Chapter 33: Chapter 33: The Beautiful Lady President of the Clubhouse
Before they went out, Miao Xuanxuan once again clung to Song Xiaodongās arm. Song Xiaodong turned to look at her, and she immediately gave him a disdainful look, saying, "What are you looking at? Weāre a couple now, okay?"
Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "Alright, to have snagged a girlfriend like this, I should be laughing in my sleep."
"Right, you just keep laughing sneakily," Miao Xuanxuan also chuckled, and then the two of them left the changing room.
"Hey, hey, you two have been in there for so long, donāt tell me you just had a quickie?"
"It doesnāt seem like a long time, yo. This guy is so impressive; how could he finish the battle so quickly?"
Just as Miao Xuanxuan said in the changing room, as soon as they came out, everyone started teasing them.
Even if Miao Xuanxuan was mentally prepared, she was still made to blush and her ears turned red by a few of her sisters, but Song Xiaodong had always had a thick skin and didnāt take these colored jokes seriously at all.
"I canāt chat with you guys anymore, I still have a class to teach, I have to go up now." Miao Xuanxuan said as she threw off Song Xiaodongās arm and ran off, nearly bumping into a woman head-on.
This woman had big wavy hair that made her look to be in her late twenties, wearing a black suit that was not only very pretty but also had the charm of a mature woman and the allure of an office uniform. She was President Li Sijie of the gym.
"President Li!" Miao Xuanxuan hurriedly greeted her.
Li Sijie nodded and said, "Xuanxuan, this must be your boyfriend, he looks very impressive."
"Heās okay, just average," flattered by Li Sijie, Miao Xuanxuan felt a bit proud and quickly told Song Xiaodong, "Brother Xiaodong, this is President Li of our gym, President Li, this is my boyfriend Song Xiaodong."
"Hello!" Li Sijie reached out her hand to Song Xiaodong.
Song Xiaodong shook hands with Li Sijie, her hand was very soft and felt comfortable to hold, and said, "Nice to meet you, President Li."
"Mr. Song, if you have time, how about we go upstairs for a chat?"
Song Xiaodong narrowed his eyes and then flashed a brilliant smile, saying, "Sure."
The three of them went up together to the sixth floor, where the dƩcor was even more luxurious. Miao Xuanxuan whispered, "This here is the advanced VIP suite. President Li also has her office on this floor."
Once inside Li Sijieās office, she invited them to sit on the sofa while she took a seat opposite them. Smiling at them, she said, "Mr. Song, may I ask what you do for a living?"
Li Sijieās smile was very attractive, especially the charm of a mature woman which made her smile feel like a breath of spring. Song Xiaodong replied, "Iāve just returned, and I donāt have a job at the moment."
Li Sijieās eyes lit up and said, "Would Mr. Song be interested in working at our gym then?"
Smiling, Song Xiaodong replied, "May I ask what kind of work youāre proposing I do here, President Li?"
Li Sijie smiled slightly and said, "What are you best at, Mr. Song? I mean, in terms of martial arts."
"Me... Iād say Chinese martial arts," he replied.
Li Sijieās eyes sparkled, saying, "Thatās perfect. Weāre actually looking for a coach to teach martial arts."
Miao Xuanxuan giggled and said, "Then that works out perfectly."
Li Sijie said, "Now letās talk about the compensation. Since you and Xuanxuan are a couple, Iāll give you the same benefits as Xuanxuan..."
Miao Xuanxuan playfully interrupted Li Sijie, saying, "President Li, weāre not really a couple. Itās just that Xiao Qiang keeps pestering me non-stop, so I had Brother Xiaodong pretend to help out, to get rid of his hopes in that regard."
"Oh? So then what is your relationship..." Li Sijie couldnāt help but laugh as she said, "Xuanxuan, you really are quite mischievous, but this isnāt a bad approach either."
Miao Xuanxuan, all smiles, said, "President Li, you two talk, I have to start my class now, so Iāll be leaving first."
Once Miao Xuanxuan had left, Li Sijie said, "Our coaches here all have a base salary of three thousand, and for each studentās fee, you get a ten percent commission. Mr. Song, does that sound satisfactory to you?"
"Itās acceptable, then thank you, President Li." Such income was already not low in this city.
Li Sijie nodded with a smile and said, "Mr. Song, I also have another type of coach here with an even higher income. I wonder if you might be interested?"
Song Xiaodong met Li Sijieās gaze, always feeling that this womanās eyes were somewhat peculiar, and said, "Letās hear it, President Li."
"Well, there are some more distinguished women who come to our club. They generally donāt go to those public fitness places to work out, and they need more professional people to give them individual guidance. This job usually has a higher salary, and many times, there will be tips as well."
Song Xiaodong understood completely and rubbed his nose, saying, "A job like that...isnāt out of the question, but I have a condition."
"What condition?" Li Sijie asked with narrowed eyes.
"First, I wonāt handle anyone old; they absolutely cannot be over thirty years of age. Second, no unattractive clients; they must be at least as beautiful as you, President Li."
"Pfft!" Li Sijieās eyes widened as she said, "Your requirements are even more stringent than those of the clients."
Song Xiaodong smiled faintly and said, "That canāt be helped; I just have picky tastes. If thereās someone I donāt find pleasing to the eye, no amount of money would make me want to earn it."
"Alright, alright, just for the compliment you gave me, Iāll agree to your terms. But these private jobs arenāt easy to come by; itās possible that you might not get one even in one or two years."
"Thatās fine by me," Song Xiaodong shrugged.
Putting that matter aside, Li Sijie said, "Letās sign a formal contract tomorrow, and you can probably start working officially this Saturday. Iāll start recruiting students for you in the next few days." Standing up, she reached out her hand to Song Xiaodong.
"Alright, thank you, President Li." Song Xiaodong stood up and shook hands with Li Sijie.
Her hand was incredibly soft, and he felt a sense of delicate fragility as he held it, so much so that Song Xiaodong hardly wanted to let go.
Li Sijie attempted to pull her hand away, but couldnāt, and her brows furrowed as her face fell, and she said coldly, "Mr. Song... please behave yourself."
Song Xiaodong still didnāt let go of her hand and said, "President Li, you must have been sleeping badly lately, suffering from frequent insomnia and restless dreams, and feeling anxious. This has caused your liver to be overly active, leading to a quick temper and constant headaches, right?"
Surprise wash over Li Sijieās face as she said, "Eh, how do you know that?"
Only then did Song Xiaodong release Li Sijieās hand, saying, "I do have some understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine. When I held your hand just now, I could feel that there was something amiss with your health, so I held on for a moment longer. I apologize if I was too forward, and I hope you wonāt take offense."
