As soon as Claude finished the fight, he was so tired that he fell asleep, so he had to cancel some of the interviews he was supposed to take, and left the rest to Old George and the people from ZYF Company.
This isn't a bad thing... Letting Claude maintain a bit of mystery might make him more famous.
Cheng Hao and Bob took Claude to his lounge.
Claude is very heavy, and this job is not easy, but fortunately Cheng Hao is very strong.
Cheng Hao supported Claude with his left hand and asked Bob to open the door. As soon as the door opened, he saw Lin Yuxun.
Lin Yuxun changed his hairstyle, wore a suitable suit, and held a briefcase in his hand. This was a common outfit for the middle class in the United States, making him look much more mature.
Cheng Hao was stunned. Lin Yuxun had said before that he would come over, but he didn't see him this morning... He thought Lin Yuxun would not come.
"I'm a little late... Is it too heavy for you to support him?" Lin Yuxun saw Cheng Hao and hurried over to help support Claude, fearing that Cheng Hao would be tired.
He had actually told Cheng Hao that he wanted to come over a long time ago, but he was too busy and never found the time until this morning.
He came here by plane, and when he arrived the game was about to start, so he did not disturb Cheng Hao. Instead, he went to the place where Cheng Hao and his friends rented. According to what Cheng Hao had said before, he found Cheng Hao's room and took his work ID card from inside, and finally came here to wait.
"It's not too late." Cheng Hao laughed: "But I will be very busy from now on, I'm afraid I won't have time to accompany you."
Claude became the boxing champion, and he and Old George will definitely have a lot of things to do in the future. He is afraid that he will not have time to accompany Lin Yuxun.
"It's okay! Do you need my help?" Lin Yu asked.
"Okay." Cheng Hao agreed. There aren't many things to deal with around a boxer, and they're quite simple. Lin Yuxun can definitely do it.
Lin Yuxun was indeed capable of doing it. He even helped to revise the interview manuscript they planned to give to the media.
When Claude woke up and jumped up to ask for food and drink, he watched Claude recite some interviews.
They were very busy for the next two days, and at the same time, Claude became completely famous.
There is no American boxing fan who doesn’t know Claude.
The TV station even edited together all of Claude's game videos in this professional competition and played them on TV in rotation.
When this video was broadcast, the TV station's ratings were always high. At the beginning, people would see Claude quickly take out his opponent with one, two, or three quick strikes as soon as the referee's whistle sounded. As for later...
The matches between Claude, August and Carroll were arranged at the end. When these two matches started playing, although Claude no longer crushed his opponents, they were still exciting to watch.
Two veteran boxing champions lost to an unknown person!
People always like this kind of thing, so more and more people began to pay attention to Claude.
The magazine that included an interview with Black Bear Claude also sold very well.
Old George and the others didn't completely hide Claude's intellectual problems, but they did somewhat embellish them, saying only that Claude had no talent for learning, knew very few words, and had barely been to school.
If such a background were placed on a celebrity, people would be disgusted, but since Claude is an athlete, everyone easily accepted it.
Some people even think that Claude is very unique and cool.
For a while, when boxing fans were chatting, the topic they talked about most was Claude: "Did you watch Black Bear's match?"
"Look at it, he's really amazing!"
"He actually beat Carol, so cool!"
"I prefer his match with August!"
"I heard that August lost to Carol because he bumped into him at the beginning and got injured."
"Carol and August are so unlucky to have run into him!"
…
Everyone is paying attention to Claude, so there is less attention paid to other boxers, such as Andy.
Andy is also a dark horse who suddenly appeared in the boxing world this year. He was as famous as Cheng Hao before. In this competition, as long as he can get into the top three, he will definitely have many fans.
And he does have this ability. His strength is actually only slightly inferior to August and Carol.
However, Claude showed up.
With Claude riding so far ahead, no one noticed Andy at all. Even many of the fans that Andy had attracted before the game turned their attention to Claude.
OC company was furious.
But old George was happy.
Before, because Claude always caused trouble, Old George always frowned and scolded him when he was with him. But these past few days, Old George smiled as soon as he saw Claude and was particularly kind to him.
After getting the boxing championship belt and on the way back, Old George was so attentive to Claude. Not only did he not let Claude take anything, he also bought him whatever Claude wanted to eat.
And Claude... Cheng Hao thought Claude would be surprised to see Old George like this, but he wasn't.
Claude quickly accepted the changes in Old George and began to make further demands.
After Lin Yuxun came to Cheng Hao's place, he stayed there for two nights and then went back with Cheng Hao and the others.
He had helped with a lot of things over the past two days, and Cheng Hao hadn't had time to talk to him much... Cheng Hao felt a little guilty, so as soon as he got on the train, he let Lin Yuxun rest in the sleeper berth and said, "Yuxun, I'll get you some water. Is there anything else you want to eat?"
"I brought food with me, no need to buy anything else." Lin Yuxun said quickly.
On the other side, Claude had already started ordering what he wanted: "George, I want Coke, chicken roll, bacon roll, cake..."
"Why didn't you tell me before we got on the train? And we already brought a lot of food." Old George was a little depressed. The things on the train were much more expensive!
