Chapter 137 Business Strategies (6k, asking for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month~)

Acquire Soft Light Health Club?

When Ke Chen heard Gao Lingzhen’s words, he subconsciously wanted to pick up his phone to see if he had completed the star-up task of [Soft Light Health Club].

I should be two full stars away.

It costs money to acquire something now, wouldn’t it be nice to get it for free?

Ke Chen shook his head without even thinking.

“I don’t have this idea yet.”

“Is it.”

Perhaps she guessed that Ke Chen would refuse, Gao Lingzhen smiled gracefully without being discouraged.

“I was abrupt.”

“What happened?”

In response to Ke Chen’s question, Gao Lingzhen leaned back in the boss chair, crossed her legs, crossed her fingers on her lower abdomen, and muttered while looking at the ceiling.

“Nothing much, I’m just tired, and business has been bad lately.”

“I think business is pretty good.”

“That’s just a superficial phenomenon.”

Gao Lingzhen said quietly.

“Now that various costs have increased, no one wants to do expensive projects, and cheap ones can’t make money.”

“In the past, it was hard to find technicians to do those special projects, so most of them became internet celebrities or bloggers on Weibo. As a man, you should understand, right?”

“Ah.”

Ke Chen nodded in agreement.

Indeed, the impact of the Internet industry has dealt a heavy blow to all physical industries.

“So, Mr. Ke, please consider it?”

“never mind.”

Ke Chen refused again, but this time he didn’t say it too absolutely.

“Maybe you can wait for me to think about it. If I can buy it, I will come back to you.”

“Mr. Ke is indeed very capable.”

Gao Lingzhen once again placed her chin with her crossed fingers, resting her elbows on the desk, with a playful smile on her face.

“Can you tell me what you do? Maybe we can cooperate in some areas.”

What kind of cooperation can I have with the health club?
Ke Chen couldn’t help but complain in his heart, and then he said softly.

“Open a gym.”

“anything else?”

“Gone.”

“…”

Gao Ling was really smart. She knew that Ke Chen didn’t want to reveal too much, so she didn’t ask any further questions and just teased him.

“You are indeed an interesting person.”

When a young, rich, handsome man has an extremely mysterious background, his appeal to women will increase exponentially.

Even the knowledgeable Gao Lingzhen couldn’t help but feel curious and have a strong desire to explore Ke Chen.

“Mr. Ke, could you please leave me your contact information?”

“of course.”

After adding Gao Lingzhen as a VX friend, Ke Chen stood up and said goodbye.

“Then I’ll go first.”

“Okay, your projects today are all free. I’ve already arranged them.”

Gao Lingzhen said with a smile.

“If you have the chance, you can always come to me.”

“Ah.”

Ke Chen agreed on the surface, but actually refused in his heart.

I am sorry.

I have no interest in old women.

Eighteen-year-old female college students are my favorite.

After leaving Gao Lingzhen’s office, Ke Chen stretched and began to enjoy each project at his own pace.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether it is free or not. He will naturally do what he likes to do, and he will not do what he doesn’t like just because it is free.

For example, the singing bowl SPA that he always complained about.

Therefore, after changing his clothes, Ke Chen went to the first floor for a facial treatment, followed by a head treatment and massage, and finally a sweat steaming session.

[Successfully check in at the steam room of the Soft Light Health Club, and get a reward of +1 for blood circulation! ]

[Soft Light Health Club, “Jiang Yuping” successfully checked in at the steam room and was rewarded with +1 for blood circulation! ]

[Soft Light Health Club, “Ren Jue Man” successfully checked in at the steam room, rewarded with +1 for blood circulation]

Did they also go to the sauna?
When the familiar feeling swept over his body again, Ke Chen, who was soaking in the bathtub, narrowed his eyes slightly, and then couldn’t help but let out a long, comfortable sigh.

The feeling of having your qi and blood flowing freely is really great.

I felt that all the sweat pores on my body were expanding, and the fatigue from staying up all night disappeared instantly without a trace.

“Crack-!”

After soaking for a while, Ke Chen left the bathtub. After all, there were too many people around and it was a bit noisy.

When I get the ownership of the Soft Light Health Club, I will definitely set up a VIP bathhouse for myself to take a bath.

