"Are you going to work?" Lin Yuxun looked at Cheng Hao in surprise.
Cheng Hao said before that he was looking for a job, but he didn't take it seriously at the time. He didn't expect Cheng Hao to have found a job...
Cheng Hao, did you really find a job
"Yes, I didn't recover from my injury a few days ago, so I didn't look for a job. Today I feel better, so I went to look for a job, and I found a job." Cheng Hao said.
It's not that easy to find a job... Lin Yuxun was a little skeptical, but he felt that Cheng Hao shouldn't be doubted.
Cheng Hao said: "The bar asked me to go there after six o'clock. I was afraid that you would come back too late, so I would take Danny to find you."
He could see that Lin Yuxun was a little confused, so he explained a few more words.
When Lin Yuxun heard Cheng Hao's explanation, he believed it. He wanted to ask a few more questions, but he thought that he had concealed a lot of things from Cheng Hao, so he felt embarrassed to ask more.
Cheng Hao sent Lin Yuxun to the door of his house, then left, and went to Old George.
It's early fall here in New York State.
The weather in New York is not hot even in summer, but now that it is autumn, it is even cooler. The wind blows on Cheng Hao's face, making his hairs stand on end.
It was this kind of cold that made him more sober.
Cheng Hao told himself that he must win tonight.
He is really short of money.
Moreover, when the weather turns cold, he will be even more short of money.
Winter clothes are a must. In addition, it is best to change to a room that can be heated—they now live on the ground floor with only a thin rolling door, which is too unfriendly to winter. How did you get by.
When Cheng Hao came to Old George's bar, it was already dark, and the colorful lights at the entrance of the bar were also on.
But there aren't many guests inside... The boxing match won't start until eight o'clock in the evening, and the one that is regarded as today's main match will be played later, at least nine o'clock.
Cheng Hao was stopped by someone when he entered the door. He chatted with the person who blocked him, and then he realized that he wanted to come to the bar to watch a boxing match, and there were some requirements. For example, everyone who watched the game had to place a bet.
However, there is no rule on how much to bet, but generally speaking, very few people bet less than five yuan, and they usually bet ten yuan. When they meet some rich people, they will bet more. There is no such thing as one hundred yuan or two hundred yuan.
This money is in US dollars, and its purchasing power is still very high.
Cheng Hao thought before that Chester insisted on coming in instead of coming in by himself because he was not old enough, but only now did he know that it was because he had no money.
In addition to placing bets in the bar, there are other consumptions. Chester and the others, who only get a little money by robbing students like Lin Yuxun, have no way to make such consumptions.
Cheng Hao said that he was a boxer, and was brought to Old George.
Old George was in a small room behind the bar. When Cheng Hao entered, he was eating a hamburger.
Seeing Cheng Hao, he took a sip of Coke before saying, "I thought you weren't coming."
"I'm short of money, so I won't stop coming." Cheng Hao said.
"That's right, people who are short of money are always hard-working." Old George said, "You are new here, and the boxer I arranged for you is not so strong. His name is Gerald... Wait for your first fight, Warm up."
Cheng Hao nodded: "OK."
Old George pointed to a room next to him and said, "All the boxers are there, you can go and get to know them."
Cheng Hao followed Old George's instructions and entered a room next to him.
There are five black people staying here. From their looks, you can tell that they are all boxers. At this moment, some of them are smoking, and some are eating. The eaters are eating hamburgers like Old George.
Cheng Hao thinks that the people here have a soft spot for hamburgers. Of course, they always eat this, probably because it is convenient to eat.
As soon as Cheng Hao entered, everyone in the room looked over.
Cheng Hao greeted them: "Hi, I'm Cheng, a new boxer."
"You? Boxer?" The biggest black man among these people looked at Cheng Hao and sneered, "Is old George crazy? He even found a child and a yellow monkey to fight!"
After the black man said this, a black man next to him also said: "It's ridiculous, people of yellow race can also punch? Are you not afraid of being beaten to death?"
Their contempt for Cheng Hao was undisguised, and the other three black people said at this time: "Little guy, go home and nurse, this is not the place you should come!"
"Don't come here to play games."
"Are you here to be beaten? Hahahaha!"
…
While talking, the big black man who spoke first suddenly said to one of the three black men: "Geral, you always lose in the game, no one will press you to win, and no one wants to watch you Poor performance on stage, but today old George asked you to come, and found such a kid... He must be your opponent, work hard, Gerald."
