Chapter 32: Gu Jianjun's Departure! Master-Level Strength Training!

Throughout the private coaching session, Yuan Sisi maintained that aggrieved expression.

This gave Su Yang an urge to laugh and tease her.

However, he managed to control his emotions.

Most importantly, the more he thought about it, the more something felt off!

When the alarm went off at five o'clock, Yuan Sisi had Su Yang stretch his ligaments for a bit longer. Then, she said generously, "These five minutes are a gift to you!"

"Tha... nks!"

Su Yang replied weakly.

He lay on the yoga mat, not wanting to move, and wiped a handful of sweat from his forehead.

During this private session, Yuan Sisi indeed had an aggrieved face the whole time.

But the amount of exercise she had him complete was certainly not small—it was three times more than previous sessions!

He suspected that Yuan Sisi did it on purpose!

Despite the heavy workload, Su Yang felt a sense of invigorating satisfaction!

It was likely caused by a surge in dopamine secretion.

Yuan Sisi handed Su Yang a towel. "So, Boss, can you return that fifty to me?"

Su Yang wiped his sweat. "No!"

This was the first time he had docked an employee's pay; in the past, it was always his pay being docked by others.

He had to admit, the feeling of holding power was truly great!

"Heh!"

Feeling a light kick, Su Yang turned his head just in time to see Yuan Sisi pulling back her pretty foot.

He reflexively reached out to grab the foot that was about to retract.

But Yuan Sisi, sitting on the yoga mat, spun around and agilely moved away from Su Yang.

She ran quite fast, just like a rabbit!

Su Yang didn't have the energy to do anything else anyway; he just wanted to lie there and rest!

From not far away, Yuan Sisi said with a beaming smile, "Boss, with your stamina, you really need to exercise more!"

Su Yang turned his face away, not wanting to talk.

His stamina was actually quite good now.

After this period of hard training, his constitution, Strength, and agility had all risen to 12 points.

Compared to when he first started fitness, all his attributes had increased by 3 points!

With Yuan Sisi's help, his physique was also getting better and better.

It could be considered highly effective!

But to continue improving, the difficulty would only increase.

He either had to increase the intensity of his workouts or accumulate progress slowly!

After resting for a few minutes, Su Yang climbed up from the floor, said goodbye to Yuan Sisi, and headed straight for the showers.

After a hot shower, he felt much more relaxed all over!

Though his body was tired, his spirit was quite high.

With Xu Tianqi's cooperation, the transfer of Qiangli Fitness went very smoothly without any obstacles.

Su Yang also signed a new three-year lease with the property management.

Upon learning that Qiangli had been bought by Xinghuo, the employees of Qiangli were all beaming with joy!

"Manager Gao, has our Qiangli really been bought by President Su of Xinghuo?"

Gao Qiang nodded. "Yes!"

"That's wonderful!"

"I've had enough of that Xu Tianqi for a long time!"

"Ahem!" Gao Qiang coughed. "You should still show some respect to President Xu. After all, he is our former boss!"

Xu Tianqi had a bit of a short temper.

Because the gym's performance had been poor lately, he often lost his temper during meetings!

On the rare occasions he came to the gym, he would pick a lucky soul to take to his office for a lecture, so he was very unpopular!

Someone asked, "Manager, I heard Xinghuo has great benefits. Will President Su give us a raise?"

Gao Qiang shook his head repeatedly. "I'm not sure!"

However, at this moment, the corners of Gao Qiang's mouth couldn't help but curl upward!

This wasn't something Gao Qiang could say.

If it was to be said, Su Yang had to be the one to say it!

He obtained the business license for the Jijian Fitness store just one day after Qiangli.

In the office of Jijian, Gu Jianjun looked at the familiar office and couldn't help but say to Zhou Shinian, "Shinian, after I leave, you must manage the gym well!"

"Okay, Boss!"

"I'm not the boss anymore!" Gu Jianjun laughed. "You need to manage those guys well!"

"Mm!"

Zhou Shinian suddenly felt his nose go a bit sour.

As a middle-aged man, it had been a long time since he had felt this way.

