Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 461: Love Saint Cultivation Plan
The camera switches to the back garden of Meng Tao and Nicole's cottage.

At this time, Meng Tao was standing in front of a red and white truck.

He had just loaded his share of furniture and daily necessities onto the truck.

Looking at the house in front of me and the plants and trees in the garden, I feel a mixture of emotions.

This was once the home he built brick by brick with his own hands, but now every time he looks at it, he feels heartbroken.

"Meng Tao, who owns this big truck?" Nicole asked as she walked over.

As soon as she said that, she realized that this was a moving car and she had filed for divorce a few days ago.

Nicole also felt some guilt and regret, but things had come to this point and she couldn't turn back.

"I'm sorry, I know I hurt you. I might have cheated on you because of my midlife crisis," Nicole said.

"Time doesn't jump around, but passes day by day. I don't understand why you didn't tell me the problem earlier? But suddenly one day, you jumped directly to the midlife crisis." Meng Tao shook his head and said.

His eyes were red, which clearly showed his true feelings.

"Speaking of crisis, it was you and that David playing Santa Claus that made me truly feel the crisis. How can I celebrate Christmas in the future?" Meng Tao turned around and prepared to leave.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do this." Nicole said guiltily.

"And this car, red and white. Guess what I was thinking when I was driving this car? Am I driving for Santa Claus?" Meng Tao had already gotten in the car, started the car and left.

Only Nicole was left standing there.

……

……

In the evening, Meng Tao came to the bar again.

He is not alone tonight, he is also with Scarlett Johansson's father, Sr. Johnson.

Johnson picked up a bottle of beer, drank it in one gulp, and said, "I know you want to talk to me and share the pain of your wife's infidelity. But I'm sorry, I can't get too close to you. Because my wife and your ex-wife are best friends, she stands on your ex-wife's side, forcing me to draw a clear line between us."

"So what are you going to do?" Meng Tao asked.

"I'm sorry, this is a small gift for you to express my apology." After saying that, old Johnson picked up a small bag and put it on the table.

After saying that, he turned and left.

Meng Tao simply couldn't believe that the childhood friend he grew up with was actually going to cut off ties with him just because of his wife's coercion?
Go to TM friends!
After getting a wife, not only did he forget his mother, he also didn’t want his brothers!

Meng Tao opened the small bag left by old Johnson and found some enhanced sex toys inside, which were obviously to encourage him to have more fun hunting for beauties.

But the question is, are these the props he lacks?
What he lacks is the charm to deal with these women!

So Meng Tao became even more depressed, and he continued to pour wine into his mouth.

He drank many cups in a row but he didn't get drunk.

Because what Meng Tao drank was not liquor, but alcoholic fruit juice.

Until this moment, he was still like a good boy and did not indulge himself in alcohol.

But alcoholic beverages still contain alcohol.

Under the influence of alcohol, Meng Tao began to nag:
"I clearly didn't do anything wrong, so why did my wife divorce me for cheating on me, and why did my brother also cut off all ties with me?"

"I've been cheated on! I've been cheated on! I'm so sad!"

Meng Tao kept on talking.

At this time, Lin Yuan, who was flirting with a beautiful woman nearby, couldn't stand it anymore. Meng Tao's behavior had become a disturbance to him.

So he smiled and beckoned Meng Tao to come over.

That dude from last night?

Meng Tao thought of the man he had called a sissy. The way he was surrounded by women last night was really enviable.

Meng Tao came to Lin Yuan's seat with his alcoholic juice.

"You poor thing, let me treat you to a drink." Lin Yuan said.

Meng Tao shook his head and took a sip from the cup in his hand with a straw: "Thank you, but I have wine."

"Hehe~" Lin Yuan laughed disdainfully.

"You call this juice mixed with water wine?" Lin Yuan said.

Before Meng Tao could answer, Lin Yuan started talking like a machine gun:
"Look at your big coat and your tacky hairstyle. Do you think that by getting married you can lock your wife in? Do you think that by getting married she will belong to you forever?"

"Who gave you the courage to be so unscrupulously sloppy?"

"You come to the bar every night and complain like a pathetic wretch about being cuckolded. It's endless. Are you just repeating yourself?"

"You should have been living a carefree life, but now you can only complain in the bar, shouting: Look, I'm so pitiful, who can sleep with me?"

"You've ruined the mood of the entire bar. We're here to have fun, not to listen to the complaints of losers."

"The boss didn't have the security guard throw you out, probably because you drank more than a dozen glasses of high-profit juice in one night?"

"Do you want to regain your confidence as a man and make your wife regret it?"

