Those who reincarnate must die.
Chapter 235 New Job
Su Jie glanced at him, then immediately moved closer to Zhang Lang: "Yes, he's my friend, a top student from Yunchuan University!"
The sprinter glanced at the two men and extended his hand to Zhang Lang: "My name is Ma Junjie, I'm Su Jie's friend, I'm from the University of Sport, let's get acquainted."
Zhang Lang glanced at Ma Junjie, then at Su Jie beside him, extended his hand to shake the athlete's hand, and simply stated his name: "Zhang Lang!"
Ma Junjie nodded, smiled slightly, tightened his grip on Zhang Lang's hand, then loosened it, patted Zhang Lang on the shoulder: "Not bad, brother. Come play at the sports academy sometime!"
"Okay!" Zhang Lang replied casually, even though he didn't know how to play any ball sports in this world.
Ma Junjie left with his group of buddies from the sports academy.
As for Zhang Lang, Cheng Jun suggested that if there was nothing else to do, they could go to the arcade to play a claw machine or go to a coffee shop. He mentioned that during their meal, there was a girl and a boy who seemed to hit it off and there was a possibility that things could develop further.
However, Zhang Lang declined, planning to check in at the fast food restaurant on the first floor first.
After saying goodbye to everyone, Zhang Lang took the elevator down to the first floor... To be honest, seeing this open-plan shopping mall reminded him of his experience of rappelling down from the sky with a grenade in the zombie world. He had a strong urge to jump over the railing, but he managed to resist...
As for the store name, he had seen it advertised in Sister Mei's WeChat Moments, so he wouldn't go to the wrong place.
He arrived at the store quickly. Because it was the weekend, there were many customers. A busy female store manager in her thirties saw him, immediately finished her work, and came over to give him a lecture:
"What have you been doing for the past two weeks? You haven't replied to my WeChat messages or answered my calls. I thought you'd disappeared! I almost went to your school! I'm telling you, if you missed last week, your bonus will be docked!"
"That's exactly what I was about to say!" Zhang Lang was already used to strangers who were overly friendly: "Sister Mei, I'm planning to quit my job!"
"You quit?" Sister Mei was taken aback. "Did you find a better job?"
"No..." Zhang Lang shook his head.
"Then why not do it!" Sister Mei pulled him aside. "We're an international fast-food chain, and the pay for part-time workers is quite high. Besides, didn't you say you're going to give Weiwei a gift for her birthday next month? Where will you get the money if you don't work?"
Mentioning Ye Weiwei immediately reminded Zhang Lang of the young couple who perished in his hometown. He sighed, "Weiwei...she's gone!"
"You broke up?" Sister Mei asked in disbelief. "You two were so loving!"
"Gone forever!" Zhang Lang shook his head. "Just last week, the accident..."
"Oh my god!!" Sister Mei was so shocked that her face turned pale upon hearing this.
"Really?! Oh my, what a young girl! She was so good to you, how could fate be so cruel!"
"So I want to take a break for a while..." Zhang Lang said smoothly, "I'll hold off for now..."
"I know it's tough on you..." Sister Mei shook her head. "I'll pay you extra for a few days later... and I'll make up for your perfect attendance this month... but what will you do in the future? It's tough being all alone. You have scholarships at school, but when you enter the workforce, you need to have some savings in advance, right?"
Zhang Lang remembered that Zhang Lang was an orphan, but Sister Mei was a kind person.
"We'll see..." Zhang Lang replied dismissively.
"Hey, didn't you say you knew kung fu!" Sister Mei's eyes suddenly lit up.
Zhang Lang was taken aback. Sister Mei reminded him, "You forgot? Last time we went out for barbecue after get off work, there was a group of drunk people causing trouble at the next table. They came over and started swinging bottles at us. You stepped in and subdued them in one go. When we asked you, you said you had studied martial arts for a few years and had a solid foundation!"
Zhang Lang blinked. It seemed that this was the excuse Zhang Lang had given after being forced to attack ordinary people before.
"Ah...yes..."
"Then I have a great job that suits you, and it pays well!"
Sister Mei took out her phone, opened WeChat, and quickly sent Zhang Lang a phone number:
"This is the parent of my son's classmate. He owns a boxing gym not far from here, and I heard they're hiring. You've trained before, so it should be a good fit! He said they charge by the hour, and even just weekend part-time work can earn several hundred dollars a week, which is much more lucrative than here. It's just that you might get beaten up, so it's quite tough!"
Being a sparring partner for someone's boxing practice? That's something Zhang Lang excels at! He could definitely give it a try...
Although he still lacks a sense of belonging emotionally, Zhang Lang knows that for a long time to come, his life will likely be based on the main world.
Money is important in any world!
Although the school can provide shelter and room and board, you still need to earn money if you want a freer life!
Zhang Lang wrote down the phone number, thanked Sister Mei, said goodbye, and left.
Walking in the mall, Zhang Lang dialed the number, briefly explained his intentions, and the person on the other end added him on WeChat and sent him the address, asking him to come for an interview.
Zhang Lang looked and saw that it was indeed not far, just across the street, diagonally opposite the Sports Academy!
Along the way, he familiarized himself with the traffic rules of this world and learned about traffic lights. Finally, Zhang Lang arrived at the boxing gym and met the owner, who was also the parent of the classmate of Sister Mei's child.
The boss, surnamed Liu, looked to be in his late thirties. He was quite muscular and probably had some martial arts training. Everyone called him Boss Liu. He looked at Zhang Lang's physique and seemed quite satisfied: "Big build? Have you ever practiced boxing?"
Zhang Lang shook his head: "I'm from Yunchuan University. What you're doing is... boxing?"
"Freestyle fighting!" the boss laughed. "From Yunchuan University? Can you handle it? Do you have a certificate?"
"Do you need it?" Zhang Lang looked at President Liu.
"I can help you with the documents... but being a sparring partner is quite dangerous!" Mr. Liu shook his head.
"We're very professional here. It's not just for enthusiasts; students from the sports university, and even many professional athletes, come to our facilities to spar and practice... The key is whether you can take a beating, because after all, combat sports have inherent risks, and you have to sign an agreement. But I certainly don't want anyone to get hurt!"
"I should be able to take a beating a bit longer than the average person!" Zhang Lang thought of those eight heavyweight electromagnetic cannons...
"No room for ambiguity!" General Manager Liu shook his head. "It's not just about being physically strong. If someone hits you, you have to know how to dodge and protect yourself... Sister Mei is a warm-hearted person, always meddling, but she doesn't understand the inner workings of this industry..."
"You can have someone try me out!" Zhang Lang looked at President Liu: "I haven't studied... free fighting, but I have quite a bit of experience..."
"This isn't like a street brawl..." Boss Liu curled his lip. "How about this, you put on your protective gear and spar with our coach!" Saying this, he turned and called out, "Xiao Qiang, come here for a second!"
