Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion
Chapter 314: Beyonce’s Warning"Link, where are you? Are you okay?"
In the morning, while Link was having breakfast and reading the newspaper on the balcony, Selena called with a very urgent tone as if she had been frightened.
"I’m at home having breakfast. Where are you, what happened?"
Link asked hurriedly.
"I’m at home too."
Selena let out a sigh on the phone and continued, "Link, listen to me, you absolutely must not go to the beach these days. I just had a dream where you fell into the sea and kept gulping down water. I tried to pull you up, but I couldn’t. The dream was so real that it scared me to tears."
Link was rather speechless. He glanced at his phone, "It’s almost nine o’clock, and you’re still in bed dreaming? What time did you go to sleep last night?"
"Ah? That’s not important. Don’t interrupt me. Did you remember what I just said? Do not go to the beach. My dreams are very prescient."
Selena said with a serious tone.
If she had been beside him, Link would have felt like tapping her on the head, "Are you still groggy from sleep? Who do you think I am? The holder of four swimming records, an Elite Level diver, often free diving in the sea. Do you think I would drown?""Eh, that seems right. I’ll go back to sleep then, dream that you can float up on your own, no need for me to rescue you, okay, bye."
Without waiting for him to ask more, Selena hung up.
Link sent a message to Catherine asking what Selena was doing last night that she was still sleeping.
Catherine replied that Selena had bought a small sports car and was racing with a few girlfriends in the streets, only returning home after eleven o’clock.
Link shook his head, Selena was of age now and had become playful. Probably Catherine and Mandy couldn’t restrain her either.
Catherine told him that the "Bridesmaids" crew had been formed, directed by Paul Feig, who had directed "The White Haired Detective 3," and was skilled in filming comedies.
They were moving on to casting, and she asked if he had anyone to recommend.
Link said no, he didn’t remember what the main characters were called and didn’t plan to interfere. He just wanted her and Ms. Weg to choose actors according to the needs of the script, not to be influenced by others, and to try to find the most suitable actors.
Catherine said she understood and then asked about the album release situation.
After chatting with Catherine, Link put away his phone and continued with breakfast. Ding-dong~ his phone received a new message from Beyonce.
Beyonce asked, "Is the whiskey I gave you last time still there?"
Link shook his head, "I don’t drink, gave it to the backstage crew."
Beyonce said, "Okay, confirmed it’s you. The album sold over a million copies in four days, how does that feel?"
Link replied with a laugh, "Feeling good so far!"
Beyonce said, "Don’t be too proud. You’ve surpassed Lil Wayne and Usher on the first week sales record chart, and they are furious, saying they want to shoot you."
Link laughed, "Thanks for letting me know. I’ll go out and buy a bulletproof vest to wear tomorrow."
Beyonce said, "Bulletproof vests are useless. I have to tell you another insider tip, get ready mentally. Usher said that Scooter has some dirt on you that might ruin your reputation. I don’t know what it is, but it’s definitely not good for you, so don’t get too happy too soon."
"My dirt?"
Link was stunned for a moment, thinking carefully, he didn’t know what he could have done to give the other side leverage.
"Could it have been backstage that time? Were we photographed secretly?"
"Impossible. If it were our photos, Scooter would have told Jay-Z in advance, and Jay-Z wouldn’t have been that calm if he knew."
"Then what could it be?"
"Don’t ask me. You bastard have the guts to torment me like that, you’ve surely done the same to other women. You should think carefully if you were caught cheating by accident."
"No way, I’m not as promiscuous as you think."
"You better not be, otherwise when the dirt comes out, your image as the perfect man will crash down. Also, you owe me one for this, remember to repay me." Stay connected with
Beyonce went offline.
Link deleted the message, considering Beyonce’s warning, he felt somewhat anxious.
If it wasn’t backstage those times, what kind of dirt could it be?
Could it be the time with Amy Adams?
If it was, why wait so long to release it? And if not, what could it be?
Apart from these two women, he hadn’t engaged in any other scandalous behavior.
After giving it some thought, he sent a message to Ms. Mandy, asking her to relay to the Link Music Marketing Department to temporarily stop hyping up his good man persona and to cease marketing his relationship with Taylor. Using such things to promote an album seemed inappropriate.
Ms. Mandy said okay, and after a while, she called back to tell him that the marketing department had no such plans and had not instructed the media to promote him as a good man.
