Chapter 1 East Kowloon
Hongdae is not the "Evergrande" that has won the Chinese Super League and dominated the AFC Champions League; Rather, it refers to the neighborhood around Hongik University in South Korea. As one of Korea's most famous art schools, it is a paradise for young people, full of youthful vigor and artistic atmosphere. Walking on the street, it is not difficult to see all kinds of individual, fashionable hipsters. Young artists and people who aspire to pursue a career in art come from far and wide. Every weekend, there are impromptu performances, singing, dancing, and funny, which is very exciting. In addition, there are often performing arts stars in the Hongdae neighborhood, and it is also common to see TV programs recorded here, and many well-known and popular Korean dramas were filmed in Hongdae. If you're lucky, you might even be able to meet your favorite star.
But what really makes "Hongdae" famous is the variety of nightclubs in the surrounding area. The university that teaches and educates people is famous because of the nearby nightclub street, which is ironic and reversed. At ten o'clock every night, the whole neighborhood is filled with crazy men and women waiting in line for inspection, and the smell of hormones fills the entire block.
Due to the stricter inspection, the queue time of the more popular stores is very long. Several nightclubs opened by YG, a well-known Korean brokerage company, started with NB, were even more crowded. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd, and I saw a man in casual clothes about 180 tall, ignoring the snake-like line of nine turns and eighteen turns, and crossed the crowd and went directly into the NB2 store.
"What a noise! That's an in-house employee. If it's noisy, get out of here. ”
The security staff at the door was really imposing, completely ignoring these customers waiting in line. The store bullies customers, which probably refers to this situation. It's a pity that these rampant hormones are bent on entering the field to hunt for beauty, and they are very cowardly to return to the team and pretend to be dead dogs; There was even the slightest bit of resistance. can't steal the show, and deserves to have no dialogue for the rest of his life.
Our protagonist, the daimyo is ashamed to speak up, and he will be scolded by hundreds of millions of people when he says it. Nicknamed Dongjiu, the people of the rivers and lakes are called "Nine Brothers".
"Brother Jiu, is it so early today? It's not eleven o'clock yet. The bartender at the bar diligently poured beer, perhaps the treatment of a handsome man.
"There was no heating in the rental room, so it was too cold to sleep and came over early. Typical mixed sauce noodles with two chicken thighs. No need for beer, a glass of water. ”
Dongjiu is such a strange existence. Before anyone else could begin to sleep, he was already awake; Others come to nightclubs to drink and pick up girls, but he drinks water and eats. This is another sad story, of course the protagonist and the dragon set are treated differently, just like in the TV series, if you don't come to the last few episodes, where is it embarrassing to say that it is a hit drama if you don't have a few episodes of the protagonist's role when he was a child?
Dongjiu, a nicknamed dog, was picked up by the old monk of Youfang when he was a child and returned to the back mountain of the famous Shaolin Si of Huaxia Kingdom. He studied in the legendary backmountain kitchen, and practiced the cooking skills and inexplicable exercises of eating the undead with one hand. According to the old monk who picked him up, it was a Taoist exercise that he got when he made a bet with the bull nose who opened the Taoist temple next door, but fortunately it was not the old monk's child's skill. It's a pity that you can't fly off the wall, and you can't be invulnerable.
Just like that, carefree, eating, sleeping, beating beanie, and mixing until he was a teenager. The state banned these orphanages that operated without a license, and the old monks didn't care, and traveled all over the world in style. Dongjiu changed to a regular orphanage and began to receive compulsory education, so you have to get an official identity, right? Dong Jiu, who knew the grace of the newspaper, followed the old monk's surname Zhao, but the name can't always be called the nickname "Dog". So he cleverly used the homophonic word "construction". One misstep turned into a thousand years of hatred, and the well-known faint monarch Zhao Gou, who killed Yue Fei, was born again!
I don't know if it's the influence of the nameless exercises, or if it's smart in itself; He only entered the school when he was a teenager and had already kept up with the progress in just a few years, and was admitted to FD University, and successfully completed his university studies at the age of 22. At this point in the story, it should have been bitter and sweet; As the CEO, marry Bai Fumei, and embark on the rhythm of the peak of life. It's a pity that the protagonist has always had to go through hardships, and if he doesn't go crazy, he won't be alive.
was cheated by a leather bag company on such lucrative terms as repaying college student loans, and signed a deed of sale without warning. This is actually a non-public organization specializing in foreign commercial espionage, and every year it fools some potential graduates to come in and train before taking up their posts. Regret? Want to do it? The confidentiality clause on the deed of sale, the training fee and so on will teach you what is called a contract trap.
Three years later, Zhao Gou didn't earn a dime, but owed a lot of training fees to the company called X. Dongjiu, the abbreviation of the East Kowloon time zone, the country of kimchi sticks is located in this time zone, and it is also the origin of Zhao Gou's nickname. He was sent to Seoul, South Korea, and his official status is a master's student at Seoul National University. Tuition? Hehe, it's an advance payment again, pay it back slowly. Many celebrities in South Korea are from this university, and the identity of a senior in the same school is conducive to espionage, but fortunately, there is Korean and English content after three years of training, otherwise it will be really blind.
