Chapter 27 Zheng Shouheng
Looking at the girl who raised her right hand towards his face, Zheng Xiuheng didn't understand what she was doing. But when her hand was clearly in front of him and moving towards his glasses, Zheng Xiuheng instinctively reached out and slapped it.
“Bang!”
He opened Kim Taeyeon's palm at once, and the sound made the other four girls look at the situation here in some astonishment, while Kim Taeyeon looked at Zheng Xiuheng with some persistence, as if she wanted to see through his face under his glasses, which seemed a bit strange, and according to Koreans, very impolite.
Zheng Xiuheng didn't understand where this little girl had seen him before, but he still replied calmly: "I haven't seen you before, so you must have recognized the wrong person!"
" No, I must have seen you before. I won't make a mistake!" Kim Taeyeon said seriously. Huang Miying on the side hurriedly walked up and looked at her in surprise. This was a rare time for her to see Taeyeon so serious, and towards a strange man.
"Brother, do you know Taeyeon unni?" Krystal ran over and asked curiously.
Huang Miying seemed to have discovered something and asked in surprise: "Xiujing, is this Oppa your brother?"
"Neighbor brother, but Soo-yeon doesn't really like other people interacting with Soo-jung, so I hope you don't tell her about our trip to the amusement park!"
"Oh, I see. Don't worry, we will keep it a secret. But neighbor oppa, you haven't introduced yourself yet. My name is Huang Miying, this is Kim Taeyeon, and this little girl is Li Huanxi. We are all trainees of SM. I'm very happy to meet my neighbor oppa. I wonder what I should call my neighbor oppa?" Huang Miying introduced herself cheerfully and asked about Zheng Xiuheng's name.
Zheng Xiuheng judged from the girl's surprise and her not-so-standard Korean that she probably didn't grow up in Korea, but it didn't matter to him, so he smiled and replied: "My name is Zheng Xiuheng!"
"Hmm? Is it... Shou?" Although Huang Miying's Korean was not very good, it was only relatively speaking. She had no problem with ordinary communication, common terms, and spelling of Korean characters. So after hearing Zheng Xiuheng's answer, although she thought of Zheng Xiuheng, she suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she spelled it again and recalled the meaning of Korean characters, and then she thought of the word Shou which means to guard.
The structure of Korean characters is indeed very simple, and Koreans are not exaggerating. But it is precisely because it is too simple, so simple that one Korean character has N corresponding meanings, that even Koreans themselves often get it wrong. If you look at the Korean characters alone, they are so simple that it is impossible to remember them. Instead, it is foreign words, such as Chinese words and English words, that support the overall structure of the Korean language.
Zheng Xiuheng nodded and smiled: "Very smart!"
But it was obvious that Zheng Xiujing was very angry because of Zheng Xiuheng's words. Her little hands tightly grasped Zheng Xiuheng, and her nails scratched the back of his hand a little hard.
"Zheng Shouheng...Ah, I remember, I've seen you, I've seen you in a western restaurant!" Kim Taeyeon suddenly remembered something because of the name, and then shouted with some surprise.
He looked like he had won the lottery, and everyone else was surprised. Krystal even forgot to be angry. How did this bring up the Western restaurant again?
However, Zheng Xiuheng looked at Jin Taiyan in surprise. He had seen him in a western restaurant, which meant...
"You are the pianist in the western restaurant. I remember I heard your original song a year ago when the teacher invited me to western food for the first time. The teacher also wanted to meet you, but you left after playing three songs. I never saw you there again when I went there again. Am I right?" Kim Taeyeon said with anticipation, and the look in her eyes as she looked at Zheng Xiuheng was flashing with an indescribable light.
"Western restaurant, pianist?" Zheng Xiujing looked up at her brother in confusion. What was going on? Why didn't her brother tell her?
Pianist?
Zheng Xiuheng suddenly felt like laughing. It sounded like a sarcastic name, even though Kim Taeyeon meant well.
Actually, this is not surprising. The reason for playing in a Western restaurant is simple... to make money.
Don't think that Zheng Xiuheng's money was given by Zheng Qilong and earned from Sanlong Cave. The mafia is not a charity organization, and Zheng Qilong would never really give Zheng Xiuheng the opportunity to make money. If it were another boxer, he would have earned 2 billion, not to mention 200 million, in two years.
