In America, the winner takes all.

Chapter 309: Urgent Urgency (8K)

Although it was a day off today, Ethan still got up on time. After coming to the Cowboys, he maintained an excellent work and rest habit. He would close his eyes before 11 o'clock every night and get up around seven o'clock the next day. After getting up, I will do aerobic training for forty minutes.

Of course, if there are visitors at home, such as Penny or Katherine, Ethan will work overtime and perform a special morning exercise program before going to bed.

"Wow..." Ethan opened the curtains, and the early winter sunshine seemed particularly strong. It seemed that today was a good weather, especially suitable for going out.

Ethan turned his head and looked at the two beauties lying on the bed.

Ethan knew that Grace had been very busy these days preparing for the Independence Bowl game, and she only fell asleep in the early hours of last night. It was time to catch up on a good sleep, so he stopped disturbing and rolled to Charlize on the other side. Charlize was sleeping even more deeply here, so she smacked her mouth twice and opened her arms slightly to make it easier for Ethan's hands to explore.

Speaking of which, she was also busy filming during this period, and she didn't get much rest after all. Ethan put away his thoughts, silently got out of bed, got dressed and walked out of the room. As soon as he walked out, he heard Mia's movements coming from the kitchen. sound.

Ethan is a scumbag who can be killed or buried. He breaks off corn cobs and goes to find the next one. Although Ethan is well-paid and has a nanny to take care of his children, he only has 24 hours a day, so he has to stay away from this contact. Well, this is very painful for Mia, but she has to maintain her relationship with them in private. This morning I had to prepare breakfast for Ethan and his family. Yesterday’s Thanksgiving dinner was also prepared in the afternoon.

Ethan walked into the bedroom and became concerned about his mother. As a time traveler, he naturally practiced the traditional virtues of his hometown and was especially filial to his mother after he became successful.

"After working hard for so long, it's time to enjoy it." Ethan muttered.

"What's the trouble? It's just a meal once in a while." Mia actually enjoyed it.

"By the way, those two models were originally going to come, but New York Fashion Week is approaching and they really can't get away," Mia said.

Mia was talking about Bridget Hall and Heidi Klum, which was unplanned. They had each given birth to a child for Ethan before. Their families were particularly opposed to being with Ethan before, but after they gave birth to a child, their parents' attitudes made a 180-degree turn, and there was no way to stop them for fear of Ethan. Abandoning wife and children.

The two of them were busy with their careers and couldn't make it. Ethan decided to go to New York if he had time. It just so happened that Gisele Bundchen would also participate in the fashion week, so he could see her by the way. Ethan was actually a somewhat partial guy, and for Gisele Bundchen Chen liked Chen more than anyone else. If Giselle hadn't been very busy at the beginning of her career, Ethan would have let her come to Dallas.

While chatting with Mia, Ethan helped Mia prepare breakfast. Americans generally have a rich breakfast, but lunch is more expensive. Mia made a large table of meals, including of course Ethan's favorite beef.

Almost ready, Grace and Charlize also woke up one after another. Charlize simply tidied up her hair, and Grace didn't prepare anything. The two of them were facing each other. Compared with when they met Ethan yesterday, their faces looked brighter. Lost a bit of color.

Seeing Ethan standing in the kitchen doing some work, the two women looked at each other, then walked into the kitchen at the same time, and took the initiative to take over Ethan's work.

Grace can usually cook, which is understandable, but Charlize doesn't know how to turn on the fire and takes the initiative to help, which seems a bit abnormal.

Although European and American women do not have the concept of "virtuous", it does not mean that they can't do anything. Later, Ethan and Mia were pushed out of the kitchen by the two of them.

This time Mia finally experienced her daughter-in-law's filial piety, which made her quite emotional, and she also talked about Ethan's father.

Ethan proposed a trip to the outskirts of Dallas today.

Mia, on the other hand, clamored to go back to Los Angeles and take care of the children. In fact, the children were taken care of by servants, so it was not her turn. The reason was that she missed her granddaughter, so Ethan had to let her leave first.

"Charlize, do you want to leave too?" Ethan asked at this time.

Charlize immediately shook his head. After being so gentle last night, Charlize became even more clingy. There was no way. Although JJ Harris, the female manager, had a very close relationship with Charlize, Ethan was the father of the child and a relative. Of course, the two cannot be compared. Ethan's suggestion last night also let Charlize know who is the one who is truly good to her.

No matter what happens in the future, Ethan will stand in front of him to protect him... An idea came to Charlize's mind, and he involuntarily grabbed Ethan's hand under the table. Charlize is an insecure person, but after seeing Ethan as someone to rely on, infinite dependence will surge in her heart...

