Old George set off on February 2nd, heading for the city where Lin Yuxun was. When he set off, he brought Cheng Hao, Claude, Danny, and an assistant he had just hired.
The assistant's name is Bob, a young black man.
He graduated from a community college and worked alongside Old George, taking care of various chores. His salary was paid by Old George, $100 a week, and room and board were also provided.
Whenever Cheng Hao thought about Lin Yuxun's hard work as a floor cleaner, but his weekly salary was only $28, he couldn't help but sigh at the importance of academic qualifications.
You know, the community college Bob attended was a two-year university, not a good one.
Bob is a bit dull, not talkative, and doesn't like to communicate with others, but he is very serious about his work... Cheng Hao doesn't know much else about him - Bob has only been hired by Old George for a few days, and he has been very busy these days.
Bob had a driver's license, so Old George didn't drive. He sat in the passenger seat and gave Bob directions.
Sitting in the back seat were Cheng Hao, Danny and Claude.
Cheng Hao has participated in many competitions recently, but Claude has not participated in any of them. After all, he still relies mainly on brute force when boxing and has no idea of any techniques.
But Old George always took him with him, fearing that something might happen if he left him at home - Arabella had to manage the bar and didn't have time to keep an eye on Claude. Moreover, Claude listened to Cheng Hao very much, but not so much to Arabella.
Along the way, Cheng Hao was helping Danny learn words.
He was very busy a few days ago and neglected Danny. Now that he has some free time, he wants to find a way to make up for it.
In fact, Cheng Hao once thought about letting Danny learn to speak. After all, Danny could make sounds, and Helen Keller, the author of "Three Days to See", was in a worse situation than Danny, but she also learned to speak, didn't she?
But he soon discovered that this was almost impossible.
Danny had never spoken before, and it was difficult to get him to speak.
And because he doesn't communicate much with others, he can't understand other people's lip reading like some deaf-mute people.
Of course, if he really wanted to be taught, he could be taught. If there was someone who accompanied him wholeheartedly and did not do anything else but taught him, he could be taught over a period of ten or twenty years, but they did not have such a person.
Even though Cheng Hao liked Danny, he didn't think he could spend so much time on Danny. He thought it might be more reliable to have Danny fitted with an artificial cochlear implant.
I don’t know if Danny can fit it, and I don’t know if cochlear implants are already available at this time.
As Cheng Hao was thinking about this, he saw Danny writing down a word he had just taught him.
He smiled and wrote a sentence in the notebook: "Danny is great!"
After writing, he also drew a fist with a thumbs up on the back.
For a child who has never learned anything, English is much easier to learn than Chinese. Although Danny has only studied for a few months, he can already understand a lot of words.
Cheng Hao just wrote "Bob is driving, George is sitting in the passenger seat" to teach him, and he understood it and could even write down the unfamiliar words.
"Cheng..." Claude looked at Cheng Hao: "I can do it too! I know these words."
"You're great too! Claude!" Cheng Hao praised. He was really satisfied with Claude recently.
When he first brought Danny to Old George, he was actually a little worried, afraid that Claude would not like Danny... Claude has the mentality of a child, and it is normal for a child to not like another child bullying him!
In order to avoid such problems, he specially found some toys for Claude and Danny to play with and cultivate their relationship.
Then, although the relationship between the two was not particularly good, it was pretty good. Claude even started to learn from Danny and followed Danny in everything...
If nothing else, Claude is really much quieter now.
When Cheng Hao was teaching Danny to recognize sentences and words, Claude actually learned a few of them, which surprised Cheng Hao.
Bob drove very steadily, and that afternoon they checked into a hotel on time, waiting for the next day's game.
In his previous life, Cheng Hao faced some very important competitions, and sometimes he couldn't sleep the whole night. But this competition was not particularly important to him, and it didn't matter if he lost. He rested well that night. After getting up the next day, he happily accompanied Danny for breakfast and took a walk nearby.
The competition was about to begin that afternoon.
Old George took Cheng Hao into a large gymnasium.
After Cheng Hao crossed over, he has participated in many competitions, but the venue in front of him is undoubtedly the best of all the competitions he has participated in.
The quality of the audience here is also very high. After arriving, they sat quietly in their seats without making any noise or smoking.
You know, when he participated in competitions before, some audience members would fight in the audience!
There's not even a place to place bets.
"This is a formal competition. There's an ambulance waiting at the door." Old George said, then looked at Cheng Hao: "Is this your first time participating in a formal competition?"
"Yes." Cheng Hao said. He saw the ambulance parked at the door. They were well prepared.
