Me? Powerless?

One day later, the trip to Liangxi came to a temporary end.

Bai Xiaomi stayed in Liangxi to handle the house matters, while Zhang Yang went directly from Liangxi to Hangzhou.

On the way to Hangzhou, Zhang Yang sat in the back of the Phantom, watching Bai Xiaomi's real-time reports.

Bai Xiaomi handled each matter meticulously.

[Mr. Zhang, the keys.]

Bai Xiaomi sent me photos of the house keys she had just received after the handover.

"If you're not in a hurry to go back, you can stay in Liangxi for a few more days. You can stay wherever you like," Zhang Yang replied.

"No, I'll go back as soon as I'm done. It's so lonely being alone without you here," Bai Xiaomi sent a voice message. "I'm planning to have someone clean everything inside and out, cover up anything that needs covering, and then go home after the utilities are transferred."

Zhang Yang chatted with Bai Xiaomi for quite a while before ending the conversation amidst her reluctance.

As they approached Hangzhou, Zhang Yang saw Tian Chuxi's posts on WeChat Moments.

It's a photo of her wearing yoga clothes at a fitness studio, captioned. "A must-do check-in after every delicious meal."

Judging from the location, it's in Hangzhou.

This is Tian Chuxi's private WeChat, and it seems to be a high-end private club that is not open to the public, so there is no worry about being disturbed.

Zhang Yang glanced at it and then gave it a thumbs up.

Coincidentally, a short while later, Tian Chuxi sent a message.

"Chairman Zhang, have you come to Hangzhou?"

"Just arrived." Zhang Yang, feeling bored, chatted with Tian Chuxi for a while. "Are you working out?"

"I ate too much yesterday, and I felt so guilty last night. I quickly made an appointment with Teacher Feifei at the gym today," Tian Chuxi said.

"Teacher Feifei?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.

"A celebrity personal trainer, huh? Lots of big stars specifically request her. This one in Hangzhou is her own private training center," Tian Chuxi replied. "By the way, do you want to come over and hang out for a bit?"

"Me?" Zhang Yang chuckled, glancing down at the time. "Sure, let's go sit down and chat about the filming details. Send me your location."

"Okay, I'll send you the location. Call me when you arrive." Tian Chuxi immediately sent the specific address.

Zhang Yang checked the address and mentioned it to the driver.

About half an hour later, we arrived at the destination.

The address of the celebrity personal trainer's studio wasn't particularly noticeable, but there were nanny vans parked downstairs.

After Zhang Yang got out of the car, he had just walked in when a glass door blocked his way, so he lowered his head and sent a message.

A moment later, through the glass door, Zhang Yang saw a yoga teacher with a ponytail and a curvaceous figure walk out.

"Mr. Zhang?"

"Yes, that's me." Zhang Yang nodded.

"Please come in." The yoga teacher smiled and opened the door, letting Zhang Yang in.

The small studio offers excellent privacy, and despite its small size, it is fully equipped with high-end furnishings and equipment.

In the yoga room, Zhang Yang met Tian Chuxi.

She was dressed in yoga clothes, her long hair was tied up, and she was meticulously practicing kettlebell swinging.

Zhang Yang remained silent and watched for a while.

It's surprising how focused and attentive Tian Chuxi is when she exercises. Moreover, judging from her breathing, she seems to pay close attention to the frequency of her movements.

After a while, Tian Chuxi, her face flushed from exercise, put down the kettlebell with her chest heaving, and smiled at Zhang Yang.

"Chairman Zhang, you're here."

"Yeah, I just saw you exercising, so I didn't want to bother you. Why don't you continue?" Zhang Yang said with a smile.

"Okay, you sit down first, I'll continue." Tian Chuxi nodded and walked towards the yoga shop next door.

The store's celebrity coach, Ms. Feifei, stepped forward and began to professionally and earnestly instruct Tian Chuxi on her exercise.

Zhang Yang stood aside and watched for a while, then, out of boredom, wandered around.

"Mr. Zhang, would you like to train for a while?" Coach Feifei came out, greeting him with a smile. "You must be someone who exercises regularly, right?"

Her gaze couldn't help but linger on Zhang Yang.

However, as the weather turned cooler, Zhang Yang was dressed in loose and casual clothes, so only his tall and slender figure could be seen. As for the details, they were hidden under the loose clothing.

"No, I'm just taking a look." He had no intention of showing off; he simply waved his hand.

"Okay, feel free to look around. I'll go to Miss Tian's place now." Coach Feifei smiled and went back into the yoga room.

Zhang Yang turned around and sat down on the sofa.

A moment later, Tian Chuxi took her sports water bottle and sat down directly in front of Zhang Yang.

"Chairman Zhang, how are your preparations going?"

"Prepare for what? You mean filming a movie?" Zhang Yang chuckled. "What do I need to prepare? Just play myself, isn't that enough?"

