I Raised The Richest Man In The World

Cheng Hao died in a car accident, transmigrated to America in the 1980s, and became a Chinese American. At this time, Microsoft and Apple were still developing, the Internet wasn’t popular, and mobile...

Chapter 44 Ambition

Old George brought Cheng Hao to Gibbs. On the one hand, he wanted Gibbs to give Cheng Hao some pointers. On the other hand, he wanted Cheng Hao to compete with Gibbs' boxers.

A good boxer must have enough practical training.

As a result, Cheng Hao went to teach the children...

But Old George still remembered the important matter. He called Cheng Hao back and asked Cheng Hao to compete with those boxers.

This kind of competition is different from the competition in the ring, people generally don't use their full strength.

Cheng Hao would not enter a special state at this time. He fought with others with a relaxed expression. His old problem came back in the middle, and he even gave some pointers to his opponent after the game.

Fortunately, the boxers here are all good-tempered and no one is angry. Gibbs is even very happy and regards Cheng Hao as a soulmate.

Gibbs was about sixty or seventy years old, and spoke with a heavy accent. He was always smiling, and you could tell at a glance that he had a good temper, completely different from old George.

Cheng Hao and his friends stayed with him until 11 o'clock in the evening before leaving.

When he left, Old George was not in as good a mood as when he arrived.

"George, are you and Gibbs good friends?" Cheng Hao asked. Old George wasn't actually very old, only in his early fifties, at least fifteen years younger than Gibbs. Furthermore, one of them was white, the other black, so becoming friends wasn't easy.

"Yes, we are friends," said Old George. "He's a very good man. He never looks down on black people. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have the opportunity to go to school... My father used to work in his house."

Cheng Hao didn't expect there was such a part.

Decades ago in the United States, racial discrimination was really serious, and very few black people could receive an education... Well, even now, there are actually not many black people who receive higher education.

Many black people live in poor communities, and the quality of education in these communities is so poor that for many people, their fate is determined at birth.

When they returned to the hotel, Old George noticed that Cheng Hao had bought a lot of clothes for Claude.

"You spent all the two hundred dollars on him, right?" Old George frowned as he watched Claude move the clothes into the room.

"He doesn't have many clothes..." Cheng Hao smiled.

"You only know how to be kind!" Old George glared at Cheng Hao and slammed the door of his and Claude's room.

Cheng Hao was locked outside and returned to his room helplessly.

There was heating in the room and it was quite hot. As soon as Cheng Hao entered, he began to take off his clothes, took out the money hidden in his pocket, and counted it.

The five thousand dollars I put in this morning is now only two thousand and two hundred.

Cheng Hao didn’t feel distressed at all before, but now he felt a little distressed and embarrassed.

They are a family, so the money is their common property. It was Lin Yuxun who proposed the bet... Doesn't it seem inappropriate for him to just give so much money to others?

More importantly... Cheng Hao once again discovered that his hands were a little loose.

They really bought a lot of things today. After the bet, the remaining $500 was only $100... Cheng Hao gave all the money to Lin Yuxun: "Yuxun, I don't think I'm suitable for managing money. You should keep this money. You can give me pocket money in the future."

Lin Yuxun wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he agreed: "Okay."

The money is in his hands, there is no way Cheng Hao would abandon him and leave, right?

Danny was already sleepy and fell asleep on the way back. Cheng Hao gave the money to Lin Yuxun, took a shower, and fell asleep on the bed.

Lin Yuxun was the last to fall asleep, lying next to Danny - he was well now, and there was no reason not to sleep with Danny.

Lin Yuxun lay beside Danny and kissed him on the face.

He has always loved this younger brother. Without him, he would have no relatives and would lose his ties with this world.

However, he didn't know how to get close to his younger brother before, but now he knows... After knowing it, he doesn't know why, but compared to being close to his younger brother, he wants to be close to Cheng Hao more.

The next day, Old George took Cheng Hao and others back.

They hadn't been home for two days, and when they returned they were quite happy. What made them even happier was that their residence had not been robbed.

