40: Chapter 40 Zhang Tong's Little Thoughts

At two in the afternoon, Jiang Li released Yuan Yan's hair.

Yuan Yan evidently hadn't experienced this method of sparring before; lying in Jiang Li's arms, she couldn't help but cough a few times.

After catching her breath, she curled into Jiang Li's arms, soft and limp like a little kitten.

Before long, her breathing gradually steadied…

Jiang Li looked down at Yuan Yan and couldn't help but sigh; the two of them had truly been a bit wild just now.

Even now, her lips still had that plump, pouty look.

If his health stat hadn't skyrocketed, who knows who would have surrendered first today!

He gently picked Yuan Yan up, carried her into the bedroom, placed her on the bed, and pulled the quilt over her.

Yuan Yan turned over, mumbled something unintelligible in her sleep, and her brows relaxed.

Jiang Li stood by the bedside for two seconds and couldn't help but chuckle.

This woman, two or three years his senior, was usually gentle and intellectual, but after drinking, she became so candid it tugged at his heartstrings.

Even with her period, she had managed to unlock a new position…

This woman really went all out for him.

Jiang Li shook his head, quietly closed the door, changed into sportswear, grabbed his car keys, and headed out…

He had already posted on Little Red Book for the shop today, and since no customers were asking about anything for the moment, he couldn't be bothered to go over.

Ever since he got the system, Jiang Li's perspective had been improving faster and faster.

He currently had two businesses under his name: a luxury goods rental shop and the Cheyou Car Dealership.

Although the luxury goods shop had stable profits, its scale was limited; at most, it only did twenty or thirty transactions a month.

But the Cheyou Car Dealership was different; just the cars parked in the showroom were worth around ten million.

Based on his experience in the luxury industry, most of the cars at the Car Dealership, just like luxury bags, were financed.

Generally, the actual equity in the cars at the Car Dealership was only thirty to fifty percent, with the rest being financial leverage.

In other words, out of ten million in car value, at most only five or six million was solid assets.

After deducting the loans, the net assets the Cheyou Car Dealership brought him were at least four million.

Four million!

A month ago, he wouldn't have even dared to imagine this.

And all of this was merely the reward for completing ten transactions.

The more Jiang Li thought about it, the more he felt that to make money quickly, he certainly couldn't put all his energy into that initial small shop.

Completing system tasks and unlocking more industries offered the best return on investment.

Take the Car Dealership for example; the system had already issued a new task.

Complete ten Car Dealership transactions to be rewarded with top-tier driving skills, plus the unlocking of a new industry.

One Car Dealership was worth four million; what would the next industry be?

Just thinking about it made his heart race…

After arranging a time with Zhang Tong on his phone, Jiang Li drove the yangwang u8 to the Gym.

After a few days of system-assisted training, his health stat had reached 63 points.

This level of physical fitness already surpassed most ordinary people.

The most intuitive change was that the fat around his waist had completely disappeared.

While waiting at a red light, Jiang Li couldn't help but lift the hem of his T-shirt to take a look.

Although there were no obvious abdominal muscles, his waistline had tightened, and the outlines of muscles were faintly visible on both sides.

At this rate, in a few more days, he would have a lean, muscular physique.

"The system is awesome," Jiang Li exclaimed sincerely.

Before long, Jiang Li arrived downstairs at the Gym.

"Brother Jiang Li, you're here?"

Zhang Tong had been waiting at the entrance early on; when she saw him, she beamed, her eyes curving into crescent moons.

"Why so early? Even faster than me," Jiang Li said, somewhat surprised.

He remembered that Zhang Tong worked part-time and was usually only there in the mornings.

It had to take at least half an hour to bike over from Chengnan University, right?

"Were you waiting for me?"

"No way~ I just happened to be working overtime." Zhang Tong's face flushed slightly, and she hurriedly shook her head, carrying that unique naivety of a college student, afraid that Jiang Li might feel awkward.

In reality, she felt Jiang Li hadn't arrived yet today, so she specifically waited here without leaving…

After spending the last few days together, Zhang Tong's favorable impression of Jiang Li had grown more and more.

