After getting off work, Mao Sandao did not go home. Instead, he drove Maoqiuer to the "Donglai Boxing Gym". 2
This is not because he has leisurely time to cultivate his sentiments, but because he is extremely depressed inside and wants to find a place to vent his emotions completely. 1
"Donglai Boxing Gym" is open 24 hours a day. The owner is Hao Dong, a former bank colleague of Mao Sandao.
Because he loved boxing, he simply resigned and his father funded a small boxing gym. 1
As for business, well... I can only say that it is average. 2
First, the geographical location is relatively remote. 1
Secondly... it's probably because I don't have any business acumen. 1
After all, there are very few "goods" like Jiao Qiu'er who "do nothing but become a blockbuster". 4
Mao Sandao also learned this skill from Hao Dong.
Arriving at the entrance of "Donglai Boxing Gym", Mao Sandao parked the car, opened the door and walked out.
Mao Qiu'er was locked in the car by Mao Sandao and refused to let him out, mainly because he was afraid that he would run around and get lost. 1
When he entered, he saw two staff members sitting in the corner. One was taking a nap with his eyes closed, and the other was snoring with his mouth open.
There was a recliner next to the boxing ring, and a man was sleeping on the recliner.
This person is Hao Dong.
Hao Dong is just 30 years old this year. He has dreadlocks and the letters "TYQ" tattooed behind his ears.
"TYQ" is the initials of his ex-girlfriend's name, and her full name is Tao Yeqing.
He and his girlfriend met after they opened a boxing gym. It can't be said that the business was booming at that time, but at least it was better than the current situation. 1
He was in love at that time, so Hao Dong got these three letters tattooed, hoping that his heart for Tao Yeqing would never be forgotten like his name engraved on his body.
But since the business of Haodong's boxing gym became worse and worse, Tao Yeqing abandoned him and left.
Since then, Hao Dong has not removed these three letters. He believes that this is also a lesson that should be remembered throughout his life.
"Brother Dong."
Mao Sandao slowly walked up to Hao Dong and pushed him gently with his hand.
With just a push, Hao Dong quickly opened his eyes and stood up from the recliner.
Thinking about it, it must be because business is too sluggish and worries are too much, which makes it impossible to sleep deeply.
"It's Sandao. Why are you free to come here today?" Hao Dong looked at the time and shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind. 2
"I'll box." With that, Mao Sandao walked onto the boxing ring, took off his jacket and shoes, and put on boxing gloves.
Hao Dong glanced at Mao Sandao and could tell from his expression that Mao Sandao was in a low mood today.
He stood up and said, "I'm going to wash my face and fight with you."
After simply rubbing his face, Hao Dong put on his gloves and walked onto the ring. Protecting his head with both fists, he asked, "What's going on this early in the morning?"
"I'm fine." Mao Sandao punched Hao Dong directly, "I just want to vent!"
Hao Dong dodged sideways, shook his shoulders, and jumped back and forth.
From the look on Mao Sandao's face, he probably wouldn't tell him even if he asked. Instead of doing this, it might be better to quietly punch him with him to vent.
"Move!" Hao Dong's eyes became sharp, he protected his head with his fists again, and said loudly: "How do I teach you how to use sliding steps, sprint steps, and side steps?!"
Mao Sandao's eyes suddenly filled with murderous intent, and he suddenly kicked Hao Dong sideways.
Hao Dong was kicked by Mao Sandao and took two steps back.
Hao Dong shook his arm, shook his shoulders again, and said with a smile: "Not bad, but it's a pity that the strength is a little weak."
Before he finished speaking, Mao Sandao almost used all his strength to kick Hao Dong in the chest. Hao Dong flew several meters away and hit the rope before he could dodge. 1
With a plop, he bounced off the rope and fell to the stage.
"It's your uncle, I'm asking you to use your strength, not to kill me."
Hao Dong touched his chest and almost couldn't breathe.
"Brother Dong, I'm sorry."
Only then did Mao Sandao react, and he quickly stepped forward to help Hao Dong with an apologetic look on his face. 1
Because I was extremely depressed, I couldn't control my strength all of a sudden.
