The Wolf of Los Angeles.

Chapter 197 New Income Channel
In the morning, the bedroom was already filled with sunlight and the curtains had turned golden.

Hawke woke up from his sleep and felt as if there were two huge mountains pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.

I instantly understood what was being pressed.

Megan looked up with a satisfied smile: "Good morning, dear."

Hawke kissed her on the forehead: "I haven't had such a comfortable sleep in a long time."

"Is it because I'm missing this pillow?" Megan asked deliberately, "Or is it because Erica is too agile and I can't feel it when I hold her in my arms?"

She put her arms around Hawke's neck: "You can come to me anytime."

Hawke said, "I'm worried about being shot in the back."

Megan moved slightly, and the ball was pressed into a round cake: “What did you do again?”

"Nothing, just helping Brian get elected mayor of Covina." Hawke would not tell the details of what happened, and said vaguely: "It involves the election, and the other side might use guns."

He then asked, "I haven't heard from Gretchen in a while. Did she have any conflict with you?"

Megan shook her head. "No, she went to Fox News. Now she has no conflict of interest with me, and it's hard to see her. But last time I heard Cynthia, the director of Channel 11 mentioned that it seemed like Gretchen was making a big news story. Cynthia got the news from Roger Ailes."

Hawke immediately thought of the female reporter named Harley, thought for a while, but still didn't ask.

This matter was too risky and he didn't want to drag Megan into it.

Megan asked instead, “Why, do you still want to get revenge on Gretchen?”

Hawke shook his head: "I'm not interested in her."

He glanced at the time and said, "It's almost noon. Get up, have lunch and go to work. Young people should work hard."

At noon, after eating the lunch made by Megan, Hawke thought of Frank's dog nose last time, so he took a bath and then went out with Megan.

Megan drove him to Twitter.

Hawke went upstairs and the front desk quickly notified the director of operations' office.

On the fourth floor, Caroline stood in front of the dressing mirror, carefully checked her outfit for the day, opened the door and walked towards the elevator.

Hawke turned out of the elevator and saw Caroline at a glance.

Miss Mee had honey-gold bangs again, and wore a pink Chanel, a Cadia watch, and a pair of red high heels.

When she walked, it was as if a little sheep's hooves were stepping on the stone road in the mountains, making a clattering sound.

Caroline's face was full of smiles: "Boss, you're back."

Hawke nodded slightly, looked her up and down, and couldn't help frowning: "The business elite look was good last time, why did you change it back?"

Miss Mea would not accept this because she remembered clearly that Hawke said last time that he liked ewes rather than black goats.

Am I wrong again?

Caroline was a little dazed for a moment.

Hawke finished his routine training and headed towards his office.

Miss Mee bared her two little fangs, ground her lower teeth, and followed.

Hawke entered the office, waited for Caroline to come in, and asked, "Miss Baa, is there something important?"

Caroline said: "The two executives poached by Korn Ferry have already joined the company. They have improved the video sharing structure. In addition, we have reached an agreement with Yahoo to allow the two websites to attract traffic to each other."

Hawke nodded and asked, "What about the Spanish-speaking market?"

"I sent a marketing team to Mexico to discuss cooperation with their telecommunications department." Caroline elaborated: "Currently, the Spanish-speaking market is progressing smoothly..."

Hawke listened to Caroline's talk and asked, "Funding?"

Caroline's face became particularly serious. "Except for the $500 million revenue from Will Smith, the company has no other revenue for the time being. A series of promotional operations are burning money very quickly, and the current funds can't support it for too long."

"I'll find a way to get the funds." Hawke knew very well that financing was a path that must be taken in the future.

Social media cannot become truly big without financing and listing.

But before that, Hawke will try to increase Twitter's valuation as much as possible to maximize his profits.

This will inevitably cost money.

After sending Caroline away, Hawke called Campos and made an appointment to meet him.

Edward also came at this time.

Hawke simply asked him to go to the safe house together.

Half an hour later, the two sides met at a safe house in Santa Monica.

Hawke asked, "Has the mess from Bryan's campaign been cleaned up?"

"Everything has been handled." Campos participated in a series of matters such as filming and tracking: "The news I filmed was also fully paid."

Hawke said, "Okay, withdraw the people from Covina. Brian can handle the follow-up matters himself."

There are still some tails over there, such as the Pratt bullying case, Irving's coercion and interference in judicial justice, etc., which will not have any results in the short term.

Pratt will most likely be sentenced to real prison time, and Owen won't fare much better.

