Most drivers would release limited edition commemorative figurines and clothing, which is also one of the ways some drivers earn money.
In his previous life, Lin Yan was also good at using this to earn some extra income, and doing so could also increase fan cohesion.
Although Lin Yan's annual salary in his previous life could reach around fifty million Huaxia coins, this salary was not much for a world-class sports superstar. Some celebrities earned more than him in a year.
Moreover, this was the annual salary of a seven-time champion, which could be said to be the highest salary in this industry. Furthermore, professional drivers do not have many years to earn money. As they get older, their performance declines, and their salaries will also decrease accordingly.
Therefore, as long as it is morally permissible, they will also earn money through other means, so making money is not shameful.
However, this T-shirt was clearly made by Lin Guoxiong and Zhang Mingzhi. Lin Yan himself was not aware of it.
Most sports stars' salaries are not very high. Lin Yan remembered that in his previous life, the lowest annual salary among GP drivers was only 2.4 million Ou, which is equivalent to about sixteen million Huaxia coins. After tax, it was less than eight million.
Is this very high? An annual salary of eight million for a top driver in their prime is equivalent to a bargain price. Lin Yan remembered that it was a driver from a developed Western country.
That country spared no effort to produce such a driver in the highest category, but his annual salary was not even as high as that of a popular celebrity in the country.
To be honest, it was a bit ridiculous. When this driver retired, all his scars were not worth this price.
Motorsports are always accompanied by injuries, let alone the high-risk industry of motorcycles.
"Yan Ge, how about we watch this one?"
Su Mojin pointed to a name on the billboard. Lin Yan looked at it. Judging by the name, it seemed to be a romance drama. Lin Yan actually didn't like romance dramas very much.
But when accompanying his girlfriend to watch a movie, one shouldn't be too critical; as long as his girlfriend likes it.
"Okay, let's watch this one then."
After the two of them decided, they went to the cinema counter to buy tickets and bought some snacks.
Su Mojin originally intended to pay, but she forgot about Li Wei, Yang Tianming, and the other five people behind her.
The seven of them together would cost over six hundred yuan. Su Mojin, who was originally very happy, flipped through her small wallet and suddenly realized she couldn't afford it.
It wasn't that she didn't have money; she still had over a thousand yuan in her bag, but this was the living expenses she had saved during her stay at the hospital. She wanted to save this money to buy Lin Yan a birthday gift.
Suddenly, Su Mojin's gaze dimmed. Even though she had tried her best to control this emotion, she still felt a sense of inferiority.
A sense of inferiority born from love.
Seafood hot pot for a thousand yuan, a dress for over eighty thousand yuan, a Cartier necklace – without Lin Yan, she might never have encountered these things in her life.
She was just a poor girl, and Lin Yan was a group's young master with a net worth of hundreds of billions. They were people from two different worlds. Perhaps people from two different worlds should not be together.
It was like Cinderella was always Cinderella; even if she wore crystal slippers, she could not become a princess.
Lin Yan sensed something was wrong and tightly held Su Mojin's hand, wanting to give her a sense of security in this way.
Sensing something was amiss, Lin Yan gave Li Wei a look and pulled Su Mojin into the cinema hall first.
Li Wei understood. After they entered, he took out his phone and paid the money, then picked up the half-bought items.
As the two entered the cinema hall, the lights dimmed.
When Su Mojin was feeling a bit inferior and sensitive, Lin Yan suddenly hugged her.
Su Mojin hadn't fully reacted yet when Lin Yan bent down, resting his head on Su Mojin's shoulder.
His strong hands cupped the back of Su Mojin's head. In the dim light around them, Lin Yan held her tightly, as if wanting to merge her into his body.
"Xiao Jin, listen to me. My family won't care about your background, and neither will I!"
Lin Yan's voice was low and magnetic. Su Mojin could feel the warm air blowing by her ear, tickling her, which was caused by Lin Yan speaking.
Feeling Lin Yan's steady breathing, Su Mojin's heart gradually calmed down. Regardless of what happened in the future, at least their current development was going in a good direction.
At least he likes me, and I like him. She could feel the sincerity in Lin Yan's words, not sweet talk, but more like a promise.
He held her until Li Wei and the others came in. Su Mojin adjusted her state before slowly letting go of Lin Yan.
In fact, if she didn't let go, Lin Yan's hunched back would have become sore. This hug lasted for more than ten minutes.
Since they had just eaten, Li Wei didn't buy much food, so he bought a few more buckets of popcorn and a few bottles of water.
Feeling that Su Mojin's emotions had stabilized, Lin Yan's heart was put at ease. After entering and finding their seats, they sat down. Lin Yan glanced around; almost all the seats were occupied by couples.
At their seats, Lin Yan lifted the partition between his and Su Mojin's seats, gently wrapped his arm around Su Mojin's shoulder, and drew her into his embrace.
Su Mojin also leaned towards Lin Yan. In the glow of the lights, Lin Yan saw a mist forming in Su Mojin's eyes. Lin Yan affectionately held her tightly.
If he had known earlier, he should have insisted on paying the money himself, even if it meant making Li Wei and the others wait outside.
"Yan Ge, I want to eat popcorn."
The movie hadn't started yet, and the screen was still hazy.
Leaning in Lin Yan's arms, Su Mojin looked up at Lin Yan, blinked her eyes. Lin Yan reached out to Li Wei, who was sitting next to him.
Li Wei immediately handed over the popcorn bucket, but for some reason, he suddenly saw a hint of blame in his young master's eyes.
After handing over the popcorn, Li Wei scratched his head. He thought he had understood the young master's glances and actions correctly. Could it be that the popcorn flavor was wrong?
Li Wei looked down at the buckets of popcorn in the bag. Besides the two buckets Lin Yan and Su Mojin had bought earlier, he had bought two more: one milk-flavored and one cantaloupe-flavored.
He had specifically bought the cantaloupe flavor. He hadn't made any mistakes.
Logically speaking, he had followed the young master to date so many girls and had made mistakes only a few times. The most recent one was half a month ago.
The young master said he wanted to eat, and he drove the car to a club.
