The next morning, after Fly got up, he did his usual fitness exercises.
When he returned home, Taylor was doing yoga, bending low.
The perfect curves outlined by her leggings made Fly's fingers itch. He went over and touched her, earning him several eye-rolls from Taylor.
After breakfast, Fly accompanied Taylor back to her parents' house.
Taylor's younger brother, Justin, was still not on vacation and had gone to school early. Fly, on the other hand, was pulled aside by Taylor's father to chat about the stock market for a while.
For financial professionals, stock trading is basically their life, just like normal people eat and drink every day. It won't stop until the moment their life ends.
Although Fly knew nothing about the stock market in his previous life, fortunately, under the influence of his parents in this life, he still knew a little about US stocks.
For someone with his background, he often knew inside information about US stocks.
So, basically, there was no such thing as losing money.
Maybe an occasional small loss, but overall, he definitely made a fortune.
Taylor's father, being a financial professional, naturally knew this very well, so he often got some inside information from his son-in-law to make some money.
Otherwise, having to ask his daughter for money for everything was indeed a bit embarrassing for a father.
Just then, Fly's phone rang. He greeted his father-in-law, walked to the side, and answered the phone.
"Fly, The Oprah Winfrey Show here in the United States has invited you for an interview. How should we respond?" It was his agent Allen's call.
Fly thought for a moment and still refused.
"I came back to the United States mainly to accompany my family. Let's forget about work matters. Politely decline."
Allen didn't try to persuade him too much when he heard this. He responded and hung up the phone.
He knew very well that his special client was different from other celebrities who craved a lot of exposure.
On the contrary, his privileged background made him not so eager to achieve fame and success.
For Fly, life was always more important than work.
He was not the kind of person who would neglect life because of work.
"Hani, what's wrong? Is something up?" Taylor heard Fly say the word "work" on the phone and mistakenly thought he had something important to do.
"Nothing, Allen told me Oprah invited me to participate in her show. I refused. After all, I didn't plan to continue working this time back in the United States. Accompanying you is more important."
After hearing the name "Oprah," Taylor's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "Wow, oh my god, Hani, what are you saying? This is Oprah!"
"How many people want to be on her show and don't get the chance? You, on the other hand, directly refused. What do you want to do?"
Seeing Taylor's excited look, Fly was completely confused.
"Elder sister, is this person named Oprah very famous?"
Hearing her boyfriend's ignorant remark, combined with his confused and bewildered look, Taylor couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
"Hani, although I know you don't pay much attention to the American entertainment industry on weekdays, don't be so ignorant. The Oprah Winfrey Show is the most successful talk show in the world, bar none. It's hard to imagine someone who grew up in the United States not having heard of it..."
Seeing Taylor's expression of caring for a mentally challenged child, Fly was speechless.
To be honest, he really hadn't paid attention.
After all, his girlfriend had no connection with that person named Oprah, and he rarely watched TV on weekdays, so it was normal that he didn't know.
Taylor didn't continue to mock her boyfriend. Instead, she said seriously:
"Hani, quickly call your agent and accept the invitation. Participating in The Oprah Winfrey Show will help increase your exposure. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that you absolutely cannot miss."
Fly nodded. Since his girlfriend said so, he would listen.
After all, in this regard, Taylor's achievements in her previous life were the biggest guarantee. Fly had no reason not to listen.
After calling Allen, he told him that he accepted the invitation and asked him to communicate with the people there to find a time when he was free.
Fly wouldn't adjust his schedule for a talk show. That would make him seem too cheap, like those small celebrities who eagerly seek exposure. That's too low.
Then Fly searched for information about The Oprah Winfrey Show on his phone. After reading the introduction on Wikipedia, Fly finally understood why Taylor was so surprised that he didn't know about this show.
A talk show that started in 1986 and has been running for 24 years, its status in the United States is similar to East Asia's "Happy Camp."
Basically, everyone knows it.
The "Oprah Effect" derived from it has even become a symbol of American popular culture.
The host, Oprah herself, has been named "Forbes' Most Influential Black Woman of the 21st Century" and "One of Time Magazine's Most Influential People."
