Chapter 453: Discussing Countermeasures

  Alfred Cafe is one of the boutique cafes in Beverly Hills. The decoration style is high-end and elegant, full of artistic atmosphere.

The cafe has all the top coffee beans in the world, as well as exquisite craftsmanship in hand-made coffee, which is loved by many celebrities in Beverly Hills.

In the afternoon, the sun is shining brightly in Los Angeles, and the windows of the cafes are also illuminated. The air is filled with a rich scent of coffee. Even if you don't drink coffee, you can experience the taste of all kinds of top coffee in the cafes.

Taylor propped his chin with his arm, watching Ivanka on the opposite side stir the coffee gracefully, add a little coconut juice, then pick up the cup with her slender jade fingers, sip her rose-colored red lips and taste a small sip gracefully. Her movements are natural and smooth, her demeanor is quiet and pleasant, and she is not in a hurry.

Her movements are matched with her appearance and temperament. Even if she drinks tap water, it will make people feel very delicious, and they can't help but order a glass of the same style to taste it.

Taylor suddenly felt that he was not wronged at all by losing to her from Link.

Such a woman gathers almost all the advantages of women, not to mention that Link, the pervert, will be fascinated. She can't help but look at her a few more times when she sees a woman, and even wants to get close to her. This is a very strange feeling.

“Taylor, do you have any questions for me?”

Ivanka put down the coffee cup and flapped her curled eyelashes to look at Taylor on the opposite side.

“There are many, but what I want to know now is, is there any way you can minimize the negative impact of things?”

“What are your plans?”

“The company's public relations department is in a meeting to discuss a way to calm the impact of this matter, but I have thought about it repeatedly. There is almost no good way except to confess to the media and admit mistakes publicly. After all, this matter is a serious breach of trust for the public.”

Taylor said.

Ivanka nodded slightly, thought for a while, and made three suggestions.

First, before being exposed by the media, let out the wind first, take the initiative to expose the existence of the child, and let the child return to the public eye.

In the next step, she will publicly apologize, cause widespread debate in the society, and then guide public opinion and divert public attention. After the people have vented their negative emotions, the heat of public opinion will gradually decrease.

This is the usual method used by celebrities when dealing with crisis incidents, and it is easy to use because it is often used.

The advantage is that you can copy the homework, and it is not easy to make big mistakes.

The downside is unpredictable.

At present, she is very popular in the entertainment industry, and changing her hairstyle will be discussed by the media for a few days, let alone hiding her children.

According to this approach, this incident will definitely become the most explosive news in the entertainment industry in 2011, and the results may exceed expectations, and the harm may be greater than expected.

The second suggestion is to procrastinate, and because her popularity is too high and her influence is too great, it would be more gentle to deal with this matter by procrastinating.

If Taylor wants, before the child is exposed, she can hand the child over to other people to raise it. If she adopts a denial attitude to the media's questioning, the matter will evolve into a gossip and will not affect her career.

After a few years of stable career development, and then publicly admit her mistakes, the impact will be smaller.

This suggestion was rejected by Taylor. She was ill-considered in hiding the child at the beginning, but now she has recognized her mistake and doesn't want to let it continue.

Also, she loves Alexander and Cynthia and will not leave the children to others to raise.

“Taylor, you are only 22 years old this year. You are single and unmarried but have two children. You also have a busy career. Your current situation is not suitable for raising children yourself.

Now that the child is young, it can be left to the nanny and servant to take care of it. When the child grows up, he can walk and talk, and he can call his parents. At that time, you will have more questions to consider.

For example, what should I do if my future boyfriend does not accept the child? The parents of the child's school will bump into your concert. How would you choose?As far as I understand, you are a very dedicated person.”

Ivanka said slowly.

Taylor frowned faintly, thought for a moment, and still firmly believed in his own thoughts, and would never leave the child to others to raise.

