Chapter 62 A Small Test
What Chen Jiang wasn't really sure about was Chen Yasi's coaching skills, even though she was the owner of the gym.
But no matter what, it was still better than doing it himself, and since she was quite serious about teaching, Chen Jiang actually obediently practiced with her for more than two hours...
After they finished, the two found an empty spot to rest.
Although Chen Yasi herself doesn't exercise much, instructing beginners on fitness is actually quite physically demanding, so she had a bit of sweat on her forehead and neck.
She produced two towels from somewhere, handing one to Chen Jiang and keeping the other to wipe her sweat.
Then, without any hesitation, she plopped down opposite Chen Jiang, watching him panting and massaging his arms and legs, and asked with a smile:
"How was the experience? Not bad, right?"
Chen Jiang was really tired... Even though there was a beautiful woman sitting in front of him, and even though she looked quite sexy sweating after exercising, he couldn't help but feel weak in the knees.
So he answered listlessly:
"It's...it's alright..."
Chen Yasi, however, was not polite at all and mocked:
"You don't seem to be doing so well to me... but it's okay. Actually, most people don't have the perseverance and determination to stick to training. There are even quite a few people who sign up for many courses but only come once or twice."
"If you can't hold on, just give up. I won't laugh at you...hehe~~~"
"..."
Chen Jiang glanced at her sideways.
Her words sounded nice, but he could clearly hear her mocking him.
However, he really doesn't intend to give up, not only to improve his physical strength and endurance, but also for the sake of his health.
He used to work overtime every day, smoke, and eat all kinds of high-calorie foods. He was only able to keep going because he was not that old, but he was already in a sub-healthy state.
Now that you've made up your mind to exercise, you might as well get your physical condition back on track. It only costs a little money and time.
These are the two things he does most of now...
"Just kidding..."
Seeing that Chen Jiang didn't speak, Chen Yasi felt that she might have hit her target right away. Sensing that the atmosphere might become awkward, she decisively changed the subject.
He glanced at the time, then turned back to Chen Jiang and said:
"It's almost noon, is there anything I can help you with?"
Chen Jiang looked at her:
"Something must have come up... Are you in trouble?"
It's been over two hours, and he doesn't know if Gao Wen has finished shopping, but he guesses she'll be soon. He plans to go back and check on her later.
"It's nothing..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yasi shook her head and then said, "I was originally planning to show you some hospitality, but since you have something to do, then forget it. Pretend I didn't ask."
Chen Jiang was a little surprised:
"Want to treat me to dinner?"
"Yeah...it's a pity that Boss Chen won't give us face," Chen Yasi joked.
But actually, she had other thoughts. One was that she wanted to get to know Chen Jiang, whom she found quite agreeable, and the other was that she had been thinking all morning but hadn't found anyone who might have a relationship with Gao Wen.
But she felt that the person was probably in Shenzhen, and since Gao Wen was there to film a movie, it meant that it was very likely someone from her film crew.
She had only looked at the director of the show online, and it was obvious that even if Gao Wen was really hungry, she wouldn't like a bald, pot-bellied old man in his fifties. So the director was probably just making up an excuse for the audition.
The real people are probably the actors in that film crew...most likely the male stars...
But she didn't have any good way to find out, so she decided to ask Chen Jiang, who had taken Gao Wen to the film set before, if he had discovered anything when he took her there.
"I do have to go back at noon today... but that's fine."
Chen Jiang looked at the beautiful shop manager and, for some reason, felt something was off.
Could it be an illusion?
Why does he feel like the other person has feelings for him... or is she just outgoing, generous, and loyal to her friends, and simply wants to thank him for his support?
It should be the second one... He feels he's been having such good luck lately that he's starting to become a little narcissistic; he can't let this habit develop.
"That's fine, I'll reserve a table later."
Chen Yasi shrugged, then hesitated for a moment, deciding that she should stop wasting words and just ask what she wanted to say.
So she shifted her position and moved closer to Chen Jiang. A fragrance mixed with a hint of sweat wafted into Chen Jiang's nose, making him raise an eyebrow and look at Chen Yasi, wondering what she was up to by getting so close all of a sudden.
Chen Yasi didn't think too much about it and said in a low voice:
"Also, Chen Jiang, didn't you take Wenwen to the film set last time?"
Chen Jiang looked at her with even more curiosity. Why was he suddenly asking about this?
"What... is wrong?"
"Nothing went wrong in the middle, and I even had a cameo role."
"You even joined the film crew?"
Chen Yasi was even more surprised; he must have seen something, more or less.
However, she couldn't directly reveal Gao Wen's private matters, so after organizing her thoughts, she asked again:
"That's perfect. Do you remember, after you joined the crew, did Wenwen seem to have a good relationship with anyone... or had any close contact with them?"
"Huh?" Chen Jiang looked puzzled. "Why are you asking that?"
Chen Yasi exclaimed:
"Don't ask any more questions, just tell me!"
Chen Jiang couldn't understand what was wrong with her, and shook his head:
"I don't know... I just went in to join in the fun, who knew she was on good terms with anyone on set."
"Alright, looks like I can't count on you."
Chen Yasi made no attempt to hide her disappointment and let out a deep sigh.
Chen Jiang, however, felt that she was acting rather strangely and asked:
"You're best friends with Gao Wen, why don't you just ask her?"
"Ugh, you don't know..." Chen Yasi waved her hand irritably, "There are some things I can't tell you..."
But even if she didn't say it, Chen Jiang could guess it:
"You don't think Gao Wen is in a relationship, do you? And you're trying to get clues from me?"
These words startled Chen Yasi, who stared at him in shock.
How did you know?
"Hehe~~"
Chen Jiang smiled but didn't say anything.
Could he possibly say that he not only knew Gao Wen was in a relationship, but that his partner was none other than himself, and that he had even been pinned down on the bed and rubbed against by him last night...? But Gao Wen had already said that Chen Yasi was a big mouth, so he'd better not tell her.
Moreover, judging from the way the woman in front of him was probing so intently, Chen Jiang could tell her that if he told her the truth, he would definitely get into trouble.
"Chen Jiang, tell me the truth, do you know something?"
Chen Yasi was not stupid. She could tell something from Chen Jiang's attitude. Without being polite, she came up to him, put one hand on Chen Jiang's thigh, and put her face close to his face, staring straight at him, trying to force some information out of him.
