Chapter 196 Welcome to the Big Apple! Violent Driving of Hill
Chapter 196 Welcome to the Big Apple! Hilton's Violent Driving!
"Lin, what are you thinking about? The way you smile is so lewd!" The next afternoon, on the plane to New York, Barkley, who had lost everything early on, approached Lin Tian, trying to figure out what the guy was up to from the smile on his face.
"So, when you get to New York, who'll be with you? Jennifer Connelly or Charlize Theron? Or maybe that other girl, that long-legged, full-lipped, incredibly sexy girl? I can't remember her name, but Reggie told me she just won the Ballon d'Or? Is she a soccer player?"
"Angelina Jolie, Charles, you need to remember her name. Also, she doesn't play soccer, and the full name of that award is the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Television Series! Not the Golden Globe for soccer. Don't you even know that?"
Lin Tian looked at Barkley, and Barkley looked at Lin Tian. Then Lin Tian realized that this guy really didn't know what the Golden Globe Awards were. In his little brain, being able to remember the Oscars and the Grammys was already an extraordinary achievement.
"So, it was Julie who came to keep you company?" Barkley's expression was noticeably gloomy, and he looked quite disappointed.
"No, what exactly are you trying to say?"
"Lin, could you let Jennifer come keep you company? I've always been a fan of hers! You two can stay next door to me, really, I just want you to be close to the wall so I can hear you and feel a little involved! That's my only small request, Lin!"
"Don't go, Lin, where are you going? Let's talk this over. If the next room isn't an option, can you use the raincoat I prepared? I just want to feel involved..."
Lin Tian was too lazy to listen to Barkley's nonsense. He stood up and walked towards the toilet.
It also fosters a sense of participation.
That's absolutely insane!
When did this fatso become so perverted?
Or is he always been this perverted?
The journey from Vancouver to New York takes just over two hours. When the plane landed at the New York airport, the sun was still high in the sky.
Lin Tian, Barkley, Miller, Rose, and Crosher, who was going to participate in the Rising Stars Challenge, got off the plane one after another and prepared to leave through the VIP channel. They had to find a hotel first, then put down their luggage, and then, of course, have some fun in New York!
This is New York!
The largest city in the US and even the world, you can have anything you want to do if you have the money!
For example, Miller told Lin Tian that there was a church in Brooklyn.
Although it is a church, it is the favorite place of devil believers.
As for Barkley, the place he most wanted to go was a very high-end single-level apartment in Manhattan, where the specialty was "disabled meals".
Once you arrive here, you can simply assume you have high-level paraplegia. You don't need to do anything, not even move your fingers. Just wait for the therapists to come.
In addition, before they came here, Bird secretly told Lin Tian about a place.
This place is a film set in New Jersey, where you can act or direct.
As for what he will act in or what he will direct.
On buses, subways, schools, offices, airplanes, the White House, the Statue of Liberty...
Both!
However, Bird also said that the professionalism of this place is not as good as the place he went to with Magic Johnson in Los Angeles. Los Angeles is the professional place to do this kind of thing. They can even do it on Jurassic Park or Titanic!
As for Lin Tian... well, he's willing to try them all!
Men must be brave enough to try new things and explore new things in order to complete their exploration of the world!
What was that saying again?
I once dreamed of traveling the world with a sword.
Now, Lin Tian's sword has been honed to an unparalleled sharpness and is ready to be drawn at any time!
Therefore, Barkley's questions seemed quite uninteresting.
You're already in New York, do you still need someone to accompany you?
No need!
I, Lin, will spend quality time with the girls in New York and show them the world's splendor!
"Welcome to the Big Apple, guys, welcome! Ready for the perfect three-day trip?" With his wrist still bandaged, Ewing, who had only played a little over 10 games this season due to injury, spread his arms wide with a big smile, looking extremely happy.
By all accounts, this doesn't seem like a hapless guy who's going to miss most of the season due to injury and hasn't been selected for the All-Star team.
He's in such high spirits!
However, Lin Tian soon found out why this guy was so happy. He was so happy that even his wrist injury, the team's poor performance, and his failure to make the All-Star team couldn't make him feel down.
Jordan didn't make the starting lineup either!
As soon as Ewing saw Lin Tian and Miller, he excitedly shouted, "You two have to stay! You have to stay and wait for Michael with me! That guy isn't here for another 30 minutes. If you two don't come with me to pick him up right away, I'll regret it for the rest of my life!"
