The Rich Man's Life Begins with a Comeback

Chapter 97: Select Only, Don't Get Entangled

After lunch, Gu Heng followed the team's rehabilitation therapists to the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber for physical therapy and relaxation, while Luo Xiwen and Jiang Ruan went along with them.

The two women stood two meters away from the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber. They watched as Gu Heng took off his shirt and walked into the chamber wearing only boxer shorts. Neither of them looked away.

As mist began to rise inside the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber, Luo Xiwen's gaze drifted towards Jiang Ruan, finally settling on the red mark on Jiang Ruan's neck, near her jaw.

Just now, Luo Xiwen noticed the red mark on Gu Heng's neck, but she didn't pay much attention to it, thinking that Gu Heng had been bitten by a mosquito.

Gu Heng, being a man, naturally has thicker skin. After yesterday's long period of ice application and massage, the hickey had almost completely faded. To the naked eye, it was just a faint red mark that wasn't very noticeable.

But Jiang Ruan is different. She has naturally fair skin and delicate skin. Even though she applied ice and massaged her skin for a long time in her room last night, the marks were still very clear.

Looking at the hickey on Jiang Ruan's neck, which was exactly the same as the one on Gu Heng's neck, Luo Xiwen immediately realized that the red mark she had just seen was not a mosquito bite at all.

It is obvious that Gu Heng and Jiang Ruan had an intimate relationship.

'Could it be that they have already...'

When Luo Xiwen thought of this possibility, he felt a lump in his throat.

Although she had prepared herself mentally long ago, she knew that a man like Gu Heng would definitely have many women around him in the future.

However, when this actually happened, besides feeling a little sad, she felt mostly resentful.

'I was right first!'

Luo Xiwen pursed his lips, feeling genuinely depressed.

On the other side, Jiang Ruan felt Luo Xiwen's gaze and slowly turned her head to look at him.

Their eyes met, their expressions complex, but neither of them spoke.

Because they didn't know what to say, and they had no stance.

A secretary and an assistant.

One doesn't want to leave, the other can't leave.

No one is the legitimate wife, and no one's identity is aboveboard.

They looked at each other in silence, then looked away and turned back to look ahead.

Given Gu Heng's current physical condition, he could only stay in the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber for a maximum of two minutes.

In just those two short minutes, Gu Heng felt completely refreshed, as if all the fatigue from the morning had vanished.

Gu Heng stepped out of the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber and looked at the two women standing side by side with a calm and natural expression.

Filter only, don't get bogged down.

This was the same principle that Gu Heng learned from Wang Baoshan that night.

True strong individuals always operate with the mindset of "I'm telling you what I'm doing, you can do whatever you want."

They will proactively reveal their polygamous needs and are extremely honest about it.

If it's acceptable, I'll stay.

If you don't accept this, leave.

What is the true mindset of a strong person?

That's absolute confidence; they're betting that you'll never meet a man more awesome than them in your life.

Today, Gu Heng made no attempt to hide the fact that Luo Xiwen met Jiang Ruan, which was essentially a screening process, and it seems the result has been quite good.

As for Jiang Ruan...

This is a special case.

If she weren't the target of the challenge mission, Gu Heng wouldn't have gone to such lengths to get entangled with her. It can only be said that it was fate.

After leaving the liquid nitrogen cryotherapy chamber, Gu Heng chatted briefly with Luo Xiwen before heading to the mobile hyperbaric oxygen chamber for physiotherapy and recovery. Luo Xiwen stayed with Gu Heng there for a while before leaving.

……

Time, single people, fingertips, go for it!

In the blink of an eye, late autumn has arrived.

"Boom!"

"Bang bang bang!"

Inside the upscale fitness studio, Gu Heng was wearing boxing shorts and boxing gloves.

As the boxing coach in front of him raised the punching pads, Gu Heng delivered precise strikes immediately, his movements as swift as lightning.

Two months of intensive training allowed Gu Heng to undergo another magnificent transformation.

At this moment, Gu Heng was shirtless.

Compared to his loose, flabby physique two months ago, which lacked any muscle definition, his physique now exudes power and sculpted beauty.

He has broad shoulders, full and prominent deltoid muscles, and a strong and well-defined shoulder and neck line.

