Brother Lin Min left early in the morning.
When Xiao Qi finished teaching and returned to her aunt's dormitory, she saw Lin Qingqing sitting alone at the stone table in the yard. Although she was still playing with her phone and wearing new earphones, she still looked a little lost.
Seeing Xiao Qi come back, she just greeted her weakly.
As usual in the evening, Xiao Qi went to the gym. Although her buttocks, waist and legs were still sore today, it seemed that persisting in practicing had improved a lot. On the first day, even raising her legs hurt, and sitting down hurt too.
However, after practicing the basic movements, the coach also taught her to practice equipment like weightlifting. Xiao Qi felt it was quite easy.
Coach: ......Seeing that weight number......Then looking at the thin body of the little girl......
Seriously suspecting the machine is broken.
After Xiao Qi left, she secretly tried it herself, lifted one third of the weight. The coach silently got off the chair.
Today after Xiao Qi finished working out and returned, she didn’t just fall asleep dead, she could still practice calligraphy for an hour with a writing brush, do one set of CET-4 English test papers, and previewed Japanese once.
Before going to bed, she took another look at the interface. The money had risen to more than 50,000 yuan again. Next to it was a bonus of 340,000 yuan, followed by the number 9, and there were 9 days left. Would it disappear if she didn’t spend it herself?
It seemed that the system currently did not have any punishment options. Spending so much money in ten days, she had no clue at all. Buy a watch? Such an expensive watch was unlikely to exist in this small city Lvshan.
Suddenly she thought of Zhang Juan's car, which was said to cost more than 100,000 yuan. So wouldn't she be able to buy two cars for her.
Xiao Qi smiled foolishly for a while, and felt that she was being childish again. She didn't even get her driver's license yet. Wasn't it silly to buy two cars?
In recent days, she didn’t want to spend money on things. She had to finish learning Japanese and tutoring English classes, which were quite busy.
The next day, she went to learn Japanese in the morning and made an appointment with the agency in the afternoon. Teacher Zhou helped make an introduction to the agency. With the full payment and clear property rights of the house, the agent took her to the property certificate hall to go through the formalities. So Xiao Qi got a little book.
When she got the little booklet, she felt her bag got heavier.
"Do you plan to live by yourself or rent it out? School will start soon, and this place should be easy to rent. The landlord urgently needed money, otherwise he wouldn't sell it. The price is really affordable," said the agent, who was in a good mood after making a deal. He asked one more question, thinking that maybe he could make another deal.
Xiao Qi considered it for a moment. If she told her parents now that she had bought a house, they would be scared. She would go to school soon, so it would be better to rent it out. Dealing with this agent felt quite smooth.
"Then please help me rent it out, I will leave a key with you." Anyway, there was nothing inside, and she usually wouldn’t live there either, so there was no need to spend money on renovation.
And so, Xiao Qi accomplished a major event in life.
She went to the gym again in the evening.
Today, she found the movements taught by the coach much easier. She thought that she would start school soon, so she asked the coach to teach her more fitness movements that she could practice by herself when she returned.
The movements taught by Coach Li were basically no equipment needed. The coach didn't seem to like equipment, occasionally one or two, which could also be replaced by weights, such as squats with dumbbells or kettlebells, or carrying bottles of water or bags of books at home.
Xiao Qi practiced very carefully. She felt that what the coach taught was still useful. At least she worked muscles that had not been exercised before.
And the coach still looked at the treadmill that her new student had run on, always feeling that the data above was wrong.
But thinking about the strength testing equipment yesterday... Okay, great strength is not too exaggerated, but is it really okay to run like this every day?
"Are you going to participate in Meng City Alliance Marathon Race?" At the end of the class, Li Dan finally couldn't help asking Su Xiaoqi.
Because of the abnormal running ability of her student, she specially checked the information on Baidu and found that there was information about this student - a native of Gumu Village who graduated from Lvshan No. 1 Middle School and was admitted to Enhua University, winning this year's 200m women's freestyle champion in Jingnan Province.