These news stories were proactively reported by the media; both he and Taylor were chart-topping singers, as well as a couple.
Hyping up such news would attract the attention of fans of both Link and Taylor, leading to more sales of news products.
It was just like the hype created in the past with sweethearts like Britney and Justin Timberlake, Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore.
The PR department saw these tactics as normal and beneficial for promoting his records, so they hadn’t intervened.
Link became even more puzzled after hearing this.
Previously, Beyonce had told him that Scott had some dirt on him and was out to set him up, but he hadn’t fully believed it, now he was starting to believe it a bit.
The media wouldn’t hype up his and Taylor’s relationship or mold him into a good man for no reason; there definitely were some people shaping public opinion.
First, they built up his good man image, and then they would use "black material" to bring him down, which would be more damaging to him.
However, considering that the black material was in Kunas’s hands, getting hold of it wouldn’t be easy.
"What are you thinking about? You look utterly lost."
As he was pondering on how to break this situation, Taylor suddenly walked by, her blue eyes intently staring at him.
Link’s heart skipped a beat when he saw that his phone had already gone dark. Shrugging his shoulders, he said, "These past few days, the media has been hyping me up as the most perfect man in the world. It feels a bit cheesy. I called the company’s PR department and asked them to stop publishing those articles, but they told me it wasn’t the company’s doing. The media are the ones hyping it, and I feel like there’s a problem here."
"What problem?"
Taylor put her breakfast plate down across from him and tore into the soft bread, saying, "If you’re a good man, what does it matter if people say you’re a good man? Unless you think you’re a bad guy."
"Yes, being called a good man doesn’t matter, but being called a perfect man is just too much. Darling, look at the newspapers; whenever it comes to perfection, there must be some issue, like it’s a pit waiting for me to fall into."
Link poured her a glass of milk.
"Aren’t you overthinking it?"
Taylor also picked up the newspaper and after reading just a few articles, she couldn’t help laughing, "It is a bit exaggerated, calling you the best boyfriend, the ideal date, that’s obviously not true. You’re lecherous, a scoundrel, vain, wake up too early every day, disturbing my rest. You have so many issues, how could you ever be considered perfect."
Link gave a light smile, staring at Taylor across the table for a moment, "Darling, we’ve known each other for almost two years now, and we’ve been together for over a year. You should understand me by now; while I might have some issues, I’m not beyond redemption, right?"
Putting down her silver spoon, Taylor glanced at him and asked, "Why are we suddenly talking about this?"
Link said, "I’ve been too popular lately, and when a person becomes too popular, it invites jealousy. I feel like there are people out to get me, and I am not without flaws, so I hope that in the coming period, if you see any negative news about me, you won’t believe it readily. Will you give me a chance to explain?"
Taylor pursed her lips and stared at him intently, "I’m not a fool. If it’s fabricated news, I can certainly see through it and won’t take it seriously. But from your expression, it’s clear this situation isn’t so simple. Have you done something bad behind my back?"
"Don’t jump to conclusions. I am just trying to be cautious. You know how business can be like a battlefield. Sometimes, even if I haven’t done anything bad, the competition can fabricate false news to attack me, just like what happened to MJ.
Now both I and Link Music are very hot, and the interests tied to me are growing more and more, there are many people who want to target me. I don’t know how they will come at me, but I need your support before anything happens."
Link reached across the small round table and took Taylor’s hand.
After staring at him quietly for two or three seconds, her face cold, Taylor asked, "Is it about you and Ivanka?"
"No, there really isn’t anything special going on between me and Ivanka."
Link shook his head.
Frowning, Taylor said, "So that means, apart from me and Ivanka, you’ve been fooling around with other women?"
"No, I’ve been at home the whole time except for my boxing practice. Where would I have time to fool around?"
Link shook his head.
With a snort, Taylor said, "That’s not necessarily true. Last year, I only went out for two hours, and you managed to write a hit single and shoot a music video in the meantime. Now you go out to practice boxing three to four hours every day; I wouldn’t be surprised if you had a bunch of kids with other women."
"Darling, you’ve been talking about this for a year."
Link said helplessly.
"Alright, I promise you, as long as you haven’t done anything to betray me, I won’t care about those news reports."
Taylor withdrew her hand and spoke.
