Chapter 316 Beauty Schemes


    After sending Scout away, Link stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with his arms folded, looking at the people coming and going on William Street downstairs.


    ??Occasionally, you can see one or two tourists pointing at the Link Music logo, as if to say that the famous Link Music is there, and Link, Lana Del Rey, Mars, and Wiz Khalifa are all there.


    ?While looking at the scenery, Link was also thinking about Scout''s suggestion before leaving.


    ??Scooter told him that he is currently very popular in the entertainment industry, but as album promotion and scandals decrease, his popularity will gradually decrease.


    To maintain a high level of popularity in the music scene, publicity and hype are indispensable. When he chose to bundle hype with East Coast Rap, it was a clever move that can be continued to implement, so that the two parties are in a state of disharmony, which will make the topic more topical and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.


    ?Link didn’t object and didn’t care much.


    When fame reaches a certain stage, if you want to break through the bottleneck and reach a higher level, just relying on hype is of no use. It requires years of accumulation. Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, just like the weight of his punches.


    ??Promoting with East Coast rappers is of very limited use to him at this stage.


    In addition, Scooter also mentioned the issue of developing a personal brand.


    Link is a famous athlete and singer. He has a very high reputation around the world and has a lot of fans. He can emulate Jordan, Kobe, Kanye and others and cooperate with Adidas, Nike and other brands to create a personal sports brand or casual clothing. Brand, this is also a good way to make money.


    “Isn’t it a little too fast?”


    ?Graeme shrugged and told him about making his fourth album.


    Before he became famous, he did many exaggerated tricks in order to become famous, such as provoking the heavyweight boxing champion in public, claiming that he would defeat all opponents within 100 seconds, and outside the Grammy Awards, he criticized Washington from the air. It almost came across as racist.


    Graeme, the head of the music production department of Link, walked in. He was wearing a baseball shirt. His figure was a little rounder than in 2008, but he still didn''t care much about his personal image. His hair was messy and his shirt was wrinkled.


    ?If you want to become a tens of billions or a hundred billionaire, it is not enough to just rely on stock trading. You should also find ways to make some physical investments.


    ? ? Kanye was initially worth only a few hundred million U.S. dollars. Through cooperation with Adidas and Nike, he founded AirYeezy and will be worth more than a billion U.S. dollars in the future. The same goes for Jordan and others.


    “No, I drank five cups of coffee today, and I smell of coffee all over my body. I heard that the tea here is good. Please give me a cup of tea.”


    ?Link nodded, agreeing with his opinion.


    ?Link sat back on the office chair, invited Graeme to sit across from him, and asked his secretary to bring him a cup of coffee.


    ?Link thought about it and realized it was a good suggestion.


    "Unhappy, you are very popular now and your album is very popular. The more this happens, the more you have to work **** the new album. If the quality of the new album is too poor, it will affect your reputation. The company plans to release you early next year. It’s my fourth album, so now it’s time to prepare, determine the theme, write and collect songs, the more songs the better, keep improving, so that the quality of the produced album will not be bad.”


    ?Graeme waved his hand and said.


    “Are you busy these days?”


    After becoming famous, his personal influence becomes greater and he becomes cautious in what he does and says. He often walks on thin ice.


    ?Link asked as he touched his chin.


    ?Link smiled lightly and asked his secretary to make a cup of black tea.


    ?At that time, he was not well-known and did things without scruples.


    “You’re not busy, do you have anything?”


    Dong dong dong!


    “Link, are you busy?”


    ?Graeme said.


    “The busiest time has passed. In the last few months of the year and the beginning of the year, Link Music released three albums in a row. It was the busiest time at that time. I’m not busy now, but I can’t relax.”


    ?The same goes for releasing an album. When I first debuted, there was no pressure. The first album only took more than two months from production to release.


    It was only after the second and third albums that he gradually became serious. As the sales of the albums got better and better, there were more and more fans. In order to live up to the trust and expectations of the fans, he did not dare to mess around and would be more careful when making albums. careful.


    If the fourth album is released early next year, preparations should indeed be made in advance.


    ?Link and Graeme began to discuss the theme of the fourth album. Since the two songs "sorry" and "LoveIsGone" received a good response, they could first set the theme as "broken love". The songs in the album are mainly sad love songs.


    “Graeme, I have temporarily written six songs of this kind, and you have also started to collect related songs. The more the better.”


    ?Link said.


    ?When the first and second albums were released, the quality of the songs collected was average, and none of them made it onto the singles chart, which led him to look down on the works collected by the company.


    ?For the third album, the company spent a lot of money to invite famous singers to write songs for him. The songs collected this time were of good quality and all entered the singles chart.


    ?This also makes him full of expectations for the songs collected by the company. Maybe he will be lucky in the future and collect a few number one singles that were popular in his previous life.


    ?At the same time, Link also plans to invite songs from Lady Gaga, Adele, Kesha and others.