With these astonishing titles laid out, Fly had to admit that he was indeed ignorant.
Then Fly checked the ratings of this show and was simply shocked.
More than 160 countries around the world broadcast this show, and nearly 50 million loyal viewers watch it on television every week.
"Awesome..." Besides shouting 666, Fly was speechless.
What does it mean to have 50 million viewers watching every week?
Taking the world's most popular sport, football, as an example, the most-watched football match in 2010 was the Spanish National Derby, which had an audience of up to 400 million people and an average audience of 150 million.
Last year, in 2009, the Champions League Final between Barcelona and Manchester United had a global audience of a record-breaking 190 million, which was also the first time in Champions League history that it surpassed the NFL Super Bowl, which used to be the leader in sports broadcasting.
That year's Super Bowl had a global audience of 187 million, 3 million less than the Champions League Final.
But these matches are annual events, not always available.
The Oprah Winfrey Show is always on. Since the show's inception, it has aired more than 4,000 episodes, averaging two to three episodes per week.
A show with such a high frequency of broadcasting can consistently attract tens of millions of viewers. You have to admire it.
"Elder sister, how about we go on this show together? Since we're going to increase exposure, let's just go on together." Fly suggested. He hoped his first time on a show could be with Taylor.
Taylor thought for a moment when she heard this and nodded, "Okay, I'll have Payne contact them. Oprah shouldn't have any objections. After all, us being on her show together will definitely help the show's ratings."
Most people going on Oprah's show wouldn't make so many demands, as they are all eager to get on the show to increase their exposure.
But Fly and Taylor, this celebrity couple, have no shortage of exposure right now, so they naturally have the capital to make some demands.
About twenty minutes later, Allen's call came. He told Fly that Oprah's side had agreed and would arrange the show according to Fly's time.
Then Payne's call to Taylor also confirmed that Oprah agreed to have them as a couple on the show together.
After everything was settled, Fly and Taylor said goodbye to the Swift family. After returning to the young couple's house, they quickly began the great harmonious movement of life...

..........
In the following days, Fly first followed Taylor to Los Angeles for a few days. During this time, he met "Stone Sister" Emma Stone through Taylor's introduction.
Then, while accompanying a few women shopping, they were caught by Los Angeles paparazzi staking out Rodeo Drive.
As expected, the next day, the Los Angeles Times published photos of Fly shopping with Taylor.
Even because Emma Stone was also in the photos, Fly was directly labeled a "playboy."
Local Los Angeles media, fearing that the world would not be in chaos, began to spread rumors about a scandal between Fly and Emma Stone.
Some unscrupulous tabloids even described the relationship between Fly, Taylor, and Emma Stone as a "threesome."
Facing the wave of public opinion, Emma Stone immediately explained on social media.
However, it was clear that the onlookers didn't buy Emma Stone's explanation.
Because in their opinion, a second-generation rich kid with a privileged background like Fly could never be truly devoted.
Especially considering Fly's age, he was in the stage of being wild and free-spirited.
How could he be tied down to Taylor?
In the past, Fly's private life was indeed very clean, and he was very careful about these things, so he never gave the media paparazzi a chance to take photos.
Now that he had finally come to Los Angeles, a paparazzi paradise, these paparazzi would not easily let go of him, a super hot topic recently.
That's why there were rumors about Fly and Emma Stone.
At first, Fly didn't want to pay attention to them because he held the idea that "if you respond to these people, they win."
But later, he found that these doggone media were becoming more and more bottomless, even fabricating false rumors about him and Taylor having a "threesome."
This finally touched Fly's bottom line.
In a fit of rage, Fly called his Dad Li and mother.
He himself couldn't deal with these media right now, so he could only ask his elders for help.
Dad Li and Annie heard their son's request and immediately took action without saying a word.
Originally, Fly was unsure if his Dad Li and mother could solve this matter because the collective that controlled public opinion in the United States were the Jews.
Dad Li and Annie did not have a good relationship with the Jews, and Fly knew this.
So, his seeking help from his parents this time was purely a desperate measure, calling with a try-it-and-see attitude.
If it succeeded, everything would be fine. If it didn't, he could only accept his fate.
