Chapter 4 Restraint and Persistence September 2023, 4, Friday, sunny, 7~6℃. It was 6 o'clock in the morning and the dawn was just beginning to break. "Ding-dong-dong——" the alarm clock rang. Tang Song got up quickly, made his bed, drank a glass of warm water, and went to the toilet to empty the metabolic waste. His body's vitality was quickly awakened. Stand in front of a mirror with a genuine smile on your face. "Ding Dong", the bank's money arrival text message arrived as expected. Start the day in a good mood. There is a saying: True wealth is the smile on your face. Tang and Song agreed with this deeply.
Open the system interface and view personal information. 【Player: Tang Song (25')】 [Role: Jinxiu Commerce-Development Engineer] 【Height: 180CM, Weight: 】 [Physique: 56, Endurance: 55, Agility: 49, Comprehension: 76] 【Asset Status:】 Balance: yuan Enterprise: None Property: None Vehicle: Yadea electric car ... Today is the 6th day of his weight loss plan and the results are very good. The weight dropped to , the agility increased by 1 point, and the charm score reached 25. I touched my belly and could feel that it was noticeably smaller and my body felt a lot lighter. "Nice!" Tang Song snapped his fingers happily. No one can refuse to become better, and it is really exciting to see yourself getting closer to your goal little by little. After putting on sportswear and doing 10 minutes of full body stretching, I faced the faint morning light, breathed the cool air, and started 40 minutes of fasting aerobics. After a long period of fasting at night, the body's glycogen reserves are less. At this time, aerobic exercise makes it easier for the body to use fat as an energy source, which has an excellent fat-reducing effect. "Whoosh hoot—" Big beads of sweat rolled down, clothes were soaked, and legs were trembling. The sounds of footsteps, breathing, and heartbeats intertwined into a passionate concerto in his ears. Thoughts of laziness, escape, and slacking popped up in my mind one by one.
Tang Song tried hard to adjust his breathing rhythm, painfully enjoying his own fat-burning moment. In fact, today has been a lot easier. During the first few days of exercise, lactic acid accumulated in my muscles caused soreness all over my body. It was even difficult to go to the toilet. I only managed to persevere through it because of my willpower. I returned to my residence, took a quick shower, and started preparing my meals for the day. Breakfast is simple: milk (250ml), purple sweet potato (150g), 1 boiled egg, 1 apple. Lunch is a little more difficult to prepare: steamed corn, pumpkin, winter melon and shrimp, black pepper and mushrooms. After finishing breakfast and cleaning the kitchen, Tang Song walked to work carrying his lunch box. The main reason why I haven't quit my job is to get the corresponding reward of [Charm 30] as soon as possible. According to the system's assessment criteria for charm, before having your own career, a stable job and interpersonal relationships are very important. If your character becomes an unemployed vagrant, your charm value will definitely drop a lot. As he is still in the development stage, the most urgent task for him is to unlock the first stage rewards as soon as possible and play it safe! …… 8:50am. 20th floor, Linjin Building, Jinxiu Trading. "morning!" "morning!" "Good morning, Brother Zhang!" "Good morning, Xiao Song. You have lost a lot of weight recently. You look more energetic now." Tang Song had a warm smile on his face and greeted colleagues he met from time to time. Put the lunch box in the refrigerator, fill a large cup of hot water, sit down at your workstation, open your laptop and start studying. The good quality of sleep made him energetic, and coupled with the weight loss, there was a noticeable change in his whole being. Many female colleagues also asked him for the menu of fat-reducing meals. He is in a good mood now. He goes to work at 9 o'clock every day and gets off work on time at 6 o'clock. Work just enough and overtime is absolutely impossible. Focus your main energy on improving yourself. From time to time, I would walk around the corridor to avoid sitting for long periods of time. At lunch, Zhao Yue suddenly came over. She glanced at Tang Song's lunch box and exclaimed, "Brother Song, your fat-reducing meals are getting better and better. They look very appetizing!" "I just followed the tutorial and the taste is just average." "I don't believe it." Zhao Yue covered her mouth and chuckled. She picked up a piece of shrimp with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth to taste it. "It's not as bad as you say. It tastes pretty good!" After that, he took another cup of yogurt and put it on Tang Song's desk, patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, Brother Song, try to lose weight soon! Raise the average appearance of the boys in our department!"
"No problem." Tang Song smiled and made an OK gesture. When their eyes met, Zhao Yue seemed a little embarrassed. She quickly looked away and sat back at her workstation. Tang Song looked at her back and couldn't help shaking his head. When he first started working, he thought this female colleague liked him. After all, her words and actions are quite intimate, and there doesn't seem to be any sense of distance. However, several things that happened later made him gradually realize that Zhao Yue was just raising fish. She probably saw in him that he had good technical skills and could help her at work. In terms of appearance, Zhao Yue is not that pretty, but she can only get 6 points after putting on makeup. He is in his early 20s, extrovert, neither fat nor thin, and has a monthly salary of 6k. However, even though she is not an outstanding girl, she has many suitors and admirers around her. I receive gifts and flowers during every holiday, and my circle of friends is rich and colorful. This also led to her always having an inexplicable sense of superiority. Perhaps according to her standards, Tang Song was tacitly categorized as a bootlicker. From time to time, they would throw a bone like they did just now to maintain intimacy. …… After 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the body is in an empty stomach state again. Tang Song exercised on the elliptical machine for half an hour and worked up a sweat. Not long after returning to my workstation, an intense feeling of hunger came over me. His eyes unconsciously fell on the snacks of his colleagues around him, and his throat rolled up and down. Potato chips, ham, pickled pepper chicken feet, instant noodles, chocolate... They are all his favorite foods! Tang Song licked his lips and tried to divert his attention. The feeling of hunger during this period is the most unbearable, but as long as you can get through it, your body will start burning fat, stabilizing blood sugar levels, and the feeling of hunger will be greatly reduced. After persisting for half an hour, colleagues around me suddenly started discussing afternoon tea. Tang Song glanced at the work group and saw the notice just sent by the Human Resources Department. [Dear all: It’s time for a delicious afternoon tea again. Thank you all for your hard work in your daily work. The activity area has prepared cakes and milk tea. Come and have some! ] There are also a few pictures below. Fragrant cream cake, golden and crispy croissants, a large cup of bubble milk tea, and waffles covered with chocolate.
Jinxiu Trading has always had good employee benefits, providing free afternoon tea every Friday, which is a form of humanistic care. His colleague Wang Chaoyang waved at him, "Let's go, Tang Song! If you go too late, you won't be able to grab the delicious food." Tang Song stared at the photo and swallowed hard. [Sweet and smooth cream, soft and delicious cake, croissants wrapped in butter! ] [If you only eat one or two pieces, it will be fine! ] Tang Song stood up slightly, then bit his lower lip hard and sat down again. He said with difficulty: "No, I'm on a diet recently, you guys eat and drink well." The desire to complete the task eventually overcame the temptation of delicious food. 6 o'clock in the evening. Tang Song closed his laptop and left work on time. Having gotten through that nagging hunger, I now feel a lot more relaxed. As I walked out of the office building, the April wind hit me in the face. Tang Song took a deep breath and jogged towards the orange sunset. Back at Qingxin Home, we began to prepare the long-awaited dinner. Boiled spinach (200g) + steamed fish (150g) + a bowl of brown rice. The setting sun gradually disappeared over the horizon, and darkness enveloped the entire city. The lights in the living room were turned on. Tang Song sat at the dining table, silently feeling the satisfaction brought by the food and thinking about the future. (End of this chapter)
