"My business with the Giants hasn't been officially announced yet," Li Wei said after a moment's thought. "How did Chairman Lin find out?"
"I have quite a few friends," Lin Daohang explained. "A Chinese contractor who did the insulation on the facade of the Giants' training center heard a rumor."
Li Wei hadn't expected that.
"In that case," Li Wei nodded, "what would you like me to do?"
He wasn't a saint; just because some Chinese person he had just met came asking for help didn't mean he was obligated to give it.
Although for Li Wei, putting in a word with Holmes or making a public statement wouldn't be too difficult.
'He could guess what Lin Daohang wanted him to do. After signing with the Giants, he'd be expected to voice his support for the cause in an interview or at a public event.'
'But he knew that his public statements now carried weight. He'd realized that back at the All-American Bowl.'
