Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 914 - 645 I Want to Perform at the Spring Festival Gala_3

"Link, this is mine, please sign it for me."

The speaker was a young woman. Link didn't look at her closely; he took the item and signed his name on it.

"Wait! Why did you write a well-wishing message for Huang Bo, but nothing for me? What's the deal? Are you looking down on your female fans?"

The girl complained.

Link raised his head and glanced at her. Jiang Yiyi—he had seen her before at a sports event. It seemed that both she and Huang Bo were students at Beijing Film Academy.

"No class today?"

He added her name and a wish for her to become more beautiful on the back of the album case.

"Oh, you remember my name? Haha, okay, you're forgiven. Feifei, your turn now. Tell him what you want written—Link is very easygoing."

Jiang Yiyi spoke to the girl in a white dress beside her.

Link lifted his head to look at the girl, silently sighing to himself—it was her again. He reached out his hand and said, "Miss Liu, nice to meet you."

"Link, have you watched the TV dramas I've acted in?"

Liu Yifei, her large eyes sparkling, asked with a cheerful smile. She looked much younger and more innocent than he remembered.

"You're none other than the famous Princess Yuyan—of course he knows you."

Jiang Yiyang interjected from the side.

Link smiled and nodded, taking the album out of her hand. He signed his name along with a string of numbers on it. "Don't forget to text me; we can grab coffee sometime."

"Sure!"

Liu Yifei blushed deeply, clutching the album case as she pushed Jiang Yiyi, eager to leave the crowd in a hurry.

Link continued signing autographs, traveling throughout Capital City, Harbor Island, Chengdu, Guangzhou, and other places. He signed countless names and interacted with many fans, only returning to Capital City for a break in early January.

"You're way too busy. If you're not training for matches, you're holding autograph sessions everywhere. I wish I could help you."

In his apartment, Zhang Zilin clung to his shoulder, acting spoiled.

"Thanks for the thought, but I'll handle the work. You've got tons on your plate as well."

Link wrapped his arm around her soft waist and replied.

"What I deal with is nothing compared to yours. I just want to tag along. Next time you host an autograph session, how about I help as your assistant? I could even assist at your boxing matches."

Zhang Zilin faced him and suggested.

"Alright! Next time, we'll do it together."

"Deal!"

Zhang Zilin contentedly leaned against his shoulder, her tall figure completely nestled in his embrace.

Link held her close, resting his hand in the most comfortable spot, but his thoughts involuntarily drifted to another equally tender girl. After reconnecting with Liu Yifei recently, their correspondence became frequent, just like old times.

Liu Yifei claimed she was a fan of his music, expressing how much she loved his songs. Their conversations also delved into topics about her studies and work.

She wasn't quite eighteen yet—pure, shy, and innocent.

Link often discussed training and music with her, offering comfort, encouragement, and small pieces of advice whenever she vented her troubles.

Through their repeated interactions, the relationship gradually became closer.

But he wasn't sure how best to handle this connection.

He hesitated sometimes when dealing with her.

After some deliberation, he decided to leave everything to time and let things unfold naturally.

His second album sold 5.05 million copies domestically within its debut month, becoming the first album released in 2004 to exceed 5 million units officially.

Outside Huaxia, its cumulative first-month sales reached 220,000 copies.

The song "All of Me" unexpectedly broke into North America's Billboard Hot 100 singles chart this week, currently ranked at #95. Link became the first Huaxia artist to make it into the chart's top 100.

Billboard praised Link's English singing as free of any accent, showcasing remarkable professionalism—it was hard to believe this song was performed by a Huaxia boxer.

The success of the album elevated Link's reputation both domestically and internationally.

The revenue from the first batch of the second album's earnings was successfully credited—24 million yuan. Combined with the year-end earnings from his first album, his domestic accounts saw over 30 million yuan deposited during this period.

He allocated part of the money through the Golden Shell company to Taiwan Island's New World Film and Television Company, while investing the rest in JD.com to support Lao Liu in his projects without worrying about funding.

This year's Lunar New Year was on February 8th. Before the Spring Festival Gala, Link participated in three additional rehearsals and also made time to visit his hometown of Huadong Province's Huaxi Village. He stayed for a week with Zhang Zilin at his family home and attended Huadong Province's Spring Festival Gala rehearsals.

He returned to Capital City before New Year's Eve.

As the year drew to a close, the weather in Capital City was over ten degrees colder than in Huadong Province—water froze instantly upon exposure.

But with competitions lined up for the following year, Link couldn't afford to slack off. His routine included waking up early for training every day, running at the newly built Olympic Park, and boxing practice in heated gyms. From morning till night, he remained tireless.

For relaxation, he either spent time cozying up with Zhang Zilin at home or went out with Gao Yuanyuan, Sun Ge, and Princess to engage in playful antics.

With Gao Yuanyuan's career booming, her time was consumed by filming in various regions, leading to fewer meetups.

Sun Ge lamented about being too old and wanting to settle down and get married—most of their hangouts involved endless conversations, like two close friends with no secrets between them.

Among the three, only Princess consistently claimed "this would be the last time," yet she never missed an opportunity.

Link also handed over ownership of the apartment in Chenxi Building to Lin Zhilin.

When Lin Zhilin was in Capital City, they had gone out a few times. Later, with New World Film and Television Company's establishment, Lin Zhilin returned to Taiwan Island to focus on running the company. She was determined to grow it into a successful enterprise, refusing to be treated as a mere figurehead.

Link provided her extensive support in every possible way.