Ke Chen thought silently in his heart.

He went outside, wiped the water stains on his body with a towel, put on his bathrobe, and went up to the third floor to meet the two women.

Jiang Yuping tied her hair in front of her body with a hairband from one side, which made her look particularly gentle.

Ren Jieman had long, thick, straight black hair, which made her look much cuter and more lovely than her usual ponytail.

“Hubby, you’re here!”

“Well, let’s go and have dinner.”

Ke Chen brought the two women to the VIP dining area.

Ren Jieman looked around, obviously full of interest in the surrounding environment. After all, this was her first time in such a large-scale bathing center.

It was also the first time I knew that a bath center actually had a buffet!
And it’s no different from the outside, and the quality is even higher!
“good to eat!”

After enjoying the buffet, the three returned to Tigerlily Gym to start the afternoon interview.

There were only five or six people applying for the job, including an old friend.

After seeing that familiar face, Ke Chen looked a little strange and turned his head to look at Ren Jieman, whose pretty face was slightly blushing.

“Manman, why is Qiao Min here?”

“I’m an applicant! Why can’t I come?”

Qiao Min quickly walked to the desk and sighed.

“There’s nothing we can do. We have to work overtime every day in that company, and our boss is an idiot. He has meetings as soon as we get off work, and there are endless meetings every day.”

“I don’t know what’s the point of talking about such trivial things every day. If you have time to say those things, you might as well give us a raise. You’ve made a big promise, but you never showed any results.”

“So I was thinking about changing jobs or quitting, and then I happened to hear Manman say that Brother Chen, your Tigerlily Gym is hiring, and the salary is good, so I came to apply for your operations position.”

“…”

After listening to Qiao Min’s explanation, Ke Chen fell into deep thought, which made Ren Jieman beside him particularly nervous. She kept tangling her hands in front of her body until she saw him nod and then relaxed.

“Okay, since you’re applying for the operations position, I have to have a reason to use you, right? Even though you and Manman are good friends, there’s no way I can give you a backdoor.”

“rest assured.”

Qiao Min patted his chest and promised.

“I help our company operate accounts on various video websites, and the total number of fans exceeds two million!”

Two million?
Ke Chen showed a slightly surprised expression. After all, the growth rate of followers of such a company account would definitely be far less than those of personal accounts.

Unless it’s a big job.

This kind of work may be difficult for others, but it should be a very simple thing for Qiao Min.

After all, as Manman’s military advisor, she had given her so many bad ideas.

“I’ll show you.”

Qiao Min talked freely in front of Ke Chen, telling him all about his accounts and traffic diversion methods, and even gave a specific operation plan suitable for Tigerley Gym.

You know, those employees who apply for a job directly with specific plans are the ones most liked by the boss!
Ke Chen is no exception.

“good.”

“right.”

Seeing Ke Chen’s satisfied expression, Qiao Min chuckled.

“So Brother Chen, if you hand over the company account to me, don’t worry! It will be no problem to attract hundreds of thousands of fans in a few days!”

“Try it.”

Ke Chen looked at Ren Jieman with a smile.

“Manman, what do you think?”

“I think… um, it’s okay.”

In order to avoid suspicion, Ren Jieman did not praise Qiao Min directly, but hesitantly turned the topic back to Ke Chen.

“you decide.”

“Then it’s settled.”

“Great!”

Qiao Min raised her arms and shouted, feeling extremely happy.

After all, she knew about the salary system of Tigerley Gym.

Two days off a week, holidays, six insurances and two funds, all of these are included!

I feel the treatment is better than most companies on the market!
What’s more, Ke Chen is Manman’s boyfriend and he is also the boss!
We are also people with connections up there!
“Then I’ll go see Qiao Min off.”

Ren Jieman seemed to be infected by Qiao Min’s excitement, and then she skipped out of the manager’s office with her.

“These two people.”

Ke Chen shook his head and chuckled, then as if he had thought of something, he picked up his phone and opened the Monopoly game app.

【Tiger Gym (LV.3)】

[Revenue: 21000/month]

[LV.3 upgrade mission has been completed! ]

[LV.4 Upgrade Task: Hold a bodybuilding competition, Reward: 100% reimbursement of bodybuilding competition rewards, Revenue +40000/month]

“It’s finally done.”

