The growth system comes at the age of 30

Chapter 145 Updating Equipment
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Chen Qiyun always felt that Chinese teacher Mr. Li was staring at her during class today.

Even if he wasn't staring at her, he was staring in this direction.

Most likely he's still staring at her.

She was so scared that she didn't even dare to distract herself. She had to lower her head to read, listen to the class with her ears, and try her best to avoid eye contact with the teacher.

"Chen Qiyun~"

What you fear will come true. Li Beixing directly called her to answer the question: "Tell me about the first question we mentioned before we formally studied the text. The article is titled "Back Figure". What role does "Back Figure" play in the whole article?"

Under the gaze of the whole class, Chen Qiyun stood up silently, holding the Chinese textbook, but she was not very panicked.

Because she studied hard, she was able to understand the text.

"I think it serves as a clue throughout the whole article. The author first points out the theme of the article, and then focuses on describing his father's back through the story of his father seeing him off and buying oranges on the platform to express his complex feelings for his father. Finally, because of the letter, he thinks of his father's back, which echoes the previous text."

Li Beixing nodded slightly: "Anything else?"

Huh? Is there any other function?
Chen Qiyun was slightly stunned and lowered her head to think.

At this time, my deskmate whispered: "In terms of content..."

Oh yes, the teacher said that the function of an answer lies not only in its structure but also in its content.

Seeing her silence, Li Beixing spoke up to remind her: "You are right about the clue. From a structural point of view, 'back view' is indeed a clue that runs through the whole article. What if we talk about the content of the article?"

"It is the turning point in the relationship between the author and his son." Chen Qiyun blurted out.

"Very good, sit down."

Li Beixing nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that he had done some preparation before class and his performance was much better than in previous classes.

Chen Qiyun breathed a sigh of relief, and after sitting down, she whispered to her deskmate, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome."

The little classmate also responded in a low voice with a smile on his face.

At the podium, Li Beixing continued his lecture.

In her class, students are very respectful and no one affects classroom discipline. Even if they occasionally get distracted, they will quickly return to the lecture content.

The most important thing is that there are not many naughty students in the class.

If it were a regular class, it would be a headache.

……

the other side,
Chen Jingle returned home after running and buying groceries.

First, I did some image management. After taking a shower, I stood in front of the mirror in my boxer shorts, silently observing the recent changes in myself.

"My spirit, energy, and physical condition are getting better and better."

Although his height has only increased by less than 3 centimeters, there is not much change to the naked eye. At most, it gives people the feeling that the body proportions are more perfect, but the muscles are much more obvious.

He has been training and eating a lot during this period, and a large amount of food energy has been absorbed and converted. The traces of training on his body are at least more obvious than those of most people wearing yoga pants.

In addition, my skin is getting better and better now. Without a close observation, there are no scar marks that would spoil the appearance.

“Awesome!”

Chen Jingle is very satisfied with his current muscles.

I think I'll be almost there if I train for another month. Then, if I can keep from gaining weight and not falling back to my original shape, I'll consider it a success.

With his ectomorphic physique, it would be difficult for him to become big even if he wanted to.

"It depends on how the system arranges it." Personally, he thinks it's good to look thin when dressed and have muscles when undressed.

The key lies in the conversion of strength in the core muscle groups of the body, which enables him to clearly feel that he has become stronger, and to react quickly and protect himself when encountering danger.

"Maybe you can learn some fighting skills?"

Chen Jingle thought about it for a moment and included this as an option.

After getting dressed, start researching the equipment you’ll need for winter running.

First of all, you need to choose clothes made of quick-drying material and close-fitting, rather than pure cotton and casual, so that you can run lightly and conveniently.

You can wear compression pants under your pants, with an integrated waist bag, which is convenient for placing your phone.

Or buy a sports waist bag separately.

When it is particularly cold, you can wear a thin down jacket as the second layer to keep warm, and a windproof jacket as the outer layer. With these three layers stacked together, you basically don’t have to worry about keeping warm.

Generally speaking, it is enough to wear a windproof jacket outside.

Then there are gloves and hats.

Chen Jingle's skin is very fragile every winter. If it is exposed to the cold air outdoors for a long time, it is prone to chapped skin and frostbite, so gloves must be worn.

You should wear a hat. When running, a large part of the body's heat is dissipated from the head. If you don't keep your head windproof and warm, you will have a severe headache after running and easily catch a cold.

If you don’t want to wear a hat, you can also choose a warm headband.

As for running shoes, summer running shoes can also be worn in winter, but it is best to wear long socks. Don't dare to be like a teenager, wearing boat socks in the winter and exposing your ankles.

