When he got up the next morning, Xiao Yang borrowed a set of clothes from his cousin Lin Jiayong, and took Lin Yuanhang's car to his law firm to meet with people from the TV station. ”
"Of course, my cousin is wise, and my uncle is mighty. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info" Looking at the paparazzi following behind from a distance, Xiao Yang hummed and perfunctorily said: "You'll know when you meet." ”
Lin Yuanhang and his law school classmates co-founded the "Davis Lin" law firm is located in the center of Pasadena, where the California Institute of Technology is located, the city's residents have a very high level of education and employment, per capita income has reached more than twice the average level of the United States, and more than 10% of the city's more than 50,000 residents are single-parent families.
"Davis-Lin" law firm is not large, in addition to the two title partners only 6 lawyers and 2 interns, to be able to take Xiao Yang, a new celebrity as a client, is naturally a major benefit to enhance the reputation of the law firm, so Lin Yuanhang deliberately handed over the case at hand to another junior partner to deal with, and he is responsible for Xiao Yang's business.
At 9 a.m., NBC's Adrias Schneider and a financial advisor arrived from Burbank as scheduled, and he told Xiao Yang, "Mr. Brokaw has boarded a flight and is expected to arrive in Los Angeles at 2 p.m. today, and he will communicate with you further about the content and procedures of the interview in the evening after the time difference is over." ”
Xiao Yang nodded his understanding and asked him: "I have never done an exclusive interview, especially live broadcast, I don't know if there are any things to pay attention to in specific details, such as dress, manners, conversation, etc.?" ”
Adrias Schneider said: "I was talking to Mr. Brokaw on the phone, and he meant that you had better wear the same outfit you wore yesterday at the kidnapping scene, including a baseball cap and sunglasses, in order to create a familiar atmosphere for the audience - if you don't mind." ”
Xiao Yang smiled, "Of course I don't mind." ”
"There's nothing else to pay attention to." Adrias Schneider said: "There is a special makeup artist in charge of the appearance and image, and the behavior is just according to your personal habits, don't be nervous, forget the camera, just treat it as a normal chat between two people, oh, and pay a little attention to the wording, because we are a public TV station, so we can't say adult jokes, let alone swearing, and edge balls like 'shi-t' will also be 'beeped'." ”
"It shouldn't be a problem." Xiao Yang nodded, he didn't have the habit of being dirty.
After discussing all the details, Adrias Schneider took a cowhide envelope from the financial advisor's hand and pushed it down the table to Xiao Yang, "The appearance fee stipulated in the contract, please give me a receipt." ”
Xiao Yang opened the envelope and saw that it contained a cash check for $350,000 and a remote control car key.
Seeing the "blue sky and white clouds" logo on the key, Lin Jiayong, who had been muffling and humming beside him, couldn't calm down anymore, grabbed it and took a closer look, and asked in disbelief: "You actually gave him a BMW...... Just to ask him for an exclusive interview? ”
"And $350,000!" Adrias Schneider took the receipt issued to him by Lin Yuanhang, solemnly handed it to the financial advisor, shook hands with Lin Yuanhang and Xiao Yang respectively, and said goodbye, "The car is parked in the parking lot downstairs, gentlemen, we'll see you in the evening." ”
"A BMW, plus $350,000...... Crazy, the world is crazy! Muttering a few words to himself in a daze, Lin Jiayong suddenly grabbed Xiao Yang, "Let's go, go see your new car!" ”
Out of the elevator, Lin Jiayong dragged Xiao Yang straight to the parking lot in front of the building, and saw the brand-new BMW at a glance, at Xiao Yang's request, NBC purchased a royal blue 1993 M5 on his behalf, this high-performance four-door coupe is based on BMW's internal number E34 The third-generation 5 Series is built, and the appearance looks almost no different from the ordinary 5 Series BMW, still retaining the classic combination of traditional four-round headlights and kidney grille, relative to Xiao Yang's familiar "angel eyes" The styling and streamlined body lines are slightly conservative, and only the blue, purple and red color blocks on the grille and the "M-Power" logo show its unruly power and unrivalled performance.
For the sake of fuel consumption, price, sales and other considerations, including BMW, including BMW, major brand car companies are usually unable to maximize the performance of production cars, such as BMW's M series, Mercedes-Benz AMG series, Audi's RS, Ford's SVT and Volkswagen's R series and other development teams are born in response to the needs of a small number of high-end customers. On the road beast that is wild at heart.
"Wow, this is a ...... An M, this is actually an M? Wow! Seeing the icon on the grille, Lin Jiayong was deeply shocked again, "They actually gave you an M?" Incredible! ”
Xiao Yang shrugged his shoulders, "That's what they did." ”
Speaking easily, he is still a little proud in his heart, in his previous life, he tightened his belt and compensated his wife for a few days, but he could barely buy an entry-level 5 series, and the M series was only drooling, and now he just opened his mouth at will, and someone sent such a luxury car to the door, which had to make him sigh: "The feeling of traveling through time and space...... It's cool! ”
Seeing him standing still, Lin Jiayong urged him to hurry up and get in the car to experience the performance, Xiao Yang shook his head and threw the car key to him, "This task will be handed over to you, my uncle and I still have something to do." ”
Lin Jiayong waited for his words, took the key and got into the car, stepped on the accelerator, and the M5 roared and jumped out, Lin Yuanhang loudly reminded him to pay attention to safety and didn't hear it - even if he heard it, it must be the wind in his ears.
Accompanied by Lin Yuanhang, Xiao Yang went to the bank to cash the check, opened an account by the way, and applied for a credit card, after coming out, he registered a phone number in the nearby AT-T business hall, and the mobile phone was selected as the newly listed Nokia 2100, which has an address book function, a variety of ringtones and the classic mobile game "Snake", which is known as one of the most advanced mobile phones in the industry, but for Xiao Yang, who is used to using smart phones, The only thing that made him feel familiar was the classic ringtone "Waltz".
