61: Chapter 61: The Gym's Pledge Rally! Rice Noodles!

Chapter 61: The Gym's Pep Rally! Rice Noodles!

At 9:30 AM on the 9th, all three Spark Fitness stores held staff meetings.

At the Spark Fitness Qinglong District Store, Xu Zhiping stood on the stage and said in a serious tone:

"...I'm sure everyone knows that the gym is still losing money. Although our boss isn't short on cash and wouldn't close the gym even if it keeps losing money... this is our shame, my shame as the store manager. It proves we don't deserve such high salaries!"

"Don't think that just because you've joined Xinghuo, you can rest easy. The gym won't close, but that doesn't mean you can stay here forever!" Xu Zhiping said coldly. "The boss is lenient, but that doesn't mean I will let you slack off."

He looked at the three new young fitness coaches—two women and one man:

"You can ask Zhu Zhou, Meng Yaru, and Shao Lan. For this recruitment across the three Xinghuo stores, a total of three hundred fitness coaches applied for interviews, and only ten were selected!"

"I'm not saying this to pressure you, but I hope you can go all out and do a good job with this Xinghuo 5th Anniversary Challenge Event!"

"The boss attaches great importance to this event. You need to let him see your attitude!"

Xu Zhiping asked in a deep voice: "Is that clear?"

"Clear!"

In the meeting room, almost everyone shouted at the top of their lungs.

At the Spark Fitness Beidajie Store, Zhou Shุนian was more composed in the meeting room:

"...Since the boss took over the gym, everyone's benefits have improved a lot. However, our gym is still consistently losing money. The boss places great importance on this 5th Anniversary Challenge Event. He hopes to attract more members through this event to turn the gym's losses around!"

"The boss highly recognizes our service attitude and professionalism, but that doesn't mean there's no room for improvement!"

"Since we're receiving top-tier salaries in the industry, we must provide top-tier service!"

"I hope everyone can put in all their effort, unite as one, and make this challenge event the best it can be!"

"No problem, Manager Zhou!"

"We'll definitely go all out!"

"Right, we at least have to be worthy of the salary the boss is paying us!"

"..."

The fitness coaches and general staff of the Beidajie Store shouted.

Su Yang had improved their benefits, and they were all very grateful!

Most of those staying at the Beidajie Store were veteran employees—senior in the industry but not good at sales. They were a group of honest people...

The meeting room at the Spark Fitness Gaoxin District Store was a different scene altogether.

With a loud "bang," all the employees were startled!

Including the new employee Chen Li, who also jumped in fright!

They looked up to see Gao Qiang slamming his fist, the size of a clay pot, onto the podium.

Standing on the stage, Gao Qiang was built like a bear.

With a fierce look in his eyes, he gave off an intense sense of pressure!

He gritted his teeth and said:

"The economic situation isn't great this year. Many gyms have gone bankrupt. For the ten new positions we opened at Xinghuo, over three hundred fitness coaches came to interview!"

"But the benefits the boss gives you are absolutely top-tier in the industry. You won't find a second place like this in Rongcheng!"

"The boss once promised never to close Xinghuo, but that was a promise made to the employees of the Qinglong District Store, not to us!"

"Last month, we lost over a hundred thousand yuan for the boss again. If we don't find a way to turn things around, our Gaoxin District Store will continue to lose money!"

"A store that keeps losing money is a store without value, destined to be abandoned!"

"Bang!"

At this point, Gao Qiang slammed the podium again!

It made Chen Li, who was sitting in the front row, feel her heart skip a beat!

"Tell me, are you willing to be abandoned?"

"No!"

Almost all the employees shouted loudly.

Gao Qiang slapped the podium until it rattled: "Louder!"

"No!"

The entire meeting room shook with the thunderous roar!

Chen Li felt that if this continued, Gao Qiang might actually smash the podium to pieces!

"Right, that's the spirit!"

"Under the boss's wise leadership, our gym has recently undergone a series of reforms. I'm sure everyone has seen the results. Many members have praised our service and are willing to come to our gym to work out, even bringing their friends along..."

"But it's not enough. This development is too slow. It would take too long to make the gym profitable!" Gao Qiang said through gritted teeth. "And this Xinghuo 5th Anniversary Challenge Event is an opportunity. The discounts this time are huge and will definitely attract many people. This event is the best chance for our Gaoxin District Store to turn a profit!"

"The boss also promised cash rewards for the store and individuals who recruit the most challengers. The employee who recruits the most can get thirty thousand yuan, and every employee in the store with the highest average recruitment will receive two thousand in cash!"

"We need to prove to the boss that our Gaoxin District Store is definitely not inferior to the Qinglong District Store!"

"We need to prove to the boss that the employees of our Gaoxin District Store are the most outstanding and the most deserving of his favor!"

In an instant, the eyes of all the employees were set ablaze!

Chen Li shifted in her seat; she felt like she was a bit... out of place with this crowd!

These people seemed to respect Su Yang too much, especially this leader.

In fact, she didn't know that among the three store managers...

Gao Qiang was the most loyal to Su Yang!

While the three store managers were busy holding "pep rallies" and the employees of the three gyms were united in purpose, Su Yang was sitting in a shop with Ma Ran, eating Hot and Sour Rice Noodles.

Everything that needed to be arranged and prepared, he had already taken care of.

Even the funds were well-prepared.

He knew the capabilities of the three managers; there was no need for him to micromanage everything.

At most, he would go to the sites later to check on everyone's work attitude!

What he was best at was strategic decision-making.

It was only right to play to his strengths; doing anything else was a waste!

After eating half a bowl of Hot and Sour Rice Noodles, Su Yang put down his chopsticks and took a sip of mineral water.

The noodles tasted average, but he hadn't eaten breakfast and had a craving for them!

He looked around the narrow shop. Besides him and Ma Ran, there was only one other young man.

The staff auntie of the rice noodle shop, who was sitting idly at a table near the kitchen, saw that Su Yang had stopped eating and asked somewhat cautiously, "Is it not to your taste?"

"The taste is fine!"

The auntie forced a smile, which looked a bit bitter.

Thinking of the "Prime Shop for Sublease" sign at the entrance, Su Yang asked curiously, "Is this shop yours?"

"My husband and I opened it!"

The auntie pointed to the man in the kitchen.

Su Yang asked in confusion, "Why did you think of opening a shop here?"

To be honest, the location of this shop really made Su Yang want to complain.

The shop was about sixty square meters, which wasn't small.

Selling some noodles and Hot and Sour Rice Noodles was naturally fine.

But the storefront was too small, and it was under a pedestrian bridge.

Most people wouldn't even notice there was a shop here.

There were indeed pedestrians on the street outside, but not many.

Nearby, there was only a convenience store, an adult products store, and two fruit stalls.

The auntie smiled awkwardly. "They said business would be good if I opened a shop here..."