"I want those!" Claude insisted.
"Okay..." Old George actually bought it for Claude.
Then Claude kept eating, and after he finished, he gave the garbage to Old George to throw away.
Cheng Hao felt that Claude was a little too inflated.
If he continues like this, he will be in trouble.
Old George might be happy now and obey him in everything, but it would never last forever.
Old George really couldn't stay like this forever.
After returning home and resting for two days, George finally couldn't stand Claude playing video games all day long anymore: "Claude, it's time for you to train."
"I'll play for a while longer." Claude said without raising his head.
"You've been playing for a long time." said Old George.
Claude was no longer afraid of Old George: "I still want to play! And I want to eat cake!"
Old George looked at Claude quietly, and finally snatched Claude's game console away, roaring, "No cake! Go train!"
Not only that, but soon the house was filled with Old George's roars: "Claude, what's wrong with you? You've gained ten pounds! Ten pounds! You're going to turn into a fat pig!"
"Hurry up and train!"
"You can never eat high-calorie foods again!"
…
After returning from the game, it was Christmas. Cheng Hao took Lin Yuxun and Danny to celebrate Christmas with Old George and others, and watched Old George chasing Claude in a panic.
Generally speaking, the heavier a boxer is, the stronger they are, but this also makes their movements less flexible.
Claude was actually a bit heavy originally, weighing 200 kilograms for a height of less than 1.8 meters. Now...
Cheng Hao said, "Old George, don't be too angry. He just ate too much. Of the ten pounds of fat, at least three pounds were eaten by him."
What Cheng Hao said was not wrong, but even so, Claude gained seven pounds. Under the urging of old George, he had to start training just after Christmas Eve. No matter how much he acted like a spoiled child, it was of no use.
I knew it would be like this... Cheng Hao couldn't feel any sympathy when he saw Claude hugging Old George's thighs and howling.
Because of Claude's good innate conditions, his training volume is already very small... If he really lives the life that Claude wants, he will definitely get fat to death!
After Christmas Eve, Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun returned to their rented house.
As soon as he got home, Cheng Hao gave Lin Yuxun a bank card: "Yuxun, I made a lot of money before, here it is."
"You gave me all the money, what are you going to do? I'm not short of money..." Lin Yuxun was a little helpless. Before, Cheng Hao sent his salary back every week, and he had refused, but Cheng Hao was very persistent.
Cheng Hao said, "It's our family's custom that if you have a partner, you have to hand over your salary! Besides, I have money around me."
Cheng Hao also kept some money with him, but he didn't have many places to spend it, so he basically couldn't spend the money except to buy snacks for Claude.
Lin Yuxun was about to refuse, but after hearing what Cheng Hao said, he couldn't bear to refuse anymore - Cheng Hao was handing over his salary to his girlfriend! To his girlfriend!
What if he doesn't accept Cheng Hao and gives him to someone else?
Cheng Hao added, "By the way, let's go buy a house. It's really inconvenient not having our own house."
People abroad seem to like renting houses, but Cheng Hao still wants his own house. It doesn’t have to be big, a small one will do, but after all, it’s comfortable to live in his own house.
"I'll buy it after the New Year," Lin Yuxun said. He had invested all his money, but he could get a loan to buy a house. The money required to buy a small house was a huge sum for him before, but it was nothing to him now. "If I only pay for the down payment, $20,000 will be enough..."
"So cheap?" Cheng Hao was a little surprised.
"The apartments here are not expensive." Lin Yuxun said.
Cheng Hao was pleasantly surprised at this moment: "In that case, the money in my bank account is enough! When Claude played in the game before, I went to bet. Although I didn't make much, I made a little money."
Such large-scale professional boxing matches can be bet on. This time Claude participated in the match, so Cheng Hao took a little money to bet, and bet on Claude to win every time.
He didn't make much money in the initial preliminaries, but he still won two thousand dollars. Cheng Hao kept the principal and half of the profit, and used the remaining one thousand dollars to bet on Claude to win when Claude and August were competing.
In just this one game, his one thousand dollars turned into ten thousand dollars.
After that, the odds of betting on Claude to win were very low, but his principal had become $10,000 by then, so he won a lot in the end. Now there is almost $30,000 in that card.
They can buy a house.
"In the future we will have a house, a home that truly belongs to us." Cheng Hao said with a smile.
Lin Yuxun was slightly stunned. He had not realized this before... Now when he heard Cheng Hao say "our home", he felt a surge of joy from the bottom of his heart, his eyes sparkling: "Yeah!"
"After the New Year, we'll go house hunting and pick one together." Cheng Hao said, kissing Lin Yuxun.
Lin Yuxun's face immediately turned red.
Although she had already confirmed her relationship with Lin Yuxun, Cheng Hao was injured at the beginning and later went out before his injury was fully healed. The two of them had never been close to each other, and a kiss was the most intimate action they had ever taken.
Mustering up his courage, Lin Yuxun also kissed Cheng Hao.
Cheng Hao was kissed and smiled. He hugged Lin Yuxun and kissed him on the lips.
While the relationship between Cheng Hao and Lin Yuxun was getting closer, on the other side, Old George received an invitation from Eustace to challenge Claude.