"This historic meeting should be remembered no matter what!"
"Lin Tian and Miller, and their All-Star reserve, the great Michael Jordan! Hahaha, this one image is enough to make me happy for a whole year!"
Michael Jordan has truly offended countless people throughout his life.
The entire league was full of defeated opponents, all old enemies. They couldn't beat them on the court, they couldn't beat them in verbal battles, and they were completely dominated by Jordan in the series. This group of stars who rose to fame in the 90s, regardless of their personal relationships with Jordan or with each other.
But they all share one common hobby: watching Jordan make a fool of himself!
There really is nothing happier than this!
So, after hearing that Jordan would arrive in just 30 minutes, Lin Tian, Miller, and Barkley chose to stay without hesitation!
As Ewing said, this is a scene you absolutely cannot miss!
As for Ross and Crosier, well, none of the people present asked them if they wanted to stay; they simply ignored them.
Compared to this rare opportunity to bully Jordan, politeness? Politeness is worthless!
Today, Ewing was in a good mood and took his whole crew to a silver party!
I promise to make up for any rudeness!
While waiting for Jordan, Lin Tian suddenly remembered something.
Although there aren't many people of his generation who have been beaten up by him yet, there will definitely be many in the future.
The reason we're not beating them up much right now is simply because these guys haven't matured yet.
But later on, Kobe, Iverson, Kidd, Nash, Ray Allen, Marbury, Garnett, Webber, Duncan...
Well, Duncan isn't afraid. When he gets angry, he'll just pull his teammates' hair for fun; he wouldn't do something so pointless.
Of course, there are also those who entered the league a few years later, after 00, such as LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony, and Chris Paul...
These guys are probably going to get beaten up by Lin Tian for years to come.
Tsk tsk tsk, that's a bit scary.
Otherwise, why not just retire early and find some other fun?
Just as Lin Tian was lost in thought and continuing to clear his mind, the walkie-talkie that Ewing had been holding in his healthy hand suddenly rang: "Patrick, Patrick, the flight from Chicago has landed. Jordan should be there in 5-10 minutes."
"Patrick, got it!" Ewing switched off the walkie-talkie, turned to the Pacers, and said, "Ready? Let's give Michael a grand welcome!"
A group of people immediately rubbed their hands together, scattered, and waited for Jordan to arrive.
Five minutes later, Ewing opened his arms and shouted, "Welcome back to the Big Apple, Michael, Happy All-Star Weekend!"
Wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, and dressed in a baseball jersey, Jordan kept his head down, completely ignoring Ewing, and quickened his pace, rushing forward with his head down.
None of these guys are good people. How could Jordan not know what these bastards are up to?
He didn't bother with Ewing and Miller at all; he only wanted to get away as quickly as possible.
"What are you doing, Michael! The guys are waiting for you! I've got a huge party going on tonight, with one theme: celebrating Michael's first time making the All-Star team as a substitute! We have to celebrate!"
"Patrick, that's not what you just said! You just said that tonight's theme is celebrating Reggie's second All-Star start!" Barkley immediately spoke up indignantly, protesting for Miller.
"You just told me that the party was to celebrate me getting 400 million votes and breaking Michael's record from last year," Lin Tian added sinisterly from the side, while seemingly casually grabbing Jordan's arm.
The group had now surrounded Jordan, trapping him from all sides. Of course, if it weren't for Lin Tian, Jordan could have escaped if he wanted to, since the people on the scene were either skinny, fat, or disabled.
But with Lin Tian there, he very kindly grabbed Jordan's elbow with one hand, and then Jordan realized that now, not only could he not run away, but even which direction he went was up to Lin Tian!
For no apparent reason, he found himself following Lin Tian's directions!
As soon as Jordan struggled to break free, he felt waves of sharp pain coming from his arm. He felt that if he used a little more force, he would break his arm!
Judging from Lin Tian's appearance, he clearly didn't use any force, or even exert any strength at all; he was simply holding Jordan's elbows with both hands.
I, Michael Jordan, have never experienced anything like this in my life.
Jordan was so aggrieved that he really wanted to cry, but the group was used to teasing each other like this. He often had the chance to provoke Ewing and Miller, so when he really got angry, he couldn't quite bring himself to do it.
Simply put, it's incredibly frustrating! So frustrating I want to die!
"Haha." Just when Jordan was feeling incredibly frustrated and had nowhere to vent his anger, he suddenly heard Rose laughing, who had been watching the show from the sidelines.
