97: Chapter 97 Now I Call the Rules

Ma Dongxi personally saw Zhao Xiaoshuai downstairs.

Although legally this fitness center already belonged to Zhao Xiaoshuai, many things had not yet been handed over.

Because it happened so suddenly, he also needed to make arrangements bit by bit.

"Boss Ma, coming down to inspect the work?"

Seeing Ma Dongxi personally see the person off, with a bright smile on his face, not looking like the negotiation had collapsed, Lin Yongbo felt a slight sense of foreboding rise in his heart.

"So it's Young Master Lin."

Ma Dongxi greeted Lin Yongbo with a chuckle.

Before today, he absolutely would not have imagined that a common dispute over jealousy could end up being played out on such a large scale. Looking at this second young master of the Lin family, he even felt a bit of pity for him.

Although there were many people in Chuncheng whom he couldn't afford to offend given his status, it wasn't as if he would run into one just by casually going to the gym.

Zhao Xiaoshuai looked at the two who had come to his door and smiled slightly.

"Boss Ma, those few rules you just changed today, can they all be changed back now?"

"That goes without saying. Now that you are..."

This sentence made Lin Yongbo's bad premonition come true. Unable to contain his impatience, he immediately interrupted Ma Dongxi, "Boss Ma, what do you mean by going back on your word? Is this you not giving face to my Lin family?"

Zhao Xiaoshuai leisurely added:

"The old bald guy said something quite right just now, 'Some people follow the rules, while some people make the rules.'"

"And now, the rules are set by me."

"By what right!"

Ma Dongxi might need to invest in related industries in the future and still had to rely on the Lin family's favor, so he hurriedly explained:

"Young Master Lin, please forgive me. It's just that the owner of this shop has already changed to Mr. Zhao, so of course it's up to him. Even if I wanted to help you, I'm powerless to do so."

"What!?"

Even Lin Yongbo hadn't expected the truth to be like this.

His worst estimate was that Zhao Xiaoshuai had impulsively spent a few hundred thousand to buy shares and had enforced the request as a shareholder.

He didn't expect that the guy had directly bought the entire fitness center!

This fitness center was considered quite good in the same industry in Chuncheng; it would take at least three or four million to set it up.

Moreover, given the personality of that old fox Ma Dongxi, he wouldn't necessarily let go for a few hundred thousand in profit.

He must have spent at least five million!

Was it worth it?

Just for a dispute over jealousy?

What kind of family is this? Do they have a mine at home?

Originally, whether this rule was changed or not had no meaning anymore; Meng Yawen had already obtained the entire business, and she was no longer in the category of a fitness coach.

But Zhao Xiaoshuai was just doing it on purpose; he just wanted to see the ugly faces of these two.

He continued calmly:

"You like to compete in financial power, so I competed with you in financial power. As a result, the old turtle pulled its head in, held it for more than ten days before daring to stick it out to take another bite, and ended up breaking its own dentures."

Chen Guozhong's face turned purple, but he couldn't refute it. He really couldn't gauge what kind of player Zhao Xiaoshuai was anymore.

"You like to play with the rules, so I bought the whole center for seven million, jumping out of the rules. Now you are the ones being played with, so what can you do?"

Lin Yongbo said indignantly: "Boss Zhao, do you even know what my Lin family does? I can make your costs rise by ten or twenty percent with just one word, do you believe it?"

Zhao Xiaoshuai didn't care at all how much power his so-called Lin family actually had:

"Just now, the old bald guy said you had a lot of face, and I said I wanted to test how much, but it seems it's not that much."

"Now, you say how powerful your family is, and I want to test it again to see how powerful your family really is."

"It's just, don't you need to consider whether you can afford the price?"

Lin Yongbo asked: "What a joke, what price would I need to pay?"

"The price of making me an enemy for your family," Zhao Xiaoshuai said, enunciating every word.

A single word wakes the dreamer.

After all, Lin Yongbo wasn't a complete idiot, and only now did he suddenly come to his senses.

The person in front of him had already proven his extremely strong financial power, and he was only the second son of the Lin family; the family heir was his older brother.

So, if he really created such an opponent for the family, the price he would have to pay would not be something that could be settled with just a few reprimands.

By then, it would be hard to say how much of the free and enjoyable life he had left would remain.

But facing so many people, as a young man full of vigor, he couldn't bring himself to back down in public.

Fortunately, Ma Dongxi was an old fox who didn't want to offend either side:

"Oh my, look at this matter. It's all my fault. It's all because I didn't set the activity rules well, and then went back on my word, causing a misunderstanding between the two of you."

"How about tonight, I host a banquet at the Shangri-La to apologize to you both?"

Lin Yongbo accepted the out, and without much hesitation, he took the opportunity to back down, "No need, I have an appointment tonight. I'll just go to another gym in the future."

After speaking, he left without looking back.

Once Lin Yongbo left, Chen Guozhong naturally couldn't stay either, but the lively atmosphere in the lobby didn't diminish much.

"Xiaodong, during the lunch break later, call everyone for a meeting to officially announce the change of ownership of the center."

After instructing his assistant, Ma Dongxi said to the former employees in the lobby:

"Everyone, from now on, your boss will no longer be me, but this Boss Zhao!"

"Oh, that's not right, I almost forgot. This center has already been gifted to Miss Meng Yawen by Boss Zhao, so your theoretical boss from now on is Miss Meng!"

Shen Liqin swallowed dryly.

This was just too magical. She still remembered the naive look Meng Yawen had when she came for an interview not long ago.

How long had it been, and she had already become the owner of such a big fitness center? Her own boss?

She couldn't help but steal a glance at Zhao Xiaoshuai.

Truly, you can't judge a book by its cover. At first, she thought he was just a delivery guy, but she didn't expect him to be a rich man experiencing life!

Once she recalled Zhao Xiaoshuai's appearance in her memory, she suddenly realized with a start: was the person in her memory the same person as this one now?

Because they met every day, she had overlooked this, and now she could only marvel at it.

Unlike Shen Liqin, Gong Meimei's world had completely collapsed.

Why, on what grounds!

That Meng Yawen was just a student who hadn't graduated yet, and not only did she get full-time employee benefits as soon as she joined the company.

Usually, whenever she opened a class, piles and piles of people would rush to sign up.

In the end, who knows what kind of dumb luck she had to hook a golden turtle son-in-law—no, you couldn't even call him a golden turtle son-in-law anymore, he was practically a big golden dragon!

Such a large fitness center, it must be worth millions, and he just gave it away like that?

She thought back to what she had seen before: Meng Yawen's mountain of luxury goods, as well as luxury cars and mansions.

And that god-like man, she originally had the opportunity to have him assigned to her!

If that bitch Shen Liqin hadn't played smart back then and assigned this rich man to her, then everything Meng Yawen had today would be hers!

Gong Meimei was like a lemon spirit who had attained enlightenment; she almost made herself die of jealousy.

Checking the time, there was still enough time, so Zhao Xiaoshuai hurriedly said to his little girlfriend:

"Let's go, my Boss Meng, we haven't had our fat-loss class today yet."

Meng Yawen boldly went over and kissed her boyfriend in public. She said with slightly flushed cheeks:

"Honey, you are really too good to me. The things you gave me, I won't be able to finish using in this lifetime. Liqin, help me book a VIP room. Honey, it's too late for the morning swimming class, did you guys book it for noon?"

"Yes, after the fat-loss class is over, I have to leave. Xiaosu, you stay and help Wenwen with the handover here."

"Okay, Boss."

Guan Xiaosu had already put away some unnecessary emotions and no longer envied that beautiful girl.

She knew she was already very lucky; one must know how to be content.
