Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 570: Matters that require urgent attention, first collective meeting

The master bedroom on the second floor of Lin Yuan’s villa in Douglaston, New York.

"Dalang, get up and take your medicine." Liu Yufei walked to the bedside with the medicine.

The angel, wearing a caramel-colored Max Mara long cashmere trench coat, had a stern face.

Lin Yuan smiled helplessly and said, "You're not really going to murder your husband, are you?"

"Of course, I added dimethylmercury to the medicine. If you drink it, you will be like Morio Mitsui, struggling desperately in pain with your whole body twisted." Liu Yufei said viciously.

"You know about this?"

Lin Yuan knew that what Liu Yufei was referring to was not just this one incident, but a series of shameful and dangerous things.

Lin Yuan had never told her in the past few years, but now she finally knew everything during the communication after all the girls gathered together.

"Of course! How many things have you been hiding from me?"

"I really didn't hide much from you, I just didn't want you to get involved in these dirty things."

Liu Yufei sighed and sat down beside his bed: "Lin Yuan, you are a little too chauvinistic."

"I……"

"Please listen to me first. Macho is not a derogatory term. In my context, it is a neutral term.

On the one hand, you use your strong arms to create a safe space for me, trying to protect me from any harm, and not wanting me to be exposed to even the slightest darkness.

But on the other hand, your protection is also a kind of contempt for me, thinking that I can't face the dark side that appears in your life.

I don't like this, especially knowing that Betty can face it with you, while I have to be protected by you. This feeling makes me even more uncomfortable." Liu Yufei said.

After hearing this, Lin Yuan finally understood why Liu Yufei was angry.

After Taylor Swift picked up Liu Yufei from the airport, she learned on the way that Lin Yuan was safe and sound and had extraordinary healing abilities. The fairy, who was no longer worried, did not give Lin Yuan a good look from the moment they met.

This left Lin Yuan confused. He originally thought that it was because of the filming that he was seriously injured, which made Liu Yufei feel very sad, but he soon found out that this was not the case.

In fact, when it comes to filming, Liu Yufei is the woman who has experienced the most dangers in Lin Yuan.

Whether it was climbing the Dubai Tower and skydiving from a very high altitude in "The King of Spy Wars", jumping over the Niagara Falls in "Lin Yuan and His Wife", or even the real-life slingshot and jumping over the Hukou Falls in "The Legend of Tang Ying Ge", these were Lin Yuan's most dangerous scenes, and they all caused Lin Yuan to suffer a lot of injuries.

Liu Yufei accompanied Lin Yuan in filming these scenes. Even when the crew was in chaos due to an accident, it was Liu Yufei who stepped forward to stabilize people's hearts.

Therefore, when it comes to filming, no matter what Lin Yuan does or what risks he takes, Liu Yufei will only support him unconditionally.

Apart from the filming reasons, Lin Yuan also suspected that it was because such a large group of "harem" gathered together made her feel very uncomfortable.

But seeing Liu Yufei laughing and chatting sincerely with other women, Lin Yuan knew that this was not the reason.

Now, he understood why Liu Yufei was angry: she was blaming him for not being honest enough.

Betty knew that there were many things that she could face with him, but as his official girlfriend, she had to be protected.

Lin Yuan could say that because Betty had already been involved in these bloody things, but you hadn’t, I wanted to protect you.

But Liu Yufei would definitely not accept it, because this is not the way a couple should get along.

Although the two have not married, they have long regarded each other as their partners in their hearts.

A couple, one is soaked in blood, while the other is as white as jade. Is this reasonable?
If you go to the eighteen levels of hell, I will risk my life to accompany you, and we will face everything together!
Lin Yuan recalled that during the filming of "Lin Yuan and His Wife," she once told herself very seriously: "No matter what happens, don't hide it from me. As long as you tell me honestly, I can accept anything."

This is the attitude Liu Yufei wants.

Lin Yuan then stretched out his bandaged hand and held Liu Yufei's hand: "I won't hide it from you anymore."

