Jiang Nian took a shower and felt refreshed. As he stepped out and rounded the corridor, he saw three women putting on a dramatic scene from afar.
Getting closer, he was speechless upon hearing them. Damn it, these girls are just chirping away.
Signing up for a gym membership and buying classes was initially a system requirement, but after trying it out, Jiang Nian found it quite nice, and working out had a strangely addictive feel.
Besides, tonight he was here to complete a task, so he decided to get straight to the point.
After all, even taking a step back, working out isn't a loss. Not working out by eighteen means even at university the juniors will be silent, and the seniors shaking their heads, destined to look longingly at empty cups and cry.
At the end of the hallway, Zhao Qiuxue suddenly got nervous.
Sixty sessions, isn't that a waste of money?
In small towns, the class pricing is cheap, one class per one hundred. Mainly because it's not professional, and the rental costs are low, but sixty classes are still six thousand!
Ren Meimei couldn't keep calm, "Are you joking, little kid?"
Just then, Jiang Nian arrived in front of them, glanced at Ren Meimei. Oval face, pink busty little vest, tight-fitting yoga pants below.
"Yes, Auntie."
"You call me Auntie?" Ren Meimei was stunned, pointed at herself, and said, "How can you be so rude?"
"Why do you speak so harshly? Not going to live till tomorrow?" Jiang Nian smiled slightly, "Oh, by the way, I am a member, and the customer is God, you know."
"You!" Ren Meimei gritted her teeth, eventually turned around and walked away angrily.
Mei Wanling was beside them, watching in awe, her mouth forming an 'o'. She had little victories against Ren Meimei over three days of small quarrels and big quarrels every five days.
No way, is this handsome guy so aggressive?
Zhao Qiuxue couldn't help but cover her forehead at this scene, having witnessed Jiang Nian's civilized language the day before yesterday. A mouthful of authentic dialect left everyone dizzy.
This is just the beginning today.
Jiang Nian turned his head, "Sis, top up the classes at the front desk."
Hearing this, Zhao Qiuxue gathered her thoughts, walked to Jiang Nian, and said seriously.
"Thank you for standing up for me; I appreciate your kindness. But there's no need to top up classes; you're still a student. No matter where your money comes from, don't waste it."
"Three sessions should be enough, you can master everything if you focus. Just ask me directly if you don't understand later, no need to spend more money."
"Uh, but I don't want to think." Jiang Nian waved his hand, "I was originally going to buy classes; if I don't train now, I'll have to train in university, where it's even more expensive."
Zhao Qiuxue thought for a moment, "You don't have to buy classes; I'll guide you for free."
"That won't do, business is business." Jiang Nian didn't want to disclose too much to outsiders and jokingly said, "Sis, if you keep this up, I won't dare come anymore."
Hearing this, Zhao Qiuxue looked a bit helpless.
"Alright then."
The gym trainer Mei Wanling's pupils contracted slightly, looking at Jiang Nian and then at Zhao Qiuxue. She was utterly shocked, not... paying for real, it's six thousand bucks!
The front desk.
Ren Meimei actually hadn't gone far, you had to make purchases at the front desk. She wanted to see if that annoying brat was just stubborn or really had money.
It didn't take long before Jiang Nian came over with someone. He smiled and explained his purpose to the sweet front desk girl, scanned the code to pay, all smoothly done.
Ren Meimei was shocked, he paid for real?
Just for ten sessions?
Once Jiang Nian left, Ren Meimei frowned and walked over. The front desk girl saw the sales queen of their gym approach, was a bit surprised, and then sweetly called out.
"Meimei Sis, want something to drink?"
"No need, I have a question." Ren Meimei still held a sliver of hope, "They... ahem, just now that customer, how many sessions did he buy?"
"Sixty sessions, what's up?" The sweet girl asked curiously and sweetly smiled again, "Meimei Sis is still more impressive, selling a few hundred sessions a month."
Upon hearing this, Ren Meimei's face twitched, thinking how could that be the same. Those old lechers are oily and sleazy, without letting them take advantage, they wouldn't buy classes at all.
Thirty sessions plus sixty sessions, just instantly surpassed her hard-earned performance over two weeks.
Damn...
[Task: Repurchase sixty sessions. Reward: 30,000 RMB (Completed)]
Buzz, the phone in the pocket vibrated, showing a deposit of 30,000.
Jiang Nian walked out of the gym; it was already nine in the evening. Zhao Qiuxue left work early and dropped him off.
At this time, although Jiang Nian had taken a shower at the gym and his clothes dried, there was a slight musty odor. As the wind blew, he smelled it first, and Zhao Qiuxue smelled it too.
She kindly suggested that he bring a change of clothes next time.
Jiang Nian joked, "That's too much trouble, wouldn't it mean washing an extra set of clothes?"
Zhao Qiuxue laughed too, "Sis will wash it for you, so you can change when you arrive. You're Sis's big client now, or else I'd really feel bad."
"Sure." Jiang Nian was just joking.
If he had to choose, he'd rather have Song Xiyun crying and hand-washing. Hehe, lovely girl, you don't want your mom to lose her job, do you....
Back at the county middle school gate, there were twenty minutes left before the evening classes ended.
Saying goodbye to Zhao Qiuxue.
Jiang Nian thought for a moment and bought a tote bag and small ties from the stationery shop at the school gate, then headed to the Rural Credit Cooperative ATM across the street.
He withdrew twenty thousand in one go, a thick wad bound with a small tie.
Jiang Nian calmly put the money in the bag and nonchalantly walked into the school. He entered the playground just as the bell for evening classes rang, making the campus lively.
He walked against the crowd, carrying the bag, following a few people up the stairs.
In the hallway.
"Why so slow?" Xu Qianqian, carrying a seemingly heavy backpack, with straps pulled tight, "Have you... returned from off-campus? Skipped class again?"
"Yeah, I was sick," he said.
The teaching building was brilliantly lit, surrounded by a crowded stream in the corridor, with noisy sounds coming and going. A rush of warm wind and extending lights far into the distance.
Xu Qianqian turned her body slightly, frowning at Jiang Nian.
"Could you make it a bit more believable, your running is faster than the athletes. Anyone in the world can get sick but you, you surely went out to have fun!"
"I'm going to tell Aunt Li! Let her smack you around!"
"Tch." Jiang Nian puffed out his chest, sneered, "Do you know how much I scored, Xu Qianqian? I left with a fake note, you still want to control me?"
Saying this, in a good mood, he reached out and patted Xu Qianqian's fluffy head.
"Wait for me, I need to grab my backpack, I'll treat you to bubble tea tomorrow."
"I won't wait for you!" Xu Qianqian tossed her head, the top of her head where he touched seemed electric, warmth spreading all the way to her ear tips and cheeks, "Who wants your bubble tea!"
Not long after, Jiang Nian came out with a backpack, and the bag was nowhere to be seen.
Xu Qianqian was about to leave but was grabbed by him.
"What are you doing!"
"Why are your ears red?"
"Mind your own business?" Xu Qianqian turned her head, her tone fierce and somewhat fleeing, "You talk too much, anyway, you owe me two cups of bubble tea now!"
