The first day of Coachella ended, and Chen Yiran didn't go back to the venue. Mainly because she wasn't really interested in the remaining lineup, she simply took a nap after dinner.

When Lily returned home that evening, seeing Chen Yiran full of energy, she didn't have any suspicions.

Although she sensed that Chen Yiran's mood was a bit strange, she assumed it was for some other reason.

The next day, Chen Yiran still went with Lili. After meeting up with the others, they went to the main stage for a while.

Chen Yiran is a novice and a bit of a jerk; he's not very experienced. He had no problem communicating with the group, but he couldn't help looking around whenever Olsen spoke.

Young actors, especially those who specifically seek out private tutors, may be limited by their natural talent and not improve their acting skills much. However, their ability to discern acting abilities is extremely strong; Chen Yiran's actions immediately alerted everyone to something amiss.

The clever ones immediately understood, but none of the girls called it out. Some of them were even secretly pleased, as this proved that Chen Yiran's egg had a crack, which could be pricked.

Some people become actors simply to make money; aside from the entertainment industry, they can't find any other way to get rich after graduating from high school.

If I were to get involved with Chen Yiran, and maybe even have a child, I could solve my livelihood problem for life by the time I'm 20.

Then the scene became a bit strange. Several girls started hanging around Chen Yiran. Lily was a bit slow-witted, but she also realized what was happening. However, she couldn't stop the overwhelming public opinion and could only stand on the side with a cold face.

Olsen didn't push forward. This morning, she had already started buying Tesla shares with Chen Yiran, following his advice. If she lost money, Chen Yiran would treat her very well. If she made money, she would instantly become a stock market genius, achieving success like her older sisters.

Chen Yiran enjoyed being the center of attention. Although it was a bit of a pity that things seemed to be over between her and Lily, she could see it from another perspective. Lily had come to San Francisco to film a movie and recharge, and she would definitely have to go back to Los Angeles in another month.

Consider it a way of decluttering in advance; it's normal for young people to do this.

After lunch, Chen Yiran took everyone to see a performance by Foster the People. Lily simply made an excuse, saying she wasn't feeling well and had to go back to the hotel first.

Chen Yiran hesitated for a moment, then decided not to go back with them and insisted on going to see the performance instead.

This group hasn't become popular yet, and based on Jasmine's feedback, it probably won't become popular later on.

But the song "Pumped Up Kicks" is really good. The live version was also great; the singer held up perfectly, without a single mishap.

Chen Yiran took a picture of the scene and then started promoting the song on Twitter.

Unfortunately, the subsequent performances became rather uninteresting, but since she was already there, Chen Yiran stayed on the main stage and watched Kanye West's performance before returning to the hotel.

On the way, Nuno whispered to him, "Boss, um, Miss Lily said she wasn't feeling well this afternoon and didn't want to watch the show anymore, so she just packed her bags and left. You were having fun all afternoon, so I didn't tell you."

Chen Yiran sighed, feeling that he was indeed a bit of a scumbag, especially since it was Lily's first time.

Suppressing her guilt, Chen Yiran sent Olsen a text message, asking if she wanted to come over that evening.

Olsen replied with a shocked emoji, then sent a chart of Tesla's holdings. He then called and whispered, "Lily, you actually agreed to this? I can't, I can't accept it. Did you see this holding? If it really goes up fiftyfold, then I'll agree."

"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm such a jerk? Lily got angry and just dumped me. My heart is broken, and I need comforting."

"Okay, I'll be there in a bit. Send me the address."

"No need, I'll send someone to pick you up."

[Hehe (¯ㅿ¯;), what a scumbag, what a scumbag.]

Ignoring Jasmine, Chen Yiran glanced at Nuno in front of her and suddenly asked, "Do you know why you were assigned here?"

Nuno replied in a very formulaic manner, "The company matches clients based on their needs. Our team's characteristics definitely better suit your requirements. Are you satisfied with our service?"

"Very satisfied. Speaking of which, your line of work is really lucrative, three thousand dollars a day."

"It's not bad. Although the company takes a small cut, there's still a lot left. But money doesn't last forever."

Chen Yiran didn't respond; he knew Nuno was about to start playing the victim.

