Chapter 617 Disputes and Dates

After being reported by many media, Link's photos have been frequently seen in newspapers. After watching newspapers and CCTV5's boxing match program, many people know that there is a boxing champion named Link in China.

The media also mentioned in the report that Link is the champion of the shot put event of the Universiade and the record holder of the domestic men's shot put event.

After reading the news, everyone has a deeper impression of Link.

Especially the female group, because Link has a handsome appearance, a slender and strong figure, and outstanding temperament, many women began to pay attention to his news and gradually became his fans.

"Lao Wang, this is the Link you mentioned. He does look very handsome, but not as exaggerated as you said."

In a courtyard in Dongcheng District, Liu Xuan shouted while looking at Link's photo in the "Huaxia Youth Daily".

There is an exclusive interview with Link in the newspaper, about 5,000 words, which talks about Link's family situation, his mental journey of getting involved in boxing, and the situation of the World Championships.

There are three more photos of Link, one of which is from the competition, highlighting his muscles and strong physique, a close-up of Link holding a gold medal and raising his fist on the stage, and a training photo of Link wearing a sports T-shirt.

The second photo is from the front, where you can clearly see his face, with delicate and energetic short black hair, a high nose bridge, sharp features, and sweat on his face, looking very masculine and handsome.

"That's because you didn't see Link in person. He has a very good temperament, and his every move is elegant and aristocratic. His smile is gentle, and his treatment of people also gives people a very comfortable feeling. In short, when you see him in person, you will feel that he is dozens of times more handsome than in the photo."

Director Wang Xiaoshuai said while flipping through the script.

"The newspaper said that Link is from the countryside and often went hungry when he was a child. How can he have the aristocratic air?"

Liu Xuan didn't believe it and kicked Wang Xiaoshuai who was sitting on the recliner opposite him. "You said you wanted him to make a movie. When will you let him join the group?"

"The script hasn't been revised yet, don't worry."

Originally, Director Wang Xiaoshuai planned to ask Link to play the role of a stowaway who lived in the United States for a period of time in the new movie "Second Brother", but Link was not interested.

He had to create a better role for Link in the next script to stimulate Link's interest and love for movies.

If Link becomes a movie star in the future, everyone will know that he is the talent he discovered.

"If you don't want to ask him to make a movie, you can ask him to come to your house to sit down. Anyway, we are all in Beijing and it is convenient to go back and forth."

Liu Xuan said.

Director Wang Xiaoshuai put down the script, stared at his girlfriend and said, "Why do you care more about Link than me after you saw his photo? You didn't fall in love with him at first sight and want to dump me, did you?"

"Get lost! What nonsense!"

Liu Xuan picked up a magazine and threw it at him. Feeling unsatisfied, she picked up a fly swatter and pretended to hit him.

"Don't hit me, I'm just kidding. I'm much more handsome than Link. How could you bear to leave me?"

Director Wang made a joke, and seeing that Liu Xuan was still angry, "Okay, I'll call Link later and invite him to my house to see if he has time."

"I don't know if he has a girlfriend. He's so handsome and an athlete. What do you think about introducing Yuanyuan to him?"

Liu Xuan said.

"You're really something. You haven't even met him in person, but you're already thinking about arranging a marriage for him. You women are always thinking about it. Okay, I agree."

Director Wang hadn't finished speaking when he saw Liu Xuan holding up a fly swatter, and he tactfully changed his words and agreed.

When Link received a call from Wang Xiaoshuai, he was talking to coach Zhao Liwei in the office of the competition center.

Half an hour ago, an agent who claimed to be from Xingyao Sports Company found him and said he wanted to sign a contract with him. The signing fee was 50,000 yuan, and the competition income was divided according to the ordinary boxer model, with a maximum of 50-50 split.

Link refused on the spot, and the other party didn't bother him.

But soon he received a call from Deputy Director Liu of the Competitive Center, who said a lot of good things about Xingyao Sports and hoped that he would consider it more.

