Dai Li was almost 100% sure that Iris had met a liar.
"Is someone using my recovery results to lie to others? This is not acceptable." Dai Li suppressed the anger in his heart, and then said: "Mr. Iris, I still suggest that you inquire carefully about this kind of thing. Was it an Indian who helped Helheim recover? The car king Helheim is a celebrity, and it is not difficult to contact him or his agent. And you have coached several Among the ten boxing champions, maybe one of them knows Helheim.”
"Listening to the tone of voice, Coach Li seems to know something." Iris is also an experienced man. He noticed that there was something in Dai Li's words, but after all, it was the first time that the two met, and their relationship was only a little stronger than that of strangers. Iris can't expect Li Dai to speak from the bottom of his heart, and Li Dai can't say everything without reservation. Although there is such a thing as "feeling like an old friend at first sight" in this world, it is absolutely impossible for two people to tell each other everything about themselves when they meet for the first time.
Dai Li and Taylor left the villa and got into the car. Taylor then asked: "Coach Li, I just heard what you said. You seem to know about Lithium-Day. Do you think he is a liar?"
"If I said that it was not the Indian rehabilitator Lithium-Day who helped the car king Helheim recover, would you believe it?" Dai Li asked rhetorically.
"I believe it! I definitely believe you." Taylor nodded seriously: "Coach Li, do you know something inside? Do you know the rehabilitation practitioner of Jean Helheim, right? It's really not the one named Lithium- Day’s people?”
"Of course I know that rehabilitator. We have eaten, lived and slept together for decades! What he likes to eat, what he likes to drink, what kind of girl he likes, I even know where he has a lot of body hair! There is no such thing in this world. People know him better than I do." Dai Li shrugged.
"That's great. We should go back now and tell Iris about this. Maybe he will change his mind and agree to my employment." Taylor said excitedly.
However, Dai Li on the opposite side did not speak, looking silent.
"What's wrong?" Taylor was stunned for a moment, recalling what Dai Li just said.
"Eating, living and sleeping together? Decades? Coach Li, is that person your family? Your father? Or your brother?" Taylor asked immediately.
Dai Li shook his head. He admired Taylor's slow response.
But at this time, Taylor finally figured it out. He slowed down his speaking speed and asked: "Coach Li, that rehabilitation therapist, could it be you?"
"You finally understand! I am the one who helped Helheim recover. I am the rehabilitation practitioner." Dai Li nodded.
"Oh my God!" Taylor's body trembled violently, with an exaggerated expression on his face, completely in disbelief.
It took more than half a minute for Taylor to come back to his senses. He asked, "Lee, why didn't you tell Iris directly just now?"
"Tell him directly? What should I say? I said that Lithium-Day was a liar. It was me who really restored Helheim's health. Do you think it was appropriate for me to say that in the situation just now? If I said that, What will Iris think? Will he believe it? Even if he believes it, will he think that we are deliberately threatening him?" Dai Li asked.
"Well..." Taylor thought about it seriously and did not answer directly.
"Kevin, Iris and I just met for the first time. We don't understand each other. To be more precise, we don't trust each other. Would you trust someone you met for the first time? Just like you are walking on the street. When a stranger suddenly hands you a business card and introduces himself, you will definitely think that he is an advertising salesman, and you will not believe what he says at all!" Li Dai said.
"Okay, I admit that what you said makes sense." Taylor nodded, and then asked: "Then can you really restore a paralyzed person to health?"
"Rehabilitation training is my special skill." Dai Li did not hide it.
"Then are you going to help Iris?" Taylor then asked.
"If he asks, I will consider it." Dai Li thought for a while and then said: "But it is very troublesome. I mean, the patient's recovery process is very troublesome and may take several months, or even one or two years. But now, I don’t have so much time. After all, I am a sports coach, not a rehabilitation therapist. If I was willing to be a rehabilitation practitioner, I should have stayed in Europe two years ago instead of coming to the United States to open a physical training center. .”
"So even if Iris asks you for help, you might not agree to it?" Taylor then asked.
