Chapter 27: The Azure Bird's Diligent Inquiry
On the first night at the foot of the mountain, Wang Chan actually didn't feel comfortable. He had long been accustomed to sitting in meditation all night in the temple, using dhyana to replace sleep. It was strange that he could adapt to another way so suddenly.
Fortunately, Lei Xing's villa was large enough, and the roof had a manually controlled glass wall that could be opened on good weather days, making it still breathable. So Wang Chan spent this evening in Lei Xing's practice room.
Still getting up at midnight to apply Vajra butter all over the body, then starting the routine practice of the 13th Tai Ba horizontal smelting method, and then going to the bathroom downstairs to take a hot bath.
It's just that because of his stinginess, he didn't even put in the special herbs he had prepared for himself, which was a bit "incomplete".
When the sun rose to a pole height, Lei Xing finally got up. He didn't eat breakfast, just brushed his teeth and then dragged Wang Chan out, shouting loudly as they left.
From a flower gentleman in the capital city to the head of the provincial and municipal criminal investigation team, although for Lei Xing, who is used to seeing high-ranking officials everywhere, it is purely not being taken care of by his family and being sent out. However, in the local officialdom, he can reach this position at a young age, which is already a high-ranking position, making many people fear him.
"Trouble, trouble! I was too excited yesterday and didn't fall asleep until the second half of the night. I got up late, hurry up and send you to my elder sister's place to report your arrival. After that, I have to rush to the office for a meeting."
With a burst of smoke, it rushed into the garage. This time, Lei Xing brought out an ordinary Beijing Jeep. He beckoned Wang Chan to get in and before he could even close the door, he stepped on the accelerator and sped away with a roar.
"It seems that the meeting he's going to attend today is likely to be very important, otherwise, with Leijia San Shao Ye's temperament, he wouldn't be in such a hurry. I just don't know what kind of place this so-called fitness club where Zhou Yahang works is, and whether it's similar to the private club Hongxiu Lin?"
For many years, the largest city Wang Chan had been to was Hulin County, and the tallest building he had seen was the five-story old building of Hulin Department Store with peeling walls and spots like a Dalmatian. Although he had long heard from Zhou Lin that Zhou Yahang was an empty-handed martial arts coach in a high-end fitness club in the provincial capital, he did not know what this so-called fitness club looked like.
Plus I went to Red Sleeve Forest with Lei Xing yesterday, so I naturally thought that private clubs and gyms should not be much different!
The car drove in silence for more than half an hour, then entered the city, and Leixing navigated through the skyscrapers, making several turns until even Wang Chan felt dizzy, before finally stopping under a 30-40 story high-rise building.
The building occupies a large area, with a large outdoor parking lot outside. From top to bottom, it is fully covered with a uniform glass curtain wall of a deep blue color like the sea. Looking from afar, it seems like a vast expanse of solidified pure sky. On top of the building, there are also large and exaggerated flying eaves, which are extremely bold and eye-catching, making a lasting impression on anyone who sees them.
As soon as the car stopped, someone helped open the door immediately.
The people here obviously recognize Lei Xing, knowing that he is the boss's younger brother, so they are very respectful. No matter how his car is parked at the entrance of the building, no one dares to manage it.
Bluebird Building
Blue Bird (International) Fitness Club.
As soon as he got off the car, Wang Chan looked up and took a glance around. At first sight, he saw a row of big characters hanging in front of this high-rise building. On the glass curtain wall, someone had carved out a huge cyan bird with unknown techniques. The tail had several long feathers, flapping its wings as if it were about to fly, looking extremely majestic.
The first floor of the building is all a reception hall, with open doors and an exceptionally spacious interior. Here and there are three or five tall green plants, naturally dividing the entire area into different functional areas, very clean and tidy.
As soon as Wang Chan walked in, he found that the decoration of this hall was quite peculiar. Different areas had different service counters, and even the receptionists were of different skin colors, speaking various languages and accents. There were Chinese ladies wearing cheongsam, blonde-haired blue-eyed foreign women, and even black-skinned white-toothed blacks. As time passed, people who didn't know better would really think they were in a domestic airport's waiting area.
Looking around, Wang Chan took a glance and felt slightly relieved in his heart, knowing that he was inexperienced and knew too little about the world outside the mountains, with a feeling similar to when Liu Laizi first entered the Grand View Garden.
"Judging from the looks of this place, it should be a decent establishment. Just by looking at these receptionists with different skin tones, you can already tell how large the scale of this place is."
"My sister's gym is not like those ordinary gyms on the market, where you spend money to rent a place and buy some treadmills and strength training equipment. It's a truly international fitness club that implements a VIP membership system."
