Chapter 50: Female gangsters vs. rednecks?

After a night of passion with Robbie, Leon rushed back to New York. There were too many things hanging in his hands now.

The expansion of Apocalypse Records, the production of the instrumental for "Faded," the recording of her debut album, and Cardi B's upcoming plans.
Picking just one thing is enough to give you a headache.

As soon as I returned to the office of Apocalypse Music, Bonnie came over with a pile of documents.

“These are the resumes of all the job seekers after we posted the job posting.”

Li Ang took it and took a look at it, completely ignoring the work history inside, whose authenticity was unknown, and directly looked at the expected salary.

Those who hold AICPA certification and have more than three years of work experience generally have an annual salary of no less than $100,000.

Just thinking about this number made his heart ache.

"Damn it! This is robbery!"

Although Li Ang said this, he knew that such a salary was not high in a place like Brooklyn Heights.

In Queens or the Bronx, this salary might be considered middle class, but it's not a high-quality life in Brooklyn Heights, which borders Manhattan.

Among more than ten resumes, a young woman caught his attention.

Aisha Garcia is a typical Mexican name, and her appearance in the photo is also very Mexican.

In this photo, Elsa is wearing a low-cut camisole under her black suit jacket, making it impossible for the boss to take his eyes off her cleavage.

Attaching such a photo to your resume is really eye-catching.

But big money cannot be used to make a living. What really attracted Li Ang's attention was that this girl's expected salary was only 80,000 US dollars, which was the lowest among all the job applicants.

“As expected of a Mexican”

Old New Yorkers often joke that they are grateful to the Chinese Runren because they have brought down the prices of the service industry.

Now the people to be thanked may have to be Mexicans.

In terms of crime, they have killed Eastern Europeans and blacks, but in terms of labor export, they have actually won over the Chinese.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no job that Mexicans cannot do as long as they are paid enough to keep themselves from starving to death.

"She's the one!"

Li Ang immediately decided to interview Aisha.

An annual salary of $80,000 is not only extremely cost-effective, but also comes with two big bonuses, which makes it hard not to be tempted.

"Okay, Boss Li, I'll call her now."

Li Ang looked at the time. In the afternoon he had to go to ROC company to discuss the accompaniment of the new album with the producer, and he was also forced to take a vocal lesson.

"I'll be very busy these days, so if I'm not around during the interview, just let me handle it. The key is verifying the authenticity of the certificate."

"There's nothing in New York that those damn Indians can't fake, you know."

Bonnie was a little surprised when she heard this. She couldn't believe that Leon entrusted such an important matter to her.

"But... I'm worried I can't handle it."

"I believe in your abilities. You have already demonstrated your work ability brilliantly during this period."

These words are not Li Ang's trick to PUA Bonnie.

This woman has proven that she is not only proficient in the magical witchcraft of making men surrender in bed, but also has excellent work ability.

Whether it's arranging Li Ang's schedule or running the official channel of Apocalypse Music, she does everything impeccably.

And she is also the most trustworthy person around Leon. Phil can't tell when there will be a risk of backstabbing, but the possibility of Bonnie doing something bad is almost zero.

This woman is only bad in bed.

As soon as Bonnie walked out of the office, Phil rushed in with Cardi B.

This black girl was wearing a pair of denim hot pants that exposed half of her buttocks. It was hard to imagine what expressions others would have when they saw her walking on the street. Li Ang was a little surprised to see Cardi at such a time.

This woman's commercial performance schedule is packed, probably more than twice as full as mine.

These include opening performances at entertainment venues and platform activities for adult manufacturers.
In order to squeeze the most out of Cady, the greedy Phil accepts any performance that can make money.

There seemed to be some problem between the two of them, and they kept shouting "F-word" at each other as soon as they entered the door.

"That's enough, stop immediately." Li Ang knocked on the table and said in a deep voice: "Tell me what happened?"

The situation was under control in an instant.

Cardi B grew up in a gang den and no one could control her temper, except Leon.

Since successfully releasing her first album with Li Ang's help, her attitude towards Li Ang has changed 180 degrees.

Apart from the swear words that he still can't stop using, he behaves like a pet in other aspects.

Phil first glared at Cardi B fiercely, then walked up to Leon and said, "This girl is crazy. She insisted on performing in Austin despite my objection."

"What do you mean? I don't understand."

"I mean she'd probably die if she went to Austin now!"

After hearing this, Li Ang became even more confused.

Austin is the capital of Texas in the south. Since ancient times, it has been a place where rednecks gather and ruthless people are born. Even if women and children are included, the average person owns more than three guns.

But the proliferation of guns does not mean that the public security situation is very bad. At least compared with New York, Austin's murder rate is much lower.

"Why can't Austin go? Tell me in detail." Li Ang lit a cigarette with his feet crossed.

"Fxxk, there was an incident there a few days ago where a police officer strangled an unarmed black man with his arm during law enforcement."

"It was just an accident, but this is Texas, you know!"

Something in Cady's mouth struck a nerve, and she immediately started yelling, "Shut up, you bastard! That wasn't an accident! It was a horrible murder!"

"Those damn rednecks want to exterminate black people!"

Seeing that the quarrel between the two was about to escalate again, Li Ang shouted: "Shut up, both of you!!"

"I'm wondering if there's any connection between this and whether or not Cardi can perform in Austin?"

According to Leon, although Texans are extremely conservative and the proportion of blacks there has always been low, it is not a slaughterhouse for blacks.

Beyoncé is a true Texas girl. She was born in Houston and is treated like a hero whenever she returns to her hometown to perform.

No matter how xenophobic the rednecks are, they are not the KKK. It is impossible for them to shoot a singer for no reason.

But after Phil's subsequent explanation, Leon understood everything.

Due to the incident of police accidentally killing a black man, black groups in Texas took to the streets to protest.

Memorial services were held for the deceased and charitable donations were initiated.

Cardi B is here to perform as a guest at a donation event.

Her vulgar lyrics and out-of-place look have caused quite a stir on the internet.

If a child asks their parents to go to a Cardi B show, they will most likely be given a loving beating.

This is especially true in conservative Texas.

Some local gangs in Austin have already threatened that if this black girl dares to set foot on Austin soil and harm their children, they will come to the scene with shotguns to cheer on the performance.

Finally, Phil gritted his teeth and said, "The point is, this is a charity performance, there is no remuneration."

"That's a deal only a fool would accept."