In such a chaotic and poor community, it is a great thing that residents are not robbed when they are not at home!

They need to thank the tough Mr. Dampier.

Cheng Hao's life returned to normal.

Both he and Lin Yuxun would get up at six o'clock, wash up in ten minutes, and then Cheng Hao would just eat a piece of bread and start training, while Lin Yuxun would start reading.

At 7:30, Lin Yuxun will make breakfast, and around 8 o'clock the three of them will eat something. Then Cheng Hao will continue training for a while, take a shower, and go to Old George's place.

Lin Yuxun teaches Danny how to read.

It is not easy to teach a deaf person like Danny to recognize words. Fortunately, they have picture books. Danny can understand the meaning of some of the sentences by looking at the pictures in the picture books.

In addition, Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun thought of another way to help Danny learn to read, which was to accompany Danny to do something and then write it down with a pen.

For example, if you took Danny to wash clothes, you can write sentences like "Danny washed clothes" and "Danny and Tony washed clothes together".

Danny can learn a lot from listening to words one by one.

Even Lin Yuxun's written expression ability improved after doing this more often.

After Danny had learned calligraphy for an hour, Lin Yuxun stopped teaching him and continued studying on his own. While he was studying, Danny read a book and drew beside him.

Any other child of Danny's age would definitely not be so well-behaved, but Danny used to live with Lin Yuxun, and he had no one to accompany him. From dawn to dusk, he was basically locked in the house alone.

He had long been accustomed to quietness, and for him, being able to have Lin Yuxun accompany him made him very happy.

At noon, they would have a simple meal, and then Lin Yuxun would teach Danny for another hour. After that, they would read and study on their own.

Danny spends most of his time drawing. When he fills up a piece of paper, he uses the drawing to fold paper.

Lin Yuxun is different. He has been reading books very seriously.

He usually glances over the book briefly first, and then reads it carefully, taking notes as he goes.

He seldom read books before, and he read very slowly at first, but gradually his speed increased.

Lin Yuxun used to think he wasn't particularly smart, but now that Cheng Hao constantly praises him, he feels like he must be smart and should be able to quickly grasp the meaning of the book. He's become more and more attentive when reading. As a result, he learns faster and faster, and his belief in his intelligence grows stronger.

Of course, when he couldn't understand the content of the book, he would feel anxious and even couldn't eat, but every night at dinner time, when Cheng Hao came back and talked to them, he felt full of strength all over his body.

Every afternoon at 5:30, Lin Yuxun would start cooking dinner. After Cheng Hao finished eating, it was the happiest time of his day - Cheng Hao would accompany him and Danny for at least two hours.

For example, today, Cheng Hao brought some milk candies from Old George to them. After they finished their meal, he started asking them what they did today.

"Yu Xun, you are really amazing! I can't understand these books, but you can actually learn them!"

"Many people spend a lot of money to go to school, but they don't learn as well as you. How come my Yu Xun is so smart?"

"These formulas make me dizzy, and you can recite them all! You will definitely go to a good university in the future."

"Yu Xun, I'm going to rely on you from now on! You know, boxing is a young man's game. When I get older, I won't be able to box anymore."

Cheng Hao is always generous with his praise, but what he said about boxing being a young person's job is false.

If he can improve his boxing skills, he won't have to worry about not making a living even if he becomes a boxing coach in the future.

But Lin Yuxun kept these words in mind. He looked at Cheng Hao and nodded seriously.

He must make more money in the future so that Cheng Hao can do whatever he wants.

Of course, Cheng Hao wasn't just about praise. He would also consider practical issues for Lin Yuxun: "It's not easy for you to learn all this on your own... Can your teachers at school help you answer your questions?"

The school Cheng Hao was talking about was the school where they often went to eat.

There are good public schools in the United States. For example, schools in communities where all working-class people live are particularly well managed.

Moreover, parents in such good communities also value schools and will even pay for them... The public schools there are actually quite good.

