Chapter 315: Chapter 203: Jiang Yixia and Lu Fan’s Blind Date?! It’s Settled?

"That’s what I was thinking, too. As long as Xiaojiang’s service quality doesn’t drop, I can accept a slightly higher price," Boss Liu nodded in agreement. "And if we can get a discount on our supply costs on top of that, even better."

Jiali smiled and picked up her teacup. "Then I’d like to thank you all. I’ll have Xiaojiang treat you to dinner to show his appreciation."

After leaving the teahouse, Jiali stood on the street corner and took out her phone to call Lu Fan.

"Boss, it’s settled. All three of them have agreed to continue working with Sifan." There was a smile in Jiali’s voice. "I brought up the discount on supply costs, just as you suggested, and they were all very pleased."

Lu Fan gave a satisfied "mm-hmm" and nodded. "As for Sifan, you don’t need to tell him the details. Let him slowly realize it for himself."

"Understood," Jiali replied.

After hanging up, she dialed Jiang Sifan.

"Sifan, I’ve spoken with those bosses. They’ve agreed to continue working with you," Jiali said, a smile in her voice.

Jiang Sifan was stunned for a moment, then asked in pleasant surprise, "Really? Sister Jiali, how did you do it?"

Jiali laughed. "I just reasoned with them a little and helped them secure some other discounts. Don’t worry about it. Just focus on doing good work."

Jiang Sifan was silent for a few seconds before saying earnestly, "Sister Jiali, thank you."

"Don’t mention it. You’re my friend; of course I’d help you," Jiali reminded him. "But Sifan, this is only temporary. That guy, Xu Junjie, won’t give up so easily. You need to be prepared to deal with him long-term."

After hearing this, Jiang Sifan’s heart grew heavy. "I understand, Sister Jiali. I’ll continue to provide excellent service and make sure the clients want to stay for that reason alone."

Jiali smiled, satisfied. "That’s the spirit. Alright, I’ll let you get back to it. Call me if you need anything else."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Sifan stood in the hallway outside the training room, gazing at the scenery in the distance, his heart a mix of complicated emotions.

He didn’t know how Jiali had managed to persuade those bosses, but he knew this was all thanks to her.

’Once I’m done dealing with Xu Junjie, I have to find a chance to treat her to a proper meal.’ He took a deep breath, turned, and got back to work.

「Meanwhile, in Yangcheng.」

Jiang Yixia had a flower delivery order today. The address was a newly opened fitness center in the city district.

She rode her electric scooter, following the GPS. When she arrived at the location and looked up, she froze.

"Extreme Power Fitness Center"

’Isn’t this where Jiang Ming works?’

She stood at the entrance, looking at the three-story building with its all-glass curtain wall facade.

Through the glass, she could see rows of fitness equipment and people in athletic wear walking about.

Jiang Yixia was a little surprised.

She knew Lu Fan had found a job for Jiang Ming, but she never imagined it would be a place this big.

Carrying the flower basket, she walked inside. A young woman at the front desk greeted her enthusiastically, asking with a smile, "Hello, are you here for a flower delivery?"

Jiang Yixia nodded and gave the recipient’s name.

The young woman checked her list and pointed upstairs. "They’re on the second floor. You can go right on up."

Jiang Yixia went up to the second floor. Just as she rounded a corner, she saw Jiang Ming standing by a row of treadmills, talking to a member in athletic gear.

He was wearing a dark blue uniform with a "Manager" name tag pinned to his chest. He really looked the part.

"Jiang Ming," Jiang Yixia called out.

Jiang Ming turned around. When he saw her, his eyes widened in pleasant surprise. "Sis? What are you doing here?"

Jiang Yixia gestured with the flower basket, her tone casual. "Making a delivery. I was just in the area."

Jiang Ming hurried over, took the flower basket with a smile, and said, "Sis, this is your first time here, isn’t it? Come on, let me give you a tour."

Jiang Yixia wanted to refuse, but seeing how excited he was, she didn’t have the heart to burst his bubble and followed him further inside.

As they walked, Jiang Ming gave her a tour, his voice filled with pride. "Sis, look, this is the cardio area. All imported treadmills and ellipticals—each one costs tens of thousands. Over there is the strength training area; we have every machine imaginable. Upstairs is the group class area for yoga, Pilates, spinning... you name it, we have it."

Jiang Yixia took it all in as they walked, growing more and more amazed.

The scale of this gym was far larger than she had imagined.

The equipment on this floor alone had to be worth over a million.

The decor was exquisite, too. The floors were professional-grade sports flooring, the walls were lined with large mirrors, and the lighting design was impeccable.

She couldn’t help but ask, "How much money was invested in this place?"

Jiang Ming thought for a moment, then said with a sense of awe, "I heard the assistant manager mention that the renovations and equipment alone cost over eight million."

Jiang Yixia sucked in a sharp, shocked breath. "Over eight million?"

Jiang Ming nodded and lowered his voice. "Sis, and this is just one of President Lu’s smaller businesses. The assistant manager told me President Lu has tons of major enterprises—real estate, hotels, shopping malls... he owns properties all over the place."

Jiang Yixia fell silent.

Of course, she knew Lu Fan was rich.

But knowing it was one thing; seeing a gym this massive with her own eyes was still a staggering realization.

Jiang Ming looked at her and suddenly spoke in a hushed, tentative voice. "Sis... I know it’s not my place to say this, but President Lu is really sincere about you. If you just forgave him, you wouldn’t have to work so hard anymore."

Jiang Yixia’s brow furrowed. She looked at him, her tone growing serious. "Jiang Ming, what are you trying to say?"

Her stare made Jiang Ming feel a bit guilty, but he forced himself to continue. "Sis, I just think President Lu is a good guy. He’s been good to you, and he’s been good to our family. If you got together with him, then in the future..."
