America's Road to Fame

Chapter 18 Paris' Gift
"William, are you still in the office?" After William Chen sent Erica away, he received a call from Paris.

After Paris went to Hollywood to film, she would often call or text William Chen.Especially at night, in her words, it is necessary to supervise William Chen and let him discipline himself.

However, William Chen naturally scoffed at her reason.Hehe, I don't know who always said those ambiguous words to himself, and then hung up the phone irresponsibly, which made him almost fly to Los Angeles several times?
"Yes, Paris, I just finished class, and I'm going to eat later." This time, William Chen also regarded her as routinely checking her whereabouts.

"Then can you go downstairs now? I have something for you, and he is downstairs in your building now." Paris said.

"What? It's mysterious." William Chen muttered. The first reaction in his mind at this time was why he didn't need express delivery. Then he realized that he was used to the life in Huaguo in his previous life. After all, at that time There are errands in the same city who can help deliver.

But at this time, FedEx in the United States is already very powerful, but the cost is definitely incomparable to ordinary people in China.

"Don't ask so many questions, you will find out when you go down and have a look, there are surprises." Paris said with a smile.

At this time, William Chen had already realized something. Sure enough, when he walked out of the building, he saw Paris sitting in his car, waving at him.

"How, surprise? Dear William." Paris said with a smug smile on his face.

"Very pleasantly surprised, why are you back? Have you finished filming yet?" William Chen got into the car and saw the skirt Paris was wearing today. From his own perspective, he could directly see half of the full circle, which was simply a crime of temptation. .

"That's right, I'm not the main character in this movie, so I shot it faster." In fact, under normal circumstances, she still had two days to shoot.But in Los Angeles, on the one hand, Paris misses William Chen very much. After all, two or three days before the two separated, although she felt exhausted every day, once she recovered, she felt more and more aftertaste.

In addition, even recently, she has seen frequent reports in some newspapers that William and Ivanta are dating.Although those reports only showed photos of the two of them dining and walking out of the restaurant together, and she knew her best friend Ivanta quite well, knowing that that woman was not easy to deal with, at most she regarded William as a friend.

But what if?Reason is reason, and this is often the case. The person you care about will always magnify the excellence of the other party. Therefore, worried, Paris discussed with the director and filmed her part first, and then ended the filming early.After all, as Paris, this kind of request will not affect the shooting too much. Most directors are willing to give her this favor, so there is no need to offend her.

"Do you like it? William." Paris suddenly remembered something, took out a box from her bag, and handed it to William Chen.

"What is this?" William Chen took the gift box, and after opening it, he saw a simple bracelet inside.

"I bought it when I participated in a charity auction in Los Angeles. It is said to be an antique from Huaguo. It has a history of hundreds of years. I look very beautiful, and it is said that this bracelet has energy and may bless the person who wears it. You Like it?"

William Chen picked up the bracelet, looking at the style, it should be made of Tibetan silver.If it is bought at an auction, it will usually be authenticated, and there will be no fakes mixed in it.

After all, those who participated in the charity auction were all famous people. It would be too shameful if the items revealed to be auctioned were counterfeit.Therefore, since this bracelet is said to be an antique, it is at least an old object from before the Qing Dynasty in Huaguo.

However, whether it is antique or not, William Chen doesn't care. He just likes the shape of this bracelet. There are lotus patterns on the Tibetan silver beads on it, which looks very delicate.

"I like it very much, thank you, Paris." William Chen put the bracelet on his wrist, and it fit just right, he said: "I'm waiting to put my abstinence badge on it, so I can wear it with me. "

"It's fine if you like it." Seeing William put the Tibetan silver bracelet on his hand, Paris smiled and asked, "Let's go eat first, William, I tried a great Chinese restaurant last time. You should try it."

Paris took William Chen to Hakkasan (Hakka Mountain) near Times Square. This is a rare Chinese restaurant that has been awarded one Michelin star.

As we all know, the judging criteria of Michelin restaurants are more suitable for Western food. The cooking method of Chinese food does not have an advantage in this selection. Therefore, there are few Chinese restaurants in the Michelin-starred restaurants in the world. This can also be seen from this restaurant. Rare for a restaurant.

