Eek, the door to the conference room at the Marriott Hotel in Century City, Los Angeles, swung open, the sound of footsteps absorbed by the wine-red carpet, completely silent.
A gentleman was coming forward, and despite Los Angeles's relentless summer in September, he was still impeccably dressed in a full three-piece suit, and his sparsely haired crown was neatly groomed—details that showed he was serious about the occasion.
Upon his entrance, the gentleman bypassed Donald, looking earnestly and warmly at Li Wei, opening the conversation with a bit of light humor.
Li Wei didn't catch on at first, following the gentleman's gaze, he then saw the billboard erected atop the skyscrapers of Century City—
"Los Angeles Chargers VS Kansas City Chiefs."
But importantly, what should have been a promotional poster for both teams now only featured Li Wei without any Chargers player.
Upon reflection, this wasn't surprising.