Link said that he could consider it, but the signing bonus given by Xingyao was too little.

Deputy Director Liu asked him how much he wanted.

Link said that during the competition in Bangkok, he had contact with the world's top five boxing promotion companies such as Top Promotion Company and Competitive Room Sports. Several companies wanted to sign him. He offered a price of 5 million US dollars. If Xingyao was sincere, he could consider his proposal.

Deputy Director Liu snorted and asked him to think it over before answering.

Shortly after talking to Deputy Director Liu, Coach Zhao Liwei suddenly found him.

He said that the 30,000 yuan that the Competitive Center was originally going to reward him suddenly became 500 yuan. He called to inquire, and the reply said that the Competitive Center encountered some financial difficulties and temporarily reduced the bonus amount. He hoped that he and Link would understand.

Link talked about the signing of Xingyao Company.

Coach Zhao Liwei had no choice after hearing it.

Lin Ke said that the Handong Provincial Boxing Team had called him, and if the competition center here had financial difficulties and could not provide financial support to him, he would consider transferring to the Handong Boxing Team.

Coach Zhao Liwei's face changed after hearing this, and he asked him not to worry, saying that he would report the situation to the higher-ups and would never let him suffer.

Before the two finished talking, Lin Ke's phone rang. Director Wang Xiaoshuai congratulated him on the phone, asked him what he was doing, and invited him to visit his home when he had time.

Lin Ke agreed and said that he would come to bother him when he had time.

Coach Zhao Liwei continued to talk about other things, such as media interviews and several advertising companies inviting him to shoot commercials.

He is now affiliated with the Sports Center, and the Sports Center will help him handle some media and business matters, and earn a share along the way.

After asking about the cost of advertising endorsements, Link agreed to be interviewed by the media and turned down the endorsements. The reason was that the endorsement fees were too small and the cycle was too long. He would rather earn less now than be taken advantage of.

At the same time, he also felt that the Sports Center was unreliable and that he should find a professional agent or assistant to help handle these matters. However, these matters were more important and there was no suitable candidate among the people he knew.

This needs to be done slowly.

Just as he hung up on Director Wang, the phone rang again. It was a call from South Korea. The caller was Moon Chae-won, a reporter from the school newspaper whom he met at the Universiade.

Moon Chae-won said that she saw the news that he won the World Championships, and said in a cute voice congratulations to Oppa, praising him for being so awesome, and also said that he also has many fans in Korea.

Link smiled softly and didn't take it seriously. The boxing world championship has a very average international influence. Even if the Korean media reports it, it won't be too much, and the same goes for fans.

Link asked Wen Chaiyuan how she was doing at school and invited her to travel to China.

Moon Chae-won said she wanted to be a film actress and was planning to apply for film studies at several universities in Seoul. However, her parents did not agree and wanted her to continue studying Western painting. She is now very troubled.

Link remembered that the other party would do well in the Korean film and television industry in the future, so he encouraged her to pursue her dream and call him if she needed help.

Moon Chae-won happily agreed and called Oppa a few more times.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Link left the sports center and was about to go on a date with Zhang Zilin. On the subway, he received a call from coach Zhao Liwei, saying that his competition bonus had been re-approved. It was 30,000 yuan, a penny less, and he wanted him. Come and claim your prize when you are free.

Link said yes.

While he was on the phone, several girls around him stared at him. Some of them boldly walked directly across from him and looked at him.

When he hung up the phone, several girls asked him if he was Link, the boxing champion Link.

Link said yes.

Several girls excitedly asked for his autograph.

Link smiled and wrote artistic signatures for several fans.

——

Zhang Zilin's home is near Ding'anmen in the North Second Ring Road, but today she is training at the New Silk Road Model Company in Chaoyang District.

