Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 385 Fall in Love with Fitness
I looked at Meili and said, "Did you tell Mr. Dong that I exercise every day?"

Meili immediately denied it and said, "I didn't say anything. You need me to tell Mr. Dong about your fitness. Everyone in the company knows. Whoever you meet now, don't you just say that, you should go to exercise." .”

I groaned and said, "It seems to be true. You will be fined to work overtime today, so watch over it!"

Meili smiled and said, "If I don't keep watch for you someday, I don't plan to leave. The supper is all set." "

I nodded and said, "Good comrade, I will give you a raise at the end of the year!"

Unknowingly, fitness has become a habit in my life. From the beginning, I went to the gym every day like going to the execution ground, and now I feel uncomfortable if I don’t go for a day, and I am more punctual than anyone else.It is said that people will form a fixed habit in 21 days, but I fell in love with fitness after only one week.

From the beginning, I only took aerobic boxing and barbell exercises for men, and later I took both exercises.Whether it's yoga or Pilates, or aerobic dance, to pedaling.I am now a full-time member of the gym, and I am definitely worthy of the 2000 yuan a year membership fee.

Although I haven't lost weight or become stronger, I obviously feel that my body has become much lighter. I can go up to the 6th floor without panting, and my lungs become full of energy. I always feel that I am also a muscular man now, and I still promote the benefits of fitness to everyone I meet. At one time, people thought I was selling fitness memberships.Sometimes I have the urge to set up a gym myself.

I also became friends with a group of middle-aged and elderly women. Whenever I took a yoga class, someone would take the initiative to help me take the front seat. Even the instructor who taught me admired me and said, "If I had your seriousness back then , I guess I am now a national yoga champion.”

Whenever I see newcomers coming in, I feel an inexplicable sense of superiority. Looking at their clumsy movements, and seeing my own fierce movements, I feel proud of myself.But when I first came in, wasn't it the same as these newcomers?

Katsuo doesn't like to go to exercise class, she likes to exercise by herself, she has become the goddess of the equipment area.He has a good figure, can lift a lot of weight, has a standard posture, and is also willing to help others, answering everything and talking endlessly.This made me very jealous, but I can’t say anything. I hate practicing equipment the most. Every time I used to practice equipment with Katsuo, I felt inferior. She and I were basically the same weight, and we didn’t use barbell plates. It hurts my self-esteem.

Moreover, when those muscular men knew that I was Katsuo's friend, I felt that their eyes were not so friendly, and after seeing the weight I lifted, they despised me even more.Immediately after I lift a weight, someone adds weight and performs it in front of me.

I ignored them all, and thought to myself, the strength of the cow is not small, but it will still be replaced by a tractor.Kong has a whole body of muscles, but his brain is useless, and he fantasizes from time to time, can those bodybuilding champions beat the fighting champions?It is far away, and it is estimated that one punch will directly KO.

Today I came to the gym on time and said hello to my acquaintances. Katsuo was already warming up. When he saw me coming, he said, "I have to go first. I will have a dinner at work in the evening. You can do it yourself in the evening."

I asked with an oh: "Do I need to pick you up?"

Katsuo looked at him coldly and said, "What do you think?"

I said with an oh: "Understood."

There were a lot of people today. When I changed my clothes and came out, the treadmill was full of people.I searched around and found one with great difficulty, and warmed up next to it, ready to go up and run.A scantily clad young girl rushed onto the treadmill and shouted to someone behind her: "Sally, come here, I'll run for 10 minutes, you keep running."

I see that the girl looks good and has a good figure, but she shouldn't wear makeup. What kind of makeup do you wear for fitness?What's more, she is holding a glass of KFC Coke in her hand. How can this be for fitness?
I politely said to the girl: "I'm sorry, I came first to this machine, I'm just warming up next to it, and I'm about to run away."

The girl looked at me and said dissatisfiedly: "Write your name? When I came, there was no one here, so there is no one."

As soon as I heard that I was so impolite, I said: "Yes! The one standing on it is not a human being!"

The girl stared and said, "How do you talk?"

I rolled my eyes at her and said: "Speaking with my mouth, I'm already being polite. For those who don't follow the rules, I should be rude to them!"

The girl's companion, Sally, came over, looked at me and said, "Mr. Chen, is it you? Recently, people in the company say that you are exercising. Didn't expect such a coincidence?"

I looked at the girl's companion with a smile and said, "You are also from the company? I have a photographic memory. If I have seen you, I will definitely remember your name, so we must have never met!"

