Chapter 425 Daily Life with Pregnant Girlfriends
Link did what he said.
From that day forward for the next three days, he never made a scene in the office again, and the work he was doing was completed quickly because of his success in quitting masturbation.
Four days after the Golden Globe Awards, the shortlist for the 69th Academy Awards was announced.
This year's Oscars have 24 awards, each with 3-5 nominated films. This year, a total of 45 films are eligible for nominations.
Among them, "The English Patient" leads all films with 12 nominations, becoming the film with the most nominations at this year's Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay, etc.

Link's "Batman Forever" received five nominations, including Best Supporting Actor twice, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, and Best Sound Editing.
After the Oscar shortlist was announced, the media began to discuss the winners of various film awards. For the Best Picture and Best Director awards, "The English Patient" became the most popular option, and Link's chances of winning the Best Director award are also increasing.
Guess what, the public relations department has also begun to strive for various awards, not only to win awards, but also to increase the exposure of the film and strive to earn more box office in the film market.
"Honey, are you sure you can win the Best Director Award this time?"
On the lawn of Seattle Morningside Villa, Monica leaned in his arms with a magazine in her hand. She was wearing loose maternity clothes, her belly was slightly bulging, and her cheeks were rounder than last year, but she was still beautiful and sexy, with a plump figure and a soft feel when he held her.
The sun shone on her, making her look particularly lazy and charming, like a cat-like woman.
"I'm not sure. The judges of the Academy are all my peers, and I don't have a good reputation among my peers. I don't think they will take the initiative to vote for me."
Link gently stroked her long hair, and even the fragrance of her hair became charming.
"How about you threaten them that if they don't vote, I will make 50 movies next year, and every one of them will be a big hit, making all their movies lose money."
Monica waved her fist and made a fierce expression.
"Well, that's a good idea. We'll let you act in all fifty movies. You'll act with a bulging belly. This promotional point is very attractive. The movie will definitely be a global hit after it's released."
"Huh! You think I can't? I'm so pretty and my acting is so good. If I hadn't been unable to film because of my pregnancy, I could have been like Michelle and Sandra and carried a commercial blockbuster worth hundreds of millions of dollars."
"Yes, you are the best. If you weren't a little lazy, you would have become a world star long ago."
"You're lazy! I'm just not active at work. I'm diligent in other things."
Monica punched his shoulder in dissatisfaction.
Link laughed and bent down to kiss her rosy lips. Monica also wrapped her arms around his neck and leaned close to him intimately, with infinite tenderness.
"Hey, could you guys pay more attention?"
Daena accompanied Liu Xiaoli, Michelle Pfeiffer, Julianne Moore, and Sandra Bullock, four pregnant women, as they walked on the soft green grass.
They had just gotten up, with their long hair loose, some black, some blond, and some reddish-brown. They wore loose long skirts, with their belts rolled up in the breeze, revealing their white calves.
They are tall, beautiful, and have peaceful and gentle smiles on their faces.
The bright sunshine cast a golden halo over them, making them look like the characters in the oil painting on the dome of a Florence cathedral, and they were fairies walking out of the painting.
"Link, you're bullying Monica in broad daylight. Be careful that the baby kicks you in the belly."
Michelle Pfeiffer laughed.
"Yes, Link is so mean. He just bullies us all day long."
Monica sat up and shook hands with Diana and the others.
Link kissed Liu Xiaoli and the others. Because he was heavier, after they became pregnant, Link seldom slept in bed with them to avoid pressing on their stomachs.
After coming here, he slept on the floor at night while the women slept on beds. Last night, he slept on the floor in Monica's bedroom and slept very simply.
After sitting down, Link chatted with a few women.
"Link, I heard that Sofia and Nicole Kidman had a fight at home a few days ago. Have you dealt with this matter?"
Michelle Pfeiffer laughed.
"There was no fight, just a few arguments."
A few days ago, Sofia and Nicole Kidman had an argument over the order of sleeping at night, and attacked each other as a bitch.
Sophia has a temper like a spoiled little princess and cannot stand being wronged. After being scolded, she punched people. However, she was shorter than Nicole, so she couldn't hit anyone and was almost knocked over by Nicole. Sophia ran to the kitchen angrily to find a weapon, ready to fight.
At this time, Brooke Shields and Cindy Crawford appeared, separated the two people from the side, and stopped the outbreak of war.
Afterwards, Sofia complained that Nicole Kidman was messing around at home, making the atmosphere in the villa terrible, and asked him if he would do anything about it?
