Chapter 106: Do You Know Portuguese? (The third update, 4,000 words!) )
Tom began to smoke his cigar.
Zhang Sheng didn't ask for it, but he felt that it was a compulsory course for nobles.
At first, he smoked dozens of Chinese cigars, and while smoking, he looked in the mirror, watched the smoke rings slowly rise, and imagined that he was in a lavish ball, looking at the gentlemen and ladies coming and going, wandering in the crowd of classical music accompaniment and fluttering dance......
That feeling, it's really good.
Afterward......
A few dozen pieces of cigars are gradually not enough.
As a result, the price of cigars ranged from dozens to hundreds, and even today, he opened a gilded box and smoked a [Bezos cigar] from Europe.
He repeatedly practiced his hand on the cigar to make those two fingers look extraordinarily noble.
He looked at the burning cigar head, every spark was money burning, but he didn't feel distressed in his heart, but an indescribable "addiction" gradually occupied his whole body.
After smoking, he began to subconsciously call his family......
He asked about his mother, his father, his grandfather, his grandfather......
Once in Brazil, he was so poor that he could barely survive, and he never considered the identity of his ancestors.
But after coming to Huaxia, enjoying a short period of luxury and watching a lot of videos, the whole person's thinking seems to have been brainwashed by something.
He began to search for traces of his ancestors.
He asked his mother repeatedly......
My mother is very honest and sincere.
"We don't have aristocratic blood, your grandfather's grandfather, who used to be a slave, and then the times changed, and finally he had the status of an ordinary person......"
“……”
"We have Indian Dalit blood, and we have African, a small amount of white blood, but my grandfather's father was an outcast of white people......"
“……”
"If we chase it up, we are also ordinary civilians, and that is a thousand years old......"
“……”
His mother's serious words were like a thorn in his heart.
He began to become a little disappointed.
This sense of disappointment made him start to want to run away, especially when his mother called him "Dawa", his whole body, as if reflexively, spasmed for a moment, and then corrected the name as soon as possible.
The mother on the other end of the line was silent, then asked how he was doing in China, asked when he would return to Brazil, and occasionally talked to him about his alcoholic father......
Tom listened patiently for a while, then hung up.
Placing the phone on the table, he glanced out the window at the sky, then looked down at the cigar box on the ground.
He closed his eyes.
…………………………
"Wow, I thought Huaxia was just as ...... as we were Brazil"
"I didn't expect Huaxia to have such a tall building!"
"Why don't there be slums in China?"
"Wow, is this a BMW, a Mercedes? There are so many cars in Huaxia...... I heard my grandfather say before that there are all ox-drawn carts in Huaxia! ”
"Is this a traffic light?"
"This mall is so big!"
“……”
Tom's friend is extraordinarily noisy.
Dressed in the cheapest clothes, they were extremely curious about everything in Huaxia, and they jumped up and down everywhere, making onlookers look sideways.
Tom wore a mask, stood up straight, and tried to keep a certain distance from his friends.
"Lacey! Clayte! When you meet the boss, don't show this kind of expression that you haven't been to the big city, the boss doesn't like people who are particularly poor......"
After picking out a few clothes for them, he looked at these two friends with unkempt hair and seemed out of place with everything around him, and his heart was inexplicably more irritable, but in the end, he looked at the two friends and reminded him with a deep breath.
"Dawa, since your boss is willing to spend money to invite us, it means that we have the value of being invited! Why do you have to be hypocritical? A short man in a T-shirt with dark skin like wheat was very uncomfortable when he heard Tom's words.
"Lacey, I'm not called Dawa in Huaxia, my name is Tom. Smith! ”
"I remember that Ling's Chinese name was not Jeton. Smith? ”
"That's not the name of Huaxia, that's the name when I came to study in China......"
"Why not Dawa? Dawa, since you went to high school, I feel that you have changed a little, and after coming to Huaxia to go to college, I think you have become more powerful! ”
"This is the real me, I'm different from you, in front of the boss, if you dare to call me Dawa, I'll let you go back now!"
