Chapter 40 (1/2)
Dilai saw song Ya eating watermelon and couldn't help laughing. He quickly covered his mouth.
”You white man!”
Eric grabbed his collar again. ”You were pulling the side shelf, right?”
”Hey! Hey Delay quickly explained, ”I'm afraid you'll make trouble! Just now Robert and his lawyer will be in trouble! Believe me, Robert is an old hand. He used to use it against us. You know, white rock youth have bad temper
”Calm down! Eric. ” Song Ya also advised.
”You shouldn't have eaten that watermelon just now...” Eric sat back angrily.
”Er...” Song Ya embarrassed to throw the melon peel into the fruit plate, wipe his hands, ”I'll call first.”
He called Michelle first, ”er Dr. Michelle, I'd like to ask, what should I do if I'm given a watermelon by a white man? ”
Michelle agreed to help without thinking. After they finished chatting, song Ya put down the microphone and thought about it, and then dialed it to old Joe.
“Yo！ Dear aplus, I love you
Old Joe was so excited that he said, ”Hey! Where are we now? ” He asked the man at the other end, ”ha ha! Billboard single weekly list No. 11! The specific sales figures have not come out yet. I heard that SBK ordered one million pieces of goods! Why should there be hundreds of thousands of sales in the first week? Did you hear that? I and little Lori were invited to the scene on Saturday night. It was the scene on Saturday night... ”
Song Ya patiently listened to old Joe's boasting rap, and then told him about his side of the situation.
”No problem. I'll call my friends in New York. You wait!” Old Joe promised.
After waiting for about ten minutes, old Joe called back. This time, his voice became much heavier. ”Aplus, did you eliminate all the black girls in one audition?”
”Er...” Song Ya murmured, ”they don't conform to my style...”
”Hey! You shouldn't do that, even if you act like aplus, even if you show it to others! I went through the era of apartheid, when white people knew how to put some black Indians in the government. Now friends in New York have a lot of opinions about you. They think you are not your own. You should know that you are of mixed blood and your skin color is white. You should pay more attention to... ”
”I'm stupid.”
Song Ya can only admit his mistake, ”I didn't think so much at that time...”
”I don't have much energy in New York. You know the last time we ran into a wall in New York If we're in the south side of Chicago, we can kill that white guy and you can use the recording room of old Joe's music. Anyway, we've been running outside to promote... ” There was nothing old Joe could do.
Song Ya said thanks, Lisa knocked on the door and said, ”Daniel, let you go.”
At Daniel's office, Robert is there, sitting on the sofa smoking.
”Don't make trouble out of the blue these days. What did I say?”
Daniel was so angry that he kept pacing around the office. ”Now there are only three of us in this room, Robert. Apologize! Apologize to aplus. ”
”I didn't do anything.” Robert pretends to be innocent.
”No! Follow me! That's bullshit Daniel points to Robert and yells. He picks up the phone. ”Let dilly come up. Does he see everything?”
”OK, OK, OK, I was impulsive, but aplus's little attendant also scolded me as a white guy.” Robert is a little flustered.
Daniel was going mad. ”That's not the same thing! Robert, don't play tricks with me. We all know it's not the same thing at all
”Er In fact, I don't have to apologize. I don't necessarily accept it. ” Sonya said calmly, ”I've already called the equal rights group in Chicago. They will contact the organization in New York to ask about this. The protest fax should arrive soon.”
”Whoa, whoa, whoa, here comes the black thing! It's not enough to take advantage of it! ” Robert clapped his hands at Sonya in a fit of anger.
”My God!”