Now there's a place to vent!
"Who the hell do you think you are? My friends and I are just messing around, what's it to you? You have the right to laugh? What's your name again? Never mind! Next time we meet, I'll beat you to your knees and make you call me daddy, or I'm not Michael!"
"And you two rookie idiots behind him, you better get the hell out of here right now, or I guarantee you'll regret coming to New York! What are you? You have no self-awareness at all, daring to joke with me? You're not worthy!"
Jordan's sudden outburst and swearing left Rose and Crosher completely bewildered.
What's going on?
Weren't we just fine a moment ago? How come we're acting like we've swallowed gunpowder when it comes to the two of us?
Rose, who has been very arrogant lately, was now turning pale and then red. Judging from his expression, he actually seemed to want to come up and exchange a few words with Jordan. Fortunately, Crosier next to him held him down firmly, otherwise, the first big news of this year's All-Star Game would have been made tonight!
Jordan punches All-Star rookie, deepening the animosity between Indiana and Chicago!
Fortunately, Rose was a coward who was all bark and no bite. With Crosher holding him back, he was persuaded to leave after snorting angrily a few times, and did not go after Jordan to cause trouble.
As for the rest of the group? They completely ignored Ross and the other two. Ewing took the lead, excitedly shouting, "Let's go! Let's have a party! Let's celebrate for Michael!"
Lin Tian held Jordan down, while Miller and Barkley roared from either side as the group headed toward the car Ewing had prepared.
As a top billionaire who once earned $18 million a year, Ewing's off-court income was almost zero, but he was the king of New York for so many years, and the places he arranged would never disappoint.
On the rooftop of the Hilton Hotel, Ewing prepared a very luxurious and lively pool party!
When Lin Tian and his group took the elevator to the top floor, they were greeted by dozens of sexy girls in bikinis and many Knicks players. In addition, stars who lived closer to New York and arrived earlier, such as Tim Hardaway, Glen Rice, and Antoine Walker, were also there!
Lin Tian, who had just felt a chill downstairs, now felt surprisingly warm, even a little hot!
"Quiet! Guys, quiet!" As soon as Ewing appeared on the rooftop, a staff member brought him a microphone, clearly something Ewing had arranged beforehand. He shouted into the microphone, "Guys, let's welcome tonight's star, Michael Jordan!"
This was definitely the time in Jordan's life when he least wanted to be introduced or become the center of attention, because when he was noticed by everyone present, he was still being held in Lin Tian's arms.
Yes, of course. Although it was said to be an embrace, Jordan knew that he couldn't run away at all. As long as Lin Tian exerted even a little force, he would feel waves of sharp pain in his shoulder.
Lin Tian: I'm just showing off a little grappling technique that I learned from my grandfather!
After Ewing finished speaking, Houston and Jason immediately grabbed a red banner and quickly unfurled it, one on each side.
Congratulations to Michael Jordan on his first All-Star reserve selection!
The girls at the scene immediately started screaming and clapping, and the few star players who had arrived early were also laughing so hard they were doubled over. It wasn't easy for him to get such a chance to collectively mock Jordan!
It's a rare opportunity, so we must seize it and enjoy it to the fullest!
Seeing that the Knicks were starting to pull off some stunts, how could the Pacers guys be left behind? Miller and Barkley, in perfect unison, pulled out a banner from their bags as well.
"Barkley and Miller tearfully thanked Jordan for not taking their starting spots! We'll always be good buddies!"
"Michael, there's this too." Lin Tian also reached into his pocket and pulled out something that no one else present had ever seen before.
This is a specialty of China; thank you for the special banner.
Left: Thanks to Michael for not asking us for a starting spot.
Right side: Michael's selflessness is something we should always learn from.
Center: The Indiana people's forever best friend!
Lin Tian took the banner and stuffed it into Jordan's arms without saying a word. Then he patted Jordan on the shoulder and finally let him go.
At this point, Jordan is either unable to escape or has already lost face. If Jordan really wants to leave, then leave. I, Lin, am about to start playing!
Are you really going to sacrifice your own pleasure for one night just to embarrass Jordan?
That's way too exaggerated!
There's really no such deep-seated grudge!
As Ewing watched the shouts and atmosphere at the scene gradually build up, his voice growing louder and louder, he could no longer suppress it and shouted with all his might.
"Alright everyone, SHOW TIME!"
As Ewing cheered, Barkley, without even taking off his clothes, plunged straight into the swimming pool, causing a gasp and a huge splash!
