Chapter 0215 - Be a Respected Singer
"You just have a poor mouth, my mother is helpless because of you. Deng Lijun glared at the man who was still close to her just now.
"I'm playing tricks, didn't you see that the old lady was coaxed to make me something to eat?" Tang Huan retorted unashamedly.
"Clever words, I can't talk about you. After Deng Lijun snorted, she reached out and touched the little faces of the two babies, full of tenderness.
"How's the concert going?" Tang Huan stretched and asked casually.
"A little nervous, but no big problem, after all, my stage experience is still there. Deng Lijun's tone was full of confidence.
"There is no doubt about your professionalism. Tang Huan nodded, "I'm referring to the social affairs that need to be dealt with when you return to the public, especially the activities in the English environment that you will attend." ”
"In the past year or so, I feel that I have improved a lot of talents, or Mr. Tang will give a test on the paper. Deng Lijun pursed her lips and glanced at Tang Huan with a smile.
"Don't bother with it, I'm sure that's it. Pregnancy is like pregnancy, after a long time, it will naturally be revealed. Tang Huan smiled and waved his hand.
"Your mouth is really getting less and less doorless now. Deng Lijun, who was teased so blushing, chased Tang Huan and punched a few pink fists, and the two babies saw their parents staging an all-martial arts, and they were so happy that they danced and babbled with oil.
"Don't take bad children. Tang Huan returned to the stroller with a smile and obediently took a few punches, and Deng Lijun gave up.
"Now that you're ready, let's make our comeback. Tang Huan's face was straight. "The first stop was New York on the east coast of the United States. ”
"When the time comes. We flew separately. lest others gossip. Deng Lijun muttered.
"Okay, but I'll tell the assistant you have arranged, lest someone snatch you away while I'm away. Tang Huan laughed.
……
Deng Lijun's first concert after her comeback was arranged at Lincoln Center in New York.
Although this place is revered as the stage that artists dream of, how lofty it is, no one should approach, but it is like many artists in the previous life who went to Vienna to operate and then returned to China to raise their own value. The prop used in the Golden Hall, like that, is not so absolute.
What's more, Deng Lijun's singing strength and influence are here, the tickets for the day of the performance have been booked out, and the Chinese who did not buy tickets are very disappointed, so they have no choice but to arrange a second show that night.
But before that, Tang Huan arranged a number of social activities for Deng Lijun, the most important of which was to visit UNICEF, a specialized agency under the United Nations. It was established at the end of 1946, the year after the founding of the United Nations. It's an old qualification, and it's headquartered in New York.
The United Nations is not as lofty as its name seems, and its funding source is originally dependent on donations from various member states, so it is logical that everyone often quarrels here for their own interests.
As for UNICEF, as a voluntary foundation, funded by government and private donations, it is naturally very welcome to a wealthy man like Tang Huan who is enthusiastic about public welfare.
Compared with other rich people, Tang Huan's biggest advantage is that in addition to the vision of the reborn, he also has the ability to be proficient in multiple languages.
When he entered the United Nations building, he was able to cope with any language, and the benefits of such direct communication were self-evident.
The current CEO of UNICEF is James P. Grant, 58, aka James Grant? P. Grant, who took office in January of this year, would have served three consecutive terms until 1995, when he died of cancer.
Grant was born in Beijing in 1922 as a Canadian citizen and lived until he was 15 years old before coming to the United States to study at the University of California, Berkeley, and graduating from Harvard Law School in 1951 and becoming a staff member of a United Nations agency dealing with China.
During that time, Grant also entered U.S. politics, where he held positions such as Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, and was finally appointed Chief Executive Officer of UNICEF earlier this year.
After Tang Huan greeted him, he didn't talk nonsense, and directly pushed over two checks, one for Deng Lijun's $200,000 and the other for $2 million from Shennong Fund.
Don't look at Deng Lijun, who hasn't worked much in the past year, but she has 10% of Zheru's shares in her hands, and this expense is directly paid from this income.
Everyone understands people, and they can naturally distinguish the relationship between priority and priority from the details.
