Jiang Chu continued to focus on preparing for the competition.
When the weekend arrived, Beijing was blessed with a bright and sunny day.
The light snow that fell last night has ended, and the golden sunlight streams in through the huge French windows, illuminating the beige wool carpet in the living room with a warm glow.
Xie Jing also had a relatively leisurely weekend. After finishing a cross-border video conference, he asked Jiang Chu if she wanted to go out and have some fun.
Jiang Chu was eating breakfast, her hair loosely tied in a bun, haphazardly tossing seasoning onto her fried egg. "...Okay! Where to?"
"Where do you want to go?"
Xie Jing picked up a knife and slowly cut open a soft-boiled egg, watching the golden yolk slowly flow out.
He looked up, his deep black eyes falling on the little girl's fair face, his gaze filled with obvious indulgence.
"We've both been pretty busy these past few days, how about we go out and relax?"
"Hurrah."
Jiang Chu took a bite of the European-style bread spread with avocado puree, her cheeks puffing out. "You decide. We can go anywhere, since you're busier than me."
Xie Jing looked at her adorable appearance and silently smiled. "Okay, I'll make the arrangements."
Shortly after, the Rolls-Royce drove off Yunxiang Road and headed east toward a secluded area nestled against the mountains on the outskirts of Beijing.
Finally, we stopped in front of a cluster of modern buildings nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with a stark and austere style.
The buildings here are predominantly gray and white, with black and gray steel grilles and minimalist lines.
The surrounding barren mountains, still covered in snow, exude a sense of restrained and sophisticated elegance.
There was no conspicuous sign at the entrance, only a subtle silver logo laser-engraved on a huge black granite monument.
An ice crystal outline composed of dense geometric lines, with a line of restrained English text printed below: ICEFORM.
"Ice sculpture?"
Jiang Chu leaned against the car window, looked at the sign, and read it aloud with some curiosity.
She had seen the name before in the digital editions of some top fitness and exercise physiology journals.
This is one of the most prestigious and mysterious clubs in the world in the field of "extreme physical training" and "elite functional body shaping".
"Yes."
Xie Jing turned to the side, unbuckled his seatbelt, and casually ruffled the top of her hair.
As they entered the clubhouse, the minimalist yet sophisticated coolness became even more pronounced.
The floor is covered with a dark gray functional rubber layer with excellent sound absorption, and a holographic dynamic physical fitness monitor is hung on the wall.
Instead of the sweat and leather smell of a typical gym, it has a faint, cool fragrance, like the air of the Arctic.
The entire spacious training area on the first floor was almost empty, with only two or three people in professional coaching uniforms discussing something in the distance.
Jiang Chu changed her clothes in the locker room.
She wore a fitted, dark-colored cropped sports vest and high-waisted yoga pants.
The girl has an excellent bone structure, with a long neck, delicate collarbones, and beautiful abs, exuding youth and energy.
"...By the way," Jiang Chu looked around, "can I bring just anyone in here? Or did you register a membership for me?"
Xie Jing changed into a set of pure black professional functional training clothes.
The tight-fitting fabric perfectly accentuated his tall and muscular physique, highlighting his full pectoral muscles, narrow waist and abdomen, and the prominent latissimus dorsi muscles as he moved.
They all exude a strong sense of oppression.
"I've registered you," he said calmly, "so you can come over if you like."
As soon as the two entered the holographic physical simulation chamber area on the first floor, a tall, blond man walked towards them.
The moment the other person saw Xie Jing, their blue eyes lit up, and they uttered a string of English with a heavy accent.
Jiang Chu struggled to do her listening exercises.
Xie Jing nodded slightly and greeted the man as well.
Charles is the Beijing-based executive director of a top European investment bank and a key partner in several large-scale overseas capital operations undertaken by Tianyu Group in recent years.
He strode over, shook hands with Xie Jing, and then his gaze lingered on the girl next to him for a second, a flash of amazement in his eyes, but he politely refrained from looking at her for long.
Then he looked at Xie Jing again.
After exchanging a few words, Xie Jing nodded and explained to Jiang Chu in a low voice, "There's a cross-border clearing channel for an offshore energy fund next quarter. Their team just came up with a new compliance plan last night. I'm going to talk to them for a while."
Jiang Chu nodded. "You can say whatever you want."
Since they came here to exercise, even if there was no one else around, the two of them wouldn't be completely glued together.
"Be careful, ask the coach if you have any problems," Xie Jing reached out and pinched her slightly cold fingertips. "I'll be back soon."
"Okay, teacher."
The two men disappeared around the corner in the distance.
Jiang Chu turned around and focused her gaze on the holographic obstacle course in front of her.
It was a facility equipped with electronically controlled grids that simulated extremely complex wilderness terrain and balanced elevation differences.
The facility occupies a huge area, with blue holographic beams constantly crisscrossing across the sensor belt, simulating various moving obstacles and blind spots that require instantaneous dodging.
At the top of the device is an LCD screen that displays the current clearance record and real-time sensor feedback.
Jiang Chu walked curiously onto the sensor mat.
The moment her feet touched the ground, the beams of light throughout the facility were activated, and a blue wall of light silently moved from the front toward her chest.
Jiang Chu raised an eyebrow.
Faced with the oncoming wall of light, she didn't panic and retreat like an ordinary person. Instead, she deftly shifted her feet to the side on the rubber mat.
A very graceful step, shifting the weight from the left foot to the right foot in an instant.
"Whoosh."
The wall of light grazed the edge of her clothes, and the sensitivity matrix on the screen flashed a green pass signal.
Next came two intersecting moving light gratings, which significantly increased the speed of their approach.
Jiang Chu's interest was piqued.
She no longer used ordinary athletic leaping movements to deal with it.
Facing the light grid below that almost touched the ground, her slender body rose unexpectedly into the air.
An extremely beautiful twist that gives a strong sense of airborneness.
The core strength of the waist and abdomen contracted to its maximum in that instant.
As the light grating swept past below, she completed a graceful spin in mid-air.
"Slap, slap, slap."
A round of applause came from the rest area outside.