Miller maintained his usual elegance—so elegant that he calmly and unhurriedly took off his clothes, took the swim trunks handed to him by the waiter, and put them on without blushing or feeling embarrassed at all. Then, he flipped over and jumped into the pool.
Lin Tian couldn't bring himself to change clothes in front of so many people, so he found a changing room, changed his clothes, and then joined the party.
"Who wants to sleep with Mutombo tonight?" Mutombo's hoarse, dry, and highly recognizable voice came from not far away. Lin Tian watched as two girls immediately clung to Mutombo, rubbing against him incessantly.
Then, amidst a burst of boisterous laughter, Mutombo, along with the two girls, vanished.
Here, Lin Tian completely shed his pretense and all burdens, throwing himself wholeheartedly into the revelry.
As for Jordan?
He has already given Lin Tian another 300 experience points tonight, so who has the mind to pay attention to him now!
Lin Tian refused to believe that Jordan could be thinking about himself while he was with the girls!
Wow... that's a bit too scary.
"I've caught you after all." A very loud voice, full of frivolity and casualness, came over. Lin Tian didn't need to turn around; just from the scent of the most popular Chanel perfume that wafted into his nose, he could guess that the owner of this hotel had arrived.
The famous Hilton Hotel heiress, known as America's number one socialite, makes those Kardashian girls, who will only be able to risk everything and become famous throughout the United States in about 10 years, seem like mere servants in front of Hilton.
Of course, besides being known as America's number one socialite, Hilton also has another, more resounding nickname.
America's No. 1 Stamp Collector!
Her boyfriends, or rather, the men she's been with, could probably circle Manhattan hand in hand. And it's not just a large number; they range from Nick Carter, the handsome Backstreet Boys star, to Greek shipping magnate Latsis, and then to yet another Greek shipping magnate, Niakos.
Then there's baseball player Reinhardt, guitarist Benki Madden, nightclub mogul Cy Waters, Hollywood director Phillips, Hollywood actor Vepperley, Zelka...
And these are just those who have publicly acknowledged and seriously dated; there are many others whose names are unknown to ordinary people.
In short, Hilton's main selling point is both quality and quantity.
Even though Hilton is not yet 20 this year, and most of those people haven't even started dating her yet, Lin Tian is certain that countless cars have already driven through Hilton's lane, making it very easy for rear-end collisions or traffic accidents to occur.
This is why Lin Tian was able to reject Hilton without hesitation, not even wanting to touch her.
There are many cars, and even traffic jams are not a big deal.
But what if the road is full of thorns and punctures Lin Tian's tires, or even damages the engine and transmission due to the poor road conditions, causing some irreversible damage? Then he would regret it!
When it's time for Lord Lin to control himself, he certainly can.
But things seem to be getting a little bad tonight.
As soon as Hilton arrived, the women who had been surrounding Lin Tian scattered almost instantly. Hilton then removed her bathrobe, revealing her swimsuit.
Well, although it's called a swimsuit, the swimsuit community would definitely not admit that what Hilton is wearing is a swimsuit.
How so?
All the fabric combined probably wouldn't be enough to make one baby glove.
"Is it beautiful?" Hilton sat down in the pool, almost touching Lin Tian completely.
"It looks good, but I don't like it." Lin Tian didn't quickly dodge away, as that would be too hurtful to his self-esteem. Feeling the free perk and the soft touch, Lin Tian confirmed: Hmm, it's the real deal!
"I have a gift for you." Hilton reached behind her, pulled out a document, and handed it to Lin Tian.
"It's not because your contract offer to me was too low that I dislike you," Lin Tian said, shrugging. "Besides, I don't like the feeling of being used as a prostitute."
"It's not a contract, it's a medical report." Hilton squinted and said, "But I've never met anyone so indifferent to money before. I must say, you've caught my attention! I even thought you liked men!"
"But you've been seen with so many girls that you can't count them on one hand. You must not dislike women."
"You know what? The more you act like this, the more I want to conquer you!"
"Wow, good heavens!" Lin Tian exclaimed repeatedly.
So this guy is following the domineering CEO route?
But even though he's a domineering CEO, what kind of operation is it to give him a medical examination report instead of a business contract?
"After analyzing it, I think there's only one reason why you don't touch me! I have to tell you: I'm very hygienic, this is my medical report from this morning." Hilton said, then suddenly moved closer to Lin Tian, pressing her body even flatter and almost touching his ear: "This was made especially for you."
