I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 30 Abel Boxing Gym (Happy Chinese New Year!!!)

"fitness?"

Chloe was a little surprised when she received Liu Jin's call.

You know, since she last met Liu Jin and signed the contract, Liu Jin seemed to have disappeared and had no contact with her.

If Liu Jin hadn't already handed the manuscript to Mela, Chloe would have thought he'd taken the fee and run away. But she also knew that Liu Jin couldn't do anything before the book was released, so it was normal.

"As for gyms, there are a lot of them! There are a ton of them over at City Hall Square.

But if you want something better and more reliable... Basic-Fit is a good choice.

A French gym chain, affordable, with a full range of equipment, perfect for beginners. Also, there's a Fitness Park next to your school, which is also good, but there are a lot of gays there."

Liu Jin couldn't help but complain: "Really? Then thank you!"

"Hahaha, just kidding."

Chloe couldn't help but laugh.

After laughing, she said, “Actually, you can also practice boxing. I personally think it’s better than the gym.

As you know, gyms are quite complicated, so I rarely go there. Mela and I both train at a karate gym run by a Japanese.

"Forget about the Japanese!"

Liu Jin couldn't help but say, "That thing was stolen from China. It was called Tangshou before."

"But the problem is, I haven't seen any real Chinese Kung Fu masters in Toulouse."

"Is there anyone who teaches boxing?"

"Oh, you mean boxing? I actually know a good coach.

Abel Lelouch was a former professional boxer who fought Holyfield. After retiring, he opened a gym where he teaches boxing. He's quite responsible, though the fees are a bit high. If you're interested, I'll send you his address and you can check him out... 8,000 francs a month. Pay a year's tuition and you get lifetime free use of all the gym's equipment. If you're confident, you can even challenge a boxer for a fee.

"Thank you so much!"

Liu Jin replied unhappily.

He just wanted to exercise.

Learning boxing is also for your own safety.

As mentioned before, France is not particularly safe.

The reason for choosing boxing is simple and easy to learn.

He wanted to learn some Kung Fu, but...

To be honest, the fact that Chinese Kung Fu became a joke later was also caused by many Chinese people.

He only knows fancy moves, but he insists on opening a martial arts school.

The problem is that foreigners come to us to learn practical skills.

Your philosophy of self-cultivation is useless to Chinese people, so how can you possibly fool foreigners?
Of course, we cannot deny that there are masters with real skills and knowledge.

But it’s really hard to come by!
……

The next day, I was running out of ideas, so I stopped updating for a day.

After school, Liu Jin carried his backpack and followed the address given by Chloe. He looked at several gyms and finally found the Abel Boxing Gym.

The area of ​​this boxing gym is not very large, only about four or five hundred square meters.

There is a boxing ring in the middle.

There are various instruments around.

When Liu Jin announced Chloe's name, the owner Abel appeared.

"Chloe told me you just wanted to strengthen your body and learn some self-defense skills?"

"Yes."

“Eight thousand francs a month, two lessons a week.

"A semester lasts three months, with a total of twenty-five lessons. After three months, if you want to continue studying, you can continue paying. If you don't want to study anymore, you can come and practice anytime for 1,200 francs a month. Do you agree?"

To be honest, it's a bit expensive.

But Liu Jin felt that this place looked better than those gyms.

Those big muscular guys in the gym do look good, but Liu Jin doesn’t like those dead muscles. He prefers muscles with soft lines.

For example, the people here don’t have big muscles.

However, it gives people a sense of beauty of strength, which is much more comfortable than those dead muscles piled up with protein powder!

Tuition is a bit expensive, but not unaffordable.

It’s only three months anyway!

Liu Jin immediately paid 24,000 francs for three months of teaching.

……

A touch of color is added to the boring life.

Liu Jin doesn't practice boxing every day, three days a week is enough.

At first, he was a little uncomfortable.

Body aches.

But he also knew that it was caused by the accumulation of fatty acids after strenuous exercise.

Serious boxers will have professional physiotherapists.

Liu Jin couldn't afford a physical therapist at the boxing gym, so he used his memory to practice the Eight Section Brocade from his previous life. After each boxing session, he would practice the Eight Section Brocade several times to relieve the pain in his body.

Abel also told him that he could run more often.

Of course, running is not just running around blindly, it requires guidance from someone.

Breathing, pace, posture...

Liu Jin felt that Abel, introduced by Chloe, was a boxer with real skills.

Yes, he has fought with Holyfield, a great man who even made Tyson suffer losses.

Time passes by silently.

"Little Sweethearts" has been completed halfway without us noticing.

The weather in Toulouse is getting colder as November approaches.

Especially in mid-to-late November, it rained frequently, making many people feel the first cold winter after going abroad.

Everyone's clothes started to get thicker.

After the initial period of high-intensity teaching, the school work gradually relaxed.

The lives of the international students in the class have also become much richer.

Thanks to Selena.

She is very sociable and has met many local students, and has also interacted with some international students.

They are truly international students.

From all over the world, or rather from Europe and the United States.

The coursework and teaching staff of his class are better than those of the international class where Liu Jin and his classmates are.

After all, there are only Chinese people in their international class.

For this reason, Liu Jin once again went to the school to negotiate.

But what Lao Pi said is also very reasonable: the people in your class find it very difficult to teach in English, can they accept teaching in French?
Well, just one sentence left Liu Jin speechless.

"Liu, I heard that you wrote a novel and are preparing to publish it?"

"You know it too?"

“Hahaha, many people have heard about this and know that there is a writer in your class.

If you like, I can transfer you to another class. You have no problem with English and French, so you should be able to adapt to the international class."

Liu Jin was a little moved!

But after thinking about it, he decided to reject Lao Pi's kindness.

"Let's finish the first year first. If it's still the same next year, I'll switch classes."

"no problem!"

In fact, Liu Jin knew it very well.

Their class will still be in the same state next year.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t work hard.

Really...how to say it?

Ma Jun and his classmates all signed up for French classes after school.

But the environment around you is still mainly composed of Chinese people, and you can never get out of this circle.

In his previous life, Liu Jin had a very good friend who studied abroad at Newcastle University.

He once went to visit, but when he entered the dormitory building, he heard only the Central Plains dialect, which made him think he was back home.

The business school's initial enrollment was a trial-and-error process.

In a few years, the situation of opening international classes exclusively for Chinese people will gradually decrease.

Mela contacted Liu Jin twice to inquire about the Top-chef plan.

To be honest, Liu Jin was quite interested at first.

But as he entered into his creative state, he forgot about it.

If Meila hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have remembered it.

It just so happened that my writing was not going well recently, so I simply put "Little Sweethearts" aside, took a day to complete the plan, and sent it to Mela's email.

Strange to say.

As the plan was completed, the ideas for the novel suddenly became clear.

Many things that I hadn't figured out before suddenly became clear.

Liu Jin's writing speed also increased a lot. Before he knew it, he had completed three-quarters of the plot, with only the ending left.

It’s already late November!

I will try to finish the book before the 20th.

Liu Jin secretly made up his mind to catch up during the weekend.

However, on November 11, an unexpected phone call forced him to embark on the journey to Paris again.

　Today is still three

　　I wish you all the best in the Year of the Snake.
