beep beep...
Chen Xu woke up to the sound of the phone's alarm clock, fumbled to turn off the phone's alarm clock, and sat up.
At this time, the sky was still dark, and the surroundings were pitch black, only a faint white light came in from the small window, which was the street lamp outside.
He turned on the switch next to the bed, and the LED bulb above his head lit up a dazzling white light. This is an attic that is not too spacious. The roof is high in the middle and low on both sides. It is covered with tiles and has no insulation at all.
He rubbed his face and forced himself to get up from the warm blanket, only to feel the whizzing cold.
In the cold winter, this is undoubtedly a very painful thing, especially when it is still dark.
After getting up, he hurriedly changed into sportswear, walked downstairs from the step ladder, brushed his teeth, and washed his face. Then in the store, I did a warm-up for a while.
When he was almost ready, he opened the rolling gate, and a gust of cold wind blew in his face, making him shiver.
After locking the door again, he glanced at the electronic watch in his hand and recorded the time. Exhaling a breath, it turned into a white mist and dispersed, and started to run.
The buildings here are relatively old, and the street lamps are also of the old style, not very bright, and one can only be seen after more than 20 meters.
It was very quiet everywhere, and occasionally a dog barking could be heard.
When approaching the intersection, there was a stall selling steamed stuffed buns, with a lamp lit, and a white mist could be seen rising from a long distance away.
On the street at five o'clock in the morning, he seemed to have found a sense of being in a dream.
A few minutes later, he ran out of the scope of the village in the city, arrived at the nearest square, and ran around the square.
In winter, there are many people doing morning exercise here, most of them are middle-aged and elderly people.
In the middle of the square stands a big lamp, the orange light illuminates the square. There are already some aunts dancing square dances there.
Chen Xu somewhat admired their perseverance.
You can also meet some people who are running, mostly middle-aged and elderly people.
Chen Xu didn't deliberately control the speed, and after running for two laps, he was a little out of breath. He glanced at his watch, he had been running for ten minutes, and he gritted his teeth and continued to persist.
After running around again, for thirteen minutes, he finally slowed down, panting vigorously while walking, the cold air entered his lungs along his mouth, making him feel a little prickly in his chest. It hurts, and the throat is very dry, very uncomfortable.
He took out the stainless steel thermos cup from his pocket, poured some water into the lid, and drank it in small sips to moisten his mouth and throat.
After drinking, he recapped the thermos and stuffed it back into his pocket.
He didn't stop to rest, and just walked slowly like this. After walking for a few minutes, the uncomfortable feeling in his lungs that was about to go numb finally eased away, and his breathing gradually calmed down.
He walked around and felt that he had almost recovered. He glanced at his watch, rested for about 30 minutes, and started running again.
Fifteen minutes later.
He once again felt the uncomfortable feeling that his lungs were about to burst out, and he almost couldn't run anymore.
At this time, a middle-aged man who was somewhat bald happened to pass by. Seeing him like this, he said, "Young man, just start running, don't run too fast all at once, and be careful not to hurt yourself."
Chen Xu was panting fiercely, and forced a smile on his face to express his gratitude.
The man quickly ran away. Chen Xu put his hands on his waist, and walked forward step by step, feeling uncomfortable, but a surge of joy spontaneously rose in his heart.
Today is the second day after he got up for running in the morning. He was out of breath from the first five minutes of running, and now he has persisted for fifteen minutes. It can be said that he has made rapid progress.
After getting the basic "endurance" card, his recovery ability has been greatly improved. No matter how tired you are, if you rest for a while, you will recover quickly.
What he is using now is the simplest and crudest exercise method. Reach the limit of the body time and time again, run until you can't run in one breath, take a rest, then continue to run, rest when you are tired, and then continue to run.
Every time, he can clearly feel his progress. This feeling is really great, compared to the physical fatigue, it's nothing at all.
Just like playing a game, although the leveling process is boring, after the character is upgraded, all attributes are improved, and I feel very satisfied and motivated again.
Chen Xu's current situation is similar, he is almost addicted to practice, and he can't stop.
...
Before I knew it, it was dawn.
After Chen Xu ran the fourth trip, he found that there were more and more people around him. He glanced at the time and found that it was already half past seven, so he walked back.
I bought breakfast on the way, and when I got back to the rented house, Chen Ziqi was already awake, lying in bed, wearing earphones, reciting English.
"Well, don't come here." When she looked up, she pinched her nose with disgust on her face, "What have you been doing these two days, you're sweating all over your body."
"Eat your breakfast."
Chen Xu put down the rice rolls in his hand, took his clothes, and went into the bathroom.
After taking a shower, having breakfast, he went to work.
Today is a rather special day. When he came to the company, he obviously felt that the atmosphere was much more enthusiastic than usual.
"Chen Xu, tell me, Mr. Liu said that there is overtime pay, is it really worth it?" Even Dai Zixin, who has always been carefree, is also looking forward to it.
"Hard to say."
Chen Xu felt that with Liu Kun's behavior style, his words should not count, but he didn't say anything.
In his previous advertising department, he didn't work much overtime. He would work overtime for an hour or two at the end of the year, the busiest year. In the end, he gave a symbolic bonus as overtime pay. Like the stipulated payment method, it really didn't exist. . A little helpless, but it's reality.
As usual, today is the day of salary payment, affected by this, everyone is a little absent-minded.
After the regular meeting in the morning, Secretary Guo thoughtfully handed out everyone's salary slips.
"You will go to the personnel department in a while." When it was sent to Chen Xu, Secretary Guo mentioned it.
Chen Xu knew it well, it should be about his resignation. After receiving the salary slip, I opened it and was a little surprised that the actual salary actually exceeded 10,000. Looking at the entries, the bulk is overtime pay.
Mr. Liu is very generous.
He was happy in his heart, the money came too timely, and he also had a good impression of Liu Kun.
Looking at the other colleagues, each one is also happy.
I believe that from now on, everyone's enthusiasm for work will rise to a higher level.
Just like what he said to Liu Kun last time, as long as the overtime pay is in place, hard work is nothing.
Chen Xu went to the personnel department as he said, and the person who received him was still the tall and thin Supervisor He.
"I'm looking for you this time because of your work adjustment." Director He looked at him through his glasses with a slightly strange look, "Your President Liu proposed that you be the deputy director of the e-commerce department." The supervisor is in charge of advertising. Correspondingly, there will be adjustments in terms of salary and benefits. Here are the detailed rules. Please take a look."
"Deputy Head?"
Chen Xu raised his head in surprise, this proposal was completely beyond his expectation.
