Yu Dong didn't take the boss's reminder and his weird expression seriously, but Jimmy became interested: "Boss, where is the cassette machine? Let me hear it."
The boss smiled and brought him a cassette player and personally put on the headphones for him.
Jimmy listened to the cassette carefully, while Yu Dong asked the boss: "Is this cassette created by the person just now?"
"Yeah, who else would care so much about this cassette besides himself?" the boss said with a smile.
"His name is Dan Brown?"
"That's how he introduced himself, and his name is on the cassette."
"Is he working nearby?"
The boss shook his head, "It used to be, but not anymore. He moved with his girlfriend... now he seems to be in a... school..."
To be honest, Yu Dong couldn't hear the boss's words very clearly because he was speaking faster and faster and there were some awkward words.
Yu Dong was trying to get Jimmy to take off his headphones and translate for him, but Jimmy yelled, "What the hell is this?"
"Is this music?" Jimmy took off his headphones, pointed at them and asked the boss: "Are you sure this cassette is not damaged?"
The boss shrugged: "You have already paid."
The implication is that things cannot be retreated.
"Let me listen." Yu Dong curiously took the headphones.
After listening for a while, he smiled and said, "It's just some synthetic sounds, with some animal sounds in it."
"I thought..." Jimmy shook his head. Seeing his boss smiling so weirdly, he thought there was something good in it.
Jimmy had seen the boss's smile just now on the faces of many adult CD dealers.
"Okay, help me ask the boss where Mr. Brown is now and how to find him."
"Are you interested in him? Dong, don't blame me for putting it bluntly, there is no way this guy's music will be famous."
"At least the idea is good, isn't it?"
"What's so special about synthetic sounds...forget it, let me ask you."
Jimmy turned around and asked the boss. Although the boss had already said it, he might have sold something, so he was in a good mood and said it again.
After asking, Jimmy said to Dong: "The boss actually doesn't know. He only knows that Brown returned to his hometown some time ago and became a middle school teacher. He came back to do some things in the past two days. He didn't say what he did specifically."
Yu Dong nodded with some disappointment. In fact, he wanted to stop Dan Brown just now, but he couldn't seem to find any reason to stop him.
Seeing his disappointment, Jimmy smiled and said, "If you like this kind of music, I'll introduce you to a few studios later."
"talk later."
…
When Yu Dong and his group arrived in New York, it was the afternoon of the day before the signing.
On the way to the hotel, Jimmy asked the driver to drive past the Little Bear Bookstore. Seeing the huge poster hanging in the bookstore, several students screamed with excitement.
"YU is so big, this is so awesome."
"This poster is bigger than our classroom!"
"It's a pity that there is no photo of the teacher, otherwise the poster would look better."
"You can't post photos. If you post photos, others will think you are some movie star."
"Yes, the teacher is so handsome."
"That's right, so you have to help your wife keep an eye on Teacher Yu to prevent him from being seduced by a woman from a foreign land. I heard that female book lovers in the United States are crazy."
Yu Dong glanced at Liu Changmin: "Old Liu, please stop making noise."
"Hahaha."
…
After arriving at the hotel, everyone went to their rooms to rest.
Yu Dong sat in the room for a while, then Wang Kuo knocked on the door and came in.
"Wang Kuo, is something wrong?"
Wang Kuo said with some embarrassment, "It's my first time in New York and I want to go out for a walk. We don't have long in the United States. I want to experience this country firsthand."
In fact, Wang Kuo's idea was very good to Yu Dong, but they were not here for a trip this time, and there were no arrangements for them to go out in advance.
"Wang Kuo, I can understand your thoughts, but Jimmy will be very busy today, and the only translator must stay at the hotel to prevent any emergencies. Unless we all go out together, but I think,
I’m afraid not everyone wants to go out.”
Wang Kuo nodded, "I asked Li Huixiang and Wang Jin, they both want to rest in the hotel."
"Yes, they are all tired."
"But teacher, my English is not bad, and I also asked for Jimmy's and the hotel's phone number. It won't be a problem for me to go out alone. Teacher, we are adults, so there will be no problem. And I won't go far, just here
Let’s go shopping nearby and come back after dinner.” Wang Kuo said with a sincere look on his face.
In fact, Wang Kuo has changed a lot in the past two years. If he had been a freshman, he might not have come to ask for instructions at all and would have just run out.
