In a black metal music bar in Brooklyn, Jay-Z put down the phone and looked at Kanye, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent, and others, saying, "Don't worry, Scooter said it will be sent out soon."

"Alright! We're not in a hurry."

Kanye and the others shrugged and sat back on the sofa, patiently staring at the huge 5x7 meter projection screen on the stage in the middle of the bar.

Sitting next to the screen was their computer expert, Drake. As soon as the video was released, Drake would project Link's private video onto the big screen for everyone to watch.

This was a moment to change the game and an exciting one. They were about to witness their enemy Link's downfall firsthand.

"Where's Beyoncé? This is such an important occasion, why isn't she here?" Kanye asked Rihanna.

Rihanna was playing with her phone, texting Katy Perry to invite her to watch Link's scandal. Hearing Kanye's question, she said without looking up, "She's not feeling well, resting at home."

"What happened to her, where is she not feeling well?"

Kanye and the others asked with concern.

Ring! Jay-Z was smoking a cigar when his phone suddenly rang. It was Scooter calling.

"Scooter, is the video out? What? Not releasing it? Why?! I need an explanation."

Jay-Z got angry, asking with an unpleasant tone.

Scooter on the phone told him there was an unexpected situation, and he still needed the video, so it couldn't be released temporarily. He apologized repeatedly and said he would explain in detail in a couple of days.

Jay-Z was furious. He needed the video, not apologies, but Scooter hung up after a few words, and he couldn't call back to press for answers.

"Jay, what happened?" 50 Cent quickly asked.

Jay-Z, with a dark expression, said, "Scooter said he won't release the video tonight."

"Not releasing? Why?"

"We had everything arranged, why change his mind suddenly?"

"We prepared everything, how do I explain this to the guys?"

Kanye, Usher, and others all started talking at once.

"Shut up! It's Scooter who changed his mind. If you want to know the reason, go ask him."

Jay-Z threw down his cigar heavily and walked away with a look of displeasure.

"Is that it?" 50 Cent looked around. To watch Link's private video, they had not only prepared a giant projection but also ten bottles of Ace of Spades champagne, beer, drinks, and snacks.

Additionally, there were over a hundred brothers in the bar, all staring at the giant projection, ready to watch the show. Now, suddenly, it wasn't being released. How was he supposed to explain this?

"50 Cent, why isn't the video being played?"

"Hurry up, we've been waiting for an hour."

Dozens of black men outside started shouting.

50 Cent was very helpless and told Drake to play an adult movie for everyone to satisfy their cravings.

Rihanna saw a group of people gathered to watch such a movie, glared at Drake, got up, and left, while texting Katy Perry and Beyoncé to inform them of the unexpected situation and that Link's private video wouldn't be available tonight.

In a private apartment in Manhattan, Beyoncé received the message and relaxed on the sofa, feeling a bit disappointed.

She picked up her phone again to text Link, asking him how he did it.

Thinking of a solution, the next morning, Scooter called Ivanka, expressing his willingness to transfer 15% of SB Entertainment's shares to Link Music for 10 million dollars.

Ivanka, in a flat tone, told him it was impossible and asked him to think it through before calling again, then hung up.

Scooter cursed in frustration. This woman was too much. Did she think she could surely win against him? He took a few heavy breaths, and after over ten minutes, he expressed his willingness to spend 10 million dollars to buy the rights to "Baby."

Ivanka told him it was impossible and that her bottom line was getting 50% of SB Projects' shares for 1 dollar and 60% of Justin Bieber's management contract, or they would see each other in court.

"Wait!"

Seeing Ivanka about to hang up again, he quickly shouted, "Miss Ivanka, please wait. There's something I forgot to tell you. I have a video of Link fooling around with another woman. If I release this video, Link's reputation will be ruined. I heard you have a good relationship with Link. You wouldn't want to see his reputation damaged, right? How about we make a deal? I'll trade this video for the rights to 'Baby'."

Ivanka snorted, "Scooter, I've heard you're a very smart businessman. How could you have such a naive idea? Link became a champion with his fists and a top star with his endless talent. He is a powerhouse celebrity and a billionaire. Even if you expose his dirt, so what? As long as he can still fight and write good songs, fans will still pay."

"But if Link's reputation is damaged, his albums will also be affected, right? Isn't that a direct economic loss you care about?"

Scooter quickly persuaded.

"It doesn't matter. If you expose Link's private video, his reputation will be temporarily damaged, losing at most a few million dollars, which is nothing to Link Music. But Justin's new album's main song is suspected of plagiarism, and SB Projects' unfair competition means we will have to compensate for all our losses. Are you sure it's a video of Link fooling around with another woman? If it is, please release it quickly. I'd like to see it too."

Ivanka said flatly.

Scooter's eye twitched, "Miss Ivanka, do you think I don't dare?"

