91: Chapter 91 You'd be better off giving me gold bars! Li Xiang resigns!
Chapter 91: I'd Rather You Give Me Gold Bars! Li Xiang Resigns!
He couldn't keep much money; after transferring two million in funds to the account of Jiuxiang Catering, he only had two million left.
Of this two million, over one million was intended for purchasing Changdong Fitness.
However, he remained quite optimistic; after all, the monthly rebates were increasing!
On the first day Chen Li returned, Su Yang brought a bag to see her.
Seeing the bag Su Yang gave her, Chen Li was pleasantly surprised: "Is this for me?"
"Yeah!"
"How did you think of that?"
"Can't I just want to give you a gift?"
Su Yang naturally wouldn't tell her the specific reason.
"How much was it?"
"Thirty thousand, I guess!"
"Thirty thousand?" Chen Li looked at the Prada bag in her hands in surprise, "Thirty thousand... I'd rather you just give me a 50-gram gold bar!"
Su Yang got a bit angry and reached out to grab it: "If you don't like it, give it back to me!"
"No! I like it! I really like it!"
Chen Li hurriedly hid the bag behind her back.
She wasn't giving it back; this was the first time Su Yang had taken the initiative to give her a gift!
The transfer of Changdong Fitness went very smoothly. After buying Changdong Fitness for one million, Su Yang paid the entry fee and rent to the property management.
He signed a three-year lease agreement, with a deposit of thirty thousand and the first quarter's rent of one hundred and eighty thousand!
From this point on, Changdong Fitness would be renamed Spark Fitness.
Chen Changdong even held an all-staff meeting to officially bid farewell to all the employees.
But there was no sadness in the eyes of the vast majority of employees.
Instead, they all focused their gaze on Su Yang.
The male employees were fine, but many female employees were whispering to each other, their faces filled with excited smiles!
When Su Yang got on stage and took the microphone, before he could even speak.
Enthusiastic applause broke out from the audience.
This made Chen Changdong's expression look somewhat unpleasant.
Su Yang pressed his hands down, and the applause gradually stopped.
He couldn't help but laugh: "It seems you all know me!"
"Of course we do!"
"Hello, Boss Su!"
"Welcome, Boss Su!"
"Hahaha..."
After announcing the pay raise and new rules for all employees, Su Yang stepped down amid the enthusiastic applause of the staff.
Chen Changdong was still somewhat graceful and didn't hold a grudge against the employees.
But even if he wanted to, he no longer had the qualifications to do so!
Su Yang gave the employees a talk about the salary and benefits at Xinghuo, as well as Xinghuo's business philosophy, which also earned him enthusiastic applause from the staff.
After seeing Chen Changdong off, Su Yang heard a system prompt:
[Ding~ The number of your Spark Fitness employees has exceeded 100, you have been awarded 3 agility points, 3 constitution points, and 3 strength points.]
[Ding~ The gym under your name has gained a permanent buff: +50% dopamine secretion boost, +30% weight loss effect.]
Just like Jiuxiang Catering, the special buff had been upgraded by one level.
But there was no new buff reward.
However, Su Yang was already very satisfied!
The current gym's special buff was already very powerful.
And there were also the attribute points he liked.
After adding the attribute points, Su Yang's attribute panel was brand new.

Compared to the gym, the number of employees at the hot pot restaurant was increasing the fastest.
It is estimated that if Su Yang wants the number of employees to exceed one thousand, he will mainly have to rely on the hot pot restaurant!
In the third-floor office of Hongming Junior High School, Li Xiang quietly packed up his desk.
After graduation, following his family's suggestion, he took the exam for a teaching position.
In the end, he was assigned to this junior high school in the town.
Unknowingly, he had already been here for two years.
Just now, he bid farewell to the students in his class, and many students cried.
To be honest, he was actually quite reluctant to leave too.
But he had no choice!
His family said at the time that being a teacher was good, with winter and summer vacations, and it was very stable.
After entering the school, Li Xiang did feel it was very stable... stably poor.
Housing prices in the county had risen to seven or eight thousand, while he was still earning a monthly salary of over three thousand.