When Link came to the downstairs of the New Silk Road Company, he saw Zhang Zilin coming downstairs, wearing a white art T-shirt, a light blue waist skirt, and a ponytail swaying. When he saw him, he had a sweet smile on his face, and he was in good condition.

Along with Zhang Zilin, there were several female models.

Two of them are relatively familiar. One is the supermodel Du Juan who later played the heroine of "Partners in China", and the other is the recently popular actress Yu Na. The other is the winner of the 2000 New Silk Road Model Contest. Last year, she won the hit drama " What can I do to save you, my love" became popular and is currently an artist under New Silk Road.

The remaining models also have good figures and average-to-upper looks, but they are younger and their clothes are more fashionable and beautiful for this era.

When a few people appeared on the street, the eyes of the surrounding pedestrians were attracted. The women were envious and the men were greedy.

"Link, when did you arrive?"

Zhang Zilin asked with a smile.

"Just arrived!"

Link said.

"Wow, Zi Lin, it turns out your boyfriend is Link. You've done a great job keeping it secret."

"Zilin, you look like a perfect match."

"Zilin, you must feel very safe if you find a boxing champion as your boyfriend."

Several women started joking when they saw Link.

"I'm not hiding it, so there's no way it can be kept secret."

Zhang Zilin held Link's arm and stood side by side with him. Zhang Zilin was wearing flat shoes and Link was wearing sneakers. The difference in height was almost invisible.

Link smiled and greeted a few people.

"Zilin, I'm going to the Sanlitun Bar. Do you want to come with me and Link?"

Yu Na glanced at Link and asked with a smile.

"Sister Na, Link has just returned from abroad. We are going to eat first and wander around for a while."

Zhang Zilin said.

"Okay, I won't interrupt your romance."

Yu Na joked, said goodbye to several colleagues, and got into a car parked on the roadside.

Zhang Zilin also said goodbye to several other people, and walked hand in hand with Link on the street, walked from East Street to Tongluogu Lane, and found a well-decorated French restaurant to sit down.

"After the World Championships, will there be any competition this year?"

Zhang Zilin asked.

"There is an Asian Track and Field Championships at the end of September to compete for qualifications for next year's Olympic Games. The Track and Field Project Office asked me to participate and asked me to practice more and strive to get a good result in next year's Olympic Games."

Link looked at the menu and asked Zhang Zilin what he wanted to eat.

Zhang Zilin said he could order whatever he wanted.

Link ordered a few common French set meals, such as steak, foie gras, matsutake soup, and Chinese cold dishes.

The reason why he brought Zhang Zilin here to eat was not to show off, but because this restaurant was quieter and more convenient for dates.

"Do you really know French?"

Zhang Zilin asked in surprise when he heard him talking to the waiter in French.

Link glanced at her, "Last time I spoke French, do you think I was lying to you?"

"No, I just think you are very powerful. You are so good at boxing and you can speak English and French. Compared with you, I feel so ordinary."

Zhang Zilin held his finger and said coquettishly.

"Be confident. How can a girl who can be liked by me be ordinary?"

Link said.

"It seems so. Wait, that's not right. What do you mean by being liked by you is not ordinary? What kind of praise is this? You are praising yourself."

Zhang Zilin pointed at his nose and said dissatisfiedly.

Link raised the corner of his lips and said that the prize money of the championship was not small. He was going to buy a house in Kyoto and asked her if she had any suggestions.

Zhang Zilin asked him if he had enough money?

Link said that he would pay the down payment first. There was also prize money in the Asian Track and Field Championships. There would be several more competitions next year. As long as he participated in a few more competitions, there would be no problem buying a house.

Zhang Zilin said that the environment nearby was good and suggested that he buy a house here.

It's just that the housing prices in Chaoyang District are relatively expensive. Ordinary commercial housing costs 7,000 to 8,000 yuan, and expensive ones cost tens of thousands.

Link asked her to look at houses together when she had time, and use them as their love nest in the future.

Zhang Zilin blushed and agreed.
