Entertainment: I really don’t want to be a thief!

Chapter 552 Take a break
"Lin Ke, now is a good time to strike while the iron is hot!" The agent Wang Ge's voice came through the phone, sounding particularly excited. "The popularity of Hunter has not subsided yet, and the audience's expectations of you are at their peak! I have already contacted several scripts for you, all of which are big productions and directed by big names. Do you have any interest in any of them?"

"Brother Wang, you know me. I don't like being chased by work." Lin Ke's voice was calm and firm. "I want to take a break for a while and calm myself down."

"Rest? My big star, you can rest whenever you want. Now is the golden period of your career, how can you waste time?" Brother Wang's tone was full of anxiety. "Look at those popular young actors nowadays, they all shoot one movie after another, for fear of being forgotten by the audience!"

"Brother Wang, I understand what you mean, but I don't want to lose myself in the pursuit of fame and fortune." Lin Ke's tone was gentle, but it revealed an unquestionable firmness. "I need time to think and experience life, so that I can better interpret the role and create a work that truly touches people's hearts."

"Oh, you are always so stubborn!" Brother Wang sighed helplessly, "Okay, take a break, but not for too long, at most one month, and you must come back to work after one month!"

"One month? That's too short." Lin Ke smiled softly, "I already have a new plan."

"What plan?" Brother Wang asked curiously.

"Travel." Lin Ke's tone was a little mysterious. "I want to go to a faraway place, experience a different culture, and feel a different life."

"Travel? You go alone?" Brother Wang was a little surprised. "Do you want me to help you arrange the itinerary and find a reliable tour guide?"

"No, I want to go alone on this trip." Lin Ke's voice was full of anticipation, "I want to think quietly by myself and feel the beauty of this world."

"Being alone? That's so boring!" Brother Wang tried to dissuade him, "How about I help you find a partner? The company has just signed a few female artists, they are all very beautiful and talented..."

"Brother Wang, you're here again." Lin Ke interrupted him helplessly, "I've decided that I want to go alone on this trip."

"Okay, okay, it's up to you." Brother Wang finally compromised, "But you're out there alone, so be sure to be safe. Call me if you have any questions."

"I understand, Brother Wang." Lin Ke agreed with a smile, "I will take good care of myself."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Ke walked to the window, looking at the bustling city night scene outside the window, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"Travel, where should I go?" he murmured to himself, and the figure of a young man emerged in his mind.

"Wang Huaiyuan, maybe you can go with me." Lin Ke smiled, his eyes full of anticipation.

Wang Huaiyuan is a high school student sponsored by Lin Ke. He is excellent in both character and study, but his family is poor. Lin Ke accidentally learned about his situation and decided to sponsor him to complete his studies.

Lin Ke called Wang Huaiyuan, and the boy's slightly nervous voice came from the other end of the line: "Hello, Mr. Lin."

"Huaiyuan, how are your studies going recently?" Lin Ke asked gently.

"I'm fine. Thank you Mr. Lin for your concern." Wang Huaiyuan's voice was full of gratitude. "I got the first place in the class in the midterm exam."

"Good, keep up the good work." Lin Ke encouraged, "I have a plan and would like to invite you to travel together, what do you think?"

"Travel?" Wang Huaiyuan's voice was full of surprise. "Can I...can I?"

"Of course, I've decided. You'll go with me." Lin Ke said firmly, "This trip should be a way for you to relax after studying."

"But, my studies..." Wang Huaiyuan hesitated.

"Don't worry, I've already told your teacher, he will help you arrange your study schedule." Lin Ke said with a smile, "This trip can be considered a gift from me to you."

"Mr. Lin, I..." Wang Huaiyuan's voice choked, "I don't know how to thank you."

"You're welcome. Studying hard is the best reward for me." Lin Ke said gently, "Okay, it's settled. Get ready. We'll leave tomorrow."

"Tomorrow?" Wang Huaiyuan was even more surprised. "So soon?"

"Well, I have booked the ticket. The flight is at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning." Lin Ke said in a relaxed tone, "You pack some simple luggage, and we can buy the other things when we get there." "Okay, okay." Wang Huaiyuan's voice was full of excitement and nervousness.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Huaiyuan's heart beat faster and his palms were sweaty.

"Travel, travel with Mr. Lin?" He couldn't believe his ears. "This, this is incredible!"

Wang Huaiyuan comes from a poor family. From childhood to adulthood, he has never left his city, let alone travel.

"Mr. Lin, why are you so nice to me?" Wang Huaiyuan was filled with gratitude and confusion, "I, how can I be so worthy..."

The next morning, Lin Ke drove to Wang Huaiyuan's house to pick him up personally.

Wang Huaiyuan packed his luggage early and stood downstairs waiting anxiously.

Seeing Lin Ke's car slowly approaching, Wang Huaiyuan's heartbeat accelerated again and his palms were full of sweat.

"Mr. Lin." Wang Huaiyuan greeted nervously.

"Let's go, we're going to the airport." Lin Ke said with a smile.

Wang Huaiyuan got into Lin Ke's car and didn't say a word along the way, appearing extremely reserved.

"What's wrong? Are you nervous?" Lin Ke asked with a smile.

"A little bit." Wang Huaiyuan lowered his head embarrassedly, "I, I have never been on a plane."

"It's okay. It's always a little nervous to take a plane for the first time." Lin Ke comforted him, "Relax, just treat it as taking a bus."

"Yeah." Wang Huaiyuan nodded gently, but he still couldn't calm down.

After arriving at the airport, Lin Ke took Wang Huaiyuan to check in, and then walked into the waiting hall together.

Wang Huaiyuan looked at everything around him curiously, his eyes full of novelty and excitement.

"First time at the airport?" Lin Ke asked with a smile.

"Yeah." Wang Huaiyuan nodded shyly, "This place is so big and beautiful."

"You will come here often in the future." Lin Ke encouraged, "As long as you study hard, you will have many opportunities to go abroad and see the wider world in the future."

"Well, I will try my best." Wang Huaiyuan nodded firmly.

"Let's go, let's board the plane." Lin Ke took Wang Huaiyuan to the boarding gate.

After the plane took off, Wang Huaiyuan looked at the city outside the window which was getting smaller and smaller, his heart filled with anticipation and anxiety.

"Mr. Lin, where are we going?" Wang Huaiyuan asked curiously.

"Beautiful country." Lin Ke said with a smile, "a country full of vitality and opportunities."

"Beautiful Country?" Wang Huaiyuan's eyes lit up. "I heard there are many famous universities and high-tech companies there."
