The young Caucasian man had a drastic change of expression. He pushed Zhang Lisheng away hard but he did not do anything. He threatened Zhang Lisheng, "Brat, I'll teach you a lesson if we're not going to class soon." He then ran away without turning his head.
Looking at his silhouette, Zhang Lisheng smiled dumbfoundedly. Just when he was about to continue walking to the teaching building, a skinny black young man who was about the same height as him suddenly walked up to him hesitantly and took the initiative to strike up a conversation in a low voice, "Cool."
"Hmm?"
"You were cool just now, you scared Jason away right away.
He's actually a coward who only knows how to suck up to a big guy. He picked up a guy who looked easy to bully and bullied him.
But it's still cool, "The black young man said while pouting.
"Thanks."
"New student?"
"Yes, Zhang Lisheng. I just transferred here from China."
"George Lint, Lowbige Junior High Grade-10 student. You can call me George."
"You can call me Lisheng too."
"Nice to meet you, Lisheng," The black young man, George stood still and waved his fist before Zhang Lisheng.
"Nice to meet you too, George," Zhang Lisheng answered passively, not minding.
"Bump fists buddy. Bump fists with me and we'll be friends."
Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment and bumped fists with George.
"Cool," George said while waving his arm.
Zhang Lisheng smiled and ignored George this time because he thought his behavior was weird.
"I used to live in Queens. That place was terrible. Later, my dad was lucky enough to win a game of Powerball, so we moved to Brooklyn.
Actually, if it wasn't because my genius brother didn't want to win the first prize and my dad spent too much on women, I'd be living in Manhattan and studying at Fordham University.
Oh yeah, you're from China, are you an exchange student? "George proceeded to babble without any rhyme or reason.
"No."
"Then your parents migrated to America. That must be it, the way the world is now …"
"I'm not an exchange student, I'm a Chinese who happened to be born in America.
As a minor, I could only come to America to be raised by my mother. " Listening to George's long-winded monologue, Zhang Lisheng told him his origin helplessly. After all, the young man was not used to being indifferent to others who took the initiative to be friendly.
Then, because he had something on his mind, he casually asked, "By the way, George, you've been living in New York. Do you know where I can buy a lot of raw meat?
It doesn't have to be too fresh, but it has to be cheap. "
"Don't you know that there's a lot of raw meat at the Dan Souza Butcher Shop that I work at?" George said in what he thought was a joke, "I'm just kidding, your needs are very special. If you asked someone else, they'd definitely be shocked.
Let me guess what you want to do with these things. Oh, oh, oh, it must be to process extraordinary meat products, it must be so.
You Chinese people love to do this in New York, young and old alike. But speaking of which, there are even fewer illegal food processors among high school students than drug dealers.
Put rotten meat and rats in a meat grinder to make mincemeat, add delicious secret seasonings that are harmful to the human body, fill sausages, and sell them cheaply to poor niggers like me, if I lived in Queens.
Why would you talk about such an illegal trade directly in front of a black man you just met?! "
Zhang Lisheng, who was just asking casually, opened his mouth and was stunned for a while before replying, "Aren't we friends? Not only that, you don't look like an ordinary person."
"You know what's good for you, young man? You know what's good for you. You can see the extraordinary, the, the …"
"Inside."
"That's right, inside.
Leave everything to me, my friend. As a black man who grew up in Queens and works in a butcher shop, I can get enough 'dead cats and dogs' to supply the entire Queens.
But you still have to pay. Do you have enough start-up capital for your illegal food processor? Do you? "
"I only have a credit card, and it's registered in China. It can only be used at the fixed parade stores in New York …"
"That's enough, China Galaxy's credit is more reliable than Citibank's in New York, but you'll need to pay more commission when you pay.
Can you give me some of the sausages you produce for free? Although they're poisonous, they taste great, I miss them a little. "
Both of them walked into the school building as they spoke.
In the crowded hall, George asked again, "What class are you taking?"
"Classical Music Appreciation," Zhang Lisheng said after being stunned for a moment, it was his first time looking at the schedule that Rachel arranged for him.
"Classical Music Appreciation? Damn, Lowbige even has such an elective class. Do you know, my friend? You're an extraordinary person too.
Alright, let's exchange phone numbers, Facebook and Twitter accounts, keep in touch. "
"My phone number is …" Zhang Lisheng told him his home phone number and the Facebook and Twitter accounts that he had just registered. After noting down George's various contact information, he waved his hand and said, "Goodbye, George."
"Goodbye, my friend. I'll let you know as soon as I get anything that you need."
"Thanks."
After George left, Zhang Lisheng looked for the classical music appreciation classroom in front of the computer that looked like a stock trading machine by the wall of the school building hall. He then officially began his high school life in America.
