Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 29 I’m not interested in money

When Lin Yuan's plane arrived in New York, it was already past one in the morning.

The first-class experience is indeed much better than the economy class experience. With good rest conditions, a 1.5-kilometer flight and 16-hour flight time, it is not so tiring.

The temperature in New York is much lower than that in Hong Kong Island, and it just snowed.

Before boarding the plane, Lin Yuan was wearing a thin coat, but when he got off the plane, he had to put on a thick down jacket.

Coming out of the airport, Lin Yuan was dragging his heavy suitcase and heading towards the taxi area.

The next second, he saw the burly figure.

Lin Yuan walked forward with a smile: "Uncle, how did you know my flight?"

Vin Diesel gave him a hug and said, "The sister you met in Hong Kong Island told me that she was worried that it would be too late for you to go back."

"Uncle, I'm really sorry to bother you."

Lin Yuan felt very warm with the care from Vin Diesel and Zhang Ziyu.

"Don't be so polite forever. We are family. Let's go. My car is not far away." Vin Diesel tried to grab Lin Yuan's suitcase.

"Damn it! Why is your box so heavy? Why is it so effortless for you to carry it?"

Vin Diesel didn't know that Lin Yuan's strength was far beyond that of an ordinary person. He was even more powerful than a muscular man like him.

"Hong Kong Island is a shopping paradise, so I bought some extra things to bring back."

"What I'm asking is where do you get so much strength? I work out every day and build up all these muscles, but I can't compare to you?" Vin Diesel obviously couldn't accept this fact.

"Because I know Kung Fu!" Lin Yuan didn't know how to explain it, so he could only use this to fool people.

"Can you be my coach? I want to learn this."

"Okay, I'll teach you some other day, starting from the basics."

Lin Yuan really wanted to teach Vin Diesel some practical techniques, after all, he was also on the path of an action actor.

When the two of them got into the Hummer driven by Vin Diesel, Lin Yuan took out a box from his backpack and handed it over.

"Uncle, this is a gift for you."

"A gold Rolex watch? This thing is not cheap, I can't have it." Vin Diesel refused.

"When you paid me to film Jurassic Park 3, wasn't it more expensive than this? Don't worry, I made a lot of money on this trip to Hong Kong Island. Look, I have a Rolex on my wrist."

The watch on Lin Yuan's hand is also a Rolex, but it is not a big gold watch that shows the temperament of a nouveau riche, but a Rolex Daytona, a gift given to him by Zhang Ziyu in Hong Kong Island.

"Can……"

"You don't have to be so polite forever. We are a family." Lin Yuan retorted with what Vin Diesel had just said.

"Okay, this watch smells like a show of wealth, but it suits me perfectly! I've been wanting to buy one for a long time."

At this time, Vin Diesel's career was just starting and he was not very rich.

He would definitely not be willing to spend $70,000 or $80,000 to buy a gold Rolex watch.

But when he took out all his savings of 130 million US dollars to support Lin Yuan in filming "Jurassic Park 3", he did not hesitate for a second.

Although Lin Yuan did not use the money in the end, he solved his financial problems through Mr. Eisen's investment, but he has always been grateful to this uncle in his heart.

Lin Yuan's parents passed away when he was 9 years old. In the past years, Vin Diesel has been taking care of him like a half-father.

When he is able to repay Vin Diesel, he will not hesitate.

"Let's go home."

"Okay, let's go home."

Until now, Lin Yuan and Vin Diesel still live together. They have a three-story wooden building in the 26th district of New York.

Lin Yuan lived on the third floor, while Vin Diesel lived on the second. "By the way, I have a girlfriend. We might have a new family member soon. Do you mind?" Vin Diesel said with a smile.

How could I not mind!
When Lin Yuan heard this, he immediately felt a surge of anger rising to his head.

He will never forget the vicious heart beneath that beautiful face.

In the previous life, it was she who caused her and Vin Diesel to become enemies and never talk to each other again.

Otherwise, with a Hollywood star uncle like Vin Diesel, Lin Yuan would never have died in poverty and loneliness.

Now, she has arrived as expected. This time, Lin Yuan will definitely give her a lesson she will never forget.

So, Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Of course I don't mind. We will get along very happily."

At this time, her true face had not been exposed, and Lin Yuan could not target her directly, but her ugliness could not be hidden.

Soon Lin Yuan will be able to let Vin Diesel see her dirtiest side.

"Then I feel relieved." Vin Diesel didn't realize anything.

……

……

The following day, Vin Diesel accompanied Lin Yuan to visit director Cohen, director Johnston and Paul Walker.

They are all people who have shown kindness and help to Lin Yuan over the past period of time.

Needless to say, Director Cohen helped Lin Yuan start his career regardless of the consequences.

During the filming of "Jurassic Park 3", Director Johnston became more and more appreciative and caring towards Lin Yuan. In the editing work after the filming was completed, he also tried his best to highlight Lin Yuan and tried to help him become famous.

Paul Walker also paid $70 to help Lin Yuan shoot "Jurassic Park 3".

A debt of gratitude cannot be repaid with money, but only with a lifetime of friendship.

The best way is to move around more.

Lin Yuan prepared gifts for them in Hong Kong Island, and Zhang Ziyu helped him choose them.

The gift for Director Cohen was Romanee-Conti wine, a wine that is said to be affordable only to millionaires, but only consumed by billionaires.

A bottle of top-quality Romanee-Conti wine often fetches hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction.

Director Cohen is a wine enthusiast. Although the bottle that Lin Yuan prepared for him was not that expensive, it still cost him nearly $9.

Director Johnston likes fishing, and the gift Lin Yuan prepared for him was a set of fishing gear handmade by a master. The workmanship was extremely luxurious and exquisite, and the price was as high as 3 US dollars per set.

The gift for Paul Walker was: an Hermès Birkin bag...

Paul had no special hobbies besides racing, and Lin Yuan, knowing his future misfortunes, would certainly not encourage his hobbies.

The Hermès bag was given to Paul's wife, and it also served the purpose of expressing his feelings.

The prices of the three gifts vary slightly depending on the closeness of the relationship, but the degree of thoughtfulness can be intuitively felt by the parties involved.

So the three people who received the gifts were very happy and satisfied, and expressed their gratitude with a smile.

After visiting the three people, Vin Diesel, who was accompanying them, said, "Including the gift you bought me, you spent a lot of money this time. You should be more frugal in the future. When you have money, you should think more about the time when you didn't have money."

Lin Yuan laughed. Vin Diesel's view on money was really like that of the older generation in China.

He is a mixed race of black and white, without a trace of Chinese blood. Where does this idea come from?
Perhaps the answer is: it comes from his good brother - Lin Yuan's father who died young.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan felt a little heavy.

So he made a joke: "I'm not interested in money. What's the point of keeping money if you don't spend it?"