Nicole Kidman countered that the last time she and Cindy Crawford, Jennifer Lopez and others had a party, Sofia was busy with work and did not invite her. Sofia got angry and later often made trouble for no reason, which made her helpless.
I just heard from Brooke Shields and Renee Zellweger that the two had conflicts a long time ago, and when it was holidays or family members' birthdays, when everyone gave each other gifts, the two never prepared gifts for each other, and their relationship was very strained.
In addition, the two of them never rested together in the bedroom in the main building.
In response to the two people's problems, at the instigation of Renee, he called them to sleep in the master bedroom, so that they could be comrades-in-arms and help each other.
Afterwards, their relationship improved a little, but there was still a gap between them, and they were not as close as other girlfriends.
He plans to do it a few more times, hoping that the situation will gradually turn around.
"Do you know why they are like this?"
Liu Xiaoli asked with a smile while stroking her belly.
"Because you're not here. If you were at home, none of this would have happened."
"Haha, you are wrong. It is because you spoil them too much and treat them like babies. You are reluctant to criticize any of them, so they become so unscrupulous. If you are a little harsher to them and use coercive means to demand them, they will definitely obey you obediently."
Liu Xiaoli smiled.
Monica and Michelle nodded in agreement, and advised him to be more strict at home, managing his family like he managed a company, implementing an attendance system and performance rewards, etc.
Treat your girlfriend as a company employee?
Link shook his head. This was difficult, he had a girlfriend to satisfy his physical and psychological needs and to provide emotional value, not to find a group of subordinates to discipline and give himself something to do.
Besides, he considered himself to be very cruel to them all.
I push the difficulty to the highest setting every time I play the game.
They get injured every now and then, and sometimes need to rest for more than a month at a time.
If it was more violent, someone might die.
"Or else, you can be more aggressive, hitting when necessary and scolding when necessary, like in the TV series, and be a tyrant, don't you know how to do that?"
Monica poked his chest, feeling a little disappointed with him.
Michelle Pfeiffer chuckled and said, "It's no use saying that. Link is too busy at work and doesn't have the time or energy to deal with household chores. Besides, he has that kind of personality. Even if you ask him to be more aggressive, he can't do it."
Link shrugged his shoulders. "It's true that I'm busy and don't have time to take care of the household affairs. I originally wanted to ask Judy, Renee, and Sophia to take care of the household affairs, but Judy is preparing for a new movie, Renee is also filming a new movie, and Sophia and Nicole are having conflicts, so it's not convenient for the three of them to take care of it.
I don’t have a good solution, do you have any good suggestions?”
Liu Xiaoli touched her belly and smiled, "Why don't we let the fairies take the lead, and let Sophia and Nicole Kidman be responsible for the specific matters. Let them be the housekeepers and the fairies be the arbitrators, there will be fewer things to do at home."
The fairy Liu Xiaoli was talking about was Jennifer Connelly. She was beautiful and had a calm personality. Apart from acting, she didn’t care much about other things. She was like a fairy who didn’t care about the worldly affairs.
"That's a good idea. Nicole Kidman is obviously someone who likes to be in charge. If Sophia doesn't want to be managed by Nicole, she must take this job. Let these two strong people check and balance each other, and Jennifer will coordinate. If you work harder, there won't be any trouble at home."
Monica laughed.
Link thought about it and felt it was a good idea.
He decided to leave this matter to Liu Xiaoli and Monica, letting them take care of household affairs, which is also in line with the rule that men are responsible for the outside affairs and women are responsible for the inside affairs.
Liu Xiaoli and Monica did not refuse.
When he and Liu Xiaoli were discussing household matters, Dai Enna listened quietly beside them and commented afterwards that it was "really interesting".
Link asked her if she wanted to live in Los Angeles and help with the family affairs.
Daina knew that it was a place of trouble, so she naturally would not agree.
In addition, she has been busy with the Diana Charity Foundation recently. On the one hand, the foundation is expanding and needs to recruit staff. On the other hand, she also needs to contact other international charitable organizations to expand the influence of the charity foundation.
She didn't have time for anything else.
"I will go there after Monica Lina and the others give birth to their children. With them around, I won't have to worry about being bullied."
Diana said with a smile.
"Bullying you? Sophia, Jennifer and the others are all your fans."
Link did not force her. Daina was a simple and kind woman. Although she had lived in the palace for more than ten years, her personality had not changed much, and she had not learned Zhen Huan's methods. If she went to Los Angeles, she would get into trouble.