Ethan felt Charlize's warm palm and thought to himself: I really can't even taste the food well.

Under the table, in addition to Charlize holding Ethan's hand, Grace also stretched her feet to Ethan's legs, teasing her early in the morning, wondering if she wanted to make up for what she had owed before.

Ethan and the other three took Mia to the airport, and the staff who came with Charlize also left on the same flight. In order to avoid suspicion, Charlize did not get out of the car, but even so, Ethan and Grace still caused a commotion after entering the airport. Even in this era, not everyone has a camera, and there are many camera lenses pointed at Ethan, and the spotlights are flashing. stop.

Ethan paid attention to Charlize's sturdy bodyguard at this time, and suddenly felt that he should also have a follower to handle this kind of situation.

Almost leaving the airport as if fleeing, Ethan and Grace returned to the car.

The car was still the Grand Voyager, and only then did Ethan realize that it was exactly the same as the car Lisa was riding in before.

"The person contacted by the assistant should be affiliated with a local car rental company in Dallas."

Ethan looked towards the driving position.

"Mr. O'Connor, please rest assured that we keep the privacy of our customers absolutely confidential and will never leak any information." The driver who was driving seemed to feel Ethan's gaze and spoke hurriedly.

Ethan didn’t say anything.

"Where to go next?" The driver asked proactively.

Before Ethan could answer, the two women beside him answered in unison: "Go back to Ethan's place."

It's not that they want to continue fighting, but that the two of them have to go back and put on makeup.

"It looks pretty like this." Ethan muttered. Women are indeed troublesome. If the two of them were careful, it would take nearly an hour just to put on makeup.

"But it can look even better," said Grace, who was sitting in the back row.

As for Charlize, she even wore a hat and sunglasses to prevent Ethan from seeing her true appearance.

So Ethan reluctantly agreed and went back with the two of them. While the two were busy working in the bedroom, Ethan started thinking about where to go.

Even Kelsey was not familiar with the area around Dallas. Charlotte definitely wanted to find out who she was with. After thinking about it, Ethan dialed the number of his teammate who had lived in Dallas for many years.

"What are you waiting for? Come to Cedar Ridge, the team members are all here!" Fullback Daryl continued to suggest to Ethan.

When Ethan asked, he learned that even Emmitt Smith and Troy Aikman had gone. The entire hiking plan would span the entire Cedar Ridge Reserve for two days and one night, and the event would officially start this afternoon.

Charlize and Grace also agreed after hearing the news. One of them is sitting in the office and the other is on the set. They usually don't have much chance to get close to nature.

Hiking in winter can only be thought of by foreigners who like to risk their lives for adventure. Shouldn’t we find a warm place in this climate?

Although Ethan was not interested, he couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the two women, so he called Daryl back and asked about the meeting place.

Since it was hiking in the wild and it was early winter, neat outdoor equipment was very necessary. The driver recommended several outdoor equipment stores to Ethan, and his words seemed to be very proficient in this area.

Only then did Ethan ask in detail. It turned out that this driver had grown up in the mountains of northern Montana. His family had been wilderness hunters for generations. They made money by hunting animals. A mink skin could be sold for dozens or even nearly a hundred dollars depending on the market. , a complete deer hide will be more expensive.

With this driver leading the way, Ethan quickly got the equipment. When checking out, the driver even took out his membership card to let Ethan enjoy the discount. The equipment selected also took into account the actual situation of Ethan and the three of them. It can be seen that he is a Attentive guy.

He is also very enthusiastic towards Ethan and takes the initiative to help Ethan carry things to the car. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a natural bitch.

"What's your name?" Ethan asked.

"Just call me Peter." The man with a beard said. His wife is a senior Dallas fan, and she is also deeply affected.

When Ethan got out of the car, he wanted to give him a tip, but he refused directly.

"If possible, can you sign my clothes? My wife wants your signature in her dreams." At this time, Peter made his little request rather embarrassedly.

Of course Ethan would not refuse. After getting Ethan's signature, Peter grinned, not to mention how happy he was, and then said: "It is my honor to serve you."

There was a chance to get tips and autographs at the same time, but only autographs were required.

Ethan actually felt that this middle-aged man with a somewhat honest face was quite upright.

"Wait for us at the eastern exit tomorrow evening." Ethan ordered.

"Okay sir." Peter finally helped Ethan move the outdoor equipment to the hotel lobby where they were gathering, and then left.

