Chapter 52 The Meal

At noon, Ming Yun Private Kitchen.

Pei Qian and Guo Licheng, along with the other trainers from the managed gyms, arrived one after another.

The DGE club members were a little late, since they lived nearby and could arrive right on time.

Seeing that Guo Licheng's physique had increased slightly again, Pei Qian expressed his satisfaction and praised him in public.

"Very good, Coach Guo is a role model for everyone, and everyone should learn from Coach Guo. At the next dinner, if I see that anyone's physique hasn't changed significantly, or their muscle mass hasn't increased significantly, then this store manager is definitely incompetent, and I will consider replacing them, understand?"

The store managers nodded one after another, "Understood!"

Pei Qian was very satisfied with this.

Judging from Guo Licheng's size, he must have spent all his time training and had no time to be responsible for the daily operations of the gym.

Good, this is exactly what President Pei wanted!

Guo Licheng was a little embarrassed by the praise.

As the person in charge of the project, he has not been able to turn the managed gyms from loss to profit. Not to mention the entire project, even the earliest managed gym flagship store is still some distance away from breaking even.

Since the managed gym app was launched, the problem of congestion during peak hours has indeed been solved. Everyone makes an appointment before coming to exercise, which is good for dispersing the flow of customers.

But this doesn't help the popularity of the gym itself, and it even has a certain inhibitory effect.

As for the other functions of the managed gym app, they are good, but the key is that there are so few users. No matter how good the other functions are, someone has to use them, right?

Therefore, Guo Licheng always felt that he was a little bit sorry for the developers of the managed gym app. They had such good app functions, but not enough users could take advantage of them.

Fortunately, Yu Pingan from the Xue Ba Kuai Lai project came to his door some time ago, hoping to integrate managed gyms, which solved the problem of user volume well. Guo Licheng certainly agreed happily.

He figured that all of this must have been arranged by President Pei, so Guo Licheng didn't ask any more questions. Everything was understood without words.

As for the purpose of today's dinner, Guo Licheng wasn't particularly clear.

Celebrating?

That's impossible. The managed gyms are still losing money, so what's there to celebrate?

Boost morale and encourage the gym managers to keep up their efforts?

Well, that's possible.

It's just that President Pei didn't say anything, and no one dared to ask too much. After all, a department that loses money year after year is too embarrassed to say too much on this occasion.

Pei Qian looked at the time. The members of the DGE esports club should be arriving soon.

He felt that it was necessary to give the gym managers present a few words of advice.

"There's a small issue that everyone should pay attention to."

"Today, we're having dinner with the people from the DGE esports club, partly to welcome them, and partly to comfort them."

"As a newly established esports club, the members of DGE should have lost miserably when they went to challenge those old clubs all over the country, and the players have been hit hard."

"Now they need understanding and comfort. When the time comes, everyone must not take the initiative to mention topics related to their performance. Eat more, offer more toasts, and talk more about fitness, understand?"

The gym managers nodded one after another, "Understood!"

But everyone was puzzled. What's with talking more about fitness?

Only a very few people here (such as Guo Licheng, who is familiar with Coach Ya Ling) knew about the "scientific training method" adopted by the DGE esports club.

Pei Qian was quite satisfied with these gym managers who didn't ask anything and just shouted "Understood."

These people were basically cut from the same cloth as Guo Licheng, loved fitness, and were simple-minded. They wouldn't come up with various new tricks to stab President Pei in the back.

And they were easy to supervise. As long as he looked at the changes in their muscle mass each time they met, he could determine whether they had been training seriously.

As long as they trained seriously, they shouldn't have too many opportunities to cause trouble.

Just after finishing his instructions, the people from the DGE club arrived.

"Brother Qian!"

Ma Yang took the lead.

Pei Qian went over and gave him a warm hug, then looked at the players behind him.

Their expressions... were all very bland.

They couldn't be said to be dejected, but they certainly weren't very happy.

Well, obviously the frustration of being abused had subsided a lot after returning home, but they were still in low spirits.

At this time, they needed food to heal them!

"Come on, everyone, take your seats and get ready to eat!"

Pei Qian never bothered with those polite formalities. A dinner was just for everyone to gather together and eat as much as possible.

Ma Yang was very excited, "Brother Qian, I want to sit next to you! Let me tell you, this time I went out to play training matches, I was the team's tactical instructor and played an important role! If you don't believe me, go ask around, which of those clubs outside doesn't know about DGE club's Instructor Ma?"

Huang Wang was shocked and subconsciously looked at Zhang Yuan.

The meaning was, what about the agreement not to take credit? What's going on with Instructor Ma?