The introduction was very simple.
However, Enhua University was in Meng City, a beautiful coastal city, which held a nationally renowned marathon every year. Not only locals and people from the province would participate, but participants from other provinces and cities, as well as foreign friends would take part too.
It was a very grand event.
The time was in early October, during the National Day holiday every year.
"What kind of thing is a marathon? Does it award prize money?” Xiao Qi asked curiously.
The bonus for the previous swimming competition, she could send it openly to her father. If this competition awarded prize money, she could also tell her dad openly, to alleviate their burden.
Li Dan: ...... Luckily she checked it.
"The bonus is quite generous. There are several categories. First, the event bonus is for all normal participants, excluding invited pacesetters. The first place who runs under two hours and twenty-six minutes can get $4,500 US dollars, and more than that time gets $2,500 US dollars."
Xiao Qi thought for a while, two hours didn't seem particularly difficult. She jogs daily now and feels uncomfortable if she doesn't run.
Looking at the calm student, Li Dan went on to say: "Of course there’s actually more than that. For Chinese athletes, breaking the world record awards $100,000 US dollars, breaking the best result of marathon races in China awards $5,000 US dollars, and breaking the best result of Mengcheng Marathon awards $3,000 US dollars. These are all for the first place of the grand competition." There are actually some more specific classifications, but this is all Li Dan remembered. She became a fitness coach because of her good figure and love of fitness, but her education level was average.
After listening, Xiao Qi's eyes lit up indeed.
She remembered that her long-distance running had reached the entry level, the normal segments were basic, entry, proficient, master and perfect level......
Reaching the basic level means being better than more than half of the people already, reaching the entry level should be better than eighty percent of the people. And this is an ability she uses every day, so she feels there’s still some hope.
And participating in the marathon can also explain her reason for running at least 30,000 steps per day.
At the moment Xiao Qi was very tempted and asked the coach in detail about how to sign up.
"You can register on your mobile phone. Just download the official app of Meng City Marathon and you can go to register." Li Dan has friends who have participated before, so she was familiar with the process.
Xiao Qi thanked the coach, said that she would go to Mengcheng to register at the end of the month, and that time her aunt would come to mainly lose weight.
Li Dan didn't care, as long as she finished teaching the class she would get the money.
Afterwards, Xiao Qi also went to see Coach Wu at the swimming pool.
Coach Wu was very happy to see Xiao Qi. She was not only a swimmer who had ranked sixth in Jingnan Province before, but also a coach who had trained a champion in Jingnan Province. As a result, her private tutoring fees rose suddenly, not just rose, the number of people registered also increased sharply.
Moreover, in the Three Flower team, her rank seemed to have been upgraded by one level. She became the deputy captain of the Three Flower team.
When she saw Xiao Qi, her whole face was smiling, very energetic.
Xiao Qi hugged Coach Wu. She was still very strong.
"I will start school soon, I probably can only come back in the winter vacation, just to let you know."
"Yeah, I heard from your aunt. Focus on studying at university when you have free time and contact me on WeChat if you have." Although Wu Peirong was Xiao Qi's swimming coach, she didn't stick to Xiao Qi becoming a professional swimmer. She was an athlete herself, and felt athletes had too hard a life. She thought it was better for Xiao Qi to go to college, although if Xiao Qi continued swimming, it might be more beneficial for herself.
However, she also saw that her student had natural talent in swimming, but more importantly was her hard work, basically swimming almost every day, never easily falling behind, her actual practice time was not less than that of the girls in the team at all, and her execution ability was particularly strong.
But the path of professional athlete was too narrow.
Wu Peirong patted her arm. No matter what, she hoped the girl would have the life she wanted.
Xiao Qi smiled foolishly again, the coach’s strength seemed to have increased.
By then it was almost off work and there were much fewer people. Xiao Qi changed into a swimsuit and swam a few laps.
It felt wonderful.