Nuno sighed and said, "Sigh, I'm a single father. My wife passed away from illness. I'm raising five children alone, two of whom are in college and the other three are almost there. The pressure is immense."

The driver next to him sighed, perfectly fitting the situation. Nuno immediately began to explain: "Mike's situation is also so-so. It's also about his children. He has three children, one of whom is currently in medical school. He can't bear to see his children burdened with loans, so he can only work hard. Most of our team members are from families that need money."

This is why Chen Yiran chose this team. Although GDBA is a security company, its own network security is not very good, or rather, most companies these days do not have the concept of internal and external network isolation.

In fact, Nuno's team was a team that Chen Yiran carefully selected. When he communicated with GDBA, the requirements he made were almost exactly based on those of this team.

First of all, this team is very different from traditional bodyguard teams. Since they are just accompanying clients, they generally don't interact with the clients much and may even deliberately put on a cold face to highlight their professionalism and get high praise.

Nuno's team is known for their attentiveness, never being cold-faced, and always providing smiling service. They are committed to making customers feel comfortable and happy, so that they will tip them.

This approach is actually unpopular with senior management, since improving customer satisfaction through high emotional intelligence can't be trained. Using a cold demeanor to enhance professionalism is much easier to train. But Nuno doesn't care about senior management's opinions; after all, it's about making money, nothing to be ashamed of.

Secondly, as the captain, Nuno deliberately chose people like him who have high emotional intelligence, whose families need to support multiple children to go to university, and who need money.

These people are all very capable, and the reason they didn't become permanent bodyguards is because they don't want to leave home and often want to spend time with their children.

This was no problem for Chen Yiran; he had gone to great lengths for his safety. He had already bought four houses near his home. Don't want to leave your family? Then I can provide accommodation.

"Let's meet privately when we get back to Silicon Valley. I'd like to hire you as private bodyguards. I know you have a lot of requirements, but we can discuss them in detail then."

Nuno was actually reluctant to agree, because he felt the deal was unlikely to go through, but he still said very enthusiastically, "Thank you, we've wanted to be your regular bodyguards for a long time, but our family situations are all quite complicated. Let's discuss it in detail when we get back to San Francisco."

As they were talking, the car arrived at the villa. Chen Yiran got out and asked them to send a car to pick up Olsen, then went inside to wait.

That night, Olsen stayed at Chen Yiran's place.

The next morning, the two even went to the music festival hand in hand, earning Olsen countless eye rolls.

Chen Yiran ignored all of that because he had seen his primary goal in coming to the music festival.

Fair-skinned, beautiful, big-breasted, and blue-eyed—a perfect match.

Alexandra Daddario.

This woman's face is stunning as long as she doesn't make any big expressions, and her figure is also top-notch.

Damn it, but I have to leave right now.

Sure enough, just after greeting the newcomers, Chen Yiran's phone rang.

Gao Dewei's voice sounded anxious: "Boss, do you need to come back and help? The system is reporting an error, but we can't figure out the problem. We were supposed to update it in two weeks, but if we can't fix it, we'll have to postpone it."

"Don't panic, I'll be right back. With me here, there won't be any problems."

Chen Yiran addressed the group, saying, "What a disappointment! I can't join you all anymore. I have to go back to the company. Let's exchange contact information? Maybe we can hang out again sometime?"

D'Addario didn't actually know who Chen Yiran was. He was listening to the gossip from his friend who had been there for two days when Chen Yiran stood in front of him and took the phone away.

Olsen didn't say anything, but he took Chen Yiran to the parking lot, kissed him, and said, "I've figured it out. You're such a jerk, but I don't really care. I'll come to Silicon Valley to see you in a couple of days."

"Okay, if you don't care, it would be even better if we could lure that Daddario over here."

Having successfully earned a glare from Chen Yiran, he got into his car and started editing his tweet. He posted a photo of the car in motion, along with the caption: "Being a tycoon isn't so easy. I was halfway through the music festival when I got some bad news from the company. My subordinates were able to stay until the end, but I, the boss, had to go back immediately to deal with it."

After sending the message, Chen Yiran began waiting for Amit's call.