"Don't, we finally came to Huaxia to play for free, don't ...... like this"
“……”
Tom took a deep breath.
looked at the soil bun Lacey, and there was an indescribable mustard in his heart.
Especially after getting into the taxi, he looked at Lacey and Clayte looking east and west, and immediately shook his head.
He closed his eyes.
The taxi soon arrived at Yan Shishi, and he gave the driver a tip under the driver's strange gaze.
The two companions were puzzled and got out of the car and asked Tom why......
The driver didn't even ask them for a tip, so why did Tom have to tip?
Tom just pulled the mask and buttoned the brim down, and didn't answer anything.
He took them into the academy and walked to the [NC Studio] next to the training base.
He saw Zhang Sheng sitting in the head of the office.
He introduced the names of the two to Zhang Sheng.
"This is my friend, Lacey, this is Clayte, Clay is mute and can't hear anything......"
"Oh!"
Tom introduced his friend in English.
Lacey can't understand English, nor can he understand Chinese, when he saw Zhang Sheng for the first time, he felt that Zhang Sheng's eyes were very deep, and after simply glancing at himself, he was inexplicably uncomfortable, but this discomfort only lasted for a moment, or even less than a second, and then he felt that this Chinese smile made him very comfortable, and there was an indescribable affinity.
He was unconsciously infected.
The mute next to him, Clayter looked at Zhang Sheng and Tom suspiciously, and then sat down.
He couldn't understand what this Huaxia and Tom were communicating......
In the middle of the conversation, Tom earnestly translated with him in Portuguese......
It seems that this Huaxia boss wants to hire them to do something in Brazil, as if to offer him a job as a carpenter.
He glanced at Zhang Sheng and Tom suspiciously, and always felt that this Chinese man was talking to his friend about more than these things, but because he couldn't understand it, he could only nod along with Tom's translation, and then shook his head.
The mute Barclet next to him was at a loss and watched everywhere the whole time.
He only knew that he had come to Huaxia with Lacey, but he didn't know what kind of projects he was playing.
Time passed little by little.
Lacey looked at Tom and nodded, while exchanging something with Zhang Sheng, at first the conversation seemed to be quite pleasant, but then chatting, he found that the smile on the face of the Chinese man gradually disappeared, and looked at him and Tom in silence.
The office suddenly became depressed.
Then, he saw that the eyes of this Chinese man were extremely sharp, like a sword, staring at Tom.
At first, Tom wanted to fight something, but it seemed that he couldn't stand Zhang Sheng's sharp gaze, and began to gradually lower his head.
"What's wrong, Da, Tom?"
Lesy sensed something was wrong with the atmosphere, then looked at Tom blankly and asked the question.
Tom didn't respond to his words, but said a few words in English to the Chinese people in front of him, but the Chinese people in front of him were still silent.
The Huaxia narrowed his eyes.
Invisibly, there seemed to be a huge pressure, which suddenly made Ryan a little breathless.
Although he didn't understand what was going on, Ryan knew that Tom seemed to have some estrangement or contradiction with this Huaxia man, and even vaguely, he had a hunch that Tom seemed to have deceived this Huaxia man about something.
He continued to look at Tom.
Tom's eyes became more and more afraid to look at Zhang Sheng, but he subconsciously dodged, at first he could still defend something while dodging, but then the voice of defense became softer and softer.
Quiescence!
There was a deathly silence for about a minute.
He saw the Huaxia people sigh slightly.
The momentum that overwhelmed him disappeared in an instant.
………………………………
"Tom, tell me, why are you deceiving me!"
in the office.
Zhang Sheng asked Tom's two friends to go to the side to rest, and then he squinted his eyes at Tom.
"I didn't deceive you, I told my friends everything you told me!" Tom kept his head down.
"What you're communicating in Portuguese, do you think I don't know?" Zhang Sheng was still squinting at Tom.
"I ......"
When Zhang Sheng said this, Tom suddenly broke out in a cold sweat behind his back.