"Then I want to tell you again." Liu Yufei said.

So Lin Yuan started by talking about the assassination of the late MGM president Mills, then moved on to the killings in the Barkawi slums, the feud between Samsung Group and Mitsui Group, and finally the tragedy in the village of Shala in Congo.

In fact, Liu Yufei knew everything, but she just wanted to listen to Lin Yuan explain it to her again. These were areas that she had never touched in the past few years.

As Liu Yufei listened to Lin Yuan's story, she felt as if she had experienced these dangers with him.

When the two finished their conversation, they were surprised to find that they had talked for so long that the medicine Liu Yufei brought had already gone cold.

"I'll go reheat the medicine." Liu Yufei stood up.

Lin Yuan pulled her back to sit on the bed. "Don't bother. I'll be almost fully recovered by tomorrow. It doesn't matter whether you take the medicine or not. Just sit with me for a while."

"Okay, I'll stay with you." Liu Yufei smiled and sat in front of the bed, looking at him quietly.

The scene before him struck Lin Yuan's heart like lightning.

In his previous life, when he was bedridden, Liu Yufei came to his bedside several times.

Just like this, he sat quietly beside her, accompanying her silently.

It’s just that I was too self-conscious in my previous life, so I became too sensitive, even actively provoking her with words and cutting off contact.

When this scene appeared in front of Lin Yuan again, an irresistible impulse suddenly surged in his heart.

"Sissi."

"what happened?"

"Let's get married!"

"what?"

Lin Yuan finally said what he had kept in his heart for a long time and had always wanted to say since his previous life.

Liu Yufei had never expected that Lin Yuan would propose to her so abruptly in such an occasion.

There was no diamond ring for proposal, no sweet vows, and even Lin Yuan's injury had not healed yet, and he was lying on the hospital bed wrapped in bandages.

But that feeling of happiness still fills Liu Yufei's heart.

Compared to a proposal that has been planned for a long time and is full of rituals, she prefers this kind of expression which seems simple because it is sudden.

When a proposal ceremony has been prepared for a long time, it seems to be the product of rational consideration.

In her opinion, such a sudden proposal, which was made out of emotion, was a more emotional expression of true feelings.

So Liu Yufei nodded: "Okay."

But before Lin Yuan could say anything, she continued, "I accept your proposal. But let's not get married so soon. It would be more appropriate to wait a few years."

"Why? What's inappropriate now?"

"You're still in the rising stage of your career."

"I'm not an idol, so dating and getting married has no impact on me."

"But after you get married, if the media finds out that you have a close relationship with Betty Taylor and the others, it will affect your public image and even cause your reputation to collapse."

After hearing what Liu Yufei said, Lin Yuan had to admit that she was telling the truth.

In Europe and the United States, people don't particularly care about celebrities having extramarital affairs.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about gossip leading to a collapse of the house.

However, the public's tolerance for an unmarried playboy who dates several beautiful women at the same time and a married man who continues to fool around is completely different.

Perhaps Lin Yuan's health bar is thick enough and his defense is high enough, so even if his private life is exposed by the media, it will not affect the audience's love for him.

But Liu Yufei was unwilling to take such a risk. Even though she hoped to marry Lin Yuan at this moment, she still chose to put Lin Yuan first.

Liu Yufei reached out and gently stroked Lin Yuan's face: "Don't try to persuade me, this is my decision. I have already accepted your proposal, and in my heart we are already husband and wife.

As for that certificate, I don't think it's important. We can get it in a few years."

Lin Yuan nodded and stopped insisting.

Liu Yufei continued, "I know your injury is almost healed, so I won't treat you as a patient anymore. There are two things that need to be taken care of immediately."

"You said."

"The first thing was suggested by Sister Betty, regarding the establishment of Linyuan Group and the division of authority. Let's just do it while we are all together for a rare time." Liu Yufei said.

Liu Yufei used the word "group", but what she really wanted to express was "consortium".

So far, the number of industries controlled by Lin Yuan has been increasing.

