In mid-April, the equipment of the deep-sea recording studio and other production studios was finally commissioned, and Escubus who came to participate in the lollapalooza music festival also arrived in Chicago.

"When we first met, I really didn't expect you to achieve anything like this."

Michelle took her boyfriend's hand and looked at the platinum records on the wall, Motura's suspended RIAA certification was restarted after the two sides reconciled, so Song Ya now has a fairly good platinum certification wall, including two I Feel It Coming, three Remember The Name, and one Empire State of Mind (RIAA certification does not equal actual sales).

"This work is very tasteful, and I like the weather-beaten face of the old man in the painting."

Her boyfriend stopped in front of a large oil painting and asked, "Which artist is this?" ”

"Chinese painter in New York, Chen Qing."

Song Ya replied, "I bought a lot of his work, Taraghi ......" he called Taraghi over, "and packed it up and sent it to the two cars." ”

"Wait, we can't accept such a valuable gift." Michelle immediately stopped.

"It's okay, it's small, and the artist's paintings aren't expensive."

Song Ya tilted his head and hinted that Taraghi should continue, "This is my wedding gift to you, please accept it." The two are preparing to get married this year, and more importantly, Michelle's boyfriend is the introducer of Song Ya's application to the University of Chicago, and he will teach at the University of Chicago Law School next year.

The two said no more, "Peter has arrived." Hayden rushed to report, Michelle frowned, and went to the door with Song Ya to greet him.

"Great company APLUS." Peter Flock had come with a businessman friend who had been on the golf course last time, and Songya remembered that his name seemed to be Kozko. Peter only stayed for fifteen minutes, and after taking photos with Songya, Michelle, and a group of celebrities against the backdrop of the A+ record logo, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.

"Why did he take Kozko with him everywhere?" Song Ya asked in a low voice.

"Who knows, Kozko's 'hospitality' to Peter was very thoughtful." Michelle sneered and didn't continue the conversation.

"Councillor Underwood and his wife have arrived."

Compared with Peter Flock, the federal congressman who rushed back from Washington has a much closer relationship with Song Ya, but in front of Michelle, he and his wife Claire only talk about charity with Song Ya.

"Basically, the candidate for the Donkey Party should be the governor of Arkansas."

The couple and Song Ya entered the office and closed the door, and Underwood's chatterbox opened, "This election campaign will be very tough, and the current commander has a high reputation. ”

"Do we have a chance?" Song Ya poured wine for the two, "I heard that the relationship between the Elephant Party and the military-industrial complex has collapsed?" Because of Secretary of Defense Cheney's disarmament program? ”

"We hold the parliament, Cheney can't disarm without our cooperation, and it should be said that the relationship between both parties and the military-industrial complex has collapsed this time." Underwood tried out Songya's new boss chair, "Wow, you're so much more comfortable than my office on Capitol Hill." ”

"You're going to have bigger offices." Song Ya complimented.

"Disarmament has to be carried out, and if the CCCP lasts for another ten years, we may be the first to collapse." Claire complained, "General Dynamics and Grumman burned 2 billion knives to make a wooden model, and the military-industrial complex is too much." ”

"So we don't have a chance?" Song Ya picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Not necessarily, the current commander announced a tax hike plan, which is a bad move." Underwood got up again and went to the Honor Corner, playing with Songya's Grammy Gramophone trophy and humming a song.

"He seems to be in a good mood?" Song Ya asked Claire in a low voice.

"Some lawmakers support him as a party whip, a position that will offend everyone." Claire replied.

"The more power you have, the more people you will offend."

Underwood heard it and said, "Cheney's wife famously said at the Elephant Party dinner: When you walk into this house, half of the people are afraid of us, and half of them want to take our place. ”

"Is this office going to be contested? I can ......."

"No, just take your check." Claire smiled, "Don't talk about politics anymore." She asked Song Ya, "Have you heard?" MJ wants to donate all proceeds from his 'Dangerous Journey' concert to charity. ”

"Really?" Song Ya didn't expect MJ's handwriting to be so big, "That's a huge amount of money......"

There was a knock on the door, and with Song Ya's permission, Yeremov probed in, "APLUS, Councilor Underwood, it's time for a speech." ”

"Okay."

Claire helped Underwood get his suit straightened, and he walked out in high spirits, and Song Ya asked Taragi to bring a spoon from the bar, and 'Ding Ding Ding' rang the wine glass, "Ladies and gentlemen......"

Men and women in gowns slowly gathered around, "Thank you all for coming to the opening reception of A+ Records, I am a poor boy from the South City......" Song Ya spoke for a few minutes, "I would like to invite Mr. Underwood, Federal Councilman." "Then introduce Underwood out.

