Chapter 218: Funeral
"Doesn't the old man have no relatives?"
At the old man's funeral, Wang gradually looked at several young people with slight disabilities, who were speaking on the stage.
"Mr. John was an esteemed mentor who taught us how to truly face life. ”
"Wang, I always feel that these young people are a little weird, and when they see your expression, it is very similar to the police examining the prisoners. ”
Tom, who accompanied Wang gradually to the funeral, whispered to him: "Look at these people behind you, it's your normal reaction to see you." ”
Wang gradually glanced back, and saw many people smiling at him, and some people were even eager to come and talk to him.
He quickly turned his head away and continued to look at the stage.
just sighed in his heart: "The old man's popularity really doesn't seem to be very good." ”
When Wang gradually used the old man's address book to invite these old man's former colleagues and friends, the first reaction of these people was to pretend not to know each other.
It wasn't until someone curiously asked who Wang gradually was, and after Wang gradually introduced himself, these people called again and informed them that they would come to the funeral.
Moreover, after these people came to the funeral, they were most concerned not about the old man, but about themselves.
Even just now, when the old man's body was being viewed according to the ritual, some people glanced in the direction of the king while turning in a circle.
"Do you know, Wang?" Lily's eyes began to redden, "I was very scared when I first became a sign-in officer. ”
"I'm afraid of coming into contact with the prisoners, and I'm even more afraid that the prisoners will hurt me. ”
"It was Mr. John's encouragement that made me truly a sign-in officer. ”
Wang gradually patted Lily's hand gently, "It's okay. ”
"The old man is such a kind person, he will definitely go to heaven. ”
Next, I would like to invite Mr. Wang Jian, a well-known best-selling author, to deliver a speech for Mr. John Kramer. ”
Wang gradually took out a piece of paper from his jacket pocket and slowly walked to the stage.
At this time, the people in the audience, who were originally careless, instantly focused their attention on Wang Yan.
Someone even pulled out their cameras.
It wasn't until Wang gradually frowned and glared at the other party fiercely that the man took the camera back.
"Because of Mr. John Kramer's encouragement, I am where I am today, and he is really my life coach. ”
As he spoke, Wang gradually looked down the stage.
I saw that the young men, who also called the old man their mentor, began to look at themselves with meaningful eyes.
"Fuck, it's like a cop. The king gradually muttered to himself in his heart.
"No, after the frequent broadcast of his own images on TV, even the police officers respected him and even asked for autographs. ”
"That's the main reason why I want to move out of my apartment and buy a property. ”
"And these people are like police dogs. There's nothing wrong with you, do you?"
Wang gradually became uncomfortable with the staring of these people, so he hurriedly diverted his attention.
"When I wrote my first book, I Am the Archmage, Mr. John Kramer gave me a lot of encouragement. ”
Well?
Why did Tom pick up the phone and leave in a hurry?
Don't you know that this is very rude?
When Wang gradually finished his speech and walked off the stage, he found that a young girl had already taken Tom's place.
"Mr. Wang, I'm your book lover, can you sign for me?"
Then, Wang gradually saw the other party, took out a physical version of the "Arcane Divine Seat" and handed it over.
"It's a funeral!" he cursed in his heart, but took the book and signed his name.
"This is my phone number," the girl said, taking the book and handing over another note, "I'll have time at any time." ”
Then, she bent down and quickly left Wang Yan and sat back in the position she had just placed.
Wang gradually frowned and looked in that direction, only to see that the girl had come with her parents.
His mother noticed Wang's gaze and smiled at him.
The father, on the other hand, made a look of glare.
"What are you doing with me, you are also a middle-class family, can't you see that your daughter doesn't know how to be polite?"
Wang gradually tore off the note casually, and muttered in his mouth: "What are you doing, filming "Four Weddings and One Funeral"!"
At this moment, Tom hurried back and whispered in Wang's ear.
"Wang, there is an emergency. We have to leave. ”
Well?
Wang gradually turned his head to look at the eager crowd around him, then at Tom, and nodded.
You really have to leave, otherwise the old man's funeral will be chaotic.
As for not being able to watch the old man be buried, Wang gradually sighed.
"After that, buy a bouquet of flowers and pay your respects. ”
He patted Lily on the shoulder and made a phone call.
Lily was stunned for a moment, then looked around again, and nodded.
Watching Wang gradually leave, the people at the funeral let out a small noise.
But fortunately, most of them are middle-class families, and basic education prompts them not to behave too rudely.
After getting into the car, Wang gradually looked at Tom, "Thank you for helping me out of the siege, otherwise the funeral will definitely be disrupted." ”
"Breaking the siege?" Tom was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "I'm not breaking the siege, I'm really about something!"
Well?
Wang gradually looked at the other party suspiciously, "What happened?
"Wang, NBC published your feature in one of their hottest news documentary columns. ”
News coverage?
Wang Yan, who was already tired from his frequent appearances on TV, nodded carelessly.
"That video has been on for a long time, it's not new, and it's not going to make a splash anymore. ”
"No," Tom said with a serious expression, "this is not the previous video. ”
"In this video, there are your former roommates, people who participated in social work together, and even your childhood friends. ”
This...
In Wang Yan's mind, he instantly remembered what Lily had said.
NBC had sent reporters to interview her, but Lily refused to be interviewed.
What does NBC want to do?
Wang Jian's spirit immediately forcibly broke free from the atmosphere of the funeral.
"What exactly are the reports, and what are their tendencies?"
"It's not clear yet. Tom shook his head and continued: "In their reporting, they don't talk about your work, they only talk about your wealth. ”
"And let the people who know you come to expose your former life. ”
Tom hesitated, but then spoke: "Although we don't know what the purpose of NBC is, we must be prepared." ”
He added with a serious expression: "The main director of this show is called Bob Woodward. ”
"He is very good at guiding the tendencies of public opinion. ”
"How good are you?" asked Wang gradually curiously.
"Wang, have you heard of the Watergate scandal?"
