Chapter 121 Invite Redick to Drink Tea
To be honest, it is basically impossible for yellow people to enjoy equal rights with black and white people in the alliance.The most fundamental reason is that Americans' racial discrimination is deeply ingrained and cannot be eliminated.

Regardless of the reason, the consequences of discrimination against yellow people by white people will never be as serious as discrimination against black people.To put it bluntly, if Paul hadn't known An Xiaonan and the two had a good relationship, then Paul might not have cared about this matter at all.Because they are not black people who are discriminated against.

"Okay...I think I'll talk to him. I think he's in Los Angeles for the All-Star weekend, so we can meet if you want," Paul said.

An Xiaonan was immediately delighted: "Of course, everything depends on you, the great Chris Paul!"

……

Under Paul's repeated persuasion, Redick finally agreed to meet An Xiaonan.After all, there is the most important point, Paul will ensure his safety.

To be honest, after An Xiaonan broke his ankle last time, Redick had a shadow on An Xiaonan.So much so that after the 76ers played against the Magic, Redick played timidly.

A local Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles, a reserved private room.

An Xiaonan and Redick sat facing each other, and Paul sat between them, acting as a peacemaker when necessary.

When An Xiaonan saw Redick, he didn't curse forcefully. Instead, he picked up the teapot at hand and poured three cups of "Mingqian Longjing" tea.

To explain the former Longjing, it is a famous product in the West Lake area, so I won't go into details here.

An Xiaonan picked up the teacup, with a smile on his face, and brought the cup to Paul in an elegant and calm manner, then stood up and brought the other cup to Redick himself.

Alcohol is out of the question due to the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest tonight.

Both Paul and Redick were puzzled, especially Redick. He thought that the two sides would be tit-for-tat when he came here, but he didn't expect the contrast to be so big as expected.

"This is a famous tea from the eastern Zhejiang region of China, called Mingqian Longjing." An Xiaonan said with a smile, "Both of you can taste it first."

Paul and Redick looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.

Then Redick took the lead in picking up the teacup and drank it down.Paul followed suit.

An Xiaonan smiled and carefully observed Redick's reaction.

Redick didn't show any expression on his face, and he acted as if nothing happened after drinking.

An Xiaonan asked: "Mr. Redick, what do you think of this tea?"

"I don't understand Chinese tea art, so I can't make unreasonable comments." Redick slyly said such a sentence that made him step down.

An Xiaonan smiled, which was already expected by him: "I can think that you are acknowledging the profoundness of Chinese culture?"

Redick frowned slightly.

On Paul's side, he was already immersed in the fragrance of tea... But he could also hear what An Xiaonan meant: You have little knowledge.

Seeing that Reddick was silent, An Xiaonan said again: "Chinese culture is extensive and profound, with a 5000-year history of inheritance. I don't think there is any reason for an American who has only existed for 33 years to be the representative of the entire Chinese people." ridicule them, insult them."

Redick pursed his lips and nodded, with a smirk on his face: "I think you're right. Actually, I didn't mean to insult the Chinese."

An Xiaonan raised his eyebrows, and said with a half smile: "Mr. Redick, when did I say you insulted the Chinese?"

Redick's pupils contracted, and his expression became flustered.

An Xiaonan smiled calmly: "Since you admit it yourself, sir, then we can get to the point."

Redick pursed his lips. He said the wrong thing.

Paul consciously picked up the teapot and poured another cup of Mingqian Longjing into his teacup. He just wanted to drink two more sips now.As for the conversation between An Xiaonan and Redick, he knew that An Xiaonan would be careful.

An Xiaonan chuckled: "Chris, I need to buy this tea. It costs a thousand dollars."

Paul's movements were visibly sluggish, but he still fell down.

An Xiaonan smiled, and turned the topic back to Redick.

"Redick, we all saw your inappropriate remarks on the Chinese New Year greeting video."

Before An Xiaonan finished speaking, Redick defended himself a little excitedly: "An Xiaonan, I'm just tongue-tied! If those reporters raised this question, I would definitely correct it on the spot! But they didn't, so this is It shows that you Chinese are not conscious enough!"

Redick obviously wanted to blame the Tencent Sports staff who recorded the video.

An Xiaonan said: "Perhaps what you said is correct, but that's just some people. I choose to believe that your tongue got stuck at that time. After all, you are a smart person, and you are very careful when speaking in public."

Redick was relieved when he heard An Xiaonan confirm his statement.

Paul sipped tea while listening to the conversation between the two.

An Xiaonan paused, and said again: "But I think you are habitually tongue-tied."

Redick had just breathed a sigh of relief, and heard An Xiaonan's hot words, almost choked, and said angrily: "An Xiaonan, you are mocking me!"

An Xiaonan shook his head: "Sir, don't get excited, if you calm down and listen to me, we still have room for reconciliation."

Redick swallowed. For some reason, he felt that what An Xiaonan said was very powerful.He subconsciously thought that if he had a falling out with An Xiaonan, his career would be over.

His injury just happened not long ago.

"That's what you usually call us off the court." An Xiaonan spread his hands, "I heard it last time. Then you should remember the result."

Redick defended: "Only once in a while, you know, just by the way."

"Oh? It seems that you didn't tie your tongue during the interview, but just said it out of your mouth?" An Xiaonan looked at Redick, who was sweating on his forehead, with a half-smile.

"Hey, I..."

Before Redick was ready to speak, An Xiaonan took the lead: "I don't want to hear your excuses now, I just want you to admit that you said something you shouldn't have said."

"...Yes, I said something I shouldn't have said." Redick hesitated for a while, but still admitted.

"Then, I just want you to give an explanation to the Chinese people and sincerely admit your mistakes. I don't want to see tongue-tied words on your Twitter anymore." An Xiaonan said flatly.

Redick was silent, and it was almost impossible for him to apologize sincerely.Even if he apologized, he has collapsed in the hearts of Chinese fans.
