Chapter 159: Howard University

"Hayden, I feel like I'm going to have to hire bodyguards, professional, the kind with guns."

Looking at the back of Derui and Snoop Dogg leaving, Song Ya deeply understands the nature of the high-risk industry in the rap circle, the brothers hire gunmen behind each other's backs, and little Lowry was shot on the street, this is simply playing music with his life!

He found Hayden as soon as possible, "Delay and Al are already famous, and it's not appropriate to let them be their followers." ”

"I warned you a long time ago, you can't always expect to pick people from the relationships around you, which of those African-American friends you know can get a security qualification? Don't let them carry guns, they are powerless to fight back when they encounter danger, and with guns, they themselves are time bombs. ”

Hayden nagged and picked up his phone, "Hollywood has a very professional security company that specializes in serving stars, and we have worked with William Morris for many years. ”

He called Donovan, "That's it, when you get to Los Angeles, Donovan will arrange a time for an interview, and you can decide whether to hire or not when you're not satisfied." ”

"Yes."

Song Ya knows that the annual salary of those professional bodyguards is not low, but nothing matters to life, and he is just starting out as a traverser! "What's next?" He asked Hayden.

"Tomorrow in Washington, donate to Howard during the day, it's part of the advocacy program, and Congressman Underwood will go as well. In the evening, I walked the cave for a business show, on a banquet yacht. The day after tomorrow, I went back to Chicago to promote, and by the way, I went to Sunnyvale, Silicon Valley, on the 11th, to have a meeting with Reeser and talk about the purchase of factories and land, to meet Mila in Los Angeles that night, and to Compton on the 12th to attend the premiere of the Boys in the Escubus Movie District. Hayden looked at the schedule: "Hmm...... The premiere is in the evening, so the bodyguard interview can be scheduled during the day. ”

"Whew, the itinerary is really rushed." Song Ya sighed.

"It's not supposed to be an agent's job." Hayden complained: "If you don't hire a manager, you have to hire an assistant so that I can get rid of these trivial things." ”

"Recruit and recruit, recruit all, isn't it just spending money." Song Ya had no choice but to appease him.

The next day, Songya and Hayden arrived in Washington and walked into the auditorium of Howard University.

This university belongs to the so-called traditional black university, which was used to admit black students in the era of racial segregation, and after the affirmative action movement, the United States people were embarrassed to let such schools change their admissions rules, and in the higher education law, it is specifically allowed to give priority to African-American students in admissions, so until now 90% of its students are still black, and a reverse discrimination admissions wall has been erected.

Of course, the quality of education in this kind of university is not very good, and Howard University is considered a general among the short, and the school has produced many celebrities, such as ...... The current mayor of New York, David Dinkins, the black boss in the Donkey Party, if it weren't for him, Underwood would not have come, and Song Ya would not have chosen this school to donate, although black stars generally donate some money to such traditional black schools after they get rich, but it is very particular about which school to donate to.

"Long time no see, big star." When they meet again, Underwood and Song Ya joke affectionately.

"Hello, Mr. Underwood."

The two were already 'old friends', and before the donation ceremony began, the two walked to a remote place to chat alone.

"I want to thank you and Claire for your help, the case in South Africa, it seems that the lady will be acquitted." Song Yaxian thanked him.

Underwood waved his hand casually, "There's nothing to thank, isn't that what Claire is busy with all day?" He smiled and asked, "You've lived in New York for a long time, haven't you?" I read the news that you bought a house in New York. ”

"Almost, no way, I'm going to go there and record a lot." Song Ya replied.

"How's security going in New York?" Underwood looked around to make sure no one was hearing the conversation nearby, "I mean, do you feel like it's getting worse as the data suggests, like Chicago?" ”

"Chicago is definitely deteriorating, as for New York ......" Song Ya, as a star, has become more and more detached from the city life, he can only say something he saw with his own eyes, "It should also be a little worse, and the side of Times Square is full of people selling erotic videos at night." ”

"Dinkins isn't having a good time, is he?" "I've heard he's under a lot of pressure and his re-election is in jeopardy," Underwood said. ”

"I don't know." With his term until ninety-three, and his re-election campaign is still early, who cares except for a career politician like Underwood.

Underwood paced a few steps in a deep voice, "Will little Lowry's case affect you?" He asked suddenly.

"No, the FBI guys did come to me once, but I haven't been in touch with Lowry Jr. for a long time." To the federal congressman, Song Ya will not be clever and hide anything.

"That's good, it's a pity for little Lowry, his previous image was also good." Underwood said.

At this time, the school staff came to remind that the ceremony was about to begin.

Basically, this kind of activity is almost the same, more than the previous time to get the BMI membership, the scene is a little bigger, after the school's high-level speech, Song Ya came to the stage, and sent a check for 100,000 dollars and donation documents to the other party, the other party held the other corner of the check, the two kept an exchange posture, and let the reporter take pictures.

"Ladies and gentlemen......" and then Song Ya was left on the podium, he took out the prepared speech and read it, still the same as before, Daniel's integral theory, "This school is a treasure of African Americans, and I have produced for her the great African-American female writer Toni Morrison, the first African-American mayor of New York, David Dinkins, the first African-American congressman...... And pride. ”

"I have also worked effectively for the school for many years......

"And then I have to thank my old friend in Chicago, Congressman Underwood, who is currently working on drafting a new education bill that will bring more help to traditional African-American universities......"

As a federal congressman from the Chicago district, Underwood would not have been able to attend events on college campuses in Washington if it weren't for his participation in the New Education Act and the reason for Song Ya's donation.

"Thank you." To the applause, he received a document expressing his gratitude from a black female student representative, "...... by Councillor Underwood below."

"Sixteen?" At the end of the event, Councillor Underwood happily pinched Song Ya's shoulder, "Keep up the good work, stay away from the gang, you have a bright future." ”

Song Ya modestly coped.

In the evening, he and Hayden rendezvous with Dillay and Eyre, arrived at the seashore dozens of kilometers away, and boarded a yacht moored there.

This is a high-end dinner hosted by a lobbyist group, and the audience is usually some political and business celebrities, so rap music is not suitable, and his three songs, I Feel It Coming, Feel It Still and Trumpet, are more suitable for this kind of occasion.

“APLUS!?”

As the dressing room was getting ready to play, a black girl boldly asked from the door.

Al hurried to the door and stopped her.

"You are?" Song Ya didn't know this twenty-year-old girl with big eyes and a round face and heavy makeup, huh...... The appearance is average.,It's not the type you like.。

"We saw it during the day, at your donation ceremony." The girl straightened up and made a gesture holding the paper.

"Oh!" Song Ya remembered that this girl was the Howard University student representative holding the document to herself.

"Is that okay?" The girl gestured to the dressing room.

"Let him in, Al." Song Ya knew that girls who did that kind of work were generally excellent in school and academics, but she didn't expect to appear on such occasions at night, and she was dressed very revealingly, "What are you doing here?" He asked.

"Part-time resident singer and dancer, doing everything on this ship, for college tuition." The girl happily slipped in and stood in front of Song Ya generously, "I'm still working as a part-time clerk at the Pentagon. ”

"Wow, you're working hard." Song Ya sighed, "Can you handle it?" ”

"yes, no problem."

The girl spoke with a little hoarse smoke and laughed contagiously, "My name is Tara Ji Hansen, and it's nice to meet you APLUS." ”
