Chapter 21? Who understands it? Sixty lessons!

The motorcycle rumbled over the dry roads of the county town, the main thoroughfare clean and wide, the wind whistling past.

“Sister Zhao.”

“What’s up, handsome little guy?”

“Is your new job going smoothly?” Jiang Nian remembered her fumbling a bit when she first got the card, probably a little nervous. “Have you started working already?”

“Yes, I have. Speaking of which, I have to thank you, handsome little guy.” Zhao Qiuxue laughed as she rode, “If you hadn’t bought the card and the classes, I wouldn’t have been able to skip the trial period.”

“It was no trouble at all, nothing to mention.” Jiang Nian replied casually, “If I didn’t buy it from you, Sister, I would have bought it from someone else. Keep the wealth within the family, wouldn’t you say?”

“That’s true, I only found out later that you knew Yunyun.” Zhao Qiuxue smiled sweetly, “She said you scored 573, which is really impressive.”

Jiang Nian couldn’t help but click his tongue, thinking to himself that his ‘daughter’ was so filial behind his back.

The money wasn’t wasted.

About fifteen or sixteen minutes later, they arrived at the gym. It was on the second floor of a large shopping mall, and its scale was larger than the gym Zhao Qiuxue had left the day before yesterday.

The side facing the road was converted into a glass wall, with a row of treadmills placed there to attract customers.

Ding, Jiang Nian swiped his card and entered the gym.

There weren’t many people working out in the evening, and there was a lot of equipment. Inside, there were signs for a swimming area. Jiang Nian hadn’t looked closely last time, but now he saw that this gym was pretty good.

If he had nothing to do in the future, he could come here to swim and get his money’s worth.

Zhao Qiuxue went to change, and Jiang Nian wandered around by himself.

Soon, Zhao Qiuxue came out, wearing black tight pants and a tank top with a thin grey short jacket, smiling gently.

“Let’s go, class is starting.”

Speaking of which, Song Xiyun and Zhao Qiuxue looked quite similar. However, their personalities were vastly different; Song Xiyun didn’t even have half of her mother’s innocence and cheerfulness.

The class was unremarkable, mainly focusing on the correct use of equipment, training duration, and proper training movements. Zhao Qiuxue was indeed very professional.

After about twenty minutes of training, Jiang Nian was already sweating and asked curiously.

“Sister, you didn’t used to work in the county town, did you?”

“Oh, how did you know?” Zhao Qiuxue touched her face, smiling gently, “I used to work at a gym in Magic City, but I came back later because of some things.”

“I can tell you’re used to big city life; it’s probably not easy to stay in the county town, right?”

“That’s true, this small county town…” Zhao Qiuxue sighed softly, still smiling, “When Yunyun goes to college, I’ll probably go back.”

After a break, the class continued, still explaining some movements.

Zhao Qiuxue taught very conscientiously, without any perfunctoriness. At first, Jiang Nian had planned to just go through the motions, but as he practiced, he became interested and genuinely followed along.

“Boys can train their legs more; it’ll be good for them later on, you know.”

Seeing Zhao Qiuxue’s sly smile, Jiang Nian felt embarrassed, thinking he’d secretly take a picture next time to show Song Xiyun.

“Then let’s train.”

Fitness is indeed addictive. Jiang Nian’s body was fully developed at eighteen, and moderate exercise also had its benefits. After a sweaty workout, he immediately went to shower.

He pondered, in the future, if he had nothing to do, he should come and train his legs more often.

In the equipment area, Zhao Qiuxue had just finished class and stretched. She had just switched jobs the day before yesterday, and currently, Jiang Nian was her only client, so there wasn’t much pressure from getting a sale.

Seeing that Jiang Nian was genuinely enjoying playing with the equipment, the last bit of worry in Zhao Qiuxue’s heart also disappeared.

Suddenly, a female coach leaned over.

“Qiuxue? Where’s your handsome little guy?”

“Huh? He went to shower.” Zhao Qiuxue turned around and saw her good-natured female colleague whom she had just met yesterday, “What’s wrong, Lingling, aren’t you in class?”

“Ugh, don’t even mention it.” Mei Wanling said with a mournful face, “The client who agreed to buy ten classes yesterday suddenly asked today if I could provide extra services.”

“Ah?”

“Yeah, it’s all for nothing.” Mei Wanling said, “You think everyone’s a high-quality client like your handsome little guy, who spends money readily and keeps his hands clean?”

“Hehe, if it were a handsome little guy, providing extra services wouldn’t seem like a loss.”

“Bah, what are you saying?” Zhao Qiuxue hit her, “He’s still a child, don’t talk nonsense.”

“Hehe, Qiuxue, stop lying to me, you can’t get our card if you’re not eighteen.” Mei Wanling became even more excited upon hearing this, “Then isn’t it legal?”

Zhao Qiuxue couldn’t listen anymore and was about to leave, but Mei Wanling grabbed her arm.

“Teach me, Qiuxue, how do I find high-quality clients?”

“How would I know that? He’s my daughter’s classmate.” Zhao Qiuxue was a bit helpless, and seeing no one around, she raised the corners of her mouth and said, “I suspect they’re dating.”

“Really?” Mei Wanling immediately became interested, hooking her arm and saying, “Quick, tell me, I love hearing about this kind of thing.”

Before she could press further, a woman’s stern voice came from a distance.

“Is free time for you to slack off?!”

Zhao Qiuxue’s expression changed upon hearing the voice, while Mei Wanling frowned and turned to look at the woman wearing a small tank top and yoga pants, with a voluptuous figure and a seductive air.

“What’s it to you! Ren Meimei, are you the boss?”

“Heh, I’ll report it to the boss.” The woman swayed her hips as she walked over, her eyes disdainful, “Mei Wanling, mind your own business. You’re always hanging out with shady people.”

Mei Wanling cursed’seductive bitch’ in her heart, “You’re the shady one! Qiuxue also made a sale the day before yesterday. Stop being so envious and jealous. Do you usually wander around the gym area?”

“Besides, Qiuxue just finished her class, what are you barking about?”

Fitness coaches and salespeople in small county towns are similar; they either have stable clients who top up their cards. These are coaches with resources, and the boss turns a blind eye.

If they are new coaches without resources, they usually have to wander around the gym area, ‘hunting’. They give pointers to members to attract them to buy classes.

“A sale? She probably topped up herself. It’s rare to get paid for working.” Ren Meimei crossed her arms and said disdainfully, “You can lie to your sisters, but don’t lie to yourself.”

“A high school student who’s in class all day coming to get a card and buy classes? That’s ridiculous. At least find someone who works to be a shill, please be more professional, okay? Which high school student has time to work out?”

“Can’t people just have good grades? A wild pig can’t appreciate fine food; it’s not your fault you haven’t seen the world.” Mei Wanling didn’t back down; she usually didn’t get along with Ren Meimei.

“Hehe, which good student comes to the gym?” Ren Meimei looked as if she had seen through everything, “You believe whatever people say, how naive.”

“What do eighteen-year-old boys think about all day? How could I not know? It’s all for that one thing, they just haven’t said it directly.”

Zhao Qiuxue frowned upon hearing this. It was fine to say a few things about her. But when Jiang Nian was mentioned, she couldn’t pretend not to hear. No matter what, Jiang Nian was a good kid.

Just as she gathered the courage to speak up, Jiang Nian’s voice came from afar.

“Sister, please recharge another sixty classes for me.”