Hawke then asked, "Are your people still following Harley?"

Campos elaborated: "Carlos and Garcia have been following her. The acting training class that Halle is attending has already started. She goes to the Superstar School every day, one class in the morning and one in the afternoon from Monday to Saturday."

He did a lot of work on his side. "In order to understand Harley's situation, I sent a female subordinate to attend the training class. She had contact with Harley, but Harley is an investigative reporter. I was afraid that she would find out, so I didn't dare to let her have deep contact with Harley. So far, no abnormalities have been found."

"Go ahead and don't let anyone notice." Hawke warned, "If Harley is in danger, help her if you can, but only if our people are safe."

Campos complied.

Hawke thought for a moment and said, "Next, we will look for new high-income channels."

These days, in addition to planning Brian's business, he spends his free time reading the news, with the focus still on the entertainment and sports circles.

There is no other reason. Cultural and sports stars pose little actual threat. They are famous, have assets, and spend money freely.

The best target.

Campos also thought of the entertainment industry and said: "Leonardo and Gisele Bundchen have no signs of breaking off their engagement for the time being."

Hawke picked up a copy of Sports Illustrated that he had read a few days ago, pointed at two people, one in black and one in white, and said, "Last month, Tiger Woods proposed to Swedish model Elin Nordegren, and they went from being boyfriend and girlfriend to being engaged. It is said that they will hold their wedding at the end of this year or next year. Look at this tiger."

Campos immediately understood that this was a report about Tiger Woods.

It was still the Sports Illustrated. Hawke flipped a few pages back and saw news about Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant.

It was reported above that Kobe Bryant was recuperating from an injury at a hot spring hotel in Eagle County, Colorado, preparing for knee surgery.

Hawke said: "Send someone over there to keep an eye on Kobe, with a focus on relationships between men and women."

Campos also took note.

Hawke continued to flip through Sports Illustrated, and there was football news at the back. Manchester United football superstar David Beckham had a broken relationship with Manchester United coach Ferguson after the boot-flying-in-the-locker-room incident, and it has been rumored that he will join Real Madrid.

Although the European football transfer window has not yet opened, rumors about Beckham and Real Madrid are everywhere.

Hawke also saw Tom Cruise last night and thought of Beckham, saying: "If David Beckham joins Real Madrid, send a few people to Madrid to keep an eye on Beckham, and the focus will still be on relationships between men and women."

He made up an excuse: "Yesterday I met Beckham's good friend Tom Cruise, and he said that the relationship between Beckham and his female assistant is not simple."

After Campos finished writing it down, he asked, "Boss, is there anything else?"

"That's all for now." Hawke handed the Sports Picture to Campos and said, "Just like before, get the news video and send it to Twitter."

Campos put away Sports Illustrated and his notebook and left the safe house first.

Edward then interrupted, "Boss, Hua Hudie got the video, should we expose it?"

"Not necessarily. It depends on the specific situation." Compared to the helplessness he felt when he was selling the video, Hawke now has more confidence: "If the person involved is willing to pay, we can accept their PR."

On the contrary, citizens’ right to know is sacred and inviolable.

Hawke and Edward soon left the safe house.

Brian called Hawke again at this time.

Hawke had Edward drive to St. Mary's Psychiatric Center.

The three met at the front entrance of the physical therapy center, and Hawke got into Brian's business car.

Brian said, "The man will be out soon."

Hawke said: "Leave North America, this matter is over."

Bella Thain, who once tried to frame him in the office, provided information about Grant's team.

Hawke agreed to sign the letter of understanding, but she had to leave North America.

Not long after, a small door on the side of the main entrance of the physical therapy center opened, and Bella Sean, wearing normal clothes, walked out.

Two of Brian's subordinates came forward and spoke briefly to her.

Bella Senn followed and got in the car, which headed straight for Los Angeles International Airport.

Brian deliberately asked Hawke: "Why don't you go down to meet him and say goodbye?"

Hawke shook his head: "If you hadn't called me, I wouldn't have come here."

He called Edward and said, "Gone."

The two vehicles left the physical therapy center and returned to downtown Los Angeles.

The car carrying Bella arrived at the international airport. One of the female subordinates took Bella's boarding pass and took her to the boarding gate.

Bella didn't make any noise and remained very quiet.

She had seen the car accident involving Haley's team on the TV news before.

Because Bella knew very well that staying in North America would lead to death.

She obediently boarded the plane, planning to start her new life in Brisbane.