But Yu Dong could not agree to his request, "I am your teacher and I need to be responsible for your personal safety. There are many opportunities to come to the United States, I don't care about this one. Didn't Spielberg also invite you to come and play at any time?
, when we have some time back, let’s come to the United States again, and I’ll ask Jimmy to arrange a few more people to take you around.”
"Oh, okay, I understand." Wang Kuo said a little disappointed.
"Have a good rest, go back and summarize your work during this period, and don't let this experience go to waste."
"Then I..."
While Wang Kuo was talking, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"I'll open the door."
The door opened, and Jimmy saw Wang Kuo there, so he smiled and said, "Xiao Wang, you are here too."
"I came to the teacher to talk about something."
Jimmy nodded, without asking Wang Kuo what happened, and said directly to Dong: "I'm going to the YU Umbrella Reading Club now. Do you want to come with me?"
"No need, go ahead." Yu Dong shook his head.
Jimmy smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't go...then I'll go there first."
When Wang Kuo on the side heard this, he rolled his eyes and asked hurriedly: "Teacher, can I go and have a look with Brother Ji?"
Yu Dong thought for a while and said, "Yes, as long as you are together."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Wang Kuo looked at Jimmy again, "Brother Ji, can I come with you?"
"Of course." Jimmy smiled, "But you can't run around, you must stay with me."
"No problem." Wang Kuo assured him by patting his chest.
…
Jeff Gonzalez and Hanes held a small meeting with a few core members to discuss tomorrow's autograph session.
"How many members will attend the autograph session tomorrow?"
Assistant Tom Hui reported: "There are 373 members confirmed to attend the autograph session, and there are still more than 200 people to be determined. It is estimated that more than 400 members will eventually attend."
Jeff nodded and asked again: "Where is the petition? How many names have been signed now?"
"About 30,000 names, a total of 40 banners. Some banners from other cities may not be delivered."
"There's no need to send them over. It's impossible to bring all the forty banners over tomorrow. The Little Bear Bookstore is only so big, so just bring twenty banners."
"It's better to take them all with you," Hanes, who was sitting in the main seat, said, "Hang them up if you can, and if you can't hang them up, they won't take up space. Tomorrow is a good opportunity to put some blank banners on the street.
Passers-by can write their names at any time."
"Then do as the president says. The most important thing is to arrange the manpower to maintain order. You can't rely entirely on the jc."
"Don't worry, two presidents, we have arranged for thirty members to maintain order."
Jeff and Hanes looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
In fact, these things have been explained before, but as the autograph session is approaching, they don't want to make any mistakes.
This time, in order to highlight the role of the book club in the book signing event, they put a lot of effort into making uniform costumes for the members who maintain order, with the YU Umbrella Book Club's logo printed on them.
The clothing was also carefully selected and they decided that everyone would wear this for future reading club activities.
When the meeting was about to end, Jeff looked at his watch. Jimmy had called him before and said he wanted to come. He waited for a long time but did not see Jimmy coming.
"Let's adjourn the meeting. Just hold on, everyone. We'll be able to relax for a while by the end of tomorrow."
Jeff and Hanes left the conference room together. Hanes was also thinking about Jimmy's arrival, "Why hasn't Mr. James come yet?"
"It should be soon. Let's go to the office to sit down first."
The two of them were talking when they suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind: "Two presidents, you are well."
Harnes turned around, first saw Jimmy, and then saw the black-haired young man next to Jimmy.
He suddenly froze.
Could it be...
According to the information, YU is nearly six feet tall and in his twenties.
The black-haired young man in front of me is basically the same as what is said in the information.
At this point in time, here, Jimmy was suddenly followed by a young man with black hair, and Haines couldn't help but make an association.
Jeff, who turned around after Hearns, also noticed the dark-haired young man next to Jimmy, and had the same idea as Hearns.
"YU!"
Jeff called out first, and Hanes was stunned. Is it really YU? Maybe Jeff had seen YU's photos before?
"YU!" Hanes also shouted.
The two of them ran to the black-haired young man in three steps and two steps, and each of them grabbed a hand.
"YU, welcome to us—no, welcome to your reading club."
"We finally got you here. Everyone in this room is a fan of your book."
The two of them made a lot of noise and quickly attracted the attention of others.
Especially the two words of "YU" they shouted directly aroused everyone's nerves.
"YU is here? Where is he?"
"What, YU is here?"
In just half a minute, a dozen people arrived at the "crime scene". No need to ask anymore, there was a young man with black hair present, and they recognized "YU" at a glance.