Ke Chen couldn’t help but let out a long sigh, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt a little confused.

At the beginning, Tigerli Gym’s monthly revenue was negative 3, and the LV. upgrade task increased it by .

The total monthly revenue is only 10,000, why did it become 21,000 this time?

Could it be that this revenue will be adjusted according to actual conditions instead of remaining unchanged?

Ke Chen seemed to understand something.

It seems that the so-called task is just to give it a guaranteed revenue, and the actual situation depends on how it is managed.

As for holding bodybuilding competitions, this is a good opportunity to increase influence.

Since Qiao Min is in charge of operations, it’s time to let her plan it carefully.

“Husband~”

After a while, Ren Jieman walked into the office, took the initiative to come to Ke Chen and threw herself into his arms, without paying any attention to Jiang Yuping who was sitting on the sofa.

“I was wrong.”

“How did you go wrong?”

Ke Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked up and signaled Jiang Yuping with his eyes.

She was also very sensible and stood up and left the office, closing the door behind her to leave enough privacy for the two of them.

“I shouldn’t have let Qiao Min take the back door.”

Ren Jieman raised her head, looked at Ke Chen with pitying eyes and said coquettishly.

“Originally I wanted her to come for a one-on-one interview this afternoon because I have great confidence in her abilities, and she’s also my good friend, so…”

“So you think I won’t give her a pass?”

Ke Chen slowly moved his hands down Ren Jieman’s sexy waist, then slid to her plump buttocks in denim shorts and gently stroked them, pretending to be angry and speaking seriously.

“Manman, you don’t trust me.”

“I don’t!”

Ren Jiman panicked, and quickly sat on Ke Chen’s legs, twisting her waist and acting coquettishly to him, with her fair arms tightly hooked around his neck. “At first I just didn’t want to make you so tired, but then I thought that this might make you misunderstand, but explaining always feels like covering up, so…”

“I’m sorry, honey. I was wrong.”

“If an apology helps, what do you want the police to do?”

Ke Chen hugged the delicate body in his arms tightly, and the corners of his mouth suddenly rose.

“If you do something wrong, you should be punished by family rules!”

Snapped!
After feeling a slight pain in her buttocks, Ren Jieman lowered her blushing face and murmured.

“What…what family rules?”

“What do you say?”

After being deeply attracted by Ke Chen’s smirk, Ren Jieman was no longer the ignorant girl and understood what he meant instantly.

“Bad husband.”

After saying this coquettishly, Ren Jieman took the initiative to get off Ke Chen. When she turned around and saw Jiang Yuping had left at some point, she realized that all this was premeditated!
“You’ve been wanting me to do this for a long time, right?”

“Ah.”

Ke Chen hummed, and after Ren Jieman knelt down on her own initiative, he considerately helped her smooth up the hair that fell beside her cheeks. Immediately, he saw her beautiful, flushed face.

She is cute and shy.

–

Half an hour later, it was six o’clock in the afternoon.

Jiang Yuping waited anxiously outside the door for a long time, and even helped persuade several people who wanted to talk to Ren Jieman to return.

Because she knew very well what was happening in the manager’s office at the moment.

After a while, Ren Juman ran out

She exchanged a glance with Jiang Yuping, then shyly ran away to the bathroom.

Obviously, both parties knew the truth, but neither of them had the tacit understanding to expose it.

After a while, Ren Jieman hurried back and saw Jiang Yuping still waiting outside the door, so she hurriedly explained to her.

“Um… Sister Yuping, Brother Chen was just talking to me about something in the office just now.”

“Ah.”

In response to Ren Jieman’s “there is no silver here” excuse, Jiang Yuping nodded quickly to show that she understood, but her flushed face still betrayed her inner thoughts at the moment.

Talk about a big deal worth hundreds of millions, and then let you swallow it, right?

At this time, Ke Chen swaggered out of the office, looked around at the two women and chuckled.

“Let’s go, have dinner.”

“it is good.”

Ren Jieman subconsciously held Ke Chen’s arm, but at this moment, her cell phone suddenly rang.

“I’ll take a call.”