At this point, Meng Tao's eyes lit up, and the desire in his heart was beyond words.

"Don't be so humble anymore. Picking up women is a skill. You need to make up for this crucial lesson."

"Come meet me in Times Square tomorrow afternoon, or don't embarrass yourself in this bar anymore."

After saying that, Lin Yuan stood up from his chair, hugged the three beauties he had just hooked up with, and walked out the door together.

Seeing this scene, Meng Tao's envy was about to explode.

He also wanted to be like Lin Yuan, able to get any beautiful woman he wanted.

If I were really that charming, could I win back my ex-wife?
What to say!

She is so charming, who would want to be with her?

Meng Tao shook his head vigorously to clear the idea from his mind.

……

……

The next day, Times Square, New York.

In a high-end restaurant, Megan Fox's carrot-like boyfriend is treating her and a group of friends to dinner.

"Meghan has signed up for the judicial examination. When she passes the exam and gets her lawyer's license, we will come here to celebrate. Then, I will give her a special night that she will never forget." said Carrot's boyfriend.

Megan cheered up when she heard "special night".

"A special night? Is he going to propose to me?" Megan asked her best friend in a low voice.

My best friend rolled her eyes and said, "Don't be silly. If he wanted to propose, he would have done it long ago. He has to wait until you pass the bar exam before proposing? What kind of thing is that?"

"That's a surprise," Megan said.

The best friend shook her head and sighed, "Do you really want to live with a man like this? Wasn't that handsome guy last time good? Look, there he is!"

Megan looked in the direction her bestie pointed.

At this time, Lin Yuan and Meng Tao were standing on the street of Times Square.

Lin Yuan was wearing a carefully tailored black suit. He had an upright posture, broad shoulders and long arms. The suit was tailored to perfection, outlining his well-defined figure.

More than just a suit of liking, the color of his carefully chosen tie complements his pocket square, exuding a casual elegance.

This time, Lin Yuan plays a playboy who is handsome and cool.

Adding a touch of ruffian and unruly to his refined and elegant handsomeness, the chemical reaction is completely completed, making him a man with great lethality to women.

After seeing this side of Lin Yuan, Meng Tao had to admit that he was indeed quite charming. He wished he could be like that.

He looked at his clothes again: a red and green plaid shirt, baggy, wide-legged casual pants, and a pair of dirty sneakers.

"Your outfit is really a typical green-haired turtle outfit." Lin Yuan said sarcastically.

"What green-haired turtle? I've been dressing like this for the past forty years." Meng Tao said angrily.

"Do you have an ex-girlfriend?" Lin Yuan asked.

"I only have one ex-wife, and she was my first love," Meng Tao replied.

"As I guessed, there are women who like you, even though you are like this? I guess your ex-wife has never praised you for being handsome." Lin Yuan said.

“…” Meng Tao remained silent.

Because Lin Yuan was right.

"Let's go, I'll take you to change yourself. The first step is to start with your appearance." After saying that, Lin Yuan stretched out his hand with his palm open.

Meng Tao asked in confusion.

"You have some money to spend, so take out your credit card." Lin Yuan said.

Hearing this, Meng Tao almost worried that he had met a scammer.

But think about Lin Yuan’s glorious record and the change he longs for.

So he reluctantly took out his credit card and handed it to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan brought Meng Tao to a large styling club and said, "Hair style, clothing, makeup, everything can be done here in one stop. Let's go."

The two walked into the club together.

"Welcome!" Ten beauties in tight skirts smiled and bowed to the two men.

Meng Tao had never seen such a scene before. He asked with some trepidation, "Isn't it too enthusiastic?"

Lin Yuan smiled and shook his head: "They want to take money out of your pocket, no matter how enthusiastic they are, it's not too much."

At this time, a tall, blonde manager came forward and asked with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Lin, is this Mr. Meng, the man you want to change your image today?"

Lin Yuan replied, "Yes."

"Then please help Mr. Meng get a new hairstyle first." At the invitation of the beautiful manager, a beautiful waitress came forward and took Meng Tao to get a hairstyle.

After Meng Tao walked away, Lin Yuan asked quietly, "Will you date this man?"

The beautiful manager shook her head. "No, looking at his face, I can't bear to kiss him at all. Not even for the money. It's simply unbearable."

Lin Yuan smiled and placed his hands on her hips: "What about me?"

The beautiful manager gently pushed Lin Yuan's hand away: "There are too many people here, come to my house tonight!"

"You women are so superficial. You can't close your legs when you see a handsome guy." Lin Yuan said with a smile.

The beautiful manager shook her head and said, "Of course it would be the case for someone as handsome as Mr. Lin."

