Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Lee Boo-jin frowned slightly, her eyes falling thoughtfully on the petite figure.

The childishness on Kim Taeyeon's face has not yet faded, but the heartbeat and struggle just now could not escape Lee Boo-jin's eyes.

The girl's tight embrace of Lim Won's coat might be able to deceive a shrewd businessman like Lee Soo Man and a casual man like Lim Won, but in front of Lee Boo Jin, who has seen countless people, that little thought is like transparent crystal.

What allowed this girl, at such an early age when she was just beginning to fall in love, to suppress her throbbing emotions so restrainedly?
It can’t be for that ridiculous idol dream, right?
Lee Boo-jin shook her head slightly, denying this absurd speculation.

In this real world, how can anyone be so naive?

If you can climb up the big tree of Lin Yuan, who would care about the idol career that requires groveling?

Female idols who rely on their youth to make a living, have to run around recklessly to earn a few dollars, and often have to endure cold stares. What is there to remember about this?
Her eyes inadvertently swept over Aragaki Yui who was standing beside Lin Yuan.

Even if Kim Taeyeon could only get one-tenth, no, one-hundredth of the treatment that this Japanese girl received, it would be enough for her to achieve a class leap that ordinary people could hardly achieve.

It is said that Lin Yuan once wanted to give Aragaki Yui 10% of the shares of Lin Yuan Pictures. This happened on the eve of Lin Yuan helping her to gain control of Samsung, so Lee Boo-jin remembers it particularly clearly.

Before Lin Yuan Pictures carried out its share reform, this part of shares not only represented a huge amount of wealth of 180 billion US dollars, but also meant Lin Yuan's absolute control over the company.

Without the support of this part of the shares, Lin Yuan would no longer be able to have absolute control over the company.

If Yui Aragaki just nods her head, she can become one of the richest women in the world.

If we ignore her actual influence and only look at the magnitude of her wealth, her wealth will be comparable to that of herself, the chairman of Samsung Group.

"It's incredible," Lee Boo-jin sighed in her heart.

Yui Aragaki actually refused this gift that would have made her one of the world's richest people.

If it were someone else, they probably wouldn't even dare to dream of such an opportunity.

When Lee Boo-jin heard the news, she almost thought she was listening to a ridiculous joke.

However, the transfer of such a large amount of equity, even if it is just an intention, must be formally notified to the company's major shareholders in writing.

The notice written in black and white, issued by the law firm and stamped with the official seal, is impossible to forge.

Such a major business decision can never be treated as a joke.

But Yui Aragaki did refuse. She was only 19 years old at that time...

Lee Boo-jin suddenly realized why Lin Yuan accepted Yui Aragaki into his life.

And why is it that there is always a layer of unbreakable window paper between him and Lin Yuan?

Thinking of this, Li Fuzhen couldn't help but sigh:

I am 34 years old, but in terms of willingness to spend, I am not as good as a 19-year-old girl.

Lee Boo-jin only felt that the fog in front of her eyes had dissipated, and a clear road unfolded before her - it turned out that only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity.

Now the choice is in her hands. It depends on whether she can make up her mind and take this path.

The carriage fell into a subtle silence for a moment. Everyone was thinking about their own things, and the previously lively conversation naturally stopped.

But the silence was not embarrassing, because the car slowly turned at this moment and drove into a spacious house hidden in the greenery.

Although this vast mansion is only three stories high, it exudes low-key luxury.

The red brick exterior is covered with ivy, dotted with small flowers, which glow softly in the sun.

The courtyard is full of flowers and trees, and tall oak trees support the dense canopy, casting mottled shadows.

To those who understand, this kind of house can be seen as low-key luxury at a glance.

Kim Taeyeon unconsciously pressed her eyes against the car window, her clear eyes reflecting the spring scenery in the garden. This vibrant courtyard reminded her of her hometown in Jeonju, but with a touch of elegance and refinement.

Lee Boo-jin nodded slightly, her eyes sweeping over the sturdy trees. These trees, which took decades to grow, created a rich sense of time, just as impressive as her old Lee family residence.

After all, South Korea is a country that has been ravaged by war many times. Apart from a few palaces, most of the houses do not have a long history.

