Chapter 62: Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
Chu Qiao stood with his feet forward and backward, squatted down, tightened his abdomen, and held the barbell with both hands, with the handles directly in front of his hips.
She took a deep breath and suddenly exerted force, causing the veins on her forehead to bulge slightly.
Chu Qiao tightened the barbell towards his chest, and without any delay, the barbell was raised to his chest.
"Oh my god, this woman is really good."
"Not necessarily. It's only raised to the chest, so it's not considered a success."
"The boss is here for inspection today. Should we call her over? If this woman sprains her waist or hits her foot, would that be considered an accident?"
"Yes, yes, I'll go call."
Before he finished speaking, Chu Qiao opened his legs forward and backward, raised his arms forward, and the barbell was gathered over his head.
Chu Qiao slowly retracted his legs.
Several coaches stared, counting unconsciously: "Five, four, three, two, one."
Chu Qiao was also silently repeating this in his mind. After a full ten seconds, Chu Qiao slowly placed the barbell on the mat.
This was the scene Lu Zhan saw when he arrived.
With Chu Qiao's ability, he didn't feel strange lifting such a weight, but when putting it down, he could still put it down slowly and easily instead of letting the barbell fall to the ground with a "bang", which shows that Chu Qiao's real strength is even higher than this.
Lu Zhan suddenly clapped his hands and walked forward: "Congratulations, Chu Qiao, I'll find you later to handle the refund procedures for you."
Chu Qiao's eyes widened and he pointed around: "Are you an employee of this store? Aren't you a doctor?"
The coach next to him interrupted, "Hey customer, this is our boss, Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu happened to be inspecting the store today, so you're lucky enough to have come."
Chu Qiao felt dizzy. How could this be a coincidence? It wasn’t a coincidence at all, okay?
Chu Qiao thought of his hand and said guiltily, "Boss Lu, regarding the refund, you can take your time. Don't be in a hurry. Just return it to my bank card via the original method."
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
Lu Zhan: "Aren't you here for training? Why are you leaving after just a short while?"
Chu Qiao: "Come back tomorrow... tomorrow."
Lu Zhan: "We can only refund the money on the same day, and the refund is in cash. Please go through the formalities with me."
The staff nearby looked at each other in confusion. When did they have so many restrictions?
Chu Qiao thought about the 10,000 Beidou coins and gritted his teeth: "Okay, Mr. Lu, lead the way."
Lu Zhan raised the corner of his mouth, took Chu Qiao to an office, and asked the staff to handle the formalities.
Lu Zhan: "Stretch out your hand and let me see."
Chu Qiao: "Mr. Lu, this is not a hospital, you are not a doctor now."
Lu Zhan: "I'm sorry, although this is not a hospital, but you are my VIP customer, I will be at your service 24 hours a day."
Chu Qiao: "What do you mean?"
Lu Zhan: "Didn't the people at Coke tell you? You are a VIP user of our hospital. I am responsible for you. You will enjoy my 24-hour medical service at any time."
Chu Qiao called Chen Ao half-believing and half-doubting.
The conclusion she came to was the same as what Lu Zhan said, but... she didn't want to see a doctor.
Lu Zhan didn't wait for his reaction and grabbed Chu Qiao's arm.
Chu Qiao dodged instinctively and slashed at Lu Zhan with her knife, but Lu Zhan turned his wrist and blocked her attack.
While Chu Qiao was stunned, his palm had already reached Lu Zhan's restraints.
In fact, Chu Qiao was better in terms of skills, but Lu Zhan won by taking her by surprise.
"You haven't taken good care of this wound of yours."
Chu Qiao: "Isn't this almost ready?"
Lu Zhan rolled his eyes at her, stood up, took out a jar of brown ointment from the drawer, picked up a piece with a wooden spoon, and applied it to her wound.
Chu Qiao felt the wound was cool, which indeed made him feel much more comfortable.
She was just about to thank Lu Zhan and quickly leave this weird man.
Lu Zhan suddenly threw the medicine bottle to her.
Chu Qiao reached out, and the medicine bottle landed accurately in her palm. Lu Zhan's voice rang in her ears: "Barbell, you can't lift it anymore."
Chu Qiao: "Mr. Lu, I am a member and I have the right to choose my own equipment."
Lu Zhan: "As your doctor and fitness trainer, I think I have reason to plan a better exercise program for you."
Chu Qiao opened his eyes wide: "Why is there another fitness coach? Do you have..."
Before he could utter the word "problem", a staff member came in with a document bag.
"Ms. Chu, this is your cash refund. We have also arranged for a private trainer to give you 50 free private lessons."
Lu Zhan suddenly interrupted the staff member: "You can go out."
"Ah, I haven't introduced myself yet..."
"Get out." Lu Zhan's tone left no room for doubt.
Chu Qiao curled his lips: "So, you want to be my personal trainer?"
Lu Zhan: "In theory, that's right."
Chu Qiao rolled his eyes and said, "Sorry, I have to continue training. Please let me go."
Lu Zhan: "Please."
Chu Qiao looked at the barbell unwillingly. She knew that Lu Zhan was right. The injury on her arm was not suitable for barbell exercises, but the training effect of the barbell was unmatched by other equipment.
Lu Zhan looked at him and frowned even tighter. He touched his nose and said nonchalantly, "Let's try this new equipment I brought in."
When he heard about the equipment, the training fanatic Chu Qiao immediately became interested, and his eyes lit up.
Lu Zhan took Chu Qiao into the equipment room. There weren't many pieces of equipment inside, but they were all quite valuable. Lu Zhan never let anyone else enter this room.
Although they are said to be new equipment, Chu Qiao recognizes most of them, except for one huge one.
She pointed at the big thing: "This? What's it called?"
Lu Zhan raised his chin, motioning her to sit on it, and said, "This is a Smith machine. It restricts the sliding path of the barbell, so it's safer and you can use heavy weights for exercises."
With the help of Lu Zhan, Chu Qiao tried it twice and found that this was not limited to squat training, but could also be used for bench presses, prone rowing, etc.
Chu Qiao raised the corner of his mouth, and his hair swayed back and forth with the movement, occasionally brushing against her collarbone: "This is good."
Lu Zhan lowered his head, his eyebrows raised slightly: "Then you can practice. I still need to go to other stores. If you need to see a doctor, please call me anytime."
Chu Qiao was obsessed with training and nodded perfunctorily.
For more than ten days in a row, Chu Qiao trained almost every day from 8 am to 10 pm.
When the people in the gym found out that Chu Qiao could actually enter the boss's private training room, they treated her with even more respect.
With the Smith rack, she never touched the barbell alone again.
Lu Zhan said he was a personal trainer, but he never came to the gym since that day.
Chu Qiao didn't find it strange. Being a doctor is a very busy profession, and Lu Zhan is considered a leader in the field. He definitely wouldn't have that much time to run this store.
Without the meddling Lu Zhan, Chu Qiao was actually quite free, and the intensity of his daily training was almost the same as when he was on Mars.
After more than ten days, Chu Qiao's body fat was significantly reduced and the muscle lines on his body became more obvious.
