Chapter 41: Fitness Guidance
Hearing someone talking to her, Qin Yuenan turned down the volume in her headphones and looked over with a puzzled expression.
“What did you say?”
“I was asking if I could use the treadmill next to you?”
“Sure.”
Qin Yuenan replied casually, but the man’s purpose clearly wasn’t running.
“I’ve been seeing you at the gym regularly lately. Which company are you with?”
The middle-aged man smiled and introduced himself.
“I’m Song Zheng, recently appointed as Regional President of KeDian South China.”
Huamao Tower wasn’t just home to PetCare—many other companies were also located in this office building.
Therefore, the fourth-floor gym often had people from other companies, and everyone was familiar with Qin Yuenan.
Even though her figure and looks were among the absolute top tier of women, few people tried to hit on her.
The last one was Lin Shen.
Faced with the ill-intentioned Song Zheng, Qin Yuenan didn’t even want to acknowledge him, which made him quite embarrassed.
At that moment, Lin Shen walked over and joked.
“Hello, beautiful.”
Since the music in her headphones was quite loud, Qin Yuenan initially couldn’t distinguish Lin Shen’s voice and thought Song Zheng was being persistent.
So she directly grabbed her towel, planning to leave. With a glance, she spotted that familiar figure she’d been thinking about.
“Lin Shen?”
“Could you guide me through some equipment exercises?”
Lin Shen pointed behind him toward the fitness area. Seeing this, Qin Yuenan immediately nodded without hesitation.
“Sure.”
Watching Lin Shen invite Qin Yuenan away, Song Zheng was completely dumbfounded.
Was that even allowed?
Although from Lin Shen and Qin Yuenan’s conversation he could tell they probably knew each other, Song Zheng still felt frustrated.
After all, someone like him who could reach president level in his thirties definitely wasn’t lacking female company, and most of the time it was women approaching him.
If it weren’t for Qin Yuenan’s exceptionally outstanding figure and looks, Song Zheng wouldn’t have swallowed his pride like this.
Today was his first time taking initiative, and he got completely shut down.
Sigh!
Song Zheng watched with envy and jealousy as Qin Yuenan’s swaying, sexy silhouette was hard to look away from.
Only men understood how appealing this type of healthy, athletic figure could be.
That graceful and curvaceous body would probably be quite something in bed too.
This guy was really lucky!
Being handsome really was an advantage.
“What have you been up to lately?”
After reaching the fitness area, Qin Yuenan wiped her sweat with a towel while questioning him. Her tone wasn’t as cold as usual, but was filled with resentment and a subtle hint of jealousy she herself hadn’t noticed.
“Got back together with your ex?”
“Would I be that pathetic?”
Lin Shen was somewhat speechless, then made up an excuse.
“I’ve been considering starting a business lately.”
“Starting a business?”
Qin Yuenan frowned slightly.
“What kind of business?”
“Pet industry.”
Lin Shen sat on the pec fly machine and selected 10kg weights to start chest flies.
“After all, that’s my area of expertise.”
“Then you should know this industry isn’t easy.”
Qin Yuenan asked seriously.
“Besides, where would you get the money to start a business?”
“That’s none of your concern.”
Lin Shen knew Qin Yuenan was worried about him. After all, the current startup environment was particularly harsh, and most market share had already been claimed by the big players.
To snatch some market share from those big shots’ territory, you’d have to find a different approach!
Lin Shen already had a rough plan, but it was still in its embryonic, unformed stage.
He needed to find time to sit down and carefully think about how to use the industry funds obtained from [Dede] to maximize benefits.
But definitely not now.
“Do you think my form is correct?”
After doing two sets of ten chest flies, Lin Shen still felt pretty relaxed, so he decided to try increasing to 15kg.
Seeing this, Qin Yuenan supported his shoulders and back, adjusting his posture.
“Chest out, head up, eyes forward, sit up straight.”
“Got it.”
Lin Shen took a deep breath, held it, and continued with chest flies. After doing two more sets, he finally couldn’t help but relax and breathe heavily.
“So tiring!”
“Are you planning to work on chest?”
Qin Yuenan didn’t mind at all and put her towel over Lin Shen’s head.
“For chest work, it’s better to start with dumbbells.”
“At home I alternate between push-ups and dumbbells.”
Lin Shen used Qin Yuenan’s towel to wipe his sweat, and a faint, pleasant fragrance made him silently appreciate it.
Smells good!
“I mainly want to work on chest and abs.”
“Figured as much.”
Qin Yuenan seemed to have anticipated what Lin Shen would say, then made a sharp comment.
“Lots of guys only work chest and abs, just like how women only work glutes. It’s weird.”
“You’ve got to start somewhere.”
Lin Shen looked Qin Yuenan up and down, finally focusing on her exceptionally dramatic waist-to-hip ratio.
Her slender waist with defined abs and the curves that suddenly flared out at her hips created perfect lines, combining health and sexiness.
Lin Shen couldn’t help but retort.
“Besides, didn’t you work on your glutes too?”
“I work other areas too.”
Qin Yuenan said seriously.
“But you’re right—for beginners, it’s good to focus on just two muscle groups.”
“Then I’ll trouble Coach Qin to guide me.”
Lin Shen grinned playfully, his silly expression instantly lightening the atmosphere and making Qin Yuenan unconsciously curve her lips upward.
“Fine, but I don’t teach for free. Remember to buy me dinner tonight.”
“No problem.”
And so, under Qin Yuenan’s guidance, Lin Shen began focusing on training these two muscle groups—chest and abs.
Having previously done push-ups and sit-ups at home, his adaptability and muscle endurance were much stronger than a complete beginner’s.
Plus having a cold and aloof beauty supervising and guiding him nearby sparked a competitive spirit in Lin Shen that refused to give up.
After all, a man could never say he couldn’t do it!
“I can’t do anymore!”
Half an hour later.
Lin Shen sat on the knee raise machine breathing heavily, elbows on his thighs, bent over with his head down—he felt completely drained.
Seeing this, Qin Yuenan walked over and thoughtfully massaged his shoulders and arms to rel