"It's okay, come again!" Hao Dong pushed Mao Sandao away, slapped the countertop again, and quickly stood up, "Let out whatever dissatisfaction you have in your heart, your Brother Dong, I can withstand it!"
"Okay." Mao Sandao shook his limbs vigorously, loosened his muscles and bones, and started fighting with Hao Dong on the boxing ring.
The two staff members had woken up at some point and sat in the audience, becoming the audience and cheering for the two people fighting.
More than half an hour later, Mao Sandao and Hao Dong were sweating profusely, panting from exhaustion, and slumped on the stage like soft mud.
The staff brought two bottles of water and handed them to Hao Dong. Hao Dong gave one bottle to Mao Sandao and shouted:
"It feels so good, it feels so damn good, I haven't felt this good in a long time!"
"Yes!" Mao Sandao unscrewed the cap of the bottle and took a swig. "It seems that you made the right choice in choosing this industry."
Hao Dong sighed, opened the water and took a sip. Looking at the boxing equipment in the gym that had not been used for a long time, his expression gradually became confused:
“To be honest, this is indeed my dream, but look at the business now, there is not even one person.
When you can’t even reach a piece of basic bread after realizing your dream, then this dream is a fart, a complete fart! "
Hao Dong did not smoke, so Mao Sandao took one out, lit it silently, and whispered: "You are better than me, at least you are still living a human life now, and you don't have to bear the huge pressure on your soul, except for financial pressure. "
"Huh?" Hao Dong didn't understand why Mao Sandao said these words, and felt that there was another meaning in his words, "What happened to you today? Did that Zhou Kongming and Zhou Bapi bully you again?"
So far, Hao Dong still doesn't know that Mao Sandao no longer works in the bank. In his opinion, the reason why Mao Sandao is negative is because of Zhou Papi.
When he was working in a bank, he saw with his own eyes that little brat Zhou Papi targeted Mao Sandao almost every day. It seemed that Mao Sandao was a thorn in his side and a thorn in his flesh.
Mao Sandao couldn't explain clearly what happened in the bookstore, so he could only nod his head intentionally or unintentionally: "It has become a common thing for him to bully me."
Hao Dong took another sip of water and said, "Actually, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Zhou Bapi is jealous of your ability and being more handsome than him, so he targets you. 1
If you ask me, you might as well resign and do something else instead of being angry with him.
In fact, I've long disliked that kid. If I get a chance, I'll give him a good beating for you! "
Mao Sandao blew out a smoke ring and said slowly: "It's not necessary to beat him. I'm not afraid of him. Is it possible that he can still shoot me?"
"Alas...!" Hao Dong sighed, "You are just stubborn and don't listen to anyone."
Seeing that Mao Sandao's mood has not recovered yet, Hao Dong thought for a while and said with a smile:
"Yesterday a woman came here and wanted to learn boxing. Tsk tsk tsk. That's right. Although her skin is a bit dark, her temperament is really nothing to say.
However, the man she brought with her was not only short but also ugly. Standing next to us, he looked as abrupt as standing out from the crowd.
In addition, the man's brain is also very slow and seems a bit slow. If you say something to him, it will take a long time to respond.
But from the look of that woman, she seems to like him very much. Hey, tell me, what kind of world is this? "
Mao Sandao forced out a smile, blew out a smoke ring again, and said disapprovingly: "Ugly men admire beautiful women, and ugly women admire handsome men. This is how the world is. It confuses right and wrong, and makes no distinction between right and wrong." 1
Hao Dong smiled and continued: "The key is the man. The name he chose is quite artistic. Looking at the name they registered, the man's name seems to be Cai...Cai Wen."
Having said this, Hao Dong paused and tried to think about it, and finally nodded with certainty: "Yes, that's right, it's Cai Wen, Cai Jing's Cai. The study of literature really doesn't deserve its name."
Cai Wen...
Mao Sandao felt that the name was a bit familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. 1
Cai Wen?
Suddenly, he froze and turned to stare at Hao Dong: "You said his name is Cai Wen?" 2
