"In addition, Lemon Fitness is still operating normally, with 1286 members, including 832 annual members, 318 quarterly members, and 136 monthly and single-visit members."

员工共计58人,其中前台4人、行政及后勤人员12人、销售顾问14人、健身教练28人;

All 28 instructors hold nationally recognized fitness instructor certifications, including 10 senior instructors, 12 intermediate instructors, and 6 beginner instructors. Their expertise covers multiple areas such as muscle building, fat loss, rehabilitation, yoga, and Pilates, making for a very comprehensive instructor pool.

Mao Yuetong sat quietly to the side, listening to Director Luo's report. Her eyes gradually changed from calm to surprise, and finally to complete shock. She unconsciously clenched the hem of her clothes, and her palms were sweating.

She had previously thought that Cao Xu's "acquisition of gyms" was at most a large gym like Wu Zhe's, with an investment of around ten million, or a smaller fitness studio.

But to her utter surprise, the gym itself cost 1500 million yuan, and Cao Xu actually bought an entire floor of the mall. This was no ordinary investment in a gym; it was a massive investment in commercial real estate!

She secretly calculated in her heart: even if she operated the fitness business well and the annual net profit reached 3 to 4 million, it would still take 30 to 40 years to break even after investing 120 million yuan.

However, if this 3000-square-meter floor were rented out, based on the current rental levels in the business district, the annual rent would be at least two to three million yuan, a sure-fire way to make a profit.

Cao Xu's wealth far exceeded her expectations, and the shock in her heart turned into a strong attraction, with her affection for him quietly rising.

[System Notification: Mao Yuetong's favorability has increased by 5 points, currently at 72 points!]

After the report was completed, Director Luo handed a pen to Cao Xu. The assets awarded by the system should be fine. Cao Xu quickly glanced through the documents and signed his name without hesitation.

Afterwards, the three of them went downstairs together to go to Lemon Fitness to complete the on-site handover. Director Luo had already contacted the original owner of the gym and the mall property management in advance, and both parties were already waiting on site.

In the car, Mao Yuetong finally couldn't suppress her anxiety and said softly, "Brother Xu, last night you said you would hand over the management of the gym to me. I thought it was just a small fitness studio. I never expected it to be so big and to have so much money invested."

"Right now... I feel like I'm not capable of managing such a large gym. If I don't do a good job and lose money, I'll feel really bad."

His tone was full of insecurity and worry, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

Cao Xu glanced at her sideways and said, "Since I dared to entrust this gym to you, I believe in your abilities."

I can see your ambition to be second to none. You can't be a fitness coach forever, so this is a great opportunity for you.

Furthermore, Lemon Fitness now has professional managers. You can learn from them here first, familiarize yourself with the business, and then officially become a manager when you feel confident in your abilities. There's no rush.

[System Notification: Mao Yuetong's favorability has increased by 1 points, currently at 73 points!]

These words instantly dispelled most of Mao Yuetong's concerns, warming her heart and giving her more confidence.

The group quickly arrived at the mall where Lemon Fitness was located. The gym's original owner and the mall's property manager were already waiting downstairs, both with warm smiles on their faces.

The original boss quickly stepped forward, took Cao Xu's hand, and smiled broadly: "Mr. Cao, I've been waiting for you! The formalities are all done, and I feel much more at ease now."

He secretly rejoiced. These days, the fitness industry is rife with problems. Three gyms in the vicinity have already gone out of business due to poor management. He had put in a lot of effort over the past few years, and after deducting rent, employee salaries and operating costs, his annual net profit was less than 500,000 yuan. Occasionally, he even had to lose money.

He was incredibly happy to be able to sell it for 1500 million, which was a steal. He was overjoyed to be able to get out in time and sell it to Cao Xu, this "sucker".

The mall's property manager also quickly stepped forward to exchange pleasantries.

Thinking to himself, the cash inflow of over 1 million yuan at once could solve the head office's urgent problem. There were two loans due soon. In this day and age, it was truly rare to have such a large amount of cash to purchase commercial real estate!

The law firm staff were professional and meticulous throughout the process, quickly producing handover documents and guiding the original owner, shopping mall property management, and Cao Xu to sign and confirm them. They carefully checked the gym's equipment, member information, employee files, etc., and completed the handover one by one.

After the original boss signed the papers and gave a few more brief instructions, he left in a hurry, wanting to get the money as soon as possible and completely escape the "quagmire" of fitness.

After the handover was completed, a middle-aged man in a suit with a capable demeanor walked over quickly and took the initiative to introduce himself: "Mr. Cao, hello! My surname is Zhang, and I am the professional manager of this Lemon Fitness, responsible for the daily operation and management of the gym."

Do you have any plans regarding future staff adjustments at the gym?

Cao Xu immediately understood what Manager Zhang meant; he was testing whether Cao Xu would retain him.

Cao Xu asked, "What is your current salary and benefits?"

Manager Zhang quickly replied, "Mr. Cao, my current base salary is 2 yuan. With sales commissions and performance bonuses, I take home about 4 to 5 yuan a month." His tone was a little nervous; jobs with this salary level are hard to find these days.

Cao Xu nodded slightly and said decisively, "You can continue doing this for now. Since the gym is operating well under your management, let's keep it as it is."

Sales commissions and performance bonuses will remain unchanged for now, but your base salary will be increased by 5000 yuan. Work hard, and you won't be treated unfairly.

Manager Zhang was overjoyed and quickly bowed to express his gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Cao! I will definitely work hard and live up to your trust!"

At this moment, Director Luo stepped forward and said, "Mr. Cao, we will arrange for a dedicated person to handle the subsequent matters such as the change of legal representative, change of business license, and equity registration. You don't need to worry about it. We will notify you as soon as it is completed."

Cao Xu nodded and turned to look at Mao Yuetong beside him: "Sister Tong, these next two days, please cooperate with Director Luo and their lawyers to complete the follow-up procedures."

"Just follow Manager Zhang closely and learn from him. Familiarize yourself with the gym's operational procedures, member management, and team management. Your salary and commission will be the same as Manager Zhang's. For now, you won't be responsible for specific business operations; just be Manager Zhang's assistant. Learn more, observe more, and talk less. If you have any questions, contact me immediately."

He paused, then whispered, "Do your job well, but don't put too much pressure on yourself."

If you are truly capable of running the gym well, I can gradually transfer the gym's shares to you.

As you can see, this gym is just a project I invested in casually. I don't care how much I earn each year; the important thing is to give you a chance to showcase your abilities.

Upon hearing this, Mao Yuetong's eyes welled up with tears, and her gratitude and fighting spirit were instantly ignited. Cao Xu had not only given her a chance but was also willing to give her shares. This trust and high regard made her completely let go of all her concerns.

At this moment, Cao Xu was not only her lover with whom she shared a bed, but also her mentor, making her feel as if she would die for a friend who understood her, and she couldn't wait to do something for him.

[System Notification: Mao Yuetong's favorability has increased by 10 points, currently at 83 points!]

The relevant techniques and power generation memories have been simultaneously implanted into your body, forming an instinctive reaction!"
