The Rich Heir's Identity Was Accidentally Exposed!

"Hello!"

Su Yan answered the phone.

"Hello, Mr. Su Yan. You finally picked up. Otherwise... I was really worried something might have happened to you in Golden State."

On the other end of the line, a middle-aged man spoke rapidly, sounding somewhat excited.

???

What the fuck...

The first call of the morning and he was already cursing him to get into trouble?

Was that polite?!

Su Yan immediately wanted to hang up.

"Ah~ I got a little excited and forgot to introduce myself. My name is Mike Dunleavy, head coach and general manager of the Clippers.

I'm terribly sorry to disturb you despite your busy schedule.

I'd like to discuss a contract extension with you. Is now a convenient time?

If not, we can set a time, and I can come find you."

Su Yan had been about to hang up.

But when he heard it was about a Clippers contract extension, he held back and said flatly, "Go ahead."

"Thank you for taking the time!"

To be fair, aside from that slightly offensive opening line, Mike Dunleavy's overall attitude was quite good.

He continued, "First, the contract offer: four years, 20 million USD. That's a contract above Third Pick James Harden's.

His current deal is four years, 19 million.

Now, the advantages of coming to the Clippers.

We're located in Los Angeles. Playing in the City of Angels, America's second-largest city, you'll quickly build up plenty of popularity.

And your skills are outstanding.

I believe that in a short time, you'll grow into a League Top Shooter and join the ranks of superstars!

Second, our roster is a perfect fit for you. Chris Kaman, DeAndre Jordan, and Marcus Camby.

You just need to shoot from the perimeter, and our three centers will have your back.

The implication was: as long as you came to the Clippers, they would develop you as the team's sole core!!!

I believe... with you, the Clippers will become the second team in Los Angeles to lift the O'Brien Trophy."

The first team was naturally the Lakers.

Su Yan narrowed his eyes.

He had to admit... whether it was the salary, the location, the team status, or even the manager's attitude, everything was perfect.

Su Yan was a little tempted.

But he wasn't a child, and signing a new contract wasn't some game of house where he could sign whenever he felt like it.

"Uh..."

Pretending to consider it, Su Yan pondered briefly before replying, "The Clippers are pretty good. They're my ideal next destination.

But... this might be a little too sudden.

I may need some more time to think about it."

"That's fine."

Manager Mike Dunleavy had long expected Su Yan to say that.

A high-quality player so suited to the times would definitely be in demand, and he certainly had the right to choose the best option.

He would wait.

Smiling, he said, "Mr. Su Yan, think it over first. I'll call you again in two days. It won't be too late to give me your answer then."

"Thank you!"

"Then that's all for now. Sorry again for disturbing you. Goodbye!"

Beep, beep, beep~

The call ended!

Su Yan stepped out of the elevator and headed toward the self-service area, smiling to himself. "I really am a little tempted. Should I go to the Clippers?!"

"Hey, Yan, come have breakfast!"

The moment Su Yan entered the dining room, McGrady greeted him warmly and waved him over to sit beside him.

Su Yan walked over with a smile.

For now, he wasn't going to think about the contract extension.

How could he let himself get distracted while eating?!

That would be downright inhuman.

He grabbed three slices of whole wheat bread, a bacon sandwich, a fried egg, a bowl of oatmeal, and a glass of milk.

Then he sat down with McGrady and started eating.

"Where did Su Yan go to have fun last night?!"

McGrady asked through a mouthful of bread.

"I went to Union Square too. Bought a few clothes, had a little late-night snack, then came back."

Su Yan told the truth.

"What a good boy."

McGrady smiled. Then he noticed the watch on Su Yan's wrist, and his eyes lit up. "That's a Patek Philippe, one of the world's finest watch brands.

Wow, it looks so exquisite. It must've cost a fortune, right?

Did you buy it last night?"

A player at McGrady's level could live the high-society lifestyle too, so he knew a thing or two about watches.

"Yeah."

Su Yan replied, taking a sip of oatmeal before casually saying, "It's convenient for checking the time, so I bought one.

Besides.

A man wearing a watch looks a little more mature."

He conveniently skipped over the price.

"That's true."

McGrady nodded. "A little style, and your whole aura comes right up.

I think... even if you wore pajamas to a hotel, countless escorts would still swarm you."

"Is it really that exaggerated?"

Su Yan smiled and took another sip of milk.

"Absolutely!"

McGrady laughed as well. "Women have a hard time resisting a handsome, long-legged guy with a great face and a luxury watch!!!"

"What are you two talking about? You seem pretty happy."

David Lee walked over at that moment.

His girlfriend had gotten way too wild last night. The nurse outfit had been far too tempting, and he simply couldn't resist. Before long, he had surrendered completely.

Damn it, that was frustrating!

Next time... he decided he'd take some pills to power up and reclaim his dignity.

At ten in the morning.

He sent Sabina onto her flight, then returned to the hotel where they were staying, preparing to head back to New York with the players.

Seeing everyone eating in the dining room.

He came over.

The moment he sat down, he spotted the Patek Philippe in Su Yan's hand. He immediately recognized it as the Model 1437 limited edition he had taken a liking to the night before.

"Is that the Patek Philippe Model 1437 limited edition?!"

David Lee cried out.

"Yeah."

Su Yan nodded casually and took a bite of the fried egg. Not bad... the yolk was still runny, and it tasted great.

"Oh, my god!"

David Lee clutched his head in shock. "That watch is worth 130,000 USD.

You really went all out."

"WTF?!"

McGrady, who had been fairly calm until then, was stunned too. "I knew Patek Philippe made top-tier luxury watches.

I thought 30,000 to 50,000 was already insane.

I never expected 130,000. That could buy a standard Mercedes-Benz G-Class, couldn't it?!"

"This is real extravagance!"

Larry Hughes also leaned in when he heard that. "What Mercedes-Benz G-Class? My car is a Mercedes-Benz G-Class. What's going on?!"

"There!" McGrady pursed his lips and pointed at the Patek Philippe in Su Yan's hand. "This watch is worth $130,000—enough to buy a Mercedes-Benz G-Class."

"Holy shit!"

Larry Hughes's mouth fell so wide open it looked like he could fit a lightbulb inside. Trembling, he said, "This watch costs that much?!

"The key is, my Mercedes-Benz G-Class only cost a little over $100,000. With $130,000, you could already buy the luxury version of a Mercedes-Benz G-Class!!!"

Tsk, tsk...

David Lee had long guessed that Su Yan was rich, but he had never expected him to be this rich.

It wasn't that a $130,000 car was especially expensive.

It was that... buying a $130,000 car was for transportation, a necessity of daily life. It was fine to get a better one.

But a watch? One that cost a few hundred or a few thousand could do the job.

Even one worth over $10,000 was already quite luxurious.

$130,000 was simply outrageous. Only someone at the level of a tycoon would wear one.

McGrady was equally filled with emotion. He finally realized that Su Yan played basketball purely to enjoy life!

Some people played ball, gritting their teeth and risking everything.

Others played ball to enjoy life.

Comparisons really could drive people crazy!!!
