Chapter 401: What Do You Want to Do?
"Ark and your mother didn't discuss it in advance, it was me who discussed it with your mother in advance. Fang still interjected with a smile, "Since you attended the FBI's official press conference, I have received a lot of invitations from the United States to perform, including TV shows and commercial performances, but I haven't had time to tell you yet." Just now, when I learned about the company's operation with the proprietress, I mentioned it to the proprietress in passing. Whether it is work or life, the communication between Fang and Xiao Yao has long been accustomed to being simple and direct.
"According to your temperament, most of you are not very interested in these jobs, right?" Ye Jiaying also said with a smile, "I just took advantage of the situation to stimulate you, I want you to take a few jobs while the topic is high now, and improve your popularity as an entertainment star in the United States, but I didn't expect Mr. Robinson to prepare a small performance for you here." Ye Jiaying was also very clear about Xiao Yao's character and the speed of his brain, so he didn't hide his purpose.
When Xiao Yao was seen on the stage of the Oscars during his international exchange studies, Ye Jiaying was still a little worried that Xiao Yao would stay in the United States to develop and not return to China, but now Xiao Yao is studying in Huaxia, and judging from his performance in the past few years, he will definitely not put his career center abroad. Since there is no concern that Xiao Yao will stay away from him and move to live abroad, Ye Jiaying also considers Xiao Yao's international development more carefully.
"Speaking of which, you've released three pure music albums, two song albums have the amount of other people's three albums, plus the songs you wrote for others, and the music you have created has exceeded three digits, which is long enough for concerts or concerts. "It's a great choice to put your first concert in Nashville." β
"You all say that, it seems that it is difficult for me not to say it. Xiao Yao shook his head with a smile, turned his head to look at Ake Robinson and asked, "Ake, how long did you say it would take to prepare a small concert?"
"If you just contact the venue, maybe two days, at most three days. Seeing that Xiao Yao seemed to be moved, Ake Robinson happily introduced, "Of course, the premise is that your recitals are all soloists, and you don't need other musicians or rehearsals. If you need other musicians to cooperate, it depends on the progress of your rehearsals with other musicians. But I'm sure you're musical, and a week should be about the same. β
"Two or three days is fine, but if all the repertoire is solo on hand discs, this is too dry," Xiao Yao frowned, "but a week is a little too long." We were only scheduled to be in Nashville for two days, and we have to go to Los Angeles later!"
"You can go to Los Angeles and then go back to Nashville for a recital. Ake Robinson suggested. He was also in New York two days ago, and knew that Xiao Yao had agreed to go to Los Angeles and Calabasas to see friends.
"What about rehearsals with other musicians? It's impossible to bring those musicians to Los Angeles to rehearse, right?" Xiao Yao shook his head, "After coming back from Los Angeles, it will take another week to rehearse with the musicians? It's been too long, we can't stay that long in the United States!"
"Yes!" Hearing Xiao Yao say this, Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying couldn't help but nod.
Although Xiao Siqi and Ye Jiaying have pushed a lot of work because of Xiao Yao's affairs, they can't leave the Huaxia Studio to stay in the United States indefinitely. One week is about the longest they can stay in the United States. Although Xiao Yao promised the FBI to stay in the United States for a while longer, and extended the vacation with the school, it is also not possible to look forward to the United States infinitely, and a week is almost the limit of Xiao Yao.
"Let's forget about the concert. Xiao Yao said to Ake Robinson, "I will take one of the second-generation hand-discs, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will do some more promotion and publicity work." β
Although Xiao Yao is the youngest of everyone, he is the one with the biggest idea. As soon as he said this, he made a decision on this matter, and everyone didn't continue to talk about it.
In the next two days, Xiao Yao and the others relaxed and just played in Nashville. Nashville is the music mecca of the United States, with many unique musical performances. Xiao Yao and Xiao Yao are two professional musicians, Ye Jiaying has released a music album, Fang is still with Pei Minyi and Xiao Yao for a long time, no one knows anything about music, and everyone has a very happy and enjoyable two-day journey in Nashville.
Two days later, Xiao Yao and his entourage said goodbye to Ake Robinson and boarded the plane to Los Angeles with a new second-generation hand disk.
Xiao Yao has a company in Nashville, and there is nothing embarrassing to let partners and company employees pick up the airport, but when he goes to Los Angeles, Xiao Yao is not embarrassed to ask Mrs. Smith to come to Los Angeles from Calabasas to pick up the airport.
After coming out of Los Angeles International Airport, Xiao Yao rented a seven-seater business van from a car rental company near the airport, took his parents, Fang Yiyi, and Pei Minyi to drive to Calabasas.
When everyone arrived in Calabasas and knocked on the door of Smith's house, Mrs. Smith, who had received the news a day earlier, immediately greeted her warmly. It happened to be the weekend, and not only did Sarmien and Dean return home from college, but little Irene didn't have to go to school and stayed at home, and even Mike and George were waiting at Smith's house. "Immortals" is already a very famous band, and the two members of the Smith family, Sarmien and Dean, now earn a lot of money, but the living conditions of the Smith family have not changed much, it is still the two-and-a-half-story single-family house, and after these dozen or so people come in, it immediately makes people feel crowded.
After some introductions and greetings, Xiao Yao took his parents to see the room where he had lived, and the people in the house were divided into two groups. Xiao Siqi, Ye Jiaying and Mrs. Smith went downstairs to the living room to chat, and several young people crowded into the attic room where Xiao Yao once lived.
According to age, Fang Yi, Pei Minyi and Xiao Erin should be with Xiao Yao and the others, but Dean asked the three of them to accompany Mrs. Smith and Xiao Yao's parents in the living room downstairs on the grounds that the band members had something to discuss. Of course, the other party is still invited to Pei Minyi, and the strongly opposed little Erin is directly opened!
