Chapter 71 - Singing the erotic song (1/2)
This is a three-inch color photograph of a girl who looks very beautiful. She looks pure and has a clean smile, wearing a school uniform with long hair, looks only sixteen or seventeen years old. I can vaguely see Juan’s appearance in the picture.
This thing Jim arranges to me is far beyond my expectation!
Juan has a daughter? And this daughter, unexpectedly, has been hiding out of everyone’s sight for so many years?!
In Jim’s words: “In Juan’s capacity, many things are involuntary, and he has to be prepared and to prevent the accidents.” Juan’s expectation for this daughter is also lamentable.
Jim tells me before he leaves: “Little 5, as the same expectation to you… Juan’s expectation to her is that she would never touch this circle in her life and live in a clean life of an ordinary people!”
I am shocked by the reason of this secret has been kept for so long. Juan has only seen this girl three times in all these years! And they were all from afar! Never had any contact with this girl! Even the girl herself doesn’t know that she has such a father with complex identities! Moreover, all the caring for the girl was left to Jim.
Jim is very secretive in his work, and has been secretly helping girls deal with all kinds of troubles in recent years.
Now, within the whole world, including me, there are only three people know this girl’s relationship with Juan. Me, Juan, and Jim!
Dorra Ni, female, eighteen years old, born out of wedlock, grow up with mother. At the age of fourteen, her mother died of illness. She lives with her grandmother. At the age of sixteen, her grandmother died too. So far, she lives alone. Father is said already emigrated to United States and never met her. After her mother’s death, she has received a monthly alimony remittance from US. It’s not much, but enough to pay for her living and tuition.
She is studying at a foreign language high school in the city. She will graduate next year and then study abroad, a small and famous university in the US. It’s arranged by her father.
There is not much conspicuous in this information.
At least in Dorra Ni’s foreign language high school, almost 30% of graduates will study abroad every year. And the family conditions of the students in this school are mostly very good… Of course, fees are also very high.
At the age of eighteen, she doesn’t know that the so-called father she has never met, who settles in the United States, doesn’t exist at all!
These are all the information on my hand. Jim handled all these things. His only request to me is: “Don’t tell her the truth. When she arrives US the next year, Juan will have the arrangement then.”
Jim is with Juan side so that there’s risk to do it himself now. I am the little manager who have resigned from one of his nightclubs. By comparison, my identity is much safer and no one will notice me as a nobody. No one knows my personal relationship with Juan previously. In a word: I am an outsider!
Jim also leaves a bank card with a sum of money. Then he leaves without any other word, just pats my shoulder once.
I go back home, lock myself in my room and check the things in the envelope carefully.
“You are different with us. In the past, neither Juan nor I could approach her in order to keep the secret. But you don’t have these worries. Juan means he wants you to take care of her more carefully. She is still young, and he worries that a girl at such a young age, living alone, can hardly take good care of herself. Because I couldn’t get close to her before, I could only help her deal with some minor troubles secretly. But after all, I couldn’t do too much. It’s depending on you now.”
I laugh bitterly as I think of Jim’s words over and over.
What should I do? I could have approached the girl. But, how could I? Shall I go to see her and say to the other girl: “Hey, little sister, let your brother little 5 take care of you in the future!”
Damn! If I really say that, it won’t be strange to be kicked out as a hooligan.
I’ve been thinking until the morning is broken. Later that morning, I call Yanny to take one day leave. It’s good to have her in the office so that I don’t have to stay there all the time.
Then I call Azle.
“Have you got up?”
At the other end of the phone, his voice is vague, sleepless obviously: “No… You know it’s immoral to interrupt someone’s sleep.”
“Get up quickly! Let’s drive to the University Town!”
Azle on the other end of the phone is stunned for a few seconds, and then the sleepiness in his voice has been swept away! He howls in a spring-hearted tone: “Good! I’ll drive to your place in half an hour.”
He hangs up before I can speak.
University Town is located in the eastern suburbs of the city, is a large area of the city which integrates more than a dozen universities. It’s not too far from the city, just about ten kilometers away. Along the way, it has been developed very well, surrounded by greenery on both sides, and the environment is also good. The most pleasant thing is that the place is vast. Just one word: big!
In recent years, this area has been developed into a considerable scale! There are more than a dozen universities and hundreds of thousands of students in the whole University Town. Later, there were even many middle schools and even elementary schools that set up branch schools here! There are also some famous universities even have their own affiliated secondary schools set up here!
Gradually, the area has become a famous education district in the city, with hundreds of thousands of College students, middle school pupils, school teachers and school workers. So many people come and immediately revitalize the local economy!
There are several advantages of running a school here: first, the land is cheap! Schools in the city are pitifully small, and the land in the city is an inch of land of an inch of gold! Here’s different. Here opens for the land requirments to build schools! Then a lot of monies are invested to build the magnificent buildings. Even the auditorium in any middle school has been built with the same momentum as the Olympic venues; school doors are built like the Arc de Triomphe; teaching buildings are built like the Pentagon; playgrounds are built according to the international standards of the first-class stadium and walking around is the first-class plastic runway.
First, make the looks beautiful, and then claim to be an aristocratic school, tuition fees are seven or eight times at least!
As for the quality of teaching, the school is more concerned about efficiency! Industrialization of education!
Those universities are desperately expanding and rebuilding! Anyway, it’s the national policy now. Universities are expanding enrollment, and a large number of students will send money to them in large quantities.
The foreign language school which Dorra Ni is studying in was also set up here too. That high school is also famous for its high tuition fees. One year’s tuition and fees are tens of thousands! Ordinary people’s families can’t afford such a school at all. Plus other expenses, accommodation expenses, throughout the whole learning cycle, you need to spend nearly two hundred thousand.
Of course, expensive also has its advantages. At least the dormitory in the school is not the traditional kind of dormitory building. A room should have four bunk beds, seven or eight people living together. The dormitories here are all small apartments, each student has a separate dormitory.
As for why I am so familiar with the University Town, it’s a bit nasty.
Once upon a time, I, Azle and Jojo were three perverts. One of our favorite things was to drive Azle’s fancy car and go to the University Town to date the student girls.
In Azle’s words: “Who is still dating girl in the Bar nowadays? It’s too fucking outdated! High-end hooligans are dating girls in the universities now!”
How? Simple!
