Chapter 75 (1/2)
”Master Mei, you've invited too many people here. We don't have a place to entertain them.” As soon as he came back, Lao Zhao, who was worried to death in the backstage, rushed forward to pull him aside.
”This...” Mei Lanfang looked at the crowded backstage and found that there were quite a lot of them.
When I was on stage before, the audience of the opera house was all around. The number of compatriots seemed to be so small. Now it's just another number.
Ooh, there are a hundred or so.
Seeing Mei Lanfang step down from the stage, Li Zitao quietly joins in with Lao Zhao, who had called them before, muttering incessantly.
”Master Mei, is there any trouble?”
”It's not a big deal.” After looking at Lao Zhao, Mei Lanfang said apologetically: ”I didn't expect that my compatriots were so warm and didn't prepare to greet so many people.”
”Why don't we just talk about the old here and get together in groups some other day?” ”Anyway, you still have two weeks to perform here. I'm not in a hurry.”
Hearing that Mei Lanfang would be performing in New York for another two weeks, Li Zitao couldn't help but scold in his heart, ”the yellow cattle are really unreliable, and their hearts are black.”
”I'll arrange it.” Without waiting for the two men to discuss, Li Zitao interjected: ”Lawrence, call Liz and ask if there is anyone using the banquet hall tonight?”
”Charlie, I'm not your secretary.” Lawrence raised his hand in protest, but he still made a good phone call.
”Charlie, Liz said it would be done in 15 minutes.” Within two minutes, Lawrence brought back good news.
”If you go there, it's just the right time.” Taking out his pocket watch, Li Zitao gives Mei Lanfang the right to decide.
After all, he is the protagonist of today, and Li Zitao does not mean to dominate.
”Thank you very much, sir. What's your name?” Lao Zhao bowed politely.
”My name is Li. Call me Charlie. When we are abroad, we will do as the Romans do.” Li Zitao leans forward slightly and holds his fist.
”I'll arrange it first. You're chatting.” Lao Zhao said goodbye and took the big guy to the Ritz Hotel.
”Thank you very much, Mr. Li. I'll ask Mr. Zhao to settle the bill later.” Mei Lanfang is good at making friends and has a lot of money.
Although on the stage, he is always dressed as a man in a woman's costume and plays a role as a Dan character. He is also a gentle gentleman when he meets people, but he still has a heroic chivalry in his heart.
If not, how could it be that when the little devils invaded China, they would rather die than perform on stage.
”You're welcome. I have some businesses in America.” Li Zitao said modestly.
Because the two people were communicating in Chinese, Lawrence had to do something about it. In the end, Zhao Yaozhong couldn't stand it and helped him translate.
”Yes, don't be polite to him. Charlie is a billionaire.” When he learned what he said from Zhao Yaozhong, Lawrence said naturally.
”What?” Naturally, Zhao Yaozhong did not get up.
A billionaire???
Friend, are you talking about money or paper?
Looking back at Li Zitao with innocent face, Zhao Yaozhong suddenly felt a heavy pressure and rushed to himself.
”Brother Zhao, is this Mei Lanfang didn't understand the meaning of Lawrence.
”Mr. Lee is a billionaire,” Lawrence said After swallowing his saliva, Zhao Yaozhong finally woke up from the shock.
“……” It's Mei Lanfang's turn to be silly, a billionaire. Is this a playbook?
”Money is nothing but external objects. It's just a coincidence. Ha ha...” Li Zitao smile some embarrassment, this beep to the sudden and not prevent, he is a little reluctant to pretend.
However, Mei Lanfang was also very human and soon came to his senses. Li Zitao admired and worried about the performance of the two men, especially Zhao Yaozhong.
Li Zitao also wants to win over the talented man. But judging from his performance, money alone can't move the other party.
Even if it was put in the 21st century, he would know a billionaire, and he would talk about it together. He would be so excited that he couldn't sleep.
”I didn't expect that among the Chinese people like me, there are still people who can achieve so much in the United States.” Mei Lanfang said with some emotion, and looked at Li Zitao with a little more approval.
In terms of art, Mei Lanfang's achievements today are no less than that of Li Zitao. He is a master of opera art and a pioneer in promoting and shaping the quintessence of Chinese culture.
But the latter, Li Zitao, will feel inferior to himself. Sometimes, there are always some things that can't be measured with money.
”Mr. Mei, you don't have to be humble. Your achievements today are not much worse than brother Li's, but I have achieved nothing, ah...” Zhao Yaozhong hung his head in self mockery.
”Brother Zhao doesn't have to be like this. If a man is alive, he can achieve great things as long as he has faith. I heard elder brother Li say that you are studying for a doctor's degree.
he is also famous in American Physics. Heming's knowledge is very shallow and he travels like a mountain. Although he doesn't know the inside story, it's not easy to think about it.”
