Chapter 9: Willfulness

The female manager's old face is almost frozen

Hearing his colleague's words, Jian Heng smiled and walked directly towards the door of the changing room

After a pause, he exerted all his strength and shouted loudly: "Bitch! I quit!"

What pleased Jian Heng the most was his experimental subjects. Each time, he administered one-fifth of the amount given to the rabbits, mixed it with more than half a cup of water. After more than half a month, referencing the ratios translated by the British, the results of Jian Heng's efforts began to gradually emerge.

"Jian, you forgot to change your clothes!" a colleague immediately reminded Jian Heng

The notice states: Several storage rooms of the company will be auctioned on Sunday

"You still don't know? The troublesome couple now spends almost the entire day at the gym, where do they have time to come and enjoy good food!" After saying this, the attendant glanced at Jian Heng, picked up her bag, and left the changing room

After saying this, Jian Heng felt an inexplicable excitement emanating from every pore of his body, and he couldn't help but jump up and throw a punch into the air

Having thought of this, Jian Heng quickly took two steps, went straight home, abandoned his car, and drove towards the location written on the address in his old Ford, which had changed hands he did not know how many times.

For the first time, with such a mindset, Jian Heng began to perceive the beauty of New York. The city exuded an alluring prosperity in the night, along with a golden enchantment, the essence of the dollar. It is this very essence that compels countless individuals from around the world to flock to this secular melting pot, either to achieve fame and success or to be utterly crushed. While this city stages countless legends, it grinds away more people over time or reduces them to dust.

Jian Heng knows that apart from himself, there is no one else he can rely on here, and there is no talk of familial affection. Lacking education and knowledge, the only dependable resource he has is his own hands. If he wants to live a good life, the only thing he can do is to keep running forward, to run faster than others, and even more importantly, to start earlier than others. In such circumstances, Jian Heng has no time to appreciate the scenery along the way; a moment's carelessness could mean he might not even be able to afford a meal. Leisure is the greatest luxury for Jian Heng.

Turning back, Jian Heng smiled at his colleague and decided to leave this place, no longer needing to wear a smile every day, regardless of whether the person was human or ghost, as one could not offend anyone. Suddenly, Jian Heng felt an inexplicable sense of ease that he had never experienced before.

To speak frankly, ever since the first day he set foot on American soil, Jian Heng felt as if an invisible hand was pushing him, compelling him to run forward incessantly, transforming from a joyful youth in a small town in his home country into an Asian cog in the nearly ceaseless machinery of America

As he stepped out of the restaurant, Jian Heng turned back to glance at the place where he had worked for over two years with a smug expression. After a while, he remarked: "A life without financial worries is truly carefree!"

After speaking, Jian Heng directly walked into the hall

Whoosh

When someone rents a storage unit, there will inevitably be others who, for various reasons, stop paying their rent. After three months, those who have not paid and whose storage units contain something that happened will be auctioned off. Of course, this auction is not very formal; the rental company finds someone, usually the manager, who calls out a price on-site. From the moment the winning bidder pays, everything in the storage unit no longer belongs to the original owner but instead belongs to the person who won the bid.

In a moment, nearly half of the diners in suits in the entire restaurant stood up from their seats, whistling in waves and clapping incessantly, suddenly transforming the upscale restaurant into an atmosphere reminiscent of a lowbrow dance hall

While Jian Heng remained silent, a classmate walked in

"Jian, what are you still dawdling for? The foolish face has been looking for you. A group of Chinese guests has arrived and called for you several times. Now he is almost furious..." A colleague, seeing Jian Heng lost in thought, immediately shouted at him.

It should be noted that among wealthy individuals in the United States, the proportion of overweight individuals is not high; rather, the proportion of overweight individuals among the poor is significantly large. This is because wealthy individuals in the United States always have time to exercise and pay more attention to their appearance. A love for sports is a very positive habit in America. With a passion for sports, coupled with wealth and time, the majority of wealthy individuals in the United States maintain a good physique.

