WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Stop looking at me like a criminal or a failure; trust me one more time because I am going straight.”
💡 Cultural Insight: The Concept of 'Zhengjing' (正经 - Legitimacy and Propriety)

In Chinese society, having a 'zhengjing' job or business means it is socially respectable, legal, and stable. Characters with a dubious past often obsess over doing something 'zhengjing' to reclaim their social face.
