Griffin Ward was the first friend Lu Yiqi made in a foreign country and the first real white friend.

The two of them didn't know each other at the beginning, and they were both in the rugby team. Lu Yiqi tried to play the tight end, while Griffin played as a cornerback.

At the beginning, Lu Yiqi knew nothing about rugby, only knew that he was rushing forward like a bull, running around without rules and irregularity.

Such nonsense, unorganized, and messy running methods made Griffin, who was defending against the side, annoyed. After a violent rush to the ground, the two young men fought together and attacked the other side fiercely. The scene of mud and blood intertwined was terrible.

When they grew up, they always argued about who took the initiative, who was the one who had the upper hand, and who was even more embarrassed. However, the memories of the two of them seemed to be inaccurate. They always insisted that they were the winner, and they kept talking nonstop, and no one allowed anyone to let anyone go. However, that fight made the two teenagers friends.

It was thanks to Griffin's threading needle that Lu Yiqi was able to quickly break the deadlock, integrate into the team smoothly, and start his adaptable life in North America. Without Griffin's help, Lu Yiqi might still be able to adapt, but things would not be so easy.

From elementary school to middle school, Lu Yiqi and Griffin accompanied each other for ten years, and the places they lived were only three blocks apart. Time did not make them gradually drift away. On the contrary, friendship gradually became deeper and more relaxed. However, facing the intersection of college entrance examinations, they had differences.

Griffin had already cut off his rugby thoughts early on, the competition in cornerback positions became increasingly fierce, and the living space of white cornerbacks was getting smaller and smaller.

However, Lu Yiqi is stubborn and always tries to hold on for a while. Of course, Lu Yiqi is indeed more competitive in the tight end position.

After the university application was completed, Griffin and Lu Yiqi both received admission notices from Yale University, but Lu Yiqi finally chose Michigan State University, which was willing to give him a chance, while Griffin gave up Stanford and went to Yale University-

Originally, they agreed to go to Yale University together, Lu Yiqi fought for his rugby dream, while Griffin fought for his Wall Street dream, but he did not expect to go on a different path.

Because of this, Griffin and Lu Yiqi fought again, both angry, disappointed and unwilling. Finally, Griffin turned around and left angrily, refusing to forgive Lu Yiqi.

After college, the colorful daily life always keeps students busy. The differences between different cities and time zones have made each other's lives gradually fade away. Lu Yiqi took the initiative to contact Griffin, and Griffin finally calmed down and forgave his friends, but the contact was still gradually reduced.

Over time, friends who "Jiaowangwang, Mengwangwangwangwang" returned to their ordinary friends.

If there is no accident, they will be like adults who are often in the world, and they will build their own new life circle because of work and life. The friends they used to be scattered around the world and may even never contact each other again. In the end, they will gradually fade away and just sealed in the corners of the deep memory.

In his last life, Lu Yiqi returned to New York after graduating from university, joined the newspaper and became a young reporter, and started his social life without touching the ground.

Although both of them lived in Manhattan, New York, they never met until the financial crisis in 2008 hit Griffin hard. Lu Yiqi met Griffin unexpectedly when he returned to his parents' home one time. After two bottles of beer were eaten, the words were opened and the friendship bridge was maintained again.

Since then, Lu Yiqi and Griffin have been in contact often and occasionally come out to drink and chat together on weekends. Later, when Lu Yiqi got married, Griffin was his best man - but Griffin has never been married, and he has never lacked the company of women around him. Unfortunately, no one can keep the heart of this romantic son.

After the tsunami of the financial crisis, Griffin returned to Wall Street and gained a foothold again. He soon earned his first million US dollars again, and there was a second and third one. However, Wall Street's cruelty and cold blood have never changed. After experiencing the financial crisis, not only did not restrain themselves, but also became even more cruel. As one of them, Griffin suffered a heavy blow for the second time.

In 2013, SAC-Capital-Advisors broke out an inside trading scandal, which is the hedge fund with the highest return on investment in the past two decades. The amount involved in this inside transaction was as high as $3 billion, causing a sensation on Wall Street.

Griffin was also involved.

Griffin even accepted internal investigations and inquiries from the CSRC and the FBI, and was once in prison. Later, he was proven to be innocent, but despite this, he was a little discouraged.

Griffin never told Lu Yiqi the truth, but he could detect it in just a few words that he still believed in others too much, and he still insisted on believing in human nature, which made him involved in this scandal; however, Wall Street did not believe it, and his weaknesses destined him not to belong here.

The heavy blow made Griffin choose to turn around and leave, head to Florida, where he joined a real estate agency and became an ordinary real estate manager. He did not make much money, but he was not poor. He called Lu Yiqi on vacation every year.

Until Lu Yiqi returned to college, Griffin never returned to New York.

In this life, Lu Yiqi dreamed of returning to his freshman year and threw himself on the football with all his heart, even more than that; but the vicissitudes and wisdom of being a human being in the past two lives are still different.

In his freshman year, Lu Yiqi took the initiative to call Griffin to apologize, communicated sincerely, and expressed his belief and persistence in football.

Putting one's heart in mind is like Griffin's obsession with numbers and finance, Lu Yiqi also has his own beliefs, "This is also the reason why we become friends."

Faced with the words of his friends, Griffin could only surrender, "When talking about debate eloquence, I admit defeat. What else can I do if I don't like it? Who made you my friend?"

Lu Yiqi did not persuade Griffin to leave Wall Street to avoid being injured, because he knew Griffin's mood, and he was now walking on a thorny road.

Over the years, Lu Yiqi and Griffin have worked hard on their dream path, occasionally contacting each other and encouraging each other.

Until today.

Lu Yiqi could not determine Griffin's current situation, but he still hoped to propose a choice to see if Griffin is willing to make a different attempt-

Selecting players with different potential through agents can be selected. In the eyes of outsiders, "eyes are like torches" to pretend to be a pig and eat tigers, but he needs an absolutely trustworthy friend to execute.
