Although she said they could rest, Tang Zhi Chu was pulled up by Zhou Yun less than three minutes after sitting down.

"There's a group exercise class starting now, let's go!"

In the general area, by the wall on the left, there was an empty space, and then a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror.

A young lady in a white tracksuit stood at the front. Her clothes were modest from the front, but cut to reveal her waist from the side.

The young lady had her hands behind her back. Despite her youthful face, she exuded a certain maturity.

Slowly, people began to gather.

"Xiao Yan! It's you today!" someone greeted the young lady.

She smiled and nodded, "I'll lead the class today."

"Great, then we're in luck!"

Tang Zhi Chu leaned against the wall. It was clear that this young lady was very popular at the gym. Many people hurried over when they heard it was her.

Tang Zhi Chu didn't go over, and Zhou Yun didn't force him.

"Do you still have the gym membership card I gave you?" Zhou Yun asked Tang Zhi Chu.

"I still have it."

"Don't lose it. The one I gave you is a gold card, which allows you to join our internal group. You can participate in many activities. Your physical fitness is really poor, you need to take it seriously. Come and train whenever you have time. Look at this atmosphere, there are young ladies leading classes for free every day."

Tang Zhi Chu nodded and smiled, "Now I understand why your business is doing so well."

Zhou Yun didn't accept Tang Zhi Chu's compliment, and said somewhat proudly, "Who asked for your praise?"

The group exercise class started over there, beginning with simple stepping.

Tang Zhi Chu thought to himself that Zhou Yun really knew how to run a business. The young lady with the baby face had a figure that rivaled their boss. She was like a budding flower, blooming freely before them.

Who could resist such a spectacle?

Women would want to become her, and men would be even more motivated to train. Even if they couldn't get close to her, just looking at her was a beautiful sight.

"Is she good-looking?"

Tang Zhi Chu snapped back to attention, "Huh?"

"You should be running now."

An hour later, Tang Zhi Chu collapsed on the treadmill.

No matter how much Zhou Yun pulled him, Tang Zhi Chu didn't want to move.

"I, I think. I think I'm going to die."

Zhou Yun looked around. Several machines were facing them, but she still gritted her teeth. She grabbed Tang Zhi Chu's legs with both hands and dragged him off the treadmill, letting him lie on the floor.

Then, Zhou Yun picked up the massage gun and began to relax Tang Zhi Chu's thighs.

It was the first time Tang Zhi Chu had seen Zhou Yun blush, but he was too weak to even speak.

"Your legs are almost as thick as mine, you really are a twig," Zhou Yun said, her face red, but her mouth still sharp.

Tang Zhi Chu simply closed his eyes, as if his ears couldn't hear.

"If I ran like you, I'd barely break a sweat. So, do you want to train? When you get back, join that internal group and book a personal trainer. Have someone guide you every time you come. Book a female trainer, at least a woman will supervise you, and you won't be able to get away with slacking off, right?"

Perhaps sensing the awkward atmosphere, Zhou Yun started chattering, not wanting the situation to become too uncomfortable.

"I'm talking to you? Did you hear me?"

Tang Zhi Chu opened his eyes, "I heard you, you're annoying."

Zhou Yun's eyes widened, and then she kicked him.

Tang Zhi Chu gasped, the kick landing right on his knee. "Hiss! This is a black shop! You hit people now?"

Zhou Yun threw the massage gun to Tang Zhi Chu, "If you don't want your legs to hurt tomorrow, relax them yourself."

Not far away, a figure hesitated for a long time, seemingly looking for an opportunity to approach.

Seeing that Zhou Yun and Tang Zhi Chu were no longer so close, she walked over.

"Sister Yun!"

Zhou Yun heard someone call her and turned around. It was the young lady who had been leading the class earlier.

Zhou Yun nodded, "Come over."

"This is Wang Xiao Yan, she's a very capable coach here," Zhou Yun introduced to Tang Zhi Chu.

Tang Zhi Chu sat up, "Hello, my name is Tang Zhi Chu."

"Hello."