“Eva, your guess is correct, but it's just an expectation. My mother said that life is not as simple as we thought. Every day is actually magnificent. As long as we get used to the wind and waves, we will become stronger and stronger. I have enough confidence to meet every unknown challenge. I am not afraid of challenges.”

“You are right. I mean, Link and I will raise Alexander and Cynthia. Link is a gentle and delicate person, and his care for children will not be worse than yours.

And although I don't know if I can be a competent mother, I will try my best. We will take care of the children. You can work with peace of mind and have a boyfriend.

Come and see the child when you have time. You are still the child's mother. I won't rob the child with you.

And this time, Link and I will also bear the responsibility. Link and I are not exactly people in the entertainment industry, and this kind of thing will have less impact on us.”

Ivanka said.

Taylor looked at her with a strange expression, pursing the corners of her thin lips, “Eva, are you really here to help me solve the problem, not to help Link grab the child?"”

Ivanka shook her head slightly, covering her lower abdomen with her palm, with a different kind of tenderness on her bright and moving face.

“I can feel that life is giving birth in my body. Maybe I will have children in the near future. I don't need to rob your children. Because of this, I will think more about children recently.

Taylor, it's definitely not appropriate to bring a child like you. Leave it to us to bring it, and the child will have more love, don't you think?”

Taylor lowered his head and thought carefully about Ivanka's words. Ivanka made sense, and it was appropriate to leave the child to Link's care.

But doing so also means losing the child, and Link will get two beautiful little angels if he doesn't do anything. More importantly, he will give the child to Link. He will lose the game himself, and he will have to get Link's consent to see the child in the future.

Taylor shook his head decisively, “Eva, you are mistaken. In your consideration, children will become a burden on me in the future and bring a lot of inconvenience to my life and work, but in my consideration, children are part of my good life. I have already taken them into account in my blueprint for future life, so they are not my trouble, and I don't want to be separated from them.”

Ivanka nodded, suddenly cocked her lips and smiled, “Link said you are a very, very stubborn person, and no one can convince you. I agree with that.”

Taylor's delicate cheeks flushed, and he snorted softly. He was very dissatisfied with Link's behavior of saying bad things behind his back. If that bastard was there, he must punch him a few times.

“I just insist on doing what I think is right.”

“Yes, you are a very brave and assertive woman. This is amazing. Since you have your own plans, are you going to disclose the news and apologize to the public next?”

Ivanka asked.

Taylor nodded in silence. This kind of thing is simple to say, but as long as she thinks of the reaction of the media after learning the news and the reaction of fans, she can feel a kind of public opinion pressure on her face.

“Taylor, while the matter has not yet been exposed, we have enough time to discuss countermeasures. If necessary, link Music and Lionsgate's public relations department can cooperate with your work.

In addition, on the manor side, you can arrange for someone to investigate which media reporters are active and how much they know. If they don't know much, they will send someone to publicize those media to buy more time.”

Ivanka said methodically.

Taylor nodded in agreement, and gradually calmed down in his heart.

In the past two days, after hearing the news from the bodyguard Michelle, she became nervous and anxious, thinking about the public's reaction after the incident was exposed all day long, and thinking about how to solve the matter.

But I didn't think about investigating the identities of those people outside the manor in the past, whether I could solve these people first, and then slowly find a way to solve the children's problems, and take the initiative in my own hands, so that there will be more time.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Ivanka on the opposite side. In the end, she had been the president and chairman of the board for a long time. She looked at things from different angles and had a more comprehensive idea of dealing with problems.

“Eva, thank you!”

Taylor said, holding up the coffee cup.

“You're welcome!”

Ivanka smiled slightly and touched her.

The two continued to talk about specific plans.

——

On the deck not far away, Leonardo turned his head, looked at the card table, and asked how many people were betting. James Franco said that only he and Toby Maguire were left.

“Compare cards!”

Leonardo tapped on the desktop with his fingers.

Toby Maguire showed a dimpled smile and pulled out two hearts J and 8, plus one heart Q, one heart 10, and one heart 9 in the five public cards. The biggest faces are Q, J, 10, 9, and 8 in a straight flush.