There were already many of Ethan's teammates in the hall at this time, and they couldn't help but marvel at the two women next to Ethan.

"You brat, why did the girl next to you change again?" Daryl couldn't help but hit Ethan on the shoulder when he saw this, first Katherine, then Lisa, then Kelsey, and now two other blond women, This does not include the female reporter who has nothing to do with Ethan. He has opened his eyes in the past few days.

Ethan looked at his teammates with evil smiles on their faces and made a silent gesture. Then he saw Troy and his sister in the crowd. Troy's sister, whom Ethan had met before, took the initiative to leave Ethan's phone number. The number is coming.

At this moment, the special girl saw two blond beauties next to Ethan, one with short hair and one with long hair. Their temperament and appearance were directly different from those of the wives of his teammates around him, and she suddenly felt mixed emotions in her heart.

"Wait a minute, this seems to be... I remember you acted in a movie, right?" A teammate recognized him at this time.

Charlize is somewhat famous now, so it's normal for these teammates to recognize her.

Charlize then introduced herself to the people around her. Now the teammates who were married and those who were not married couldn't stand it any longer. They looked at Ethan with envy.

"Ethan, tell me honestly, how many more are you hiding?" Emmett couldn't help but joke.

"It's gone, it's really gone." Ethan decided to prepare for the playoffs with peace of mind and stop blaming in front of his teammates.

At this time, Ethan met Emmett's female companion. She had a skin tone several shades darker than Kelsey's wheat-colored skin. She looked like she was black and white. She was also dressed very delicately. Although in Ethan's eyes she looked different. Charlize Grace is a far cry from the two. However, this kind of face with thick lips and high forehead and cheekbones seems to be more in line with the aesthetics of black people.

Emmett then introduced her, and it turned out that the girlfriend beside him was quite young. She was Miss Virginia from the Miss America beauty pageant, named Patricia Southall.

Miss America is held every year. Each state first selects the Miss in the state, and then comes together for the finals. Penny was Miss Alabama before.

If you think about it carefully, with Emmett's current reputation and financial resources, of course he would not find those ordinary women.

Although this is an unofficial event during the holidays, there are still differences in the right to speak between the team members. Ethan and other core players were also asked to get together to discuss the route.

"I think we'd better find a guide, so the hike will become easier." Ethan thought for a while and said.

This put the other team members in a difficult situation, something no one had thought of before.

"I do have a good candidate, he may be suitable." Ethan thought of the driver Peter.

Then they made a call. When Peter heard about it, he immediately agreed without even asking about the price.

The others didn't go far and returned in less than ten minutes. With him around, the rugby players didn't need to participate in planning the route at all. It was easily completed by one person, and several important scenic spots in the nature reserve were taken care of along the way.

Then it was time to set off. There were only a few singles, and most of the team members had their wives and children.

"Our children will be able to hike with us in two years." Grace sighed when she saw this.

"The premise is that you must pass your studies." Ethan said.

Compared with most parents in Europe and the United States, Ethan is a standard parent of chicken babies.

He felt that no matter how much money he made, his family fortune would be ruined if he met an unlearned descendant. Since I have so many children, inheritance will become a big problem in a few years. Ethan has decided that whoever has the ability will inherit his main inheritance, and it will all depend on ability.

"I just hope that my child will suffer less in the future." Charlize shook his head and thought of himself again.

Charlize's childhood was not happy at all. Her father's death had a great impact on her. She would never let herself have a similar experience with Ethan's children, so she wanted to live happily with Ethan.

Although it is a nature reserve, there is really nothing to appreciate in this season. There are bare trees everywhere, but the two women really enjoy the feeling of walking in nature.

Night came in a blink of an eye, and the team stopped in a flat open space. The team members began to set up tents as a family unit. The women arranged accommodation in the tents, and the men prepared food for tonight. Everything seemed to have returned to a farming society.

After a collective meal, the team members gathered together and chatted around the campfire. There are only a few topics between men, such as daily batches, making money...

However, most of the people present were married people, and the focus of the conversation quickly shifted to making money.

“Looking at the news, the Cowboys’ attendance is at a new high this year.”

"Texans really have a passion for football."

"Even the training camp before the season had five sponsors..." the team members said all at once.

Some people lamented, others sighed. Emmitt Smith sat there, drinking beer without saying a word, and there was a bottle cap on the beer can.

"Smith, you seem to have something on your mind." Daryl couldn't help but ask.

Emmitt Smith shook his head.

"It's nothing, I just... feel that young people today are progressing really fast."

Of course this was referring to Ethan.

