Thinker in the entertainment industry

Chapter 235 235. Confrontation

"They told my father, 'You hit someone'." Li Xicheng's voice sounded heavy, as if every word added a burden to his heart, "His life after that was completely different. ".

"Well, the same as me." Zheng Zhiyong said lightly.

It was no different than what he knew.

"you--"

Li Xicheng glared, but under the barrier of the sunglasses, the eye attack was useless, even Zheng Zhiyong who was sitting opposite couldn't feel it, but judging from his voice that this special anti was not happy.He was kind of... not sure what to say.

"Did he tell you what I was like at the time?" Zheng Zhiyong asked, "I don't have a good tolerance for pain. When the car just ran over me, I fainted from the pain. He didn't treat such things well. My parents said."

It is human nature to emphasize how much you have to do when facing the victim, and describing the tragic situation of the victim is to make yourself guilty.But if the object is his own son, maybe it will be a little different?

"You were unconscious at that time," Li Xicheng choked for a while because of Zheng Zhiyong's request, and then said bluntly, "The upper body is exposed, and the lower body is under the car."

"Oh", Zheng Zhiyong did not show any dissatisfaction with this answer, he responded softly, "I said that I was a little distracted at that time, and I have no memory of how I got involved. The statement of responsibility for the accident I saw at that time was consistent with the place where I was injured."

Zheng Zhiyong's calmness gave Li Xicheng a strong sense of tension, especially when he faintly felt that the rhythm of the conversation was about to return to Zheng Zhiyong's hands, he subconsciously supported the armrest of the chair with his hand, Leaning forward, he assumed a somewhat aggressive posture: "What I said...you know it all."

"Yes," Zheng Zhiyong nodded, "There is basically no difference between what you said and what I understand."

In the small restaurant where Min Yalin is, it is already a scene of "everyone watching the live broadcast together". Except for the chefs, they have to stick to their jobs, because everyone's energy is no longer eating and the waiters who have a lot of leisure can listen to it. The owner of the restaurant, a nearly 60-year-old aunt, simply stood behind Min Yalin and watched it with her after obtaining Min Yalin's consent.

"Wine table culture", Li Xicheng said that when his father had to drink at the wine table and returned to the car with regret and anxiety, the boss sighed, "I don't know how many people have been hurt."

"Has the president ever seen such a situation when he opened a store?" A customer who was also watching the vapp live broadcast asked.

"There must be persuasion to drink. I don't know if people who drink alcohol drive themselves, take someone else's car or hire a substitute driver."

"President, don't be embarrassed, this is beyond your control." Another person said.

The boss smiled, pointed to the camera hanging on the wall, and said, "But last year, new regulations were issued. If someone drinks and drives, they will also be punished. There will be fewer such things."

"There is also someone who was in the car together." Min Yalin's heart moved, and she added, "Last year when thinker beat someone, if he didn't find out that the driver was drinking and was found out, he might also be responsible as a fellow passenger. of".

"Oh - there is such a thing." At the boss's age, he doesn't care much about many hot topics. It took a while to recall, "If you prove that you don't know, you shouldn't be held responsible."

"There is still trouble." Min Yalin said.

"That's true."

At the same time, the hostess at the table where the family of four was sitting was admonishing the two children: "If your father drinks alcohol in the future, don't take his car, do you hear me?"

"How does the child understand this?" the host said in a low voice, "Sometimes we have to socialize, but there is no way."

"I know," his wife whined softly, "I can drive for you if I'm here, can't you hire a substitute driver?"

"How expensive is the driver, it's just a little way."

"Look, that anti father", the woman pointed to the screen, "If you hit someone like him, or one day I was walking on the road with my child, walking on the sidewalk like a thinker, suddenly rolled under the car ..."

The man stopped retorting and sighed: "You need to drink to connect with each other. This culture—the driver is also pitiful."

At the young man's table, the foreign guy who has some Korean listening and speaking skills but doesn't know much about Korean culture is a little confused: "He doesn't want to drink, why doesn't he refuse?"

His Korean classmate explained with some embarrassment: "The person who asked him to drink was someone with senior qualifications and higher status than him. If he didn't drink, he would be regarded as a disappointment, out of gregarious, and would be hit and isolated."

"But it's for safety." The foreigner was still very puzzled. "I knew he was going to drive, and driving after drinking alcohol would be risky, and forcing him to drink is intentionally hurting people."

The Koreans at the same table look at me and I look at you, and I don't know how to explain it to him. "Continue to watch the live broadcast first," and finally someone said, "Corner only talked about his father's last resort, and didn't mention thinker's situation at the time. Thinker only said a few words when he mentioned him. Isn't that a bit tricky?"

"Thinker knows this, and he didn't say he knew the driver was a victim of drinking culture," said another. "What did he think?"

"What do you think?" Li Xicheng asked, "You know the consequences of your actions, right?"

"My father asked the perpetrator for compensation. The amount is the cost of my necessary medical treatment. Your father borrowed usury to pay the money. I know." Zheng Zhiyong said slowly, "Is there a problem? ?”

"I've listened to "Richman" many times." Now it's the real picture, Li Xicheng's muscles are tightening inch by inch, "It's not that you can't afford that money."

"Yes." Zheng Zhiyong said.

