Chapter 81 The Current Situation of Borrowers
"Brother Xiaole died, and a big part of the reason was because of me. I couldn't pay back what I owed, so I paid some interest!"
In fact, if the murderer had met the real Zheng Xiuheng, he would have been dead. It seems that Li Xiaole died innocently and undeservingly, and Zheng Xiuheng should not have to bear so much.
But in fact, such things cannot be considered solely with the use of force. To put it bluntly, if the killer cannot kill you, and he has power, he will call the police or set a trap to use the "law" to deal with you. What can Zheng Xiuheng do then?
Zheng Xiuheng is not obsessed with revenge, but Zheng Qilong's actions caused Li Xiaole's death, but he actually benefited from it. Even if there is a new black face, people behind him will only think that he is another person introduced by Zheng Qilong. In addition, after Li Xiaole's death, that action was the first competition, which really solved some of Zheng Xiuheng's worries.
What Zheng Xiuheng cares about most is that perhaps Li Xiaole has always known about this, but did not say it out or leave Seoul. This is why Zheng Xiuheng truly feels guilty, grateful, and obsessed with revenge.
It is impossible for you to help someone kill someone just because he helped you up when you fell, but if he really saved your life, Zheng Xiuheng would definitely not ignore it.
"What!"
Liu Xilie stood up again, his face became a little panicked, and his eyes revealed an expression of disbelief. He thought of many reasons. He originally thought that Zheng Xiuheng gave up music to make money. There are many examples of people giving up their dreams because of reality in this world. This is not impossible.
But today he knew that Zheng Xiuheng was rich, and it was obviously not because of money, so he asked about it, but he didn't expect to get such an answer.
"Sit down, Uncle Liu. You don't need to persuade me. Besides, I don't want to discuss this topic anymore. I know what I'm doing. Can we discuss the issue of investing in the antenna now?"
Zheng Xiuheng said this calmly, his eyes did not convey any pain or much fluctuation, at this moment he was as calm as water.
Liu Xilie suddenly seemed to have no strength, and sat down softly, his eyes became a little sad and complicated. In fact, Li Xiaole had more contact with him than Zheng Xiuheng, but the difference was that one was extremely talented and the other was only slightly talented, so the relationship with Li Xiaole was like that of a teacher and a student, but with Zheng Xiuheng it was more natural, like a friend, people always prefer the so-called genius.
But if we really talk about the relationship, Yoo Hee-yeol and Li Xiaole actually had better contact , and hearing the news of his death was a big blow to them.
"Sorry, let me take a break!" Liu Xilie said in a low voice, and it seemed that he would not be able to recover in a short time.
“Beep, beep, beep!”
Zheng Xiuheng's phone rang, he took out his phone and answered it, then asked calmly, "What's the matter?"
Jin Guanglu, who was on the other end of the phone, said a little excitedly: "Boss, something happened!"
"What's up?"
"Today I received news that a lender we were following, the one that was about to debut, seemed to have given up on the group due to funding issues, and has said that they can stay or go. But more importantly, the girl's uncle seemed to have a lot of gambling debts, and now I don't know where he is hiding. Her father's illness was not cured, and he died two months ago. So I'm afraid she won't be able to repay the loan. If it was before, it would be easy to deal with, and they would be forced to sell their house, but now we have all become regular employees, so I want to ask for your advice, what should we do next?"
Zheng Xiuheng's expression changed slightly. Money was very important, and it was true for him who had no money, but now with Han Zhenyu's money, it was not so urgent for the time being. Thinking of Jin Guanglu's words, Zheng Xiuheng suddenly realized something, his eyes lit up, and he asked directly: "Are you sure?"
"Of course I am sure. I will collect information about some debtors every week. There are quite a few trainees in that company. I can get the information by just grabbing any one of them, giving them a little money and threatening them!"
Zheng Xiuheng nodded, thought about it, and decided not to waste time at this moment, so he said directly: "Contact her now and ask her to come to the Moonlight Cafe on Yeouido Cherry Blossom Avenue. I will wait for her here. If she doesn't want to, come over and remember to tell her that we will find her home!"
"Got it, boss. I'll contact him first!"
When Liu Xilie saw Zheng Xiuheng put away his phone, he looked a little surprised, as if he had thought of something, and asked with some suspicion: "Xiuheng, you, you are not a loan shark, are you?"
