On the way back to Linton Manor, Shania, having likely calmed down from her excitement and still not being very familiar with Linton, became a bit shy and returned to her quiet demeanor.
Linton then took the initiative to start a conversation, asking her what her dream was.
Unexpectedly, Shania said that her dream was to earn money through music to help her younger siblings, allowing them to attend good universities, receive better education, and have a brighter future.
Linton also learned that Shania's parents had passed away early, and she, as the eldest in the family, had taken on the responsibility of raising her siblings at a young age.
Linton was deeply moved. He never expected Shania to be so loving and responsible, bearing such immense pressure and responsibility in her small frame, yet always maintaining her passion and dedication to music. No wonder she would soar to great heights in the future.
Now, with Daniel and his help, she would surely achieve even greater success than in her previous life, and he believed she would become an excellent Cultivate cauldron for him in the future.
He actively took her hand and said, "Your dream will come true very soon. Sing these songs well, and you will quickly become famous, earn a lot of money, and everything will get better."
"Yes, it all feels like a dream. Just a few days ago, I was still drifting around, looking for opportunities everywhere, and today I'm going to collaborate with a big star like you. It's truly God's favor."
"Opportunity and luck are very important, but your own strength is even more crucial. You have an excellent voice and musical talent. Work hard, and you will definitely succeed."
A dose of encouragement completely moved Shania, and she threw herself into Linton's arms.
"Linton, thank you. You are the first person to believe in me and encourage me so much. I will definitely work hard, learn from you, and let my singing spread throughout the United States and the world, loved by everyone."
As they approached the Linton Manor, Linton received a call from Mira, who happily reported:
"Linton, today we have settled all terms with Armani Men's Wear and Timex watches. We are preparing to sign the contracts tomorrow and the day after.
Tomorrow at 8:30 AM, Carnes and I will pick you up at your house, and we'll go to the Armani Los Angeles branch together."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Ignoring the paparazzi still waiting at the gate, Nicole drove the car directly into the Linton Manor.
The luxury of the Linton Manor completely stunned Shania, far exceeding her wildest imagination, and at the same time, it gave her a goal to strive for.
After dinner, the two diligently practiced their duet songs in the practice Room. Linton discovered that Shania's voice, vocal range, and singing skills were all superb, fully meeting the requirements of a top singer.
Although she was older and started late, these were not issues for a singer.
He had to admire Daniel's vision and sheer luck; this was like finding a money tree.
After practicing, Linton took her to the terrace garden outside the master bedroom on the third floor and opened a bottle of red wine.
Under the starry sky, the two enjoyed fine wine, admired the night view of Beverly Hills, and discussed their understanding and aspirations for music.
Slowly, the two figures drew closer and closer, eventually becoming intertwined. Shania maintained her last bit of sobriety. "Not here. Carry me into the Room."
Then the battle began. Although Shania's popularity was not high and could not yet help Linton's Cultivate, her combat ability was not bad. She was eager to please, trying various styles and positions, and her melodious singing continued endlessly.......
When Linton woke up the next day, he pressed the call button by the bed.
Amy, the housekeeper, brought in two bags and then withdrew. Each bag contained a brand new set of Dior clothes, including underwear and a skirt suit.
Shania asked Linton in surprise, "I was just wondering what to do about clothes. I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful. But I'm curious, how did Amy know my size?"
"Last night when you arrived, I told Amy. She's a senior housekeeper; she's very accurate at judging people's body sizes. She immediately notified the Dior boutique to send two sets of clothes in your size."
His methods were so practiced and seasoned; it seemed the newspapers were right about Linton being a Young Master. Shania gained a clearer understanding of Linton.
However, after so many years of hardship, she had deeply realized the importance of opportunity and the support of a benefactor, which was why she had not hesitated to shed her feminine reserve and proactively gotten into Linton's car yesterday.
After washing up, Linton asked Shania, "I have business to attend to today. Will you continue practicing songs here or go back to the company to practice?"
"I'll go back to the company to practice. I'm not used to being here alone when you're not around."
"Okay, I'll have someone send you later."
"Can I still come here in the future?"
"Of course, you can. Call me when you want to come."
After breakfast, Linton had his security, Hayden-Koman, drive Shania back to the city in his old Cadillac, instructing him to shake off any paparazzi.