Grant glanced at the top check for $200,000, his eyes fell on Deng Lijun, and his face showed appreciation, "Miss Deng, you are not only an elegant and outstanding oriental woman, but also a beautiful soul. ”
Deng Lijun smiled faintly, "I heard that one of the current priorities of UNICEF is girls' education, and I missed the opportunity to study at an early age due to some objective reasons. And rightfully so. ”
These words are really Deng Lijun's heartfelt words, especially after having a baby, the compassion of being a woman is stronger, so she also sincerely supports the donation activity arranged by Tang Huan.
"Yes, although Miss Deng is now singing all over Southeast Asia, she has also put in great efforts, and has been studying at the University of California for the past year. Tang Huan bowed slightly, and took over the conversation, "She is planning to tour in North America, and she is willing to donate the proceeds of this ticket to UNICEF." ”
In fact, Tang Huan is so enthusiastic because he has taken a fancy to the title of UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, which is divided into international, regional and national Goodwill Ambassadors.
In the original time and space, the Chinese among the international goodwill ambassadors were Jackie Chan, Aaron Kwok, Liming, Lang Lang and so on.
This trip can't be said to be utilitarian, otherwise how to classify the charity galas held by the upper class, it can only be said to be a kind of public relations activity, a manifestation of ability, and Deng Lijun, who has become interested in it, is fully competent to serve as a regional-level goodwill ambassador with her influence in Southeast Asia now.
In addition, UNICEF has always been keen to use the influence of celebrities to carry out its work, and as early as 1954, the first international goodwill ambassadors, American stars Danny Kaye or Danny Kaye, and Audrey Hepburn also accepted the title.
In 2006, FC Barcelona reached an advertising agreement with UNICEF to use the UNICEF logo on its jerseys and donate 0.7% of the club's annual revenue to the United Nations Millennium Development Goals program.
Tang Huan's actions are not surprising, as long as you have this ability, and it is precisely Tang Huan, a lucky boy, who has this ability, controls the Shennong Fund, and generously throws a lot of money, and has been in the limelight in American public opinion for a while. Grant, who completely relies on fortune to raise funds, likes this kind of rich man the most.
Next, Tang Huan, Deng Lijun and others, accompanied by Grant, visited UNICEF to learn about its operation.
Deng Lijun was full of interest, and said to Tang Huan in a low voice: "The work here is really great and meaningful. ”
Rubbing his nose, Tang Huan reminded in a low voice, "You take it easy, don't be soft-hearted and promise easily, our family background is also limited, and there are two big fat sons to raise, half of the eldest son eats the poor old man." ”
Deng Lijun gave Tang Huan a roll of the eyes, ignored him, and walked away two steps to chat with Grant.
They had a working meal at UNICEF headquarters and stayed for almost a whole day, and the itinerary was full of rewards, especially Deng Lijun's repeated sighs, which opened her eyes.
In the name of the Shennong Fund, Tang Huan and Grant agreed on their intention to fund UNICEF in the next few years, and the other party also revealed that they would evaluate Deng Lijun's qualifications as a goodwill ambassador.
Deng Lijun didn't pay attention to this, she did have the idea of doing something practical, and asked Grant to send someone to guide her concert, so as to reflect the intention of charity.
After leaving the UNICEF headquarters, Deng Lijun smiled and waved at Tang Huan, "You go and do your own business, I can handle the next schedule with the help of the record company and assistants." ”
Tang Huan nodded, took a few steps closer and whispered, "Do everything according to your ability, the reason why I arranged this event for you is to make your identity more transcendent, and try to avoid being used by those with bad motives, with this firewall, you may be able to concentrate more on your singing career in the future." ”
Deng Lijun smiled and punched Tang Huan, "Don't be so utilitarian, I've been with you for so long, my horizons have become more and more broadened, and the work of UNICEF does feel very meaningful to me, so don't think about it so much." ”
Speaking of this, Deng Lijun tilted her head and thought for a while, "My ideal has always been to become a big singer, but now it has changed, I want to be a respected singer." ”
"Okay, you can sublimate your thoughts. Tang Huan shook his head, "I'm a mediocre person who can't be compared, so I'm going to Europe." I'll come back the day your concert at Lincoln Center begins. ”
"Then I won't send it. Deng Lijun smiled and waved her hand, "I heard that there are a lot of beautiful women in Russia, don't make old mistakes and be dazzled." ”
was so teased by Deng Lijun, Tang Huan was speechless, and hurriedly left in the car, seeing that Deng Lijun couldn't help but laugh. (To be continued......)
