Chapter 1,683 Call Me Dad?
1683
"Lao, Mr. Lawrence, are you saying that you really have a master? Or is it called Xu Taiping?" the white woman asked in surprise.
"Yeah, you didn't expect that? Haha!" Lawrence said with a smile. More than half a year ago, he was forced to recognize Xu Taiping as his master. At that time, Lawrence regarded this matter as a shame. Later, the TV station broadcast the relationship between him and Xu Taiping. During the recording of the interview show, he specifically said hello and asked the TV station to edit out the apprenticeship process. However, despite this, many people still knew that he was forced to apprentice with a Chinese security guard. Fortunately Unfortunately, this incident was just passed around as a joke for a while and was quickly forgotten.
Because of this incident, Lawrence fired his agent. Although the agent had no fault, Lawrence had to have someone to vent to, right?
However, who would have thought that the young Chinese man who interviewed him on TV would become the richest man in China not long ago?
This is an extremely awesome status. Even Westerners who always think highly of themselves must pay attention to this status, because this status represents huge wealth.
Lawrence actually only found out about this today.
As a Westerner, he actually has nothing to do with China. He is more concerned about what movies he will participate in next, what shows he will appear on, and which big-name artists he will cooperate with. The reason why today we know that Xu Taiping has become the richest man in China , it was also because Xu Taiping's team came to Los Angeles. Many people in Los Angeles were spreading the news. Lawrence also heard the news, and then suddenly discovered that the richest man in China who many people had rumored to be leading the team was actually his master.
This is really a big pie falling from the sky!
Which relationship is the most reliable these days? One is the relationship between family members, and then there is the relationship between master and disciple. Isn’t there an old saying in China? Once a teacher, always a father. Lawrence used to think that Xu Taiping was just a loser security guard, so he was shy to tell others about his relationship with Xu Taiping. As a result, Xu Taiping has now become the richest man in China. In other words, his master is Lawrence. Now that he is the richest man in China, this change is not that big.
When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, and the master becomes the richest man, then the disciple's status will definitely undergo a huge change. For Lawrence, this pie falling from the sky will make him feel comfortable.
He, Lawrence, has already withdrawn from the inner circle of Haolaiwu. This time, he is unlikely to be able to use his status to make a good comeback.
Lawrence felt happy every time he thought of this.
"Indeed, I really didn't expect it." The white woman wiped the sweat from her forehead, and then said, "Well, Mr. Lawrence, what, the person who called just now, it seems, his name is Xu, something like that, said It’s your master.”
"Huh?!" Lawrence turned around and looked at the white woman behind him, not even caring about the makeup on her face.
"Say it again?" Lawrence asked.
"The man who called just now said he was your master. What's his name? I didn't remember it," the white woman said.
"Xu Taiping? Is your name Xu Taiping?!" Lawrence asked excitedly.
"It seems like it is, and it seems like... it's not." The white woman said.
"You! You bastard, what did you say to him?" Lawrence asked.
"I, I just told him not to harass you, Mr. Lawrence. I really didn't expect that the other party was really your master. His voice sounded very young." The white woman said with a cry. .
"You guy, give me your cell phone. What's the other party's phone number?" Lawrence asked.
"Phone?" The white woman quickly picked up the phone and looked at it, then said, "The number is xxxxxx."
Lawrence pressed the phone number as he listened.
The call went smoothly, and it took a while before the person on the other end picked up the phone.
"Hello!"
As soon as he heard this voice, Lawrence shivered immediately. Although he had not heard this voice for a long time, when it rang again, Lawrence was immediately sure that this voice was the voice of his lovely and respectable master. ah!
Thinking about it, this sound almost became Lawrence's nightmare. After the recording of that program, Lawrence often heard this sound in his dreams. Every time he heard it, it was the beginning of a nightmare. But now, this sound is like the sound of nature. The same thing made Lawrence smarter and happier.
"Master!" Lawrence opened his mouth and shouted the words that the two men had never shouted again since becoming his master.
"Oh? Is it Lawrence?" A voice that seemed a little surprised, but also a little calm came from the other end of the phone.
This is not the sound of a master who has not seen his dear disciple for a long time!
His agent must have offended his master, so he acted so coldly!
