What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter 8 Chang Bin

Because he just won against the 1.9m Coach Shen, Xiang Kun suddenly became the object of attention and discussion in the gym. Someone even took out their mobile phones to secretly film him squatting - and all of them were burly and thick guys...

He didn't expect this bet to have such an effect, but it made Xiang Kun a little helpless.

In the end, he finished measuring the squat and deadlift data, which were 210KG and 240KG respectively.

These strength statistics have almost doubled compared to Xiang Kun's performance in college.

And from the admiration and envy in the eyes of the muscular men in the gym, we can also know that this statistic is quite good even among people who exercise regularly.

After doing some simple stretching and relaxing, Xiang Kun left the gym and went to the supermarket to buy something.

While in the supermarket, the phone rang. Xiang Kun picked it up and looked at the caller ID, but he was a little surprised - the caller was his roommate from college, and it was the roommate who took him to the gym.

This is a bit of a coincidence.

Xiang Kun was a relatively withdrawn person when he was a student, and he didn't like excitement very much.

However, no matter in middle school or university, he still has one or two close friends, and the roommate who is calling now, Chang Bin, is one of them.

"You kid, why don't you reply to messages on WeChat? Are you not using WeChat or are you deliberately not replying to me?" As soon as the phone was connected, Chang Bin on the other side complained.

"I haven't checked WeChat very much recently. I forgot to reply to my dad's message before, so my mom called to ask about it." Xiang Kun replied, "Why did you suddenly think of looking for me?"

"Of course I'm here to help you! I said, have you found a job?"

Xiang Kun was surprised: "How do you know that I lost my job?"

Chang Bin reported the company name on his mobile phone, and then said: "This is my girlfriend's company. Their company is opening a new project recently and is recruiting people. As a result, several people from the same company have applied for the job in the past few days. She said that the original company had collapsed. She heard me mention the company you were working for, so she came back and told me. I said, if you haven’t found a job yet, you can apply for it. My girlfriend said, Based on your ability and experience, there is basically no problem. Their company's treatment has always been very good. If you enter the job, the salary should not be much lower than yours before. And...my girlfriend is also in charge of recruitment now..."

Chang Bin almost didn't tell him that he would take care of him and open the back door. Xiang Kun was a little moved. Although he still had some savings, he still had to pay off the mortgage after all. It wouldn't work if he didn't work all the time. After hesitating for a while, he still said: "Thank you, Bin, but I am going to take a break during this time, and I don't want to look for a job for the time being."

"It's good to take a break. You've spent all these years on work. You've wasted your youth. Why don't you take advantage of the time now to settle lifelong affairs and have a relationship. Speaking of which... where are you now?" ?Since you are already unemployed, you should not be busy with anything, come to Xichun Road and have a meal together."

"Uh, let's forget about eating." What Xiang Kun is most afraid of now is eating with people. He basically can't eat anything now.

"Stop talking nonsense, come here right away, I'll send you the location on WeChat, and I can call you."

Xiang Kun continued to evade: "I've already eaten..."

Chang Bin, however, was very firm: "Come over after eating, I'll introduce someone to you, watch us eat!"

"Oh...you know I'm not used to socializing..."

"I said that you have been working for so many years, why haven't you figured it out yet? In this world, it is impossible to work alone and do things alone! You do projects, don't you need a large group of people and teamwork from various departments? , Is there a division of labor and cooperation? When you have nothing to do, you also get together with other old classmates,

Get in touch, help me if something happens, I'll help you, won't the relationship be close? Maybe in the future, at critical moments, reaching out to each other can turn things around? "

"I know what you said, but I have this personality..." If it was other unfamiliar people or classmates, Xiang Kun would not say so much at all, and he might not even answer the phone call, but Chang Bin and his The relationship is indeed unusual, and he also knows that Chang Bin is really thinking about him.

"Okay, okay, I won't have an ideological and political class with you today, and there are no outsiders around. The one I want to introduce to you is my girlfriend...it should be said to be my fiancée! I have mentioned it to you so many times, and we are all dating. It's been more than a year, and you haven't seen her...Anyway, if you don't come today, I'll blacklist you, what to do?"

Xiang Kun sighed, and said helplessly, "That's fine, I'll go over and chat with you, but I won't eat..."

After six o'clock, Xiang Kun rushed to the restaurant box, and met his old friend Chang Bin, whom he hadn't seen for a while, and his fiancee, Wang Han.

"Damn it, where are your glasses? How did you become bald? I'll go, I'm startled, I almost didn't recognize it." Chang Bin didn't realize who was in front of him until Xiang Kun walked up to him and sat down.

"Didn't you just lose your job, why don't you just change your image? You've already lost a lot of hair, why don't you shave it off." Xiang Kun said with a smile, then looked at the beautiful woman in a professional suit beside her friend, and said hello: "You must be Wang Han. Although today is the first time we met, I have heard Ah Bin praise you a lot."

Wang Han also smiled and said, "It's the same. Brother Bin also mentioned you often. He said that he could tell when he was a freshman that you were the smartest person in their class."

"He's poisonous milk! Yes, smart, isn't he extremely smart..." Xiang Kun stroked his bald head and smiled.

Wang Han is a petite beauty, a local, she behaves well and speaks well, and she has the temperament of a lady. I learned from Chang Bin that although Wang Han is two years younger than them, he is already a middle-level manager in the company and has a strong working ability.

However, maybe Chang Bin had already explained it before coming here. Wang Han didn't mention Xiang Kun's job in their company. It seemed to be just ordinary chatting, recalling all kinds of interesting things from his college days, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

"The beef bone soup here is very good. It tastes great. Even after you've had dinner, you can have a bowl of soup." Chang Bin said, and was about to scoop up soup for the bowl in front of Xiang Kun.

Xiang Kun quickly put the bowl away: "No, no, I'm working out recently. I just finished going to the gym and eating a nutritious meal, so I can't eat anything else."

Chang Bin was stunned for a moment, looked at him a few times, and nodded: "Well, no wonder I think you look a lot thinner, this is good, this is good, you really need to exercise, now you look better than when I saw you last time The condition is much better, almost ten years younger. Well, I also have to find time to go to the gym."

Wang Han next to him said, "How about some fruit salad?"

"No, no, I'll just drink some water and have dinner together some other day." Xiang Kun said, finally this excuse convinced the two of them.
