Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1030 - 1096: I'm Really Not Showing Off

Slam—The sound of a car door gently closing.

The engine emitted its last extinguishing sound.

Footsteps on the ground.

These sounds seamlessly intertwined into a special rhythm, enveloping a certain someone.

At this moment, everyone in the theater was focused on Lin Hai, their faces showing surprise, admiration, envy, and shock.

Although the moment was brief, everyone felt as if they were in a Hollywood blockbuster scene.

They were fortunate today to witness in person a scene that surpassed computer effects without the need for them.

And the mastermind behind this scene was none other than Lin Hai, who was now walking over with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, on behalf of Director Feng, no matter how high the price, please become our crew's special driving skills consultant in the future."

Assistant Director Liu erneng said excitedly, almost to the extreme.

This is definitely a super talent. If he could become the crew's special driving skills consultant, then in the future, the car stunts in each film alone would be a highlight to attract all of Huaxia's audience.

Even those who were waiting for a good show just now looked at Lin Hai with admiration and awe.

Especially the dazzling driving skills made them sigh in wonder and click their tongues in amazement.

"I'm sorry, I'm usually too busy, not very convenient." Lin Hai laughed it off.

Assistant Director Liu erneng, however, did not give up, persistently and eagerly asked, "Mr. Lin, is it about the price? Don't worry, I guarantee we can offer you three times the industry's rate, and once Director Feng sees the footage, he'll definitely offer even more."

A few background actors nearly had their eyes pop out upon hearing the assistant director's words.

Three times the pay, huh? A top-notch driving technician in the industry could earn around five thousand yuan a month.

Doesn't that mean this Lin Hai can easily earn ten thousand a month?

To them, earning ten thousand a month is both a luxury and a dream.

"Uh, it's not about the price," Lin Hai answered helplessly.

"Not satisfied with three times? Knowing Director Feng's character, he might offer you five times the industry's pay or follow international standards, paying per session. An initial estimate suggests just taking two or three gigs a month could earn you over 500,000 a year, and if you have experience working with Hollywood or international films, you could earn more than a million a year."

Liu erneng spoke rapidly, seemingly eager to change Lin Hai's mind.

The surrounding people once again widened their eyes.

A driving technician earning a million annually?

Isn't that too exaggerated?

Although they know that some international stunt doubles earn more, those are replacements for big international stars.

You're just a small driving technician, earning a million annually, and you're still not satisfied?

"Sorry, I really can't agree," Lin Hai spoke up.

"..."

A silence fell over the crowd, a million a year, that's the kind of number many ordinary folks dream about their entire life.

Someone maliciously speculated, whispering to their companion, "This Lin Hai is a bit off, rejecting a million-dollar offer on purpose. Tsk tsk."

"Hmph, I think he's just playing hard to get, tsk tsk, people like that, with a bit of skill, forgets their own name."

"I reckon Director Liu isn't an idiot, a million is just courtesy, this Lin Hai didn't even give him face, where is he going to earn a million a year?"

As expected, upon hearing Lin Hai's rejection and the murmurs around him, Liu erneng's face darkened.

Three rejections in a row, doesn't give any face at all?

However, Liu erneng didn't reach the position of assistant director without going through a lot, he had the ability to keep his emotions in check.

After all, as a friend of the Goddess Zi, he needed to give some face, even though he was rejected, he still wore a regretful smile: "Alas, what a pity, Mr. Lin, if you wish to in the future, feel free to call me anytime, here's my card."

Liu erneng handed his card to Lin Hai with both hands.

"Jingyi Film and Television Company, Assistant Director, Screenwriter, Liu erneng, Contact: 158XXXXXXX."

Lin Hai glanced at the card and put it away.

Jingyi Film and Television was relatively famous in Huaxia, having made quite a few good films, no wonder they could invite the Goddess Zi.

Meanwhile, the Goddess Zi also noticed Liu erneng's slight displeasure and heard the people around talking in low voices about Lin Hai, slightly furrowing her brows.

She hated when people talked about her friends without knowing anything.

"Director Liu, I guess even a million a year might not tempt Mr. Lin," the Goddess Zi stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Oh? Miss Zi, is Mr. Lin an internationally renowned specialized driving technician? Or is he a high-level behind-the-scenes in Hollywood?" Liu erneng put away his dismissiveness and asked.

He knew that as a current popular Little Diva, the Goddess Zi would never make groundless statements.

The people around also perked up, curious about what kind of person Lin Hai was to refuse a million-dollar annual salary without a flinch.

Even Bai Jingjing, who was itching to criticize, was now in an extremely embarrassing state. Her private parts itched painfully yet pleasurably, causing her heavily made-up face to shift emotions rapidly, now wishing Lin Hai would just drop dead on the spot.

"Actually, Mr. Lin is..."

The Goddess Zi looked at Lin Hai, who smiled and nodded.

Getting consent, the Goddess Zi continued:

"Actually, Mr. Lin is a company's chairman, and the company is quite large in Yanjing."

"What?"

Liu erneng's eyes widened.

Being able to run a company in Yanjing, and with the Little Diva saying it's quite large, it certainly must be "big."

He was amazed at how such a young person could be the chairman of a big company, and if it wasn't mentioned, it was impossible to tell.

The people around showed expressions of sudden realization.

No wonder he rejected a million a year, being the chairman of a large company, a million a year? Ha, you're mocking him, right?

"Hmph, just a crummy company, though my boyfriend's status now is also incredibly impressive." Bai Jingjing said with a face full of envy, jealousy, and hatred, filled with a sour tone.

The Goddess Zi, seemingly worried that people wouldn't believe her, added, "Mr. Lin's company has now spread across Huaxia."

In truth, the Goddess Zi was slightly exaggerating; Linya Pharmaceutical hadn't yet spread across all of Huaxia.

However, it had already taken root and blossomed in first-tier cities like Yanjing, Huadu, Zhonghai, Donglong, Xiangjiang, and Shanghai, and covering all of Huaxia was just a matter of time.

"What?"

With this, everyone was taken aback.

A big company in Yanjing, and a company covering all of Huaxia, there is a significant difference between these two.

One represents daily gold intake.

The other represents earning money every second, calculating with an abacus means gold pouring in like water.

Everyone looked at Lin Hai with eyes filled with deep shock and admiration, instead of the mild disdain they previously held.

As for Bai Jingjing, her eyes almost popped out of their sockets, staring at Lin Hai in disbelief.

This seemingly unremarkable, plainly dressed, and seemingly approachable "Mr. Lin," who gave off a vibe of an ordinary person, had such massive wealth?

This... this... is unbelievable!

As everyone was immersed in shock, a remarkably flashy sports car arrogantly drove to the set entrance.

A young man in a suit walked over, although he wore a gentlemanly smile, it couldn't hide the inherent gloom and frivolous gaze in his eyes.

"Jingjing, why haven't you finished filming so late today? I was planning to take you to meet some distinguished guests," the young man said discontentedly as he approached Bai Jingjing.

As soon as he finished speaking, his gaze was deeply attracted by the Goddess Zi's outstanding appearance and aura, causing him to swallow hard.