The forearm muscles are firm, the pectoral muscles are thick and well-defined, and the midline is deep.

His six-pack abs are neatly arranged and clearly defined, displaying a dynamic beauty with every breath.

With broad, thick back muscles, the latissimus dorsi extends upwards from the waistline, and the muscle groups are clearly defined. Anyone who sees such a physique would have to sincerely praise him as a handsome man.

"boom!"

As the final punch landed, the boxing coach in front took two steps back.

"Clap clap clap..."

Before they knew it, the arena had been surrounded by people.

Huang Xue, the vice president of Xinghuo Fitness Studio, the eight experts of the exclusive training team, as well as Luo Xiwen and Jiang Ruan, all applauded Gu Heng from the bottom of their hearts.

"Chairman Gu, congratulations!"

Huang Xue congratulated Gu Heng, saying, "Not only have you successfully achieved our initial goals, but you have also far exceeded them!"

Today is the last day of Gu Heng's contract with Xinghuo Fitness Studio, and also the deadline to unlock the second level of the [Golden Tower of Wealth] challenge.

For the past 10 weeks, Gu Heng has been completely oblivious to everything else, with only two words on his mind:

Weightlifting!

The only time I indulged myself was that night with Jiang Ruan.

Since that night, Gu Heng has been like an ascetic, never getting close to women.

Aerobic exercise —

It will only make him lose muscle!
Reject women, reject aerobics!
Now, the bitterness has finally given way to happiness.

Gu Heng not only achieved the 15% body fat percentage required by Tongzi, but also exceeded the target, pushing his body fat percentage to 13.78%.

"Thank you all for your hard work and guidance over the past two months!"

"Tonight at Zhenhai Seafood Restaurant, we're drinking until we drop!"

Gu Heng looked at Huang Xue and the others and spoke loudly.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Gu!"

"We will definitely be there on time!"

As the vice president in charge of major clients, Huang Xue naturally had to maintain a good relationship with a major client like Gu Heng.

At the same time, Huang Xue also genuinely admired Gu Heng.

A billionaire, not for work purposes, and without any profit motive, managed to reduce his body fat percentage from 22% to below 14% in just over two months. His astonishing willpower and execution were truly remarkable and could hardly fail to amaze her.

It's important to understand that even many celebrities driven by profit find it difficult to endure such high-intensity training day after day, and some even experience mental breakdowns.

Those seemingly simple numbers represent sweat and hard work that cannot be described in words; otherwise, how could they be worthy of the word "transformation"?

Huang Xue wasn't the only one who admired Gu Heng; Luo Xiwen and Jiang Ruan, who had witnessed Gu Heng's journey firsthand, were also among those who admired him.

Women all admire strength.

In the past, the strength that Gu Heng showed to the two women all stemmed from external wealth, status, and identity. However, the strength that Gu Heng showed during this period came from his inner willpower, execution ability, and endurance.

Gu Heng could have lived a life of luxury, and he didn't need such a great physique to win the hearts and favor of countless women, yet he still maintained such strict self-discipline, which made it hard for the two women not to admire him.

Gu Heng exchanged a few pleasantries with Huang Xue and the others before stepping down from the arena.

"Xiwen, later you can settle some of the fees for this period of time with the owner of this fitness studio, and then you can come to dinner with us tonight."

Gu Heng gave instructions to Luo Xiwen.

"Ok."

Loshvin nodded.

"Jiang Ruan, could you drive me home?"

After instructing Luo Xiwen, Gu Heng turned to Jiang Ruan and gave her further instructions.

"it is good."

After giving instructions to the two women, Gu Heng gestured to Huang Xue and the others before changing his clothes and leaving.

……

After returning home.

Gu Heng went straight back into the room and locked the door from the inside.

"call--"

Sitting in the single sofa chair, he took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. Then he brought up the system screen and looked at the countdown that was about to reach zero. His emotions were extremely excited.

Just as the countdown reached zero, a familiar, crisp sound rang out in Gu Heng's mind precisely, followed by a sudden change on the system screen.

[Challenge: Reduce body fat percentage from 22% to 15%]

[Completion Status: 100%]

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully unlocked the second level of the "Golden Tower of Wealth"]
