After Becoming Financially Free, They Offered Their Loyalty - Chapter 147

Chapter 147: Nana Is Disturbing My Dao Heart

TL: YYang

Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment. ‘Is even Nana trying to disturb my Dao heart now?’

“Then let’s give it a try.”

Shen Yuan wanted to see what new tricks Nana had in store for him.

Chen Na’s face turned bright red. In fact, this was the first time she had ever teased Shen Yuan. Before, she had always been half-pushed, half-willingly conquered by him.

“So, do you want the ones with letters or without letters?”

Hearing this question, Shen Yuan’s throat felt a little dry. “Let’s start with the ones without letters…”

“Okay… wait for me.”

After Chen Na finished speaking, she got up, first turning on the bedside lamp, then rustling through the closet to find some clothes.

“Wait for me.”

“Okay.”

Everyone had different preferences, just like with tofu pudding—some people liked it sweet, and some liked it savory.

Naturally, some people preferred bare legs, while others preferred black stockings.

Bare legs were unrestrained and warm to the touch, while black stockings were smooth and uniquely alluring.

Preferences were a hard thing to define.

However, Shen Yuan liked both.

Of course, it also depended on who was wearing them.

Five minutes later, Chen Na, having changed her clothes, walked out.

She had changed into a sleeveless black one-piece dress. The front of the chest was a lace hollow-out design, which sparked one’s imagination.

The main point was her lower body. Nana’s legs were very well-shaped. Slender and long, yet not lacking a fleshy, voluptuous feel. There was a beauty in their perfect proportion, and Shen Yuan had played with them quite a bit.

Chen Na had a shy expression on her face.

“Hiss…”

Shen Yuan sucked in a sharp breath.

Who could withstand this?

This was also the first time he had experienced this kind of service. The novelty of it was no less than the service the class beauty had given him that time.

The Balenciaga stockings, which cost over 2,000 yuan a pair, indeed felt wonderful to the touch.

After they were finished, Chen Na went to rinse her mouth, then returned to Shen Yuan’s side, curling up in his arms.

Shen Yuan thought for a moment and said, “Nana, help me buy a few sets of more business-style clothes and shoes tomorrow. I might have to wear them often in the future.”

Shen Yuan currently only had business-style clothes over at Coach Liu’s place. Otherwise, sometimes when he came to Nana’s, he had nothing to change into.

Chen Na agreed, “Okay, do you need to buy a belt or a watch?”

Shen Yuan was taken aback. He suddenly remembered that Chen Na was now a little rich woman herself. The last time he had transferred 5 million in pocket money to her, she had only spent a few hundred thousand on things for Shen Xuan and her parents, leaving her with over 4 million.

“You decide,” Shen Yuan replied.

Chen Na nodded, already having a plan in mind.

The next morning, after eating the fitness meal Chen Na had prepared, Shen Yuan headed to Junyue Fitness.

After two hours of vigorous exercise, Shen Yuan checked his panel. His weight was already very close to 75KG, and his body fat had dropped to 15.3%. It seemed he would soon be able to meet the system’s requirements.

Shen Yuan rested in place for a while, then put his arm around Liu Menglu’s soft waist and went to wait for the elevator. As they walked, he said:

“In a couple of days, help me visit two fitness centers and one yoga studio. Find out about their business operations, service levels, staff efficiency, and so on. Then summarize their strengths and weaknesses and tell me.”

“Hmm? Visit them?”

Liu Menglu turned her head to look at him. “Are you going to buy them?”

“I’ve already bought them, but I don’t know the situation very well yet.”

“Really?!” Liu Menglu couldn’t help but exclaim.

Two gyms, one yoga studio, bought just like that?

Although she didn’t know how much Shen Yuan had paid, opening a fitness center was no small sum. Even a small gym would cost over a million.

Not to mention a large fitness center or a fitness club. If it had a swimming pool, it would be at least 5 million to start. If the decoration and equipment were of good quality, it would be 10 million and up.