Underwood raised his hands, smiled and was sent to the center by the applause, "Twenty years ago......"

The next day, luxury cars rented by party service companies drove into the building's parking lot, and celebrities and pretty girls in fashionable and exaggerated clothes crowded into the elevator cars, and were sent to A+ records in batches.

"Your kid's studio is so good." Escubus auditioned at the deep-sea studio, "Wait, I'm going to make more money than you on this year's album." ”

"I'll wait." Song Ya smiled and accompanied him out of the studio, "Hey, Gordon, thank you for coming." He feigned surprise and punched a black man in a suit in the control room: "Gordon, the news host of BET, has been in Detroit for a long time, do you know him?" Cooper. ”

"Of course." Cooper also bumped fists with Gordon.

"BABYFACE, THEY'RE COMING." Taraji came in to report.

"Then let's talk, unaccompanied." Song Ya gives Gordon a wink and completes his agreement with BET boss Johnson.

BABYFACE BROUGHT DONNIE BLADSTONE AND THE THREE GIRLS FROM THE TLC COMBINATION THIS TIME, "HEY, DONNIE, LONG TIME NO SEE. Song Ya hugged her.

"Congratulations on winning the Grammy." Donnie smiled a little lost when she saw the platinum record certification of the Empire State of Mind on the wall.

Song Ya pretended not to see it, and he soon discovered that Fei Ji was glaring at each other with one of the members of TLC, 'Left Eye', the two had a feud on LAFACE Records, and Left Eye had bullied Fei Ji with the other members.

"SORRY, BABYFACA, LET'S TALK WHEN WE'RE ALL TOGETHER."

He hurriedly pulled Phigie aside for vaccination, "Don't make trouble on such an important occasion for me, do you hear?" ”

"Hmph, okay."

Fergie pouted and agreed, and TLC's album was released in February, with R&B, funk, and hip-hop, with each of the three girls specializing in one, and the album was well received upon release.

It didn't take long for a large group of friends from New York to arrive, this time the professor and his band did not come, and Rakim led NAS and others to the scene. Naturally, there was a large group of followers who followed them.

"Old Joe."

Song Ya then welcomed Lao Qiao in, as well as four bucket aunts, their albums were also released in early April, but it was difficult to build momentum with Lao Qiao's solo publicity strategy, and Saa Magni, who Song Ya changed the lyrics, was unsurprisingly the first strong single.

"The West Coast people have arrived."

The notorious Sugnette didn't come, it was still old friends Dre and Snoop Dogg, and behind them were a young man who walked like a spring, a very pure West Coast black street dress, Song Ya suddenly felt very familiar to him, "Kobe!?" ”

"M-FXXK, who are you calling?" The young man glared at him viciously, not giving the owner of the body, the big star APLUS, face.

"Want to make trouble? You kid......

Tony, who was behind Song Ya, led the silencer and immediately rushed forward.

"Hey! Hey! It's all their own people. ”

DRE HURRIEDLY PLAYED THE ROUND, "APLUS, CONGRATULATIONS ON WINNING THE GRAMMY." ”

Song Ya wrenched his wrist with him, hit his chest, and patted his back.

"Snoop Dogg, you've got to know you." Derui introduced that Snoopy Dog, who was rejected by Song Ya several times, naturally did not have a good face, "This kid is called 2PAC, and he released his first album in November last year. He also introduced the rapper who was inexplicably mistaken for 'Kobe' by Song Ya.

The two fisted and lifted each other's chins, which was considered to have uncovered the episode.

At this time, Escuber led his followers over.

"Hey, Cooper." Dre took the initiative to reach out his fist.

Escubus stood reserved for a moment, "Hey. After all, he raised his hand and bumped his fist into him and left. There is no need for A's Dre and him to continue their hatred, although the two supporters have fought many times before.

The warm and chaotic party has been going on, and Big A has brought in a lot of girls, who gulp down the high-end wine prepared by Song Ya, and flirt with the stars and their followers everywhere.

In the president's office of A+ Records, the soundproofed goalkeeper kept the noise out, "Although everyone should know each other, please don't mind if I introduce it again, everyone present will work together to carry out the future joint publicity plan." ”

Song Ya stood at the boss's desk, "This is the old Joe ...... Chicago"

"The Escubus of the West Coast ......"

"Dre on the West Coast, Snoop Dogg, 2PAC ......"

"Atlanta's BABYFACE ......"

"Rakim on the East Coast, NAS ......"
