Chapter 116: Life sometimes needs some acting skills(2/2)

It’s really hard to say who will win in today’s game.

Compared to the NBA that people in China are familiar with, people who don’t like baseball or have never played baseball.

I don't think I have much interest in baseball games either.

But Abel watched it with great interest, and he felt that it was probably the preference of his body that influenced him.

Unlike the NBA, baseball games are not timed.

Usually it is 9 games, sometimes extra games will be played because the score is deadlocked.

Under normal circumstances, sometimes it ends in one or two hours. Sometimes, the game is hard to decide and can last for four or five hours.

The longest baseball game in history was 16 years ago, in 1984, when the Chicago White Sox played the Milwaukee Brewers at home.

In that game, 25 extra rounds were played to determine the winner, which took 8 hours and 6 minutes.

After the game, both the team players and the spectators who insisted on watching until the end were all exhausted.

Fortunately, I don’t know if it was because of Abel’s presence today or because the main pitcher of the Houston Astros was injured and missed the game.

The Rangers had the upper hand and ended all nine innings within one hour and fifty minutes.

The total score was 10:6. The Rangers had four more hits and one more error than the Astros.

A relatively small number of Rangers fans in the audience happily sang the team song - "We're Flying in Texas."

Although the fans of the Houston Astros lost the game, they were very upset.

But there was no fight with Rangers fans.

Because many Houston Astros fans can actually be Rangers fans.

Some Astros fans even took off their Astros caps, revealing a Rangers cap inside.

On the other hand, if the Rangers lose tonight.

It is estimated that many Rangers fans took off their hats and turned into Astros fans.

Except for a few extremely loyal fans like Alex, the two teams belonging to two leagues are equally popular in Texas.

In the end, it turned into a chorus, and everyone happily sang the Rangers song together.

"Hahaha~" The 70-year-old man waved his hat, feeling like it was going to twist at the next moment.

Abel was afraid that he would hurt himself, so he had to stand up with him to prevent his grandfather from falling or getting hurt.

But Abel himself also liked this atmosphere very much.

His face was also filled with a smile.

But the next moment, his smile paused slightly.

Because he saw his former comrade who made Alex a little unhappy and envious.

Herbert, whom Alex had just greeted, walked over here surrounded by several tall white men.

"Hey Alex, the Rangers won, that's great."

The old white man Herbert walked over and said with a smile: "Are you interested in having a drink to celebrate? Tonight is a night worth being happy about."

Alex, who was twisting like a child just now, saw Herbert appear and the other party's proposal.

Suddenly he calmed down, and the old man returned to his gentle and reserved look.

"Ha~" Alex looked at Herbert and then at Abel.

When the latter nodded slightly, the old man smiled and said:

“Why not? How about a glass of Chateau Viognier white wine?

Arya, I know you don't allow me to drink. But in this atmosphere tonight, how about just letting me have a drink?"

What could Arya say?

Grandma could only smile: "Okay, just one drink. Mr. Herbert, you too. At your age, it's best not to drink too much."

"Haha~" Herbert laughed, "Okay, then we will only have one drink. Never more, are you right? Abel, Alexander's son, I remember your name is this."

The latter words were spoken by Herbert to Abel.

Abel responded with a smile: "From a doctor's and physical health's perspective, you really shouldn't be greedy for alcohol. You're right, sir."

"Haha~"

Half an hour later, the two old men arrived with Abel, and Abel's grandmother Arya.

Already in a restaurant in Houston.

"Barbara has never liked baseball." Faced with Arya's friendly and curious inquiry.

Herbert explained why his wife did not come with him.

"Even if it's a rare derby in Texas, sometimes it only comes once a year, she doesn't feel it's a pity."

"After all, she doesn't like it. We humans have always been like this about things we don't like."

"Okay. Indeed." Arya smiled politely.

Herbert spoke in a gentle and gentle manner, and his tone was neither hasty nor slow, which made people feel comfortable listening to him.

Compared with his son, this man is really a capable person in their family.

It can even be said bluntly that their family can suddenly transform and become a member of the "deep state" of the United States.

Herbert alone contributed more than 40% of the contribution.

The other 60% of the contribution was shared between Herbert's grandfather and father.

His grandfather was once a senior oil manager under Rockefeller and had a good relationship with him.

His father once served as a senator from Connecticut.

Compared with his grandfather and father.

His son is really an innocent second generation, the kind who inherits the legacy of his father and still does things carelessly.

Not to mention other aspects, just the ability to treat others.

Abel, who was very focused, couldn't help but admire and be cautious.

In the subsequent chat, it was mainly two old men reminiscing about the past together.

These are the unforgettable memories they had on the battlefield.

"At that time, to be honest, I really thought I was going to be eaten by them."

said Herbert.

"Those are indeed a group of beasts and a group of devils." Alex commented.

"Fortunately, I survived after all, right?" Herbert said with a smile.

"Ha~" Alex suddenly said: "Speaking of this, I admire you very much, Herbert."

"After going through that kind of thing, you can actually go to Neon and eat their sashimi as if nothing happened?

"I don't like raw meat or fish at all. Not to mention you who have experienced this."

Herbert smiled bitterly, with a vaguely disgusted expression on his face.

"I don't like it either. But in life and work, we sometimes need to perform. At that time, I was performing. I don't hate it if I try my best to perform."

Suddenly, Herbert looked at Abel, smiled at Abel and said: "Sometimes life just needs a little acting skills. Abel, do you think I am right?"

In this small dinner, Alex and Herbert mainly talked, and Arya occasionally said a few words.

Abel basically smiled and listened throughout the whole process. It can be said that this sentence was the first time Herbert spoke to Abel.

"I think this sentence is correct." Abel said.

"Like me, I'm performing on Wall Street every day now."

"I want to show them my financial talents.

"In this way, I can make them pay attention to me. Sir, what I do should be in line with your words, right?"

Herbert was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on the old man's face again.

"Ha~ That's right. What you do is indeed a performance."

he said with a smile.