"In the past, they followed me and couldn't get very high salaries. Now that I'm leaving, I've managed to secure some benefits for them!" Gu Jianjun said with a smile. "I'm sure they agree with Xinghuo's philosophy, and their boss is generous enough that he shouldn't treat you poorly."

"Mm!" Zhou Shinian nodded heavily. "Don't worry, Boss. With me here, nothing will go wrong with the gym!"

"Good!" Gu Jianjun laughed. "Come, help me pack up!"

As Gu Jianjun pulled open the office door with his packed items, he saw a group of employees standing at the door...

At the end of July, both Jijian Fitness and Qiangli Fitness changed their signs to Xinghuo.

The membership systems of the three gyms also officially synchronized their data.

This meant that no matter which store a membership card was issued at, it could be used at any other store.

After swallowing one medium-sized gym and one large-sized gym, Xinghuo's scale was now significant in Rongcheng.

However, Xinghuo didn't have much conflict of interest with other fitness brands for the time being.

This was because a gym's reach is relatively small.

Running a gym long-term doesn't usually make huge amounts of money.

When people open large or medium-sized gyms, they naturally maintain a certain safe distance from other large or medium-sized gyms.

As for small ones, like fitness studios of only one or two hundred square meters, the two sides don't share the same business model!

It's like the difference between a restaurant and a hole-in-the-wall eatery.

Su Yang first arrived at the former Jijian Fitness, now the Spark Fitness Beidajie Store.

He first encouraged the employees, explained Xinghuo's service-first philosophy, and raised the employees' salaries to match Xinghuo's levels.

This naturally earned him a large amount of loyalty!

To be safe, Su Yang also conducted an Investigation on the Beidajie Store employees one by one.

Their loyalty all exceeded 70, and most employees' loyalty directly exceeded 80!

This made Su Yang very satisfied!

Back in the office, Su Yang said to Zhou Shinian, "Manager Zhou, with you here, I am very much at ease!"

Zhou Shinian also possessed Proficient-Level Gym Management Ability, no worse than Xu Zhiping's.

During his five years at Jijian Fitness, two large commercial gyms had tried to headhunt him as a manager with high salaries, but he had refused them all.

At the Beidajie Store, his loyalty to Su Yang was also the highest!

Su Yang guessed that Zhou Shinian was influenced by Xu Zhiping.

Zhou Shinian replied respectfully, "Thank you for the praise, Boss!"

"I was quite satisfied with your previous work at Jijian!"

"The fitness coaches under you are also quite skilled."

"And your gym management philosophy fits perfectly with our Xinghuo!"

Zhou Shinian couldn't help but smile. "Thank you, Boss!"

Su Yang noticed that Zhou Shinian's loyalty began to rise again!

So, his praise was spot on!

"Also, I will be transferring Feng Jianxing away!" Su Yang said, pointing to Feng Jianxing's information. "I feel like keeping him here would be wasting his talent!"

Hearing this, Zhou Shinian couldn't help but exclaim, "President Su really has a keen eye!"

[Ding~ Spark Fitness (Beidajie) Manager Zhou Shinian's loyalty has risen to 90. You have gained 1 constitution attribute point.]

Having gained 1 constitution attribute point, Su Yang felt delighted.

Zhou Shinian sighed, "Keeping Old Feng here is indeed a waste of talent!"

"Why didn't he change gyms?"

Su Yang was somewhat curious.

When he was investigating those fitness coaches just now, he had noticed Feng Jianxing immediately.

He couldn't help but notice!

Feng Jianxing was essentially a handsome muscular middle-aged man. His facial features were well-defined, somewhat resembling the bronze masks unearthed at Sanxingdui.

His hair was graying, but his skin was in great condition, and he was full of energy.

Wearing a fitness t-shirt, the muscle lines on his arms were very beautiful, and one could faintly see his strong pectoral muscles!

Of course, most importantly, Su Yang noticed that he possessed Master-Level Strength Training and Proficient-Level Aerobic Training abilities!

He had seen many fitness coaches with Proficient-Level Strength Training abilities.

Most male fitness coaches were good at this!

But as for Master-level, he had only ever seen this one!
