Chapter Seventy-Five: An Invitation from a Member of Parliament

"Li Ming, someone is looking for you!" The assistant to the team's executive director shouted loudly at the door.

"Looking for me?" I don't have any friends here, so who will find the team? Li Ming muttered and walked to the office next door.

"Hello, I'm Li Ming." He whispered.

On the opposite side was a middle-aged man's voice, "Wow, Li Ming, it's an honor to call you, I'm a member of the staff at Grant Street, there is a themed community event tonight, I hope you can participate, of course you can also bring your own friends." "The voice on the other end of the line was so sincere that it was hard to refuse.

"Oh, community events, what's the theme?" Li Ming wanted to ask a little more detailed.

"The theme is to care for our planet, create a harmonious community, and so on, and by the way, the city council officials will also come." The other party is also sincere.

In this way, Li Ming was roughly impressed, and he had seen some slogans written in the window of the community for the re-election, which seemed to be the candidates of the new parliament who wanted to pull votes in their respective communities.

"...... at night" Li Ming just wanted to say that he had training, but the other party hurriedly said: That's it, see you at night! I hung up the phone in a hurry.

Well, it can basically be seen that a cultural and sports star like him can help those legislators who are usually high in the sky to pull votes and increase their proximity to the people.

"Lee, what's the matter?" Looking at Li Ming, who walked into the arena with his head down, Daniel dropped the basketball in his hand.

"It's just that there was a community event in the evening, and I didn't know if it was for me to come over." Li Ming spread his hands.

"Really? It's so powerful, it's a themed community event at night. Lele screamed, he had also seen the propaganda at school, and there should be local football stars and some jazz bands in attendance.

The most important thing is that the cocktails are free to drink and the variety of fruit snacks is open to eat. This is what attracts them the most.

"I haven't thought of it yet, and I haven't decided to go yet." Li Ming added.

"Go, why don't you go, it's weird, you're the hottest basketball star in this area right now, you know, you're even more famous than the kind of boys in our college." Wang Lele was referring to the star players of the University of Memphis basketball team.

Admittedly, in a small ball city like Memphis, college players are often more popular than professional players, because most of those children have grown up with locals and seem more relatable.

"Go ahead, I'd love to see the Spartan bands live out." Daniel said that the Spartan band was a local black jazz band, and they would definitely participate in such an event to increase their exposure.

Moreover, they are almost always present at the events of the town hall, as if the two sides have a long-term relationship.

"Okay, stop practicing, you've reached the standard today, you need to relax and relax." Li Ming was almost carried out by them.

At half past five, several people arrived at Li Ming's house on time and began to hurriedly help him choose clothes and tie bowties, as if they were going to attend a film festival, and the Grammys were not so formal.

However, Li Ming is still very happy, he has no impression of this city councilor, and he has no good feelings, he just has one more opportunity to be with his friends, which is what he values the most.

Several people arrived at the scene early, there was already string music at the scene, people were communicating with each other, and from time to time someone held a wine glass in the direction of Li Ming.

Daniel disappeared as soon as they entered, and they went to the innermost part, next to the jazz band by the river, where the most young people were around, and they could even see local football star Lawrence Mourning and his teammates.

It is estimated that he is also one of the protagonists tonight, and he will even give a speech on stage.

Li Ming took a glass of brandy from the waiter who walked by, and wandered aimlessly around the venue alone.

"You must be that basketball star Lee, right? Yes, that's you! "Suddenly, a man in a black tuxedo walked up.

"Yes, sir......" Li Ming looked at him with a smile.

"Oh, let me introduce myself, I'm Dr. Pierre of the St. Din's clinic in the westernmost part of this street, and I'm a dentist."

The other party was very polite and humble, and when he spoke, he put the wine glass in his hand on the small table beside him, and at the same time took out a business card from his bosom and respectfully handed it to him with both hands.

"Fortunately, fortunately." Li Ming also took the business card politely.

"There will be a lot of sports stars tonight, but let me say that you are the brightest one, and now the whole city knows you and is cheering you on, and your performance in Los Angeles has reached us." He used his mouth to nude the sports weekly newspaper next to him.

There is a photo of him riding Jamieson on it, which is also the cover of the local media in Los Angeles, which is impressively printed: The words of the league's upstart, and now the Grizzlies team has the confidence to call the whole league.

And all this is due to the qualitative change brought about by the addition of a player from the East.

"Hey, Lee, you're here." Randolph and Guy, who were in crisp suits, suddenly hugged him from behind.

They're coming, too? I remember that these two brothers are not in this area, they are in the north of the city.

It turned out that in order to increase his worth and affinity, this councilor cast a net everywhere, as long as it can be related to the style and style.

Randolph and Rudy Gay naturally became his best targets, so that he could pull back a lot of votes in the North District at once, and he was promoted while stepping on his opponent, which was really a good calculation.

"Oh, this bow tie is good, who chose it for you." Guy still didn't change his image as a naughty boy, and kept fiddling with Li Ming's bow tie.

Only then did Li Ming see that Guy was actually wearing a cyan suit, as if he was a big green worm.

And Zach Randolph is even more excessive, with a pink blazer on the upper body and a black and white tight pants, which tastes ...... Absolutely. These two buddies are so black, if they don't speak, they look like two walking hangers from a distance......

"Are you ready for the speech at the next stage?" I saw Randolph take out a small card from his chest, on which were written a few lines of clear small letters.

"Hey, Zack, what are you going to do there, maybe they don't plan to invite you up at all, come on, stop being narcissistic." Wherever there is Guy, there is always laughter.

"Anyway, they will definitely invite me to the stage, I am the image ambassador of the city." Zach replied earnestly.

"Ambassadors? What? You? May I ask Mr. Zachrandorf, is this an advertisement for a cotton farm? Guy laughed and ran away.

Randolph also bowed his head shyly, pretending to find himself a glass of wine at the table.
