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

Chapter 576 Celebrity Donations
He knew that the three thousand yuan might mean a lot to Wang Huaiyuan, but he donated it without hesitation.

"Good job, Huaiyuan!" Lin Ke patted Wang Huaiyuan on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Your kindness is more precious than anything else!"

Wang Huaiyuan's kind act also touched everyone present.

“I want to donate too!”

"I also want!"

……

Celebrities responded one after another, with some donating one million and some donating five million. In a short period of time, the amount of donations exceeded ten million.

With this huge sum of money, post-disaster reconstruction work was carried out quickly.

The disaster area, which was originally lifeless, seemed to have come alive overnight.

Everywhere there is a scene of bustling work.

The men worked hard to carry bricks and wood, while the women gathered together to wash clothes soaked by the flood.

Children were running and playing among the ruins, and their clear laughter dispelled the gloom that had shrouded people's hearts for many days.

Lin Ke changed into a simple T-shirt and jeans, wore a straw hat, blended into the crowd, and helped carry supplies.

"Mr. Lin, why are you doing this yourself? Let us do the rough and tiring work!" A middle-aged man saw Lin Ke, quickly put down the work in his hands, and said with a look of panic.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, you are a noble man, how can you do such rough work?"

"You should go and have some rest. We are here to take care of you!"

The disaster victims around also gathered around and talked at once.

Lin Ke wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Don't be polite to me, I'm young and strong, so doing a little work is nothing. Besides, I'm here to help, so don't treat me as an outsider."

"Mr. Lin is such a good man!"

"Yeah, not a celebrity at all!"

The victims exclaimed in praise.

"Brother Lin Ke, let me help you!" Wang Huaiyuan appeared from somewhere, ran to Lin Ke, and snatched the brick from his hand.

"You kid, why are you here to join in the fun instead of studying hard?" Lin Ke scolded with a smile.

"Brother Lin Ke, please let me stay and help! I'm very strong and can do a lot of work!" Wang Huaiyuan said pleadingly.

"No, your current task is to study hard, become a pillar of the country in the future, and make greater contributions to society!" Lin Ke said in a serious tone, "We adults will take care of the post-disaster reconstruction, so don't worry about it."

"But..." Wang Huaiyuan wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lin Ke.

"It's nothing, be obedient and go back to study hard!" Lin Ke said, pushing Wang Huaiyuan to Wang Xinxin's side, "Xinxin, help me send him back and don't let him run around anymore."

"Okay." Wang Xinxin agreed reluctantly and pulled Wang Huaiyuan away with a reluctant look on his face.

"Lin Ke, have you really decided to let Wang Huaiyuan go back to school?" Wang Xinxin asked, "He really wants to stay and help."

"I know, but studying is more important." Lin Ke looked at Wang Huai's back as he walked away, and said firmly, "He is still a child and should not bear these responsibilities too early. I hope he can change his destiny through studying and make greater contributions to society in the future."

"You're right." Wang Xinxin nodded in agreement.

"Okay, you can go back too, things here are almost done." Lin Ke said. "Okay." Wang Xinxin responded and left the disaster area with Wang Huaiyuan.

Half a month later, the disaster area had been completely transformed.

Brand new houses are rising from the ground, flat roads are crisscrossing, children are playing happily in the newly built playgrounds, and hope and vitality are everywhere.

"Mr. Lin, thank you so much! If it weren't for you, we don't know how we would survive!" A white-haired old lady took Lin Ke's hand and said excitedly, tears flashing in her turbid eyes.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, you are really our benefactor!"

"We will never forget your kindness in our lifetime!"

The surrounding disaster victims gathered around and expressed their gratitude to Lin Ke.

Looking at those weather-beaten but hopeful faces, Lin Ke felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"My fellow villagers, you are all too polite. This is what I should do." Lin Ke said modestly, "Now that my home has been rebuilt, I feel relieved."

"Mr. Lin, you have helped us so much, we don't know how to thank you!" said a middle-aged man.

"Yes, Mr. Lin, just stay and let us entertain you for a few days!"

The victims tried to persuade him to stay.

Lin Ke smiled and shook his head. "I appreciate the kindness of the villagers, but I still have work to do and cannot stay for long."

The car slowly drove away from the disaster area. Lin Ke looked back and saw the victims still standing there, watching them leave, their eyes full of gratitude and reluctance.

"Goodbye, fellow villagers!" Lin Ke said silently in his heart.

Returning to his long-lost home, Lin Ke suddenly felt relaxed and comfortable.

"It's still more comfortable at home!" Lin Ke stretched and said.

During this period of time, he has been running around in the disaster area and has little time to rest. Now he can finally relax.

"Jingle Bell……"

A rapid phone call interrupted Lin Ke's thoughts.

Lin Ke picked up the phone and saw that it was his agent Li Feng calling.

"Hello, Brother Feng, what's the matter?" Lin Ke answered the phone and asked in a relaxed tone.

"My dear Master Lin, are you still in the mood to rest? Come back here quickly, the crew is waiting for you to start work!" Li Feng's disappointed voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Crew? What crew?" Lin Ke didn't react for a moment.

"What other crew could it be? Of course it's "The Great Chang'an"! You wouldn't have forgotten about this, right?" Li Feng's voice rose eight octaves.

"'Prosperity of Chang'an'? Wait, didn't they say that I could join the crew of this drama after I came back from the disaster area?" Lin Ke then remembered that there was indeed a big costume drama that had contacted him before, but then the earthquake happened and he forgot about it.

"We agreed to wait for you to come back before joining the crew, but now half a month has passed and you just disappeared without saying a word. Do you know what the situation is on the crew now? The director is going crazy!" Li Feng's tone was full of helplessness.

"Brother Feng, you know, I have been helping in the disaster area for some time and I really don’t have time to take care of other things." Lin Ke explained.

"I know, I know, I know everything you've done, the media has reported it, you're now a national hero, a great man!" Li Feng's tone was a little teasing, "But you can't just be a hero and forget about your work! This "Prosperity of Chang'an" is the biggest IP drama this year, with huge investment and a strong cast. If you miss it, you'll lose a lot!"