"I think that the person who wrote "Richman" would not be aware of the role of money... Then do you know how difficult it is for the bottommost and extremely poor families to improve, and most of the time it is not just hard work? can do it?"

"I know."

"You know that my father's drinking and driving had unavoidable factors, and you also know what that claim will bring to my family, and you are not short of money—" Li Xicheng slowly clenched the armrest of the chair, anger was pouring into him Burning in his body, "According to what I saw when I delivered the courier for you in the past six months, you are doing well."

"Huh?" Zheng Zhiyong just thought it was ridiculous.

"Living a comfortable and leisurely life, showing off your wealthy family, using money to send those who have hurt you to hell, and at the same time using your hurt to win sympathy, you still think that everything you do and everything you do Is it just? When our family was carrying debts, selling our strength and leading a meager income to live hard, you stayed at home or went out to party and have fun, and people outside complained about your misery, and we Unforgivable sin...I can't stand it any longer."

At first, "victim" was just a vague concept in Li Xicheng's mind. Because of his existence, the life of his family was turned upside down, and there was nothing else.Later, he tasted the pain of poverty, the shabbiness and hardship of middle school life, especially the jealousy and resentment when compared with his carefree peers, the disappointment when he knew he had no way to go to college, and the hardship he suffered when he was a courier. Aggrieved, thinking of the despair he felt when he was in debt, he began to complain about why he had to bear it, why his father didn't be more careful after drinking, why the person who was hit didn't pay more attention to avoiding it in time on the road, so that Everyone is working so hard right now.

Later, Thinker was born, and he finally knew the identity of the "victim".

He looked nothing like he had the tragic fate of being disabled in a car accident.Appearance, talent, education, family background are all first-class thinkers, appearing elegantly and arrogantly in front of the camera, doing all kinds of outrageous things as a matter of course, but they are affirmed by the discerning public.He beat people on the street, but he got the support of the two program groups "Infinite Challenge" and "Show Methemoney".He concealed his physical condition so that there were rumors about military service, and when he finally made it public, he received overwhelming distress and praise.

Why.

"When you were in your 20s, you lived a life that many people could only dream of, and you used a little inconvenience in your actions to put yourself in a sympathetic position. At this time, there are still people who You paid the price for the injury nine years ago." Contrary to Zheng Zhiyong's silence, Li Xicheng became more and more excited, "The second half of my parents' life, as well as my sister's and my life, almost the whole life."

Zheng Zhiyong's expression finally loosened a little. He opened his lips slightly, wanting to say something, and finally sighed softly, his expression softened again: "I probably understand what you want to say."

He is most afraid of encountering situations where he can't understand the other party's thinking at all, but everyone agrees with him. Li Xicheng's ideas are a little bit strange, and he can still talk.

"First of all, I want to explain again, what level of disability I am, how many bones have been broken, and the left leg is a few centimeters shorter. These do not have a great impact on my current performance. I use it", Zheng Zhiyong Patted his left knee, "I used it to explain some controversies last year, and this year I want to use it to discuss some issues. It is impossible to rely on it to become popular. The ears of the Republic of Korea have always been very picky." He quoted Lee Hee-sung as saying if.

"How I lived after the car accident that year has nothing to do with what my father did to you, it has to do with myself and the people and things I met later. If I study hard and get a good I have mastered multiple languages ​​in college, met enthusiastic friends and mustered up the courage to try more things. I was lucky enough to discover my talent, so if I had to be more tolerant at the time, then if I hadn’t endured the pain and abandoned high school, now it is A useless person waiting to die by relying on the shadow of his parents, or even less lucky, one day he walked outside and encountered a similar situation, and because he was unable to move, he did not escape, suffered more serious injuries, and even lost his life. I want to go back and continue to investigate and make your father responsible for these?"

Li Xicheng was speechless.After doing this series of things, and even taking the initiative to let Zheng Zhiyong start a live broadcast, Li Xicheng has almost given up on himself before he is ready to pretend, but there is still something he can't admit, that is, a little bit of resentment towards his father in his heart.Zheng Zhiyong had to be cautious when releasing "Six Relatives and Filial Piety", how dare Li Xicheng say that his father alone should bear the burden?

He never said such words in front of his family, but only occasionally flashed in his mind, and the accumulated negative emotions in the past six months were almost poured into Zheng Zhiyong, who in his eyes lived a carefree life.

"My father's actions were based on the situation at the time, and my judgment was also based on the time. We didn't have an intersection later, and I didn't continue to retaliate. When I mentioned the drunk driving incident, I didn't intend to bring you new troubles—I even I didn’t know the specific situation of the person who hit me before, otherwise I wouldn’t have known you for half a year and didn’t find anything wrong.”

"And the situation back then was that your father hadn't tried to persuade him to drink, and he had to drive the car back to Seoul that night, so he was drinking and driving, misread the signal lights, avoided pedestrians who were normally crossing the road in front, and drove on the sidewalk. I was walking on the sidewalk and not paying attention to the road."

"My father, knowing all this, asked the perpetrator, that is, my father, to compensate for my treatment expenses. I don't think he did anything wrong."

"He has considered the 'unintentional' and 'last resort' elements."

"If a person's close relative is disfigured by a self-propelled bomber like that, who drove a big truck-like weapon around the streets at night after a happy evening of drinking, his revenge is more than just Demand monetary compensation!"
