.

"Black Widow, Scarlett Johansson. We told her about the commercial shoot, and she was very interested after she knew who it was."

Winslow explained again, thinking that Tang Tian hadn't understood.

Scarlett Johansson!

Damn, very interested!

He suddenly remembered something.

Scarlett had failed to pursue him in his previous life, so she had crossed over to pursue him again!

Did he have that much personal charm?

So strong that it could span two lifetimes?

But perhaps he was just thinking too much.

Burts Bees had offered him such a contract, so they definitely wouldn't offer Scarlett any less.

After all, the Black Widow was still more popular than him right now.

Yes, he was thinking too much.

Although he was very handsome, for a woman of Scarlett's level, that definitely wasn't the focus.

Perhaps the Godfather's identity was even more attractive to her.

He just wondered what Winslow's mysterious commercial was going to be about.

Oh, right, when he thought about it, it was actually pretty good.

During last year's playoffs, when he was trash-talking Durant, he had said that Scarlett had pursued him.

Although it had infuriated Durant at the time, Durant still didn't believe him.

Shooting a commercial together would be somewhat self-explanatory.

That way, if they played against each other again, or met in the playoffs again, he probably wouldn't even need to trash-talk.

Not bad, not bad~

Seeing the smile on Tang Tian's face, Winslow knew that things were mostly settled.

Before the game the next day, Tang Tian received the first year's endorsement fee from the new Burts Bees contract.

Two million dollars a year. With a team helping him avoid taxes, he received about 1.2 million dollars in compensation, and he also gained 1.2 million dollars in Krypton points, which was significantly better than before.

But he wasn't in a hurry to redeem blue skills, let alone green skills now.

When the new contract was signed next year, and there was also the Nike renewal contract, his Krypton points would have a small burst.

By then, it would be time to save up to buy a purple skill.

He looked at the skills he had now.

Offense: Open Three-Pointer (Novak), Catch and Shoot (Korver), Free Throw King (Calderon), Finger Roll (Divac)

Defense: One-on-One Defense (Tony Allen), Flop Artist (Varejao), No Fly Zone (Mutombo)

Other: Masked Man (Hamilton)

Among these skills, the most useful was actually One-on-One Defense (Tony Allen), which was a purple skill.

He would develop inconspicuously in the first two years as a rookie, building up strength for a big breakthrough. By the time he reached his third year, whether he was still on the Spurs or not, it would be time for him to explode.