Ren Jieman paused, took out her cell phone and saw who was calling. She was stunned for a moment, then turned around and held the phone to her ear.

“Hey! Mom, what’s wrong?”

“Hmm… How are you doing lately, eh?”

Ren Jieman was suddenly stunned, then she looked at Ke Chen and quickly lowered her voice.

“You want to come? No, no, no! I’ve been busy with work lately and I really can’t spare the time to entertain you.”

“Tomorrow. Oh, didn’t I tell you not to come? I have to go back. Okay, okay, I got it. I’m still busy. I’ll hang up first.”

After Ren Jieman hung up the phone, Ke Chen raised his eyebrows.

“what happened?”

“Well… let’s talk about it while we eat.”

Ren Jieman held Ke Chen’s arm again, but she was obviously more depressed than before.

Seeing this, Ke Chen did not force the question. He then asked Jiang Yuping to drive to Qianxiang City, and the three of them randomly found a hot pot restaurant.

While eating, Ren Jieman finally revealed the content of the phone call.

The specific meaning is that after her mother learned from her father Ren Guorong that Ren Jieman had found a boyfriend, she kept urging her to go home.

Either bring your boyfriend back to meet your parents; or don’t bring your boyfriend and come back for a blind date
Otherwise, the old couple would have taken the train directly to Jiangbei City tomorrow.

“So your family is urging you to get married.”

As someone who had experienced this, Jiang Yuping naturally understood Ren Jieman’s difficulties, so she sat aside and comforted her softly.

“You’re only 24, why are you in such a hurry? In today’s society, too many people marry and have children later in life.”

“But they keep emphasizing that no one will want you if you’re twenty-five or twenty-six.”

Ren Jieman poked the potato chips in the small bowl with the tip of her chopsticks and pouted, obviously unhappy.

“I clearly told you I have a boyfriend, but they still asked me to go back for a blind date! They said the guy they found is better.”

“Pfft-!”

Upon hearing this, Ke Chen’s face was expressionless, but Jiang Yuping at the side couldn’t help laughing out loud.

“No matter how good the conditions are, they can’t be as good as Mr. Ke’s, right? By the way, Manman, where are you from?”

“Ningqu.”

“Hmm…I don’t think I’ve heard of it.”

“It’s in the northernmost part of Jiang Province, a small city, not very famous.”

“It should be similar to Jicheng.”

Ke Chen said softly while eating beef covered with sesame sauce.

“In that case, I’ll go back with you tomorrow. It takes about six hours to drive to the next province.”

“Will that interfere with your work, husband?”

Ren Juman was a little worried.
“Also, our gym has just hired a group of new employees. We have to train them, sign contracts and so on. It should be very busy recently.”

“It’s okay, just take a vacation.”

Ke Chen said indifferently.

“We’ll think about these things when we get back.”

“Honey, I don’t think this is going to work.”

This was the first time that Ren Jieman had a disagreement with Ke Chen.

“If we close the store, I feel there will be a huge loss, and it will affect the enthusiasm of some customers to apply for credit cards.”

“It will also make some people think that we are going to run away with the money, and it may generate some rumors that our competitors can use to their advantage.”

“You have a point.”

Ke Chen thought about what Ren Jieman said, then turned his gaze to Jiang Yuping beside him, and the corners of his mouth suddenly curled up.

“By the way, Sister Yuping, you should have nothing to do during this period, right?”

“Well, nothing’s wrong.”

“Then you can help us look after the store.”

I?
Jiang Yuping was holding a vegetable leaf in her mouth, looking very surprised, and she looked very funny and amusing. After being stunned for a moment, she quickly waved her hand to refuse.

“No, no! I can’t do that! I don’t know how to do that!”

“I’m just helping to open the door in the morning. If the employees have any questions to report to you, please tell me and Manman online and we will handle it remotely.”

Ke Chen seemed to have already thought of a way to deal with it.

“Of course, I will also let Wanying assist you in this matter. After all, I see that she has been quite relaxed in Jiangbei City recently.”

“In that case, then give her something to do. We can’t let her be a secretary for nothing.”

“…”

When Jiang Yuping heard that Xu Wanying was asked to run the store with her, she originally wanted to refuse, but after some thought she agreed.

