Chapter 1006 (1/2)
Doctor is a man who attaches great importance to principle. He thinks that Tony should not use bribery. Tony also feels very aggrieved. He calls doctor an ungrateful jerk! They had a big fight for the third time and went back to their respective hotels.
After arriving at the next stop, Tony met two old friends in the theater. They talked in Italian and said that they would introduce Tony to a new job, so that he would not have to work for an old gangster!
Tony felt a little embarrassed and asked two friends to talk about it later.
In the evening, Tony was stopped by the doctor before going to the appointment. The doctor was a little scared at this time. He was afraid that Tony would leave himself!
Having been saved twice by Tony, Tony's status in his heart is like a patron saint, which gives him a strong sense of security.
The doctor talked with him in standard Italian and said that he thought his performance during this period was very good, so he wanted to give him a promotion and a raise!
He wanted to use this method to keep Tony, and Tony realized that he could understand his conversations with his friends during the day, but he pretended not to understand Italian, so he was afraid that he would be embarrassed.
Tony waved his hand with a smile and said, ”don't do that, doctor. I didn't mean to promise them. You've paid me enough. I'm just going to go downstairs and tell them to have a drink.”
Tony said, feeling a little funny, he never thought the doctor would value himself so much.
The doctor was relieved. At the same time, he was a little ashamed of using his promotion to tempt Tony to go with him. He also apologized for what happened last night.
After hearing the apology, Tony gently waved his hand and said, ”don't worry, doctor. The world is very complicated.”
The relationship between them became closer, just like two friends who had nothing to talk about.
Two people all the way south, each performance will cause a sensation! And Tony's letter writing level is also rapidly improving under the guidance of the doctor!
His wife shared Tony's letter with her family and friends, and every woman after listening was filled with envy.
At the end of a station, it began to rain cats and dogs at night. The police forced them to stop by the side of the road and ordered them to get off.
They said it was ”sunset town” and black people were not allowed to stay there after sunset. Tony spoke out to defend the doctor, causing dissatisfaction among the police.
Tony's name is Italian, the police ridicule his half black, caused Tony's counterattack.
As a result, both of them were taken to prison. For tonight's performance, the doctor had to call a friend of a senior official and let them out.
In the car, Tony thought the doctor was so powerful that he knew such powerful friends.
Doctor felt very ashamed, that friend is trying to change the status quo of the country, and he actually disturbed them for such a small matter! They have totally different ideas. The more you come and I go, the more fierce the quarrel!
Tony said I'm more black than you. You don't know your race at all. You don't even know what they like to eat, how to talk and what kind of music they like! You live in a castle. You don't have to worry about food, clothing and transportation.
But I have to work hard to earn money to support my family. Compared with you, I am more black!
The doctor's anger broke out and let him stop at the side of the road. In the rain, he roared angrily at Tony: ”I live in the castle, yes, alone! Live in the castle
”White people pay me to play the piano just because it satisfies their vanity!”
”But as long as I get off the stage, I'll be the nigger they despise the most!”
”I suffer discrimination alone, because I'm not black or white enough! I can't integrate into the black community, and the white people won't really accept me! ”