After the man finished speaking, he burst out laughing, and the other blacks also laughed when they heard what he said.
The black man named Gerald's face was ashen, but he didn't dare to offend those two people, but looked at Cheng Hao: "Asshole, you'd better kneel down and lick me, or I won't let you go!"
Cheng Hao said nothing, and looked at Gerald with a sneer.
In the past, he would repeatedly study the opponent's game video before participating in the game, and even went to watch the opponent's interview video.
After reading these, he probably knows what kind of character his opponent is, and what method he will use to fight.
But now he can't see the previous game videos of these people, so he can only observe them in person.
From the performance of these people, he can roughly know who they are.
The Gerald in front of him is really not in a good state of mind, and he is probably about to fly into a rage next time.
As Cheng Hao expected, this Gerald was really furious and started to swear at him.
Cheng Hao turned a blind eye, and the man became even angrier, as if he wanted to tear Cheng Hao apart.
On the other hand, the other few sat beside them with a relaxed look of watching a joke, and chatted about other things.
It was only then that Cheng Hao knew that apart from himself, another foreign boxer named "Mad Bull" would come over today.
He is not well-known, and he is not seen by these people, but the boxer from other places is very valued by them-these people used to come here at seven or eight o'clock, but today they came at six o'clock, that is. In order to see that boxer sooner.
Cheng Hao listened to them carefully. Although these things had nothing to do with him for the time being, he could remember them in advance.
He can't remember the names of foreigners, nor can he remember the appearance of foreigners. He has to listen to them several times and look at their faces before he can remember.
That Gerald was very angry all the time, but Cheng Hao ignored him, and he couldn't help it. He just clamored to teach Cheng Hao a severe lesson when the next game came.
Cheng Hao didn't care about it.
He observed Gerald carefully, and found that although this man looked strong, his body was actually a bit weak, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
The only troublesome thing is that he is physically weak and lacks special exercises.
Time passed quickly, and after a while, it was almost eight o'clock.
Old Jack walked in and told Cheng Hao: "Cheng, go to the stage quickly! Let people know you!"
When Cheng Hao heard what Old George said, he knew that there should be some regulations here, so he followed Old George onto the stage without delay.
Old George said to the guests in the bar: "Today there will be a very powerful boxer. The mad bull from New York City will come to us to compete. Everyone must really want to know him!"
There were already people in the bar, but not many people, but even so, the atmosphere became lively after hearing Old George's words.
At this time, Old George said again: "But the strong mad cow hasn't come yet and can't play. I will introduce another new boxer to everyone. He will have the first match today with Gerald." .”
Hearing the name of Gerald, these people sighed for a while: "Old George, are you kidding? You still let that soft guy Gerald play?"
"I don't want to watch Gerald, I want to watch Mad Cow!"
"See what Gerald does? See him being beaten?"
…
These people laughed loudly, and Cheng Hao was very angry when he saw the veins on Gerald's head popping out.
But he has no emotions.
He has participated in many competitions and knows that in the boxing ring, mental fitness is as important as physical fitness.
If you want to win, you can't have too many messy thoughts.
Just today during the day, Cheng Hao didn't want to win, he just wanted to play a good game to watch and admit defeat, but now, he has the determination to win.
After all, the winner can get 4% of the money, but the loser can only get 1%.
He needs money.
At this time, Old George said: "Next, we will invite our new boxer to come up, and everyone can place bets."
Cheng Hao came to the stage.
The fence around the boxing match is not that big, and the spectators are very close together.
This allows the audience to see everything that makes people excited on the field up close, and also allows Cheng Hao to see their appearance clearly.
Most of these people are fierce, and they all carry guns.
But now that he has entered a special state, he doesn't care.
Cheng Hao was very calm. Those who laughed at Gerald before now laughed at Cheng Hao: "Old George, are you crazy? You even let a little doll compete?"
"Old George, you're going to show us two chickens fighting?"
"Ha, it suddenly occurred to me that Gerald can't win against others, but he will definitely win against this little doll!"
"This is a Chinese, what a beautiful little doll... Gerald come on, break his head!"
"Gerald, throw him down!"
…
These people talked excitedly, Cheng Hao turned his head, and saw Gerald, who hadn't played yet not far away, open his mouth towards him, showing a malicious smile.
The game will start soon.