Even a small portion of these industries is already quite large. For example, Linyuan Pictures is a super giant with a market capitalization of over $1800 billion.

The biggest problem now is that these industries are all operating independently and have not established a unified and planned collaborative relationship within their business networks.

Therefore, Betty timely proposed that Linyuan’s industry should be replanned from the perspective of the entire group.

In fact, Betty had already proposed this idea when filming in Xiala Village.

At that time, she and GAKKI-chan also subtly reminded Lin Yuan that more people who could be absolutely trusted were needed to join the group's organizational structure.

Annie, Gao Yuanyuan, and Jia Jingwen are all candidates they hope to introduce, and now there is another one: Charlize Theron.

After this wildfire scene, Charlize Theron also gained recognition from other women.

Because of Lin Yuan's injury, the eight women got together for a rare occasion, so it was naturally necessary for everyone to sit together and discuss the overall planning of the Lin Yuan Group.

Regarding Liu Yufei's first suggestion, Lin Yuan naturally nodded in agreement and said, "Of course, Betty should have come up with a plan, right?"

"There is an uncertain plan." Liu Yufei said.

"Unsure? With her ability, how could the plan she came up with be uncertain?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

"I'm not sure if you'll have more close female friends," Liu Yufei said. "If a few more pop up in the short term, won't we have to make adjustments? Betty isn't sure if she should leave some space."

"Cough cough cough..."

"Stop pretending to cough. I know you can't cough."

Lin Yuan, who was exposed, said awkwardly, "It's gone. It's really gone."

"Really? I heard that Lee Boo-jin seemed to want to help you develop a few people in Seoul? The two girls who accompanied you when you had dinner together last time were called Kim Taeyeon and Lim Yoona, right? It seems like you have a good impression of them?" Liu Yufei asked with a smile.

"I just feel that it's not easy for those girls. They are not even adults yet. How could I have any thoughts about that?" Lin Yuan replied immediately.

"Didn't you already have evil intentions when I was still a minor?"

"How can it be the same? It really won't happen again. I can hardly take care of it anymore."

"Okay, I'll believe you for now. I hope you don't prove the theorem that humans always slap themselves in the face."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. You said there's another urgent matter that needs to be dealt with. What is it?" Lin Yuan chose to jump to the next topic.

Liu Yufei didn't insist on it, but followed Lin Yuan's topic and said, "Do you know how explosive the news media has been these past few days?"

"News and public opinion?" Lin Yuan asked. Liu Yufei handed Lin Yuan a stack of newspapers, which he took.

The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal... they are all old acquaintances and friends.

All the newspaper headlines were about Lin Yuan:
Lin Yuan secretly filmed in Edmonton and is suspected to be seriously injured!

"A special plane brought Lin Yuan back for emergency treatment, is his life hanging by a thread?"

"What is the most thrilling challenge for Lin Yuan since he started acting?"

An accidental failure? Or is Lin Yuan past his prime?

……

Seeing the headlines of these newspapers, Lin Yuan naturally understood.

It was impossible to hide from the news media the fact that he was sent back to New York for treatment on a special plane while in a coma. After all, the commotion was too big, and with so many people watching him, how could they not have noticed?

As the world's richest man and the most watched superstar in the world, Lin Yuan's serious injury is already super news.

It is enough to make all the media like sharks smelling blood and chasing the reports frantically.

What's more, Lin Yuan's health condition will directly affect the stock price of Lin Yuan Pictures.

His safety is related to the wallets of countless people.

"Has the company's stock price fallen?" Lin Yuan asked.

Liu Yufei nodded. "Since the news of your serious injury broke, the stock has fallen by 9% and 11% in the past two trading days."

"Who leaked my information... Never mind... There's no point in pursuing this." Lin Yuan cut off his words halfway through.

There is a high probability that a large amount of his health information was leaked from the hospital, but there is really not much point in pursuing this.

Lin Yuan knows that his health information is of great value.

The crazy decline for two consecutive trading days means that at least $700 billion in wealth has evaporated.

Faced with such huge interests, leaking his health information is almost inevitable.

