The Three-Life Stone

Walking on the road, the two people were still in shock.

On the way back, Yu Le rode his bike with Sui Rou. The path leading to the city was a little dim under the street lights. The evening breeze blew gently but did not take away the vitality of the young people.

Sui Rou's eyes rolled around and she hugged Yu Le's waist out of tiredness. Yu Le's heart was pounding. He didn't feel tired at all after two hours of walking. He thought that if time could stop, if he could hold her like this forever, he would be willing to do it all night.

After returning home, Yu Le immediately picked up his phone and told Sui Rou that he was safe. Then he took a shower, returned to bed, stared at the phone and told Sui Rou that he was very happy today. The tiredness of his eyes could not stop Sui Rou from saying, "Le Le, I am very happy today too." He fell asleep with a smile.

In the gym studio, Yu Zhaozhao had just finished teaching a class to a member and was about to leave when the boss called Yu Zhaozhao and said, "Zhaozhao, come to the office for a while."

"Hey, good."

Yu Zhaozhao readily agreed, packed up his belongings neatly, and opened the office door.

The boss was typing at the computer desk. When Yu Zhaozhao came in, they looked at each other and nodded with a smile. Yu Zhaozhao waited quietly by the side. After about five minutes, the boss put down the work in his hands and turned to Yu Zhaozhao.

"Zhao Zhao, let's stop the group exercises over there after this month."

Yu Zhaozhao was puzzled: "What's the matter, Boss? I didn't delay either side."

The printer printed out the documents, and the boss pinned them together and handed them to Yu Zhaozhao: "That's not what I meant. I want you to be a partner. I'm usually not here, so you can treat this as your own studio. You should understand all these matters. You and I have watched this studio build up together, so I trust you to manage these. I won't treat you unfairly. I'll take 70% of the profits and you'll take 30%. Here's the contract, you can take a look first."

"Boss, I'm just an employee. What I do is part of my job. Why don't you reconsider it?" Yu Zhaozhao was tempted. But if he maintained his own understanding, it would be unrealistic for him to enjoy the rights of a shareholder without investing anything.

"I asked you to come here because I have considered it carefully. I plan to open a chain of studios. You stay here to take care of it. When it is convenient, you can occasionally go to other branches to learn from each other."

The opportunity was right in front of him. Yu Zhaozhao looked at the contract and thought that he was the one who got the advantage. He suppressed his excitement and said, "Okay, boss, I'm going to the bathroom first."

The boss nodded.

Yu Zhaozhao knew that she couldn't agree right away, nor could she delay it for too long. If she agreed right away, the boss would know that she had never seen the world and would be easily satisfied, and it was hard to say whether she would deduct money when the time came; if she delayed it for too long, something unexpected would happen, and a few minutes to go to the bathroom was just right.

Yu Zhaozhao called Shen Xingzhi to share the news. After Shen Xingzhi agreed, Yu Zhaozhao felt relieved. A bystander can see things more clearly, and he is not the one who is blinded by interests.

After signing the contract and leaving the studio, Yu Zhaozhao still felt a little elated.

At the age of 35, she had paid off most of her loan, got a promotion at work, her boyfriend, who was two years younger than her, had a stable relationship, and her son was able to continue attending a provincial high school.

This is a good turn, even if it is a little late, the future is promising.

In every group class thereafter, Yu Zhaozhao's sweat was more sincere, and it was a silent farewell.

On the spinning bike, pedal along with the rhythm, cheer over and over again into the microphone, guiding members step by step from the initial warm-up to the passion and vitality in the middle and then to the stretching and slowing down at the end.

In the balance ball class, we train members’ balance, correct everyone’s incorrect postures, and use props to follow up each class.

She looked at the large classroom and the gym members, feeling a little reluctant.

There is always a time for gathering and separation.

I once faced the podium, the person who was afraid to go on stage in the training class; I once treated it as a task at work, feeling irritated but having to deal with it patiently; now I have bid farewell to this podium and headed to the studio.

The gym would not inform members when the gym instructor would leave. Only after the class schedule was updated did some people start asking the front desk or Yu Zhaozhao why he had stopped using WeChat, and Yu Zhaozhao responded one by one.