At 8:30 AM, Mira and Carnes arrived at Linton Manor with Armani stylists, makeup artists, and Armani clothing.
Under the meticulous care of the makeup artists and stylists, Linton, dressed in the latest Armani suit, appeared even more handsome, dashing, and extraordinary.
The Armani Los Angeles branch attached great importance to this signing and held a small signing ceremony.
The most important contents of the contract were two points: The first was that Armani hired Linton as the spokesperson for Armani suits, with an annual endorsement fee of 3.8 million US dollars, for a contract period of two years.
Linton was required to cooperate with Armani in shooting relevant endorsement advertisements (print and video), attend one Armani promotional event annually, and receive a lump sum payment after the advertisements were filmed and confirmed by both parties.
The second point was that in public, Linton could only wear Armani suits and no other brand of suits; otherwise, it would be a breach of contract, with a penalty of 6 million dollars.
In the presence of numerous media, Linton and Armani signed the clothing endorsement contract.
During interviews with reporters on site, Armani executives praised Linton's excellent image and temperament, calling him an ideal partner for Armani, and stated that this signing would usher in a new chapter for their cooperation.
Linton, in turn, thanked Armani for their trust and regard, and highly praised Armani as a high-end clothing brand company with brand essence and wide influence.
For the sake of the red envelopes, the reporter friends first completed the signing interview with Armani and Linton in a proper manner.
Afterward, they all began to ask about Linton's film, but Linton consistently answered with principle:
"This is my endorsement signing ceremony with Armani. Please do not deviate from the topic. Regarding the film, if there are any new developments, Linton Studio will inform everyone in a timely manner."
In the afternoon, at Mira's arrangement, Linton visited the Los Angeles Children's Welfare Institute to see the children there.
He sang songs for the children on site, personally made cakes for them, and finally left a donation check of 500,000 US dollars for the welfare institute.
Of course, Ili also invited several media outlets, including "Entertainment New Power," to cover the entire event.
Unexpectedly, on the way back to Linton Manor from the welfare institute, he received a call from Shania, asking if it would be convenient for her to come to the Linton Manor to practice songs that evening.
Linton thought to himself that it wasn't just about practicing songs; she must have developed a taste for it. He immediately instructed Hayden-Koman to drive and pick her up.
The evening naturally repeated the story of yesterday: the two practiced songs, tasted wine, enjoyed the view, admired flowers, and engaged in various activities, both finding endless pleasure and fully releasing their passion.......
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Linton again had his security, Hayden-Koman, drive Shania back to the city in his old Cadillac, avoiding paparazzi, and told Shania that he would be going to Connecticut for the next two days to sign a watch endorsement contract with Timex.
The signing with Timex was very smooth. The signing process was basically the same as with Armani, and the terms of cooperation were also similar.
The annual endorsement fee was 3.8 million US dollars, for a contract period of two years.
After signing the contract, Timex presented Linton with four Timex watches on the spot, for him to wear in various public occasions in the future.
Afterward, Goodman returned to Los Angeles alone, while the others stayed in Connecticut to continue filming the Timex watch commercial.
In the evening, Mira and Carnes came to Linton's Room, turned on the TV, and tuned to a movie channel.
It was a film interview program, and the guests were all Hollywood professionals, including Harvey Weinstein, the president of Miramax.
The host was asking the guests for their opinions on Linton investing in and directing a film. The guests had varying attitudes, some pessimistic, some supportive.
When it was Harvey's turn to speak, he clearly showed his optimism about Linton and publicly invited Linton to collaborate with Miramax.
It seemed that Linton's investment in making a film had already sparked widespread discussion, with even TV programs joining in to capitalize on the buzz.
But surprisingly, unlike the media's collective pessimism, Hollywood professionals and audiences had mixed reviews, which greatly pleased Linton and his team.
"Linton, Harvey has publicly invited you to collaborate with him. Should we go to him?"
"Harvey isn't truly interested in collaborating with me; he's interested in my money. Besides, we've already found a distribution company, so let's not create unnecessary complications," Linton said calmly.
Because the watch advertisement shoot was simple and the photography team hired by Timex was quite reliable, it only took one day to shoot all the material.
On the evening of the 4th, everyone returned to Los Angeles.