With the medical examination report already out there, what else can Lin Tian say?
Lin Tian said that he had really underestimated his own charm.
My charm is so great that even a woman of Hilton's caliber would throw herself at me like this?
And "a medical report made especially for you"... is that considered a romantic phrase?
Lin Tian's thinking could only go this far.
Hilton's main selling point is simplicity and directness.
Seeing Lin Tian turn around to look at her, she didn't hesitate at all and immediately pressed herself against him, covering his mouth with her mouth. At the same time, her hands were not at all proper, groping him all over.
Lin Tian noticed that Hilton's eyes lit up instantly.
Then he took a deep breath and said, "Let's go to the room. It didn't disappoint me."
Throughout Lin Da Guanren's entire career, he has never been in such a passive position.
As expected of a girl from a top-tier wealthy family, her demeanor, confidence, and presence are unlike those of ordinary girls.
"Where is the room?"
"Up there." Hilton pointed to a corner of the rooftop terrace. Lin Tian noticed a round object that was being supported by a single pillar. It was about 3 meters above the ground and was supported by a few pillars and a staircase. At first, Lin Tian thought it was a decoration, but he didn't expect it to be a room.
At the same time, Lin Tian also noticed that there were four more similar circular rooms on the rooftop!
There is one in each of the four corners and one in the very center.
"Why not go to that one?" Lin Tian pointed to the tallest room in the very center, which was clearly in the prime spot.
"Aren't you Asians supposed to be very reserved? If you go up from there, everyone will notice, and I'm afraid you'll feel embarrassed."
Excuse me?
How could I, Lord Lin, possibly be embarrassed?
Without a second thought, Lin Tian walked straight toward the most prominent pillar in the middle.
Given Lin Tian and Hilton's appearance, status, and attractiveness, what difference would it make whether or not they go to the middle room?
That means you'll be the center of attention wherever you go!
Lin Tian carried Hilton, and on the way, he didn't forget to greet Jordan, who was already drunk, Reggie, who was on both sides, and Ewing, who could only have one on each side. Then, with everyone having knowing expressions, Lin Tian went straight up the stairs.
The apartment, which is only about 30 square meters, is fully equipped.
Not only did it have everything it should have, Lin Tian also saw a lot of things it shouldn't have had.
It really is... complete!
Hilton went to the bedside and pressed a couple of buttons. The curtains, which had been covering the entire room almost 360 degrees, immediately began to retract and were pulled together in an instant. Then Lin Tian discovered that the windows in this room were actually 360-degree surround type!
In other words, Lin Tian and the others are now in the room and can clearly see everything outside.
"Don't worry, it's a one-way mirror. I'm not that crazy." Hilton clung to Lin Tian again, resting her chin on his shoulder, and said, "What are we waiting for?"
Yeah, what are we waiting for?
That night, Lin Tian showed almost no mercy or pity!
Driving school vehicles don't need to be cherished.
Aggressive driving is the only option. Things like flooring the accelerator and burning tires at start-up, suddenly slamming on the brakes while driving at high speed, drifting through corners at high speed with the steering wheel turned to its full lock, fishtailing, or even taking off into the air and flying...
……
The next morning, or rather at noon, Lin Tian and Hilton got up almost at the same time. Neither of them had slept much the night before, having gone crazy all night. Fortunately, Lin Tian remembered to close the curtains again before going to sleep, otherwise, the bright New York morning sun would have woken them up at 7 a.m.
Lin Tian, who had enjoyed himself to the fullest last night, lay on the bed yawning. Hilton, who had also woken up, casually took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, lit one for himself, and then put one in Lin Tian's mouth. Then, he turned his head and tried to point the cigarette at Lin Tian.
Lin Tian instinctively took a step back, thinking that the woman was going to burn some kind of mark on his shoulder as a souvenir!
After all, if Lin Tian remembered correctly, in a few years, this girl would have tattoos of several of her boyfriends' names all over her body, proving that she really did have this hobby.
"Are you shy?" Hilton flipped over and sat on Lin Tian's lap, looking at him curiously.
There's an old Chinese saying: "A man who smokes cigarettes will have his wife die."
"You dead wife?" Hilton chuckled, then grabbed Lin Tian's face with both hands and leaned down again to hold the cigarette butt up to him.
"Anyway, it's not me who's going to die, so what am I afraid of?" Hilton straightened up again and looked at Lin Tian.
At this point, how should I put it?
