Chapter 240: Chapter 160: Celestial Paradise
Seeing the look in Gao Yuan’s eyes, Old Si’s heart trembled.
Lately, he had witnessed Gao Yuan’s financial power, and it was frighteningly immense.
He had even looked into Yuanfang Company yesterday and learned that it was blowing up online. It must be raking in a fortune every day!
In fact, Old Si felt that this wasn’t even the full extent of Gao Yuan’s power. What he had seen was only what Gao Yuan wanted him to see.
"Work hard. As long as you do a good job, the vice president position is yours."
Gao Yuan patted Old Si on the shoulder, then left with Lin Wanyu and Li Mengqing.
After Gao Yuan left, Old Si went into the lobby of the Platinum Palace and couldn’t help but clench his fists in excitement.
’My life turns around today!’
He had just received a notification from the Industrial and Commercial Bank that 1.4 million had been deposited into his account. This was the commission Pan Daming had promised him.
This single payment was enough to let him skip five or six years of struggle.
And just now, Gao Yuan had promised him that as long as he worked hard, the vice president position would be his.
He had a rough idea of a vice president’s income at the Platinum Palace—a guaranteed minimum of 200,000 a year.
Feeling utterly delighted, Old Si walked inside. He also needed to pack his things and leave.
Gao Yuan had said the place would be under renovation for a month and that salaries would be paid as usual. This was basically a month of paid vacation.
But first, he had to deal with some of the existing employees. There were a few people he’d long found disagreeable, but he never had the authority to do anything about it. Now, it was time to exercise his newfound power.
Old Si sat down on the lobby sofa with an air of authority and sent a message to the group chat: everyone was to come to the club for a meeting.
He wasn’t sure what Gao Yuan planned to turn this place into or what its market positioning would be. But based on Gao Yuan’s standards, he guessed that not many of the current employees would make the cut.
The masseuses with good performance records would stay. The few masters who gave excellent body scrubs would stay. He couldn’t do anything about the finance department, so the rest would probably have to be let go.
However, Old Si wouldn’t fire everyone. He had to keep a few people he found useful.
Gao Yuan didn’t concern himself with these matters.
He collected his system reward and drove straight home.
In the car, both women asked Gao Yuan why he had suddenly taken over such a club.
Gao Yuan simply explained that he had a traditional Chinese massage technique passed down through his family. The two of them had already experienced it and thought it was a great idea.
However, Lin Wanyu brought up a certain point.
She asked what type of club he was planning to open, noting that his traditional Chinese massage technique was a little too... stimulating.
Gao Yuan naturally told her it was going to be a legitimate establishment.
And indeed, Gao Yuan was genuinely planning to run a proper club.
As for whether any "love stories" developed between clients and masseuses, he didn’t care. As long as the session fees were paid, he wouldn’t mind even if a masseuse was away from the club for the entire day.
Moreover, Gao Yuan would place a heavy emphasis on service. All service staff had to be young, beautiful women.
There would be cheongsams with high slits. There would be high heels.
He had even decided on a name for the club: Celestial Paradise!
’Hadn’t someone tried that name up north before?’
Those guys went way too far; it’s a wonder they weren’t shut down sooner. His place, on the other hand, would be strictly above board and could withstand any inspection.
He didn’t plan on changing the current bathing facilities at the Platinum Palace, but the first floor would be completely renovated. The layout of that club he visited in Shanghai with Wang Sichao was quite good.
He planned to imitate it. On the first floor, besides the main lobby, he would add a small fitness area and an employee lounge.
The second floor would be converted into several tea rooms.
The third floor would be remodeled into a large client lounge and a restaurant.
The fourth floor would be the men’s massage area. Of course, the room layouts would have to change. They couldn’t be as small as before; customers needed sufficient personal space.
The fifth floor would be a women’s spa area, exclusive to female clients, and the soundproofing on this level would be top-notch.
The sixth floor would remain a guest room area, but these rooms would be different from any others in the building. There would only be a few large suites, with none of the smaller ones.
This was Gao Yuan’s general plan. The specific implementation would be handled by the Renovation Card.
After getting home, he inspected the card. He found that using it wouldn’t just renovate the Platinum Palace; the card also provided several renovation templates.
However, the Host could still adjust the layout according to their own preferences, a feature Gao Yuan was very pleased with.
He immediately went online and hired a construction crew, instructing them to fence off the entire Platinum Palace the next day.
It was to be sealed off completely, creating the impression that it was under renovation. This would make it easier for him to use the Renovation Card.
Back at home, it was only five in the afternoon. Since he didn’t need to cook anymore, he went downstairs for a walk.
While walking, he suddenly thought, ’I might as well get a workout in,’ and headed into the gym.
This time, he didn’t call Wang Lin over, just ran casually on a treadmill for a little while.
While he was running, a woman got on the treadmill next to him.
Gao Yuan didn’t pay her any mind at first, but then he got the feeling that someone was watching him, so he glanced to his side.
And then he knew why.
The woman on the adjacent treadmill, dressed in a yoga outfit, was jogging slowly. The more Gao Yuan looked, the more familiar she seemed.
Most importantly, her yoga outfit left nothing to the imagination, showing off her figure completely.
Her curves were captivating, especially since there was no trace of underwear beneath her yoga clothes.
Just then, the woman turned her head and looked at Gao Yuan.
She gave him a brilliant smile. "What a coincidence!"
’Yes, a coincidence indeed!’
Gao Yuan recognized her. It was the woman he had met in the elevator the other day. She had been wearing a mask then, but she wasn’t today since she was working out.
Plus, that day the woman had been wearing a heavy coat over a long, white woolen dress, so he hadn’t been able to see her figure at all.
Today, however, her yoga outfit put her figure on full display.
’As expected, there’s no shortage of beautiful women in a high-end complex like this!’
But... Gao Yuan had to wonder if this woman had certain... special tastes.
’Why is she going commando every time I see her?’
