Training continued until 7 o'clock before Su Yan returned, making up for the training he hadn't finished in the morning.
After arriving home.
Rebecca, who had arrived earlier, stood by the door, having prepared his shoes, and greeted him with a smile: "dear, you're back.
Put on your shoes.
Go take a shower first.
Your pajamas are already in the bathroom."
"Thank you, dear!"
Su Yan looked very happy.
Having such a virtuous and beautiful woman waiting at home, who also takes care of everything in advance.
Su Yan was truly delighted.
He pecked Rebecca on the cheek.
Su Yan went to take a bath, and Rebecca went to the kitchen to cook.
By the time Su Yan finished his shower and came out in his pajamas, Rebecca had also served the steaming, fragrant dishes onto the dining table.
Three dishes and one soup.
Two meat, one vegetable, and one soup. Because Su Yan is an NBA athlete, the portion size of every dish was much larger than for a typical family.
Simple, yet sufficient.
Su Yan tasted each one, showing an expression of immense enjoyment, and instinctively gave a thumbs-up: "This is truly delicious.
dear.
You are so young, yet your cooking skills are like those of a veteran chef with decades of special training."
"Hehe~"
Hearing the praise for her cooking, Rebecca was also very happy.
She shook her head happily and chuckled, "I think... I have a high talent for cooking.
Anyway.
As long as you enjoy it and find it delicious, then I will be happy and will keep cooking for you."
"Haha~"
Su Yan laughed heartily: "It's too delicious, today... I'm going to eat five bowls of rice!!!"
"Okay~ Finish all the dishes! Clean Plate Campaign!!!"
After dinner.
Su Yan helped clear the dishes, and though he wanted to wash them, Rebecca pulled him to the sofa to sit and rest.
"dear, you are so good to me!"
Su Yan said with a smile.
Rebecca's face was also full of joy, "Isn't it only natural for me to be good to my boyfriend?
Besides.
My boyfriend is good to me too."
Su Yan hugged Rebecca close, and after they shared a moment, Rebecca went to tidy up the kitchen.
Su Yan turned on the TV to watch the news.
Just then... a text message notification sounded, not just one, but two messages.
The first was a notification that the New York Knicks monthly salary had arrived. NBA players are heavily taxed.
It differs from place to place.
The tax rate ranges from 20% to 50%.
In New York, it is very high, reaching 45%.
Su Yan's monthly salary is 1 million US dollars. After deducting taxes and various miscellaneous fees, he was left with only 510,000 US dollars.
Although it is terrifyingly high compared to ordinary people.
But the deductions really are numerous.
The second message was the first month's salary from Adidas.
The annual salary is 33.33 million; monthly, this is about 2.78 million, and after tax, the amount received was 1.53 million.
As for the 15% personal commission, since there is currently no sneaker revenue, there is no income yet.
But Adidas also promised to release "Signature Sneakers" this year, so the commission will arrive soon enough.
Crucially.
Su Yan only signed with Adidas a few days ago, yet they are already paying his monthly salary, essentially paying him in advance.
This is truly generous.
In this way.
Su Yan received a total of 510,000 + 1.53 million = 2.14 million US dollars today.
Experience: 2,255,347/5,000,000.
Current Balance: 4.2135 million.
Looking at the upgrade experience and his balance, Su Yan fell into thought.
"I'm still 2.75 million short of upgrading the Money-Making Level to Lv5. This is a very awkward number.
I also want to upgrade [Spring Man Lv2].
The jump boost is very helpful for improving my strength, and if I can take it a step further, it will definitely be better!
But.
The upgrade requires 5 million, and I don't have enough.
So... should I quickly spend 2.75 million to raise the Money-Making Level to Lv5 first, or should I wait a bit longer, get 5 million, and directly upgrade [Spring Man Lv2] and raise the Money-Making Level to Lv5 simultaneously?!"
Su Yan was slightly conflicted.
After a moment.
He decided on the latter.
Currently, there's nothing special he needs to buy. He will wait until his balance reaches 5 million and directly upgrade [Spring Man Lv2].
A few days won't make a difference.
"What are you thinking about? Your eyebrows are practically knitted together. Is something troubling you?!"
While Su Yan was deep in thought.
Rebecca had already tidied the kitchen—it was quick work with only two sets of dishes—and brought over a plate of washed fruit.
"Ha~"
Su Yan snapped out of his thoughts, pulled Rebecca into his arms, and laughed: "I received two paychecks today.
One from the New York Knicks team, and one from Adidas.
Over 2 million arrived all at once. I have too much money and am struggling with how to spend it."
"Hahaha!"
Rebecca laughed and playfully punched Su Yan's chest, "dear, if you say that outside, you'll get beaten up!!!"
That's true.
It's a bit Versailles.
However... Su Yan would naturally only joke like this in front of Rebecca.
Su Yan asked, "You have a driver's license, right?"
"Yes~ Why?"
Rebecca nodded, picked up two cherry tomatoes, fed one to Su Yan, and ate the other herself.
"That's good."
Su Yan smiled and continued: "I'll buy you a commuter car in a few days to make your travel easier.
Taking a taxi every day isn't practical."
"I don't want it!"
Rebecca vehemently refused, "A car is too expensive. I'll buy one myself once I earn a little more money."
She truly didn't want it.
But... the fact that Su Yan was thinking of her and cared about her already made Rebecca incredibly happy.
The emotional barrier she felt during the day suddenly lessened significantly.
Yes.
As long as Su Yan was good to her, everything else was irrelevant; Rebecca didn't care about it.
Su Yan rubbed Rebecca's head and smiled: "I'm not discussing this with you; this is something I've decided.
It's just like your cooking.
Why should you refuse me being good to my girlfriend? Or are you saying... you don't actually like me enough?
And that's why you have reservations about me?!"
Su Yan countered with a question, attempting to take the initiative.
"No, no!"
Rebecca quickly denied it, rubbing her delicate, flawless face against Su Yan's cheek like a kitten.
"I really think it's too expensive. I don't want you to waste so much money, I..."
"Hmm?"
Su Yan looked at her seriously.
This made Rebecca a little scared; her voice of refusal grew softer and softer until she finally whispered, "I understand~"
"That's a good girl!"
Su Yan smiled again.
Rebecca seemed to realize what happened, punched Su Yan again, and complained playfully, "Buy a car if you want to buy a car.
Why did you scold me?"
"You scolded me?!"
Su Yan turned the accusation back on her, and the two of them started to tussle!
