72: Chapter 72 My mom said, "You are the greatest danger."

After finalizing everything, Chen Fan prepared to leave the company.

At the moment, the main staff hadn't been recruited yet, and the company didn't have any business for the time being, so Chen Fan had nothing to do while staying there.

He had been planning to go to the gym to work out, but there were no good places in the county, and after coming to Chang'an, he hadn't found the time, so it had been put on hold.

Now was a good time to take advantage of his free time to go.

It was a pity that Lin Xi was in the county right now; if she came, taking her out for a stroll would be better than lifting iron, wouldn't it?

Come to Chang'an?

That's right, why couldn't he have Lin Xi come to Chang'an?

Thinking of this, he took out his phone, found Lin Xi's number, and called her.

Soon, the call was connected.

"Hello, Chen Fan."

"Xixi, what are you doing?"

"I'm at home, watching TV with my mom." Lin Xi's voice was very low, as if she was afraid of being overheard by someone nearby. Zhang Yuhua's voice could be heard faintly, seemingly asking if it was Chen Fan calling.

"Why didn't you go out to play?"

"I don't want to go out, it's too hot outside." She paused, then asked, "By the way, is it hot over there in Chang'an?"

"It's definitely hot, hotter than the county."

"Then you need to be careful not to get sunburned. Wear some sunscreen when you go out; don't find it troublesome."

"Why would a guy like me wear sunscreen?" Chen Fan felt a bit between laughing and crying.

Lin Xi didn't argue, just said gently, "It's so uncomfortable to get sunburned. It's not like I'm asking you to wear it every day; just apply a little when the sun is strong."

"Alright, alright, I'll listen to my precious Xixi."

In his previous life, when Chen Fan was still a single dog, whenever he heard a guy call his girlfriend 'baby', he would always look disdainful, feeling it was sickeningly cheesy.

Yet in this life, when it was his turn, he actually said it so naturally.

Being called that by Chen Fan, Lin Xi on the other end of the line was a bit embarrassed, and feigning composure, she said, "Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

"Don't hang up. I wanted to ask if you want to come to Chang'an for a few days. If you do, I'll go back to the county to pick you up."

"I'd like to go, but my mom won't let me. She's afraid I'll run into danger alone."

"I'll be there, what kind of danger could there be?"

Then Lin Xi's voice came through, with a hint of suppressed laughter: "My mom said that you are the biggest danger."

Chen Fan was stunned.

"Auntie has a prejudice against me." He held it in for a long time, only to squeeze out that sentence.

Lin Xi laughed softly on the other end of the line.

Hearing her laugh, the bit of indignation Chen Fan felt just moments ago suddenly dissipated.

Forget it, if she couldn't come, she couldn't come.

Anyway, after school starts, she'll have to come, and there will be plenty of opportunities then.

After hanging up, Chen Fan pushed open the office door and walked out.

Arriving at the office area, the company's two existing employees were chatting.

Chen Fan didn't have any dissatisfaction with this; the company hadn't started any projects yet and there was no work to do, so why not let them chat for a while?

"I'm heading out first. If there's anything important, just call me."

"Alright, boss."

...

After leaving the company, Chen Fan drove toward Qujiang.

Some time ago, Chen Fan had received a flyer for a gym near his apartment called V-SHARE International Fitness Club, which claimed to have an area of 8,000 square meters.

Besides the gym, it also had a badminton hall, a swimming pool, and even a spa.

Chen Fan decided to go check this place out. With such a large scale, at least he wouldn't have to worry about them running off.

In his previous life, he had heard of many gyms running away. Some unlucky people had just bought an annual membership only to have the gym close down, losing several thousand yuan.

It wasn't that Chen Fan was afraid of losing money, but rather he was afraid of it ruining his mood.

Half an hour later, the car stopped in a parking space in front of the V-SHARE gym.

After getting out of the car, Chen Fan took a look at the storefront.

The entire outer wall was made of dark gray brushed stone, with a matte black metal sign embedded in the center that read "V-SHARE".

The storefront didn't reach the ground but hung over two meters out, forming a sheltered walkway.

The double glass doors were a full three meters high, and the glass was so transparent it was almost invisible.

Looking at the storefront alone, the place really gave off a high-end feel.

Chen Fan withdrew his gaze and walked inside.

The glass doors opened automatically, and a blast of air mixed with air conditioning and a faint fragrance rushed toward him.

As soon as he entered the main door, the receptionist rose from behind the marble front desk, dressed in a sharp, tailored black suit with a tiny silver logo brooch on her chest.

"Good afternoon, sir. Is this your first time here?"

Chen Fan nodded.

"Alright, since it's your first time, let me briefly introduce our facilities."

The receptionist stepped aside and made a "please" gesture, guiding him two steps toward the resting area and standing still next to a vertical information board.

The board was made of dark acrylic, with minimalist gold lines outlining the icons of various areas, with their names marked next to them.

"We are a comprehensive sports and leisure center with four floors in total."

"The first floor is the fitness area and the heated swimming pool. The equipment is all Technogym brand imported from Italy. The pool is a 25-meter, four-lane pool, equipped with an independent hydrotherapy massage pool."

Her finger moved upward.

"The second floor is the badminton hall and billiard room. The badminton hall has three standard courts with keel wood flooring and professional floor mats, which are quite friendly to the knees. The billiard room has two Star-brand English billiard tables and one American table, both of which are competition-grade standards."

Moving further up.

"The third floor is the SPA hydrotherapy center and resting area. We have introduced both Thai massage and Japanese shiatsu systems, and our technicians all have over five years of experience. The resting area is equipped with a tea bar and a reading area, where you can go up to have a cup of tea or read a book after exercising."

Finally, she pointed to the fourth floor.

"The fourth floor is the VIP exclusive floor, mainly consisting of the personal training area and physical training room, as well as two independent yoga studios. If you have personal training needs later, it will be quieter over there."

She withdrew her hand and turned to look at Chen Fan, her smile still appropriate.

"That's the general situation. Mr. Chen, what project are you mainly interested in learning about today?"

"I'm interested in all of them."

The receptionist's smile deepened a little.

"How about this," she said, her tone suggesting a recommendation, "I'll have a consultant take you through the main areas, which will take about twenty minutes. After you've had a look around and have a general idea, you can then decide which section you want to experience today, or you can bring a friend another day—either is fine."

She paused, then added, "If you want to try it out today after the tour, we can arrange a single-use experience card for you—this is valid for the whole venue, costing 300 yuan, which can be directly deducted from the membership fee if you sign up later."

Chen Fan nodded: "Alright."

"Very well, please sit down for a moment, and I will arrange a membership consultant to take you through our projects in detail."

The receptionist stepped aside to lead the way, taking him to the resting area next to the front desk and pouring him a glass of water.

"Please have some water, the consultant will be here shortly."

The receptionist revealed a smile upon hearing this, picked up her walkie-talkie, and spoke a few words, her voice kept very low, making it impossible to hear what was said.