Zheng Xiuheng glanced at him, shook his head and said, "Formal credit only has a higher interest rate, but the loan amount is a bit large, so sometimes we have to pay attention to the debtor's situation. Uncle, have you recovered now?"
Liu Xilie shook his head, believing what Zheng Xiuheng said, then sighed heavily, and replied after a while: "Since you don't want to talk, then let's not talk about it. I have no opinion on the investment. I will talk to those guys when I go back. After all, the company is not mine alone!"
Zheng Xiuheng shook his head and said, "No, I am not here to discuss this with you today because I need your attitude, but because I want to develop together with you and Antenna Music. This is not a situation where I invest in the company and you do your work and I do mine, and you just help out occasionally. If that's the case, why would I invest in Antenna? I want to ask, do Uncle Liu and Uncle Zheng Zaixing just want to simply open a studio and make music to make a living?"
Liu Xilie didn't really want to . The news of Li Xiaole's death was a bit too strong for him. But looking at Zheng Xiuheng's serious look, he could only put away his sadness and think seriously.
"In the entertainment industry, large companies, such as SM, JYP, and DSP, can all be called brands. Especially for companies like SM, even if the company's reputation is bad, the music and singers they release will always be recognized and paid attention to by the public, and the company's brand also has a very strong promotion ability. Just like independent music has a good platform, it will definitely be much better than the current situation. I hope that uncle can go back and think about the investment carefully, and it would be best if you can give me an answer in a short time!"
Zheng Xiuheng can only try his best to influence Yoo Hee-yeol. To put it bluntly, Yoo Hee-yeol and Antenna Music have no real idea of developing their careers. Everything they are doing is more like a combination of part-time job and hobby.
The prerequisite for investment is that they change their minds, otherwise Zheng Xiuheng himself will never be able to grow and develop.
At this moment, Yoo Hee-yeol also fully understood Zheng Xiuheng's thoughts, and such things indeed could not be decided immediately.
In fact, Zheng Xiuheng had some other things to say, such as a slight satire on the fact that Yoo Hee-yeol, who is now middle-aged and has achieved nothing, really has no future compared to his colleagues who founded companies at the same time.
However, Zheng Xiuheng would not tell Liu Xilie about this method of provocation. If Liu Xilie really didn't want to, Zheng Xiuheng could only think of another way.
Going down a path to the end and pinning everything on one thing is a taboo no matter where you are.
Zheng Xiuheng also has a backup plan, but it's not very glorious. This is thanks to the secrets he discovered while tracking SM a few days ago.
"Okay, uncle, go back to study if you have nothing else to do. I'll have to wait for someone here for a while, so you can go first!"
“…”
"Are you too heartless?" Liu Xilie asked sadly. Although he was very sad, Zheng Xiuheng's attitude made him even more hurt.
Zheng Xiuheng finally smiled, but his voice was "cold": "I don't talk about love with men. I have been patient for a long time, Uncle Liu, if you say such things again, I will beat you up!"
Yoo Hee-yeol stood up awkwardly. He realized that Zheng Xiuheng was a little angry, so he didn't say anything more. However, Zheng Xiuheng seemed very human to him. Although his tone was a little cold, this should be considered anger, right?
"Oh, that's right!"
Liu Xilie walked out of the booth, then suddenly remembered and hurried back.
"What?" Zheng Xiuheng was a little confused. Judging from Liu Xilie's expression, he seemed to have something to say.
Yoo Hee-yeol stood aside and said seriously, "I have already agreed with PD Lee Jong-min at the radio station that I will only be doing it for another month. I mentioned you as the backup DJ, and Lee Jong-min said he would consider it. In the past few days, many listeners have sent text messages or messages asking about you. It seems that this matter is not as pessimistic as we thought. Although the chance is small, it is not completely impossible."
Zheng Xiuheng was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he calmly replied: "Well, I will wait for the news. If I can really become a substitute, I will treat you to a meal. I hope I can have such an opportunity to spend money!"
"Hey, do you have to be so stingy? Can't you eat today?"
"The snow is getting heavier!" Turning around and looking at the outside world, Zheng Xiuheng sighed that this winter is really cold.
Yoo Hee-yeol was injured and retreated...