    ?They are all talented singer-songwriters, and the songs they write should be good.


    After seeing off Graeme, Link looked at his watch. It was already 5:10 pm, but Ivaca hadn''t come over yet to tell him to go home for dinner. Thinking that this woman was a workaholic, he closed the computer, told his secretary, and came to the president''s office on the east side. Ivaca''s assistants and secretaries were still there, which meant that she was also there.


    ?Link knocked on the door, and a voice called "Please come in" came from the door. The voice was cold and indifferent, giving people a feeling that he was not easy to mess with.


    Opening the door, Ivaca was sitting behind a large desk. She was wearing a white Prada office attire and long blond hair. She was holding a pen in her hand. There was a pile of documents on the table and she was immersed in it. Processing work.


    Seeing her like this, Link wanted to ask her about digging a hole for him, but he took it back. Anyway, he didn''t suffer any loss, and it was not bad to be a couple for the time being.


    “Link, is something okay?”


    Seeing him come in, Ivaca stopped what she was doing and looked up at him with a serious expression.


    “It’s okay, come and see you.”


    ?Link shrugged his shoulders, sat down on the seat opposite, picked up a folder and looked at it. There were financial documents, instructions on legal issues, information submitted by dealers, etc. The work was very complicated.


    “Are you coming to help me share the work? These materials can be given to you for your approval.”


    “No, I am a technician and don’t understand company management. The only thing I can do is applaud you.”


    ?Link clapped his hands and smiled.


    Ivaca rolled her eyes charmingly, drew on the document, and suddenly frowned with her slender eyebrows, looking at him blankly, "Did I say I wanted to treat you to seafood? Oops, I forgot."


    Ivaca looked at her watch and saw that it was past five o''clock. She quickly put down the pen and documents and called her assistant to prepare the car.


    “Don’t worry, it’s already too late, it’ll be the same another day.”


    “No, I promised to cook for you, and I must do it.”


    ?Evaca closed the computer, stepped on her high heels, and came out with her satchel, urging him to get up quickly, as it would be time to have supper if it was later.


    ?Link shook his head. Seeing her like this, he had no expectations for the seafood she cooked.


    “What kind of seafood dinner did you prepare?”


    "I heard that you like to eat seafood. I didn''t know which kind you like to eat, so I ordered all the top seafood ingredients online, including king crab, blue lobster, Bellon oysters, and Australian prawns. I guarantee that you will be satisfied with your meal. "


    Iwaka said as she walked.


    "sounds good."


    ?Link looked at the woman next to him and chuckled, "Eva, we are just an agreed couple. If you are so kind to me, are you falling in love with me?"


    Ivaca stopped, looked at him, and smiled: "Don''t be too narcissistic. This is just a work meal. I just want to talk to you about work at the table. There is no other meaning. If I really fall in love with you, , I won’t just treat you to seafood, I will give you all the best things in the world.”


    “Really, that is, if I can make you fall in love with me, I can get the best thing in the world?”


    “Yes, but I will never fall in love with you.”


    "Why?"


    “Don’t you have any self-awareness, you scumbag!”


    Ivaca glanced at him sideways, leaving an indifferent back.


    ?Seeing her expression, Link couldn''t help but doubt his previous judgment. Does this woman really like him?


    ??In Baker''s shop, she suggested that she find a regular girlfriend, and eventually the two of them became an agreement couple. Is it really to help her restore her reputation rather than for other reasons?


    Have you misunderstood?


    ?Link doesn''t quite understand. He was originally relatively slow about feelings. After experiencing Taylor''s incident, he is now even less sure whether a woman has feelings for him or not, and how much feelings she has.


    “What are you standing there for?”


    Immediately walking to the work area, Ivaca stopped, looked back at him and said, "According to Article 6 of the agreement, in public, we need to behave like a couple and let everyone know that we are a couple, so as not to attract my father''s attention. doubt, we should go together at this time."


    Link shook his head, walked over, put his arms around her waist, and pinched the plump part. This woman was so annoying. When he was with her, even three brains couldn''t guess her thoughts. For this kind of Women can''t be too gentle.


    Ivaca pinched him, took his arm, and walked out of the Link Music office area side by side.


    When the employees of the company saw the two bosses going out hand in hand, they all paid attention to them. One of them was handsome and strong in a casual suit, and the other was **** and dignified in a suit skirt. They looked very suitable.


    “Link and Evaka are so perfect for each other.”


    “I’m so envious. Not only do they have the best appearance and wealth in the world, they also have the most perfect couple. This world is so unfair.”


    “I used to think Link and Taylor were perfect for each other, and I was disappointed to see them separate. Now I think Link and President Ivaca are a better match. I decided to support the two of them and hope they can continue.”


    The employees were talking a lot, and one employee took out his mobile phone and told his employer about the situation. Today, President Ivaca and Mr. Baker left work hand in hand. The two looked very close.