Lin Yuna blinked her eyes, stunned by the fairy-tale scenery before her and speechless.

The brick walls covered with vines reminded her of European castles, while the well-maintained garden exuded a Japanese Zen feel.

This style that combines Chinese and Western styles is definitely the favorite of female intellectuals in later generations.

Lin Yuna, who has the strongest literary and artistic temperament in Girls' Generation, naturally likes the house in front of her from the bottom of her heart.

She smiled unconsciously, full of anticipation for the place where she would spend the next few days.

"This is Lin Yuan's residence in Douglaston," Gakki-chan introduced at the right moment. "It's also his main residence."

This subtle wording allowed everyone in the car to grasp the key information - for top wealthy people like Lin Yuan, there is a world of difference between "residence" and "home".

Just like his luxury apartments and vacation villas scattered around the world, they are ultimately just a line of numbers on a cold list of assets.

Only a place where he is willing to live regularly can be called "home".

Lin Yuan has only two homes in North America:

One is the manor in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles on the west coast, which was given to him by Mr. Eisen a few years ago and was also the first mansion he owned.

The other is this house in Douglaston, New York City on the East Coast.

Lin Yuan’s two homes have one thing in common, that is, they are both located in the so-called “rich gathering area”.

I have to say that this does not quite fit his status as a top billionaire.

But the use of the word "gathering place" itself shows that these two places are not the best.

Because the richest people in the United States would not live in such "rich gathering areas".

There is always a shortage of luxury cars and paparazzi under the palm trees of Beverly Hills and along the tree-lined avenues of Douglaston Town.

This is an unreasonable choice in the eyes of American old money.

The truly top wealthy families have always preferred to buy the entire mountain and privatize the coastline, and it would be best if they were the only family nearby.

If there are already other people's houses nearby, the top rich people will choose to buy their houses and then demolish them.

This way you can ensure the absolute privacy of your home.

Lin Yuan had already experienced this, just like the Adams family's secret manor twenty kilometers away from Washington, DC.

Or the Mellon family's villa where their heir was buried - a place with no one living within a ten-mile radius was what they considered respectable.

But ironically, it provided extremely convenient conditions for Lin Yuan's surprise attack.

But these are the habits of the top wealthy people in the United States. As a Chinese, Lin Yuan still prefers to be surrounded by more people.

He doesn't like places where no one lives, no matter how beautiful the scenery is.

In his eyes, no matter how beautiful the sea and mountain scenery is, it cannot compare to the aroma of the bakery in the morning and the greetings between neighbors in the evening.

This "down-to-earth" feeling rooted in traditional Chinese culture is a warmth that cannot be replaced by any luxurious manor.

The aroma of coffee in Beverly Hills, the bustling morning market in Douglaston—these atmospheres, considered "not high-class" by the old money, are precisely the taste of home that Lin Yuan cherishes most. Lee Boo-jin gazed at the lush green town, a faint smile playing on her lips. "This place is really nice. I'd like to buy a house here and be your neighbor."

"Then you may not be able to buy it." Lin Yuan replied.

"If I offer a high price, there will always be someone willing to give it up, right?" asked Lee Boo-jin.

Lin Yuan suddenly revealed a meaningful smile and pointed eastward: "See that white Victorian-style building? That's Sissi's home. She's lived there since she was in middle school."

Without waiting for Lee Boo-jin to respond, he pointed south again: "The red brick building with the chimney—Taylor Swift's weekend home."

"Diagonally across from me, covered with roses, is Betty's private residence."

"Anne Hathaway returns to the house with blue shutters every weekend."

"That's Charlize Theron's house. They just renovated the garden."

"Director Cohen's study faces my terrace."

"Nolan's basement was converted into a private cinema, which is much better than the one at my house, so I often go there to watch movies."

"As for the manor with the fountain on the corner..." Lin Yuan paused and continued, "Mr. Eisen feeds the swans there every morning."

Her expression gradually changed from surprise to amusement, and finally turned into a sigh: "My goodness, you turned the entire town of Douglaston into your own backyard?"

"By the way, didn't Ms. Aragaki buy a house here?" Lee Boo-jin suddenly asked curiously.

Gakki shook her head slightly when she heard that. The sunlight filtering through the car window cast tiny specks of light on her porcelain-white skin. "I'm just Lin Yuanjun's assistant."