Even if they knew that Lin Yuan might hold them accountable, they would still sell the information. For many people, whether they could retire early in this life depended on this vote.

Lin Yuan knew that this could not be concealed at all. The temptation brought by the interests was too great, so he was too lazy to question what was beyond human nature.

"Betty mobilized $30 billion in funds and bought the company's stock at the bottom before yesterday's closing," said Liu Yufei.

After hearing Liu Yufei's words, Lin Yuan immediately understood what the second thing was.

He said, "You need to hold a press conference and let me show up to stabilize the confidence of the capital market, right?"

Now the gossip about Lin Yuan must be all over the city, and it must be interpreted in a bad way.

Lin Yuan was sure that there were rumors that he was critically ill or even about to die.

The phones of Betty Boop, Liu Yufei, Taylor Swift, and GAKKI-chan must have been bombarded with calls from investors.

In this situation, no matter what explanation is given, it will be useless. Only when Master Lin Yuan appears in public can the rumors be resolved to the greatest extent and the situation be stabilized.

Then, holding a press conference must be the best choice.

After Lin Yuan's response, Liu Yufei nodded and said, "We've agreed that in addition to the press conference, it would be best to include the launch press conference for 'King of Spy 2' as well. This will help the film gain significant attention and publicity, giving it a head start."

When Lin Yuan heard this idea, he was amazed.

Now the whole world is focused on Lin Yuan’s physical condition.
Holding a press conference at this time is bound to attract unparalleled attention.

And then, taking advantage of the golden opportunity of the press conference to promote "Lord of Spy Wars 2" was not just a free ride, it was also a rocket ride.

What’s even more interesting is that Lin Yuan’s injury was caused by the filming of "The King of Spy 2", so it not only does not seem abrupt, but will make all the audience feel more reasonable.

So Lin Yuan said, "The press conference should be held sooner rather than later. Let's hold it tomorrow. We can notify the media reporters and issue passes now."

"Well, I'll go and carry out this work in a while. But I'll have to inconvenience you by having to wear bandages and sit in a wheelchair to go to the scene and pretend to be sick." Liu Yufei said.

According to the information available at the hospital, Lin Yuan will not be discharged for another month.

Being discharged from the hospital does not mean complete recovery. In fact, it will take at least 40 days for Lin Yuan to appear in front of the public in good health.

Therefore, he can only pretend to be unwell tomorrow and try his best to attend the press conference.

"Wait a moment, I'll call them in." Liu Yufei touched Lin Yuan's face and said.

After confirming the two things that Lin Yuan had to deal with immediately, Liu Yufei was about to go out and call in the other seven women who were waiting outside the door.

In fact, at this time, everyone wanted to spend more time with Lin Yuan, but they all gave the opportunity to Liu Yufei.

This is their unanimous recognition of Liu Yufei's transcendent status.

Now that Liu Yufei and Lin Yuan have finished their private conversation, it's time to let them come in and discuss things together.

"Everyone, come in. Hurry up. Those who walk in front can sit on the beds, and those who walk in the back can only move chairs to sit." Liu Yufei said with a smile.

"I don't care about sitting on Lin Yuan's bed." Taylor Swift was as arrogant as ever, but her body was honest as she quickened her pace a few steps and took the first position.

Behind her, Betty and others followed into the room.

Charlize Theron walked last as she walked past Liu Yufei.

Liu Yufei whispered, "Charlize, it's nice to meet you for the first time. Thank you so much for what happened that day."

"This is what I should do. I believe any one of you here would do better than me. But I accept your thanks." Her voice was still hoarse at this moment.

Accept thanks?

This may sound strange to outsiders who don't understand the situation.

But in the conversation between Liu Yufei and Charlize Theron, it is not surprising at all.

For Charlize Theron, she could tell Lin Yuan, "No need to thank me, don't ever say thank you to me, it's too polite."

But when she faced Liu Yufei, Liu Yufei had to say thank you, and she had to accept it.

Liu Yufei expressed her gratitude as a girlfriend and future wife.

