Chapter 20 Women's Heart, Don't Guess
When Americans first come into contact with strangers, their first words are to report their names and introduce themselves, including occupations, positions, hometowns, etc. The purpose is to quickly gain the other party’s recognition and positioning. They also look forward to the other party’s identity quickly, etc.
Mei Chen is a British, and the British are completely different from Americans in this regard.
In British culture, other people must be responsible for introducing the person so that the person being introduced has dignity. It is a shame to introduce yourself. In other words, someone deliberately reports his name only means that he is weak because no one is willing to introduce him. Or they may think that the person is too anxious and impatient. On the other hand, if you ask the other person directly what his name is, it is sometimes an insult.
When the enthusiastic Mei Chen was said by a "stranger", Sheng Lang's face immediately became stiff.
Wei Xia couldn't laugh, so his father Wei Mingliang told him a joke.
When the British introduced a valuable item, they would say that it was passed down by my grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather's grandfather. Americans would say that it was bought by me for hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The stranger looked at Wei Xia and said face to face: "My name is Jay Wright, and he is the head coach of Villanova University Wildcats."
These days, someone called his home, someone sent two scholarships, and someone invited him to interview - the first time the head coach of a university team came to his home to sit.
He couldn't just come and sit.
"I'm very happy to know you." Wei Xia nodded.
Wright is a typical American. He was talking and laughing with his parents just now, but as soon as the Lord arrived, he entered an urgent working state.
He gave a comprehensive introduction to Villanova University, from the academic level of the school, to the history and culture of the basketball team, to their desire for him.
"We need a player full of energy. I promise I will be responsible for your future, but we won't give you two scholarships like DePaul, and I believe you don't value this either." Wright smiled.
Wei Xia's thinking was impacted by Wright and it was difficult to make a decision.
He didn't want to go to Villanova at all.
No kid who grew up in Philadelphia wants to go there.
Although Villanova is in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Villanova is in the south and Villanova is in the northwest, and it takes an hour's drive to and from.
Although Villanova is located in the northwest suburbs of western Philadelphia, it gives Weisha the impression that it is not a part of Philadelphia. It does not think Villanova is a university in Philadelphia, and it will not be mentioned when discussing Philadelphia basketball. If a team can represent Philadelphia basketball, most people would say it is St. Joseph's University, and no one would say Villanova University.
What famous players did Villanova University have? Corey Kittles? Well, the great 96 generation. He comes from New Orleans. Marvin O'Connor? Yes, he is indeed a Phillies native. He studied at Villanova University for a year from 1997 to 98, and then transferred to St. Joseph's University.
Villanova University has never had many local Philadelphia students for various reasons.
"Coach, I'm very grateful for your attention, but I'm not yet graduated."
Wei Xia’s way of rejecting others is very British. Influenced by his mother, he will never refuse in person. On the surface, he will consider it or say it later. When the other party reminisces about it, he will find that his subtext is "We have no chance."
Wright smiled: "The Celtics achieved a brilliant 1980s because they waited for Larry Bird for a year. I can't miss a future star just because you won't graduate from high school until next year."
"To be honest, there are many options in front of me. I don't know which option is the best for me now. I want to put things aside and focus on next month's aaaa championship." Wei Xia's words made Wei Mingliang understand.
He immediately smoothed out the game for his son: "That's true, coach, you don't know. Recently, many schools have called my home, with scholarships one after another. This is a big deal. Many high school celebrities with promising futures are bleak because they chose the wrong university, and we need to make a long-term plan."
Wright lamented Weisha's opinion and was also lamented how attractive Villanova University is to local students in Philadelphia.
"What you said is not unreasonable, it is indeed a big event that concerns the future." Wright didn't want to be dismissed like this. "But I hope you can visit Villanova before you make a decision. It's a beautiful school. I promise to be more beautiful than De Paul, and I'm sure there is nothing cooler than Villanova except the team name."
The other party came to visit in person, and it would be too unkind if he didn't even agree to this request.
Wei Xia nodded, and finally let Wright down, at least they were not completely eliminated.
1 DePaul's team name is "The Demon Hunter".
Next, Wright sat for another ten minutes before saying goodbye.
After Wright left, Mei Chen turned to Wei Xia and said, "Philly, don't you want to go to Villanova?"
"I'm not very interested." Wei Xia was as straightforward as an American in front of her family.
"Okay, then we won't go!" The woman holds revenge.
"Dear, didn't you have a good impression of Coach Wright at the beginning?" Wei Mingliang saw through his wife's thoughts completely, "I understand, just because he didn't let you introduce him, you were unhappy."
That night, Wei's evening tea taught Wei Xia a lesson.
Don’t guess what a woman thinks. If you guess correctly, you won’t have good results. If you guess wrong, you won’t have good results.
"Mom, just eat this?" Wei Xia stared at the pile of desserts in front of her that were neither sweet nor salty, and she didn't know what else she felt, her eyes filled with despair of disillusionment.
Mei Chen was very enthusiastic: "This is a special food in my hometown. Don't you like it?"
"No wonder my father hasn't gone to London much since he married his mother home." Wei Qiu read, and then he was stared at by his mother "full of kindness".
Wei Xia planned to take a few bites to deal with it.
Wei Mingliang suddenly asked: "Philly, do you have any school you want to go to?"
"Yes," Wei Xia knew why her father was talking.
When I talk and think about things, I can't feel like I'm eating.
He ate a piece of unpleasant pastry with some learning and decent taste and said, "The school I want to go to the most is Connecticut."
There are two things that attract Wei Xia from Kangda. 1. Ray Allen came out of this school. 2. Richard Hamilton also came out of this school.
With Reggie Miller, two of the three NBA players that Weisha is most concerned about are from the same school, so this school is the best place in his heart.