Okay, time for morning exercise.
……
At noon, Hilton found some clothes somewhere and got dressed.
They also threw Lin Tian a suit and another document.
"I have to go back to the company for a meeting. Take a look at this contract. If there are no problems, sign it. It's $700 million a year. Once you sign it, you'll be the spokesperson for our group."
"700 million?" Lin Tian said, "I remember the last time you gave me was 1500 million."
What does this girl mean?
Dissatisfied? Did they deduct money from your paycheck?
"If you sign that contract, the Knicks will immediately sign another commercial contract with us of equal value as compensation, you know what I mean?" Hilton pointed to the contract on the bed and said, "The Knicks won't pay for that."
I see. One payment was made by a tycoon, and the other was paid for by Hilton himself. No wonder the amount differed so much.
However...
Is this what it feels like to be kept by a female CEO and then slept with?
Hilton, seeing Lin Tian's expression, was initially worried that he wouldn't accept the contract. Just as he was about to say something to persuade Lin Tian again, he noticed that Lin Tian had already quickly put the contract away.
"I need my agent to take a look. If there are no problems, I'll sign it, and then mail it directly to your headquarters?"
It's a fool not to take advantage of a good deal. They've already slept together, so why would Lin Tian pretend to be high and mighty at this point?
Why not take it if it's free?
Lin Tian left a few minutes later than Hilton. Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry, because this was the official hotel for the All-Star Game. He had only gone down from the top floor to the middle floor.
It's very convenient.
When Lin Tian reached the floor where all the Eastern Conference stars were gathered, he ran into Barkley and Miller coming out. As soon as the two guys saw Lin Tian, they walked over to his left and right and put their arms around his shoulders.
"How was it like sleeping with America's number one socialite?" Miller asked, patting Lin Tian on the shoulder.
"Where is she?" Miller looked around to make sure Lin Tian was alone, then grinned mischievously. "Did the worldly-wise Hilton get dissatisfied with your service and kick you out alone?"
Lin Tian was too lazy to waste words with these two bastards, so he tossed the contract Hilton had given him to them and said, "Whether you're satisfied or not, you can decide for yourselves."
"700 million?" Miller, as expected of a top shooter, has an excellent ability to find the key point and glanced at the contract amount.
"700 million for one night? FUXX! You could break a Guinness World Record." Barkley looked at the contract in disbelief, flipping it over and over, hoping to find a loophole to attack Lin Tian.
Unfortunately, his limited brain capacity and understanding of legal provisions and cooperation details meant that, let alone finding flaws, simply reading the entire contract had exhausted all the words he had learned in his life.
"Is it 700 million for one night, or 700 million for a year?" Miller didn't understand either, but he knew that he should avoid looking at things he didn't understand.
"Can you two stop being so superficial? Can't you be a little more mature?" Lin Tian put away the contract and said, "Let's go, let's find a place to eat. Rob will come over later to help me review the contract. If there are no problems, how about we go to that 'disabled' themed shop that Charles likes the most tonight?"
"Let's go! I also know a really good Italian restaurant!" Upon hearing this, Barkley immediately declared that he was no longer sleepy, and strode forward to lead the way.
About an hour later, at the restaurant Barkley had chosen, Pelinka looked at the contract over and over again, then looked up at Lin Tian with a strange expression.
"What's wrong? Is there a problem with the contract?" Lin Tian felt uneasy when Pelinka looked at him.
"The biggest problem with this contract is that there are absolutely no problems. It's so simple and clean that I feel like you have some secrets about the Hilton Group, such as tax evasion, human trafficking, arms dealing, or terrorist financing."
"Otherwise, why would they give you such a good contract without any negotiation or consultation?"
Pelinka waved the contract, his eyes filled with incomprehension: "If I were to negotiate this, a contract like this, which is flawless, unrestricted, and even extremely permissive of your behavior, would take at least a month to finalize. But now it's directly in your hands."
"Or, to put it more bluntly: the only difference between this contract and giving you $700 million a year is that you still have to sign your name."
Pelinka pointed to the part of the contract where Lin Tian needed to sign, still looking incredulous, and said, "You're not some old man's illegitimate son in the Hilton family, are you?"
Lin Tian ignored the three envious guys, took out a pen, signed his name at the end of the contract, and handed it to Pelinka, saying, "Send it to Hilton's headquarters or somewhere else this thing should go, and then..."
"Tonight, it's my treat. Let's go to Charles's favorite place and have a good celebration."