Her voice was as soft as the cherry blossoms in Kyoto in April. "Wherever he is, I'll be there. It's such a shame to buy a house and leave it empty."

Lee Boo-jin's breathing paused slightly.

At this moment, she finally understood what kind of resolute persistence was hidden in the bones of this seemingly gentle Japanese girl.

No need for property, no need for a retreat, just completely rely on one person.

It’s no wonder that this kind of almost all-or-nothing companionship makes it so hard for a man like Lin Yuan to let go.

"Let's go." Lin Yuan broke the brief silence at the right moment, pushing open the car door and letting in a breeze scented with roses. "The housekeeper has prepared the guest rooms. You need to rest after such a long flight."

Indeed, despite taking the top-of-the-line private jet, the long-distance flight across thirteen time zones still left a look of fatigue on the faces of the three ladies.

There was a faint blue shadow at the corners of Lee Boo-jin's eyes, Kim Taeyeon kept rubbing her temples, and even the youngest member, Yoona, had lost her former vitality.

Lin Yuan considerately did not arrange any activities.

He knew very well that what they needed most at this moment was a soft bed, a hot bath, and enough time for their biological clocks to slowly adapt.

After all, no matter how exquisite the dinner is, it can’t compare to a deep sleep that can truly relieve fatigue.

"I'll come and call you for dinner later," said Lin Yuan.

At this time, the housekeeper and the housekeeping staff came forward to help Lee Boo-jin and her party, picked up the suitcases in their hands, and took them to their respective rooms.

Saragama and other security personnel also drove away in a Lincoln sedan.

Normally, these stretched sedans are not parked in Lin Yuan’s backyard, but in the security team’s residential area nearby.

There was a large and bustling crowd before, but now it suddenly became deserted.

Only Lin Yuan and GAKKI-chan were left in the venue.

Lin Yuan took a step forward and stretched out his hands to pinch GAKKI-chan's face: "You have been very naughty today."

"What's wrong with me?" GAKKI-chan pretended to be deaf and dumb and said, "You can't slander me."

Good guy, he even learned to turn the tables.

Lin Yuan reached out and gently patted GAKKI-chan's buttocks twice.

You can't even tell whether this is a punishment or a reward?

I have to say, it is very elastic and feels pretty good.

So Lin Yuan took a few more photos.

This action made GAKKI's face immediately red:

"There are a lot of guests today, don't let anyone see us!"

"You know they are guests, but why did you do that?" Lin Yuan asked.

GAKKI naturally knew that Lin Yuan was referring to the incident in the Lincoln sedan before when she deliberately spilled the apple sparkling water when handing it to Kim Taeyeon.

"I did it on purpose." GAKKI said directly.

"Hmm? You admit it, but you don't deny it?" Lin Yuan asked with a smile.

"Well! Be responsible for your actions! I will never lie to you." GAKKI said.

"Then why did you do this? It's very rude. Even if you want to play some tricks, you can just go after Lee Boo-jin. Why target a little girl?" Lin Yuan asked.

He was indeed a little confused, as this did not fit his impression of GAKKI-chan's behavior.

GAKKI has always been a very gentle person. She doesn't act on her own too much, and she certainly won't do anything that looks like "bullying."

"Because I feel that you seem to have a special liking for that little girl named Kim Taeyeon, even more than for Lin Yoona who you are more familiar with." GAKKI said.

Hearing this answer, Lin Yuan smiled helplessly.

"How do you know I have a crush on you?"

"Because I know you very well."

"But I don't know it myself."

"That's why you need me."

"Ok?"

The Riddler is hateful!
Lin Yuan couldn't understand what GAKKI-chan meant for a moment.

Fortunately, GAKKI-chan didn't let him wait. She said, "Lin Yuan, you can see through other people's hearts, but you can't see your own heart clearly."

"Sometimes you act hesitant because you don't really know what you want, especially when it comes to women."

"All I can say is to help you confirm your heart."

"As long as it's what you want, I will do my best to help you achieve it."

"Of course, I won't impose my will on you if you don't want it."

Lin Yuan: (1`1;)
GAKKI, have you watched The Deer and the Cauldron recently? (End of this chapter)
