Chapter 473 Please Take Me With You
Zheng Chenggong smiled and replied, "Don't overthink it. Actually, if you think about it carefully, making money is always difficult, no matter what you do. Just like when you and Xiaoxiao were performing on the streets, during the peak tourist season, you could occasionally make hundreds of thousands a day, but now? It's only a few tens of thousands a day. Let's assume 50,000 a day, and a 30-day month, that's only 1.5 million. If you split it between the two of you, it's only 750,000, but you two can't go every day. And if you take part-time jobs, you'll only make around 1 million a month. Thinking about it this way, being a trainee isn't bad. Even if you miss out on three to five years, it's only a few tens of millions, or at most 100 million!"
"Of course, if you can use your limited time to learn more, it can be considered free learning. So if you want to go, go ahead. Don't you think this is the best choice?"
Whether in the past or now, Zheng Chenggong is still so natural when it comes to fooling people, and there is absolutely no trace of any loopholes.
Jung Eun-ji's heart finally settled down, and she thought to herself, "As long as I work hard and learn more, even if I can't become a star, I can still work and make money when I'm 21 or 22!"
To be honest, for a girl like Jung Eun-ji, age is really the biggest advantage.
"So, uncle supports me too?"
"Of course I support you. Just think of it as going to high school and college. Becoming a teacher is your future goal anyway, so relax a bit. The most important thing is, think about how to get Mom's approval!"
After Zheng Chenggong finished speaking, he slowly took another step forward. Zheng Endi was stunned. She suddenly felt a headache when she thought about how to convince her mother.
As for Park Cho-rong, who was standing by, she saw the uncle walking forward and hurriedly followed him. Now she finally had the chance to speak, and hurriedly asked, "Uncle, is it really that hard to make money as an artist?"
Zheng Chenggong was stunned. He turned his head with some confusion and looked at Park Chorong's serious expression. He carefully examined her facial features and suddenly remembered something. He asked uncertainly, "You said this morning that you were transferring to Seoul. Are you going to be a trainee too?"
Park Chorong nodded sheepishly, then whispered, "I passed the JYP audition in July!"
Zheng Chenggong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Haha, then I think you can go to Seoul together!" Zheng Chenggong thought it was very interesting that he would meet two girls who decided to go to Seoul to be trainees, so he laughed, and then... he regretted it.
"Dad, it's so noisy!"
“Ouch!”
"Oh, my ears!"
The little ancestor on his back was awakened by the wild laughter, then frowned and opened his mouth unhappily...
Park Cho-rong was startled for a moment, then covered her mouth and laughed. To be honest, she was still quite afraid of this uncle in the morning, but she was too curious. So she ate lunch there. Later, she found that the uncle was quite nice. Although she didn't know what happened in the morning, she gradually lost her fear. The most important thing was that it was very fun to be with Zheng Xiaoxiao, so she played until dinner time. Then, there was nothing to say, she had a good meal and finally went out for a walk with him.
Zheng Chenggong vaguely felt that this girl was a bit shameless!
After watching the father and daughter play for a while, everyone sat down on the beach . Zheng Xiaoxiao curled up in her father's arms and closed her eyes to rest. Maybe she was too tired from playing this afternoon. The little girl was playing with him, and no one knew why she was making money. To this day, Zheng Chenggong didn't know where she hid the money she earned, nor did he know how much she earned. Every time he asked her, she said it was a secret.
Just sitting facing the sea, the sea breeze blows, and although it brings a little salty and humid air, it is still so refreshing.
"Uncle, can you help me think of a solution? How can I convince my mother?"
Zheng Endi is now starting to worry about how to tell her mother. After Zheng Chenggong mentioned it to her last time, she realized that she should occasionally think about things from her mother's perspective. She also realized that if she doesn't take her mother's feelings into consideration, it can easily hurt a mother's self-esteem.
But Zheng Endi couldn't think of any solution at the moment, so she could only hope that the uncle would help.
Zheng Chenggong held Xiaoxiao in his arms, thought for a moment, and said, "Well, there doesn't seem to be a good solution. No matter what the reason, if you want to go to Seoul to be a trainee, you'll have to leave Busan. But... before that, Eun-ji, I think we need to make you a Busan star first!"
"Ah? Uncle, have you drunk too much? Didn't you only drink two bottles today?"
“Bang!”
"What are you talking about? Uncle just wants to lend you a hand. When the time comes to sign the contract, you can sign a better one. At the same time, you should capitalize on the so-called self-esteem and pride of Busan people and create the concept that Eunji is our Busan child. That way, at least before your debut, you can gain a group of Busan fans!"
"Uncle! Are you drunk? I don't understand what you are saying. I am from Busan!"