The camera switches to Meng Tao.

He looked brand new from head to toe, from his hairstyle to his clothes to his shoes. When Meng Tao appeared in his new look, the beautiful manager couldn't help but whisper, "He's quite handsome. If that's the case, maybe we can consider dating."

After hearing what the beautiful manager said, Lin Yuan knew that the transformation of Meng Tao was quite successful.

So he pulled Meng Tao to the mirror and said, "Look at yourself in the mirror. How do you feel?"

"It seems to be much better." Meng Tao had to admit that clothes make the man.

After all this trouble, he is indeed much more handsome than before.

Looking at Meng Tao, Lin Yuan said, "You have to know that you are not only a husband and a father, you are also a man and a lover! If you could give your ex-wife the pleasure she wants, would she have cheated on her husband with David?"

"That way, not only will you not be cuckolded, but the husbands of your neighbors will be worried that you are having affairs with their wives," said Lin Yuan.

This really woke Meng Tao up, and he finally understood.

It turns out that the best way to overcome fear is to face it, or even become the fear itself.

"Let's go. The hardware has been polished, and now it's time to update the software." Lin Yuan said.

"Huh?" Meng Tao was puzzled.

"I mean, it's time to test it in actual combat." Lin Yuan replied.

……

……

At night, the two came to the bar again.

"Follow me and I'll demonstrate it to you first." Lin Yuan said.

After saying that, Meng Tao followed Lin Yuan and watched with his own eyes how he chatted up strange women and made them so happy that their eyes were full of peach blossoms and they looked like they couldn't wait to pounce on him.

At this time, Lin Yuan easily became acquainted with a beautiful woman again, but he did not tease her further. Instead, he smiled and said, "Sorry, I have to leave for a while. My friend will chat with you first. If he does anything inappropriate, then you tell me."

After saying that, Lin Yuan turned and left, leaving the opportunity for actual combat to Meng Tao.

Suddenly pushed in front of a strange beauty, Meng Tao immediately became visibly nervous.

The beauty raised her glass and asked with a smile, "Are you clumsy?"

This is actually a very good introduction. If a beautiful woman is willing to ask you this, she must have a good impression of you, otherwise she would not use such an ambiguous way to start the conversation.

Europe and the United States are completely different from China.

Women in East Asia like to act reserved and act as if taking the initiative is cheap.

But European and American women are completely different. They will take the initiative to flirt with men they are interested in.

But they will not take the bait easily. Women's nature determines that they like to push and pull.

In this tug-of-war, they can gain great emotional value.

Therefore, when facing a woman's flirting, never answer directly and foolishly. Instead, learn to control the progress of the conversation by using reversals, rhetorical questions, etc., so as to arouse their interest.

At this moment, Meng Tao didn't know how to answer.

Answer: "Those who are clumsy are inexperienced young men. I wouldn't be so ungracious. But I have learned professional massage and my skills are quite good. Would you like to try it?"

Or answer: "I wouldn't do this to other women, but with you, I can't help myself."

This is all possible.

Don't be shy, because the topic was brought up by the woman herself.

If she didn't want to talk to you about this, she wouldn't have brought up the topic.

The key is not to be timid and not to make people feel bored.

But Meng Tao, the honest man, answered with the same honesty as always: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. Even if I kill you immediately, I won't touch you."

Hearing Meng Tao's answer, the beautiful woman's smile froze visibly: Where did this unromantic stone come from?

"What's your occupation?" The beauty still wanted to give Meng Tao a chance.

"Accountant." Meng Tao replied.

"Wow, this job is pretty good. It sounds glamorous and well-paid." The beautiful woman said with a smile.

When a beautiful woman compliments you, the best thing to do is to say the same thing.

But don't be too showy, as this will make you look greasy and unreliable, and don't be too modest, as this will make you look unconfident.

Answer: "It's a pretty good job. It gives me enough confidence to dare to look forward to something happening with a beautiful woman like you. Will you?"

This answer is good.

But the honest man Meng Tao said modestly, "Actually, the profession of accountant is nothing special. Working more than 12 hours a day is like being an animal. Did you know that I once didn't sleep for three consecutive days when I was rushing a project?"
I even forgot to take a shower because I was stinking. A career like accountant is not as glamorous as you think.

Hearing this answer, the beauty rolled her eyes.

You are not proud of your profession and think you are nothing special. Then why should I, a beautiful woman pursued by many men, choose you?
And why are you telling me that you stink because you haven’t taken a shower for three days?

When you put it that way, I already have a picture in my mind. How can I look you in the eye?

