"Who would have thought that you would still be playing a clown here, the famous pioneer of the clown dance?"
Xiao Peng smiled and handed Tommy a cigar.
Tommy took the cigar, lit it, took a deep breath and exclaimed, "Wow, nice cigar, sir, I don't know what to call you?"
” "My name is Xiao Peng, and it's a pleasure to meet you."
Xiao Peng said.
"Oh?
Mr.
Xiao, are you also a dance lover?
Tommy asked.
Xiao Peng shook his head: "My clumsy appearance just likes to watch."
You guys danced so well!
” Tommy was very happy and said, "Wow, thank you for the compliment."
Xiao, I listened to what you said, are you from Huaxia?
Not Chinese?
” "Yes, I'm from Huaxia, and I'm here to play in the Stars and Stripes."
Xiao Peng said: "I didn't expect to see such a wonderful performance, this is my unexpected joy."
Hey, the girl dancing now。。。。。。
Isn't it her birthday today?
I was crying so hard just now, but now I'm so happy when I dance.
What an emotional girl. ” Tommy put away the smile on his face: "Actually, today is not her birthday, but her sister's death day."
Her sister was a member of our original dance troupe, and on this day in '02, she was only 15 years old, and her 13-year-old friend was shot at the same time.
They just went to the store and were shot so inexplicably, can you imagine?
An excellent dancer has all the excellent qualities of a dancer, superior physical conditions, a strong sense of musicality, excellent body coordination, and an unparalleled passion for clown dancing.
She should have a long and wonderful life!
” Xiao Peng didn't know what to say.
But Tommy is a good person, the little girl in his group has passed away for so many years, and he still commemorates it every year.
"Why are those people so cruel?
How could you attack such a young girl?
Xiao Peng was a little shocked.
Tommy sighed and said, "Their father, who used to be a gang member, was a member of the 'og', probably his father's enemy wanted to find someone to get revenge, so he shot them, and both of them were killed.
Of course, this is just a guess, it is also possible that the gunman just drove around the street and shot casually, as for whether it was an old man or a child, they didn't care at all, they just came to the wrong place at the wrong time, damn it, God knows what it was for!
” "This girl's name is Mary, right?
It was a good jump!
Xiao Peng said.
Tommy the Clown laughed, "It's a family inheritance."
Their mother used to be from our company, and then after Marike was born, she left the company, and Quinissa joined the company, oh, the girl who died, and after her sister was shot, she made Quinissa's death day her birthday in honor of her sister.
We clown dance troupes are like a family, and we have been going on forever, can we see the boy with the pattern on his face?
” Xiao Peng's speechless expression: "Tommy, please, all of them have patterns on their faces." ” "Haha, well, blame me for not saying it carefully, it's the one who took off his shirt and danced, his name is Larry, he's been with me since I started the company, he's in his thirties now, he's a father of three, but he's still a member of our company.
The youngest child in our company was only six years old.
Her grandmother and mother used to be part of our dance company.
Tommy the Clown explained.
"It's a good tradition."
What else can Xiao Peng do but nod?
Tommy said: "Shaw, tomorrow night, at the West End Gymnasium, we have a 'War Zone', which is our match against the 'Nannuta Joker'.
If you have time, you can check it out. ” Xiao Peng didn't directly agree: "Tommy, if I have time, I will definitely go to see it." ” "Wait a minute."

Tommy the Clown ran back to his car, and soon ran back again, holding a few tickets in his hand: "This is the family ticket in the front row, and you can sit in the front row and watch it with this ticket." ” Xiao Peng was stunned: "Why give it to me?"
This ticket should be in demand, right?
How much?
I'll give you money!
” Tommy the clown waved his hand: "No need, Xiao, this is for you, some people like clown dances, especially the Chinese people on the other side of the ocean, which makes me feel flattered!"
After speaking, he raised the cigar in his hand: "You invite me to smoke such a good cigar, this is my return gift." ” Xiao Peng listened to Tommy's words from the clown, didn't say anything, and said to Tommy: "Okay, then I'm welcome, okay Tommy, I'll go first, if I go, we'll see you tomorrow night." ” Tommy didn't keep Xiao Peng, and said a few polite words to Xiao Peng, and watched Xiao Peng get into the car and leave.
At this time, the man called Larry came over: "Tommy, what are you talking to that Chinese guy (CHK)?"