She hadn’t expected Shen Yuan to buy two fitness centers and a yoga studio in one go.

Tsk, tsk!

However, she had witnessed Shen Yuan’s financial power. Liu Menglu was shocked for a moment but quickly came back to her senses. She linked her arm with Shen Yuan’s and said in a sweet, coquettish voice, “So you mean you want me to go undercover?”

“I don’t care what identity you use, as long as the results you provide me are true and comprehensive.”

Now that he had a company and was a boss, he naturally had to get a clear picture of the situation of these properties. Besides the tedious reports and management briefings, a field inspection was of course necessary.

Liu Menglu was a professional in the fitness industry. She would definitely be able to understand things in more detail, so Shen Yuan immediately thought of sending her.

“Okay, no problem.”

Liu Menglu agreed readily. As Shen Yuan’s personal butler and private trainer, her biggest fear was that Shen Yuan would have no tasks for her, especially since the fitness industry was her area of expertise.

[Ding!]

[Detected that the Host has begun to fully understand the properties under his name.]

[Properties not only need to be maintained, but also expanded and improved.]

[In view of the Host’s initiative to improve his properties, a property quest is now being issued.]

[Time-limited Quest: Increase the net profit of Jingfu Health Management Co., Ltd. by 5% within three months.]

[Quest Reward 1: The salary and dividends the Host receives from Jingfu Health will be tripled in cash back.]

[Quest Reward 2: The Host will receive a certain amount of shares in a Mysterious Property.]

The system’s quest was late but it arrived. It was always triggered when he made a move.

Putting aside the rewards, this quest was clearly more difficult.

Increasing net profit by 5% might not seem like much, but for the service industry, it was actually very high.

A short-term profit increase required starting from both cost and value aspects.

But now that the industry was becoming saturated and market competition was so fierce, increasing it by 5% was really not that simple.

However, given the system’s usual style, since the quest’s difficulty had increased, the corresponding shares in the mysterious property would definitely be more generous than this Jingfu Health.

Not to mention the triple cash back on dividends and salary.

He had to go for it!

Also, this was a time-limited quest. The system had only given him three months, so he needed to speed up the pace a bit.

Back in the room, Liu Menglu helped Shen Yuan bathe, then opened two lunch boxes containing the fitness meal she had prepared for him.

Seeing Shen Yuan eating with gusto, Liu Menglu blinked her beautiful eyes and said, “Shen Yuan, I want to have a baby for you too. Is that okay?”

Shen Yuan frowned. Liu Menglu had already brought this up twice, but he had politely declined both times. Why was she bringing it up again?

He hadn’t even sorted things out with one pregnant woman at home, let alone another one.

Besides, Liu Menglu was very playful, and Shen Yuan didn’t want her to have a child so soon.

When Liu Menglu saw Shen Yuan’s expression change, she quickly said, “I’m sorry, Shen Yuan. I won’t mention it again, I won’t mention it again. I just couldn’t help myself just now.”

Shen Yuan didn’t say anything. This kind of thing was the same principle as “I can give it, but you can’t ask for it.”

He could understand that Liu Menglu wanted to have a child to secure her position, but everything had to go according to his pace.

Seeing that Shen Yuan didn’t answer, Liu Menglu felt a little uneasy and moved closer. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it. Please don’t be angry with me, okay?”

Shen Yuan deliberately waited until he had finished his fitness meal and wiped his mouth before saying, “It’s fine.”

Liu Menglu linked her arm with Shen Yuan’s and rubbed it against her headlights, cooing, “You haven’t said it’s fine yet. Your look just now scared me. I’ll never mention this again.”

After speaking, she even leaned close to Shen Yuan’s ear and said, “Daddy, please don’t be angry with me, okay?”

Of course, Shen Yuan couldn’t possibly be angry with Liu Menglu. It was normal for people to have desires. It was just that human greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Sometimes, if he didn’t suppress their desires, they would only become more demanding in the future.