After William Chen tasted it, he had to admit that the Cantonese cuisine that this Hakkasan restaurant specializes in is indeed very authentic and delicious, not inferior to those top Cantonese restaurants that William Chen had eaten in China in his previous life.

After eating, Chen William and Paris also strolled around casually, not only bought two pieces of clothes with her, but also bought a lot of outfits for themselves.However, these shopping results don't need to be brought by themselves. After leaving the address, the clerk will deliver it to their home.

Of course, the two of them showed up here, and they also attracted the attention of all-pervasive reporters. It can be said that there are so many reporters in the United States. Not only Paris was photographed holding William Chen, but some reporters directly asked the two of them Are you in a relationship.

William Chen was so used to this that he was numb. He just smiled and didn't say anything, but Paris left them a sentence: "We are friends, best friends. Thank you, there is still something to go. gone."

As for how they write after they go back, that's out of their control.After all, the competition among these newspapers and magazines in the United States is also very fierce. In order to gain attention, they are very good at using scandals such as "seems to be", "looks like" and "looks like" to increase sales.As for these reports, at best, they ask their own lawyers to argue. As public figures, the final court decision will not favor them.

The two had been separated for a while, and whether it was William Chen or Paris, they both felt a little different than newly married, so the two didn't go to other places after that, and drove back to William Chen's home directly.

When they entered the house, the two of them hugged and kissed.

"Dear William, I feel that your body should be completely healed, and it seems stronger." Paris whispered in his ear, his breathing gradually became heavy, and he sniffed Chen William's ear.

"I think this kind of thing, you have to try it yourself to be sure, what do you think, Paris." William Chen grabbed the little hands that were making trouble on his body, then picked her up by the waist, and walked directly to the bathroom.

Finally, he kicked the bathroom door shut with his foot, leaving only the voice of Paris in the bathroom: "F**K, William, can you be gentle, I won't be able to wear my clothes tomorrow."

……

The next day, William Chen came to the office of Building No. 666 refreshed. After sitting on the chair, he couldn't help opening the interface of Future Bank. new activity -

【First Industry】Users are invited to own their own first industry and will receive random rewards.

The current activity is in the "Participated" state.When he got up from Paris's entanglement this morning and habitually opened the Future Bank interface to check, he discovered this new activity and had already chosen to participate.

Thinking about it now, one of the companies under my name is the film company in Los Angeles. Although it is completely owned by me, it has been on the verge of bankruptcy, so it is not an industry.

As for Building No. 666, the asset management company I inherited from my parents currently only holds 60% of the shares, and the last is the just-registered Meta Investment Company. In a sense, there is really no one that is completely owned by itself and can be regarded as an industry.

I don't know if the acquisition of the "New York Observer" is successful, can it be regarded as completing this task?William Chen felt it was worth a try.

When William Chen took out his phone and called Nelson to talk about the acquisition of the "New York Observer", the other party told him that he was still negotiating with Robert De Niro, and the other party asked for $800 million to sell. And also bear the newspaper's $300 million in debt.

This is equivalent to a total of 1100 million US dollars to buy this newspaper. Although this price is not unaffordable for William Chen, he certainly does not want to be taken advantage of.

Robert De Niro made a good plan, used the influence of this newspaper to the full, and then created a foreign debt of 300 million US dollars, and now he wants to give it to himself at the original price, which is equivalent to more than two years of whoring for nothing If the newspaper is really taken over at this price, I am afraid Chen William will have another act of prodigal.

Anyway, this newspaper is the best for him, even if he can't get it, he won't have too much regret. After all, he knows that the future era will be the era of the Internet. If these paper media cannot be successfully transformed , the future will become more and more sad.

In Chen William's previous life, as far as he knew, not many traditional paper newspapers in the United States had truly transformed themselves, so even after he acquired the "New York Observer", he still had to reform it. , if he can't reach an agreement with Robert De Niro in the end, he might as well skip the print media and enter the Internet field.

Just like Twitter, which is still in the early stages of development, is also a good target, and Reddit, which developed well in the previous life.
