American winner takes all

Chapter 256 The reporter who came to visit

"Hello."

"Hey...are you...ok?" Nicole Kidman's greeting came from the other end of the phone, her voice was very soft.

It seems that I am afraid of being heard by some people.

"Of course." Ethan nodded.

"Well, that's good. Well... I was in a script meeting yesterday, which was inconvenient... I'm sorry."

"It's completely understandable. In fact, it's not a big deal. I just want to report the investment progress to you..." Ethan said about the current profit.

"So much!" Nicole Kidman's voice rose.

"More are expected by the end of the year." Ethan nodded.

"You earned it all?"

"if not."

"Why don't you play rugby? Why don't you focus on investment business in the future? It's so dangerous on the court." Nicole Kidman said subconsciously.

"Investment is only temporary, and the stadium is the main theme of life." Ethan reiterated again.

Today's multiple favorable conditions in the United States, coupled with this year's Southeast Asian financial crisis, have further led to the return of U.S. dollars. Such a "dollar harvest" scenario occurs on average once every less than ten years.

Just like the ebb and flow of the tide, every cruel joy will eventually end cruelly. Sometimes you make money with your eyes closed, and sometimes you lose money even while lying down.From the beginning of the Great Depression, to the four great recessions from 1970 to 1983, to Black Monday in 1987, the economic depression in the early 90s, and the bursting of the Internet bubble that will occur in the future, and the subprime mortgage crisis from 07 to 09.

And Ethan needs to do the right thing at the right time.

"Well, is that all?" Even after making a lot of money, Nicole Kidman didn't seem to have much joy.

Maybe she has enough money.

"Otherwise?" Ethan said.

"Then you will report to me on the investment progress every three days from now on, by phone." Nicole Kidman suddenly said.

"Ok?"

what do you want?

“This is the right that investors should have, right?”

If she is willing, Ethan will even have to report the investment progress to her every day.

"Then it's settled," Nicole Kidman said.

"no problem."

It’s just reporting work. Ethan’s surname is O’Connor, not Cao.

Ethan hung up the phone and went back to the bowling alley, playing music and dancing.

·
"The two-step turn is too slow, it should be like this..." Ethan showed the receiver the two-step turn step by step.

"Step forward with your dominant foot first..."

Ethan then demonstrated the key details of the defensive player's hip rotation on the spot.

For running backs, Ethan taught the most critical variation of the emergency stop running method.

Mary on the side finally felt a little relieved when she saw this scene.

Ethan finally did something human.

"Ethan, let's go to the bar tonight. How many girls did I ask out?"

"Sounds good, that's it." Ethan responded happily.

What are you doing?Come again!Mary discovered that Ethan's pretense only lasted for half a day, and soon his true colors were revealed.

In the following days, Ethan worked hard to coach his teammates during the day, and had fun with his teammates and this year's freshmen girls late into the night at night.

As the next game approaches, Ethan's life becomes more and more joyful.

"If I remember correctly, you have a competition tomorrow." Nicole Kidman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, tomorrow morning." Ethan said as he walked out of the bar.

"Then, work hard."

"Thank you, and you too, keep filming well."

"Most of the scenes are over, and the crew won't need me for the next period of time," Nicole Kidman said.

Ethan's heart skipped a beat.

"So, if you can, how about getting me a box ticket? I want to be there in person to watch your game against the University of Tennessee in half a month. I want the best seat."

Do you really want to come?

"Alabama box tickets are very expensive, especially the ones in the middle." Ethan pondered.

"Are you afraid that I can't pay? I can book all the boxes at your school for a whole year." Nicole Kidman felt that she was being looked down upon and said with a smile.

Okay, you are rich and you are great.

"The matter of money..."

Every time we talk about business, Nicole Kidman seems a little impatient.

This time too.After the two of them finished, Ethan lowered his head and looked at his reflection in the puddle.

What can I do?
No, it must be an illusion of life.She just thought Mary's place was nice and wanted to stay for a few more days.

·
The next day's road game against Kentucky was at Commonwealth Stadium in Lexington.

Everyone thought this would be a dull game. In fact, both sides of the game were very open and close, launching intensive attacks on each other.