"At least you should memorize your lines, right?" Tian Chuxi said with a smile. "You can't just count to four and then dub them in post-production, can you?"

"Is that not allowed? I think I've heard that some people in your industry have actually done that in filming?" Zhang Yang said half-jokingly. "Have you ever done it?"

Tian Chuxi choked on her water.

"I'm very dedicated, okay?"

"Then don't worry, I won't break my promise either," Zhang Yang said with a slight smile.

"That's good." Tian Chuxi breathed a sigh of relief and took a tissue to wipe her mouth.

The two sat together and chatted for a while when Tian Chuxi's phone, which was on the table, suddenly rang.

"Hey... Sister Sun, you're here?"

"What? He's coming along too?"

After a while, Tian Chuxi put down her phone, her brows immediately furrowing.

"What's wrong? Is there trouble?" Zhang Yang glanced at Tian Chuxi and asked casually.

"I'm a little annoyed." Tian Chuxi shook her head, looking somewhat troubled. "The son of one of the investors in my drama has been... like a leech lately. Sister Sun just told me that he followed Sister Sun car all the way here."

"He's pursuing you?" Zhang Yang immediately understood. "So, are those rumors about you just publicity stunts or are they real?"

"Of course it's just hype..." Tian Chuxi rolled her eyes at Zhang Yang. "I'm in the prime of my career right now, I haven't thought about personal matters at all, okay?"

Zhang Yang had no interest in meddling in other people's private affairs.

I asked it casually, and that was the end of it.

A while later, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door not far away.

"Miss Tian?!"

Tian Chuxi frowned again.

A moment later, the door opened.

Sister Sun jogged over and whispered something in Tian Chuxi's ear.

Then, a handsome young man walked in with a cheerful voice. "Miss Tian, I've been looking for you several times but you're not here. I just happened to run into Sister Sun today, so I followed you here. Please don't mind."

"Young Master Luo," Tian Chuxi nodded politely, "Please have a seat."

"Okay, I've made a reservation at a restaurant tonight. I hope Miss Tian will do me the honor." The boy called Luo Shao sat down casually, looked at Zhang Yang, his eyes narrowed instantly, and then he smiled nonchalantly.

Who is this brother?

"Young Master Luo, let me introduce you." Tian Chuxi gestured gently. "This is Chairman Zhang. The InterContinental Garden Hotel, where our new drama is being filmed, is owned by Chairman Zhang. Coincidentally, Chairman Zhang will also be making a cameo appearance in the drama."

"Chairman Zhang?" Young Master Luo was taken aback, then stood up and extended his hand. "Hello, Chairman Zhang, I am Luo Wenzhou. Please give me your guidance."

Clearly, the identity of the person in front of him was somewhat unexpected.

Zhang Yang glanced at Luo Wenzhou, nodded, and casually extended his hand to shake hands.

He wasn't some nobody actor who had to cater to the investors, so there was no need for him to be overly enthusiastic. Besides, the other party was just the investor's son.

In terms of status, they're not even on equal footing.

Luo Wenzhou sat down sullenly, his face slightly darkened, but he couldn't bring himself to lash out.

In terms of strength and status, those few words clearly showed the difference in their abilities. He was no match for this person who possessed assets worth over a billion.

"Okay, I'm going for a run. Let's have dinner together tonight," Tian Chuxi said to Zhang Yang in front of Luo Wenzhou.

"Sure, I'll reserve a spot." Zhang Yang nodded.

Immediately, Luo Wenzhou's expression turned even more unpleasant.

He had just offered to treat me to dinner tonight, and not only did he not receive any response, but he even invited this Chairman Zhang right in front of me...

"Sir, would you like to practice for a while?" Feifei, who was standing to the side, noticed the situation and deliberately interrupted, trying to ease the atmosphere.

"Okay!" Luo Wenzhou glanced at Tian Chuxi, who had already stepped onto the treadmill, and readily agreed.

A moment later, Luo Wenzhou, who had changed into brand-new gym clothes from the store, came out. His arms were strong, and he looked like he worked out regularly.

"Chairman Zhang, want to join us for a bit?"

He deliberately walked in front of Zhang Yang and loudly invited him.

"No, you've practiced enough." Zhang Yang shook his head, indicating that he wasn't interested.

"Chairman Zhang, you can't neglect your health while busy with your career," Luo Wenzhou smiled and walked straight to the barbell rack.

Put on dumbbells, then lie on the bench.

Bridge, bench press.

Judging by their posture, they seem quite professional.

Watching him push the barbell up and down, Zhang Yang felt as if he were watching a male bird shaking its feathers to attract a mate, and he felt embarrassed for him.

With a loud crash!

Return the barbell to its original position.

Luo Wenzhou deliberately made a lot of noise, trying to attract Tian Chuxi's attention, and then seemingly casually glanced at Zhang Yang.