But the schools in the slums are really just decorations. Students don’t like to go to class, and teachers don’t care about them.

Here, it is common for teachers to drink alcohol in class.

"The teachers can't help me." Lin Yuxun said. When he lived with his father, the teachers and school there were better, but here...

"If you have any questions, ask Shi Wenzheng," said Cheng Hao.

Lin Yuxun nodded: "I wrote a letter during the day and will mail it tomorrow."

"Okay." Cheng Hao responded and went to talk to Danny again.

Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun have not forgotten Shi Wenzhen, and Shi Wenzhen has not forgotten them. He wrote a letter during the day today.

Shi Wenzheng was embarrassed when someone suddenly stuffed over two thousand dollars into her pocket. She even felt like she was deliberately playing the victim to get money...

Therefore, he wanted to contact these two people as soon as possible. In addition, he packed up the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" he brought back from China and prepared to send it to Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun.

Shi Wenzhen wrote the letter and prepared to mail it. On the way, he met his classmate.

"Have you written letters to your Chinese classmates again?" Shi Wenzheng's white classmates asked him.

Shi Wenzheng said: "No, I'm writing letters to two friends I just met."

"Your friend? Which university is he from?" the man asked, while moving closer to Shi Wenzheng to take a look at the address.

When Shi Wenzhen first came, people in the school didn't like him very much and thought he was a little weird. But after spending time with them and seeing his efforts, many people took the initiative to make friends with him.

"They didn't go to college," said Shi Wenzheng.

Shi Wenzheng's classmates had already seen the address clearly by now. After seeing it clearly, they were stunned: "They are from Brooklyn?! Or...Oh my God!"

The man had an indescribable expression on his face. Shi Wenzheng asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Shi Wenzheng's classmates glanced at her and said, "That's a slum."

Shi Wenzheng was stunned.

Shi Wenzheng didn't know much about the situation in the United States, at least he had never seen the slums with his own eyes, but he also knew that rich people would never live in slums.

In fact, he noticed at that time that although those children bought a lot of clothes, they were all cheap clothes, and the people with them were also black.

There are rich people in Hong Kong, but there are also poor people, and even people who have to come abroad to work.

Shi Wenzhen felt a little uncomfortable.

And when Shi Wenzheng started communicating with Lin Yuxun...

Lin Yuxun's previous life was at the bottom of society. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not escape the despair that followed him like a shadow, and he had no time or opportunity to think about what kind of life he wanted.

Until Cheng Hao appeared and gave him a hand.

Now he has a warm house to live in, no longer has to go hungry, and can study well... Lin Yuxun began to think about what he wanted and what he wanted to do.

Apart from matters related to Cheng Hao, he was extremely clear-headed at other times.

His cautious life since childhood also made him good at observing others.

If not for this, he wouldn't have grown up so well.

He knew that although Shi Wenzheng was not like Cheng Hao, who was simply a sun, they were very similar in nature... He knew what kind of self he should show to make Shi Wenzheng pay more attention to him.

When Lin Yuxun wrote the letter, he mentioned that the two of them had no parents, and also mentioned that because his brother was a boxer, they had no worries about food and clothing.

He didn't deliberately play the victim.

But these days, everyone knows that except for a very small number of people who box, the vast majority of people do it because they have no other choice.

Therefore, most of the people who box are poor.

Lin Yuxun wanted Shi Wenzheng's sympathy.

The only educated person they knew who could help them in areas other than boxing was Shi Wenzhen.

Lin Yuxun has made up his mind to hold on to him and try to get to know more people through him.

He didn't want Cheng Hao to worry about his studies, Cheng Hao was already busy enough.

He can handle it all on his own.

Cheng Hao always says that he is very smart, doesn't he?

Cheng Hao wants to become the strongest boxer, he also wants to stand out from the crowd, and he must become a rich man.

Lin Yuxun looked at himself in the mirror, silently encouraged himself, and also saw strong ambition in his own eyes.

But soon, he stopped looking in the mirror and went to make a midnight snack for Cheng Hao.
