/ Urban / Zhinwei: The Funny Bodyguard
What is honor?
Living in a rat race, I try to make ends meet for my family who depends on me.
After graduating from university, I immediately looked for a job. But soon I realized the bitter reality of being a product of an unknown college. I had no choice but to take on multiple part-time jobs though the salary was just enough to get us by. This went on for three years until one day, Mr. Lim, a patron from the restaurant I was working at, offered me a job in his company as a bodyguard.
"zhinwei, you are a criminology graduate. Don't waste your skills and knowledge washing dishes and cleaning toilets," he said calmly---his voice warm yet with unmistakable stoicism.
I have been a practical man. Whatever helps my family, I would do it, so I agreed. I would say, it has been the best decision I made.
Working as his bodyguard not only opened my eyes to beautiful dangers but also gave me opportunities to indulge in endless euphoria. Most importantly, with his help, I slowly slithered to the top of the food chain, shaking the foundation of the most powerful conglomerates that controlled the city.
What is honor you ask?
I am yet to answer.
