Chapter 4: 50 Yuan Received
Zhou Lang slept soundly until noon.
Today is Saturday, and he's not going to the company. Wu Daxing and Tian Wenming haven't dared to call him again to urge him to work overtime.
The first thing Zhou Lang did upon opening his eyes was to open the China Merchants Bank app and stare intently at his bank balance.
504000 yuan.
This card is his subsidy card. After receiving the money each month, he will immediately transfer it to his Alipay Yu'ebao account.
Therefore, there are no other deposits in the card, only the 500,000 yuan that arrived yesterday.
It's not a dream; his money-power system truly exists.
In addition, Zhou Lang also acquired a gym for no reason.
He forwarded the electronically signed agreement to a childhood friend who works in the legal profession for review.
Not long after, my friend finished checking the license plate and replied: No problem.
"Let's have a meal, and in the afternoon I'll go to the gym to check on my businesses."
Although Zhou Lang still felt a bit confused and unreal.
But then think about the balance in your card.
Yes, that little bit of doubt vanished instantly.
"Five hundred thousand..." Zhou Lang sighed slightly.
The system estimates that the gym's annual profit is only two to three hundred thousand.
However, thanks to the pre-paid business model prevalent in the fitness industry, a new venue can generate a large amount of revenue as soon as it opens by offering discounts for pre-paid memberships, selling annual cards, and selling personal training sessions.
This money became an "unexpected gain," and it all ended up in Zhou Lang's pocket.
With 50 yuan in savings as a safety net, he can manage his time and actions, whether he resigns or not.
Zhou Lang recalled that during his university years, he once boasted with youthful arrogance, confidently believing that earning an annual salary of hundreds of thousands or even millions after graduation would be as easy as eating and drinking.
50 is not a lot.
It's only enough for a 30% down payment on a high-quality single-level apartment in Shushui City; only enough to buy a Mercedes-Benz E300L luxury version in full; only enough for Wu Wenming's annual salary for two and a half years.
50 is not a small amount.
It was enough for Zhou Lang to buy two three-bedroom apartments in his hometown; enough to buy 10 Wuling Hongguang Mini cars strung together like a train; enough for Zhou Lang to save for 91 months, almost eight years, without eating or drinking.
For an ordinary, young and ambitious person.
Before getting a job, they were ambitious but lacked practical skills, and generally looked down on a mere 500,000.
After being brutally beaten at work, he will never underestimate a six-figure bank account again.
……
Riding my little electric scooter, a gentle breeze caressed my face, and the spring air was wonderful.
Zhou Lang arrived at the Jianeng Swimming and Fitness Center, explained to the receptionist that he was looking for Ms. Momo.
A short while later, Momo appeared before Zhou Lang, wearing a light pink sports bra and black yoga pants, with a towel draped over her shoulders. She looked like she had just finished practicing and her steps were slightly hurried.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, nice to meet you."
Momo was slender and about 30 years old. She bowed slightly, embarrassed, and said, "I didn't know you were coming. I'll go change my clothes."
Zhou Lang waved his hand: "It's nothing, you go about your business. I just came to take a look and maybe get some exercise."
"Yes, Mr. Zhou, this way please. Let me give you a brief introduction."
This gym has three floors, two swimming pools, and relatively complete fitness facilities.
"As you know, Shushui City is a fourth-tier city, so the competition isn't too fierce. In the Economic Development Zone, we're the only one with a standard 50-meter swimming pool, so our customer base is relatively stable."
Zhou Lang casually asked Momo a few more questions. She was a hired professional manager and the person in charge of all affairs of the venue.
As for the original behind-the-scenes investor, it was someone else entirely.
After chatting for a while, Momo suggested to Zhou Lang, "Sitting in the office all day, some high-intensity training isn't suitable for you. Why don't you start by trying hill climbing?"
Zhou Lang listened to her, and the two went to a treadmill. Momo set the incline to 6% and the speed to 3.5 km/h.
Slow-paced walking is a low-impact, low-speed aerobic exercise that puts less strain on the body, making it suitable for working people like him with no prior experience.
When Zhou Lang stepped onto the treadmill's drive belt, the system unexpectedly displayed another notification.
[Special Building: Swimming and Gymnasium, currently in effect.]
[Your health status has been flagged for the following risk factors: allergic rhinitis, lumbar muscle strain, mild hypertension, moderate depression and anxiety, tenosynovitis, dry eye syndrome, and reflux pharyngitis.]
Swimming and gym workouts can improve your health. After 30 minutes of exercise, the aforementioned risk factors will be quickly eliminated.
Zhou Lang read the system notification several times in his mind.
"The effect is that powerful?"
A short half-hour walk cured minor ailments and eliminated all serious illnesses without medication?
To be honest, when Zhou Lang chose the "money power" option last night, he didn't even notice the "improve health" option...
In retrospect, the value of this amazing effect is no less than that of half a million dollars and the gym itself.
After completing a set of uphill climbs, Zhou Lang wiped his sweat and subconsciously pinched his Adam's apple.
Previously, Zhou Lang did experience mild symptoms such as acid reflux, heartburn, a feeling of something stuck in his throat, unbearable itching in his nose, and lower back pain.
We're like poor, overworked oxen, constantly sick from working. The health risk warnings from the system are numerous and varied, like a Khan's grand military review.
And now—all those little problems are actually gone!
comfortable!
With his body in top health, Zhou Lang was in a great mood.
"This system is really reliable!"
The first cash-generating ability has a simple task that rewards a stable source of income and a "golden finger" for adjusting and improving one's health.
It's like having a cheat code for life, like having a cheat code activated.
"Money power is refreshed monthly."
Zhou Lang began to secretly anticipate what surprises his newfound financial power would bring him next month.
……
Two days on the weekend, a rare complete two-day weekend.
Zhou Langjian works out and watches videos, and can't help but sigh that days without overtime are the best days.
Monday, feeling refreshed, I went to the office.
Although he was prepared to resign, Zhou Lang's sense of responsibility wouldn't allow him to shirk his duties.
At the very least, the work should be handed over properly, so as not to leave any hidden dangers or pitfalls for Xiao Huang and Xiao Liu.
We arrived at Feichi Power Technology Company at 8:30 a.m.
Zhou Lang had already mentally prepared himself for the fact that getting into a fight would likely lead to prejudice and gossip among his colleagues.
To his surprise, all the colleagues he encountered along the way greeted him with sincere smiles.
He had just sat down at his workstation when Michelle sent him a message.
[Michelle]: Good buddy~
[Michelle]: I can't parallel park again, can you help me?
He went downstairs to the parking area, where Michelle was sitting in her BYD Qin, one hand on the car frame, looking very distressed.
Zhou Lang approached with a cheerful smile and joked, "Hello, Master, your license plate ends in 1668. Going to the University Town."
Michelle's captivating eyes widened: "Zhou Lang! I'll kill you!"
Lies never hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife. She was indeed mistaken for a ride-hailing driver when she drove this car, and someone even forcefully pulled on her back door handle…
She got out, Zhou Lang got in, and they parked the car in no time.
Having a car is indeed convenient.
Zhou Lang stared at the "Qin" logo on the steering wheel, lost in thought.
"Michelle, you have a holiday for May Day, come with me to pick out a car."
"Okay, sure." Michelle agreed without hesitation, then asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to buy a car?"
"Before, I only went between my rented apartment and the company, and my electric scooter was enough."
Zhou Lang shrugged and laughed, "Whether Tian Wenming from Goucao transfers me to the Yuanjiang County factory or I resign, I'll need a car."
