243: Chapter 240 The Mission Has Arrived

Zhang Zhao shook his head, his face showing a hint of envy.

"I used to worry about making a living, so my sleep was poor for a while, and relying on this helped me improve it a bit. However, it's not great for some people with insomnia either; usually, practicing for a few dozen minutes is enough, otherwise, it might easily affect your sleep instead.

Besides that, the most profound thing I heard from a Daoist priest was that as long as you are comfortable, as long as you sleep comfortably, that's all that matters.

If you insist on pursuing health preservation, besides the 'Returning Yang Lying' and 'Hunyuan Lying' positions, there are also the 'Left Dragon, Right Tiger' and 'Supine Corpse' positions.

If I don't feel comfortable sleeping in the Returning Yang or Hunyuan positions, I just switch to the Left Dragon, Right Tiger, or Supine Corpse positions. Anyway, I just do whatever is comfortable."

Zhang Zhao was also a very easygoing person.

Li Changsheng highly agreed with this statement of his; as long as the body itself is healthy and the sleep quality is good, then there is no problem.

However, the sleeping methods he mentioned did require frequent attention. Li Changsheng felt that he met most of the criteria, so there was no need to pay too much attention.

As for the 'Left Dragon', he actually knew it; it was essentially side-sleeping, which is what the ancients called 'sleeping like a bow'.

The advantages of side-sleeping are that it can prevent back and neck pain and reduce snoring. It is especially suitable for pregnant women because, in a side-lying position, blood flows to the liver, and the liver is responsible for storing blood. The downside is that it easily causes wrinkles or can cause breast sagging.

"Sleeping Tiger" is actually sleeping on your stomach, with the sleeping posture like a tiger crouching. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Dragon is considered the Liver, and the Liver governs blood; the Tiger is the Lung, and the Lung governs Qi. It emphasizes that sleeping on one's stomach can nourish Lung Qi and enhance lung function.

The downside is that it easily causes discomfort in the cervical spine, neck, and back. Those who already have issues should definitely not sleep this way.

Furthermore, it puts pressure on the stomach; as the saying goes, 'If the stomach is not harmonious, sleep will not be peaceful.' That is the logic. Secondly, it is also easy to cause a stiff neck, though it is quite effective for snoring.

As for the 'Supine Corpse' position, it is actually similar to the 'Great Spread Corpse' method. This method is considered healthier compared to the previous two.

However, you cannot place your hands on your chest, otherwise you are prone to nightmares and experiencing 'sleep paralysis'.

But it is not suitable for those with asthma and snoring.

As for modern medicine, it considers lying on the right side with legs slightly bent to be the most scientific.

Li Changsheng's conclusion was: regardless of how one sleeps, as long as it is comfortable, it is fine, because it is difficult for a normal person to consistently maintain the same posture after falling asleep.

Unless it is the elderly; the elderly belong to 'literary sleeping', mostly sleeping without moving until dawn.

Meanwhile, on the other side, after Anya parted ways with Li Changsheng and the others, she hurried to the office upstairs.

In Durant's office, the projection screen was playing the previous footage of Li Changsheng's assessment, especially the slow-motion shots of him running, his body posture almost like a feline predator, and the movement of his muscles during high-speed motion, which was extremely explosive.

"Old Anya, do you see? This is the talent I want. He is the most perfect Treasure Trove. I believe this is definitely my opportunity to turn things around.

Perfect physical fitness—no! 'Perfect' can no longer describe him; he is superhuman. This kind of physical fitness reaches the extreme in every aspect. I really don't know how his body, which is so balanced in every way, managed to achieve this."

"Yes, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that anyone in the world could achieve this."

"Unfortunately, I don't have genetic research equipment here, otherwise I would really like to collect his DNA for analysis. However, it's better to leave professional matters to the professionals. Send his recording to Genentech; I believe they will be interested."

Durant crossed his hands to support his chin, his expression very excited.

Initially, he had some interest in this Mr. Li, but at first, he was just holding onto the idea of giving it a try; otherwise, he wouldn't have been continuously recruiting relevant talent recently.

But it was precisely because of this 'give it a try' idea that he surprisingly discovered a Treasure Trove.

"Boss, should we just send it to Genentech like this?" Anya asked.

"Send it over, but pay attention to the channel. Don't let those old guys intercept it. In their eyes, I am currently the key to resolving the conflict.

The item can be sent secretly to the Tech Company, but the terms can be negotiated slowly. Before officially entering the Tech Company, I don't want to see any accidents happen."

Durant found a comfortable sitting position; although there was a smile on his face, he remained highly vigilant.

Now is the critical moment. He must hold onto this Mr. Li tightly, keep him in his grasp; only then will there be a possibility to continue sitting at the negotiating table with the Tech Company.

"Alright, Boss!" Anya nodded with a solemn expression.

——

Over these past few days, Li Changsheng discovered that there was no possibility of him going out. Durant seemed to want to keep him in the club, and his activity area was limited to the second and third floors; he was not allowed to go down to the first-floor club lobby.

Regarding this, Li Changsheng roughly understood Durant's intentions.

"It seems this Mr. Durant has indeed treated me as a bargaining chip. Being this careful with me, it looks like I should be able to make contact with the Tech Company very soon."

The more troublesome thing was that he couldn't go out to relax, nor could he get in touch with Zhou Guoli.

Upon entering here, all communication devices were temporarily intercepted by Durant; only devices provided by them were allowed to be used.

"Fortunately, Old Zhou had the foresight regarding this matter."

Recalling the photo Old Zhou had briefly shown him a few days ago, Li Changsheng already had it memorized.

The photo at the time was of a middle-aged Asian face, quite thin, with a somewhat dull appearance, wearing thick glasses.

According to what Old Zhou said, the photo was from three years ago, but there wasn't much difference from now. Since that was the case, Li Changsheng was no longer in a rush.

Anyway, he had memorized the target's appearance; next, he would just wait until he entered there to find a way to make contact with the other party.

These past few days were actually quite fulfilling; there was no shortage of various training equipment here, and there were professional nutritionists, physiotherapists, and a professional medical team providing services—it could be called a top-tier star-level experience here.

And on the third day after entering the club, in the morning, Anya came to their group's third-floor training room.

Seeing Anya, who hadn't been seen for a few days, appear again, everyone stopped what they were doing, feeling a bit curious.

"Everyone, please prepare yourselves. The boss has something to attend to and needs to go out; he requires your protection. Equipment will be sent over shortly, so please wait a moment."

After giving the instruction, Anya bowed slightly and retreated.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng noticed that apart from himself and Zhang Zhao, the others, Kenneth and Kanai Shuichi, both breathed a sigh of relief.

They had been here for several days, and the previously agreed-upon wages had already been given to them via anonymous bank cards. Eating, drinking, training every day, and receiving a high salary—everyone was actually somewhat uneasy in their hearts.

"Brother Li, it looks like it's time to work."

Zhang Zhao wiped his sweat, patted Li Changsheng on the shoulder, and laughed, then immediately walked towards the washroom.
