Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 812-Some things are beyond human power
"Hey, what are you thinking about? Pay attention to turning the ribs and squeeze some lemon juice. Why do you look so worried?"

Di Lieba bent her elbow and poked her husband's left arm, narrowed her beautiful eyes and pushed up her glasses to imitate Edogawa Conan.

"Yao gave me a lot of positive energy this morning, which made me feel indigestion."

Chen Yu pursed his lips and then flipped the beef ribs over, while Dilireba pinched the lemon wedges and gently squeezed the juice while slowly pouring it over.

"He needs our help with capital turnover?"

Di Lieba admires Yao Ming and his wife very much. In order to revitalize the Chinese Professional Basketball Team, Yao Ming took the lead in pouring his high endorsement fees into this bottomless pit, and Ye Li never said a word.

China Mobile and China Life Insurance together pay Yao Ming nearly RMB 93 million to RMB 96 million each year.

All the money was transferred by Yao Ming to the Chinese Professional Basketball Team's account. Of course, all the formalities were handled by financial and tax experts to ensure legality and compliance.

"Hey, sacrificing your family for the country is truly a role model of the times. You should reflect on yourself more."

Di Lieba picked up half a carrot and took a bite. She wanted to try the barbecue, but her parents were watching her too closely.

All the junk food that Chen Yu secretly bought for her has been confiscated.

Now Di Lieba even has to drink Coke behind someone’s back, or ask Chen Yu to help cover for the couple to sneak out.

Dilraba Dilmurat can’t remember the last time she ate fried chicken.

Chen Yu cut a dice-sized piece of well-done beef rib, then gently touched his pregnant wife's right hand and signaled with his eyes. Di Lieba shook her head and glanced at her mother's position.

"Just reflect on yourself, don't be impulsive! We can't throw our money into basketball and football in China."

Dilireba turned her head and warned Chen Yu seriously.

Yao Ming can sacrifice his family for the country, but Chen Yu must hold on to his pockets and take care of his wife and children first!

Di Lieba sat up straight and stuck out her belly. Chen Yu nodded continuously. To be honest, he was not at the level of Yao Ming.

Not to mention sacrificing his family for the country, Chen Yu was unwilling to take the position of honorary director of the Boxing and Taekwondo Sports Management Center when the General Administration of Sports asked him to do so.

The Boxing and Taekwondo Sports Management Center is a unit and institution directly under the General Administration, and its level is higher than the Basketball Association and the Football Association.

After all, the Basketball Association and the Football Association are nominally national sports social organizations.

Even if he holds an honorary position in a certain sports management center, Yao Ming, the chairman of the Basketball Association, has to bow and nod when they meet.

"He should have spent money and used his connections to get help from the Basketball Management Center. Why does he have to be a servant now?"

To be honest, Chen Yu doesn't understand why Yao Ming is so naive and stubborn on this matter.

With Yao Ming's brain, it is impossible for him to be fooled into a trap by others.

Di Lieba pursed her lips and looked at Chen Yu. Idealists and perfectionists are very easy to be misunderstood, criticized and even ridiculed!

"Oh? You mean Yao Ming is a perfectionist + idealist?"

Chen Yu sneered when he heard this, and Di Lieba glared at her husband and complained that he was short-sighted.

"Oh, if you say so, then I will follow the example of the times and learn from it, and use part of my family assets to help China's basketball and football industry."

"I dare you! If you want to use our money to fill the big hole, then you'd better find a place to hang yourself on a tree as soon as possible!"

Di Lieba instantly pinched the soft flesh on Chen Yu’s left rib and twisted it gently, and the latter cooperated by grinning and bowing repeatedly.

In fact, Yao Ming did not want Chen Yu to acquire shares in the league company through a backdoor listing. After all, there were too many conflicts of interest involved, and it was also very xenophobic.

After Yao Ming took over the Basketball Association, he hoped to reawaken this project by optimizing resource allocation, at least to make it as powerful as it was before in Asia!

Unfortunately, it is difficult to make progress. There is a lack of domestic talent, resentment between clubs and players, and the Basketball Association's long-term attempt to smooth things over has damaged its own authority.

Yao Ming no longer has the same passion and enthusiasm as when he first took over.

Now he just wants to try his best to maintain the situation, and then focus on the training of young people, and combine sports and education to sow more seeds for the future. Yao Ming's previous reform plan imitating the NBA has been proven to be completely unworkable!
In addition, the new version of the basketball sports and education integration plan he proposed last year has also fallen into a quagmire.

Primary and secondary schools at all levels are only going through the motions, but many off-campus training institutions have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain and made a fortune.

This made Yao Ming very embarrassed.

This trip to the United States was really to avoid the limelight, and also to see if Chen Yu could invest some money to set up a few benchmark training institutions in first-tier cities.

Reverse the market trend.

"I'm still here to beg for alms!"

Di Lieba curled her lips and spoke in an unfriendly tone when she heard this. Why should her husband, who is a boxer, give money to support domestic basketball?
Di Lieba poked her lower abdomen gently with her backhand. Besides, the baby would not engage in basketball-related work in the future, so there was no reason for him to pay money.

Moreover, Di Lieba believes that such training institutions will not last long.

Chen Yu spent money to do this just to give Yao Ming face, while the latter, as soon as she leaves the Basketball Association, her husband will definitely close the training institution.

In the end, parents and children are still the victims in disguise.

Di Lieba firmly opposed Chen Yu's interference in this matter. There was no need to harm ordinary people for the sake of loyalty. Besides, the working class could not afford to play football and basketball.

As the saying goes, the poor are good at literature but the rich are good at martial arts. This is all reasonable.

If children in China engage in sports but fail to develop into a professional, their lives are doomed.

Di Lieba believes that basketball and football programs should be elite-oriented and not universally popularized. Why bother forcing it when the cost of education is so high now?

Chen Yu touched the tip of his nose, not knowing how to continue the conversation.

Our baby will have American citizenship as soon as he is born, and we don’t have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation.

This makes it seem that what Di Lieba just said was a bit arrogant.

It seems like he is showing off on purpose.

"Let's change the subject."

Chen Yu was worried that his pregnant wife would continue to criticize the Chinese national football team, men's basketball team and other sports that were too complicated.

In fact, Chen Yu had already politely rejected Dayao's proposal to invest in setting up a training institution.

But he promised to help Yao Ming contact the NBA team to train and warm up with the national players during the off-season and participate in the summer league.

Yao Ming, Kobe and other old friends have mentioned this.

Let's work together.

Chen Yu changed the subject and told his pregnant wife about attending the consulate during the Spring Festival.

Now Di Lieba is a little confused about what to wear, and Dior naturally hopes that she will wear a high-end dress to promote the brand.

Di Lieba is going to keep a low profile this time, mainly because she is pregnant and her curves are not as beautiful as before.

So Di Lieba decided to wear everyday clothes, which would keep her warm and make her look approachable.

Of course, daily clothes are also from the Dior brand. As for the prices, even the middle class in Europe and the United States would sigh that they are too expensive!

A while ago, domestic media criticized her for spending money recklessly, but it was not purely fabricated facts.

Even her mother-in-law recently warned her not to buy things for herself under the pretext of buying clothes and shoes for the baby!
The New Year is still a week away, so just act like a good wife and mother for a few days.

I have just gained a lot of popularity through live streaming. Don’t waste it meaninglessly.

Therefore, during this period of time, whenever there is a car delivering goods at home, my mother-in-law will check it to prevent her daughter from pretending to obey the orders but actually disobeying them.
