"What are you saying?"
Tang Long put down his coffee, looking at Jack with confusion.
"Oh my god, my Tang, do you not know the importance of this matter, or do you know it but don't care? Or do you have your own solution?"
Jack was utterly bewildered by Tang Long's calmness.
If it were any other person, the first thing they would do upon hearing such news would be to consult relevant individuals.
Then, they would meticulously arrange the subsequent response plan. Jack had never encountered someone as calm as Tang Long before.
"What matter? Are you talking about the fact that you wanted to talk to me? I thought it was something else."
Tang Long waved his hand indifferently, "If you want to talk, then let's talk. It's just a conversation, why are you so nervous?"
Jack's eyes widened in disbelief.
He now understood that Tang Long definitely didn't grasp the importance of the matter and needed an explanation.
"Tang, it's like this, the talk is just a pretext. I suspect someone is jealous of the shares you hold, and others are worried about exposing confidential information of the United States. So, they're not here to talk to you, they want you to hand over your shares!"
"Hand them over?" Tang Long shook his head, "I am optimistic about the company's development and plan to acquire more. Why would I hand them over?"
Damn it, Jack felt like scolding him.
He felt as if they were not on the same wavelength at all.
"Tang, did I not explain it clearly?"
"You did."
"Then why are you...?"
"As I said, I thought it was something else. If you want to talk, then let's talk."
Jack was starting to feel uncertain about Tang Long.
He had initially thought Tang Long was just a simple-minded star player, famous in the sports world, but ultimately living on borrowed time.
However, he could no longer see through Tang Long.
"Alright, don't worry. You just need to tell me when these annoying people want to talk to me."
Tang Long said, "I don't have time now, I still need to focus on preparing for the finals. Go and tell them to come talk to me after we win the championship!"
Jack thought Tang Long was crazy.
No!
This guy was not only crazy but also an unfathomable one.
He even dared to set a time for the other party.
"Alright, let's have some coffee. Don't let these disgusting matters spoil our enjoyment of this delicious beverage."
Tang Long chuckled, "You've come at the perfect time. Haven't you seen my games yet? Come back to Cleveland with me. Maybe we'll win the championship at home. You'll witness the Cavaliers' history!"
"Tang, I..."
"Jack, work is not everything. Listen to me, work is endless. When it's time to rest, rest. You haven't really rested since you founded your company, have you? Now is a good time to relax."
"Alright then!" Jack agreed reluctantly.
It wasn't that he wanted to rest, but he was filled with curiosity about Tang Long and planned to use these few days to get to know him better.
After all, when Gal Gadot introduced them, he was solely focused on securing investments and starting his business, without delving into Tang Long's personality and way of life.
...
"Gale, are you going to watch the fifth game of the NBA Finals between the Lakers and the Cavaliers?"
"I might not be able to. I still have a film to shoot. What about you two?"
During their video call, Gal Gadot was busy on set, and Scarlett was also filming Iron Man 2 in Hollywood.
"I've just joined the crew, so I can't get away right now. Swift, what about you?"
"I'm currently preparing for my concert, so I don't have time to go to Cleveland to watch the game either. I was hoping you two could go back."
Swift sighed, "The Cavaliers are playing the Los Angeles Lakers at home. If the Cavaliers win this game, Tang will win the championship. It would be a shame if no one is there to celebrate with him!"
Swift looked at Gal Gadot, "Gale, Scarlett can't get away because she's just joined the crew. Why don't you represent us and go?"
"I agree."
Although sending Gal Gadot alone to celebrate Tang Long's championship win might give her an advantage, she preferred one of the three sisters to be there to cheer for Tang Long, rather than no one celebrating this glorious moment with him.
"I really can't get away," Gal Gadot shook her head helplessly. "Scarlett, why don't you go?"
Scarlett also shook her head.
They both looked at Swift, "Taylor, you're just preparing for your concert. It hasn't started yet, so you can go to Cleveland."
"I want to, but my agent and the company will definitely not agree."
"It's so frustrating. We want to celebrate the championship with Tang as soon as possible, but we can't get away."
Scarlett covered her head, looking dejected.
"I think Tang will understand your situation, especially since you're all filming."
Swift sighed, "When we all have free time, we'll go to Cleveland together to celebrate with Tang!"
"I guess that's the only way."
Gal Gadot and Scarlett nodded in agreement.
Thankfully, their rival was also busy.
If they were busy and their rival wasn't, they would truly be beaten to the punch.
The two women breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with Swift for a while longer before ending the video call.
After ending the call, Swift thought for a moment and called her assistant over.
"Lisa, please book me a flight to Cleveland."
"Taylor, your concert is starting in a few days. You still need to rehearse with the band and communicate with various parties. How can you leave now?"
"Isn't there still a week? I'm not going right now. Book me a round-trip ticket for the 16th. I'll watch the game in Cleveland and come back."
Lisa looked at Swift suspiciously, "Just to watch the game?"
"Of course, what else would I be watching?"
"Who knows," Lisa couldn't help but tease, "I just heard someone say she needed to focus on her concert and had no time to go to Cleveland."
"You! Annoying!"
Swift gave her assistant a glare, but her eyes narrowed into a slit.
...
"Hello everyone, and welcome to the sports channel's broadcast of the fifth game of the NBA Finals."
"The Cleveland Cavaliers are playing at home against the Los Angeles Lakers. The Cavaliers currently lead the series 3-1 and have a match point. If the Cavaliers win this game, then Tang Long and LeBron James will lead the team to their first championship in history!"
"This game will be commented on by myself, Coach Zhang, and Yang Yi."
Yu Jia also took his seat at the announcer's position.
"We can see that the starting lineups for both teams have been released. There are no changes in the lineups for either side!"
