Chapter 516 Party at Father-in-law's House
On the eve of Christmas, Link and Evaka took little Margarita back to New York for the holiday.
This was also the request of the old father-in-law.
In November, the old father-in-law kept calling to persuade the two to go back to New York for Christmas, saying that more people would make the holiday more lively.
Link and Evaka couldn't stand the old father-in-law's nagging, so they agreed.
After returning to New York, the old father-in-law held a grand party at the Thompson Manor, inviting more than 500 celebrities from New York and the East Coast.
It was said that it was to celebrate the birth of the little princess Margarita, and also to let the couple get to know more people.
Hearing the old father-in-law say this, Link and Evaka would not refuse. That day, he followed the old father-in-law to meet a lot of business tycoons, political celebrities, and New York wealthy tycoons.
In terms of wealth, fame, and influence, these people may not be as good as Link, but they are part of the American upper-class social network, and the power of unity can sometimes influence the political situation.
During the conversation, Link also saw clearly the purpose of his father-in-law. In addition to helping him and Evaka expand their network, he also used his fame and influence to win over helpers.
The father-in-law also participated in the election this year and planned to move to the white house in Washington, but unfortunately he failed.
Maybe he was unwilling to give up and was ready to make a comeback.
Link said he didn't mind. If the father-in-law could succeed, it would be good for his and Evaka's careers.
At the party, he also met Peter Peltz, David Zuckerman, and Luther Detsch. These three people, led by their fathers or grandfathers, took the initiative to apologize to him, saying that they were jealous of his success and jealous that he could pick up Evaka, so they did those things.
Link looked at the three people with interest, "What's the matter?"
The three looked at each other, embarrassed.
Finally, it was Luther Detsch who said that they were also involved in the news that hyped him up as a scumbag in the media last year and the year before last. They wanted to discredit him in this way, but Link's blood was too thick, and those negative news had no effect on him at all.
Link remembered that he was under a lot of pressure because of the scandal last year and the year before last.
Since the second half of last year, he has become more low-key and more covert when dealing with the opposite sex. The negative news about him in the media has also decreased significantly. Many media said that he began to turn back after getting engaged to Eva Ka.
As time went by, his reputation became better and better, and the negative news about him in the media became less and less.
By July and August, he won 12 gold medals, 3 silver medals and 1 bronze medal in the London Olympics, setting an amazing record and being praised by all American media.
In that month, almost all media were praising him.
All kinds of beautiful and positive words were piled up on him.
Even though he has many rumored girlfriends and many illegitimate children, he is considered by the media to be masculine, strong, fertile, and masculine, and a man among men.
After being purged by the mainstream media for more than a month, he has once again become a great public figure, not only a superstar, but also a great idol, admired by many people.
The black materials that were exposed in the media in the past have become worthless again.
If someone criticizes him as a scumbag in the media, those fans and netizens will help him speak, saying that he is so powerful and rich, so what's wrong with having more women? A strong human like him should reproduce more offspring.
And Link only has some flaws in his private life, and he is a perfect idol in other aspects.
Now even if someone wants to retaliate with public opinion, he can't find a breakthrough.
"Link, you are so powerful. I dare say that even if you have a hundred girlfriends and a hundred illegitimate children now, no one will call you a scumbag. It is normal for a powerful guy like you to have more girlfriends."
Luther Detsch shrugged his shoulders and said.
Link shook his head, looked at the three people and smiled, "Anything else? I want to hear what you did in the past."
"Okay, there is one more thing. We wanted to arrange a few beauties to approach you to see if there is a chance to trick you, but unfortunately we didn't succeed once. You are much more difficult to deal with than we thought."
Luther Detsch said.
Link smiled lightly, and he could tell that the other party was trying to please him.
"Link, we were ignorant before, thinking that we were all the same age, why were you so powerful, we were not convinced, but now we have to be unconvinced, you are really too powerful.
Not only are you a world boxing champion, a superstar, and the greatest athlete in the world, but you are also too successful in business.
You and Evaka made the small Link Music into billions of dollars, and Lionsgate Films worth hundreds of millions of dollars was also made into 2 billion by you in two years.
Don't say we can't do this, our grandfather and father can't do it either.
If we continue to be your opponent, we will definitely lose, so it's better to surrender as soon as possible."
Luther Detsch said.
"Okay, I understand."
"Then, can you forgive us?"
Luther Detsch asked.
Link looked at him, then at Peter Peltz and David Zuckerman who were embarrassed. "We are all the same age, and I don't want to have an unpleasant experience with you. As long as you don't bother me in the future, I won't focus on these meaningless things."
"Understood, we promise not to bother you again. If we do, we will probably lose our inheritance rights."