Zhang Yuan shook his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do. President Ma didn't have to abide by these unspoken rules.

Don't ask, the answer is that he's blocked an atomic bomb.

Of course, no one else should try to learn from him.

After hearing Old Ma's words, Pei Qian was filled with awe.

He had found the reason why DGE was being crushed!

No wonder the players were all depressed. If you were the tactical instructor, how could they not be depressed?

They weren't necessarily able to win in the first place, but if you directed them, wouldn't the players be pushed flat in fifteen minutes every game?

You really did play an important role. There's no doubt about it. It must have been a negative role!

It's no wonder that you're famous. Those clubs outside have probably never encountered such a terrible tactical instructor. After this battle, Instructor Ma is sure to become synonymous with "blind commander," and his reputation will spread far and wide...

Pei Qian was even more convinced that the members of the DGE club must have been abused miserably.

Only Old Ma could still laugh.

Pei Qian patted Ma Yang on the shoulder, "Don't say anything, Old Ma, I understand!"

"Alright, this matter is over, so don't mention it again in the future. Hurry up, your favorite lobster is here, get to it!"

Ma Yang was still very excited and wanted to tell Pei Qian about his wonderful performance as the core in the training matches, but when he turned his head, he saw the lobster and was immediately drawn to it.

What's more important than eating when you're bragging!

Ma Yang immediately threw the matter to the back of his mind, picked up the lobster, and started gnawing.

Pei Qian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, thank goodness I reacted quickly!

Otherwise, if Old Ma were to say that the DGE club had been defeated miserably and crushed in the training matches, how embarrassing would that be!

In front of so many people, how would Zhang Yuan and the players be able to save face? This meal would definitely be ruined!

Fortunately, Old Ma shut up, so no one should be so blind as to bring up this matter, and everyone could eat in peace.

Zhang Yuan looked at Huang Wang and the others with a "see, I told you so" expression.

The players all understood.

President Pei really doesn't like people taking credit!

Look at President Ma, who blocked an atomic bomb for President Pei, he was interrupted by President Pei as soon as he showed a little bit of momentum to take credit.

So, it's better not to talk nonsense and just eat!

One dish after another was served, and everyone started feasting, truly rarely able to eat such delicious food.

At this time, someone asked about Coach Ya Ling's recent movements, only to find out that she had become the club's coach, and she was training esports players through fitness, which was amazing.

No wonder President Pei said that they could exchange fitness experiences with these esports players!

And these esports players looked at the row of fitness coaches opposite them and showed envious expressions.

Look at their size, their muscles!

President Pei is having us eat with the fitness coaches, obviously to tell us not to be complacent, to continue working hard, and to strive to develop this kind of physique as soon as possible!

We're still far from it now!

It has to be said that fitness can be addictive.

It's difficult to persevere at the beginning of fitness because it takes effect very slowly, but after a period of time, the body's muscles will enter a period of rapid growth, and the body shape will change.

This is similar to the principle of saving money. The less money people earn, the less they care about their savings and surpluses. Anyway, they're city moonlights and spend money casually. Once their savings increase, they will pay attention to their expenses because they will enjoy seeing their savings numbers grow.

Now the members of the DGE club are in this stage, and they are very concerned about the growth of their muscles, and fitness has become a habit.

Not to mention, the atmosphere is quite harmonious when these two groups of people eat together.

After all, they have the common topic of fitness to talk about.

Guo Licheng chatted with Coach Ya Ling while eating, and casually asked, "Are you planning to go out to play training matches again in the future?"

Coach Ya Ling shook her head, "No, it's not interesting."

Guo Licheng nodded, expressing his understanding.

Indeed, it is very frustrating to be abused frequently, and it is normal to have a short-term avoidance mentality.

Hearing this, Pei Qian was even happier.

Obviously, losing the training matches has greatly affected the players' confidence. They are disheartened and have decided to adopt an ostrich strategy and start to escape!

This is also a good thing. Although the DGE esports club cannot participate in official events, if they continue to be active, they may cause some influence in other places and disrupt President Pei's overall plan.

When they are disheartened and retreat, and the two teams play training matches with each other and entertain themselves, their level will only get lower and lower.

According to this script, this club is sure to lose money like crazy!

The more Pei Qian thought about it, the happier he became.

...

At the same time, H4 Esports Club.

Team Leader Su looked at his phone with an unbelievable expression on his face.

"What does this latest post on Huang Wang's Moments mean?"

"Returning to the base, President Pei held a celebration banquet and personally hosted it... renting out the entire Unknown Restaurant?!"

"Bragging, blatant bragging!"

"This is taking an inch and wanting a mile!"

Team Leader Su was furious.
