One day in July, Old George came to find Cheng Hao and took Cheng Hao to shoot an advertisement.
It was already the middle of 1984, and China's huge market had been discovered by some visionary American companies. Coca-Cola had been in China for several years... The United States also began to need some Chinese people to shoot commercials.
The company helped Cheng Hao take on several advertisements. Although most of them were supporting roles and the pay was not much, it was still a source of income.
Shooting commercials doesn’t require much acting skills. Even if you don’t do it well at the beginning, you can just shoot it a few more times. This time, Cheng Hao shot for a whole day before he finished shooting the biscuit commercial he wanted to shoot.
After the filming, Old George invited Cheng Hao to dinner.
"Cheng, you manage your body very well." Old George looked at Cheng Hao with some emotion. Many boxers would become very fat after stopping boxing, but Cheng Hao was in very good shape.
"I think so too." Cheng Hao smiled, without mentioning that he had started training again.
Old George went out not long ago and they haven't seen each other for half a month.
At this moment, Old George told Cheng Hao about some recent events and said, "Cheng Hao, I plan to take Claude to the competition."
Claude has been training with Old George for three years. During these three years, his training volume is not as much as Cheng Hao's, but it is far more than others. In addition, he is born with supernatural powers... He could have participated in the competition a long time ago.
The reason why George didn't take him out to play before was because Claude had big problems with interpersonal relationships, and also because he had to take care of Cheng Hao and couldn't concentrate on taking care of Claude - Claude's situation required him to be with him all the time.
He originally planned to wait for two years until Cheng Hao became famous and no longer needed him before taking Claude.
But now Cheng Hao can't fight anymore... Now, bringing Claude with him is his best choice.
"That's great. He wants to participate in amateur competitions first?" Cheng Hao asked.
"No." Old George said, "I plan to take him directly to the professional competition, and he will play in the amateur competition... I'm afraid of accidents."
Old George's concerns were justified.
Cheng Hao knows the proper amount of force when fighting with others, and he won't cause serious injuries in amateur matches, but Claude... he doesn't care about the strength of his punches.
Amateur boxers couldn't stand his iron fist.
People who play professional games are generally very strong and know how to avoid getting injured. If you let Claude play in professional games, there is no need to worry about anything happening.
Cheng Hao asked again and found out that Old George was planning to take Claude to sign a contract with the company and then directly participate in the WBA professional boxing match in the second half of the year.
Originally, Cheng Hao was preparing for this competition. His company valued him very much and hoped that he could make a splash in the competition, but now, he has no way to participate in the competition.
His injury has healed, but his shoulder still aches and his right hand is not flexible...
Old George said, "Mr. Carter is a good man. I feel very relieved to have Claude signed to his company. Cheng, your injury is almost healed, right? You can come with us and become Claude's boxing trainer. We can split Claude's boxing income, which belongs to the agent, equally."
The ZYF company that Cheng Hao signed with before was very powerful.
They actually lost money on Cheng Hao. Although the signing fee Cheng Hao asked for was not high, the profits he brought to the company were even lower... But even so, the company did not make a fuss about asking him to return the signing fee or anything like that, and even came to comfort him.
The company is good, so it is normal that George Sr. is willing to let Claude sign with this company.
"There's nothing wrong with being a boxing trainer, but I'm not an agent, so how can I share the profits equally?" Cheng Hao said. An agent needs to have enough connections and know a lot of people, and Old George has achieved this.
He has conflicts with OC Company, but has good relations with many companies outside OC Company. He also knows a lot of boxers. He is a competent agent, but Cheng Hao does not have this ability.
"Without you, there wouldn't be Claude today," said Old George. "And with Claude's condition, he'll probably need your care in the future."
Old George also intervened in Claude's training, but it was mainly supervised by Cheng Hao. Old George knew very well that without Cheng Hao, Claude would definitely not be able to play in the game now.
And Claude's future...
Given Claude's condition, he will probably need a guardian for the rest of his life. Old George doesn't mind being the guardian, but he is not young anymore and will definitely die before Claude. Relatively speaking, Cheng Hao is more suitable.
Thinking of this, Old George continued, "When the time comes, you can help Claude save his boxing income. He should be able to save enough for his retirement, and then you can hire someone to take care of him... I know this is quite troublesome for you, but I still hope you can keep an eye on him."
Old George made it sound like helping Claude save money was a very troublesome matter. Cheng Hao thought about it carefully and realized that it was not that easy.
Cheng Hao didn't refuse: "I will take care of him."
"Then we'll go to the company in a few days," said Old George.
After Old George and Cheng Hao had reached an agreement, he sent Cheng Hao back home.
It was already dark when Cheng Hao returned home. Danny had returned and was drawing on Lin Yuxun's huge conference table.
Seeing Cheng Hao, Danny immediately jumped up: "Brother!"
"Danny, how was your day?" Cheng Hao asked with a smile.
