Chapter 33: Remorse

Everyone counted the plates stacked high in front of Gong Yuze.

"It's also ten plates!"

"He's got the eleventh plate in his hand!"

Gong Yuze put down the eleventh plate of Niu River in his hand!

Everyone's eyes converged on his plate. This plate decides the fate of all the betting workers.

"Half of it was eaten!!" Hearing these words, Zhang Shizhu's tower-like body slid off the stool, and he knelt on one leg, one hand on his chest, sweating profusely. It was as if he had been stretched out to breathe.

But no one cared about him, and all the workers flocked to the ...... of the year manager.

The moment the results came out. Manager Nian closed his eyes in pain, and he secretly cursed in his heart: Fuck!

His face was facing Zhang Shizhu, and he sat motionless, like a grinning dog, and then he slammed the table.

Zhang Shizhu heard a slap on the table, but he didn't know where the sound came from because he was about to fall.

Gong Yuze put down the plate, and he realized that there was no doubt that his face had shown a painful expression.

He felt that this 30 minutes was like a tightrope walker, walking on a tightrope with both feet, slowly tense, groping for the only correct point, trembling with the abyss under his feet, but very accurate.

He was glad that he had reached the finish line accurately!

The workers who won the bet were elated. One by one, they counted the money they had won. The loser hung his head and went out in disgrace.

……

Gong Yuze folded the cowhide envelope containing the bonus in half and stuffed it into his trouser pocket.

At this time, he saw Zhang Shizhu, who was kneeling on one leg and motionless: "Are you okay?"

“……”

Gong Yuze didn't get any answer at first, turned around and walked out of the hotel. Zhang Shizhu couldn't say a word at this time.

He didn't know what to do with Manager Nian and the players in the association.

He remembers when he first met the fighters......

Some of them looked at him through their desks, their attitudes mild and ambiguous, and their expressions seemed to say that his revenge for becoming the king of the stomach was very touching. Touching and commendable, like the dreams of all youth, this is a bizarre and incorrigible and attractive dream. Some of them pursed their thin lips and smiled at him. It seemed happy to see him appear, and there were also some people who spoke coldly, as if Zhang Shizhu's ambition was an insult to him personally.

Some people speak abruptly, and their sharp high voices seem to say that he needs a real big stomach companion, and they have always needed it, but Zhang Shizhu never seems to be worthy of this qualification.

Zhang Shizhu wanted to find the reason for this failure immediately. He struggled to his feet. Staggered out.

He finally caught up with Gong Yuze.

"Please wait a minute. After he called out to Gong Yuze, he asked:

"Why am I losing?"

Gong Yuze saw clearly that it was Zhang Shizhu, he stopped, leaned on the telephone pole, and breathed a long sigh of relief: "To be honest, I'm quite surprised to see that you can eat so much in one bite." Gong Yuze said and sat down on the road, and Zhang Shizhu also sat down next to him.

"But it's that that's what can lead to your failure. ”

"Why?"

"If you put too much food into your mouth every time, it will inevitably cause you to drink more water, even if you want to control it, but you will involuntarily drink a little more. ”

When Zhang Shizhu heard this, he nodded slightly. He wiped his sweat and took out a box of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, took out two, and handed one of them to Gong Yuze,

Gong Yuze waved his hand and continued: "I also found that one of your actions was to sprinkle pepper and salt into the Niu River a few times. ”

"Although you don't scatter a lot of times, the total amount of them together should still be a lot. ”

"I couldn't eat anymore and wanted to change my taste......"

"But it's also the same as increasing salt intake, and your approach, if it's a five-minute or ten-minute fast food game, it may not have much impact, but like today's one, it's ......."

Zhang Shizhu lowered his head and listened to Gong Yuze's words quietly: "That's true!" He pinched his knuckles to rattle. At the same time, he felt the muscles in his hands contract in embarrassment, and this embarrassment was not due to his weakness being exposed. More so because the weakness is exposed under the eyes of a peer.

"You may not drink that much yourself, but you drink more than I do, and it will make your appetite swell up quickly. ”

"Yes, so I can't eat the eleventh portion of the day anyway!"

Zhang Shizhu's mobile phone rang: "Manager Nian...... I'm sorry! I'm ...... I ......"

"Stop talking, what the hell are you going on?" was the cold voice of Manager Nian on the other end of the phone.

"Didn't I tell you before the game, if you feel that the second half of the situation is not good, just merge the two plates into one bowl, and pour tea into it!" Manager Nian's voice was a little angry.

"But I, I don't want to use ......" Zhang Shizhu didn't finish this sentence when he heard Manager Nian snap and hung up the phone.

Gong Yuze didn't hear the voice on the other end of the phone. But he seemed to feel something: "Who are you today's bookmaker? ”

"He's my superior, a training manager for the Southern Big Stomach Association. ”

Gong Yuze was shocked.

Zhang Shizhu told Gong Yuze what he was on the phone just now: "I really don't want to...... , I kind of regret it. ”

"What do you regret?" Gong Yuze asked

"Membership. ”

Gong Yuze originally wanted to say something to persuade him to withdraw from the meeting, but as soon as the words came out, it became: "You need to decide for yourself." ”

Zhang Shizhu turned his head and asked, "Which organization are you?"

"Neither is the organization. ”

……

Gong Yuze returned to the small hotel.

He sat down and opened the blue book. It's a new page again.

After writing it, he still set aside a hundred of the money, and put the rest in the trolley case. After locking the box, he shuffled the code.

Then Gong Yuze leaned on the bed and deposited Zhang Shizhu's phone number, he stared at the TV for a while, got up and walked into the toilet, soaked the chopsticks in the pool, and then took the disinfectant, carefully and carefully cleaned it from beginning to end.

The delicate and white foam kept changing shapes in his hands. He rinsed and dried his chopsticks and put them in the chopstick case.

He's leaving here and heading to the next city......

In the early morning, on the long-distance bus, Gong Yuze saw the city far away in the sky, the sky gradually brightened, shining with blue-green glass-like light, and the buildings were like clouds dense on the glass, frozen at a right angle, and the sun was shining in the clouds......
