Chapter 359: Link's Promise (2/10)

After dealing with Emily Yang at the restaurant, Link returned to his hotel room with some food. Jennifer opened the door for him, pointed towards the bedroom, and whispered that Liu Li had arrived. She had seen Feifei's injuries and looked very upset.

Link nodded, handed Jennifer the breakfast, and entered the bedroom.

Liu Li sat on the edge of the bed, her back to him. She didn't turn around when she heard the movement. Chris, however, looked at him with a radiant smile, her eyes filled with affection that almost overflowed.

Link smiled gently and greeted Liu Li, not receiving a positive response, but he didn't mind. He leaned over and hugged Chris tightly, gently kissing her red lips for over a minute. Only when he heard a cough behind him did he release the girl in his arms.

"Mr. Baker, I think we need to talk."

Liu Li said with a cold face.

Link nodded, letting Jennifer and Chris have breakfast in the bedroom while he and Liu Li went to the next-door lounge.

Seeing the two leave, Chris was a little worried.

"Chang Chang, will they fight?"

"Don't worry, Link has a good temper, and Aunt Li isn't unreasonable. They won't fight."

Shu Chang handed her a glass of warm milk.

Chris nodded, looked at Shu Chang, and said, "Chang Chang, thank you for last night. I wouldn't have been able to hold on otherwise."

Shu Chang blushed, sat down, and embraced her affectionately, saying, "No need to thank me, we're good sisters."

"Yes, we're good sisters."

Chris smiled and kissed her cheek.

Meanwhile, Link and Ms. Liu arrived at the lounge. He asked her what she wanted to drink, but Ms. Liu didn't answer. She crossed her arms and looked at him coldly, as if looking at a villain.

Link felt helpless being looked at like that.

When it came to women, he always believed in mutual consent, love before bed, and never forced anyone, neither Jennifer nor Chris.

Now being seen as a bad guy, he couldn't help but feel a little wronged.

"Lina, how about black tea? By the way, I don't know if you've had breakfast. How about I ask the waiter to bring you some? We can eat and talk."

Link said.

"No need, Mr. Baker. What's done is done. I want to know how you plan to handle your relationship with Chris. Is it just a one-night stand, or will you give Chris a formal title? We Chinese women value titles more than life."

"Title? What do you mean?"

Link asked, pretending not to understand.

"Mr. Baker, you should be able to tell that Chris loves you very much. I want to know how you plan to treat her, what you consider her to be. This is very important to both Chris and me."

Ms. Liu said seriously.

Link nodded, poured a cup of black tea for Ms. Liu, asked her to calm down and not get too excited. He assured her that he would give both Chris and her an explanation regarding Chris.

He had two proposals.

The first was to take Chris back to the United States, buy her a villa in Miami or Los Angeles, let her live there, and give her a monthly allowance. If she wanted to continue acting, he would also do his best to support her.

Ms. Liu opposed this. She had lived in the United States for five or six years and knew the situation there. Feifei, a Chinese actress, would have limited development opportunities there.

Letting Feifei follow him to the United States would be equivalent to making her his mistress, a caged canary.

Feifei was the daughter she had painstakingly raised, and she never wanted to see her daughter become that kind of person.

Link made a second proposal. He planned to buy a courtyard house in Beijing for Feifei. He also knew that Feifei loved acting and wanted to achieve success in her career.

However, the entertainment industry was complex. Without strong capital backing, a beautiful girl like Feifei would sooner or later become a target for capital, just like other actresses.

Given this situation, he planned to invest one hundred million yuan to establish a film and television company. On the one hand, it would invest in Chinese films and become a capital player, and on the other hand, it could secure more film and television resources for Feifei, safeguarding her career.

Ms. Liu fell silent upon hearing the second proposal.

Compared to the first proposal, the second one was much better.

However, with the rise of the mainland film and television industry in recent years, there were more and more film companies in China. Many coal bosses had invested tens of millions in the entertainment industry without making any waves. How long could Link, a foreigner, sustain a film company in China?

Ms. Liu expressed her concerns, believing that it wasn't a good idea for a foreigner like him to invest in films in the mainland.

In fact, Link also knew that the profit margin of investing in the domestic entertainment industry wasn't large. It would be better to buy a few buildings in coastal cities before the real estate market boomed.