Focusing solely on the annual Ironman Triathlon, many CEOs and presidents of major American companies are quite skilled in this event, which illustrates how much these Americans value physical fitness

Wearing a helmet and riding the bike, Jian Heng headed home. After riding for more than 100 meters, Jian Heng put one foot down on the ground and muttered to himself: "Am I in such a hurry? Is it really necessary to ride this fast?"

"Why haven't you changed your clothes yet? Do you know what time it is?" Seeing Jian Heng still in his regular attire, the expression on the deadpan face immediately turned three degrees colder.

It seems that the couple has not come these past few days, have they? Could it be that they have changed their schedule to come during the day?

In the United States, there are many storage units of varying sizes, which are generally converted from abandoned factories, although there are also those that are purpose-built. These units are divided into smaller compartments for rent, costing anywhere from several dozen to several hundred dollars per month. Those with financial means can rent a unit to store items that are not frequently used at home.

A clear and crisp whistle sounded, followed by a round of applause

In the world, there is no shortage of onlookers who revel in the chaos, and after two or three seconds, a guest comes to their senses.

After wandering for more than four hours, Jian Heng finally turned back to his small abode. When he was about seven or eight blocks away from his residence, a notice on a small advertisement wall by the roadside caught his attention.

It has already been the third day that the troublesome couple has not appeared in their shifts. Jian Heng could no longer hold back and directly stopped a colleague who was just getting off the day shift in the changing room to ask.

Subconsciously, he stepped hard on the pedals, and only then did Jian Heng realize that he no longer had to be as busy as he used to be. Therefore, he immediately began to ride slowly, enjoying the scenery around him as he pedaled.

In summary, prior to the Jianheng experiment, the couple had quite good physiques; in some respects, one could say the man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. If they were to return to their twenties and walk down the street, they would undoubtedly attract a high rate of attention. However, after undergoing the Jianheng experiment, the man has become almost skeletal, with a standard stick-like figure, resembling a living skeleton, while the woman has become so overweight that her neck is nearly invisible, showing a trend towards extreme obesity.

Upon seeing this, the colleague immediately guessed that there was a show to watch and quickly followed along.

After arriving in New York for four or five years, Jian Heng observed the city from such a perspective for the first time

Jian Heng smiled slightly: "I am here to inform you."

Ah! Upon hearing this, Jian Heng realized that since the troublesome couple was not coming, it no longer made sense for him to stay here.

Below there is a signature, as well as a phone number for leasing, and of course, an address is also included

Upon seeing this message, Jian Heng's eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't help but think of a way to legalize the source of his spatial vehicle. Pursuing this path is undoubtedly the best option available at the moment

No need for ! ''

Countless times, he inadvertently mentioned speed in his habits, and countless times he slowed down. Jianheng walked in this manner, stopping and starting, like a curious child, riding while observing. Of course, he would not venture into any neighborhoods with high crime rates or areas populated by South Americans; no matter how impressive the surroundings, one must guard against flying bullets. Seeking death is not Jianheng's style; a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.

Jian Heng's voice was very loud; not only the manager but also all the guests in the hall heard it. It was currently the peak dining time, and the restaurant was almost at full capacity. Everyone was stunned by Jian Heng's words, and the once quiet restaurant became so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

Jian Heng showed no interest in her at all, and with a slight fist pump towards the crowd that was applauding him, he elegantly turned and left the restaurant, embodying a nonchalant and effortless demeanor as if to say goodbye without taking a single cloud with him

During this period, the person I have seen the most is Jim. Jian Heng is unaware that Jim is determined to enhance his own reputation. Naturally, he thinks Jim is quite warm-hearted. After sharing a few drinks, he feels that Jim is worth getting to know, unlike some Americans who are so pretentious. Gradually, a small friendship has developed between the two.

The rabbit has calmed down, and there is a new experimental subject. Jian Heng's life has returned to a state of ordinary routine. Apart from meeting with Luo Min and Zhang Jialiang a few times to reassure them, Jian Heng has begun to focus on contemplating what his next steps should be.
