American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

If young George listens to his father Louis's advice, he might actually be able to register his marriage in the near future.

“No, little George’s career here is just starting, he probably won’t have time to go to New Jersey.” While her eldest son was struggling with his decision, Mary had already prepared an excuse for him.

On the one hand, Mary didn't want her eldest son to leave her life. On the other hand, she wasn't actually very satisfied with Mandy as her daughter-in-law.

Chapter 324 The Arrival of the Prospective "Father-in-Law" (Continued)

At the dinner table, Connie's grandmother and George's father also expressed their reluctance to let little George rush off to get married in New Jersey.

Here we must mention the strong family values ​​of Texans.

They value their families so much that they have an almost pathological obsession with the integrity of their families.

With the support of his family, little George, who was not yet six years old, escaped the fate of being forced to marry immediately in New Jersey.

Having made concessions, Louis the Elder made a point of inquiring about young George's condition during the rest of the meal.

After learning that his prospective son-in-law owned a successful arcade and had some savings, Louis's attitude softened somewhat.

So far, today's meal has become somewhat enjoyable.

“Take me to your place so I can get you anything you need,” Old Man Louis suggested after the meal.

Having some traits of being a doting father to his daughter, he was actually quite gratified to see that his daughter had found a home.

Before leaving, he also planned to provide some assistance to his daughter and future son-in-law.

“This…” Mandy looked troubled when she heard that her father wanted to visit her living quarters.

At the same time, the Cooper family members also looked somewhat embarrassed.

After all, it's not something to be proud of to let a pregnant woman live in a basement.

"What's wrong, Mandy? Is there something wrong with where you're staying?" Old Man Louis sensed that something was amiss.

“It’s nothing.” Mandy smiled and said, as if she were going all out, “Little George, let’s go with my old man.”

So, led out of the house by his daughter and prospective son-in-law, Old Man Louis looked surprised.

When they reached the basement door, Louis the Elder, who had been deep in thought, wore an even more displeased expression.

"Is this where you live?" Upon entering the basement and seeing the surroundings, Old Man Louis felt a surge of anger.

He truly never expected that the Cooper family would treat his pregnant daughter this way.

"Actually, it was my own idea to stay here..." Mandy, who had already decided on George, explained for her boyfriend first.

When the Cooper family was discussing Mandy's accommodation, they did intend to move her to the room that little George used to live in.

The girl was simply afraid of the hassle and wanted to spend some time alone with George, so she chose to move out and live in the basement.

Taking responsibility upon herself, Mandy continued, "Besides, George and I are already planning to buy a house."

“Yes, yes, we’ll buy a house once we’ve saved enough money. If that doesn’t work, we can rent a place.” Little George, feeling guilty, quickly tried to smooth things over.

In fact, Mike had already suggested to George that he rent a house.

However, young George, who was under considerable financial pressure, ignored the other person's advice in order to save money.

“One thing at a time, how could they let you live here?” Looking at the basement lacking any living facilities, Louis’s father felt sorry for his daughter, and his newly developed goodwill towards the Cooper family vanished.

At this moment, George and his wife, along with Mike and others, also arrived in the basement.

George, the head of the family, said with a smile, "Louis, don't be angry. If Mandy needs it, we can make room for her in the house."

Although the Cooper family had limited space, it wasn't difficult to squeeze in a room for Mandy.

At worst, they can just let Sheldon move back in and live with his sister Missy again.

However, Louis the Elder was no longer listening to George's "excuses." At this moment, he was like a volcano about to erupt.

Only the pleading look on his daughter's face kept him from losing his last shred of reason.

From the daughter's perspective, Mandy, whose future happiness is tied to little George, is not suited to have a falling out with the Cooper family.

"Mandy and I have something to say, please give us some private space." After thinking for a while, Louis decided to wait and see what his daughter's attitude would be.

Of course, he also considered the worst-case scenario, which was to bring his daughter back to live in New Jersey.

Meanwhile, the Cooper family, who had been "kicked out," knew they were in the wrong and stayed outside the basement waiting for "news."

At this moment, several parents, including Connie's grandmother, did not look too good.

"Won't Mandy be taken away by her dad?" George asked with a complicated expression.

Mandy is considered George's "first love," and the two are currently in their honeymoon phase. If possible, George certainly wouldn't want the girl to leave.

"Don't worry, I don't think Mr. Louis is a reckless person. As long as Mandy doesn't give in, he shouldn't force his daughter to leave." Mike, who had observed some details, comforted the bewildered little George.

In fact, this is a crucial moment to test the depth of the relationship between George and Mandy.

Half an hour later, Mandy, with tears glistening on her face and a bank card in her pocket, pushed open the door and called out, "Little George, come here for a second. My dad wants to talk to you."

Little George, who was outside, felt a sense of relief as if they were telepathically connected when he saw Mandy's appearance.

Then, like a warrior, he went into the basement.

The door closed again.

Another half hour or so later, Old Man Louis came out first. By this time, he had calmed down.

"I'll leave Mandy in your care from now on. I'll come see her again when I have time." After saying goodbye to the Cooper family with a mix of pleading and threats, Old Man Louis drove his muscle car away from the town of Deford with great efficiency.

They came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

"Little George, what did Mandy's father say to you?" After Louis left, Marie pulled little George, who had come out to see him off, aside.

"They didn't say much, just confirmed the wedding date with Mandy," George explained, sounding much more relaxed.

"Is that all?" Mary asked again, still not entirely convinced.

There was no way around it; Mandy's father's previous image didn't suggest he was someone who could be easily fooled.

“Of course, what else can I say?” George affirmed his answer.

Actually, as a father, Louis didn't ask for much; he just wanted to see his daughter happy.

