After reading the so-called comment, Link always felt a little upset in his heart. He really didn't understand, did he steal the door panels of the widows of those people's houses, or did he do something immoral?

Although he didn't do anything that was beneficial to the Chinese, he didn't do anything that was unacceptable to the Chinese. He is also Chinese, and he didn't think that other Chinese Americans could provide him with any help. But he also didn't want someone to stab him in the back.

He was unhappy when he looked at such a report. But he can't show too much concern yet. Otherwise, it will only make more people aware of the comment.

He called Catherine: "What do you think that review is all about?" If it was aimed at Chinese readers, it was all in English, and the Los Angeles Metropolis Newspaper did not seem to be a Chinese newspaper. "What type of readers is it aimed at?"

Catherine knows a lot about her competitors in the media industry, and she thinks about it deeply: "Boss, although Forum Publishing Group is an English-language newspaper, its readership is all Americans. There are many Chinese journalists and commentators in the media under their group. These Chinese commentators, reporting from a Chinese perspective, can attract a lot of Chinese readers. Moreover, you also know that many young Chinese are better at English than Chinese. ”

Link had to agree with her. Many young Chinese do not know Chinese at all.

"In addition, I noticed that the media of the Forum Group have been talking about the solidarity of Chinese Americans for the past few months. They seem to be discussing Chinese leaders, or spiritual leaders. They always tout their bosses without looking for a trace. ”

"That's normal, isn't it? Maybe if they tout it well, they'll get a promotion and a raise. ”

"Haha, are you suggesting that the media company should tout you a little more?" Katherine laughed. She paused before continuing. "But I haven't seen any significant negative coverage of any other Chinese before. ”

"What do you think is the reason why they are targeting me?" and do you have any ways to deal with it?" said Catherine was his PR officer.

On the other end of the phone, Catherine's voice suddenly became serious: "Boss, I think you'd better not do anything now!"

"Why?"

"As I said earlier, the main readership of Metropolis Daily is still white. Do you think a white man would allow a tough guy to be the leader of a Chinese American?"

"There's no real leader in any ethnic group in the United States, right?"

Catherine said: "In the United States, many ethnic minorities have used gang leaders as their spiritual leaders! The same is true for Chinese, such as a gentleman surnamed Situ before. ”

"I'm not a gangster!"

"I didn't say you were. I'll just give you an example. Chinese and blacks and Latinos, who are more heavily represented, are not the same. You are smart, and there are a lot of Chinese students in the school who are good at studying. If you are given enough opportunities, it will be like a small tree in the primeval forest that has been sheltered suddenly into the sky, and it will easily grow into a towering tree quickly. That would have an impact on many vested interests. ”

"Is this flattering me?"

Catherine smiled and said, "Then can I get a promotion and a raise?"

"You can add a dollar a week. Maybe you can analyze it a little deeper. ”

"Yes. Although that has a bit of a conspiracy theory look. But I think that their report on you is not just trying to smear your image in the hearts of the Chinese. It's even more a reminder to white people that there is such a person as you in the Chinese community. Tough, smart, and super-rich Chinese. And they may be giving white people the impression that you are seeking to be the leader of the Chinese people. ”

This kind of conjecture really sounds like a conspiracy theory to Link. He groaned for a moment and said, "You mean they want the whites to come out against me?"

"That's a possibility that can't be ignored!" Although Catherine is white, she is now a stakeholder with Link, so it is certainly good for her that Link can become a Chinese leader. But she felt that now was not the time for Link to think about those things. "White people would never want to see Chinese Americans as a whole. ”

"There is a natural connection between the Chinese and the great powers of the East that have risen," she stressed. That's one reason, the other. America's elites do not want new competitors to emerge. The performance of the Chinese in other countries, I think they will all see it. ”

Link thought for a moment, the Chinese really weren't inferior. Even in a country like the United States, where there are already dominant ethnic groups, even if the Chinese were not as good as blacks for a period of time - although blacks were discriminated against during that time, they at least had American citizenship - but the Chinese, whose population is only one-eighth of the blacks, are now better off as blacks. This is progress made in the face of discrimination.

There are many scientists in the Chinese, a large number of businessmen, and outstanding people in various fields. There are also a large number of excellent young people. If the Chinese are given a fair chance, it will not be long before there will certainly be a place for the Chinese in the elite class of the United States.

