Chapter 219 I'm Willing to Do Anything
Min Xianyi, with red eyes and tears still falling, saw Zheng Xiuheng's gentle look and reached out her hand involuntarily. Because she could feel the warmth from Zheng Xiuheng, she held those big hands tightly.
"Relationships between people are very complicated. I'm not a very sympathetic person, but I still like you. Let's put it this way. If there are any high-quality trainees who want to leave JYP in the future, you can introduce them to me. For each trainee who passes the assessment, I will pay you 500,000. Although it's not much, it can be regarded as a part-time job as a scout. Don't refuse. This is the only thing you can do now, and you must do it."
After Zheng Xiuheng finished speaking, he sighed in his heart, feeling helpless about his increasingly realistic attitude. However, taking advantage of the situation like this could not be considered simply taking advantage.
Min Xianyi stared at Zheng Xiuheng blankly, her eyes slowly becoming gentle as water, because the tears were still falling, and she was extremely moved at this moment.
If Zheng Xiuheng asked her to poach trainees directly, she would not do it. After all, such a thing would be a "death" matter once it was exposed. But Min Xianyi didn't think that the trainees who had quit the company or were preparing to quit were worth half a million, no matter what the reason was. Half a million was her monthly salary for part-time work, of course, when she was not working full time, but it was still a lot.
In Min Xianyi's opinion, Zheng Xiuheng wanted to help her, but was afraid of hurting her self-esteem, so he said that.
Feeling the warmth of Zheng Xiuheng's helping hand, the image of the man in front of him kept rising.
Zheng Xiuheng didn't know so much, but when he was about to say something, Min Xianyi suddenly rushed over and leaned on Zheng Xiuheng's shoulder. Min Xianyi burst into tears, and her sadness and hardship were all self-evident, especially the little hand that tightly grasped Zheng Xiuheng's shoulder, which seemed a little emotional.
Zheng Xiuheng shook his head helplessly and patted her head. He was not embarrassed at all, but felt helpless. He really didn't know why so many people would choose to stick to this path regardless of everything. Although Min Xianyi's persistence is admirable, Zheng Xiuheng felt that this kind of persistence is nothing but admiration. Although it is worth being happy to be able to stick to the debut, the things that are lost can never be found again, whether it is time, innocence, or youth.
Perhaps all strong people are also equally fragile.
After a while, Min Xianyi finally stopped crying, and her hands that were grabbing Zheng Xiuheng's shoulders softened.
Zheng Xiuheng will not do anything for a sad person. Even if Min Xianyi's story is indeed heartbreaking, it does not mean that Zheng Xiuheng must pay for those who have worked hard. So it is better to turn the relationship between the two into a transaction, so that there is no need to spend time to improve the relationship between the two.
Min Xianyi let go of Zheng Xiuheng and sat back in her original position. Seeing Zheng Xiuheng smiling, she felt warm in her heart. At this moment, she really thought that Zheng Xiuheng was too good to be willing to help someone who could not even be called a friend. In fact, she did need money, very much, to bear the burden of supporting her family. But the current situation is that if she leaves JYP and gives up the path of being an artist, it may be more difficult. To be frank, she will definitely not see a future in at least three to five years. Debuting now can give her a chance, but it will also result in a high probability of no income in one or two years.
The so-called self-esteem is never as real as reality.
Seeing Min Xianyi's expression that seemed to be both happy and worried and who hadn't spoken for a long time, Zheng Xiuheng was a little curious. He thought that she was struggling with whether she should agree to him.
At this time, Min Xianyi turned her head with a red face and looked at Zheng Xiuheng, and then thought weakly: "Senior, do you want to... support me?"
This was Min Xianyi's last bit of doubt. After all, she was indeed touched that Zheng Xiuheng was willing to help him in this way, but she also didn't quite understand it. In addition, she was a very sensitive person at heart, so she couldn't help but think this way.
Five hundred thousand to recruit one person is actually a lot, but Min Xianyi temporarily ignored the fact that not every trainee quits, not every trainee is talented, and not everyone will accept her recommendation.
It’s just that Min Xianyi is really sensitive about money. As an only daughter, and considering her family’s situation, she does feel that the price is too high, so she thinks this way. Of course, there is another reason, which is Zheng Xiuheng and Kim Hyun-a.
Min Xianyi knew very well how the two met, and she also had some doubts about their relationship, especially on Valentine's Day, when Hyun-Ah took the gift out and didn't come back until the early morning. Even if she didn't guess, Min Xianyi knew who Kim Hyun-Ah would give the gift to. Now Kim Hyun-Ah has moved to Zheng Xiuheng's house. She couldn't think about it simply, so she had such thoughts.
But Min Xianyi thought about it for a long time, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. Although the two of them occasionally contacted each other by text message, they did not have too deep communication. Thinking about it seriously at this moment, Min Xianyi felt that he did not seem to have shown anything to attract Zheng Xiuheng, which meant that Zheng Xiuheng's desire to support him was simply untenable. Maybe he felt sorry for him and wanted to help him.
"Senior, are you pitying me?"
Zheng Xiuheng was stunned by the question. At this moment, he realized that this girl was so sensitive. Thinking about what she said about Kim Hyun-ah before, he completely understood. However, Zheng Xiuheng was a little speechless. Although he did it for himself, it was not an advantage to turn it into a transaction in the end. After all, he did not ask Min Xianyi to help him poach people directly. However, Min Xianyi's question at this moment made Zheng Xiuheng helpless.