This match was organized by the company where Cheng Hao's opponent today, Samo, works. They wanted to promote Samo, but they would also let other boxers from their own company compete. So they organized such a match with the boxers from their own company, the boxers they invited, and some boxers who took the initiative to participate.
Before the match between Cheng Hao and Samo, there were matches between other boxers.
Cheng Hao changed his clothes in advance and then started watching other boxers compete.
The field is full of the collision of muscles...Boxing matches always make people's blood boil.
What's even more interesting is that he heard someone wrapping his penis with a cloth in the bathroom. Those people also mentioned the game between Bart and Mad Bull: "It's incomprehensible that Mad Bull stuffed a towel directly into his penis."
"That's right, it would be better to wrap it in cloth!"
"It really looks much more majestic this way!"
…
Cheng Hao: “…”
Cheng Hao waited until those people left before coming out of the toilet cubicle. He walked to Old George with some embarrassment, and then heard Old George say, "Come on, I'll take you to meet your opponent."
Old George took Cheng Hao and found a white man with an afro.
The white man was about the same height as Cheng Hao, with blond hair and blue eyes, very handsome, and a great figure. Cheng Hao had a good impression of him the first time he saw him.
Humans are really good at judging faces.
And now, this handsome blond boxer is talking to his assistant: "How long will it take before it's my turn?"
"It should be soon." The assistant tried to comfort Samo, who was obviously a little irritable.
"Hello, I'm George." Old George greeted him.
It turned out that Samo and his assistant, not knowing whether it was because the surroundings were too noisy or something else, completely ignored Old George. Samo just said to his assistant, "You've said fast many times!"
Samo was obviously in a bad mood, but he came here...
Cheng Hao took the initiative to step forward and greeted loudly: "Hello, Samo."
Samo still didn't respond.
Cheng Hao said: "Hello..."
"I heard it. Can't you stop being so annoying and just stop talking?" Samo looked at Cheng Hao dissatisfiedly.
Cheng Hao was now certain that this man had done it on purpose, and he felt somewhat helpless. He had been targeted by other boxers in Old George's bar at first, but these days when he was out fighting, such things were rare.
Of course, there are definitely some boxers who like to swear and curse to undermine others' confidence.
Now Samo... he is too lazy to even swear, he just doesn't want to pay attention to me.
Cheng Hao and Old George looked at each other and decided to leave. They didn't want to put their efforts into someone else's cold butt.
Then, Samo suddenly said, "My God, what's wrong with Tommy? The opponents he arranges for me are getting worse and worse! Why would he even arrange someone like this for me?"
"Doesn't he know that defeating someone like this wouldn't give him any sense of accomplishment?"
Samo was indeed full of malice and didn't like him... Cheng Hao was too lazy to pay attention to him and just left.
"Cheng, you must knock him down and knock out his teeth!" Old George became furious as soon as he left Samo.
Cheng Hao could only comfort him: "Old George, don't be angry."
"How can I not be angry!" Old George cursed and vented all his anger, then looked at Cheng Hao: "By the way, don't be angry, you are the best."
Cheng Hao laughed: "Yes, I am the best. Actually, I am not angry. If I get angry over such a small matter, I will not get far."
"You always have a very good attitude. I originally wanted to find a psychologist to help you adjust your mindset... I know a psychologist who specializes in helping boxers, but I didn't expect you wouldn't need him at all. It saved me a lot of money." Old George said.
"I've already told you I'm the best." Cheng Hao said with a smile, "I've also thought about studying psychology. It would be great if I could become a psychologist in the future."
Old George said, "Don't think about it! Just practice boxing!"
The previous games went on one after another, and finally, it was Cheng Hao and Samo's turn.
The two weighed themselves first.
Samo is not fat and weighs about ten pounds more than Cheng Hao, but the two of them are not incapable of fighting.
While Cheng Hao and Samo were weighing themselves, the host introduced Cheng Hao and Samo to the audience.
He introduced Samo first, and he did it perfectly, using all sorts of beautiful words to describe him. But when it came to Cheng Hao's turn, the introduction was...
Cheng Hao frowned.
Sometimes, the same sentence, when spoken in a different tone, has a completely different meaning. At the same time, some of the words used by people here naturally carry a contemptuous meaning.
The host who introduced him and Samo not only used some of these words when introducing him, but also made fun of him, with his words full of malice: "He is from China, and I am surprised that he doesn't have a braid!"
"A yellow man, he wants to challenge Samo!"
"What a courageous man! I hope he gets knocked down!"
…
Moreover, it was clearly these people who invited him to participate in the competition, but this person said that Cheng Hao was arrogant and came to challenge Samo: "A little guy who has only participated in a few competitions got the nickname of "violent boy" and thinks he is so powerful... I wish him good luck!"