The pair of running shoes that Chen Jingle is wearing now is very cheap. He bought it for 11 yuan during the Double 99 shopping festival two years ago. It is incomparable to the professional ones. This time, he considered changing to a pair of slightly more professional running shoes with a carbon plate with greater elasticity. Finally, he referred to the athletes of the sports school and chose a pair of Xtep 160X.

This set is not cheap, even if you choose an affordable brand.

Chen Jingle has enough money now, so he decided to buy two sets for easy replacement.

It was painful to pay.

Many people only run when the weather is warm, because they don’t want to spend the extra money.

However, being expensive definitely has its advantages. You can't catch a cold just to save a little money. The money you spend on medical treatment and medicine can be used to buy several sets of equipment.

He didn't want to do such a stupid thing again.

After thinking about it, I decided to buy two more sets of clothes for this winter.

Including base shirts, leggings, fleece pants, woolen sweaters, hoodies and sweatpants, windbreakers, down jackets, thick wool socks, etc.

As I get older, I can no longer rely on my righteousness to support myself like I used to. I need to keep warm in my daily life.

It would be fine if we could stay at home like before, because the air conditioner at home has heating. The problem is that sometimes we need to go out for various reasons, and if we don’t keep warm, we will catch a cold in minutes.

not worth it.

After doing all this, Chen Jingle started today's class.

I will read a book first, which I didn't finish last night, on Chinese medicine pharmacology. Then I will paint.

I have to paint several more to meet the buyer's requirements.

……

Today is Liang Cheng's first day at work in his new unit.

Everyone is very welcoming to this new colleague. After all, work is usually busy, and it is always a good thing to have one more person to share the burden.

As for the background, many people have already found out in advance.

You should know that although the salary in their unit is not high and it is difficult to get promoted, the advantage is that most departments do not require overtime, and it can be considered a good unit among all the municipal bureaus.

Those who can get in either have excellent abilities or have some connections.

When people heard that Liang Cheng was promoted from a township after serving a five-year service period, many people immediately paid attention to him.

You should know that in principle, for township posts, you can apply for transfer after completing the five-year service period. But in reality, those who understand will understand.

Even if the term of many people expires, they can only stay in rural areas and continue to waste their time.

Things are different now than they were ten or twenty years ago.

According to gossip, this new colleague was personally named by a deputy director and seems to be someone with connections.

Therefore, no one made things difficult for Liang Cheng. Everyone behaved in a friendly manner and expected others to help with their work.

Liang Cheng considered that it was his first day reporting to the new unit, so he mainly focused on getting familiar with his colleagues and work content, so he didn't feel like slacking off in the morning.

The Municipal Supervision Bureau is a very busy unit. It was formed by merging several original units. It is known as the Cosmic Bureau, which manages everything from heaven to earth and the air. The organization is huge, even bloated, with a large number of staff. Just recognizing people took him a lot of effort.

As for people asking him privately about his relationship with a certain leader, he could only smile and not answer.

He got this connection purely through his good friend, it's not that strong. He is lucky to be transferred up, he doesn't expect to be promoted, his biggest dream is to work in the Municipal Bureau until retirement.

It's better than working like a slave in the countryside.

It was almost time to get off work at noon when he sent a message to Chen Jingle to share his experience working in the new unit.

"I feel fine. My colleagues are very friendly. I can't see anything wrong for now. Apart from being a little busy at work, there are no other problems. Of course, this level of busyness is fine in my opinion. It's easier than working in a town. At least I don't have to worry about getting hit on the head by a hoe from a super-strong rural old lady."

Liang Cheng was still in the mood to joke, and it was obvious that the environment in the new unit was really good.

"Are there many young people?" Chen Jingle asked.

Liang Cheng said: "Not many, most of them are still 40-50 years old. There are few promotion opportunities within the department, so many people can only wait."

Chen Jingle: "I'm afraid I'll be busy."

As we all know, the older veterans in the system are not easy to deal with, and many jobs are thrown to newcomers as much as possible.

Of course, it depends on the person, and it mainly depends on personal character.

But in this big melting pot, it is rare to find something that remains the same as it was after decades.

"Will any department hold a dinner to welcome new employees?" Chen Jingle was curious.

Liang Cheng said: "There are in the evening, but usually not in the name of dinner, called team building or seminars, the traditional old to new activities. Although I have worked in the township for several years, but I am not familiar with the work content of the new unit, I need to ask colleagues for advice."

Oh~
Team building seminar is ok.

Why are there so many smart people in this group? Chen Jingle couldn’t think of such profound words.

"I'm going to eat first and see how the food is in my new unit." Liang Cheng said.

"Okay, I'm going to eat here too."

Chen Jingle put away his phone, took the cooked eggplant and beans out of the pot and put them on a plate. Looking at the time, Chen Qiyun should be home soon.