"Poor? I should say understanding. This should help you take on some of the responsibilities of a parent before you make money. You won't refuse me, right?" Zheng Xiuheng replied with a smile.
It does seem like taking advantage of someone's misfortune, but Zheng Xiuheng does want to help, and hopes that Min Xianyi can help him, because he really understands what Min Xianyi wants to take on.
Min Xianyi was startled when he heard this, and a more touched expression appeared on his face, thinking to himself: "Senior is really a good person."
Looking at Zheng Xiuheng's smiling face, Min Xianyi had a lot of thoughts in her mind. Zheng Xiuheng was her ideal type, a man who could give her a sense of security and attract her to get close to him. You could also say that she liked him, a very simple liking, which was a very common feeling without any other things mixed in. If she could really date Zheng Xiuheng, she might be entangled because of work, but in the end, she might really agree.
But compared to the invitation to date, Zheng Xiuheng's help touched her more. Because Min Xianyi's current dream is not to become a superstar, but to make money to support the family and take on the responsibility of a parent, so Zheng Xiuheng's proposal and answer not only touched her...
Zheng Xiuheng looked at Min Xianyi who was lost in thought again, turned his head to look at the sky outside the car window, and lamented the strangeness of fate. Why do so many trainees have such helpless families?
Originally, Zheng Xiuheng didn't want to befriend Min Xianyi very much, but at this moment, Zheng Xiuheng changed his mind decisively. It may also be that he has a deeper understanding of the entertainment industry in recent times. He may not have other insights, but there is one thing Zheng Xiuheng is very sure of.
In this circle, except for a few who truly possess great abilities, few are kind sheep. Maybe not all of them are bad people, but they are definitely black-hearted businessmen.
Producers like the Big Three who only have talent are just like that after so many years of running their companies.
Although it is just an attitude, Zheng Xiuheng has completely accepted this concept in the past few days, so why not use some tricks to poach people and help Min Xianyi at the same time?
The two of them sat there for half an hour. Zheng Xiuheng simply turned off the lights to avoid unnecessary trouble. The car was completely dark, with only the sound of their breathing.
"Senior, will you really help me take on the responsibility of a parent?"
Finally Min Xianyi spoke...
Zheng Xiuheng fully felt the strong desire in her heart.
"Of course!" Zheng Xiuheng replied seriously, without reversing what he said. At this moment, Zheng Xiuheng also felt that his heart was growing rapidly. After all, reality is not a fairy tale. Only by giving up the fairy-tale idea can he go against the current.
Min Xianyi also has many insights of her own, but nothing can compare to the importance of her family. She doesn't know what the future will be like, but if it is a senior she likes, or a senior who understands her heart and is willing to help her, she has no rejection. Thinking of her father and grandmother, and the thought of becoming a parent before really making money, Min Xianyi's heart seems to be on fire.
There is simply no one in this world who is willing to help me, not even JYP, nor President Park Jin-young, nor those friends and relatives I have not seen for a long time. I think of my grandmother who has always been with me through every important exam in the past few years, and my father who always goes to work with a tired body and a pale face.
She looked up and saw the man leaning against the seat and relaxing, looking at the sky outside the car window. His calm and casual look made him look so attractive at this moment. She believed that Zheng Xiuheng would do what he said, but she didn't believe that her relationship with Zheng Xiuheng would allow him to help her all the time.
In fact, among the girls Zheng Xiuheng knew, whether it was Park Ji-yeon, Kim Hyun-a, or his own sisters, they might have their own pain and sadness, but they did not reach the extreme, or that extreme was very short.
But Min Xianyi is different. In fact, Zheng Xiuheng did not feel Min Xianyi's heart that was about to go crazy and collapse from her narration. No matter who it is, watching his loved ones suffer from pain because of him, and even the doctor judged that he would not live long if he continued like this, but he was powerless to do anything. It can be said that every time he sees his father and grandmother, it is a torture for Min Xianyi.
Min Xianyi had thought countless times that if he didn't become a trainee and went out to work after graduating from high school, he would be able to share the family pressure, and his father wouldn't have to work so hard.
The most despairing thing is that no one has ever reached out to her. Although the members are very nice, they don’t understand her situation at all. Even if they do, what can these young girls do?
The president knew about his family's situation. Apart from giving him several million in signing bonus when signing the contract, what he said most was that everything would be fine once he made his debut.
Haha, who wouldn't say something like this...
The invisible pressure has been strangling Min Xianyi's neck, making her feel as if she is about to suffocate, but even so, she has to appear calm and occasionally cheerful. This is a torture to her heart. That kind of pain is like the extreme physical pain that Zheng Xiuheng had ever felt, while Min Xianyi's is a mental and spiritual pain.
Therefore, the big hand that Zheng Xiuheng extended, no matter what its meaning was, went straight into the deepest part of Min Xianyi's heart. In addition, Zheng Xiuheng's willingness to help her, even if it was pitiful, was enough to move her to the point of being speechless.
In this way, Min Xianyi's rationality has completely collapsed, or he has wanted to throw everything away. What does it matter if he gives up everything for the real dream.
"I'll do anything!"