Luther Detsch looked at the elders who were talking to Old Thompson next to him and said.
"That's it, let's play together when we have time."
Link raised his glass to signal the three people, then turned around and joined the conversation of his father-in-law and several others.
These people are Nelson Peltz, a famous Wall Street investor, Mortimer Zuckerman, the owner of the New York Daily News, Donny Detsch, the president of EMS Advertising Company, and Peter Peltz, David Zuckerman, and Luther Detsch.
They are all billionaires, with a net worth ranging from more than 1 billion to more than 3 billion, and are frequent visitors to the Forbes rich list.
Originally, his net worth was higher than Link and his father-in-law. This year, Link's net worth has increased significantly, and his father-in-law's company is also doing well. Now his net worth is higher than the three.
However, these three are also New York wealthy families with huge family businesses and deep connections.
Taking this into consideration, when Luther Detsch and the other two came to apologize, he chose to accept it temporarily.
As for whether he will forgive them, it depends on their future performance.
If they really repent sincerely and stop doing anything against him, he can forgive them on the premise that their past actions did not cause much damage to him.
If they apologize on the surface but are still doing small things behind the scenes, he is not a soft-hearted person.
"Link, how was the chat with Luther and the others?"
The old father-in-law and the others asked with concern.
"Not bad."
Link shrugged his shoulders.
——
"Why didn't you talk just now?"
At the party, Luther Detsch looked at his two companions unhappily and asked.
"You can just say it, we don't need to say anything more."
Peter Peltz said with a curled mouth.
"You don't want to apologize to Link? Are you still thinking about targeting Link with Ryan, Josie and the others?"
"Don't talk nonsense."
David Zuckerman glanced at Mortimer Zuckerman, who was chatting with Link, and pulled Luther away.
Originally, they didn't plan to apologize to Link, but their family members knew from nowhere that they didn't get along with Link, criticized them severely, and asked them to come and apologize to Link.
If you dare to target Link again, not only will your pocket money be deducted, but your inheritance rights will also be deprived.
They had no choice but to come here.
But after seeing Link, they were so embarrassed that they couldn't open their mouths.
"I don't care what you think. From now on, I will not participate in anything targeting Link. That guy is too powerful. He is less than 24 years old and worth more than 6 billion US dollars. My father said that Link will become one of the richest people in the world in the future. It will not do us any good to go against him, and it will also affect the family business."
Luther Detsch said.
"I know, my grandfather also told me that this guy is very powerful no matter what he does. If he wants to go into politics in the future, relying on his fame and wealth, and the relationship with the Evaka family, he may become president."
David Zuckerman sighed.
"How can this guy be so powerful?"
Peter Peltz frowned and looked at Link in the crowd. The crowd was full of elderly people in their 50s and 60s, billionaires, and Link was the only young man, but he stood in the middle of the group and talked, and it didn't seem abrupt at all.
Although he didn't like Link, he had to admit that Link was a very powerful guy. His achievements made all his contemporaries feel ashamed. Even Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, didn't dare to say that he was better than Link when facing him.
"This kind of person is a genius. Ordinary people can't compare. Unfortunately, we are all ordinary people."
Luther said helplessly.
"We apologize to Link. How will Ryan explain it if he knows?"
David Zuckerman asked.
The reason why they had a conflict with Link was mainly due to the influence of Ryan Kunas Jr.
"Don't worry about him. Ryan is the eldest son of the Kunas family, but we are not."
Luther said.
David Zuckerman and Peter Peltz nodded and accepted his statement.
"Look, Ryan is there."
Peter Peltz pointed to the crowd not far away.
Kunas Jr. was wearing a high-end suit and holding a glass of wine to talk to Ivaka in the crowd. Evaka just nodded politely, then turned and walked to Link, intimately holding Link's arm, with their fingers crossed.
Link was wearing a well-fitting suit, with a strong and upright figure and a masculine and handsome appearance, and was always the focus of attention of the women at the scene.
Evaka was wearing a slim banquet dress, with a tall and plump figure, matched with her dignified and cold face, exquisite hairstyle and accessories, like a tulip growing on the clouds, and always attracted the attention of the men at the scene.
The two stood together, looking very well matched, and they were also the most enviable couple.
Peter Peltz also noticed that after Evaka left, little Kunas was still staring at Evaka, his face was gloomy and pale, his eyes showed sadness and anger, like a poor abandoned person.
"Should we go and persuade Ryan?"
Peter Peltz asked.
"Here? Forget it, if Link saw us and thought we were in the same group with Ryan, and continued to deal with him, then our thick-skinned apology would be wasted."
Luther Detsch said.
Peter Peltz and David Zuckerman thought what he said made sense, so they greeted little Kunas from a distance and walked into the crowd to continue enjoying the party.
