The Secret of the Yoga Club: The Women's Identity is Not Simple

It was already getting dark when Lin Feng left Tianlong Group. He hailed a taxi and headed straight for Baijinhai.

Platinum Sea is completely different during the day and at night. The lobby is empty, the crystal chandelier is off, and only a small lamp is lit at the front desk.

The young woman at the front desk recognized him and pointed directly to the elevator, saying that Sister Hong was on the fourth floor.

Lin Feng walked through the corridor with practiced ease and pushed open the door leading to the private swimming pool.

The pool water was still a deep blue, shimmering under the warm yellow lights. Sister Hong was climbing out of the pool, her hands gripping the edge, water cascading down her body. She then picked up a drink from the table, unscrewed it, took a sip, and lay down.

Lin Feng did not go into the water.

I lay on the recliner next to me, with my hands behind my head, looking at the crystal chandeliers on the ceiling.

Sister Hong dried her hair with a bath towel, and Lin Feng took a sip of the drink and shared his thoughts that he had been pondering for some time.

The province is cracking down hard now. Things like card rooms and nightclubs are too easy to get into trouble. Those gray industries that stubbornly resist may be wiped out at any time, and they won't even be able to get their money back.

Billiard halls are a good option. Located near schools, they have a stable customer base and are not afraid of inspections. They can still operate during periods of strict enforcement and even increase revenue.

He planned to first investigate the market, looking at the size, pricing, and customer traffic of the billiard halls at the surrounding universities.

Sister Hong gently wiped her arm with a towel, thought for a moment, and said that this idea was good.

Her father had considered starting a legitimate business back then, but he had no connections or backing, so he eventually went back to his old ways.

She felt much more at ease now that Lin Feng was helping her plan. As she spoke, she picked up a document from the low table next to the recliner and handed it to him.

Lin Feng took it and opened it; it was a share transfer agreement. The company's name was Longlin Group, which sounded quite imposing.

The contract clearly states that Lin Feng holds 30% of the shares in Longlin Group Co., Ltd., second only to Hong Jie's 35% stake.

In other words, as long as he signs, from now on, Lin Feng will be the largest shareholder of this group besides the founder.

Hongjie continued to gently dry her wet hair with a bath towel, saying as she did so that she had recently learned some details about Zuo Ning through Biao Ge's connections.

After Wu San's incident, Zuo Ning became more cautious. He rarely appeared in public and all orders were relayed through a deputy.

But this person's shady dealings won't decrease much just because she's cautious. As long as she can grasp one more key clue, she'll have a way to completely bring down Zuo Ning.

Lin Feng glanced through the contract, picked up a pen, and signed his name in the signature section. Sister Hong watched him sign but didn't take the contract back; she simply leaned back in her recliner and continued drying her hair.

I can finally breathe a sigh of relief now that you've arrived.

Before, she had no powerful connections and had to shoulder everything herself. She gritted her teeth and fought against Zuo Ning and those old foxes. Every day when she opened her eyes, all she thought about was whether someone would come to shut down her shop.

She knew that Lin Feng wasn't helping her because she was rich. He had never wanted her money from the beginning, and although she didn't say it, she kept it all in her heart.

He just quietly draped his arm over her back, without saying a word. The poolside was quiet, with only the faint hum of the air conditioner vents in the distance.

After a while, he felt that Sister Hong's breathing gradually became even, and she actually fell asleep on his shoulder.

She wasn't woken up.

Nearly an hour passed before she woke up. She lifted her head and opened her single eyelids, noticing a smudge of her dark red lipstick.

Lin Feng gently withdrew his hand and said, "Sister Hong, you're too tired." He blinked and said, "I'm used to it, so I don't feel that tired. I just don't know how I fell asleep when I leaned against you."

Lin Feng stood up, folded the contract, and put it in his pocket. He said he would have Kui Zi pick him up from the billiard hall tomorrow morning.

Hongjie wrapped herself in a bath towel and saw him to the door, telling him to be careful on the way. Through the light of the wall lamp in the corridor, she watched Lin Feng's figure disappear around the corner at the end of the corridor.

……

Early the next morning.

Kui Zi parked his inconspicuous black Volkswagen downstairs at Lin Feng's house.

Lin Feng opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat. Kui Zi handed him a cup of hot soy milk and two meat buns, saying that Sister Hong told him to follow Lin Feng's arrangements for the next few days.

He took a bite of the steamed bun, turned on his phone's navigation, and said that today he would first drive around Hohai University, and tomorrow he would drive around the vocational schools in the east and south of the city.

The two of them spent an entire day exploring the areas surrounding all the universities, big and small, in Hehai City.

At each school, Lin Feng would squat nearby to count the number of people and observe the students' spending habits.

He discovered that there were very few billiard halls around these schools. There was one near the north gate of Hohai University, with old facilities, dim lighting, and worn-out cue tips that no one had replaced. But even so, it was always packed after three or four in the afternoon.

The situation is even more extreme near the vocational school in the east of the city. There isn't a single billiards hall within a two-kilometer radius, so students who want to play billiards have to take a half-hour bus ride to the city center.

There are two such establishments in the South City University Town, but they are just small street-side shops with three or four tables, faded posters on the walls, and not even a proper bar.

Kui Zi, watching Lin Feng taking notes in a small notebook, couldn't help but say, "Brother Lin, you're doing market research like this."

Lin Feng closed the notebook and said it was just market research.

He said he looked around and found that the billiard hall business was almost a blank market around universities in Hehai City. The existing ones had poor facilities and services and could not meet the needs of students at all.

If you could open a billiards hall that's nicely decorated but not expensive, it would definitely be a hit.

Moreover, billiard halls are not afraid of inspections. They operate legally and legitimately, and meet fire safety and hygiene standards, so they are not afraid of whoever comes to inspect them.

Although the money doesn't come that quickly, every little bit counts!

Kui Zi thought for a moment and nodded.

Lin Feng then revealed his true idea: to open a billiards hall on the first floor and a foot massage parlor on the second floor.

Billiards and massage are naturally complementary businesses; after playing billiards for two hours, you can go upstairs for a foot bath and a massage when you're tired.

Moreover, this kind of legitimate foot massage is not afraid of being inspected. All technicians have received formal training and have all the necessary health certificates and work permits. Fire safety and hygiene standards are met to the highest level.

Kui Zi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then slapped the steering wheel and said, "Brother Lin, your idea is brilliant, absolutely brilliant."

The princesses in Baijinhai haven't been doing well lately. The gray market is too volatile, so they don't dare take on any jobs, and many of them are just staying at home.

If they could switch to a proper massage business, they would have the foundation to learn in just a few days and get started, which would be both respectable and safe.

With their methods, they could easily fool those college students.