"Kevin, a person needs to understand that he should do what he should do when the time comes. Look at the bosses of large technology companies, such as Microsoft and Facebook. Their founders are all excellent programmers. Will they still sit at the computer and program? Of course not! They are the operators of the company. And my first job now is to run my physical training center, not to be a guest rehabilitation trainer." Li Dai said He patted Taylor on the shoulder: "Of course, if time permits, I wouldn't mind helping those in need."
…
Iris was sitting on the sofa with a very serious face. Before leaving, Dai Li kept asking him to check whether the Indian rehabilitation therapist was a liar. This made Iris feel doubtful.
As the saying goes, three people make a tiger, Iris was originally full of confidence in that Lithium-Day, but after Dai Li's reminder, he couldn't help but start to doubt in his heart.
"Is there really a problem?" Iris took out his mobile phone and opened the address book on the mobile phone. He hesitated whether to call the Swedish friend's phone number and ask again.
"He is doing me a favor. If I confirm with him again, will it appear that I don't trust him? We are all friends. This seems inappropriate." Iris thought to himself.
However, at this moment, Iris's phone suddenly vibrated, and a long list of phone numbers appeared on it, which was the call from the Swedish friend.
"He called me instead." Iris immediately picked up the phone.
"Hey, my old friend, I'm here to apologize to you. I made a mistake about the rehabilitation therapist I told you about last time!" the Swede said.
"Is there really something wrong with that Lithium-Day?" Iris's heart tightened. He had a very bad premonition, so Iris immediately asked: "Is that India a liar? Or is there something wrong with this person?"
On the other end of the phone, a Swedish friend said: "No, no, this rehabilitation practitioner is indeed a real person, and he did make Helheim recover. It's just that I made some mistakes. This rehabilitation practitioner is indeed from Asia." , but he is not of Indian origin, but of Chinese origin. I just confirmed this, so I called you immediately."
"Chinese and Indian are both Asians, but their appearance and skin color are a little different. Is there any difference?" Iris asked with some confusion.
"The way Chinese people write their names is different from ours. Their surname is at the front and their first name is at the back. In other words, 'Day' is not his surname, but his first name." The Swede said.
"Well, you've found another difference." Iris' tone was full of complaints. He didn't expect his Swedish friend to be so serious.
"Iris, listen to me. The reason why I say this is because the order of the names made me make a mistake. The last name of this rehabilitation practitioner is 'LI-Li', which is a word in the East. A very common last name, not Lithium as I said. So I got his last name wrong," the Swede continued.
"So that's it, I asked how could someone call such a strange name." Iris continued: "But there should be a big difference between this 'Li' and Lithium, right?"
"Yeah, so I made a stupid mistake. You know, I loved chemistry since I was a kid. I could recite the periodic table of chemical elements by heart when I was twelve years old, so when I saw 'Li', I subconsciously Think of it as the abbreviation of the metallic element Lithium..." the Swede explained carefully.
"Uh, that's okay..." Aris was speechless for a moment. He couldn't understand at all that someone would make such an unknown mistake.
Lithium is the English word for the metal element "lithium", and the symbol of "lithium" in the periodic table of chemical elements is also "Li". The pronunciation in Chinese is the homophone "Li", but Westerners naturally do not call "lithium" is "Li", they will call it the complete word "Lithium". For example, the English word for "lithium battery" is "lithium-battery" instead of "Li-battery".
During the phone call, the Swedish friend continued: "I made a mistake in the name of the rehabilitation therapist. This will definitely cause trouble for you to find someone. I'm really sorry, so I called you to correct my name." Wrong, that healer’s name is not Lithium-Day, but li-day!”
"Li-day?" Iris repeated the name. He found that the name was so familiar, as if he had just heard it.
"No, I just heard this name. That's the name of the Chinese coach who came here just now! That rehabilitation therapist, could it be him!" Iris's face suddenly changed. He recalled what he had just said with him. The situation of Li Dai’s dialogue.