Ethan tried his best and performed all kinds of tricks in turn, including magical short passes, continuous ball running, weird arc elevator passes, and the newly practiced flying meteor. In the first half, one player scored Nearly 300 yards.

Tim Couch, the quarterback of the rival University of Kentucky, is actually on par with Ethan, and even leads Ethan in passing yards.

When playing against the University of Kentucky last year, this Tim Couch was still a substitute. After becoming the main player this year, he immediately exploded. He also produced relatively dazzling results in the first few games.

Fortunately, after Ethan's extra care in private, a group of newcomers finally performed as they should, and were able to stand up at critical moments and share the offensive tasks for Ethan.

Relying on the performance of teammates at the last moment and Ethan's exquisite pass through the defense, Alabama further widened the score gap at the end of the fourth quarter, crushing Kentucky's attempt to drag the game into overtime.

When leaving the game, Tim Couch, the opponent's outstanding quarterback, took the initiative to shake hands with Ethan.

Tim Couch and Ethan are both sophomores and have at least one year left in their college playing careers.

At the current rate of his growth, Ethan feels that next year he may become his second strongest opponent in the Southeastern Conference besides Peyton Manning.

During the post-game press conference, Ethan met Penny Weber, whom he had not seen for a long time.

Almost at the same time, she recognized who her "best friend" was. Now the woman was sitting next to Petunia, wearing a one-piece sleeveless white dress.

The other reporters were either in suits or overalls and sweatshirts, but she was the only one in the room dressed as if she was attending a dinner.

The intention to gain a position is clearly written on his face.

After noticing Ethan's gaze, the woman blinked at Ethan. "Penny, you were deceived by this woman." Ethan said in his heart.

·
"Finally we meet again, Ethan O'Connor."

Just when Ethan noticed this woman's intention, Michelle Besner also said in his heart.

Michelle started with Penny in the past half month, and she also asked Ethan a lot of things in a indirect way.

Penny never admitted her relationship with Ethan, but only told Michelle that she had slept with players for the sake of her career.

Moreover, Penny confides her troubles to her friends from time to time. The private lives of young players nowadays are really chaotic.

Hearing this, Michelle knew the opportunity had come.

How conservative can Ethan O'Connor be when it comes to maintaining relationships with reporters?
Relate the news that Ethan broke before when he was in Los Angeles.

Getting entangled with the mother of a teammate, dating famous models and female celebrities...

If Michelle was still a little hesitant before, now she has completely made up her mind.

This kind of player whose brain is in his lower body is exactly what he needs most.

·
"Michelle, I have to leave early. The station has made an appointment with Peyton Manning to interview and prepare it as supporting promotional materials for three Saturdays in October. I have to go to Tennessee." After the press conference, Penny answered When he got the call from his superior, he said to Michelle.

"Well, come on Penny, I will support you." Michelle showed a charming smile.

Just when I was thinking about how to get close to Ethan, this opportunity came in a blink of an eye. It was really a blessing from God.

Late that night, McKenna was sent home and returned to her apartment on campus. As soon as she parked her car, a man suddenly appeared next to her, opened the door and got into the car.

As seen at the press conference before, the other party was still wearing the same white skirt, but with an extra coat on top.

She inquired about Ethan's residence in the school and went directly to the door to no avail. Then she waited downstairs, standing alone in the cold autumn night for several hours. Finally, she waited until Ethan came back and took action immediately.

She has dazzling golden hair that looks a bit white in the thick night. From the side of her face, you can see a high bridge of nose, full lips that don’t look fat, and traces of covered freckles on her cheeks.

"Hello, Alabama star." She fiddled with the ends of her hair, and the faint smell of perfume from her hair immediately filled the car.

"I don't think I know you. Madam, you are illegally trespassing on private property. I have the right to call the police." Ethan pulled the handbrake.

The other party was unmoved when he heard this. He looked at Ethan and grinned, showing a pair of white teeth.

I have to say that this female reporter is really good-looking and definitely stands out among the field reporters.

"You don't know me, but I know you. Think about what you did with Penny Webb, including other women. The media will definitely be very interested."