With his salary, if he wanted to buy a 100-square-meter house.
Even if he didn't eat or drink, it would take twenty years.
How could he be willing to accept that?
He knew he had to leave, leave as soon as possible.
If he stayed here for a few more years, he estimated he wouldn't even have the courage to leave.
In the office, there were a few other female teachers.
A chubby young female teacher asked curiously: "Teacher Li, are you really leaving?"
"Yeah!"
Li Xiang nodded.
"I heard you're going to be an internet celebrity?"
Li Xiang's face stiffened: "I'm going to make videos... and post them online!"
The female teacher laughed: "Isn't that the same as being an internet celebrity?"
Li Xiang could only nod: "Probably about the same!"
"You really are something; everyone else is trying to get in, but you want to run out!" the female teacher asked helplessly, "Don't regret it!"
Li Xiang said in a low voice: "This is my decision!"
Even without Su Yang's invitation, he would have jumped out sooner or later.
The thought of resigning had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
It was just that he couldn't make up his mind!
A forty-year-old female teacher next to him said: "Stop trying to persuade him, Li Xiang only wants to leave now, he won't listen to anyone. The principal even tried to persuade him for a long time last month!"
After Li Xiang left, the female teachers in the office started chatting again.
"Li Xiang is too impulsive. How could he possibly become famous with his looks?"
"Exactly!"
"Maybe he'll film those funny skits!"
"That's possible!"
"I guess he'll regret it sooner or later. What's wrong with being a teacher?"
"..."
Just then, a female teacher entered the office and went to get water at the water dispenser.
After filling half a cup, she noticed there was no water left in the jug.
She glanced at Li Xiang's desk and asked in confusion: "Did Teacher Li not come to teach today?"
"He resigned!"
"Uh... it seems there's no water left. Who's going to go carry a new jug up?"
"..."
Riding his electric scooter, Li Xiang drove straight out of the school gate.
With an expressionless face, he didn't even look back.
At Spark Media, Su Yang watched as the lawyer Li Xiang brought carefully reviewed the signing contract.
He didn't feel offended at all.
Li Xiang's caution actually made him appreciate him even more!
Besides, Li Xiang had already told him about it yesterday.
The middle-aged lawyer glanced at Su Yang and said very sincerely to Li Xiang: "A guaranteed monthly salary of ten thousand; this contract... is quite conscientious!"
"Yeah!"
Li Xiang nodded, feeling relaxed.
"However, you need to pay attention to the contract duration and the penalty for breach of contract. The penalty is a bit high!" the lawyer reminded, "If your annual income exceeds three hundred thousand without including the base salary, the contract duration will automatically change from three years to five years. It's similar to a gambling agreement!"
"I understand!"
Before the 1st of October, Su Yang had already sent the contract to Li Xiang, and he had read it over many times.
His previous annual salary was fifty or sixty thousand. If Spark Media could really make his annual income over four hundred thousand, he would have no reason to leave!
The lawyer nodded: "Then that's fine!"
So, Li Xiang signed the contract.
Letting out a soft breath, Li Xiang said softly: "I'll be in your care, Boss Su!"
"Just work hard!"
After signing Li Xiang, Su Yang didn't leave Spark Media.
Instead, he checked the time on his phone.
He didn't have to wait long, and soon, a tall, thin, and handsome young man entered the gates of Spark Media.
Sitting on the sofa in the reception area, Su Yang waved at him and called out: "Gong Zihao, come over here!"
Gong Zihao trotted over and asked somewhat cautiously: "Are you Boss Su?"
He had actually noticed Su Yang as soon as he entered the lobby.
"Yes!" Su Yang nodded with a smile and pointed to the empty sofa opposite him, "Sit down, let's sit and talk!"
The attribute panel has a total of 235 characters, but this chapter has 2399 characters; I only charge for the 200 characters if I add one more character. The extra 199 characters are free, so I only admit that my attribute panel has 36 more characters (235-199 = 36), so you can't say I'm padding the word count with the protagonist's attribute panel!