If one did not wish to get into a famous university like the Ivy League, the life of a high school student in America was actually very leisurely.
More than ten days passed by uneventfully. Zhang Lisheng seemed to be completely familiar with the life in America while Lili did not pay too much attention to him carefully anymore.
Seeing that the time was right, Zhang Lisheng planned to carry out the first step of his plan.
It was rare that Sullo did not work overtime on Friday night. He returned home on time and had dinner with his family.
Sullo, who was hiding his worry between his brows, forced himself to be cheerful in front of his family. Zhang Lisheng asked all of a sudden, "Mom. Uncle Sullo, I'm planning to work with my friend starting tomorrow, is that okay? "
"Baby, don't you have enough pocket money?" Lili was stunned for a moment and asked immediately.
"No, no, my dear, let Lisheng continue," Sullo stopped Lili from being overly concerned and said while putting down his fork, "Continue, Lisheng."
"My new friend, George, he's the black kid who always comes to me. He's working part-time at Dan Souza Butcher Shop.
In the end, his boss said that the business is expanding and he wants to hire a batch of part-time workers. I'm planning to try, is that okay? "
"Oh baby, how can a high school student work at a butcher shop …"
"But there's no part-time job for a short guy like me at the burger shop and gas station near the school, mom."
"Lili, don't bother about the butcher shop or whatever. I used to sell spider eggs at a pet shop in New Jersey when I was young.
I think we should let Lisheng try. His request is completely reasonable and it's something worth encouraging, isn't it? "Sullo supported her.
Lili hesitated for a moment. Since she had no reason to object, she could only ask, "What about the working hours?"
"Every day from 4 am to 7 pm after school, 9 am to 4 pm on Saturday and Sunday."
"Oh my god, isn't that even busier than an adult working?!"
"Mom, this is just my initial plan. I'll naturally reduce the working hours if I'm tired."
"It's a good thing to have a plan and know your limits, I support you," Sullo said while smiling.
"Alright then, Lisheng, you can work but you must tell us immediately if there's any problem," Lili said while nodding after thinking for a while.
"Of course mom, thanks," Zhang Lisheng was relieved and said softly.
At that moment, a news cut flashed on the television in the dining room. Sullo who was smiling put down his fork by instinct and turned up the volume with the remote control.
'It's reported that this is the third murder case this month.
All of the victims were tortured brutally after their limbs were broken. Their ribs were broken and their organs were pierced to death in the end.
The criminal left the words' Folding the Doctor '(Dr. Fracture) on the victims' hair, blood and superglue at the crime scene.
It proves that this criminal knows the New York police's incompetence very well since he managed to write the longest nickname of a serial killer in American history … '
Sullo could not help but scream in rage hearing the news' comment on the police, "Damn it, what does this idiot know? We've tried our best …"
"Dear, you're saying that in front of the kids," Lili reminded gently while holding her lover's hand that was waving.
"I'm sorry, kids. Remember that you guys didn't hear anything just now.
Also, try not to go out at night, especially to those messy parties, "Sullo said the last sentence while staring at his eldest son, Randy in all seriousness. His authority as a parent was on full display.
The kids nodded one after another, dinner ended on a sour note just like that.
After dinner, Zhang Lisheng returned to his room with the excuse of doing his homework. Just when he turned off the light and climbed into bed, he heard knocking on the door all of a sudden.
"Mom, is that you?" Zhang Lisheng sighed and climbed off the bed.
"It's not Aunt Lili, it's me, Michelle. Open the door now."
Zhang Lisheng turned on the light in shock hearing that it was Michelle. He asked after opening the door, "Is anything the matter?"
"Little fella, let's talk in the room." Michelle squeezed into the room directly and sat on Zhang Lisheng's bed, "Do you know that your friend George has been using you?"
"Hmm?"
"He's a skinny black kid from Queens … Basically, he's a famous doormat that anyone could step on.
However, he's always around you now because you're Aunt Lili's kid and Aunt Lili is Lowbige Junior High's student advisor. Moreover, Randy is the linebacker of the school's football team, the naughty students would respect him, so … "
"Michelle, you don't have to explain in such detail. I understand such a simple relationship."
"So?"
"So I'm happy to be able to help George. After all, it's wrong to bully people for no reason."
Michelle was stunned and said speechlessly, "Of course, you're right. But … but friendship shouldn't involve using each other, right?"
"Are you concerned about me?" Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment and asked.
"Of course not," Michelle jumped up from the bed and said loudly, "I just … I just happened to know about this. I'm afraid that you'll become the doormat in school one day when Lily and Randy's deterrence to the bad students isn't strong enough. If that happens, I'll lose my face too.
We're staying in the same house after all. "