"Man, if you need to consider renewing your contract, I can recommend an agent to you. She is the one who came to the manor with me for a party last time. She now has Peyton Manning and Charles Woodson..." Ethan said suddenly.

He knows that Emmett's contract will expire in the middle of next year, and he will have to discuss the contract extension with the Cowboys at that time.

"Wow, Ethan, you really thought far enough and actually got involved with an agent." Daryl grinned.

The gap between different agents is just like that between ordinary players and star players. Top star agents often work in Hollywood. In other words, that woman with extraordinary temperament must be very rich.

Of course, Ethan would not open his mouth to explain to the team members. He was arranging this behind the scenes, so as not to make the team members feel resentful.

Emmett's doubts are actually related to himself. Now that the Cowboys have Ethan, the old Jones will no longer rely too much on these old players as before. In addition, with the hard salary cap hanging over his head, it is necessary to continue to deal with the high-priced Ai After Mitt completes the contract extension, it is better to sign high-quality and cheap new players to free up more salary space to strengthen other positions. This is something that Jones needs to think about.

Regardless, Emmitt will lose negotiating room with the Cowboys.

Can his agent bring Emmett a lucrative contract at this critical moment? This has to be a question mark.

It was because of his doubts that Ethan recommended Lisa to him.

Emmet thought for a while, but finally did not agree to Ethan's proposal, and said: "I think the current agent is pretty good, and I have no plans to change agents for the time being."

"When you need it, you can contact me at any time." Ethan said without saying much.

In a blink of an eye, it was time to fall asleep. Ethan bought a large two-person tent and a double sleeping bag, but even so, it was too small for three people, so Ethan had to let the two of them lie in the sleeping bag, and he So I made do with a coat wrapped around my sleeping bag for the night.

Early the next morning, when Ethan woke up, he found two women hugging each other tightly, seemingly for warmth while sleeping. Suddenly, a bolder idea emerged from Ethan's mind...

"Why are you looking at us like that?" Charlize found that there was something special about the way Ethan looked at her and Grace today.

"It must not be a good thing." Charlize muttered based on her understanding of Ethan and what happened on Thanksgiving night.

As for the guide Peter, Ethan was even more caring during the two-day trip. The reason is also very simple, because he got this job opportunity as a guide, which is much higher in terms of income than being a driver.

But for others, Peter was not so enthusiastic at all, even though these people were also Cowboys players. Obviously he knows who to follow to get the real benefits.

This is a man who can be loyal enough if he gives his bones.

"I have a new job opportunity. You can be my driver and personal assistant. Are you interested in this?"

At the end of the two-day and one-night hiking trip, after sending the three of them back to the apartment again, Ethan extended an invitation to Peter.

"Then it's such an honor for me!" Peter agreed without any doubt, after all, the remuneration offered by Ethan was still much higher than that of a private car driver. And this was just a drop in the bucket for Ethan. Ethan decided to let him be affiliated with Lisa or Grace's company, and let him be responsible for driving for him and handling some of the most basic things in the future.

As they return home again, the Thanksgiving holiday is coming to an end. The next morning, Grace and Charlize will return to their respective lives, and the Cowboys will gather again. This week the Cowboys will prepare for the next round and New Orleans. Saints game.

"But before we say goodbye, we still have a whole night." Grace started to pinch Ethan's face with a smile on her face.

The three of them are lying in the circular bathtub. The huge circular bathtub can accommodate the three of them easily. There is a floating tray above the water with a goblet on it. In the glass is freshly opened champagne. Under the water There is a constant flow of water washing the three people's bodies. This is called massage mode.

Grace picked up the goblet, brought it to Ethan's mouth, and fed Ethan wine herself.

Corruption, so corrupt! When Charlize saw this scene, he thought to himself.

After Ethan drank the wine, he couldn't help grabbing Grace and pinching her twice, causing Grace to let out a cry.

Not long after soaking, Grace already shouted that she couldn't do it anymore and asked Ethan to carry her out.

I don't know if it was because of the alcohol or the temperature in the bathroom that was too high. Grace's fair face had turned rosy. She looked drunk. She didn't know if she was faking it.

Ethan asked her to wait on the bed first, and after she left, Charlize cleaned Ethan's body.

"What do you think of Grace?" Ethan asked suddenly with his back to Charlize.

"It's quite beautiful, what's wrong?" Charlize said subconsciously.

Grace has a typical white female appearance, with a high and straight nose bridge, large eyes, and slender eyebrows. As a cheerleader for many years, Grace has a very good figure. She has a slim height of five feet and ten inches and weighs 67 kilograms. Standing next to Charlize Theron, a future star, is no slouch either.