Having been single since birth for twenty years, this was the first time she had met someone so self-disciplined and motivated.

He drove a yangwang u8 worth over a million but never flaunted his wealth, and he never slacked off during daily training.

More importantly, Jiang Li was completely different from other members.

Those male members who bought classes would constantly send her WeChat messages, finding all sorts of excuses to get close to her.

Only Jiang Li never bothered her after work hours.

This point made her think even more that Jiang Li was a good person.

With thoughts like these, and brainwashing from her roommates, Zhang Tong had even specifically dressed up a little today.

A white sports tank top paired with dark gray yoga pants, her ponytail tied neatly and cleanly; the neckline of the tank top vaguely revealed a hint of cleavage, a bit alluring but not vulgar, giving her an overall incredibly cool and chic vibe.

"Brother Jiang, let's head up!" Zhang Tong made a gesture of invitation, flicked her ponytail, and walked toward the strength training area on the second floor first.

Once on the second floor, they continued with strength training.

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Zhang Tong felt that Jiang Li's physique seemed to improve every day; the more she looked at him, the more handsome he became, and the more pleasing he was to her eyes.

His physique was much more balanced than when she had first started training him.

His shoulders had also broadened, and when his arms moved, one could faintly see muscle lines sliding beneath his skin.

If it weren't for the reserve of a college student deep in her bones, she would have wanted to reach out and touch him.

No… no, no!

Zhang Tong shook her head wildly in her heart.

I can't let Brother Jiang think I'm a thirsty pervert!

But she still couldn't help thinking, if only she could keep getting along with Jiang Li like this forever.

Training together every day, and after training, having a fat-loss meal together…

Wouldn't life be sweet then?

Maybe she could even bear Jiang Li a handsome son!

On Jiang Li's side, it was a completely different experience.

In previous training sessions, he could clearly feel that Zhang Tong would deliberately keep some distance.

When doing bench presses, her hands would only hover under the barbell, and her body was at least a fist's distance away from him.

But today seemed a bit different.

Zhang Tong's chest would often unintentionally brush against his arms.

Although it was a fleeting touch each time, there were just too many occurrences.

It left Jiang Li feeling distracted and restless.

It could only be said that the enhancement from the system was too powerful.

After his kidneys were strengthened, his sensitivity to this kind of touch skyrocketed.

If it were Wang Yaoyao instead of Zhang Tong, he would probably already be dragging her downstairs to the car by now…

However, Jiang Li didn't think too much of it, just assuming that since they had known each other for a while, Zhang Tong didn't care as much about these details anymore.

After all, more contact between a coach and a student was normal.

After doing a few more sets of bench presses and dumbbell flies, Jiang Li put down the equipment and stretched his shoulders.

He had been following this training plan for several days; when he first started, he would be panting uncontrollably after just one set, but now, after completing the whole routine, he had only broken a light sweat.

"Brother Jiang, what's wrong?" Zhang Tong saw him stop and hurriedly handed him a towel.

"I feel like my physical fitness is improving too quickly." Jiang Li took the towel to wipe his sweat and said honestly, "This training doesn't really stimulate me anymore; I want to increase the intensity."

Zhang Tong's eyes lit up instantly.

Increase training intensity?

Finally, it was her domain!

She was a sports major, after all; her specialty was athletic training, and when it came to physical endurance, she really hadn't feared anyone.

The plan she had arranged for Jiang Li before was just the basic adaptation period; she hadn't even brought out her true devilish training yet!

"Sure, Brother Jiang! Then let's increase the volume today!" Zhang Tong agreed immediately, her eyes shining.

She had already started calculating her perfect plan in her heart:

First, train Jiang Li until he reached exhaustion, making him so tired he couldn't even hold his chopsticks steady.

Then she would pretend to unintentionally say, "Brother Jiang, you're so tired today, just eat the meal I made," logically and naturally luring him off to eat!

Maybe she could even help Jiang Li home!

The more Zhang Tong thought about it, the more she felt this plan was foolproof.

She was a sports major; could she really be crushed by Jiang Li in terms of physical stamina?