"Chairman Zhang, you really don't want to give it a try?"

"No need," Zhang Yang shook his head again.

"Chairman Zhang, it's okay if a beginner can't push heavy weights. If all else fails, progressing from an empty bar to a weighted bar is still progress. Come on, I'll help you and make sure you're safe." Luo Wenzhou suddenly got excited.

"We all started as beginners, so don't be afraid of making a fool of yourself."

"No, I'm just looking for a sense of superiority in this area," Zhang Yang muttered to himself, finding it amusing.

Does this guy not know what it means to "show off one's limited skills before an expert"?

Showing off your superiority in this area to get attention? Do you want to see him embarrass himself? Are you asking for trouble by coming here yourself?

"Alright then." Zhang Yang stood up. After all, he was quite annoyed by the other party's repeated tactlessness, so he decided to shut the other party up completely.

Not far away, the treadmill suddenly stopped, and Tian Chuxi walked off.

"Young Master Luo, isn't this unnecessary? Chairman Zhang has no interest whatsoever. Why force him? Besides, the new drama is about to start filming. It wouldn't be good if Chairman Zhang were to suffer any mishaps."

She approached Zhang Yang and whispered again, "Chairman Zhang, don't get angry with him, it's not worth it."

"It's okay, I know what I'm doing. We're all young people, it's fine to have some fun," Zhang Yang said casually with a smile.

"Miss Tian, I always said Chairman Zhang is definitely not the kind of weakling who can't even kill a chicken. You don't need to have such unnecessary worries." Luo Wenzhou smiled smugly.

Coach Feifei stepped forward and offered her a very loose-fitting set of workout clothes.

"Mr. Zhang, this way please."

"Okay." Zhang Yang took the clothes and headed straight for the changing room.

The area suddenly became quiet.

Tian Chuxi stood to the side, seemingly indifferent, and ignored Luo Wenzhou's incessant chatter.

"Miss Tian, don't worry, I guarantee Chairman Zhang's safety and that it won't affect the filming of the drama," Luo Wenzhou repeatedly assured her from the side.

"Young Master Luo, please stop talking," Tian Chuxi said calmly. "I will definitely inform President Luo about today's matter. You and your father can explain the details yourselves."

Luo Wenzhou's expression changed slightly, and he said with a forced smile, "Miss Tian, it's not that serious, is it?"

Tian Chuxi simply ignored her.

As they were talking, a figure walked into the locker room in the distance.

"This is..." Coach Feifei stepped forward, then suddenly froze, standing still.

Zhang Yang, walking towards them from a distance, was wearing loose-fitting workout clothes that couldn't hide his perfectly sculpted muscles, which resembled those of a Greek sculpture.

Even someone in the industry like her couldn't help but marvel at her figure.

Not far away, Tian Chuxi remained motionless, her eyes gleaming with a strange light.

Is Dong's physique... absolutely incredible?

Throughout the entertainment industry, many male celebrities who rely on their looks have boasted about their physiques, but compared to the man in front of them, they are worlds apart, incomparable.

With Zhang Dong's physique and looks, he's a top male celebrity in the entertainment industry.

But the key point is that Chairman Zhang is a businessman!

"Holy crap!" Luo Wenzhou almost lost his balance.

He works out regularly, so of course he knows the quality of this physique; it's absolutely top-tier.

"Okay, I'll just do a simple push." Zhang Yang glanced at the barbell, not intending to push himself beyond human limits.

The current world record for bench press without equipment is approximately 300 kilograms.

Or should he just show off 300 kilograms?

Wow! Zhang Yang didn't even know if there were any people in China who could bench press 300 kilograms without any equipment.

The thought only flashed through my mind.

But he didn't slow down at all, continuously adding barbell plates.

"Chairman Zhang, that's way too much! How much do you usually bench press?" Luo Wenzhou exclaimed in surprise as he stepped forward to dissuade him.

Honestly, ever since his last bit of superiority over fitness disappeared, all he felt now was resignation; his advice was purely out of instinct.

"I don't know." Zhang Yang shook his head.

He had never pushed himself to his limit, but these 300 kilograms were certainly far from his limit.

As they were talking, the weight had unknowingly increased to three hundred kilograms.

"Chairman Zhang, this absolutely won't do!" Luo Wenzhou's eyes widened, and he exclaimed in shock, his tone becoming somewhat panicked.

Three hundred kilograms?!

What kind of international joke is this? In the amateur circle, he'd never even heard of him, let alone seen him. Even in the professional circle, he'd be a top-tier, first-rate power master in the country.

Seeing Zhang Yang lift such a heavy weight, how could he not panic?

Even if he were to play a support role, he wouldn't dare.

If something really bad happens later, he can't afford the consequences.

"Whether it's feasible or not, don't I know myself?" Zhang Yang smiled, didn't explain further, and simply lay down under the barbell, stretching out his hands, ready to push it out.
