Chapter 030: Unscrupulous

After walking out of the backstage of the studio hall, Wen Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It was the last show he attended, and James, acting as his temporary agent, had already settled the notice fee with the station, and he went straight downstairs to start hailing taxis.

has been on four programs with good ratings in a row, which has greatly increased Wen Ming's popularity in the United States, but this popularity is based on a momentary freshness, although those viewers know him, what can attract the audience to watch the show is the stories he tells in the show.

How did a modern person, after getting used to the convenience brought by high technology, live on a desert island for more than four months? Even, a canoe was built to escape from that desert island.

Wen Ming told the same stories in each program, and he was able to invite him to participate in all four programs, not only because the audience groups of these TV stations are different, but also because he needed to answer some questions from the audience.

For example, how did he solve the problem of wiping his ass?

"Of course, after going to the toilet, no, there are no toilets on the desert island where I am, and there are no police to take care of me if I defecate in the open. After solving the problem on the island, I usually choose to swim in the sea, can you see what I mean? ”

Such questions and topics can always attract the attention of the audience, and there are even many viewers who are very envious of Wen Ming's life and think that he has really come into contact with nature.

Recently, there have been some viewers who have been nervous and have run to a desert island and want to try to live for a while. As a result, the longest one lasted only a week and chose to call for help.

In the two programs that followed, the host also interviewed Wen Ming on the issues of these people.

"It's not that they can't hold out longer, the reason why they need rescue in a week is because they have the option of rescue. I was able to hold out for more than four months because I didn't have the option of rescue at all. ”

In addition to these questions, the most difficult question for Wen Ming to answer is the question about racial discrimination.

He knew that the main reason why he was not rescued was that the desert island where he was located was too far away from the shipwreck site. More than a thousand kilometers away, it is impossible for anyone to imagine.

Of course, the search and rescue team spent less than two days hastily searching several nearby uninhabited islands and then stopped the operation, and the issue of racial discrimination must not be ignored.

"Regarding racial discrimination, I think that whether it is historical facts or other news other than my incident, it can prove that there is indeed racial discrimination in the United States."

When Wen Ming answers these questions, he must carefully think about his words and sentences, his attitude is definitely not tolerant of racial discrimination, but in the way of speaking, try to divert some contradictions.

"I would never be naΓ―ve enough to think that all men are created equal. Some people are born with hunger and disease, while others have the capital to waste food. But this inequality is inequality at the level of capital. ”

"The efforts of the fathers have brought better conditions for the offspring to be born, which is deserved. However, when it comes to human rights, I feel that equality is a must. When we pay the same taxes, I want to be able to get the same rights and enjoy the same benefits. ”

"Lawyer Sith was a good friend of my father, in my parents...... He helped me with a lot of things. Including this time when I returned from a shipwreck, he also helped me pay some medical expenses. ”

"But as far as I know, because he's black, his attorney's fees are always lower than those of a white lawyer. In terms of knowledge of American law, as well as in debate, I believe that Lawyer Sith will definitely not be weaker than anyone else, and just because of his skin, his legal fees will be reduced.

Although he himself doesn't really have much opinion, it says one thing. That is the current American society, and the vast majority of those who work in low-income jobs are black. ”

"Because of low-income jobs, they can't give their children a better life and education, because without better living and education conditions, it is more difficult for their children to work in high-paying jobs, which is a very heart-wrenching cycle."

Wen Ming said these words on the show after consulting the Sith lawyer.

Moreover, shifting the issue of racial discrimination between whites and blacks was also suggested by the Sith himself. Because the number of blacks in the United States is very large, they will have a certain degree of favor for Wen Ming because of Wen Ming's speech.

Moreover, those white people who hate racism will also have some affection for Wen Ming.

The lesser of two evils, what Wen Ming wants to do now is to offend the small number of Americans who have the idea of white supremacy, and then get the support of the vast majority of blacks, as well as whites who have no racist ideas.

If the topic of racism is only between whites and yellows, then Wen Ming will receive even less support.

In fact, as expected by Wen Ming, Sith and others, because of these topics, the number of Wen Ming's Facebook fans skyrocketed to 5 million, surpassing James, who has more than 3 million followers.

Moreover, Wen Ming's novel has already received more than 50,000 pre-orders before it is released, and it has almost locked the top spot on the bestseller list in the week of its release.

"It's time for surgery!"

Wen Ming stood on the side of the street and sighed, what he has done in the past few days is actually a bit unscrupulous and hype, but so what?

When a man is about to die, he has nothing to fear. Everything is to work hard for yourself to be able to live.

Reaching out and stopping a taxi, after telling the driver his destination, he asked the driver to wait a little longer, because James had not come out yet.

The driver was a black man, and after he looked at Wen Ming carefully, he suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, man, you're that Huaxia man, right?" ”

Wen Ming responded with a smile: "If you mean that you are always on the show recently, it should be me." ”

Americans liked the humor, and the black driver excitedly said, "I think you're amazing, you can survive on a desert island for so long, and even make a canoe." You know, I took my kids the day before yesterday to see that canoe of yours. ”

Wen Ming's canoe was sold by him for $3,000 to an exhibition hall in Miami.

Without waiting for Wen Ming to speak, the black driver continued: "What are you doing here? Are you going to sue those bitches? Those white people really deserve to die, you are not dead, but you are not willing to save you. ”

Wen Ming was embarrassed, and he didn't know how to answer these words, although his current position was that of a discriminated person who dared to shoot at racial discrimination, he would not be as good as this black driver to see a white man.

At the end of the day, the discrimination he suffered was not at all the same level as the discrimination suffered by blacks in the United States.

"No, I'm here for a show called 'New York Dialogue.'"

Black driver question mark face: "New York Dialogue?" Why Miami? I don't usually see this show. ”

Wen Ming smiled: "That's because I need surgery, so I can't go to New York, so they borrowed a place here to record the show." ”

In addition to the program "New York Dialogue", there are two other programs, both of which Wen Ming recorded by plane to another city. The reason why he didn't leave this time was because the operation time was too close for him to leave.

The black driver suddenly thought of what happened to Wen Ming, and his expression instantly became embarrassed, and he said, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... May God bless you. ”

At this time, James finally ran out of the building and saw Wen Ming at a glance.

Getting into the car, James said, "The hospital just called and said that it was ready, and the operation could be done tomorrow morning, and you need to be tested again in the hospital today." ”

Wen Ming nodded and asked, "After the operation, you can go back to school, otherwise ......"

As students, James and Cage and others have taken ten days off, which is not a short time for Harvard's relatively intense coursework.

"It's okay, we've talked to the school and they don't have a problem," James said. Of course, several of us had to pass the exams. ”

"By the way, the school suggested that you take a year off and start your first year again, what do you think?"

Wen Ming pursed his lips and asked, "Then do they have to charge the tuition again?" ”