Ethan is not afraid of this. After all, this is not the first time that gossip news has appeared on him, and the impact on him is minimal. In fact, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

But for Penny, this is not the case. A female reporter who obtains resources by selling her beauty will certainly arouse public disgust. Penny is a reporter in front of the stage. If this matter is exposed, her career as a reporter will come to an abrupt end. Stop.Transferring is the best outcome, but if it's more serious, you won't be able to eat a bowl of rice.

Although Penny would not be stupid enough to tell others about these things, it was inevitable that some rumors would be revealed.She now represents some of the media assets for Ethan...

"Penny? Who is Penny Weber?" Ethan pretended not to know.

"Stop pretending, she hooked up with you when she was in Los Angeles, otherwise how could she have become popular so quickly." Michelle retorted, her tone was particularly firm.

But having said that, what does it have to do with her now that she holds Penny's handle? She doesn't think this can threaten her, right?
"Stop talking nonsense, I don't care what happens to you two. I want you to give me the same resources, no, resources higher than Penny Weber."

You don’t think that just because I’m willing to be interviewed by you, you can have the same future as Penny Webber, do you?

What a stupid woman.If you have a skin but no matching head, your beautiful appearance will become a burden.

Ethan can even foresee her future fate.

Ethan shook his head, started the car again, stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the parking lot.

"Where are you going?!" Michelle lost support and subconsciously grabbed the handle.

"Police station." Ethan responded coldly.

"Why do you take me to the police station!"

"Just because you broke into my car without my permission, I will also disclose to the media that a female reporter from ESPN harassed me! Following and stalking, the school's surveillance may have recorded your presence. "Ethan said slowly.

The Alabama campus is so big, not to mention around Ethan, there are not many surveillance cameras around the principal. It's just Ethan trying to scare people.

"I...can't I just hang out in school? Stop the car!" Michelle yelled.

Only then did she realize that her behavior was full of loopholes, and this little thing could make Penny compromise.

However, Ethan O'Connor will not be hindered at all.

"And you ignored the most important premise. How Penny Weber established a connection with me was not because she took the initiative to throw herself into her arms, but the transaction between us. You can understand that it was me who took the initiative to find her. , I was behind some of her actions. She has to listen to me." Ethan told the truth at this time.

Michelle felt a chill as she once again thought of the progress of Penny's career.

The first documentary helped BHHS raise funds, and the second documentary resolved Ethan's crisis.

When Petunia was born, it was also when Ethan began to stand out.

It wasn't Penny who was using him, it was him who was using Penny!

Michelle felt extremely regretful and regretted that she had been too reckless. She saw the vehicle driving out of the university campus and arriving at the local police station in Tuscaloosa.

Ethan stopped the car in front of the police station, and Michelle immediately wanted to open the car door, but found that the door had been locked.

"You have two choices now, either follow me into the police station, or..." Ethan did not continue.

"Or, like Penny, I will be used by you." Michelle answered proactively.

"You're not too stupid, but it's a bit exaggerated to say that you're taking advantage of it, that's all for mutual benefit." Ethan said.

As Penny's career steadily improves, there is a high probability that she will no longer be a location reporter, and someone will need to fill the gap left by her.

"What do I need to do? Go to bed with you?!" Michelle gritted her teeth.

Ethan stretched out his hand, but Michelle was too frightened to move.

Ethan pushed her coat away with his hands.

"You think of me too simply." Ethan suddenly looked bored.

I really don’t know if she is capable enough to take over the vacancy left by Penny.

·
The GT sports car roared away, leaving Michelle, who was forced to take off her coat, standing alone on the road.

There was a gust of autumn wind, and Michelle immediately shivered with cold and quickly crossed her arms.

The first task Ethan gave her was very simple. She was asked to walk back to the hotel alone in the cold wind as punishment for her offense.

"What a devil who enjoys torturing others!" Michelle walked on the road with [-]cm high heels.

After taking a few steps, her foot slipped and the heel of her high-heeled shoes broke, causing her to almost fall.

"Shit!" Michelle clenched her fists, feeling anxious, angry, cold and hungry.

This journey lasted for nearly two hours, and Michelle had several blisters on her feet, while Ethan was already fast asleep.

After a brief interlude, Ethan finally ushered in the first key showdown of the season...
