America's Top Player

Chapter 12 Phil's Invitation

"Fxxk bro, why are you so excited? Is he your girlfriend?"

"That's not the case. I just advise you not to hit on her."

T-RAY sneered, "You're such a typical white trash. In our black community, women are all shared."

"You white trash are always so selfish!"

Li Ang wanted to refute, but he felt there was no need to explain, so he swallowed the words back.

T-RAY then said, "Forget it. I've been in this industry for so long, I'm tired of playing with women."

"Next, I will speed up the work of printing and releasing the album. Your first album will be out in as little as a week!"

The following week was particularly torturous for Li Ang. Putting aside the question of whether he could become famous with a record, he could no longer suppress his desire for money.

Aside from his fame spreading through the streets of Brownsville, his life hadn't really changed.

If there was any change at all, it was that Bonnie's attitude towards him was obviously different.

In the past, Bonnie would only be nice to Leon when she had physical needs, but otherwise she would be harsh and domineering like a lioness.

With the completion of the MV shooting, Li Ang seemed to be ready to take charge.

The master is not just talking, Bonnie has actually become his pet.

Even though she doesn't get off work until three in the morning every day, Bonnie will insist on getting up at eight in the morning to prepare breakfast for him.

Every time he saw Bonnie wearing an apron and crotchless T-pants frying bacon for him, Leon couldn't help but whisper behind her: "Snobbish woman!"

Power, wealth, fame. Once a man possesses these, he can make a woman go crazy for him. Li Ang has a deep understanding of this.

It was another uneventful evening, and Bonnie put on her "street clothes" and prepared to go out to work.

Before leaving, she gave Li Ang a wink and said, "I'm going out to work~"

"understood."

"I ordered pizza for you. I might be back late, so you don't have to save it for me if you're hungry."

"I'm hungry too. I won't leave any for you."

Bonnie was not annoyed by this answer, but smiled even more brightly.

She kissed Li Ang's cheek hard and said, "Your underwear is already very old. I will buy you two new ones after get off work. I know you like triangle ones."

"Fuck! When did I ever say that?"

After Bonnie left, Leon lay on the sofa with his head tilted. As soon as he lay down, his cell phone rang.

He sat up immediately as if he had been electrocuted. Normally, no one called him except Bonnie and T-ray.

Bonnie had just left at this time, who else could have called if not T-ray?

I picked up the phone and saw that the caller was Phil Bryan.

"Hello Mr. Phil, how have you been?"

"I'm fine. I heard your record has been printed and you're going to have a book signing soon. Congratulations, young man."

"This is all thanks to you. Without your professional guidance, the recording process would not have been so smooth!"

The two of them were playing Tai Chi with each other. Li Ang knew very well that the other party had called him not just to congratulate him.

This old fox is very experienced.

After a bunch of meaningless small talk, Phil suddenly paused and said in a deep voice, "I want to see you. Are you free now?"

Sure enough, the $1000 was not given for free. Leon immediately realized that Phil must have some needs for him.

After thinking for a moment, he agreed, "No problem, I also have many questions I want to ask you." No matter what Phil thought, there would be no danger in meeting him.

Having already been to the gang den on Chister Street, would you still be afraid of meeting an old white man who mingles with the upper class?
Although this guy's halo as the general manager of Epic Records is a thing of the past, his more than ten years of career must have allowed him to come into contact with a large number of people in the entertainment industry.

These resources happen to be what Li Ang needs most.

Phil's office is located in Brooklyn Heights in northwest Brooklyn, separated from Empire State Center Manhattan by only the East Coast River.

Although it is far from being comparable to Manhattan, it is actually more prosperous than most cities in the United States.

Luxury shopping malls, fine restaurants and even the headquarters of many large companies are located here.

In addition, the ratio of Chinese and white people here is the highest in the entire Brooklyn area, so the housing prices here are also ridiculously high. In recent years, there have even been luxury apartments priced at more than 3000 million US dollars.

The reason is that Manhattan, where every inch of land is valuable, has limited capacity and cannot accommodate the large number of ambitious people from all over the world.

If you are born in France, the pinnacle of your struggle is Paris;
In the UK it’s London;

In Germany it is Munich.
Once you can settle down in these cities, it means that you are already in the upper class of this country.

But New York is different!
The world's most competitive elites, the super-rich second generation who sit on the golden cradle.
Their ultimate ambition is New York.

"We're here. This is it."

33 Bond Street, located on the southern edge of Brooklyn Heights.

It's obviously a lot more desolate than the center of Brooklyn Heights, but it's still far better than Brownsville.

But Phil's office didn't seem so decent, even a little bit improper.

The pink and green neon sign features an image of a girl posing seductively.

"This place feels familiar to me."

Leon stood in front of the door and repeatedly confirmed whether he had found the wrong place. This place looked no different from the nightclub where Bonnie worked, and it even looked more provocative.

The only difference is that the signs here are lit even during the day.

Just as Li Ang was hesitating, the door of the shop was pushed open from the inside.

A plump Mexican woman, a cigarette between her lips, asked in a thin voice that didn't match her figure: "Want to play, white boy? The prices here are very fair."

"No ma'am, I'm looking for someone."

"Looking for someone? Why don't you come in and take a look? We have girls from all nationalities in the world here~" The Mexican woman puffed out her silicone-filled chest and said proudly, "No matter if they are black, white, Mexican girls or primitive people from the Brazilian Amazon jungle."

"I'm looking for a man, probably in his forties. Do you know Fei?"

Before Li Ang could finish, the Mexican woman interrupted him anxiously: "There's nothing wrong with men. Whether they are ladyboys or boylady..."

"You're finally here, Leon!"

Just when the atmosphere was a little awkward, Leon heard a call from Phil.

He looked up and saw Phil sticking his head out of the narrow window of the neon sign and waving at him.

"WTF"

Li Ang suddenly felt suspicious. Phil's situation was a little different from what he had imagined.

Originally, he thought that even if the other party retired from the position of executive of Epic Records due to some changes, his wealth accumulated over more than ten years should have a net worth of tens of millions.

But reality slapped him hard in the face.

No matter how stingy a multi-millionaire is, he would not set up his office above a "one-time love exchange".
