"There's no plan. Like I said before, Kim still has a year of college left and I just want to spend more time with her during this year. And I'm not good at handling business matters."

Brian is actually not that old, just over 50 years old, but he must have experienced a lot of harsh environments when he was young, and the wrinkles on the corners of his eyes and forehead are very obvious.

Compared with the cool old CIA Joe Mason and the relatively cheerful bald Frank, Brian has a more gloomy temperament and an extremely low-key style of doing things. He is the type that would be completely unnoticed if thrown into a crowd.

Such a person is most suitable for two professions: killer or bodyguard of important persons. Jack estimates that he should be good at both jobs.

"What about a year from now? Enjoying life on the beach in Los Angeles? I know your retirement benefits should be generous, but isn't it a little too early for you?"

Jack pointed to Joan Jett who was singing "I Hate Myself For Loving You" on the stage and said, "Just like this rock queen, she is over 60 this year, right? But she can still contribute such passionate rock music."

Being able to enjoy celebrity performances backstage through the side channel is probably one of the few benefits of this job. Jack also listens to music, but he is not interested in singers or stars at all.

Joan Jett, the Queen of Rock, is one of the few rock stars whose name he can remember. This old lady is an absolute legend. In the 1970s and 1980s, she single-handedly carved out a place for herself in the rock scene that was absolutely dominated by men, and influenced several generations.

Perhaps many Chinese people may be unfamiliar with the name Joan Jett, but in fact most people have probably heard the song "I Hate My Foolishness" covered by Edward Wah.

"You can form a team first. The cooperation between Laila and Shangri-La will become increasingly deeper, and there will be more and more situations like today that you cannot handle alone.

You said you wanted to be with your daughter Kim, but what about Laila?" Jack asked loudly while shaking his legs to the rhythm.

Seeing the complicated look on Brian's face, someone secretly smiled triumphantly.

He had noticed before that this old guy not only treated Leila as an employer, but also doted on her as his own daughter. Even the way he looked at Red was filled with the scrutiny of a father-in-law.

Jack continued to make his offer, "And didn't you say your daughter Kim wanted to be a star? You must have seen a lot of shit in the entertainment industry following Leila. Are you really willing to let her wallow in the mud alone?

You should also be familiar with our style of doing things. Shangri-La cannot guarantee that it will make your daughter famous, but at least it can keep her away from drugs and hidden rules."

"What do I need to do?" Perhaps because Jack's words reminded him of something, Brian's cheek twitched involuntarily.

Jack chuckled, knowing that he had basically convinced him, "You don't have to worry about business matters, just be responsible for managing the security team, just do whatever you like."

"I'll seriously consider it, boss."

Hearing that Brian even changed his address, Jack was overjoyed and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Call me Jack. Chris is the boss. I will finalize this matter with him as soon as possible. You can tell your daughter the good news now. Chris will arrange a suitable agent and necessary training courses for her."

He was not worried at all whether Brian's daughter had the talent to become a star. The original character of this role was Maggie Grace, who had played important roles in the American TV series "Lost" and "Twilight".

What impressed people most was probably her role as the female lead in the movie "Space One", where her looks were quite attractive.

Seeing Brian change his gloomy expression, excitedly picking up his phone and walking towards the lounge, Jack smiled and secretly sighed in his heart how pitiful the love of parents in the world is.

The performance on the stage is still going on. Many big-name singers have come today, and there are more than ten thousand people in the audience. Leila usually sings and has never released an album. Today she is just here as a guest to show support and will not stay for the entire concert.

At this time, there was a small commotion backstage. Jack thought Leila was about to leave, but when he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw two familiar faces.

"Casel, Alexis, here."

When the great writer saw Jack, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he walked towards him with his arms around his daughter and another familiar-looking girl.

"Why are you here?" they both asked in unison.

"I'm here to act as a bodyguard, what about you?" Jack said concisely.

Cassel curled his lips, looking a little disappointed, "Alexis and her new friend wanted to ask the rock queen and the female star Leila for an autograph, so I brought them backstage."

Jack knew what this guy was disappointed about. He probably thought that a murder had occurred at the scene the moment he saw him. His detective addiction had come back again.

He greeted Alexis and looked at the girl next to her who was slightly older than her. The more he looked at her, the more familiar she looked. "Alexis, so who is your new friend?"

"Kim Mills, the stepdaughter of oil tycoon Stuart, her mother brought her to New York for a visit."

Before Cassel finished speaking, there was a surprised cry from the side. Brian, who was holding his phone and frowning as he walked out of the lounge, hugged the girl next to Alexis.

"Kim!"

"father!"

"Uh?"

Looking at the father and daughter hugging each other, Cassel swallowed the words that came to his lips and poked Jack secretly, "What's going on?"

Jack didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Just as he was talking to Brian about his daughter, she appeared magically.

After several people introduced themselves to each other, they finally figured out what was going on. It turned out that Cassel, who had a wide circle of friends, had a friend named Stuart who was an oil tycoon.

This Stewart married Brian's ex-wife, and Brian's daughter Kim now lives with her mother, making her this Stewart's stepdaughter.

Kim knew that her biological father had been working as a bodyguard for the "big star" Leila. This time, she pestered her mother to go to New York to find her biological father and to see the New York Fashion Week.

Then Stewart asked his New York friend, the great writer Cassel, to take care of his wife and stepdaughter, because he happened to have a daughter, Alexis, who was about the same age as his stepdaughter.

Even though Jack had long been accustomed to this messy world of self-interpretation in movies and TV shows, he still found it a little unbelievable.

I was thinking about whether I should turn around and hint to Brian that he should never agree if his daughter wanted to go to Paris, France or not, or take Alexis with him when I take her there.
