Chapter 52 The Game Begins

Little is better than newlyweds.

Jiang Sheng didn't practice Qigong in the evening, so he and his wife had some exercises.

After everything calmed down, Jiang Sheng held Chen Wenjing in his arms and enjoyed the warmth of the aftermath.

After a long time, Chen Wenjing asked: "How much money do you have on you now?"

"There is still less than 15." Jiang Sheng said, and then he couldn't help but sigh: "It's so damn fast to spend money!"

His resignation compensation was 22 yuan. Including some of the original money in the card, it was 23 yuan. Now he has lost 8 yuan in a month.

The key is that he didn't buy anything big, so he bought Chen Wenjing a far ahead one. In addition, he bought sports headphones and a watch for himself. The rest was mostly medicinal food, which cost him thirty to forty thousand yuan in more than half a month.

What's left is that the expenses for food, clothing, housing and transportation are much higher than before, and it's easy to go from frugality to luxury.

He also plans to buy a new car.

The psychology of buying a car is like this. At first I just planned to buy a second-hand Alto, but in the end I gritted my teeth and bought an Audi, took the money to buy a Baojun, and finally took a loan to buy a BMW.

In the darkness, Chen Wenjing said understandingly: "That's for sure. Everything is so expensive now. I bought 6 apples last night for forty yuan. By the way, I also bought you four pairs of underwear, seven pairs. Pure cotton socks, how much do you think they cost?”

"do not know."

"200 yuan. Oh my god, a pair of underwear costs 15 yuan, a pair of socks costs yuan, and two pairs cost yuan a pair. But the quality does look much better than the cheap ones. I think it will be more comfortable for you to wear. So I gritted my teeth and bought it.”

"Thank you, wife. You get what you pay for. You only get what you buy wrong, not what you sell wrong."

"Yeah! By the way, the English teacher has to pay the tuition fee."

"How many?"

"3000."

"Oh……"

……

The next morning Jiang Sheng came back from exercise and found Jiang Min still lying on the bed, wondering: "Aren't you going to school?"

Jiang Min hummed: "We had winter vacation yesterday."

"Oh oh oh……"

Jiang Sheng then remembered that his daughter had told him last night, but he had forgotten it.

从1月7号一直放到2月12号，整整36天的寒假，而且今天早上九点钟还要去拿家庭报告书。

If it were before, he would care about his grades. Now he pays more attention to his daughter's ideological and moral education. He does not expect her to become a talent, but at least to be an adult. She should not fall in love at a young age and fall in love with a little yellow hair who is a will-o'-the-wisp. Then he I was so angry.

"Get up quickly, we have to go to school later."

"Know it……"

In the morning, I accompanied my daughter to the school to get the family report, and held a parent-teacher meeting by the way.

The main thing is safety education, so that children can pay attention to safety during the winter vacation and stay away from water and fire.

It was past 10 o'clock after leaving school, and the father and daughter went to eat at McDonald's.

Then Jiang Sheng took his daughter to the World Expo Exhibition Hall in Linjiang District to collect equipment.

There are so many people coming to collect them, it can be described as a sea of ​​​​people.

After going through a series of certifications, Jiang Sheng finally got the competition equipment package.

After opening the equipment bag, I found that it was really diverse, including subway tickets, brochures, maps of China and Oceania, marathon instructions, White Rabbit toffee, salt pills, etc. Of course, the most important ones were the competition uniforms and the number plate containing the positioning chip.

Jiang Sheng took out the China Overseas Marathon manual and looked at the route map carefully.

After reading it, I confidently put it in my bag.

I took my daughter to the arcade and had fun all afternoon, and it wasn't until dark that the two of us took the subway home.

During dinner, Jiang Min excitedly told her mother what she had seen and heard today, with a happy smile on her face.

Jiang Sheng said: "Jiang Min, the world is very big. What you see today is just a drop in the ocean. There will be more and better things waiting for you to explore and discover in the future."

His original intention was to stimulate his daughter's thirst for knowledge, but Chen Wenjing unexpectedly taught her at the right time: "So you have to learn English well. What's the use of people who don't speak English well when they go abroad and can't even understand what they say?"

Jiang Min chuckled and said, "Mom, didn't you know that there are translators now? My classmate played with me, and it was so powerful." "Can someone use the machine? You can't turn it on anytime and anywhere, right? So, can you?" Study hard."