"He's my friend. Do we still have food?" Zhou Yun asked Wang Xiao Yan.

"We do, I saved some specifically."

Tang Zhi Chu's spirits lifted, "There's food?"

In the lounge, after exercising, Tang Zhi Chu had an excellent appetite. He ate even the vegetable salad with great gusto.

Wang Xiao Yan looked to the side, her shoulders shaking as she tried to suppress a laugh.

Tang Zhi Chu was eating salad and shoving shrimp into his mouth, not bothering to peel them, just biting off the heads and setting them aside.

Zhou Yun couldn't stand watching anymore and took the box of shrimp, "Alright, alright, I'll peel them for you."

Wang Xiao Yan was a little surprised by Zhou Yun's actions, but her expression remained unchanged.

She knew her boss was participating in a dating reality show, and from Wang Xiao Yan's perspective, she figured her boss was probably doing it for his career.

Her appearance here today was specifically arranged by her boss, to let her get some exposure too.

However, some of her boss's actions and expressions didn't seem fake.

Wang Xiao Yan secretly sized up Tang Zhi Chu a few times. He was tall and handsome, better looking than those male colleagues, just a bit too thin.

On impulse, Wang Xiao Yan opened another box. Inside was fried fish and chicken breast. She then handed the box to Tang Zhi Chu.

"Thanks!"

Tang Zhi Chu felt like he had come back to life. He swallowed what was in his mouth and said to Zhou Yun, "You're really not suited to be a personal trainer. You're too harsh. If all personal trainers were like you, your gym would go out of business."

Zhou Yun rolled her eyes while peeling shrimp, "That's because you're weak, too unskilled. I wasn't even trying hard, and you couldn't handle it."

Tang Zhi Chu glared, "See? You're still arguing. If I were your client, I wouldn't come back tomorrow."

"Anyway, I've told you the important stuff. With your current physical condition, I'll just say one thing: can you even hold a girl? If you don't come, it's your own loss."

"I didn't say I wouldn't come, but... but can we take it slow?"

Zhou Yun handed him a lid full of peeled shrimp, "Eat up, skinny."

Tang Zhi Chu was a bit confused. He didn't understand why that term suddenly applied to him, "What does 'skinny' mean?"

"It means guys like you, tall and thin."

Tang Zhi Chu looked down and touched his stomach. He really couldn't refute it; he was indeed thin.

"I get it, you like those muscular guys!"

Zhou Yun didn't continue arguing with Tang Zhi Chu. Instead, she looked at Wang Xiao Yan, "Xiao Yan, show him that video."

Wang Xiao Yan nodded, tapped on her phone for a bit, and then put it in front of Tang Zhi Chu.

It was a short video, and the person in it was Wang Xiao Yan.

As soon as the video played, Tang Zhi Chu understood.

This was the background music he had given her on their last date, asking her to choreograph a dance to it.

The background music was mainly drum-based, with a fast tempo, leaning towards a cute and fresh style.

In the video, Wang Xiao Yan was very cute and danced well, but it wasn't very memorable, and the moves were quite difficult.

From a professional standpoint, it might be great, but Tang Zhi Chu was referencing DY's reach.

However, Tang Zhi Chu started praising, "Very impressive. This background music suits her very well."

Zhou Yun reached out, "Okay, then give me the money."

"You really want money?"

Zhou Yun smiled, but didn't mention the money again. She pushed another lid of peeled shrimp towards Tang Zhi Chu and took out a tissue to wipe her hands.

Zhou Yun felt she had a changed impression of Tang Zhi Chu. Last time, when she told him her DY wasn't doing well, Tang Zhi Chu gave her this background music.

At first, Zhou Yun couldn't guess what Tang Zhi Chu was up to. After learning that Tang Zhi Chu was a DY singer, she had her own speculation.

Perhaps he wanted to help her? As a DY singer who had gained nearly a million followers just by singing, he should have his unique insights.

It was precisely because of these things that Zhou Yun's perception of Tang Zhi Chu gradually changed and became more three-dimensional.