Wang Kuo was so frightened that he didn't dare to move. Everything happened so fast. By the time he reacted, people had already surrounded him.
He looked at Jimmy next to him, who smiled as if he was watching a show.
Wang Kuo could only explain, "I, I'm not YU."
At this time, Jimmy burst out laughing, "Jeff, Harns, you two are so funny, you just ran up to recognize someone without asking. This is not YU, but one of his students. You can call him Wang."
"
The scene suddenly became a little awkward. Jeff and Hanes held Wang Kuo's hand and didn't know whether to let go. Hanes glanced at Jeff and thought to himself, "How dare you call someone if you haven't seen YU?"
In the end, Jeff reacted faster and said with a smile, "Welcome, welcome, since you are a student of YU, you are one of our own. If YU is not here, you are his complete representative."
Others saw the situation and followed Jeff's words.
"Yes, yes, you are the representative of YU."
"Welcome the King."
"Let's go and talk in my office."
Jeff took Wang Kuo and Jimmy and quickly fled the "crime scene".
It was an own goal. Although everyone was disappointed, they also found it quite interesting.
And it’s not like I gained nothing. Although this person is not from YU, he is a student of YU.
Wang Kuo was really shocked by the atmosphere in the reading club.
When I was in school, everyone always said that Teacher Yu was more famous and more famous, and various sales data could also be seen in news reports.
But hearing it from others and seeing it with your own eyes are completely different things.
…
The next morning, Yu Dong and his party appeared at the door of Little Bear Bookstore.
At first, the readers queuing up at the door did notice a few of them, but they didn't dare to recognize them randomly. After all, East Asians are not uncommon in this area.
It was only when Yu Dong and others entered the bookstore under the leadership of the bookstore owner that they caused a sensation.
"YU! YU!"
In fact, they didn't know who YU was. Most of them just heard someone shouting and started cheering along.
"Would you like to say hello to them?" Jimmy suggested from the side.
"Can."
Yu Dong nodded, turned around and waved to the long team.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As soon as they see him waving, readers will naturally know who YU is.
"I said he must be YU. I recognized him at a glance just now. His aura was different from others."
"It's true. Just look at his hairstyle and you can tell he is a writer."
"I heard that he is still a university teacher. Although he looks young, he feels just like our university teachers."
"He looks about twenty years old."
"East Asians look very young. According to the information, they are twenty-six years old."
…
"YU, the signing is on the second floor. Do you want me to take you around the store?"
Entering the bookstore, the store manager Hal said with a smile.
"Sorry to trouble you, Hal. Thank you also for providing the venue for the autograph session and the poster. I saw it from far away."
Hal waved his hands repeatedly, "You're welcome, this is what we should do. It's an honor for Little Bear Bookstore to host your book signing. If there are some things I didn't do well, I hope you can forgive me."
"very good already."
The first floor of Little Bear Bookstore is very bright, and you can see the whole thing at a glance from the door. After everyone walked a few steps, Hal introduced the situation on the first floor, and then took Yu Dong and the others up to the second floor.
The second floor is the highlight. In addition to serving as today's autograph signing point, the second floor also has a "YU Zone".
When introducing the "YU Section", Hal was very proud, "I think that if I search all over North America, I won't be able to find another bookstore with such a section. Readers who usually like you can communicate and discuss here. They
You can find your books here anytime and anywhere, and there are even some newspapers reporting your news."
After listening to Hal's introduction, Jimmy smiled and said: "This special area is very good, but I think that in a few years, the area of ​​​​this special area will be a bit small. I believe that YU books will be filled here in the future."
Hal felt that Jimmy was bragging, but he was too embarrassed to point it out, so he could only go along and said: "That's for sure. We will also consider expanding the area of ​​the special area in the future."
After introducing the second floor, Hal wanted to show Yu Dong and the others upstairs, but Yu Dong said: "No, let's wait until the book signing is over before we go up to see it. The weather today is still a bit cold, so book fans
It’s not good to stay outside for too long.”
Yu Dong turned to look at Jimmy again, "Didn't Universal arrange a press conference? Let's start early."
"Okay, let me let the reporters come in first. There are quite a few reporters here today. Some are invited by Universal and some are here on their own. When reporters ask questions later, I will be next to you. I touch the left side of my cheek to represent you.
If you need to answer seriously, I'll touch my right cheek and you can perfunctoryly answer."
Yu Dong smiled and said: "Let's look at the problem."