"Great!" Danny said without hesitation. When he was in school, he was basically with Arthur. No one would bully him. In addition to teaching them how to speak and read, the teachers at school also taught them how to draw and so on. He really had a happy life.
What makes him happiest is that Cheng Hao stays at home every day and he can see Cheng Hao every day.
Danny came close to Cheng Hao and talked to him.
After all, he started talking late, his accent sounded strange, and some words were not pronounced correctly. Cheng Hao listened to him and corrected him. At the same time, he looked at Lin Yuxun next to him and squeezed Lin Yuxun's hand.
Lin Yuxun's face suddenly turned red.
After confirming his relationship with Cheng Hao, their lives didn't change much compared to before, but there was still one difference - Cheng Hao did more little things when he was with him.
He likes little touches like this.
Lin Yuxun took some milk from the refrigerator and gave it to Cheng Hao, then asked Cheng Hao if he wanted to eat something.
Cheng Hao rejected Lin Yuxun's suggestion to prepare food for him. He had been out with Old George today and had eaten quite a lot.
Cheng Hao started by talking to Danny, and then helped Danny with his homework.
When Cheng Hao was teaching Lin Yuxun before, he felt that his IQ was crushed. Now that he is teaching Danny, he feels that his IQ crushes Danny.
Danny is not a slow learner, but he has no talent for math.
For example, at this moment, Cheng Hao explained the simplest problem to him, but he just couldn't understand it.
Cheng Hao was very patient and explained it to him slowly, but he still couldn't understand... Lin Yuxun, who was listening beside him, couldn't stand it anymore: "Isn't this very simple? It's just like this..."
Lin Yuxun spoke very quickly. Danny was confused and looked at Lin Yuxun blankly.
Lin Yuxun: “…”
Lin Yuxun explained it again, his voice raised a little.
Danny was even more confused.
Lin Yuxun actually has always had a good temper, but at this moment, his expression changed...
"Yuxun, calm down." Cheng Hao held Lin Yuxun back and said, "Go do your own thing. I'll teach you."
If Lin Yuxun continues to teach, the relationship between their brothers will be in jeopardy.
Cheng Hao felt that a genius like Lin Yuxun was really not suitable for teaching.
He can solve simple questions at a glance, so he doesn't need to explain the solution methods.
As for Danny, he has good artistic talent, but he is really not good at math.
Even Cheng Hao, a poor student, feels extremely superior in front of him.
However, when Danny was doing the questions, many of his ideas were quite interesting.
The assignments Danny's teachers gave him were all childlike and involved pictures. For example, there were pictures of a duckling, a chick, a gosling, and a fish, and they were asked to circle the different animals. Cheng Hao immediately identified the fish as the different one, but Danny thought the different one was the chick, because chicks can't swim, while the others can.
He made many similar mistakes and often misunderstood the meaning of the questions. Lin Yuxun felt very uncomfortable, but Cheng Hao thought it was okay: "Danny, you have a lot of ideas. Actually, I don't think it's wrong for you to do this... You can go to the teacher tomorrow to talk about your ideas."
"That's a great idea! You're such an imaginative kid! But I don't think the person who came up with the question had that in mind."
"Danny, we're done with the questions. Let's color the pictures above!"
…
Lin Yuxun: “…” Cheng Hao didn’t teach him like this when he first taught him. Why did it become like this now?
Is it really okay to color a math problem?
According to his thinking, Danny should buy a few more exercise books now, as hard work can make up for lack of talent, but...
Lin Yuxun felt helpless, but he felt happy when he saw Cheng Hao and Danny coloring the flying birds standing on the branches and the groups of horses on the left and right on the math homework paper.
If Danny can’t do the questions, then he won’t do them... This is quite cute. Of course, the cutest one is Cheng Hao.
At nine o'clock, Danny went to wash up and go to bed. Cheng Hao waited until he fell asleep, sat next to Lin Yuxun and said, "Yuxun, I'm going to start working."
"Work?" Lin Yuxun was stunned.
"Yes, work. I plan to become a boxing trainer. I won't be able to stay at home all the time." Cheng Hao told Old George everything he had discussed that day, and then said, "I'll be going to the company in a few days."
"Your injury hasn't healed yet. We're not short of money now, so you don't need to go to work..." Lin Yuxun said without thinking. He liked Cheng Hao to stay at home with him instead of running around and not seeing him for a long time.
Besides, what if Cheng Hao got injured where he couldn’t see?
Cheng Hao could guess what Lin Yuxun was thinking. He leaned over and kissed Lin Yuxun on the lips: "I want to go out to work. I want to support you and Danny."
Lin Yuxun was kissed, his face flushed red, his mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of anything for a while.
After a while, a thought came to him - Cheng Hao kissed him! Cheng Hao actually kissed him!
Cheng Hao really didn't care that he was a man, Cheng Hao kissed him!
Lin Yuxun was so happy that he wanted to go for a run outside.
Seeing him like this, Cheng Hao couldn't help laughing.
Lin Yuxun is quite easy to "deal with". A kiss can make him dizzy and agree to anything.