“Okay, Mr. Ke, how many days will you be away from Jiangbei City?”

“Not sure, but try to get back as soon as possible.”

“Within three days!”

At this time, Ren Jieman suddenly raised three fingers and said seriously.

“Brother Chen just accompanied me home to visit my parents. There’s nothing else to do. He will be back soon.”

“it is good.”

After dinner, the three of them returned to Tigerli Gym.

Ke Chen handed the gym key to Jiang Yuping, then reminded Qian Chengcheng of some precautions and told her that he and Ren Jieman would be away from Jiangbei for a while.

“Do not worry!”

Qian Chengcheng patted his chest and made a promise.

“Everything will be fine as long as I’m here to keep things under control!”

“Thank you for your hard work. I’ll give you a bonus when I get back.”

“Bonus? Oh! I’m so embarrassed! Thank you, Mr. Ke!”

After arranging the follow-up of the gym these days, Ke Chen now faces a most critical issue.

So where does Jiang Yuping stay at night?
Ke Chen couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

If I set off for Ningqu early tomorrow morning, after I pack my luggage, I will definitely stay at home with Manman tonight.

Therefore, Jiang Yuping, who was originally staying at home temporarily, had to sleep outside for one night, after all, the house to be rented for her had not been found yet.

After thinking for a moment, while Ren Jieman was in the bathroom, Ke Chen pulled Jiang Yuping aside and gave her some instructions.

“You can go to the Bulgari Hotel tonight and sleep there. Just use my name to book a room. After Manman and I leave tomorrow, you can go to my house.”

“Good host.”

“I guess you’ve had a hard time these few days while I’m away from Jiangbei.”

Ke Chen handed the spare key of the house to Jiang Yuping and said softly.

“The Bulgari Hotel has a spa service. You can go and relax in my name.”

“No need, Master. It is my duty to help you share the pressure.”

“Just do as I say.”

Ke Chen’s firm attitude made Jiang Yuping feel warm at heart, and she finally accepted his kindness.

“Thank you, Master!”

“You’re welcome.”

After all, Ke Chen considered that the star-up task for the Bulgari Hotel was to check in at the spa center, so he asked Jiang Yuping to help complete it during the few days he was away.

In this way, if I let her and Xu Wanying go to the [Soft Light Health Club] to check in at the steam room, then when I come back, all the star-up tasks except for [Suwen Bookstore] will be completed!
Now that I have resolved Manman’s family issues and have come out of the prison, I can get the ownership of these building grids one by one.

Ke Chen already had a rough plan in mind. Seeing this, Jiang Yuping tactfully took a taxi to the Bulgari Hotel.

“Where’s Sister Yuping?”

After Ren Jieman came out of the bathroom, she only saw Ke Chen, which made her a little confused.

“She went home?”

“Ah.”

Ke Chen took a step forward and hugged Ren Jieman tightly in his arms, then leaned over and whispered in her ear.

“Manman, do you need to buy something for your parents?”

“No need for this!”

Ren Jieman quickly waved her hand to refuse, looking a little shy.

“After all, this isn’t a proper visit. I’m already very satisfied that you came with me. If there’s a chance next time, you can bring gifts to my house.”

“it is good.”

Ke Chen nodded.

“There are some things I bought from Hermes at home. Pick two of them as gifts for your parents.”

“I told you not to… Ugh!”

Without giving Ren Jieman a chance to finish, Ke Chen leaned over and kissed her cherry lips, savoring the beauty of it before chuckling.

“You can’t just go empty-handed, right? Just do as I say.”

“Good~”

Ren Jieman has a soft personality to begin with, and if you ask her to do something, she will compromise on her own as long as you pester her for a while.

What’s more, it’s something like a boyfriend buying gifts for his parents?
There is no reason to refuse.

So Ren Jieman soon gave up insisting. In addition, the kiss made her heart full of sweetness and happiness. Her head was dizzy and the only thing she had left was the thought of being with Ke Chen.

“Hubby, let’s go home~”

“it is good.”

After seeing Ren Jiman’s pretty face gradually turning red and the sparkling mist in her slightly narrowed eyes, Ke Chen knew that a big battle was inevitable tonight.
