Chapter 1424 - Doing What You Say
Seeing that the time was approaching noon, everyone did not delay any longer, divided into several groups, and began to carry coal to the trolley.
This time, in addition to artists such as Cui Zhengyuan, Luo Jingyuan, and Sean, some of them are subordinates who came with Luo Jingyuan.
Because there were men and women among them, they were simply disrupted, and every few people were responsible for one cart.
Here, Choi Jung-won took Dae-sung, Kyu-hyun, Ji-yeon, and three staff members to take the initiative to grab a cart with the largest load.
Choi Jung-won and Dae-sung jumped onto the truck and were in charge of unloading the cargo. Kyu-hyun and another male staff member were in charge of the handling. The three women are responsible for the placement of the honeycomb coals.
A single honeycomb coal is not very heavy, but more than a dozen put together, the weight is not light.
Cui Zhengyuan and the others only carried back and forth a few times, and they couldn't feel the cold weather. At a glance, the corners of Dacheng's eyes had begun to sweat.
"Dacheng, it's okay to go out with Brother Sean for more activities, your physique is too weak." Choi Jung-won joked.
Dacheng was embarrassed and carried the coal. "Inside, got it, Brother Zhengyuan, can your company's gym be used?"
Of all the Korean entertainment companies, A.P is the only one with a fully functional gym. This alone makes many artists envious.
"Okay, I'll give you a 20% discount. This is for the sake of Brother Shi and Brother Zhong Guo's face, and it can't be cheaper. Cui Zhengyuan's stingy boss posture made Dacheng helpless.
It is impossible for such a large group of people to gather here in a noisy manner without alarming the local residents. Soon an old man in his fifties appeared at the end of the path and walked slowly through the snow.
Seeing the old man, Choi Jung-won and Sean jumped out of the car together and greeted him.
"Uncle Li, why are you here?" Cui Zhengyuan walked first and hugged the old man.
Sean did the same, apparently familiar with the old man.
"Hey, one ancient. Our executive Cui, and our Shenghuan. It's such a cold weather, and for the sake of us people, thank you for your hard work. Seeing the scene of the hot work, the corners of the old man's eyes became moist.
"Uncle, how is the situation at home this year? Jeong-hwan is coming back, right? Cui Zhengyuan asked enthusiastically.
The old man nodded, and when he talked about his children, he finally had a smile of anticipation on his face. "It's almost there, and in two months, this kid will be demobilized."
At this time, Luo Jingyuan saw that she was chatting here. Also walked over. Cui Zhengyuan hurriedly introduced the two sides. "Aunt Luo, this is Nine. Uncle Li Yi, vice chairman of the Long District Residents' Committee. â
Then he said to Li Yi: "Uncle Li, this is Ms. Luo Jingyuan, a member of Congress. She is very concerned about everyone's life, so she is here today to visit the field. â
Hearing that the beautiful and elegant lady in front of him was a politician, Li Yi, who was originally smiling, instantly turned cold.
He didn't care that the camera was in front of him, and said stiffly: "What is there to investigate?" Isn't it all right in front of you? If the government had a will, it would have come a long time ago, so why wait until today? â
Luo Jingyuan, who choked on this, was a little embarrassed. Fortunately, she has been in politics for so many years, and she has not experienced any kind of scene.
So the smile on his face has not changed, and he asked kindly, "Uncle, it seems that you are very familiar with Zhengyuan?" â
Speaking of Choi Jung-won and Sean. Li Yi's face regained a smile. "They come several times a year to help with some heavy work, and some elderly people will contact the hospital when they are sick. Zhengyuan has always said that he will try his best to find a way to renovate this place. Don't let us live in such a shabby, dangerous house. They are all good boys, they have nothing to do with us, but they always think about us. â
That's what the old man looks like. As soon as the conversation box opens, it will go on and on. "We don't have electricity or heating here. Every winter, we can only rely on coal for heating, but unfortunately everyone has no money, and buying coal is a big burden. Since 10 years ago, 80 percent of the coal used every winter has been paid by Zhengyuan. Sometimes he was too busy to come, and he kept asking someone to apologize to us. Really, such a good boy, who is willing to blame him. â
The old man's words were confirmed by Sean, "Uncle is right, the biggest sponsor of the coal organized by our event is Executive Cui. On average, he donates about 300 million yuan a year, which helps our activities very well. â
While the old man was talking to Sean, Luo Jingyuan had been listening quietly.
