Chapter 301: Chapter 301: Fitness Club (Part 1)
Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi showered at the club and were getting ready to go home.
"Hello, ladies, have you finished your training today?" The club owner, Li Yang, was carrying tea to the guests.
When he saw Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi, he greeted them with a smile.
"Yes, see you tomorrow, boss." Lin Xiaoyan said with a smile.
"Alright, see you tomorrow!"
This gym club had just opened less than two months ago. Although there weren’t many guests, the equipment was quite new and complete.
And the space was large enough to book a venue.
Lin Xiaoyan thought the lack of guests was only temporary. The place was nice, and surely more people would come in the future.
"Li Yang."
Suddenly, a group of people entered from the door, and a man loudly called out the owner’s name.
Li Yang had just finished serving the tea and hurried over when he heard the shout. Seeing it was the landlord coming with people, he quickly put on a smile and warmly welcomed them.
"Oh, Brother Zhang, you’re here, come on in." Li Yang walked over enthusiastically.
Brother Zhang’s face was full of pride as he said to the people behind him, "Go ahead, the equipment here is all new, go play."
Then he looked at Li Yang and said, "I brought friends to help liven up the place. It’s been so long, why are there still so few people here?"
Brother Zhang looked disdainfully at the sparse few people in the club.
Li Yang felt bitter inside but expressed gratitude verbally.
"Thank you, Brother Zhang, for bringing people to visit. I’m really lucky to have such a landlord like you introducing me to people..."
Brother Zhang patted Li Yang’s shoulder, "When my friends come in the future, just write it under my name and deduct it from the rent."
Li Yang: "Alright, thank you, Brother Zhang!"
Brother Zhang waved his hand, "Go ahead and get busy."
"Okay, Brother Zhang, what would you like to drink? I’ll pour it for you..."
Lin Xiaoyan gave a glance at the people who clearly weren’t there to exercise, frowned slightly, and pulled Nan Xi, "Let’s go, Sister Nan."
Nan Xi scanned the scene, seeing those people commenting on the club with disinterest, she retracted her gaze indifferently, "Alright."
"I’ll work out for a bit too, Li Yang, later help me loosen my shoulders. I think I got a stiff neck last night..." Brother Zhang said as he walked, suddenly raising his hand to touch his neck.
Lin Xiaoyan happened to be beside Brother Zhang, and his hand brushed against her arm.
Nan Xi immediately pulled Lin Xiaoyan beside her, glaring sharply at Brother Zhang.
Seeing Nan Xi’s glare, Brother Zhang immediately shouted, "What are you looking at!"
Lin Xiaoyan "saw" those images and looked at Brother Zhang with a complex gaze.
She pulled Nan Xi, "Sister Nan, let’s go."
Nan Xi coldly looked at Brother Zhang, then left with Lin Xiaoyan.
Li Yang hurriedly said, "Ladies, take care."
When Lin Xiaoyan reached Li Yang, she looked at him, "What time do you close at night?"
Li Yang immediately replied, "We start clearing out at nine-thirty and close at ten."
Lin Xiaoyan nodded after hearing that, "Then remember to lock up tightly at closing time. Now that the year-end’s passed, thieves are starting to work again."
Upon hearing this, Li Yang burst out laughing, "Hahaha, a thief couldn’t steal much here. There’s nothing but gym equipment here!
But thanks for the reminder, beautiful lady."
Seeing Li Yang’s nonchalant demeanor, Lin Xiaoyan said nothing more, nodded at him, and left.
After Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi left, Brother Zhang walked over and watched their backs, "What’s with those two women?"
Li Yang pursed his lips and smiled, "Customers, they’ve only been here a few days."
"Rich?"
Li Yang mentally rolled his eyes a thousand times but kept his face neutral as he said, "I don’t know either, they’re just customers. I can’t ask about their privacy, hahaha..."
Brother Zhang nodded at that, but recalling the look from that tall woman, he shivered inside.
He didn’t want to admit it, but he was genuinely frightened in that instant.
Li Yang watched Brother Zhang go inside to chat with his friends, cursing in his heart. Having such a landlord was really unlucky!
Bringing friends over all the time without paying, treating the place like their own home.
Making a mess and criticizing my customers.
It’s already hard enough to run a store and cater to customers, and these people are making it impossible to keep the business open.
The landlord talks nicely, saying to note it down, but this landlord hasn’t even signed up for a membership, let alone deposited money.
And talking about deducting it from the rent??? Hah, If he doesn’t raise the rent on me, then it’s good fortune!
Such people, if you really deducted it from the rent, they’d probably turn around and raise your rent the next second!
Sigh~, making money now isn’t easy.
After leaving the club, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi got into the car, and Nan Xi asked, "That man just now, is there a problem?"
Lin Xiaoyan nodded, looking at the club’s sign.
"That landlord huh..." Lin Xiaoyan recalled the images she "saw," feeling a bit shaken, "Really brought it on himself!"
"But still, the club owner is quite unlucky, dealing with such a person is just bad luck."
Nan Xi paused for a moment after hearing this, "So... should we help him?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan looked at Nan Xi in surprise.
"Sister Nan, you’re... actually asking me that?!"
Nan Xi snapped back to reality and cleared her throat, "Cough, sorry."
Nan Xi carefully asked Lin Xiaoyan about the images, and after Lin Xiaoyan explained, Nan Xi made a call to inform the people at the Special Investigation Bureau.
Around midnight, Zhang Yi had just finished playing games and was chatting with a young girl he had recently met online.
"Brother Zhang, how’s your physique? I want to buy you some clothes, let me know your height and weight!"
The sweet voice of the girl, Tiantian, came through the phone, melting Zhang Yi’s heart.
Zhang Yi: "Why suddenly buy me clothes? I have plenty to wear, don’t buy, save the money for your studies!"
"No way, no way, this money was transferred by you, you gave me so much, I feel too guilty if I don’t use it, come on, tell me~~~"
Zhang Yi grinned widely and said, "Okay, I’ll tell you, but don’t buy anything expensive. I have plenty of branded clothes; money’s not an issue for me!"
"I’m 1.76 meters tall and weigh 160 pounds."
After reporting his height and weight, Zhang Yi directly transferred 8888 to the girl.
"Oh my~~~ why did you transfer money again, I don’t want it!" The girl’s sweet, pretending-to-be-angry voice came from the phone.
Zhang Yi hurried to coax her, "Don’t be angry, baby, it’s for you to have some bubble tea."
"You’re lying! My favorite bubble tea is just seven bucks, you’ve sent way too much~~~
I’ll send it back and you just send me seven bucks!"
"No, it’s from your brother, just keep it, otherwise your brother will be upset!"
"Huh? Don’t be upset, brother, well... I’ll keep it, is that okay? Brother, are you upset?"