I used to think you were quite handsome, but now I don’t want to get in touch with you at all.

The beautiful woman's originally warm face now turned cold.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuan, who was hiding nearby, could only run out to save the situation.

He walked forward with a few glasses of wine in his hands and said with a smile, "Did my friend say something strange again?"

"Nothing, it's just that we don't really get along." The beauty said gracefully.

"It's our fault as men for not bringing happiness to a beauty like you. Come, give me a chance and let me buy you a drink." Lin Yuan smiled and handed the wine in his hand to the beauty.

The beautiful woman took it with a smile: "I am happy enough without this glass of wine."

After that, the two toasted.

"Excuse me, my friend and I have something to do, so I'll leave for a while." After saying that, Lin Yuan pulled Meng Tao aside.

"Do you have any experience?" Lin Yuan asked.

"You are so handsome, do you have to lick a beautiful girl before you can hook up with her?" Meng Tao asked.

"Women all like sweet words from men. It's not called licking. Saying a few nice words doesn't cost any money. You have to learn to be thick-skinned and be able to say any compliments." Lin Yuan said.

"Isn't this just a random promise? What if you can't do what you said?" Meng Tao asked.

"Do you think women don't know that there are many things you can't do? You said you would pick stars and the moon for her, you don't really think they want you to do it, right?" Lin Yuan asked.

"So they like to hear lies?" Meng Tao said.

"You have to understand how women feel. If you don't even dare to boast, how can we expect you to do anything?
"I know this logic seems strange to men. Promising something you can't keep is cheating, but women don't think that way. That's just how they think," Lin Yuan replied.

"Okay, then I'll try again." Meng Tao found it difficult.

In the following time, Meng Tao tried to strike up a conversation more than ten times.

All failed without exception.

Faced with the complete defeat, he was quite depressed.

If you want to complete the hardware update and upgrade, you just need to spend money, but software upgrade is not something that can be done casually.

How could he change his thinking and habits easily, which he had maintained for forty years?

Maybe he will never be able to master the playboy skills like Lin Yuan?

Just when Meng Tao was feeling extremely frustrated, Lin Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "I've found a very suitable partner for you. I guarantee you'll succeed this time."

"Really?" After a series of failures, Meng Tao had become somewhat discouraged.

"Did you see the beautiful lady in blue clothes?" Lin Yuan asked.

Following his gaze, Meng Tao looked up.

Gwyneth Paltrow, with blonde hair, was sitting nearby drinking a cocktail.

"That woman came to the bar alone. She was lonely."

"She was looking back and forth, choosing the right target to attack."

"She was drinking the same concoction you had before, and she was just as stuffy as you were before."

"So you can handle her."

After hearing Lin Yuan's analysis, Meng Tao nodded, saying that was the type he liked and he was willing to give it another try.

Lin Yuan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Remember the three no's when talking: don't talk about marriage, don't talk about work, don't talk about children. That way you can have a relaxed and pleasant conversation."

"I understand! I'll go." Meng Tao plucked up his courage and walked forward.

"Hello, beautiful lady, my name is Meng Tao. Can I buy you a drink?" Meng Tao smiled and sat down next to Gwyneth Paltrow.

Gwyneth looked up at Meng Tao for a few times, then shook her head and said, "My name is Gwyneth. Sorry, I haven't been drinking for five years."

When a woman says no, she means yes!

So Meng Tao shouted loudly: "Waiter, give this beautiful lady a glass of 'California Sunshine'."

The waiter quickly brought the wine and placed it in front of Gwyneth.

But she didn't touch the glass of wine.

"Mr. Meng, what do you do for a living? You look quite bookish." Gwyneth asked with a smile.

Three no principles: don’t talk about work!
Men should remain mysterious!
So Meng Tao showed a greasy smile, blinked one eye, and asked in a cool smile: "Guess?"

"I assume you're a university professor," Gwyneth replied.

"No, you guess again?"

"researcher?"

"Still wrong, keep guessing."

"..."

Gwyneth's face darkened.

After so many failures, although Meng Tao didn't know how to succeed, he had already gained enough experience from failure.

How could he not understand that he was about to fail again?

Isn’t it said that using more rhetorical questions and staying mysterious will lead to success?
Why do we still lose?
So he said a little randomly: "I am an accountant and work for PricewaterhouseCoopers."

When Gwyneth heard Meng Tao take the initiative to introduce his profession, her expression improved a little.

Meng Tao asked, "May I have the honor of knowing your occupation?"

When asking this question, Meng Tao thought, she asked me about my occupation first, so there should be nothing wrong if I ask her back, right?