After a pause, Chen Wenjing continued: "Education is a stepping stone. If you don't study hard, you will have to be a tally clerk in a supermarket like your mother in the future. Because there are no more choices, those easy and high-paying jobs The first thing when recruiting people is not to ask about your abilities, but to ask which school you graduated from?”

"Oh Mom, I understand~ You've said this eight hundred times, and I can feel the calluses in my ears."

Jiang Min said with a look of pain on his face.

Chen Wenjing: "Even if I say it eight thousand times, I will still say that if you are young and don't work hard, you will be miserable. Every sweat you shed now is the smile on your face in the future. Don't think your mother is nagging, I won't nag you about your grades." How can you come up?"

……

At night, Jiang Sheng slept in the Bauhinia Garden and practiced the Eight Parts of Vajra Kung Fu and the Cave Dust Guarding Technique.

I did nothing else and went to bed early.

He got up at five o'clock on the morning of the 9th. After washing, he checked all the equipment, and then ran alone towards the Bund Jinniu Plaza in Linjiang District.

The official running started at seven o'clock this morning, but before the start of the race, face recognition, security check, entry, clothing storage, warm-up, makeup photos, etc. need to be completed, so many people were already nearby last night.

When Jiang Sheng arrived near the Bund, there were crowds of people everywhere. The contestants were all chatting and chatting with each other. It was so lively that even the cold weather seemed to have been driven away.

Once a person passes by, the sky is boundless; once a person passes by, the mountains and plains are filled with thousands.

Among the tens of thousands of people, Jiang Sheng was as inconspicuous as a small ant.

Time passed by, and when the time came to 7 o'clock in the morning, the sky was bright, and as the leaders of the Zhonghai officials fired the starting gun, the huge crowd ran forward.

There were too many people, everywhere in front, back, left and right. Jiang Sheng couldn't get away from the crowd and run forward.

He was not in a hurry, and slowly followed the surging crowd and ran forward.

The team slowly began to lengthen. After running two kilometers, Jiang Sheng began to speed up and run wildly, constantly surpassing interested runners, and soon caught up with the end of the first echelon.

There are nearly two hundred people in the first echelon, one-third of whom are black. He has read relevant reports before. These blacks are elite, gold-label, and even platinum-label track and field athletes.

This is the event level corresponding to the marathon, such as gold, silver, bronze, etc.

"Elite" and "Gold Label" events require that at least five "elite-level" athletes from both men and women who meet the standards participate in each competition.

The "Platinum Label" event requires that at least three "Platinum-level" athletes of both men and women who meet the standard participate in each competition.

Athletes are ranked based on their position in the World Athletics Rankings through participation in various competitions.

You must know that in 2023, the cumulative quota for platinum-level athletes in the Athletics Federation is only 38, and the cumulative quota for gold-level athletes is 84.

The China Overseas Marathon has a very high standard this time. It is a Platinum Label. It is also the first "Platinum Label" event in China. Many Platinum Labels, Gold Labels and elites have been invited to participate.

Jiang Sheng followed closely behind the first echelon, neither surpassing nor falling behind.

He is here to make money, not to show off, so there is no need to be too showy.

To be honest, in his heart, he actually doesn't want to participate in this kind of competition, because he is not yet mentally prepared to be exposed to the public.

But there is no way, there are too many places where money is needed, and he doesn't know how to make money reasonably and legally through martial arts?

In fact, he checked a lot of information and even asked ChatGPT, how to make money practicing martial arts in modern times?
  Then combined with the results he found, there were seven choices in total.

1. Teach martial arts courses and make money by collecting tuition fees.

2. Performances and competitions, such as participating in martial arts performances, competitions or exhibitions to win prizes and performance fees.

3. Online live broadcast and video, this is not difficult to understand.

4. Make money through one-on-one private martial arts instruction.

5. Create martial arts teaching videos, books or online courses to make money.

6. Brand endorsement and sponsorship, this requires a certain degree of popularity.

7. Apply his martial arts skills to the field of fitness and physical training and become a personal fitness trainer or consultant.

Basically, except for the second item, making money requires a process, and it may not necessarily be possible to make money in the end.

Therefore, participating in the marathon is undoubtedly his best choice at the moment.

　Ps: I’m not very satisfied with the writing of these two chapters. The main reason is that I have had a cold in the past two days, which makes me feel dizzy and uncomfortable. I persisted and wrote two chapters. Sorry.