He pondered for a long time before he said, "Well, I can't speak now." As soon as you say a rebuttal, you seem to have such ambitions?"

"Yes. I think so. ”

"However, if the situation as you say happens, my silence may not be the kind of trouble you say. ”

"I think their purpose is to get white people to notice you. Whether you open your mouth or not, their purpose has been achieved. But I think it could be worse if you ask. Of course, that's just my guess. Maybe the whites will be generous. ”

Link chuckled and said, "Thank you for your analysis." I'll keep quiet until things take a new turn. ”

What she said did smack of conspiracy theories. But it's not unreasonable.

The Chinese American ethnic group, the elite class in the United States, certainly does not want to see them as a whole. If that can't be stopped, don't want an unruly leader.

Although the so-called leader is at most on the surface. But in an unfair society, a strong person can become an idol for some young people. When an idol appears in a group, then the development of the group is difficult to estimate.

For example, Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" made a lot of trouble for black people?

After that, whites had to be politically correct and give blacks a more lenient environment. Blacks also dare to confront whites head-on.

Link may not be a strong man yet, nor a leader. But his previous performance was indeed a bit unruly.

If the unity of the Chinese cannot be stopped, the white elites will surely want a more moderate person to lead the Chinese. Preferably an obedient person.

Strangling the threat in the cradle is the safest.

If the purpose of that LA Metropolis review was to put him on the table. He really shouldn't have overreacted to it. He had better make white people feel like he had no connection to the Chinese.

He felt that even if the white elite became wary of him, before they could control it, they would at most compress his development space, or directly make his reputation stink. Rather than directly destroying him.

Although he could comfort himself, thinking about that possibility, he couldn't help but wonder: what would he do if it really got to that point.

Jessica was his pillow person, and he had something hidden in his heart, and she could easily detect it.

In bed, Link couldn't sleep for a while, and it was inevitable that there would be some movement.

Jessica opened her eyes and asked, "Do you have something on your mind?"

Link didn't want her to worry as well, so he said, "I'm thinking about winter wheat planting." ”

Jessica leaned over, put her arms around his waist, kissed him on the mouth, and said, "You're lying! ”

Link laughed and said, "Am I such an unprofessional man in your heart?"

Jessica giggled and said, "That's right. You are the kind of person in my heart who can be more successful than others without doing your job. She paused and said seriously. "Is that something you can't say?" she knew Link was hiding something from her. If it weren't for Link's insomnia, he wouldn't have said it this time, and she wouldn't have asked.

Link was silent for a moment, then voiced his concerns.

Jessica pursed her lips and thought for a moment, and said, "Catherine's analysis does make some sense. She thought for a moment and then said. "The conspiracy theories you mentioned remind me of another influential Chinese person. ”

"Who?"

"Bruce Lee. That Chinese kung fu superstar!"

"What does he have to do with him?"

According to Catherine's conspiracy theory, Bruce Lee is also a potential leader of the Chinese community, who was not only born in the United States, but is also famous in the world, and is regarded as a hero and idol by young Chinese Americans all over the country. ”

She paused and said, "And his son died from a real bullet fired from a prop gun during the shooting." Maybe it was because they found something that they were killed. ”

Link was stunned for a moment and said, "You said his death was ......"

"Haha, just guessing according to Catherine's conspiracy theory. Jessica said with a smile. "Bruce Lee died in Hong Kong, so it shouldn't have anything to do with the United States. ”

Link smiled and said, "Who knows?"

"Anyway, you have very little contact with the Chinese now, and your status in the hearts of the Chinese is far worse than that of Bruce Lee at the beginning. Even if Catherine was right. Let's just be careful. ”

Link was really not thinking about himself when she said that. Instead, he wondered if Bruce Lee's death had anything to do with the white elite.

He thought for a moment and couldn't help but smile. It seems that Jessica's conspiracy theories are more appalling and more intriguing. But she was right. He is still very weak compared to those elites. Even if the other party is trying to deal with him, he can only deal with it carefully.

But maybe it's time for him to strengthen his ties with the Chinese. As a minority, it is difficult to protect oneself if you do not hold together.

It's just that he wants to connect with the Chinese, and he can't give people the impression that he is ambitious. He needs to think about the degree of this.