Charlize Theron's acceptance of thanks also shows that she is able to know when to stop and will not think that she has a closer relationship with Lin Yuan, and it is not Liu Yufei's turn to say thank you.

So this is very important.

When both of them understand the relationship clearly, the atmosphere naturally becomes quite harmonious.

Liu Yufei took Charlize Theron's hand and whispered, "Do you know what we're going to talk about?"

Charlize nodded: "Betty just told me that we need to set up and plan the business scope of Linyuan Group?"

"Well, we hope you can help Lin Yuan more and not put all the burden on him alone." Liu Yufei said.

It has to be said that after several years of training on the commercial stage, Liu Yufei has become quite mature and sophisticated, and speaks quite appropriately.

What do you mean by helping Lin Yuan more and sharing some of the burden?
This is a distribution of enormous power.

If this is considered a hard job, then countless people who have long dreamed of it but cannot achieve it will probably faint in the toilet crying.

At this moment, the industries controlled by Lin Yuan span several continents including Asia, Africa, America, and several world economic powers.

For Charlize Theron, being able to gain management rights in any industry would instantly allow her to leap into higher class.

She will immediately transform from a Hollywood actress who relies on others for resources into a super boss who can be satisfied by just a little bit of sesame seeds slipping through her fingers.

This made Charlize Theron a little confused. She didn't expect that she would get such a generous reward. She was overjoyed.

But Charlize Theron's mind was focused, and she quickly and calmly realized that for her, this power was irresistible.

Lin Yuan's trust in her, even to the point of revealing his secrets, made her completely bound to Lin Yuan, and she had to accept both power and obligations.

Charlize Theron had no objection to this.

Which woman can refuse Lin Yuan?

What's more, he gave too much!

Charlize Theron was pulled by Liu Yufei and was the last one to enter the room.

At this time, there were eight stunning beauties sitting in the room, four of them had blonde hair and four had black hair, which perfectly revealed Lin Yuan's aesthetic tendencies.

Lin Yuan smiled and pulled Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen, who wanted to sit in the back row, and asked them to sit by his bed.

Compared to Betty and GAKKI-chan, she is always by my side.

Lin Yuan felt a little guilty towards Gao Yuanyuan and Jia Jingwen, as he indeed spent less time with them.

Since finishing the filming of "The Heroes of Tang Dynasty", Lin Yuan flew to Cherrapunji to film, and then to Congo.

They haven't seen each other for more than three months. Although they communicate on the phone every two or three days, Lin Yuan still feels a little guilty that he has given too little.

The smart Jia Jingwen immediately understood Lin Yuan's emotions.

She smiled and leaned close to Lin Yuan's ear and said, "Don't feel guilty. We are all women with inner beauty. We won't be like little women who are pretentious and clingy."

Lin Yuan almost choked when he heard Jia Jingwen's words.

For him and Jia Jingwen, the word "inner beauty" has a special meaning.

It was also under Jia Jingwen's guidance that Lin Yuan was able to completely distinguish where the inner "beauty" of herself and Gao Yuanyuan lies.

"We are not as self-pitying as you think. Now is the time to talk about business." Jia Jingwen said with a smile again.

Gao Yuanyuan, who was standing by, just smiled and reached out to massage Lin Yuan's feet.

Gao Yuanyuan knew that Lin Yuan's injuries had mostly healed, but after lying in bed pretending to be sick for so long, the blood circulation in his lower limbs would be somewhat poor.

She always prefers to express her feelings through actions rather than words.

At this time, seeing that everyone was present and seated, Betty took out a document and handed it to everyone.

“Please take a look at this, and if you think anything is inappropriate or you want to make adjustments, please speak up immediately.

Don't feel any psychological burden, and don't worry about not being able to do the job.

I believe we are here because we all put Lin Yuan first instead of fighting for power.

Everyone should be united in their goal of helping Lin Yuan relieve his stress."

Betty used the terms "everyone" and "everyone" instead of "sisters", which made Lin Yuan feel quite comfortable.