In order to earn money to provide living expenses for his sisters and make their lives better, Zheng Xiuheng spent at least 80% of his time working, apart from the time he spent with Zheng Qilong. He has done many part-time jobs.
He did whatever could make more money. Playing the piano in a western restaurant was just a good job because the price was more affordable. However, Zheng Xiuheng found a new job not long after he started playing.
In addition, Zheng Xiuheng has also worked in dangerous part-time jobs with high hourly wages, such as the dangerous job of cleaning the exterior glass of the Liusan Building, and manual labor jobs like moving bricks.
At the same time, he also worked as a personal fitness instructor. As long as he had free time, Zheng Xiuheng would not give up the opportunity to make money. Therefore, just by working part-time, Zheng Xiuheng earned a staggering 100 million won in two years, and this was earned from part-time work.
Of course, it is undeniable that part of it was the generous help of others. When he was a personal trainer, his targets were all wealthy people. Although they were not upper-class people, they still had money.
On the other hand, when Zheng Xiuheng was working hard, he could do the work of five or even more people, and a lot of this money was earned through sweat.
The 70 million that was given to Zheng Xiujing was the remaining money from his part-time job. As for the other 30 million, Zheng Xiuheng probably used 10 million for his own living, and the rest was remitted to his sisters. As Zheng Xiuyan did not accept his kindness and insisted on doing part-time work, Zheng Xiuheng had no choice but to find the boss and take in Zheng Xiuyan as a part-time worker with an abnormally high salary. Because the fried chicken restaurants where she worked part-time knew a little bit about the situation, they all spoke in unison when talking about the salary, and nothing has been exposed until now.
"Can you teach me to play the piano?" Kim Taeyeon finally expressed the strong desire she had when she first saw Jung Soo-hyung playing. Although it was a year late, the person in question was now in front of her. This might be fate. The beautiful melody with a hint of sadness, but unexpectedly healing, Kim Taeyeon would think about it in her mind every day because she didn't want to forget it and because she liked it very much.
“Unfortunately, I no longer play the piano!”
"Uncle Yuan, do we really have to listen to that guy Zheng Xiuheng?"
Lin Dazhong, who walked out of the hospital with Li Zaiyuan, couldn't help but ask. As a young man in his twenties, he was the least mature one among the three.
Lee Jae-won's head was wrapped in a thick bandage, with a slight concussion and bone fracture. Although the hospital recommended hospitalization and rest for two days, Lee Jae-won did not have the spare money.
"Dazhong, I think you should go home. You are only 20 years old. If you work hard and study for two years after you go back, you may still be able to get into college. Guanglu and I have no choice because we are old, but you don't!" Li Jae-won did not answer Lin Dazhong's question, but spoke to him earnestly, which made everyone's face look more pale.
When Lin Dazhong heard this, his face suddenly turned gloomy and he looked a little angry.
"What's the point of going back to a home like that? My mom is gone. If I see that drunkard, I will want to kill him!"
The handsome face turned a little hideous and looked extremely angry.
Li Zaiyuan sighed, reached out and patted his shoulder, then changed the subject and said, "Then don't go back, but don't stay in the Hundong Sect in the future. No one in the Hundong Sect knows when they will be chopped down on the street or arrested in the detention room. As for your question just now, it's actually easy to answer, because we have no choice now!"
"But, Zheng Xiuheng doesn't seem like a good backer, right?" Lin Dazhong also restrained his emotions and asked seriously.
Li Zaiyuan nodded, but explained: "Zheng Xiuheng is indeed not a good backer, but that is relative to people like Zheng Qilong. But if the target is the remnants of the current defeated army in the Dong faction, then he is like a tiger. And he is different from others. Many people don’t know why they are in the world, but he knows his goal very well and he also knows what he should do. If everything he said today is true, following him is indeed the best choice. At least there is a chance to make your life better, and you may also make money!"
Li Zaiyuan's thinking is very clear, because Zheng Xiuheng is not really a gangster, what he sees, needs, and does cannot be the real gangster's fighting and killing, fighting for territory, collecting protection fees, etc. Just like Zheng Xiuheng said, they have no choice, the other two are still a little confused, but Li Zaiyuan knows that people like them who are at the bottom of society, even mud in the eyes of the public, can only have a little hope of making their lives better by selling their labor and working hard all their lives.
And now only Zheng Xiuheng seems to be a hope.
Lin Dazhong fell silent and thought carefully about what Uncle Li Zaiyuan said. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.
