415: Chapter 415 Mom's not coming home today! Only 80 employees short of 10,000!

"Fine, then I'll trust you once!"

"Good!"

Qin Shuang still trusted Su Yang very much.

Given Su Yang's ability, if he couldn't even handle a little girl, his business wouldn't have grown so big.

Su Yang hung up the phone and said to Tao Xue, "Alright, the mahjong partner has been invited!"

"Qin Shuang... That name sounds familiar!" Tao Xue thought for a moment and said in surprise, "One of Sisi's big clients? She seems to live in the same community as you, I saw her there once!"

"Yeah! That's her! I didn't expect you to remember!"

"Sister Na, no one would forget her after seeing her once!" Tao Xue gestured at her chest, "She really has that kind of bounce when she walks, and she's quite pretty too!"

Hao Yue asked in surprise, "Sister Tao Xue, is it really that exaggerated?"

She got up from Su Yang, jumped onto the carpet, and hopped a couple of times on the spot.

She just couldn't find that... bounce.

Tao Xue smirked, "You'll know when she gets here. But she might be dressed warmly right now, just turn up the air conditioning in the mahjong room later and see for yourself!"

"Mm-hmm!"

Hao Yue nodded repeatedly.

Tao Xue's eyes rolled, and she pursed her lips with a smile, "If you're interested, it's not like you can't touch!"

Hao Yue was stunned, "We aren't that close, right!"

Tao Xue gestured with her chin towards Su Yang, "Let Brother Su help you!"

Su Yang always felt that Tao Xue had devil wings growing on her back; this girl was becoming more twisted as she grew up!

"Alright, she should be here in about half an hour!"

Tao Xue suggested again, "Mahjong needs four, let's call one more!"

"Just make do with what we have!"

Su Yang calculated, most of the remaining women suitable for this were already at work.

"Then Brother Su can keep us company!"

"No!"

"If you don't keep us company, we won't let you sleep!"

"..."

At the villa in Xindu Garden Community, Qin Shuang put down the phone and said to her son who was doing homework in the living room:

"Anan, Mommy has to go out for a while. Study hard, okay?"

Hearing this, Anan suppressed his inner excitement and feigned calmness, "Mommy, where are you going?"

"To play mahjong!"

"Oh!"

Playing mahjong?

Anan was even happier!

His mother didn't have other hobbies; besides liking to tend to flowers and plants, she liked fitness, practicing dance, and playing mahjong.

However, she wouldn't be gone long for fitness or dancing.

Only when playing mahjong would she be gone for half a day or a whole day!

After Qin Shuang finished getting dressed up and he heard her footsteps fading away, Anan couldn't help but throw his pen aside!

He jumped to the window, saw his mom drive away through the second-floor curtains, and spun around on the spot, happily waving his fist and shouting softly, "Oh~ yes!"

He was free!

When Qin Shuang arrived at the villa and took off her coat, Hao Yue was stunned by this older sister.

She hoped that when she was thirty, she could also maintain such a figure and temperament!

Tao Xue greeted Qin Shuang very naturally.

Then the three of them quickly formed a temporary strategic alliance and dragged Su Yang, who was lazing on the sofa, into the mahjong room...

At nine in the evening, Anan was lying on the sofa playing a game when he suddenly received a call from his mom. He shouted a bit nervously, "Mom?"

"Have you eaten dinner?"

"I have!"

Anan heard sounds like "Seven Thousand", "Two Dots", and "Pong".

"Have you finished your homework?"

Anan glanced at the homework still spread on the table, with more than half remaining, and said, "Almost!"

Qin Shuang said softly on the phone, "Then do your homework well. Mommy won't be back tonight. I'll have the nanny come over to keep you company, is that okay?"

"That's fine, no problem!"

After hanging up the phone, Anan operated his hero while excitedly shouting through the voice chat, "Xu Yuhao, can you carry me to Star Diamond today?"

"Aren't you going to sleep?"

"My mom is playing mahjong all night and won't be back, hahaha..."

That day, Su Yang, who possessed the Photographic Memory talent, lost over four thousand.

Qin Shuang, who played mahjong often, also lost over three thousand.

Tao Xue, who played mahjong occasionally, won four thousand, and Hao Yue, who had just started learning mahjong, won over three thousand...

But in the end, everyone had a great time!

In the following period, Spark Fitness continued to negotiate with Weimingda Group.

Su Yang estimated it would cost about thirty million to buy the chain stores!

Spark Fitness was already quite famous among domestic fitness chains now.

The entire fitness industry knew that Spark Fitness had a knack for running gyms.

So it was hard to pick up someone else's scraps.

Moreover, Weimingda wasn't unable to hold out any longer.

Su Yang didn't want to spend half a year at the negotiating table; that wasn't in his interests.

It was better to just pay a bit more!

As long as Weimingda was acquired, the number of employees and paying customers for Spark Fitness would double.

Spark Fitness could also use these large and medium-sized gyms and fitness clubs as centers to acquire other small gyms or fitness studios, spreading out the business and becoming one of the leaders in the local fitness industry.

This period was also the best time for Spark Fitness to expand, as most peers were half-dead and the competitive pressure wasn't high.

Besides focusing on Weimingda, Su Yang spent most of his remaining time recruiting and auditing locations for Jiuxiang Catering branches, though recruitment didn't happen every day...

Another week passed, and by late March, Su Yang became a bit urgent.

He really wasn't far from ten thousand employees, just seventy-six away!

At the current stage, Spark Fitness had one large gym, one medium gym, and four small gyms in Gui Province.

In Rongcheng, there were three large gyms, one medium gym, and seven small gyms.

In Shancheng, there were one large gym, two medium gyms, and eight small gyms...

Added with the headquarters staff and Meteor Football Club, there were a total of 386 formal employees!

For Jiuxiang Catering:

There were 33 Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurants in the province, 13 Weimeijia branches, and they contracted two employee canteens and school canteens!

In Shancheng, there were 23 Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurants, 14 Weimeijia branches, and they also contracted one factory canteen!

In Gui Province, there were 21 Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurants and 9 Weimeijia branches!

In Shaanxi Province, there were four Jiuxiang Hotpot Restaurants...

Added with Jiuxiang Health, regional management, headquarters staff, and the hotpot base factory, Jiuxiang Catering had 3,576 formal employees!

Spark Media now had 1,725 formal employees.

Including two subsidiaries, Mingxuan GG and Linyi Film and Television!

Jiuxiang Food now had 951 formal employees, including Chizhu Wine Industry.

Meijia Housekeeping had 1,657 formal employees. Apart from three hundred field promoters, the others were mainly nannies and housekeepers in Rongcheng and Shancheng.