"You probably also heard about my close relationship with Link. But there's a barrier between us, and that barrier is Taylor, who is a very petty woman. If she sees Link fooling around behind her back, she will definitely break up with him. Thus, the obstacle between Link and me would no longer exist. So if you have such a video, please release it quickly. In the future, when discussing SB Projects' compensation to us in court, I will consider reducing the amount by 5 million dollars. What do you think?"

"."

Scooter listened to her words and was stunned for a while. At first, he thought she was bluffing, but then it seemed very reasonable.

He had also heard about the rumors between Link and Ivanka. If they were true, releasing such a video would indeed be doing Ivanka a favor. She really didn't need to care.

Scooter held his forehead, feeling that this woman was too tricky. Continuing the conversation would probably not make her back down.

"Miss Ivanka, I'll offer you 20% more shares of SB Projects."

Scooter said helplessly.

"Yesterday, I gave you a contract. Turn to page 14, clause 22."

Ivanka said flatly.

Scooter didn't understand what she meant. He found the forgotten folder on the coffee table in his messy office.

According to Ivanka's instructions, he turned to page 14, clause 22, and was suddenly stunned. It read that after the transaction, SB Projects must hand over all unfavorable materials regarding Link and must not continue targeting him.

"You knew I had Link's private video from the beginning?"

Scooter felt a chill down his back.

"Yesterday, I gave you a day. There are still three hours before the deadline. If I don't get the answer I want in three hours, Link Music's legal department will officially file a lawsuit against SB Projects, Justin, Ludacris, and others for infringement. It's your choice whether to cooperate or go to war."

Ivanka hung up.

Scooter heard the busy tone in the receiver and weakly leaned back in his chair.

The matter of Link's video had only been shared with a few partners, but Ivanka seemed to have known about its existence for a long time. This indicated there was a mole among his partners, or one of them was leaking information to Ivanka.

This woman was too scary. Not only did she plan a poison pill defense in advance, but she also planted spies around him, controlling his every move.

Facing such a woman was really not good.

Scooter rubbed his temples, racking his brains but couldn't think of a way out. What to do? Should he give Link Music more shares and cooperate with them, or fight them?

Either way, SB Projects would be severely hit.

Ring! His phone rang, and he saw the caller ID: "Little Kunis."

Answering the call, Little Kunis asked why the video hadn't been released yet, saying Link had been hyped as the perfect man.

Scooter sighed and explained Ivanka's "poison pill plan," asking if Little Kunis had any way to persuade Ivanka to drop the lawsuit against SB Projects and Justin.

"'Baby' is plagiarized from Link's song? Is this Ivanka's trap?"

Little Kunis asked in surprise.

"Apparently so."

Scooter said helplessly, "Ryan, I've heard you have a good relationship with the Trump family. Can you persuade her to drop the case?"

"No way! Since Link Music's success, Ivanka has become more independent, and she doesn't even listen to her father. I can't persuade her."

Little Kunis said.

"Then what should we do? If we don't agree, she'll sue. We'll definitely lose and have to pay millions in compensation. Justin's reputation will be destroyed in the lawsuit. I've invested millions in him, and now he's just about to make money. It would be a shame to destroy him now."

"So you mean giving up targeting Link and choosing to

cooperate with him?"

Little Kunis's voice turned cold.

Scooter said, "Ryan, I've thought about it. Link is a creative genius. Any song he writes can make Justin famous. Making Link Music a shareholder of SB Projects and cooperating to cultivate Justin is beneficial for SB Projects' development."

"But this will also increase Link Music's valuation."

Little Kunis gritted his teeth.

"Ryan, I don't want this either, but Ivanka has something on me. Ivanka now only wants to annex SB Projects and doesn't care about the video in my hand. She said..."

Scooter repeated Ivanka's words about releasing the video being equivalent to fulfilling her and Link's relationship.

On the other end, Little Kunis was silent for a long time. "Forget it, don't release the video."

"Don't release it? You spent 100,000 pounds to get it. If we don't expose it, it'll be a waste. My idea is to superficially reconcile with Link Music and then quietly give the video to Jay-Z and Kanye, letting them release it."

"Delete the video. We'll find another way to take over Link Music."

Little Kunis hung up.

In the bright office, Scooter smiled wryly and relaxed a bit.

In this matter, the hardest person to deal with was Little Kunis. Cooperating with Link Music would offend him, but not cooperating wasn't an option.

Ivanka's words provided a good solution.

Little Kunis had feelings for Ivanka and had designs on her and Link Music. Naturally, he wouldn't want to see Link and Ivanka together.

And the best way to prevent them from being together was to keep Link and Taylor together for a long time, leaving no chance for Link and Ivanka.

Little Kunis must have thought of this, which is why he asked to delete the video.

Love really makes people blind.

Scooter shook his head and suddenly thought of the beautiful, hot woman. Ivanka had just mentioned her relationship with Link. Did she already guess his and Little Kunis's collusion and deliberately said those words to pass a message to Little Kunis through him, making him stop?

If that's true, Ivanka is too scary.

In future cooperation with her, he must be careful, or he could be killed by her anytime.

After pondering for a while, he called Ivanka again, expressing his willingness to cooperate.