” Tommy glared at Larry, "Larry, you're also in your thirties now, you've talked a lot, and you want to be a good example for the rest of your brothers and sisters, and I don't want to hear the word 'chk' from your mouth in the future." ” In the English context, the word chk is an insulting appellation, which translates to mean 'Chinese guy', but the discriminatory connotation of the word is similar to the 'nigr' (), which is the most taboo for blacks, and both are words that are resisted.
When Jeremy Lin disliked Cyclone Lin in New York, a media outlet used the word 'chk' in their reporting, which caused an uproar.
But this is a big deal because Jeremy Lin is a star, what if it is an ordinary person?
Now in the Stars and Stripes, there are many people who call Chinese people 'chk'.
Although 'chk' and 'nigr' are both insulting words, the consequences of saying them are different, black people can call each other 'nigr', but other people can say 'nigr' to black people?
Directly take out the gun and clean you up in minutes, believe it or not?
And now the Stars and Stripes seem to be quite sensitive to racial discrimination, if you say the word 'nigr' in public, I am afraid that this person will not only lose his job, but also be banned from his respective industry, for example, the former boss of the NBA Clippers, who lost his job because the racial discrimination recording was exposed。。。。。
And the consequences of saying the word 'chk' are much easier.
What do Chinese Americans do best?
It's okay to say it's forbearing, and it's bad to say it's cowardly, anyway, it's a big thing and a small thing, just say it, I won't have a piece of meat, what are you doing with that?
Therefore, almost all Chinese who have lived or lived abroad have been called 'chk'.
This is all too common in the Stars and Stripes.
Even in the official video taken by the NBA star to congratulate the Chinese New Year, Redick, the star guard of the 76ers, directly used the word 'chk'.
It should be noted that this is an official video, there are so many photographers, editors, lighting engineers and other staff on the scene, in this context, the wrong words in a video dedicated to Chinese fans to greet the New Year are still released after so many people, there are only two possibilities: Or is it because Reddick usually has a bad attitude towards the staff, and everyone doesn't remind him when they hear it?
Or simply the attitude of the grassroots staff of the NBA league towards Huaxia is like this!
Based on Xiao Peng's knowledge of the Stars and Stripes, he is more inclined to believe that the latter is the correct answer.
Larry pouted, "Tommy, don't be nervous, they're not here."
Why do you pay so much attention to him?
I see you gave them a front-row ticket?
What does that Huaxia man do?
” Tommy shook his head: "I don't know what he does, you know me, all the yellow people look the same in my eyes." ” "Then why do you still attach so much importance to him giving him a ticket in the front row?"
Larry was puzzled.
Tommy lit up the cigar in his hand: "Even if I don't know what he does, I know that a Chinese man, surrounded by a white bodyguard, smoking a cigar for dozens of dollars a piece, wearing a Prada, it will not be a simple person." ” "Just a few dozen dollars a cigar?
I see they're all smoking this thing.
Larry's eyes widened.
Tommy pointed to the logo on it: "Gurkha cigars, the front half is wrapped in gold paper, in the shape of fish-like, there is only one such cigar, that is, the Gurkha 'ammunition depot', Larry, you are not a child now, in the future, the dance company will need you to lead the development, vision is really important!"
Although I don't know his identity, I can clearly see that those two white men are his bodyguards, and those two bodyguards are also smoking this cigar, which shows that he is a bold rich man!
No matter what he does, having a good relationship with such a person will only do us good, not harm!
Do you understand?
” Larry nodded, and suddenly made a smile: "Tommy, let me taste this cigar." ” Tommy: "。。。。。。
"It seems that the idea of handing over the dance company to Larry has to be pushed back, and now that it's like this, it's not at all at ease!
At this time, Xiao Peng didn't know that someone was talking about him, and his car didn't drive long before he was stopped.
Of course, it wasn't a robbery or anything like that that held him back, but three black girls who wanted a ride.
Although Devin persuaded Xiao Peng not to let them get into the car, Xiao Peng still asked Devin to stop and let the girls get into the car.
A few of them were going to Hollywood, and Xiao Peng happened to drop by, so he sent them there.
Devon and Michael were very nervous about whether the girls would be bad for Xiao Peng, but Xiao Peng didn't care.
Aren't they just a few girls?
Can you still eat yourself?

But not long after letting them get into the car, Xiao Peng felt regretful.
It's not that a few girls threaten him, it's 。。。。。。
Tinima's noisy!
