Tick, tick...

Chen Xu woke up in the sound of the cell phone alarm clock, grasping to turn off the cell phone alarm clock and sat up.

It wasn't even dawn yet, and it was dark all around, only at that tiny window, thrown in a light white light, which was the street lamp outside.

He turned on the switch at the end of the bed and the LED bulb on top of his head lit up bright white light. This is a not very spacious attic with a high middle roof, low sides, tile-capped and not insulated at all.

He rubbed his face and forced himself out of his warm nest, feeling nothing but cold.

This is undoubtedly a painful thing in cold winters, especially before dawn.

When he got up, he quickly changed his tracksuit, walked downstairs from the escalator, brushed his teeth and washed his face. And then right in the store, doing a little warm-up.

Almost ready, he pulled the gate open and a cold wind blew in, freezing him to shake.

When the door was re-locked, he glanced at the watch on his hand and took note of the time. Breathe out, dissipate into a white mist and start running.

The buildings here are quite old, the street lights are also old, not very bright, more than 20 meters apart to see one.

Everywhere quietly, a dog or two can be heard from time to time.

Almost at the intersection, there was a bun for sale, lit a lamp, far apart, and you could see a white mist rising.

On the street at 5: 00 a.m., he seemed to find a hint of dreaming.

A few minutes later, he ran out of this inner-city village, to the nearest square, where he circled around.

In the great winter, there are a lot of morning shipments here, mostly middle-aged and elderly people.

In the middle of the square stands a large lighting, orange yellow lighting, illuminating the square. There have been some old ladies dancing in the square.

Chen Xu admired their perseverance.

It is also possible to meet some of the people who are running, and there are many middle-aged and elderly people.

Chen Xu didn't intentionally control the speed. After two laps, he couldn't breathe. He glanced at the watch and ran for 10 minutes, biting his teeth and holding on.

Another lap, 13 minutes later, he finally slowed his footsteps, walked as he gasped hard, the cold air followed his mouth into his lungs, making him feel a little tingling in his chest, and his throat was very dry, very painful.

He removed the stainless steel cup from his waistbag, poured some water in the lid, sipped it and moistened his mouth and throat.

After drinking, he recapped the cup and stuffed it back into his luggage.

He didn't stop to rest, so he walked slowly, walked for a few minutes, and the pain of getting numb in his lungs finally slowed down, and his breathing slowed down.

He walked around and felt almost recovered. He glanced at the watch, rested for about 30 minutes, and started running again.

Fifteen minutes later.

Once again, he felt the pain of breathing in his lungs, almost unable to run.

At this point, a bald, middle-aged man walked by and saw him like this and said, "Boy, you're just starting to run, don't run too hard all of a sudden, you're hurting yourself. ”

Chen Xu gasped and barely revealed a smile on his face, expressing gratitude.

The man quickly ran away. Chen Xu held his back and walked one step at a time. It was painful for him to suffer, but his heart grew with joy.

Today, the day after he woke up for a run in the morning, he couldn't breathe for five minutes from the start, and now he has lasted fifteen minutes, arguably making rapid progress.

With the basic “Endurance” card, his resilience greatly improved. No matter how tired you get, take a break and you'll recover quickly.

What he's using now is the simplest and most rude exercise. Reach the limit of your body one at a time, one breath until you can't run, take a break, keep running, get tired and rest, then keep running.

Every time, he can clearly feel his progress. This feels really good, compared to physical exhaustion, nothing at all.

Just like playing games, the process of leveling is boring, but after the character upgrades, all the attributes are improved, and I feel satisfied and motivated.

Chen Xu is in a similar situation now. He is practicing addiction and can't stop.

…………

Unconsciously, it's already dawn.

After running for the fourth time, Chen Xu noticed that there were more and more people around him. After a glance, it was already 7: 30 and he went back.

Bought breakfast on the way back to the rental house, Chen Ziqi was awake, lying in a duvet, wearing headphones and carrying English.

“Well, don't come near me.” She looked up, disgusted, pinched her nose, "What have you been up to these past two days, sweaty? ”

“Have your breakfast. ”

Chen Xu put down his bowel powder and took his clothes and went into the bathroom.

After a bath and breakfast, he went to work.

Today was a special day, when he came to the company, he obviously felt the atmosphere was much hotter than usual.

“Chen Xu, you said that President Liu said there was overtime pay, do you want to count?” Even Dai Zixin, who has always been huge, looked forward to it.

“Hard to say. ”

Chen Xu felt that with Liu Kun's style of action, it should not be that speech does not count, but he did not say death.

His former advertising department, not much overtime, at the end of the busiest year, would overtime for an hour or two, and finally, symbolic bonuses, counted as overtime, like the prescribed method, really didn't. A little helpless, but it's a reality.

As usual, today is the day of payroll, and everyone is a little distracted by this.

After the morning meeting, Secretary Guo carefully sent down everyone's pay slips.

“You go to HR later.” When sent to Chen Xu, Secretary Guo mentioned a sentence.

Chen Xuxin was one of the best and should be talking about his departure. After receiving the wage slip, I opened it and was somewhat surprised that the actual wage actually exceeded 10,000. At first glance, the bulk is overtime.

President Liu is atmospheric.

He was delighted. The money came too promptly. He was also very fond of Liu Kun.

Looking at the other colleagues, one is also excited.

I am confident that from now on, the enthusiasm of your work will take you to the next level.

As he told Liu Kun last time, as long as overtime is paid, hard work is worth it.

Chen Xu went to the HR department to receive him. He is still a tall and thin supervisor.

“I came to you this time to adjust your work.” He looked at him with a slightly different look through his glasses, "you proposed to become deputy directors of the e-commerce department and take charge of the advertising section. Correspondingly, in terms of wage entitlements, there will be some adjustments, here are the rules, you see. ”

“Deputy Supervisor? ”

Chen Xu looked up with surprise. This proposal was completely unexpected.
