Chapter 109： On the bulletin board

Chapter 109: Bulletin Board

In the living room, Taylor was sitting on the sofa, holding a wooden guitar in his arms, playing the tune of "Despacito" tinklingly. When he saw the two people returning to the small living room, he pressed the strings and asked, "Are you there?" What to do?”

“Selena said you are so tall and she envies you.” Link put down his backpack and smiled.

Selena glared at him with a bulging face, and wanted to cover his mouth, but she couldn't do it even if she stretched out her hand.

“Envy me?”

Taylor looked at Selena in surprise and smiled, "I should be envious of you. How could you envy me? Do you think growing taller is good?"

“Isn’t it good?” Selena asked sitting next to Taylor.

“No, I used to be a fat girl in school.”

Taylor stopped and glanced at Link, "Girls chatting, men please leave."

Link shrugged his shoulders and went to the kitchen to make something for the two of them.

Taylor told Selena about what happened to her in school. She used to be a little fat, a little hunchbacked, and often walked around the school carrying a big guitar. Everyone called her a weird girl, and no one wanted to talk to her. No one invited her to sit down for lunch at school, and she had almost no friends.

"It's not good to be too tall at all, Selena. I envy girls like you the most. You have a good figure, are beautiful and cute, just like the princesses in fairy tales. Girls like you, no matter at home or You must be very popular in school, right?”

Taylor touched her fluffy braids and said enviously.

Selena blinked her big eyes and thought for a moment. She was the only daughter in the family, and she was pampered by an aunt. She was indeed very pampered at home.

The same is true in school. Because of her beauty, boys like to show off in front of her and want to date her. She is also the dance queen of the school and a star. Anyway, she has never been ignored since she was a child.

Thinking of this, she felt that it was really good for her to be like this, and she became more and more affectionate towards Taylor.

“Are we good sisters again?”

Link came out with a plate of cut fruit and saw the two of them laughing and joking together like good sisters. He couldn't help but feel that girls' emotions develop so quickly.

“Hmph! Link, you’d better not bully Taylor, or Taylor and I will beat you together.”

Selena clenched her little fists and threatened him.

“I understand, you are a combination.”

Link smiled softly, sat down and listened to the two chatting, and then started learning the guitar.

Selena is also a singer and can also play the guitar. Although she is not as good as Taylor, she is much better than Link. She can play decently with a guitar on her shoulder.

So when Link was studying, Selina would follow Link as a student and ask Taylor for advice, and then follow Taylor as a teacher, criticizing Link for being too stupid and saying that she could play with her toes better than him.

In the afternoon, the Steinway piano store in New York sent a car to deliver the grand piano he ordered to his door, and he learned piano from Taylor.

In addition, the media are still hyping up the fact that through his continuous efforts, the poor boy Link has gained both fame and fortune, and he has also fallen in love with the rich girl Miss Thompson. He can be called a model of a comeback, an enhanced version of the United States. Dream.

The Los Angeles Times said that Link’s story is more exciting than Hollywood movies and looks forward to the release of movies related to him.

Seeing these messy news, Link called Ivaca and asked if he wanted to come forward to clarify.

Ivaca said that she would not make a public explanation for the time being, and that she could promote the boxing match between him and Tyson through scandals in the future.

This is very beneficial to him personally and to Thompson Entertainment.

Link has no objection either.

However, a reporter from "USA Today" interviewed Mr. Tomp at a public event and asked him if he knew that Link and Ivaca were dating.

Mr. Thompson expressed his ignorance, and the reporter asked him if he would interfere if the two of them were in a relationship.

 Mr. Thompson said no in an arrogant manner, expressing that he liked the young man Link very much.

The media then speculated that Link had been recognized by Mr. Thompson and had the opportunity to marry into the Thompson family.

Link smiled when he saw the news. If he hadn't known Mr. Thompson's personality and that Ivaca would marry a wealthy man in the future, he would have almost believed it.

When this song became popular, many record companies in the United States also extended an olive branch to Link, hoping to cooperate with him and help him release records.

His song can be on the Billboard without charting. If there is a professional team to promote and market it, it has a great chance to top the Latin song chart. It has a chance to break into the top of the Bill Board Hot 100 singles chart. 20, or even higher.
