Actually, Wang Dawei did mean well, but his good intentions had selfish motives. He hoped that Meng Yuyu would refocus on her work and contribute to the fitness center’s profits, thereby increasing his own income as a result.
“If that’s the case, then I can only stick to the rules.”
Wang Dawei said with a serious face, “From now on, you are suspended. Both your basic salary and commissions will stop, and if any members cancel their classes resulting in losses, you’ll have to bear the cost!”
Upon hearing this, Meng Yuyu’s eyebrows twitched. She could understand stopping her base salary and commissions, but expecting her to bear the losses if members cancels classes seemed excessive. After all, she had only received a small part of the commission from selling the classes; most of the revenue belonged to the studio.
“Understood.”
Meng Yuyu nodded calmly, without showing any emotion.
She was smart and knew she had no leverage at the moment, so opposing would be pointless. It would be better to stay non-committal for now. If members really did cancel their classes, she would deal with it then. After all, the money was in her own pocket, and it wouldn’t be easy to make her give it back.
Wang Dawei had intended to use this incident to put some pressure on Meng Yuyu, but to his surprise, she was firm in her attitude.
Stupid woman, you’ll regret this one day!
Wang Dawei mocked silently in his mind. After Meng Yuyu left, he made a call to the front desk and summoned Yu Lili to his office: “Lili, you’re close to Meng Yuyu, aren’t you? What’s her situation?”
“I’m not entirely sure, but it seems Yang bought her a Mercedes,” Yu Lili said, spreading her hands.
“A Mercedes?”
“Damn!!”
Wang Dawei couldn’t help but be impressed. No wonder she was so resolute—she really had latched onto a golden ticket!
The news that Yang Hao had bought Meng Yuyu a Mercedes quickly spread through the fitness center…
“Xinyi, I’m not trying to sow discord, but Yang was clearly interested in you, and now Meng Yuyu has stolen him away.”
In the break room, Sun Xinyi was standing by the water dispenser, filling up her glass after a class.
Zhou Ling quietly murmured into her ear while she was pouring water. Zhou Ling didn’t have any bad intentions—she just found the gossip too juicy to resist.
Sun Xinyi had heard about Yang Hao buying Meng Yuyu a Mercedes when she was upstairs.
Naturally, she felt out of sorts. Just like Zhou Ling said, Yang was obviously interested in her, but because he was divorced with a child, she hesitated, which gave Meng Yuyu an opportunity.
Now, she felt like fortune had brushed past her. She suddenly remembered the advice of her close friend “Li”: Opportunities to cross social classes are rare. Seize them well!
…
Mira Western Restaurant.
Liu Zifeng and his girlfriend, Feng Lina, had already arrived.
In addition to the couple, Feng Lina’s cousin, Guan Mengmeng, was also there.
“Feng, is your friend really divorced, with a child, and as old as you?”
The question came from Guan Mengmeng, who rested her cheek on one hand and looked thoughtfully at Liu Zifeng.
“Cousin, mind your manners!”
“What do you mean ‘as old as me’? Am I really that old?!” Liu Zifeng retorted unhappily.
“Err, I mean as mature as you,”
Guan Mengmeng blinked her large eyes, choosing a different word.
“He and I are the same age, good brothers for over thirty years,” Liu Zifeng said.
“Hmm, that’s good!”
Guan Mengmeng nodded her head in satisfaction, showing a radiant smile.
“Mengmeng, are you trying to send your old aunt to the ICU?”
“Having you find a boyfriend is for your own good!”
Feng Lina, already aware of her cousin’s plan, looked speechless. Her cousin, 98 pounds with a rebellious streak of 99 pounds, was all about defiance.
Recently, her family had been pushing her to go match-making and find a partner, which annoyed her greatly. Upon learning that Liu Zifeng had a friend who was divorced with a child, as well as being poor and old, she planned to bring him back to show her parents, implying: “You want me to find a man, don’t you? Well, I found one for you!”
“Mengmeng, if you’re just using my brother as a shield, I’m not okay with that!”
Liu Zifeng originally planned to set up his pretty cousin with his brother as a favor but realized she had this mindset.
“Don’t worry, I won’t force him!”
“Just watch how I handle him later.” Guan Mengmeng laughed, sticking out her tongue playfully and then complained about her parents, “They wouldn’t let me date while I was studying, and now they’re rushing me to go match-making after graduating from college. Hmph, as if I would be so compliant!”
No sooner had she finished speaking than the door to the private room was pushed open.
A tall man in a casual suit walked in.
“Hao, you’ve finally arrived!”
Liu Zifeng stood up with a smile and embraced Yang Hao, as the two brothers hadn’t seen each other in a long time.
“It’s supposed to be 1:30, right? I don’t think I’m late,”
Yang Hao had timed it perfectly; he entered the restaurant at 1:15, arriving a good fifteen minutes early.
“You’re not late, but there’s a beauty here,”
“My girlfriend, Feng Lina.”
“And her cousin, Guan Mengmeng!” Liu Zifeng introduced them.
Yang had thought that the ‘beauty’ his old friend mentioned might be some woman from a bar, and he didn’t take it to heart. Now that he saw Guan Mengmeng, he was a bit taken aback.
This young lady was the sweet and girly type, not too tall, around 162 cm, but with a high level of attractiveness and a good figure, particularly accentuating her feminine features—she was the type that could offer both a fun companion to her husband and be adored by children.

While Yang Hao was appraising Guan Mengmeng, she was also sizing him up.
She was somewhat disappointed. Not that Yang Hao was unsightly—on the contrary, despite the fact he was divorced with a child, poor and older, he didn’t seem old at all and even carried a successful man’s vibe.