He raised his head and looked at Zhang Sheng in horror: "Boss, you, do you know Portuguese?" ”
Zhang Sheng looked at Tom: "I don't know Portuguese!" ”
"Well, you ......" Tom only felt that his heart was beating so fast that he was almost suffocating.
"When you lie or have a weak heart, the other hand will always subconsciously dodge back......"
“……”
"You've been repeating this action as you translated my words......"
“……”
"We will always have some small actions to protect ourselves, and I can even guess what you said to Lacey through your small actions and expressions......
“……”
"You didn't tell Lacey that we wanted to do a [Southern California International Documentary Film Awards] in Brazil, nor did you say [South American International Film Festival], let alone the remuneration......"
“……”
"You're probably talking about getting Lacey to listen to you and do some carpentry or some other job, right?"
“……”
Tom's whole body was subconsciously shocked!
The back was instantly covered with cold sweat.
He wanted to explain, but the words reached his throat, and he couldn't explain it.
"Don't think you're smart, and don't look down on Lacey, Mr. Tom, in a sense, your good friend Lacey, if you give him the right platform, he'll jump very high!"
Zhang Sheng stared at Tom.
The corners of Tom's mouth twitched slightly: "I, boss, I need money...... I don't have money to buy cigars now......"
"I didn't let you smoke a cigar!"
"However, you taught me to be a nobleman, I think, I can be a nobleman, noble, noble, I need a lot of money!"
“……”
Zhang Sheng looked at Tom and suddenly became excited.
Even the voice was shaking.
He seems to want to say goodbye to the past as quickly as possible!
Zhang Sheng calmly looked at Tom and looked at him quietly after saying everything: "People with low self-esteem use their appearance to modify their shortcomings......"
"I ......," Tom's lips moved, trying to defend himself, but there was nothing to defend after all.
"Tom, remember, no matter how rich we are in the future, we have to remember who we are!"
"Boss, I'...... That's right, I'm also for our career, I don't have to be a nobleman, I just think, if I act better, I become a real nobleman, it's good......"
"Perhaps, you need to return to ordinary life during this time......" Zhang Sheng looked at Tom, who was excited again, and shook his head with a smile.
"No, no, no! Boss, I, don't, I ......" After looking at Zhang Sheng's expression, Tom suddenly became uneasy, and quickly shook his head: "Boss, I, I can't return to that kind of life, I can still study, I ...... Boss, if I become an ordinary person, everyone will recognize me and know that I am an ordinary, Brazilian student...... Boss, it's bad for you, if I'm exposed and everyone knows it's a scam, then boss, you're ......"
"There are some things that you want to say carefully." Zhang Sheng looked at Tom with a smile.
"......" Tom swallowed again when the words came to his mouth.
Instinct told him that there were some things that he couldn't say in front of Zhang Sheng.
When he said it, Zhang Sheng, and even Zhang Sheng's related companies, would not be affected in any way, but he would ......
Zhang Sheng seems to have a back hand.
"Tom, take a good rest and don't think too much...... There are some things we can't rush! Zhang Sheng patted Tom on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Boss, I'm ......"
"Go ahead!"
"Boss, I'm sorry I said something excessive, but I think ......"
"Go and rest, next month's endorsement fee will hit your card."
"Good! Thank you owner! I'm going to work hard to learn everything! ”
"yes, okay."
When Tom heard this, his panic and uneasiness instantly became excited, and he quickly nodded, and then left the office.
In his thinking, since Zhang Sheng is willing to continue to give him next month's endorsement fee, he will not abandon him!
He is very important to Zhang Sheng, after all, he controls everything from Lin Xia's signing meeting to endorsements!
After Tom left the office, the smile on Zhang Sheng's lips disappeared in an instant.
He looked out the window, his eyes becoming extremely cold.
Then, the coldness was replaced by a burst of peace, vaguely disappointed.
"It's a pity that I coaxed ......"
(Asking for a monthly pass, the toad giant in second place felt the pressure of chrysanthemums, and we couldn't let him go!) We're going to stab him! )