Yu Zhaozhao did not intend to take the opportunity to poach people to boost sales, she just hoped that someone who checked her movements would be able to see the pinned circle of friends at a glance.

"I'm in the studio recently and it's not convenient for me to go to class. It's fate that brought us together. Our fate does not end here. We will meet again in the future. Thank you for your support over the years." The accompanying pictures are photos taken with members after class.

I didn’t post on Moments for a few days after that.

As for the studio, we do a good job of publicity online and occasionally cooperate with shopping malls for promotion. With the help of the boss's connections, our performance remains stable.

In the negotiation room, Yu Zhaozhao did a physical test for a new customer. Holding the physical test form, Yu Zhaozhao looked at the middle-aged woman and said, "Sister, you should eat supper and stay up late."

"Yes, in this era, who doesn't stay up late and eat midnight snacks? I'm considered lucky. I'm not fat, but I just want to lose weight."

"Yes, I look relatively young and well-proportioned. Most of my body fat is concentrated in my abdomen. I should not eat for at least three hours before going to bed, and I should get enough sleep."

"I understand what you said. I don't want to change. Should I just practice like this?"

"Well, sister, let me make a plan for you. You can do whatever you want every day. You can have a midnight snack if you want, but we have to agree not to eat too much. After you have digested the food, you can go to sleep. This is not only for losing weight, but also to reduce the burden on the stomach."

The woman asked without much patience: "How much?"

"Sister, we come to the gym to change. If you are happy, then we will be happy too. I will show you around the studio and let you experience the exercise before making a package. It's free before that. Is that ok?"

The woman nodded. She didn't like the atmosphere in the gym. There were too many people and the environment was relatively closed. There were fewer people in the studio. Although the price was a little higher, there was basically one person in one place and it was not crowded.

Her previous impatience was because she didn't like Yu Zhaozhao's kind of small talk. In her opinion, it was just for the sake of making money and he kept talking in such a bunch of nonsense.

But no matter how impatient she appeared, Yu Zhaozhao was always very patient in guiding her, taking her to learn the knowledge for free and letting her experience the courses for free. Not to mention anything else, Yu Zhaozhao was the first to offer it for free, and she left directly afterwards, and Yu Zhaozhao couldn't say anything. Just because he was not afraid of being at a disadvantage, the woman's impression of the studio improved a lot.

Not everyone is in a hurry to make money, and she could feel Yu Zhaozhao's sincerity in the several places they visited.

During the process, Yu Zhaozhao learned the woman's name. Yu Zhaozhao introduced Wenwen to the use of each piece of equipment, and slowly accompanied her to teach her how to use it.

In addition to the equipment area, Yu Zhaozhao also took Wenwen to the private training area for a physical assessment.

Wenwen has uneven shoulders due to work, and Yu Zhaozhao patiently explained the muscles around the shoulders, which muscles need to be loosened and exercised. Wenwen's pelvis tilts forward, which is common to most people, and it is easy to get backaches over time.

Yu Zhaozhao taught Wenwen a lesson about these. During the one and a half hour class, Yu Zhaozhao did not ask for payment. After the class, in order to urge Wenwen and not waste money, she recommended that Wenwen try to stick to it for three months. If she can persist, she can renew the subscription and get a discount at that time.

Wenwen was deeply moved. No matter which gym you go to, people will tell you that the longer you stay, the more cost-effective it is, regardless of whether you can persist or not.

Wenwen did not decide immediately. After paying the deposit, she said she would think about it again.

This time the question was not as concise and direct as before, which made Yu Zhaozhao feel Wenwen's determination.

Wenwen finally chose the six-month package. She accompanied her husband from being poor to rich, endured hardships until middle age, and waited until her son went to college. Now she has made some money from her business and plans to hold a wedding with her husband in six months. Before that, she must first change her image. Skin care and other things are easy to do, she can make a strategy herself.

I also like to exercise, but I just can't find the right way, so I was looking for gyms and studios. I checked several places and compared prices before I confirmed this studio.

Yu Zhaozhao was happy for Wenwen, not entirely because she was a client, but more because she was happy for this marriage that finally had a chance to shine.