This demand happens to align with George's current wishes.

With Mandy's support, little George passed Louis's test without much effort.

"Mandy, are you sure you don't want to move in?" Mary asked to confirm as the family sat down in the living room again.

After Mandy's father made such a fuss, Mary paid more attention to the girl.

This fully illustrates the importance of having a powerful backer.

"No, I'm used to living in the basement. Besides, George and I will probably be moving out soon." Mandy, whose pregnancy symptoms weren't severe, hadn't yet experienced the hardships of pregnancy.

Therefore, her yearning for freedom outweighed her need for comfortable accommodations. Of course, the savings card she had also gave her confidence.

"Okay, you can come to me anytime you need me in the future." Seeing that the girl insisted, Mary did not press the matter further.

With this, Sheldon retained his private room, Mandy gained a powerful backer, and the Cooper family successfully fooled their in-laws.

It can be said that everyone is happy.

In the days that followed, after meeting his future father-in-law, young George embarked on a frantic money-making spree.

Meanwhile, Mike, who was on winter break, took some time to visit Principal Tom before resuming his leisurely daily life.

However, the comfortable winter break quickly came to an end, and Melford High School welcomed the start of the new school year.

Chapter 325 New School Year

"Mike, are you sure you want to leave the team?" Coach George asked with a look of regret.

A week has passed since the start of the new school year. Next up is the rugby team's spring invitational tournament.

The Melford team, which won the summer league state championship last year, has upgraded its roster this year and has the right to challenge other strong teams in other states.

Coach George sees this as an opportunity to further increase the team's visibility.

Moreover, he believes that if Mike can lead the team to good results again, his future career path will only be smoother.

If handled properly, one can start at least at the "star player" level.

That being said, which coach doesn't want to train a star player?

Therefore, Coach George has decided to sacrifice some of the team's interests to give Mike the "perfect" performance in the upcoming invitational tournament.

Unfortunately, football is just one of Mike's many hobbies. And he has no intention of becoming a professional player.

Therefore, Mike, who had already earned enough sports credits, had no interest in getting involved in the team's state invitational tournament.

Rather than running around to participate in invitational tournaments, he preferred to spend his time with Mia.

After all, they offer a buy-one-get-two-free deal over there, allowing you to enjoy three times the happiness at the same time.

Moreover, Mia has already decided that after graduating from high school, she will return to Genovia to help her grandmother build the kingdom.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be six months before Mike and the girl part ways.

“Yes, I’ve made up my mind.” Mike took out the captain’s armband and placed it on Coach George’s desk.

Seeing that the other party had already made up their mind, Coach George wanted to persuade them but didn't know how to start.

"Actually, Coach, you don't need to worry. The team's current strength is not bad, and there are quite a few talented players. For example, Bill, if he can be properly nurtured, he will definitely be a captain-level prospect," Mike analyzed for the team.

Mike could see that a large part of the reason Coach George was reluctant to leave was because he was afraid that the team's strength would drop significantly without him.

This is a sign of insecurity, which can make people anxious and insecure.

However, the reality is that after more than a year, the Melford rugby team has developed its own foundation and its overall strength has greatly improved.

Even without Mike leading the team, this team would definitely be a state-level powerhouse.

One player worth mentioning is Bill, a new member who joined the team last year after hearing about their reputation. His talent is a combination of Captain Aaron and Sam.

Although he still can't match Mike's phenomenal talent, he's more than qualified to be a high school captain.

Moreover, there are two or three other newcomers like Bill on the team. Therefore, as long as Coach George is willing to develop new talent, the Melford Football Team will not face a lack of successors.

“I know the situation of the team… I just feel sorry for your departure…” As a veteran coach, George’s judgment is not bad.

That's why he felt even more regret, resentment, and disappointment at Mike's departure.

I was even a little angry at their lack of ambition.

“There’s no need to regret it. Everyone’s choices and pursuits are different,” Mike said. “I will take responsibility for my choices.”

“Okay, I respect your wishes.” Considering Mike’s excellent performance in his studies and the stock market, George acquiesced to Mike’s choice.

For adults, life is not a question of right or wrong.

In the following weeks, while Mike enjoyed his time at home, the school's football team embarked on an off-field campaign.

Under Coach George's deliberate guidance, Bill, who had considerable football talent, quickly became the team's new "leader".

And they achieved good results in competitions against other states.

Because of the popularity of football, Bill became another top celebrity on campus after Mike.

"Mike, what are you writing?" In the warm-toned house, Princess Mia, who had regained some of her energy, walked up behind Mike, who was engrossed in his writing.

The messy room at the back clearly showed that a major battle had taken place.

Mike, with his superior gun skills, is naturally the winner. Mia's trio, huddled together in a heap, are the defeated.

"This is a new song for the Devil Body Group." Mike, who had just enjoyed royal treatment, didn't hide it from the girl.

"Unstoppable is a strange song title, but it sounds pretty good~" Princess Mia, who is well-versed in music theory, gave a fair evaluation.

"Miracle Company is preparing to transform the Devil Body Group, and the quality of the songs they're featuring will definitely have to meet certain requirements..." Mike explained briefly.

Yes, this girl group with their amazing figures, who are known for their sweet and charming looks and down-to-earth image as country girls, has already entered a period of transformation after only one year since their debut.

This turning point marks a crucial step for the "Devilish Figures" group as they transition from inexperience to maturity.

Considering the booming development of all aspects in this era, Miracle Company is also responding to market needs and preparing to create a new persona for the Devil Body Group, mainly based on tenacity, perseverance and hard work.

They are trying to make the "devilishly fit" group a new era label.

It can be said that Miracle Company's move was a gamble, but it was indeed very bold and visionary.