"Jan, will you always be with your parents during your time in the United States?" After discussing Xiao Yao's kidnapping case a few days ago, Dean asked Xiao Yao, "I know that you have a good relationship with your parents, but in the United States, people who are still with their parents all day long after adulthood will be looked down upon!"
"Dean!" Sarmien frowned and looked at Dean, "What are you talking about?
"It doesn't matter, who is with whom, don't care about that. Xiao Yao smiled and waved his hand, and then said to Dean, "I have been traveling with my parents for a few days, and I have not been with them all the time. If you've been to China, you should know that my parents live in Yanjing, China, and I studied in Shencheng, China, and the distance between the two cities is much farther than Los Angeles and Calabasas. I don't live with my parents, and I don't plan to live with them after graduation, I'm not a mom!"
"No, I'm not trying to say that, I know all of that. Dean shook his head and said, "I mean, are you going to be with your parents all the time during your time in the United States?"
"What do you want to do?" Xiao Yao heard some different tastes, and said with interest, "Is there anything fun that is inconvenient for parents to know?"
"You're really so smart, you guessed it at once!" Dean smiled and patted Xiao Yao's shoulder and said, "Our university fraternity will have an event in two days, and I would like to invite you to join us." β
"I'm not from your school, let alone a member of the fraternity, is it appropriate for me to go?" Xiao Yao asked strangely.
Xiao Yao has also heard of the culture of fraternities and sororities in American universities. Xiao Yao would definitely not consider things like joining the club, of course, his identity can't join, but it's a very interesting thing to see.
"It's a party that our fraternity organizes, and you can bring your friends to it in addition to the fraternity members," Dean said, "and college students in the U.S. are having a crazy time, and there might be something that parents don't want to see." These things are exciting, and you've just experienced a thrilling kidnapping that is just in time for you to indulge. But I don't know if your parents will be able to accept you going to this kind of party, so it's best not to tell your parents and go with me quietly. That's why I ask if you need to be with your parents all day. β
"What parents don't want to see, alcohol, marijuana, hot girls?" Xiao Yao looked at Dean with a smile and said, "Dean, you have changed a lot in the past two years, why didn't I see it when I went to Huaxia last time?"
"Dean, are you crazy? What do you want to do?" Sarmien said glaring at Dean.
"Yang has already experienced the high Chinese of the United States, and I just want to take him to experience the American university culture." Dean shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "Alcohol? Huaxia has no legal age, and Yang invited us to drink Huaxia wine the last time we went to Huaxia." Marijuana? Once or twice once in a while, it's not addictive, and now more and more states are legalizing marijuana smoking. β
"And the girls? As long as it's something you want me to do, what's not to do? Jan is so handsome, talented, and a hero who has caught robbers, those girls will definitely pounce when they see him, and I also give Jan a chance to feel the enthusiasm of American girls. Dean tilted his head and glanced at Sarmyon and said, "Let Jan know that American girls aren't all cold like you!"
"Dean Smith!" Sarmeon angrily called out Dean's full name, "I think you owe a beating!
"You know he has a girlfriend!" Dean sighed inwardly, "but if I don't do this, where will you iceberg-like stupid sister have a chance?"
"Jan has a girlfriend," Dean said as he looked at Samion, "but his girlfriend is Tiana, not you! Tiana isn't here now! Are you going to tell Tiana about this?"
"You~" Sarmien stood up abruptly and said fiercely to Dean, "You're a bastard!"
"Don't get excited!" Xiao Yao reached out and pulled Lasamien, motioned for her to sit down, and then stared at Dean with interest for a while.
"Jan?" Dean was a little puzzled by Xiao Yao's eyes, and couldn't help but speak.
"Dean, Sammy said that you owe a beating, not that she wants to beat you, but that I want to beat you!" Xiao Yao smiled and raised a fist and said, "Don't think that if you are my friend, I won't beat you! I have a friend who grew up with me and was beaten all the way by me." β
"What?" the surprise in Dean's eyes flickered, and then he waved his hand pretending to be indifferent, "Come on, Jan! Who doesn't like hot girls? Don't tell me you're not a mom, but you're a guy who's scared of your girlfriend!
"Mike, George, why don't you speak?" Xiao Yao suddenly looked at Mike and George next to him.
"Huh?" Mike and George, who had been silent since Dean mentioned the matter of the Brotherhood, did not expect Xiao Yao to suddenly ask him, and seemed to be startled.
"Your relationship is so good, and you are in the same university, since Dean has joined the fraternity in the university, you two should also join the same fraternity as him, right?" Xiao Yao continued to ask the two.
"Ah~yes!" nodded the two of them in discord.
"Really?" Xiao Yao looked at the two of them with a smile on the corner of his mouth and said, "Then let me ask you, have you really joined the brotherhood of the university? What is the name of the brotherhood? What is the name of your house? How many members are there in total? What torture did you suffer when you joined the association last year?"
"Our brotherhood isβ" Dean said anxiously.
"Shut up!" Xiao Yao glared at Dean and said, "I want to hear from both of them." β
"Well," Mike said hesitantly first, "our brotherhood is called..."
Mike looked a little weak when he spoke, and under Xiao Yao's smiling eyes, he quickly became nervous, and the longer he paused, the more stumbling he became.
In this case, a discerning person can tell at a glance that he is lying.
"That's enough!" Dean couldn't help but interrupt Mike, "There's no fraternity at all, it's me going to find someone to organize a party where alcohol and marijuana are put down." β
"And then, what do you want to do?" Xiao Yao continued to ask as he looked at Dean.