Looking at the puzzled Jung Eun-ji, Zheng Chenggong showed an expression of an incorrigible child, then turned his head and looked at Park Cho-rong who was nodding her head and said, "How stupid! Look how quickly Park Cho-rong understood everything!"
Park Cho-rong was stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly, and then replied weakly: "No, I just thought what the uncle said sounded very reasonable and powerful, so I nodded. Actually... I don't know what he said!"
Zheng Chenggong's face darkened, and he sighed heavily before saying rather dejectedly, "Forget it. You just need to know that your trip to Seoul requires my permission. Don't ask why, because you wouldn't understand even if I told you. You just need to know that I will help you and bring you closer to your dream. This is the only way I can help you!"
Jung Eun-ji stared at the uncle blankly, her heart aching, and she suddenly wanted to cry. To be honest, she had really been taken care of a lot during this period. Although the uncle was always lazy, seemed to have no interest in anything, and liked to order her around, she knew that this was just the uncle taking care of her self-esteem.
In Jung Eun-ji's opinion, the uncle is really a good person. Most importantly, the uncle always gives her a little feeling of being a father. Although it is just a little bit, it still makes her feel warm. At this moment, Jung Eun-ji couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, why do you help me so much?"
"There's no reason why, I just wanted to do it. If you really want an answer, it's probably because... I just like you and I just happen to be bored!"
"ah!"
Zheng Chenggong reached out and patted the dazed Jung Eun-ji. Actually, he wasn't lying. At most, he added that he really liked her cheerful personality. As Xiaoxiao's most frequent playmate since arriving in Busan, Jung Eun-ji, like many adults, didn't dislike her at all for her shortcomings. Unlike many naughty kids who tried to bully Xiaoxiao, only to be beaten flat by her little fists and then refuse to play with her again, here, it was the children themselves who didn't like the little girl.
So, Zheng Xiaoxiao really likes playing with Eun-ji. Zheng Chenggong likes her personality very much. Plus, there are really many things he doesn't want to do, so when someone needs help, he can help others, isn't that a good thing?
In Zheng Chenggong's world, there are fewer "whys". Now, except for some things he cannot do yet, he can really do whatever he wants, and there are basically no concerns.
So he was seriously considering helping Jung Eun-ji. Of course, his heart was also itching to do something, so he couldn't help but want to do something.
Then……
"Uncle! Please take me with you!"
Although it was Park Cho-rong's first time in Busan and her first time meeting the uncle, after reading Kang Cao's comics and the introduction in his blog, she didn't think there was anything wrong with the uncle except for what happened this morning. On the contrary, the words between the uncle and the girl just now hit her hard, and her joy of being selected for JYP disappeared instantly. For the first time, she realized the gap between dreams and reality.
Park Cho-rong is two years older than Jung Eun-ji, so she is not a child who knows nothing. Although she doesn't know what the uncle does, she always feels that if she misses this opportunity, she will definitely regret it very much.
So, without any shyness, Park Cho-rong directly spoke out what was in her mind.
Zheng Chenggong, on the other hand, looked at her in astonishment. After a long while, he sighed, "Park Cho-long-si, my feeling was right!"
"Ah? What did you feel?"
"I feel it! You're so thick-skinned!"
"Ahaha! The moon is so round today!"
The sky over Haeundae was now covered with dark clouds. Zheng Chenggong remembered that today's weather forecast said that there would be heavy rain today and tomorrow, which could also be seen as announcing the end of the hot summer.
Zheng Chenggong looked up at the sky helplessly, and what was even more helpless in his heart was, why could he meet the girl who was a trainee everywhere?
Is this some kind of rule? Or is it my fate? Or are all Koreans like this?
What a disaster!
Time flies, and it is the end of September and early autumn, but the weather is still so warm.
The filming of "Haeundae" is still far from over. The destruction scene behind the fishing harbor is being prepared. Although it is impossible to actually summon a flood to submerge the area, equipment such as water trucks are already in place. Today is the day to destroy the "seafood restaurant that only has seafood"...
Yin Jijun had been waiting for this moment for a long time. Never mind the empty talk. Zheng Chenggong had said it was okay to demolish it. He knew that even though the month wasn't over yet, the little girl's snack expenses had already reached 2.1 million, which solidified his resolve to destroy the shed.
Of course, this is not just out of anger, but also to shoot a set of powerful shots. Although the tsunami can be done with CG, we still have to use some powerful real shots, right?
The result is...
After learning about this, the residents began to oppose the filming of "Haeundae" in this area, so that many prepared filming scenes were messed up due to the residents' non-cooperation.
Even some small media outlets noticed it, and they were about to publish news that "the director of 'Haeundae' will destroy residential hotels to create an atmosphere." For a moment, Yoon Je-jun almost cried.
