Chapter 10 The Cheapskate Drinks Cold Water

The princess in trouble was prepared for danger in times of peace, and decided to save money and live on food and clothing. She didn't even let a taxi stop her when she went out, and dragged him directly to the bus stop.

Lu Yuanfei: "...doesn't need to be like this?"

He can't be considered extravagant when he spends money, but he can't bear to be penny-pinching either.

Investment failure is the biggest waste. In fact, there is no need to be too frugal in life.

Xia Yun, on the other hand, insisted on his own opinion, thinking that what he saves is what he earns. He proudly raised his phone and said, "I found that online shopping is more economical, Brother Lu, let's buy things online from now on."

Lu Yuanfei chuckled and didn't comment.

If you want to save money by online shopping, I think you are looking for the sky.

It's not easy to gossip in public, so Lu Yuanfei could only follow him on the bus.

It takes half an hour for the bus to drive for a 10-minute drive. He is bored looking at the street scene, while the little coach frowns and flips through the training materials.

In the future, if you have time, you must hold this kid by his ear and explain to him the concept of time cost.

Huangshi Fitness is located on the sixth floor of the complex "Rongding Tiansheng", facing the cinema. The wide floor-to-ceiling glass separates the independent space. Through the glass, moviegoers often see athletes sweating profusely inside.

In the past, this also attracted many fitness rookies to come to apply for the card. Now the gym is closed, the glass is covered with a layer of dust, and the movie theater is still full of people.

Xia Yun was curious everywhere, so he ran to the entrance of the movie theater and looked around, secretly marveling at the huge poster.

Lu Yuanfei unlocked the door and turned on all the lights first. The gym covering an area of ​​[-] square meters was brightly lit. Since the operation time is not long, most of the equipment is new. It can be opened after staffing and cleaning up.

There is also a straight ladder at the back dedicated to the gym, from the basement to the front hall.

I have to say that although the original boss is a thief, the business line is crooked. The biggest benefit of the gym is created by impulsive consumers who have signed up for the card but don't come to exercise, so he doesn't care about discounts. Anyway, the complex has a lot of traffic, and the leek is cut There is one more stubble.

It's just that the ability to resist risks is too poor. Xia Yunze's accident caused the gym to go down the street immediately, and he was carrying a lot of bad debts. The price transferred by the old boss may not be enough to offset his investment.

It is currently the most basic to recruit front desk financial coaches and cleaners, and other positions will be recruited after turning losses into profits.

While observing various equipment, Xia Yun poked the phone like lightning, searching for how to use it on the spot.

In order to pretend to be an expert, he also resorted to prehistoric power.

Manager Xu from the opposite movie theater ran over and shouted in surprise, "Xiao Xia, are you alright?!"

Xia Yun didn't know him, but he was obviously an old friend, so he gave a vague "um" and subconsciously hid behind Lu Yuanfei.

"You still owe me eight lessons!" Manager Xu punched him on the chest, familiar with him, Xia Yun coughed awkwardly, and quickly changed the subject: "This is my new boss, Brother Lu, have you met him?" ?”

"Mr. Lu, it's a pleasure to meet you." Manager Xu shook hands with him with a smile, and praised: "I didn't expect Mr. Lu to be so young and handsome. His surname is Xu. We will be neighbors in the future. Please take care of us!"

"Manager Xu, it's a pleasure to meet you." Lu Yuanfei has always taken a calm and sophisticated approach in front of strangers. He has a strong aura and cherishes words like gold, making people feel embarrassed to chatter. Manager Xu exchanged a few words with Xia Yunze, and said goodbye and went back to the movie theater. went.

As an unfamiliar paratrooper pretending to be familiar, Xia Yunze acted like an idiot the whole time. Luckily, Manager Liu came to find him, so that he no longer had to bear the suspicious eyes of his boss.

As soon as Manager Liu came in, he clicked tut tut, touched here and there, got a hand full of dust, and boldly patted Boss Lu on the shoulder, and sighed: "I didn't expect your gym to be so big. I said, you are so big!" Boss, change to a C-class car to match your worth!"

"Haven't you heard a word?" Lu Yuanfei talked a little more in front of acquaintances, but it was limited, "The bosses are all poor."