She really didn't expect that many times Cui Zhengyuan, who is now insidious and cunning and mercenary, would be such a caring person behind his back.
The most rare thing is that he has done so many good deeds, but he has never preached it everywhere. If it weren't for the old man and Sean talking about it, I believe many people wouldn't know about his righteous deeds.
300 million a year, and in ten years, he donated 3 billion just by donating. With the addition of donations, he has contributed even more.
is not like those artists, who have done a little charity activity, and they can't wait to publicize it all over the world before they stop. For more than ten years, Cui Zhengyuan has never talked about it to the outside world, and it has never been reported.
As the most watched star and idol in South Korea, he has always been low-key and dedicated. This is the real act of love.
Obviously, he was praised for his merits, but Cui Zhengyuan didn't look happy at all.
Looking at the dilapidated scene in front of him, his face was still full of worry. Walking to a house not far in front of him, he lifted the plastic sheet covering it with his hands.
Underneath the plastic sheeting are two layers of thick quilts, apparently used to protect against the cold.
Underneath this, the nailed messy and irregular planks are revealed. It can be seen that this house was very sloppy when it was built.
Not only are the planks nailed messily, but there are also large gaps in the middle. Through the gaps, the bare walls of the house can be faintly seen.
This is the real environment of a family in this shantytown, but the local residents have been living here for a long time.
I heard a noise outside the house, and an old lady came out from under a thick quilt on a damaged bed inside. After squinting for a long time, he finally put on a shabby down jacket and walked out.
The old lady came outside and finally recognized the person in front of her. "Ouch. It's our Zhengyuan and Shenghuan who are coming. Aren't you busy? What are you doing standing outside in such a cold weather? Come into the house quickly, and my aunt will boil water for you to drink. â
The old lady was very enthusiastic, pulling Choi Jung-won with one hand and Sean with the other, intending to drag them into the house. As for the others next to her, she didn't glance at them from beginning to end.
Cui Zhengyuan grabbed her and said with a smile: "Aunt Meilan, don't worry, we still have a lot of work to do today." It's too late to rest when you're done. Otherwise, you won't be able to finish your busy work when it gets dark. â
The old lady saw the hill-like coal on the truck in the distance, sighed, and reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes. "We useless old fellows are really a burden to live. I'm giving you so much trouble every year. â
Sean hugged Aunt Meilan and said with the warmest smile, "Eh, what's the matter?" Isn't it necessary for people to help each other in life? Auntie, you're alone, and you're old. We don't have any peace of mind. â
Luo Jingyuan tried to ask, "Auntie, why don't you go to a nursing home for a person like you?" Isn't the government building a lot of welfare centers for the elderly, and there are people to take care of them? It's better than here. â
Aunt Meilan snorted coldly, "We don't trust politicians, they will never fulfill their promises." Twenty years ago, the government said it would renovate the place. Facilities for the elderly have been built, but they have not been seen to this day. â
Luo Jingyuan gritted her teeth, and her cold eyes were full of anger that could not be hidden. "It seems that it is necessary to communicate with the relevant departments."
She is a member of Congress. It seems that he is ready to use his power to interfere in this matter.
The audience who was watching the live broadcast couldn't help but be a little excited.
Looking at the people living in such a dirty and messy area, they can't help but feel compassion in their hearts. Now that there are political figures with real power, it should be solved soon.