However, Chris wanted to be an actress, not a landlord, so he planned to allocate part of his funds to invest in film and talent agencies, and the rest to hoard real estate and invest in a few promising companies.

He told Ms. Liu that he had two plans.

The first was to use foreign capital to invest in existing film companies in China, acquiring a portion of the shares and having Feifei hold them. This company could serve as Feifei's backing in China.

Given the current state of the domestic entertainment industry, many film and television companies are eager to collaborate with Hollywood studios, hoping to bring domestic films overseas, earn foreign exchange, and win international awards.

Even top directors and A-list actors, after establishing themselves in the domestic film industry, aspire to venture into Hollywood, but most are unsuccessful.

If I were to agree to invest and promise future collaborations with domestic film companies to co-produce Hollywood blockbusters and help promote and distribute domestic films, it would be difficult for these companies to refuse such an enticing offer.

The second point is to establish a small film studio, mainly investing in Chris's films. If there are good film projects, we can also invest in one or two films annually. There's no need to make a huge profit, just break even.

I asked Ms. Liu for her opinion, as the company would eventually be handed over to Chris or held on her behalf, or more accurately, to Ms. Liu.

The two of us would become partners.

Ms. Liu thought for a moment and said she needed to consider it.

However, from my words, she also sensed that I wasn't someone who would just walk away after having fun. When I was with Feifei, I had seriously considered how to arrange things for her and how to help her career. I seemed like a responsible man.

But the more this was the case, the more uneasy Ms. Liu felt.

If I were a scumbag who would leave after having fun, Feifei might have been hurt in this relationship but also matured from it, no longer as naive as before. However, I wasn't letting go and intended to treat Feifei as my lover in China.

Even though Feifei knew I was a scumbag, she couldn't bear to let go because she loved me and would continue to be entangled with me.

The deeper and longer the entanglement, the greater the influence I would have on Feifei, and this influence could potentially last a lifetime.

Ms. Liu looked at me with confusion.

"Mr. Baker, I have a question. We all know you're a playboy with many beautiful lovers around the world, all of them top beauties. I don't understand why you would fall for a simple and naive girl like Chris."

"I love Chris, Lina. It's true."

I said seriously.

Ms. Liu scoffed, not believing my words.

Even if I liked Feifei, it was because of her delicate Eastern face and slender figure.

She absolutely didn't believe that a foreigner could truly fall in love with a Chinese girl he had only met a few times, let alone a scumbag like me. Scumbags didn't deserve love.

I smiled nonchalantly, "Lina, you should know that in Western media, I have a bad reputation as a playboy and many rumored girlfriends. Do you know why so many girls still love me even after I've become a recognized playboy?"

Ms. Liu scoffed, of course it was because I was handsome, strong, famous, and had a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars.

These were things women dreamed of and were like drugs, fatally attractive to them. This was why those girls were still infatuated with me even though they knew I was a scumbag.

"Lina, if you think they love me just because I'm handsome and rich, you're wrong. They love me because I love them too. When I'm with them, no matter who it is, I love them wholeheartedly, without any deception. They feel my love and that's why they accept me and love me. If you don't believe me, you can ask Chris, ask her if she can feel my love for her. I think her answer will be yes."

I said.

Ms. Liu looked at me helplessly. I was clearly a big scumbag, but I thought of myself as a love guru, like a compassionate murderer.

"Mr. Baker, I believe you love Chris too. So, for the remaining days you're in China, I hope you can act like a lover and spend more time with her."

"I will!"

I nodded seriously and talked to Ms. Liu about investing in the film company again, hoping she could make a decision soon. There was also the matter of buying a courtyard house in Beijing. If she had any good suggestions, she could share them. If she didn't like courtyard houses, buying a luxury apartment was also fine.

Ms. Liu responded expressionlessly.

Finally, there was one more thing. I told Ms. Liu that we didn't use protection last night, and Chris didn't want to take the pill. If Chris accidentally got pregnant, I asked Ms. Liu to help take care of her. Regardless of the outcome, I would take full responsibility.

Hearing this, Ms. Liu looked at me angrily, pointed at my nose, snorted heavily, opened the door, and walked out.