Xia Yun nodded fiercely beside him, indicating that what he said was indeed a wise saying.

Manager Liu sneered: "Why cry in front of wage earners like me?"

Every family has hard-to-read scriptures, the industry is in a downturn, sales are not increasing, the manager is anxious, and his hair is falling out.

Xia Yun has only a half-knowledge of the economic situation, but he understands that the reason for crying poor is to bargain.

He took out the price list from his backpack and sincerely suggested: "If Brother Liu doesn't exercise often, get a half-year card to get used to it. It only costs 998 for half a year. I can also give you two sessions of one-on-one guidance. Usually I The classes are all three hundred and one classes without discount!"

Manager Liu hissed in pain, and said, "Don't lie to me, the annual card for Yongtai Fitness is only 998, and they even have a swimming pool."

Xia Yun didn't expect that he would move out a competitor to suppress him, so he was at a loss for words. Fortunately, the boss came to the rescue. Before taking over, Lu Yuanfei had checked all the nearby gyms, and took the conversation lightly: "The one on Fuyang Road? They The disinfection of the swimming pool is not up to standard, and E. coli and urea in every sampling test exceed the standard.”

Manager Liu was dying, and dragged out another family: "Jinlan Fitness is not expensive, and parking is free."

Lu Yuanfei called out the news on his mobile phone and confronted him: "The private trainer tore the student's ligament, and the boss refused to compensate."

Manager Liu was speechless, and it took him a while to say: "Every line is like a mountain..."

360 lines, there is a shady scene in every line, being a consumer is really weak, pitiful and helpless.

Xia Yunze was finally able to intervene, and said attentively: "So it's still reliable to know the basics, and besides, Brother Lu will repair cars in your shop in the future, so I can't cheat anyone if I cheat you."

Lu Yuanfei raised his eyebrows, inexplicably feeling a little pain in his knees.

Manager Liu also didn't want to offend this repeat customer who had a lot of money, so he cheered up and bargained with Boss Lu: "It's cheaper, and I'll give you a [-]% discount on the labor cost of car repairs in the future."

Xia Yun showed a pained expression like cutting flesh, and said, "988 can't be less!"

"Ten yuan!" Manager Liu yelled strangely, feeling that he had suffered a great shame in the history of bargaining.

Xia Yun refused to give up an inch of land, only willing to release water: "Buy ten private lessons and get one free."

"I don't buy lessons!" Manager Liu was about to laugh angrily at him. Not only was he stingy, but he also tried to sell his face. Did he think he was a fish in water?

Xia Yun chuckled, and passed on the knowledge he just acquired to Manager Liu: "Exercise prevents hair loss."

Manager Liu was hit in the heart, and his head fell off into the Mediterranean Sea, reluctantly took out his mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay.

Xia Yun didn't know how to use a computer, so Lu Yuanfei had to slowly type out the invoice, saying, "We need to recruit a front desk as soon as possible."

Manager Liu took the card, turned around and went to the opposite movie theater to contribute to the box office, Xia Yun was sour and jealous, and said, "I don't give me ten yuan, and the movie ticket on the opposite side costs eighty!"

"Look, he also buys popcorn! I saw it just now, and it costs 20 yuan for a small bucket!"

"That drink is ten yuan a cup, why don't you grab it?"

The golden and jade-noble young man was once reduced to a social animal, quickly lost his morals, and bent his waist for ten yuan.

Lu Yuanfei was annoyed by his reading, so he went to the opposite side and bought the largest bucket of popcorn and a glass of Coke and put them in front of him, signaling him to eat more and talk less.

Xia Yun muttered a few words, don't waste money, but his eyes sparkled, he held a piece of popcorn into his mouth with restraint, frowned, and thanked him shyly.

Lu Yuanfei took the straw and smacked his upturned orchid finger. It didn't hurt, but it made people feel very embarrassed.

With a blushing face, Xia Yun snatched the straw, inserted it into the cup and took a sip, feeling a surge of excitement rushing to his forehead, more overbearing than swallowing ice cream.

The iced Coke slid down his esophagus, he let out a long belch and smiled happily.