"When I mentioned the rehabilitation of Car King Helheim, Coach Li's expression was obviously unnatural. He also reminded me many times and asked me to inquire carefully. It turns out that's the case. It turns out that he is the rehabilitation teacher!" Aris suddenly had a row of regretful heads.
"Oops, I missed something." Iris couldn't help shouting.
…
One day later, Dai Li met the legendary boxing coach "White Devil" Iris again, but this time it was not at Iris's villa, but at Dai Li's training center.
"So, your Swedish friend got my name wrong?" Dai Li couldn't help laughing after learning the cause and effect.
Sweden is the country that likes to read the most in the world, and the Swedish people are also the most knowledgeable in the world.
Sweden is located near the Arctic Circle. Every winter, there are only a few hours of dawn a day. In addition, the climate is relatively cold, so after dark, Swedes will choose to stay at home and gather around the warm stove. fire.
Sweden in the Viking age became rich by plundering the entire Europe, and then established its own industrial system in the wave of the European Industrial Revolution. More than two hundred years of old-style capitalist development have made Sweden a country with high welfare, and the people You can live a good life without working too many hours. Therefore, Swedes work short hours, but they are still a highly developed country.
Staying at home after dark is also a very boring thing. In the past, when the entertainment industry was not very developed, there were no TVs, computers, mobile phones, TV series, entertainment programs and games, so Swedes could only rely on reading to keep themselves busy. It was so boring that Swedes developed a habit of reading.
If you read more books, your knowledge will naturally be enriched and your knowledge will become broader. But sometimes too much knowledge is not a good thing. People who know more think more. For example, this Swedish friend saw "Li" and it reminded him of the metal lithium element. If you were someone who knew little about chemistry and didn't even know the chemical abbreviation for hydrogen, helium, lithium, beryllium, and boron, you would definitely not have this association.
When foreigners read Chinese, their pronunciation is naturally not very standard. Dai Li has discovered before that Americans often pronounce his word "Dai" as the pronunciation of "day". Instead, it is the pronunciation of Li, because there are English The surname is "Lee", so it is not easy to pronounce it wrongly, so Dai Li has long been accustomed to Americans calling himself "Li-day".
"This Swedish guy can make such a mistake. It seems that he has too much knowledge, and sometimes it can be harmful to others!" Dai Li sighed lightly, then he turned his head and looked at Iris: "Aris Mr. Si, Helheim did recover under my training. In addition to him, there were also several other patients with varying degrees of paralysis who recovered to the extent of freedom of movement under my rehabilitation training. "
Aris suddenly looked happy, and then looked at Dai Li with an earnest look.
However, Dai Li changed his tone and said, "But Mr. Iris, I'm afraid I can't help your wife with rehabilitation training now."
"I'll pay you whatever you want!" Iris said eagerly.
"This is not a matter of money, but a matter of time. I don't have that much time." Li Dai shook his head, and then continued: "You have also seen that I run such a large physical training center. There are a lot of things to do on a daily basis. And I have to personally be responsible for the training of Kevin Taylor. Kevin is now my signature athlete here, and I am counting on Kevin to bring me some advertising effects!"
How could Iris not understand what Li Dai meant? Li Dai was changing the price in order to make him responsible for Taylor's training.
This is Jiang Taigong fishing. Although the hook has not been put into the water at all, Iris has to be willing to take the bait.
"Kevin Taylor's training can be left to me, so you can save some time." Iris said without hesitation.
"But you have promised Hopkins before, so there is no problem, right?" Dai Li asked.
"No problem, I can reject him again." Iris said immediately.
"It's impossible for Taylor to advance your salary for a year. He doesn't have that much money." Li Dai smiled and then said, "But you can offset it with the cost of rehabilitation training."
"Coach Li, did you agree? Did you agree to help my wife with rehabilitation training?" Iris heard the implication of Dai Li's words, and his voice became urgent because of his excitement.
Dai Li smiled and nodded, making a hug gesture: "Coach Iris, welcome to my training center!"