On this point, Coach Liu was clearly not as good as Nana.

However, in the end, Shen Yuan still rewarded her with a few small goals as usual, only this time he gave her perky, round, white buttocks a few extra slaps to help her remember.

Afterward, Liu Menglu proactively asked for the names of the two gyms and the yoga studio, never mentioning the matter again.

After leaving Junyue, Shen Yuan met with Jingfu’s former boss, Shi Wenkuan, for tea. After some pleasantries, they talked about his views on Jingfu.

During this time, he also asked about the family and living situations of several members of the management team. Shi Wenkuan was forthcoming with everything he knew.

The next morning, Shen Yuan arrived at Jingfu and called Jia Nanshou, the general manager of the Jingfu Physical Examination Center, to his office.

Because currently, both fitness centers and the yoga studio were profitable, while only the physical examination center could barely break even.

Jia Nanshou was in his forties, slightly overweight, and a bit bald. He sat opposite Shen Yuan and explained:

“Mr. Shen, there are already quite a few physical examination centers in Star City. As far as I know, many of them are operating at a loss. Actually, our center is doing pretty well.”

Jia Nanshou first talked about the general environment, then made comparisons with competitors, and finally, he proposed his own solution:

“I personally believe that for the physical examination center to turn a profit, we need to start with business expansion. I’ve recently recruited a few sales elites. They have extensive networks and resources. Give them some time, and they will definitely be able to bring in large orders from enterprises, factories, and schools.”

“As long as we improve the efficiency of our existing staff, the profit will naturally increase.”

Jia Nanshou thought his explanation and plan were very well-put. After all, he had been in this industry for over a decade, working with the boss since the company’s inception. His level of experience was certainly not something an outsider could compare to.

Shen Yuan gave him a faint look. “Since you knew long ago that you needed to expand the business, why did you only start recruiting people recently?”

Shen Yuan had seen the financial reports. The profit level of the physical examination center had been at this level for the last quarter. Jia Nanshou couldn’t fool him.

And the problems with the physical examination center were definitely not limited to what Jia Nanshou had mentioned.

When Jia Nanshou heard the new boss’s tone of holding him accountable, he immediately bowed his head and said:

“The boss’s criticism is correct. This was an oversight in my work. Because the physical examination center has recently been replacing some equipment, I was completely focused on that. This is indeed my responsibility. I will conduct a deep self-criticism.”

Shen Yuan smiled without saying a word. This was truly an old fox, quite skilled at twisting concepts.

“Alright, there’s no need for a self-criticism for now.”

The problems with the physical examination center couldn’t be solved in a short time. Shen Yuan changed to a more amiable tone. “Old Jia, I heard your son is taking his high school entrance exams these two days. Which high school is he planning to apply to?”

Jia Nanshou was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected Shen Yuan to even know about his family situation.

The key was that his tone was like casual chatter, and he couldn’t figure out this new boss’s game.

He could only reply awkwardly, “Mr. Shen, my son’s grades are average. We’ll see which school he can get into.”

The two chatted for a few more sentences. After Jia Nanshou left the office, he was still a bit bewildered. What exactly did the new boss mean by all that?

But he had to get a handle on the profits, or he wouldn’t be able to deliver. Things were different now than when Mr. Shi was the boss.

Meanwhile, Shen Yuan sat in the boss’s chair with his eyes closed, resting. In his opinion, this Jia Nanshou definitely had to be replaced.

The man was too slick.

The key was that his actions weren’t clean either. Besides the profit issue, when he was looking at the human resources report the day before yesterday, he had discovered that there were many employees with the surname Jia in the physical examination center. This was definitely not a coincidence.

If he was pulling these kinds of stunts on the surface, one could only imagine the under-the-table gray income.

When he had tea with Shi Wenkuan yesterday, Shen Yuan had also learned that this Jia Nanshou had been with him the longest, so he had turned a blind eye.

But now that Jingfu had changed hands, he couldn’t be allowed to mess around here.
