American Peanuts

Chapter 12 The Dust Settles
The next morning, in a Dodge pickup parked on Ninth Street in Nashville, Taylor, sitting in the back seat, was singing a cappella song to Charlie.

"Every little piece love, don't you know (Love bit by bit, don't you know?)"

"You're really gonna be someone, ask anyone (You're the one who's meant to be, ask anyone)"

“When you find everything you looked for, I hope your life leads you back to my door.”

This is a passionate song about confession. Charlie closed his eyes and was completely immersed in Taylor's beautiful singing voice. He seemed to be enjoying it very much.

"By the way, boss, between you and Teacher Faith..."

After singing the song, Taylor asked hesitantly.

Her name for Charlie has changed. She saw the overwhelming news this morning, and it was said that Charlie and Faith Hill were having sex with each other in the underground parking lot.

Charlie opened his eyes and looked at the clear sky outside the window: "Actually, nothing happened between me and your teacher Faith. The news is all fake."

This was Faith's request. She asked Charlie not to acknowledge the relationship between the two, and so did she.

The reason is not to let Taylor relax.

In a sense, Faith is indeed a good teacher.

"What about beating reporters?" Taylor asked.

"They followed Faith and me and rudely recorded my privacy. In addition, I drank some wine and got into a physical fight with them. This was all a misunderstanding."

"I didn't realize that the boss could beat two strong men so badly." Taylor looked incredulous.

"I actually work out regularly, yes."

Charlie said casually, otherwise he would not be able to explain his abnormal body.

He didn't use all his strength yesterday, but now he can hit ten.

"By the way, you can sign up for Twitter when you have time. This is a mandatory requirement of the company. You must post some new news every day, share your life, share music, or just post a picture, whatever, but you have to post it."

"I know that website, it's like a micro blog, okay, I will do it." Taylor leaned on his seat and took out his mobile phone.

After a while, she put down her phone in fear.

"What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost?" Charlie noticed something strange about Taylor in the rearview mirror.

Didn't you see your own photo?

Seeing her nervous look, Charlie asked, "Taylor, have you ever had a boyfriend?"

Taylor shook his head.

"I just went out to have a meal and didn't have any contact. This shouldn't be considered a boyfriend, right?"

"How many people are you going out to eat with?"

Taylor counted on his fingers and finally gave up.

"About a dozen."

"You will be a singer from now on. This is called a public figure. You must pay attention to your reputation. You can't go out alone with any man in the future, let alone fall in love." Charlie warned.

It's understandable that you can't fall in love, after all, it will have business implications.

But not being able to go out alone with a man is a bit too strict.

"What about you, boss?" Taylor asked after thinking for a while.

"Of course I can." Charlie responded without hesitation.

"Why can you?"

"Because I will generate a lot of news, and you are just one of them. Your fans will definitely not believe it, but it won't necessarily be true if the target is someone else."

"Is this the news about you and Faith?" Taylor seemed to feel that her boss had a unique idea, which was different from the entrepreneurs she had heard about and expected.

He seemed... quite enjoying it.

"This is a kind of marketing." Charlie somewhat convinced himself.

Nowadays, news about me is everywhere on the Internet. I never expected that I would be the first to become popular on the Internet in this way.

This morning, several pharmaceutical companies contacted themselves through different channels and asked themselves to endorse certain types of drugs, including the most famous one.

From now on, I will definitely be the target of the paparazzi, and they will go crazy and offer a high price for my whereabouts.

You are powerless to change this reality, so you might as well accept it, and you can even take the initiative to use this attention to maintain your exposure.

"Why marketing?" Taylor didn't understand.

"Of course it's to make more money. Just like now, if I attend your press conference, the reporters will show up in droves, and you can get more exposure."

"So that's what it is. It's such a unique way." Taylor suddenly realized.

The new boss is not only smart, look at the meaning of these words, he is also really tilting resources towards himself.

This is simply unimaginable for Taylor, who is still unknown and unknown.

"Boss." Taylor called in a low voice.

"what happened?"

"What else do you want to hear? I'll sing for you." Taylor loved his new boss more and more.

At this moment, the car door suddenly opened.Faith, who was wrapped up tightly, sat in the car.

"The equity transfer contract has been signed, and those people are eager to quit." She slapped the signed contract on the armrest box.

"Yes, you tie a group of people onto the warship, who knows if the destination is the Graveline Strait?" Faith fastened her seat belt.

The Battle of Gravelines marked the defeat of the Spanish Armada, and the supremacy at sea changed hands.

Naturally, she didn't know Taylor's potential and was unsure about the new record company.

"Of course, and we are still British. Listen to this girl's voice, it's like the reincarnation of a muse. The future will be on our side."

Charlie started the car and drove towards the airport.

The two of them had packed their luggage and headed directly to the airport.

In addition to holding a grand press conference for the company's music label, it also heralds the formal takeover of the company.

A few days have passed since the acquisition, but Charlie has not received any report from William in the past two days.The situation is not optimistic.

Outside the crowded Nashville Airport hall, Saul and his assistant met Charlie at the agreed location.

"Don't you want Faith's autograph? I brought him here for you." Charlie pointed behind him.