Cui Zhengyuan also introduced Luo Jingyuan to Aunt Meilan in a timely manner, and then said with a smile: "Auntie, this time Congressman Luo Jingyuan came here to solve the life problems here." It won't be long before everyone's good days come. â
Aunt Meilan held Cui Zhengyuan's hand, but her face was sad and indissolvable. "Don't count on it, it hasn't been resolved for so many years, we've given up. Good boy, don't run anymore, everyone knows that you have suffered a lot over the years. Don't do any more hopeless struggles, we're all old anyway and don't have a few years left to live. â
Cui Zhengyuan felt a little cold in the corners of his eyes, quickly wiped it, put on a smiling face, and said the good news he was hiding. "Uncle Li Yi, Aunt Meilan, there is something I haven't told you yet. I'd like you both to tell you about it today. That is, this land has been bought by me half a month ago. â
These words seemed to be a heavy thunderbolt, which made Uncle Li Yi and Aunt Meilan stand on the spot and did not respond for a long time.
Just when everyone was worried about the state of the two old men, Aunt Meilan suddenly collapsed on the ground. While slapping the ground desperately, he howled and cried. "Jing Hao, Jing Hao's father, did you hear that? Zhengyuan bought the land, and finally bought it! In the future, there will be no stinky gutters, and we will have street lights. Did you hear that? â
Sean wiped away tears while explaining to Luo Jingyuan. "Ten years ago, around this time, Aunt Meilan's husband and son came back from work on the construction site in the middle of the night. Because it was dark and he couldn't see the road clearly, Jing Hao fell into a deep ditch, and the uncle jumped in order to save him. As a result, the weather was too cold, and neither of them came up. â
Luo Jingyuan seemed to have been hit by a sledgehammer, and her body swayed for a while, so she didn't fall down. Fortunately, So-yeon always followed her and helped her in time.
Sean continued: "It was the first time that Executive Director Cui came here to do public welfare, and when he heard about it, he was very touched, so he immediately approached the government, hoping to solve the problem here. â
He wiped away his tears and said with a wry smile: "Speaking of which, the government can't be blamed for the situation here, because the land here is private, and if you want to develop it, there are too many restrictions." This is the fundamental reason why zĂ i has always existed here, and there is nothing the government can do. â
Speaking of this, he pointed to Cui Zhengyuan, who was silently comforting Aunt Meilan, and said: "Since then, Executive Cui has been looking for the owner of this land and discussing the purchase. After ten years, he finally did it. â
South Korea is privately owned land, and even the government is powerless without the permission of the landowner. However, those who can hold land are generally wealthy people with great wealth and power.
Such people are not short of money in most cases, and it is unrealistic to expect them to sell their land.
Nine. The owner of the land of the dragon is the Anton Zhang family, and it is a great family in Korea. In order to buy the land, Cui Zhengyuan followed up for ten years.
Finally, not long ago, the Zhang family was moved by his sincerity and agreed to sell.
Although the end result was good, the people here have been waiting for ten years. It is also thanks to Cui Zhengyuan's perseverance and perseverance that he has never given up for more than ten years, so that they have waited for this good news.
Sean looked at Choi Jung-won adoringly, with a thick fanaticism in his tone. "Ten years ago, standing here, Executive Cui personally told everyone that he would definitely buy this land and transform it into a livable environment. At that time, no one had much expectation, and in the following decade, the good news was far away, and everyone was about to forget. Unexpectedly, Executive Director Cui did what he said, and finally did it. â
Luo Jingyuan walked over silently, stroking Cui Zhengyuan's hair, her heart full of regret.
For a promise, he traveled for ten years. are all people who have nothing to do with him, but he has no regrets.
Especially such a large piece of land, it cannot be bought without tens of billions. For this reason, Cui Zhengyuan's hard work and financial resources are even more amazing.
Obviously, the people here can't give him anything in return, and being able to do this is impossible to explain except for noble sentiments and a sense of responsibility to pity the world. (To be continued......)