The treatment of our protagonist is only a few hundred words of biography, not too much. There is no prequel or postquel, which is very face-saving.
――――――――――
The hour hand slowly turns, and the atmosphere of the nightclub is getting hotter and hotter; The large dance floor, which claims to accommodate 1,000 people, has become a dance area for demons under the backdrop of top-notch sound and lighting. Part-time work in East Kowloon officially began. It's as simple as subduing the drunk troublemakers and throwing them in the back alleys to the security guards who are already grinding their fists. It is different from taekwondo, which is useless and has to run for half a day with a kick; Dongjiu's close-fitting short fight, instantly defeating the enemy's Huaxia Kung Fu is very suitable for use in crowded occasions such as nightclubs. So Dongjiu is very relaxed and freehand here, a proper double-flower red stick.
"Brother Jiu. It doesn't seem like a big deal today. Do you want to go up and rest first, and have a health care or something? "Although Dongjiu is a temporary worker, the position is not high; But the skills are not covered, who among the security guards doesn't want to learn a trick and a half? So from time to time, I ask for a big health care or something.
"You also know that I'm not good at this, our martial arts practitioners are the most self-cultivation, don't indulge in lust, wine hurts the body, balabala" Dongjiu said a lot of high-sounding words, in fact, he just didn't look down on it.
"It's only been a few days since the game was launched, and those energetic fighting kings are probably staying at home to kill monsters and vent. Now there are just some Sven beasts here, and if you really want to make trouble, you can just pack up the goods. I'll go back to sleep first, and you can watch more. ”
Dong Kowloon blatantly left early, anyway, he works part-time in a nightclub, can he still clock in and out?
Although it was already 3 o'clock in the morning, there were still many snack shops near Hongdae Nightclub Street that were open all night. Instead of foraging for food in the brightly lit shops, Dong Jiu stopped outside a pitch-black chicken feet store with more than half of the doors closed. Looking around, he turned around, and instantly jumped into the darkness, as if he had never come.
"I thought you were going to come later. If you don't have any snacks ready, let's eat some chicken feet to deal with it. ”
The person who spoke was Kim Jong-min and was Dong-kyu's liaison in South Korea. It is said that he used to be a businessman, specializing in Sino-Korean trade, and in 1998, during the Asian financial crisis, he was about to jump off the building, and was absorbed by Company X. Opened such a small store in South Korea as a point of contact.
"The case of Ssangyong last time was pretty much like that. It should have been done by the Indians. After Dong Jiu finished speaking, he handed over a USB flash drive.
"It's just that the people over there didn't hurry up, they bought 49% of the shares in 2004, and now they haven't been able to completely control the situation in 2010. Workers' strikes and bankruptcies have been resorted, and the Chinese side will not be able to withdraw if they want to. I just didn't think it was the Indian who planned it. Alas, this turned out to be the fourth largest automobile company in South Korea, which used to specialize in the production of military cars and high-performance off-road vehicles for the United States, and its technical strength in the high-end market is very good, which is a pity. Kim Jong-min shook his head with a sip of wine.
"There's no way to change that. South Korea's workers' unions are very bullish, and the chairmen of many large companies have turned around and bribed the chairmen of the unions. Even if this case is over, the information is in the USB flash drive, you can report it. What other cases are not? ”
Dongjiu still owes the company a lot of debts, so he expects that the bonus for completing the case can be deducted.
"There are two more, one is to instigate Han Geng to quit S. M returned to Huaxia, and some people in China were unhappy that they Super-junior always went back to circle money in the name of Han Geng. The second was commissioned by Penguin to investigate a software company called Kakao in South Korea. It's just that the offer is not very high, do you want to take it? Kim Jong-min also took out a pen and paper and wrote the price codes of the two tasks.
"What kind of celebrity is this, you have to deal with people. You know, I'm not very familiar with this kind of work. Let's take the second one, go in quietly, don't shoot a gun; How convenient it is to steal some information or something, and you don't have to deal with people. ”
Dong Jiu has such a growth experience, and after graduation, he was tricked into signing a deed of sale, and he has social phobia, so it's not surprising that he doesn't like to communicate with strangers or anything.
"Okay, anyway, you can't pick it up if you want to, Han Geng has already returned to China. On the South Korean side, there is only a lawsuit left to be over. You can take it easy with Kakao, it's a computer company, and surveillance equipment is absolutely indispensable. Be careful. I don't want to change partners again in just a few months. Kim Jong-min still has a good impression of this new partner, acting in a low-key manner, and handling cases actively and efficiently.
"Ah. It took me so much effort to get a master's degree student at Seoul National University, and I will definitely cherish it. In the future, when I quit the company, I will eat it with this bastard. ”
After finishing the business, Dong Jiu rolled up a few large bags of chicken feet and ran away. Poor students, except for nightclubs at night where they can mix delicious food, the rest of the time is instant noodles and instant noodles.
