372: Chapter 369 Old Zhang's job, even a dog wouldn't take it.

"Sigh, Old Li, you guys ran all the way here?"

"You're back, Old Zhang. How was it? Comfortable?"

Seeing Zhang Zhao enter, Zhou Sheng's voice rang out.

"Don't talk, keep going!"

Li Changsheng's scolding voice rang out, and then Zhang Zhao saw Old Zhou with a stifled face, huffing and puffing as he lay back down, laboriously and tremblingly lifting the barbell in his hands.

That's right, they were currently in the gym, and Zhang Zhao saw, as if seeing a ghost, Old Zhou doing bench presses with a barbell.

"Old Li, you're heartless! Bullying an old man, is this weight something someone my age should be enduring?"

Old Zhou shouted aggrievedly, feeling like he was about to be crushed.

Hearing this, Li Changsheng had a strange expression and scolded, "Are you really that old? And is this weight really that heavy? Even a primary school student could lift it!"

As he spoke, Li Changsheng reached out and casually lifted the barbell.

Because the barbell didn't have a single weight plate; it was just a pure steel barbell rod, weighing less than seven kilograms at most.

"No! No! You guys... Old Zhou, you..."

Zhang Zhao was completely dumbfounded; today was simply ridiculous. What on earth was he seeing?

This fellow Old Zhou was actually exercising?

If someone said Boss Ma was here lifting weights, he would believe it, but seeing Old Zhou exercising here gave him a sense of unreality.

"Hehe, Old Zhou was stubborn, so now he's paying for his stubbornness. By the way, how do you feel? Didn't Old Chen come back with you?"

Li Changsheng was also curious about Old Zhang's situation.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, he saw that Old Zhang's expression was somewhat unnatural.

He saw him mumble, and only after a while did he say helplessly, "Old Chen went back after finishing his business. He's taking the route from Hong Kong to Shenzhen, preparing to return to his hometown.

I... I... as for me, I feel alright, I guess. I finished. It's just..."

"It's just what?" Old Zhou asked curiously.

"It's just that the lady said earning my money was too exhausting. For others, a session is one or two hours, but with me, it takes at least four hours." Old Zhang's face turned red.

"Ho, isn't that great? It feels like your physique wasn't trained in vain; you got your money's worth."

This time it was Azure Dragon who spoke, giving a knowing smile that all men understand.

Li Changsheng vaguely felt that things weren't that simple.

Sure enough, Zhang Zhao's next words were, "No, the moment I finished was quick, but the location was wrong."

"Location was wrong?"

"That lady used all eighteen techniques on me. In the end, her hands were sore, her legs were numb, her mouth lost sensation, and her chest was swollen from the pressure.

That's how... well... I finally finished."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhao turned his face away, his old face as red as a baboon's butt.

At this moment, everyone was silent, absolute silence!

After a long silence, Li Changsheng finally patted Zhang Zhao heavily on the shoulder.

"Old Zhang, don't worry, everything has a beginning. Take it slow. First, consult Master Wan about the training methods for the Modern Version of Virgin Boy Skills and make changes to your cultivation method.

Then I'll help you find a way to at least make your inner and outer self consistent."

"Those words... well, I suppose that's all I can do."

Zhang Zhao nodded. His mind was a bit of a mess; he felt like he had gone today, yet also like he hadn't.

The lady wanted to earn money while enjoying herself, but she ended up doing the workload of a bricklayer. These days, no profession is easy.

The next day, the cruise ship soon set sail again.

In the following period, Li Changsheng took on some additional tasks, such as nursing Boss Ma's body and finding ways for Zhang Zhao to clear the meridians in that particular area.

Three days passed. According to the schedule, it would take nearly seven days to get from Hong Kong to the port in Zhejiang Province. No one was in a hurry about this arrangement; they were already in domestic waters and weren't worried about anything.

"Mhm, okay, Grandma, I know. I've just been working out of town; I'll be home in a few days."

"About the phone, work was too busy, and this company is in the bio-electronics industry. Mobile phones are banned inside the company, and my situation is a bit special."

Hearing his grandmother's voice from the other end, Li Changsheng's eyes turned red, and his nose felt a bit sore.

His grandmother's voice was the same as ever, but Li Changsheng could vaguely hear a hint of fatigue.

Reasonably speaking, his grandmother, who practiced Vajra Longevity Qigong, shouldn't be like this after not seeing him for a few months. The only possibility was that her mood had affected her health.

This was what's known as a Heart Ailment.

"Changsheng, are you going to leave again after you come back this time?"

"No! I'm not going out anymore, Grandma. I've earned enough money this time. From now on, the two of us will have more than enough to spend for the rest of our lives."

"Good! That's good! It's better not to go out. Traveling so far without a phone... someone who didn't know better would think you'd been caught in a telecom scam. You don't know, there's been news about scams luring people abroad lately; it's terrifying to watch."

His grandmother's cheerful voice came through. She was clearly worried sick, yet she forced herself to speak in a teasing, joking tone.

Li Changsheng sighed in his heart. He could imagine what kind of terrible thoughts had flashed through the old lady's mind every day because she couldn't contact him, and how much of a psychological burden that must have placed on her.

At this moment, Li Changsheng felt like slapping himself twice.

"By the way, Changsheng, now that you've earned enough money and don't plan on going out again... have you found a girlfriend yet?"

"This... this... Grandma, this matter..."

"You want to say there's no rush again, don't you? You brat, how many times have you fooled me? Every time it's 'next time, next time.' How many days until you're home?"

His grandmother's voice on the other end was clearly a bit indignant; this grandson of hers was just too much trouble.

"Well, most likely in about four or five days."

Li Changsheng made an estimate. Arriving in Zhejiang Province in four days and then flying to Chu Province should be quite fast.

"Then it's settled."

"What's settled?"

"Does it even need saying? Since you're so useless, as your grandmother, I naturally have to arrange things for you. You said you're not going out anymore, which is good. How could a wife from outside be as reliable as someone from the village?"

"If you don't like anyone from the village, I'll look around the neighboring towns. If that still won't do, then the city."

"If you don't want someone with little education, I'll ask my former students who are now teachers at the school to see if they're interested."

"I don't believe it; my Changsheng is so outstanding, girls would have to be blind not to see it."

"But Changsheng, let me tell you, you can't let me down at a time like this."

Listening to his grandmother's nagging, Li Changsheng felt his head swell.

Oh no, he had actually forgotten about this matter that his grandmother was so obsessed with.

"Grandma, you don't need to be in such a hurry. I've just returned; this matter can wait, there's no rush," Li Changsheng quickly made an excuse.

"Mhm, true. Well, in the next few days, I'll prepare the foods you love. You must be careful on your way back; make sure to take legitimate transport and don't try to save a few pennies by being cheap."

Listening to his grandmother's familiar nagging, Li Changsheng felt a bit helpless yet warm in his heart.