The companion shook his head and said, "I'm from the cost department, and we rarely get in touch with each other, so you may not know me."

I hummed and said, "That's possible." Then I pointed to the girl on the treadmill and asked her, "Is this your friend?"

Sally nodded and said, "Yes, what's the matter, Mr. Chen?"

I said oh, "That's it, it's okay, it's okay, I'm going to class right now, you can practice."

Sally looked at me, and then at her companion, knowing what was going on, and hurriedly said: "Ai Ai, you don't know Mr. Chen of our company? Why didn't you say hello?"

The girl standing on the treadmill looked at me in surprise, and said to Sally in a low voice: "I don't wear glasses, I can't see clearly, it's over, I just snatched his treadmill." Then, got off the treadmill, He apologized to me: "I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, I didn't know it was you, you can use it first."

I wanted to tease her a few words, but I thought it was just a little girl, so I shook my head and said, "No need, I'm going to exercise class." After finishing speaking, I walked into the big classroom.

I heard Sally blame Ai Ai and said: "How many times have you told you that you must obey the rules in doing things, but you just don't listen. Now it's all right. You offended the living king of our company. You know Mr. Mai and Mr. Yun was so scolded that he couldn't lift his head, and even Mr. Dong respected him three points, just wait."

Ai Ai was frightened and cried, and said: "What should I do? You won't fire me tomorrow, right?"

I thought to myself, am I that scary?

After one class, I felt refreshed physically and mentally, and I was about to find Sheng Nan. Two little girls followed me. Sally handed me a glass of water and said politely: "Mr. Chen, look at this Ai Ai, who is young and naive. , don't half know her!"

I turned around and said, "Am I really that small? Because she stole my treadmill, should I fire her? Besides, I don't even know her name or any position, so how can I get back at her? Be more mature.

Also, let me give you a piece of advice, the gym is a place to sweat, not a place to take pictures, go on a blind date, or entertain. Look at you, wearing makeup, wearing inappropriate clothes, and holding a Coke in your hand. Yes, it's ridiculous.Whatever you do, you have to be professional, okay? "

Sally nodded her head all the time, and I said with a hey, "It's okay, I have a clear distinction between public and private, as far as I am concerned, I don't like this girl's behavior, but it is her fault." I have no right to interfere in personal life, but as for her work, I am not her boss, and I have no right to intervene, understand?"

Katsuo saw me coming over and was wrestling with a dumbbell, and then said in a nonchalant manner: "It was a good chat? Which one is prettier?" After speaking, he slapped a dumbbell and almost smashed my foot. After I caught it, I explained: "This is an employee of my company. He just said hello to me. It's nothing else. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."

Katsuo snorted and said, "Seeing how energetic you are, let's practice a few more sets today." Then, he said harshly, "I won't kill you from exhaustion!"

Too hard, four sets of back pushes, four sets of chest pushes, and four sets of legs.I was as tired as a dog, lying on the ground and unwilling to get up, I was kicked by Katsuo before I went to take a shower.

After taking a shower, as soon as I walked out of the hall, I saw Mai Liang and Yu Hong sitting in the hall, waiting for me eagerly.

I walked over and asked, "Why have you all chased me here?"

Mai Liang replied: "Didn't you say that, I will notify you as soon as there is news? Meili told us that you are working out here."

I sat down and said, "Go ahead."

Mai Liang said: "The local salespersons down below are really not good enough, they can't even speak Mandarin well. The district and provincial presidents went down in person. After investigation, I found out that these shops were rented out a few months ago, but they have been There was no movement, everyone thought it was vacant, and then suddenly a month ago, all the construction was unified, the design drawings were uniform, the store decoration was uniform, and even the products inside were the same. The manager of their third-tier and fourth-tier markets is our company When the sales department went out, they learned this set of things from us, but they are more professional than us. In addition, they also inquired that there will be some actions in second-tier cities in the near future. I am stepping up efforts to investigate."

I nodded, looked at Yu Hong, and Yu Hong said: "The price comparison is out, all functions and models are the same, it is 5% lower than our market price as a whole, for example, a 4-speed floor fan with air cooling function , Our price is 180 yuan, they buy 171 yuan, 5th gear, we sell it for 210 yuan, they sell it for 200 yuan. Not only this model, but all products are 5%."

I counted in my mind and said: "Then their prices are not ridiculously low. They are 10 yuan and 8 yuan away from us. This can attract consumers? I don't believe it. If it's just like this, We are too worried, they have no advantage in the second-tier market, the same product, even if we are more expensive than theirs, consumers will not choose them, because the brand is here.”
