Scarlett was in Beijing.

Last month, *Captain America 2* was officially released in China, and the box office and word-of-mouth were very good.

Marvel has always attached great importance to the Chinese market, and this time they also held a meet-and-greet with actors and fans in Beijing.

Scarlett, Chris Evans, and Samuel L. Jackson attended together.

This wasn't Scarlett's first time in China, but it was the most meaningful.

Because this was her first time in China after meeting Tang Tian.

She now had an unspeakable affection for Tang Tian, and because of her love for him, she also liked Chinese fans.

Moreover, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans was really irresistible.

It would be a very interesting thing if she and Tang Tian came together.

Having just finished the Q&A session with the fans, he sat down with the other actors under the stage.

There would be a live screening of *Captain America 2* on site.

Her phone vibrated. She took it out and saw it was an unfamiliar number.

"Do you have time to come to my private party?"

The other party asked very directly.

Scarlett frowned slightly, wondering which reckless guy this was.

"Who are you?"

But worried that there was a problem with her phone, she still sent a message back.

When she saw that the other party's reply was Durant, her expression froze.

This guy actually invited her to some party!

If it wasn't for Westbrook, she wouldn't have bothered with this guy. Even as a friend, she had some requirements for looks.

Moreover, she had a really bad impression of Durant when they ate together last time.

"I'm attending a movie promotion event now. If I have time, I'll go."

She didn't have time to go to this party, nor did she want to go, but she still replied politely.

After all, she thought Westbrook was a nice guy, so she just gave him some face.

After replying to the text message, she put down her phone and glanced at it again, feeling a little disappointed.

If it was Tang Tian's party, that would be great. She didn't believe there was a man she couldn't conquer.

"Yes!"

After seeing Scarlett's reply, Durant jumped up from the sofa excitedly and started performing an impromptu dance in front of his relatives and friends.

Impromptu dance wasn't enough. He even grabbed the microphone and sang a few rap songs to help the fun.

Although it was a little harsh, the relatives and friends listened very attentively.

The next day, Durant's private party was held in the manor he rented.

Where there's money, there are definitely women. In addition to the people Durant invited, there were also many second- and third-tier models who came after hearing the news.

The people Durant invited were all millionaires, and being able to latch onto one would save them a lifetime of struggle.

Even if they couldn't latch onto one, the money they could get in one night would definitely be a lot.

Durant wore his most handsome white suit, put on sunglasses, and his eyes looked towards the entrance of the manor from time to time.

He was waiting for Scarlett.

But after waiting for almost an hour, he still didn't see Scarlett's figure.

Was he being stood up?

"Kevin, the party can begin."

A relative came over to remind him.

He tried hard to suppress the unhappiness in his heart, got up and walked to the balcony on the second floor to announce the start of the party.

The invited singers began to sing, men and women began to socialize, and some people had even started dancing in the center of the dance floor.

But his mood didn't improve at all, because he hadn't seen Scarlett all along.

After waiting for another half an hour, he finally couldn't wait any longer and sent a text message to Scarlett.

About ten minutes later, he received a text message reply from Scarlett.

"Sorry, I have an additional fan meeting here. I probably won't be able to come to the party. I wish you a successful party."

A very polite reply that made his eyes turn red.

He really was stood up!

He remembered Scarlett publicly commenting that Tang Tian was an attractive person.

What the hell, what did he have that was inferior to Tang Tian!

"It's okay, maybe next time."

But he still suppressed his anger and sent a message back to Scarlett.

He really didn't believe it. Didn't the Spurs have a rock theory? He didn't believe he couldn't win Scarlett over even after knocking 101 times.

Putting his phone away, he continued to search the crowd at the ball.

Scarlett wasn't coming, so he had to get down to business.

Soon, he fixed his eyes on Tim Hardaway Jr.

Tim Hardaway was a former NBA All-Star, a 5-time All-Star, nicknamed "Bug," and the godfather of crossover dribbling in the NBA.

His son, Tim Hardaway Jr., was selected by the Knicks in the first round last year, and had a good performance in his rookie season.

Moreover, the Knicks would be playing against the Pelicans again soon.

He was the one.

This kind of son of a superstar, and in a team like the Knicks, was the most suitable choice.

Taking two glasses of red wine from the waiter, he went directly to the first floor.

"Tim, come here."

Durant wasn't good at socializing, and his way of speaking was quite rude.

But seeing that it was Durant, Hardaway's eyes were already full of respect. The details didn't matter.

Durant pulled Hardaway to the sofa next to him and sat down, and then started chatting straight to the point.

"Do you want to prove yourself?"

Although his communication skills were not good, he had always seen pigs run even if he hadn't eaten pork. With Westbrook by his side, he had learned a little bit of the skill of encouraging people.

Hardaway nodded. Although he didn't know what Durant was referring to, he was indeed the kind of player who had high aspirations and was a little impatient.

"Tang, he is your best opportunity to prove yourself."

Durant continued.

Hardaway looked puzzled.

"I'm telling you, Tang is just a paper tiger. His offensive style is very simple. Your defense is better than mine. You can definitely stop him if you try your best."

Durant continued.

Hardaway felt a little giddy by Durant's words. Even if it was just defense, being said to be better than a superstar was a very comfortable thing.

But he was still very puzzled. Tang Tian seemed to be the scoring champion now, right? It shouldn't be that easy to defend, right?

"And he's easily angered. He's fought with Kenyon Martin before and been suspended, so if you have a war of words with him before the game, and trash talk during the game, it will be very effective."

Durant continued.

Hardaway was a rookie and didn't really know about Tang Tian's conflict with Martin. Hearing Durant say this, he felt that there was really some hope.

Speaking of which, Tang Tian scored 40+ points at Madison Square Garden before, and they didn't feel good about being the background emperor that night.

He had high aspirations, and if he had the opportunity, he would still come back.

Moreover, Anthony had been injured recently, and his playing time had increased a lot.

"Go ahead, I'm optimistic about you, you will prove yourself."

Seeing the change in Hardaway's expression, Durant raised the glass of red wine in his hand and said while the iron was hot.

Hardaway nodded, clinked glasses with Durant, and drank it all in one gulp.

He could be considered to have agreed.