"Then do you like her?"

"Why do you ask that?" Charlize was surprised.

"At least it's not annoying, right?" Ethan said again.

Soon Charlize knew why Ethan asked...

"I have no idea about this." Charlize shook his head repeatedly.

As for Grace, she was kissing Ethan constantly.

Ethan then raised his head and encouraged the two to give it a try.

I don't really have any other ideas. Just wanted to open my eyes.

Grace and Charlize looked at each other, and then Grace, who was still half drunk, took the initiative.

There are a lot of tricks tonight...

·

"How was your vacation? I heard you were very busy, blonde, or two?" Dave Campo said with a smile when he saw Ethan in the training hall.

He had just been talking to other team members about the holiday that had just passed. The two blond girls next to Ethan naturally heard the news in his ears.

That's quite fulfilling.

Ethan recalled the scenes last night in his mind and felt that it should be promoted on a large scale. It was just a way to bring these women closer to each other. As for the issue of whether to tie the knot or not, if you don’t even have this little confidence , that’s all in vain.

"What's the situation with the Saints now?" Ethan asked at this time.

The Saints and Cowboys were founded at the same time and were a product of the league's aggressive expansion. In the mid-1980s, a wealthy car dealer and banker named Tom Benson acquired the team before Jones Sr. purchased the Cowboys. Three years earlier.

It can be said that the Cowboys and the Saints have similar development trajectories, but the difference is that the two have completely opposite results. The Cowboys have established a glorious dynasty, while the Saints have entered the playoffs more times since their establishment. You can count them on one hand. Even entering the new century, the Saints are the worst team in the league and have not made the playoffs in 20 years.

Today's Saints are not much better. The former Bears head coach Michael Keller Ditka, who had high hopes, has not brought any performance improvement to the team.

In the thirteen rounds so far, the Saints have lost more than they won, and are in an awkward position in the National League West. To be honest, they are weak. The Panthers in the same district have only won two games. The Rams also only have one more win than the Panthers.

The other two opponents in the National League West, the Atlanta Falcons and the San Francisco 49ers, have lost fewer games than the Panthers and Rams have won, which makes the Saints' third place position in the division particularly stable.

He will definitely not make it to the playoffs, but it is unrealistic to get a good round in next year's draft.

"The next game is the Saints' home court, so we can't be careless." Dave Campo still said very cautiously.

"Especially now that the main players are absent." He added.

Nate Newton is not expected to return to the team until the penultimate round, while Michael Irvin is already ruled out for the season due to a recurrence of his collarbone injury.

Obviously, the Cowboys still have to face the problem that occurred in the last quarter of the last game-the horse broke a leg under its crotch.

"Although the lineup is incomplete, our No. 1 seed position is not stable. We have to win at least two rounds." Dave Campo glanced at Ethan meaningfully.

Winning two more rounds means the Cowboys are guaranteed to be the second seed and will have a huge advantage entering the playoffs.

When Dave said this, he did not mean to hand over this difficult task to Ethan.

"The premise is that the Cowboys must have a qualified offensive left tackle substitute." Ethan said that he would never fight a battle without resources.

The team's original substitutes, Ethan, were not satisfied.

"Who do you want? As long as you ask, I will find a way to satisfy you."

Ethan thought for a while and handed over this mission to his old teammate who was also from the University of Alabama: "I want Michael Myers."

"Can he do it?" Dave Campo frowned slightly.

Michael Myers hasn’t had many opportunities to play this season.

"He has been my offensive left tackle since college, and the cooperation between the two of us is very tacit," Ethan said.

"His recent performance is not as good as several other substitutes. Are you sure you want to help him?" Dave Campo asked.

"I think since none of these players are considered qualified if they don't tackle, I'd better pick the one I'm most familiar with." Ethan nodded.

It's not that he is too loyal. In fact, it doesn't matter who he chooses, but Michael Myers is fundamentally different from the others. His agent is Lisa, who can help him quickly build up his worth. Profit.

In this way, even if he is traded to another team next year, his contract negotiations will not be too passive.

"Ethan! Ethan! My dear Ethan, I have finally waited for you. You don't know how much I miss you these days!"

A voice interrupted the conversation between Ethan and the head coach, and Billy walked straight towards Ethan as soon as he entered the locker room.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Billy didn't know why he was particularly enthusiastic about Ethan.

"Ethan, I'm in big trouble now, you must help me!" Billy grabbed Ethan's shoulders with a look of extreme urgency.