Lawrence glared at the agent next to him fiercely, then said with a smile, "It's me, Master, you still remember me, I'm so happy!"
"Hey, I remember you, I definitely remember you. You and I are the only disciples. However, it is very sad to be a teacher. You did not tell the people around you about being a teacher. It seems that you think It's embarrassing for you to be my apprentice, and it's very sad to be your master!" Xu Taiping sighed on the other end of the phone.
"Master, no, absolutely not!!" Lawrence said excitedly, "I am a new agent, so she doesn't know about my relationship with you. I often talk to all my friends around me. They said, I have become a disciple of a very powerful martial arts master in China. My master is not only very skilled, but he is also willing to help others like a superman. There are many masters in this world, but those who are as willing to help others as you are are too much. Young Master, every time I think about what Master did for us more than half a year ago, I feel moved. Master, I will be proud to be your disciple for the rest of my life, really!"
"Lawrence, I'm so happy that you can say that!" Xu Taiping's voice seemed to have become much gentler.
As soon as he felt the change in Xu Taiping's voice, Lawrence immediately said, "There is a saying in China, once a teacher is always a father, you are my master, so in my heart, you are like a father!"
"Really? Then...call dad to listen." Xu Taiping said.
“…” Lawrence on the other side of the phone was suddenly embarrassed.
Call me daddy? This... how can this be called an export? Although Western countries don't care much about this kind of ethics, calling someone younger than yourself dad seems... a bit too much, right? I think Lawrence, after all, was once a superstar in the United States, but he has been on the Grammy stage and won Hollywood awards. Isn't it too insulting for him to condescend to call a Chinese man in his early thirties dad?
Lawrence thought about it and said, "...Dad..."
"Okay, okay, I'm just kidding you!" Xu Taiping on the other end of the phone laughed.
Lawrence quickly swallowed the word that he hadn't shouted yet, then glanced at the white woman next to him and said, "Why don't you get out of here, are you staying here to be an eyesore?"
"Yes, yes!" The woman quickly turned and left.
"Master, I heard someone say that you have come to Luo City, right? Master, this Luo City is my home, and that is your home. How could you not tell me when you came to Luo City? I worship you as my home." Master, I have been your disciple for so long, but I have never done anything to help you, let alone fulfilled my filial piety. Master, no matter how busy you are this time, and how accomplished you are, I hope you can Take some time and let me, apprentice, be filial to you!" Lawrence said.
"There will be a chance!" Xu Taiping said, "The main reason I came here this time is for my movie to be selected for the Oscars at Haolaiwu. At that time, I may need you to help me introduce some people. I heard that you are in Haolai I have been in the house for decades, so I must have some connections, right?"
"That's for sure. I know all the people on the Oscar committee. I will be the matchmaker. There will be absolutely no problem. Master, if you need anything, please let me know at any time and I will help you contact them right away!" Lawrence said.
"Okay, this is settled. By the way, I'm going to a dinner party tonight. Do you want to come with me?" Xu Taiping asked.
"Dinner? Together? It's...whose dinner?" Lawrence asked softly.
"Follow Reinhard," Xu Taiping said.
"Reinhardt?" Lawrence's brows twitched slightly, and then he said, "Master, why are you with this man?"
"Oh? Is there anything wrong with being with him?" Xu Taiping asked.
"You may not know that this person... is a senior cadre of an organization called the White K Society here in the United States. The White K Society is an organization for white people and only accepts white elites. This organization... does not treat people of other skin colors. They are not very friendly. They are even often criticized here in the United States. People in the White K Society generally do not take the initiative to contact people of other skin colors. Once they come into contact, they must have an agenda. Therefore, Master, Reinhardt is willing to follow Since you are together, I think there must be a plot against you!" Lawrence said.
"Is there still this matter?" Xu Taiping said with a smile, "Yunpeng didn't tell me about this matter. I don't know about it yet. Are you coming over? If you come over, let's have dinner together. Reinhardt said there will be a meeting in the evening. Many people from the upper class come.”
"Well, forget about eating. Master, I have a show to do in the evening. However, Master, as your disciple, I will give you a piece of advice. You must stay away from people in the Bai K Club. You must!" Lawrence said.
"I understand, then I'm going to eat first, and we'll talk later!" Xu Taiping said.
"OK!"