“Impossible!I just saw the Red Heart J in James' hands, how could I run to you?”

Leonardo asked with a dark face.

“Mine is Square J.”

James Franco smiled with his hand on the back of his chair.

Toby Maguire spread his hand and smiled, “Leon, let's see your hole cards.”

“No, you won.”

Leonardo angrily threw two hole cards into the pile. He held a K of hearts and a J of spades in his hand. The biggest cards were Shunzi K, Q, J, 10, and 9, which were much smaller than Maguire's cards.

Although he didn't lose much each time, he often lost, which made him very upset, and he vowed to win on Toby today.

“Huh!”

"Shut up!Don't make strange noises while playing cards.”

Not long after the start of the new round, Toby Maguire suddenly let out another scream while looking at the cards, and looked up at Leonardo's rear with a surprised expression, and several other people also heard the sound and looked over.

I saw Ivanka and Taylor walking out of the cafe side by side, both with smiles on their faces, and the atmosphere looked very harmonious.

The other two are beautiful women over 180 cm tall.

A glamorous and domineering president, a fresh goddess of literature and art.

When the two walked together, they instantly attracted the attention of the audience, and almost all the men were saluting them.

When the two went out, the discussion in the cafe suddenly rose, and many people began to discuss the relationship between the two, plus Playboy Link, which was more topical.

“What happened, why did it suddenly become lively?I heard someone talking about Link, is Link here too?”

Leonardo asked curiously.

“It's nothing, let's keep playing cards.”

Toby Maguire smiled.

“It can't be okay, Tom, what happened?”

Leonardo looked at Tom Hardy opposite him. The two had worked together in Inception.

"Miss Thompson and Miss Taylor left together.”

“The two of them together?”

Leonardo frowned, but still didn't hold back and glanced back, only to find that the two had gone far away.

"Ivanka and Taylor chatted as they walked. Their relationship is much better than rumors.”

James Franco said.

“Yes, maybe there was some misunderstanding before, but now it's solved.”

Woody Harrison said that he has played important roles in movies such as "Peachy Deal", "Sex Book Tycoon", "Old and Helpless" and "The Messenger", and he is also a card friend of several people.

“Link, this guy can't be a playboy at all. He has to take his time to be a playboy and change one a year. He can find several at once like him, as well as powerful women like Ivanka and Taylor and Marion Cotillard. Believe me, he will roll over sooner or later.”

Leonardo said confidently.

“I don't think so. Link and Ivanka have already exchanged rings. I heard that they are going to get engaged.”

Toby Maguire said.

“It's possible to get divorced when you get married, not to mention that the two are not engaged yet. Well, stop talking nonsense and continue to deal cards. I will definitely win this time.”

Leonardo knocked on the table.

James Franco's girlfriend issued the fourth public card, a plum blossom 10.

Ding Dong!

Leonardo's mobile phone on the table rang, he picked it up and took a look. It was Link's reply to the message and asked him if he had anything to do?

Leonardo asked him if he had time to come over and play Texas Holdem.

Link said he couldn't play and worked out in the training room.

Leonardo shook his head and asked him if he was already very good. He was a super champion. Why did he have to train?

Link said that the road to power is never-ending.

Leonardo pulled the corner of his mouth, thinking that this guy was very good at pretending.

He originally wanted to tease his ex-girlfriend about dating his current girlfriend, but after thinking about it, he didn't think it was necessary. Maybe this guy knew it a long time ago, so he sent a message that he had time to pick up girls together and introduce him to a few very beautiful models.

Link replied yes.

Leonardo put down his phone and told a few people that Link was training at home and didn't have time to come over to play cards.

Everyone admired Link for being so hardworking, so powerful and so hardworking. Compared with him, everyone was so depraved.

Under the influence of Link, the mood of several people playing cards was greatly affected, and the game ended early after two rounds.
