Chapter 159 Howard University

"Hayden, I feel like I need to hire bodyguards, professional ones with gun qualifications.{щww{suimеng][com}"

Watching Derry and Snoop Dogg leaving behind, Song Ya deeply understands the nature of the high-risk industry in the rap industry. The brothers hired gunmen to fight each other behind their backs. Little Lowry was shot in the street. This is simply playing music with his life. !

He found Hayden immediately, "Delay and Al are already famous, so it's not suitable for them to be his followers."

"I warned you earlier, you can't always expect to pick people from the relationships around you. Which of the African-American friends you know can get security qualifications? Don't let them carry guns. They are unable to fight back when they are in danger. Bring a gun. , they themselves are ticking time bombs.”

Hayden picked up the phone naggingly, "Hollywood has a very professional security company that serves stars, and we have cooperated with William Morris for many years."

He called Donovan, "It's done. When you arrive in Los Angeles, Donovan will arrange a time for an interview. You can decide whether to hire him or not after you see if you are satisfied."

"Can."

Song Ya knew that the annual salaries of those professional bodyguards were not low, but nothing was important. As a time traveler, he was just getting started! "What's next for the itinerary?" he asked Hayden.

"Go to Washington tomorrow, donate to Howard University during the day, this is part of the publicity plan, and Congressman Underwood will also go. In the evening, he will go to the commercial show, on a banquet yacht. Back to Chicago the day after tomorrow to promote, and by the way, see Goodman's new Partner, went to Sunnyvale, Silicon Valley on the 11th, held a meeting with Reese and discussed the purchase of the factory building and land, went to Los Angeles to meet Mira that night, and went to Compton on the 12th to attend the premiere of Escube’s film Block Boys. Screening." Hayden looked at the schedule: "Well...the premiere is at night, so the bodyguard interview can be arranged during the day."

"Huh, the schedule is really fast." Song Ya sighed.

"This shouldn't be the job of an agent." Hayden complained: "If you don't hire a manager, you have to hire an assistant, so that I can get rid of these trivial things."

"Recruiting, recruiting, recruiting, isn't it just spending money." Song Ya had no choice but to appease him.

The next day, Song Ya and Hayden arrived in Washington and walked into the auditorium of Howard University.

This university belongs to the so-called traditional black university. It was used to admit black students during the era of apartheid. After the affirmative action, Americans were embarrassed to let such schools change the admissions rules. In the Higher Education Act, African Americans are specially allowed in the enrollment. Students are given priority, so 90% of its students are still black, and a reverse discrimination admissions wall has been erected in a grand manner.

certainly,

The general education quality of this kind of university is not very good. Howard University can be regarded as the general among dwarfs. The school has produced many celebrities, such as... the current mayor of New York, the black boss of the donkey party, David Dinkins, if it is not because of him , Underwood will not come, and Song Ya will not choose this school to donate. Although black stars usually donate some money to such traditional black schools after they get rich, it is very particular about which school to donate to. of.

"long ti no see, big star." Meeting again, Underwood and Song Ya joked affectionately.

"Hello, Mr. Underwood."

The two were already considered 'old friends', and before the donation ceremony started, the two went to a remote place to chat alone.

"I would like to thank you and Claire for your help. In the case in South Africa, it seems that the lady will be acquitted." Song Ya thanked him first.

Underwood waved his hand casually, "There's nothing to thank, isn't that what Claire is busy with all day?" He smiled and asked, "Have you lived in New York for a long time? I read the news that you are in New York bought a house."

"Almost, there is no way, I have to go there to record records often." Song Ya replied.

"How is the law and order in New York?" Underwood looked around to confirm that no one nearby heard the conversation between the two, "I mean, do you feel that it is indeed deteriorating rapidly like Chicago as shown by the data? "

"Chicago is definitely deteriorating. As for New York..." Song Ya, as a star, has become more and more divorced from the life of the city. He can only say something he has seen with his own eyes. "It should also be deteriorating. At night, there are videotape sellers and warblers everywhere."

"Dingkins is not having a good time, is he?" Underwood said: "I heard that he is under a lot of pressure and his re-election is in danger."

"I don't know about that." Dingkins' term of office will end in 1993, and the re-election campaign is still very early. Except for professional politicians like Underwood, who would care.

Underwood paced a few steps in deep thought, "Will Little Lowry's case affect you?" He asked suddenly.

"No, people from the FBI came to see me once, but I haven't had much contact with Little Lowry for a long time." To the federal congressman, Song Ya will not play tricks to hide anything.

"This is very good, it's a pity for Lowry, and his previous image was not bad." Underwood said.

At this time, the school staff came to remind the ceremony that it was about to begin.

Basically, these kinds of activities are similar. There are more audiences than the previous bi membership, and the scene is just bigger. After the high-level speech of the school, Song Ya came on stage and sent a check and donation documents for 100,000 dollars to The other party was holding the other corner of the check, and the two kept exchanging positions, allowing the reporter to take pictures.

"Ladies and gentlemen..." Then Song Ya was left on the podium, he took out the prepared speech and read it, still the same, Daniel's integral theory, "This school is a treasure for African-Americans, I'm proud of her for producing a great African-American woman writer, Toni Morrison, the first African-American New York Mayor, David Dinkins, the first African-American congressman . . .

"I have also worked fruitfully for the school for many years..."

"Then I have to thank my old friend in Chicago, Federal Congressman Mr. Underwood, who is currently participating in the drafting of the new education bill that will bring more help to traditional African-American universities..."

As a federal congressman from the Chicago constituency, if Underwood hadn't borrowed the new education bill he participated in and Song Ya's donation, it would generally be really difficult to attend events on the university campus in Washington.

"Thank you everyone." Accompanied by warm applause, he took a donation document expressing gratitude from a black female student representative, "The following is Congressman Underwood..."

"Sixteen ah?" After the event, Congressman Underwood happily squeezed Song Ya's shoulder, "Keep working hard and stay away from the gang, you have a bright future."

Song Ya responded modestly.

In the evening, he met Hayden, Delay, and Al, arrived at the seaside dozens of kilometers away, and boarded a yacht moored there.

This is a high-end dinner hosted by a lobbyist group, usually attended by political and business celebrities, so rap music is not suitable, his three songs i feel it og, feel it still and trumpet are more suitable for this occasion.

"aps!?"

In the dressing room, preparing to go on stage, a black girl boldly poked her head at the door and asked.

Al hurried to the door and stopped her.

"You are?" Song Ya didn't know this twenty-year-old girl with big eyes, round face and heavy makeup, um... she looks average, not her favorite type.

"We met during the day, at your donation ceremony." The girl stood up straight and made a gesture of holding documents.

"Oh!" Song Ya remembered that this girl was the student representative of Howard University who was holding the document to her.

"Can you?" The girl pointed to the dressing room.

"Let him in, Al." Song Ya knew that girls who did that kind of work were generally excellent in school and academics, but she didn't expect to appear on such an occasion at night, and she was very revealingly dressed, "You are here For what?" he asked.

"Part-time resident singer and dancer, you can do everything on this ship for college tuition." The girl slipped in happily, and stood in front of Song Ya generously, "I'm still a part-time clerk in the Pentagon."

"Wow, then you really worked hard." Song Ya sighed, "Can you handle it?"

"Yeah, no problem."

The girl spoke with a hoarse smoky voice, and smiled contagiously, "My name is Taraji Hansen, nice to meet you aps."