Knowing that Wang Chan had never been to the provincial city, Lei Xing began explaining as soon as he entered the hall.
"This is one of the thirty-two platinum member clubs designated by the International Fitness Association in the Asian region. There are different gym centers here that specialize in teaching various courses. Basically, each floor is a category, and floors 1-10 are regular exercise areas open to ordinary people, including running, swimming, yoga, etc. Floors above 10 are VIP training areas specifically for members, with private training rooms, restrooms, and services equivalent to those of a five-star hotel."
"In addition to these, every year, numerous international fitness events are co-hosted with many international organizations, and training and venue rental services for some domestic sports teams are also undertaken!"
"Besides, the most important thing is that a platform for communication has been built here for those upper-class people who pay attention to their bodies and exercise regularly. Above the 36th floor of this building is prepared for some special customers, in addition to daily physical exercise, it also integrates many business elements... Forget it, I won't say anymore, even if I explain it to you now, you won't understand, anyway, you will work here in the future and naturally have plenty of time to get familiar with the situation. Let's hurry up to the top floor, or my time will run out."
Wang Chan quietly listened to Lei Xing's introduction. He had always been good at listening when he didn't understand something. Although Wang Chan still couldn't fully comprehend some of the things Lei Xing said, he generally gained a certain understanding of the Qing Niao Fitness Club.
Knowing that this place and Hongxiulin are two different things!
On the other hand, I also took a good look around. On the walls behind the reception desk in this hall, there were flags of different countries hanging without exception. In addition to this, at the entrance and exit, there were people coming and going from time to time, old and young, and no matter whether they were entering or leaving, there were staff members wearing neat uniforms leading the way, providing very thoughtful service.
"You haven't told me what job you're going to introduce me to." As Lei Xing walked into a spacious transparent sightseeing elevator, Wang Chan slightly furrowed his brow, only now remembering to ask Lei Xing this question.
At this time, a young girl wearing snow-white sportswear and sports shoes with a ponytail was walking quickly to the entrance of Qingniao Building. As soon as she entered the door, many people kept saying hello to her.
This girl is spotless from head to toe, not a speck of dust on her. Her face is bare without any makeup, just a natural and radiant complexion. She walks with the lightness of the wind, and when she speaks, her words are crisp and clear, her voice melodious like the tinkling of silver bells in the breeze. Her entire being exudes an involuntary aura of vibrant sunshine.
"Hey, wait for me!" Just as Lei Xing opened the elevator and it was slowly closing, the girl shouted and ran to the front. By the time she arrived, the elevator doors had already closed, and she couldn't help but stomp her foot in frustration, looking up at the elevator.
As he looked up, through the blue glass wall, he only saw a familiar figure with his back to him talking to Lei Xing, and couldn't help but exclaim "Huh!"
"Huh? Another bald head, looking at this back figure, could it be the little uncle from Guandi Temple? No way, that guy only knows how to hide in the mountains all day, like a wild man, how could he possibly run to the provincial city? And yet, he seems so familiar with Tingting's brother?"
In the elevator, Lei Xing said with a smile: "I originally wanted you to go to my sister's place as a coach and teach some boxing techniques in the martial arts hall. However, through yesterday's incident, I realized that you are not suitable for being someone else's coach at all. You are too ruthless when it comes to taking action. So, I changed my mind on the spot and wanted you to be the head coach of Qing Niao here, overseeing everything and managing all the coaches in the thirteen martial arts halls."
"How about it, brother? Are you satisfied with this arrangement? It's easy and comfortable. Normally, you just need to occasionally go to other halls to take a look around, give them some symbolic guidance, and the rest of the time is up to you to arrange. And the salary is still high..."
"Isn't that just like the Eighty Million Imperial Army's General Instructor in Water Margin?" Wang Chan's eyes lit up, he was well-read in Three Kingdoms and Water Margin, and in his heart, he most admired Lin Chong, the leopard-headed general from Water Margin who was unbeatable with spear or staff. Although he knew that nowadays there were no longer any Eighty Million Imperial Army instructors of spear or staff, the title of General Instructor still made him feel a bit surprised.
"What about the original head coach then?" Wang Chan asked directly to the point.
A martial artist, has always been particular about reputation and dignity. If he were to take this opportunity, relying on his relationship with Lei Xing, he would have become the head coach of Qing Niao, and unintentionally blocked others' paths. When encountering unreasonable people, it's inevitable that a lot of trouble will be stirred up for no reason.
Wang Chan was not afraid, but he also did not want to have an irreconcilable conflict with someone as soon as he arrived here.
