Chapter 308: Zhao Yuyan Wants to Lose Weight
There are always difficult times in a career, and Ye Zhiyun was no exception. She had also experienced a difficult period in her career before, and would often worry about how to do a certain project. But every time, she had her old man, so she could solve it. But this time was different. She had to rely on herself for everything. No one would pay for her youth anymore. Once she failed, that would be the end.
At that time, not to mention establishing her own business empire, she didn’t even know if she would have the ability to protect the important people. She longed for success, but she had to face failure. At the beginning of the company’s creation, she had to find a way, a way to solve it. Therefore, during this period, she and Dai Wenqian would often argue due to disagreements. This was a common occurrence. Even if their relationship was good, they both knew very well that work and private life should be separated.
“Zhiyun, I hope you are right. I really hope so. We only have one chance. We can’t start over, nor can we read a save file. We must succeed.”
“I’m also thinking of a way, Wenqian. You think this money is not worth it, and I also think it’s not worth it, but at present, it is the most suitable method. Only by doing so can we retain our investment and get our company up and running. Wenqian, saving money is certainly important, but sometimes, necessary compromises are needed.”
“My principle is to compromise if I can. If I can’t, I will refuse. Even if you think it’s right, I will tell you to get out of the way.”
“Then do you believe me?”
“…I believe you, although it’s not good to talk about this at work.”
“Then that’s fine. Wenqian, I will succeed. Please believe me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer.”
The two of them often argued, but every time, Dai Wenqian would be persuaded by her. Ye Zhiyun seemed to be a born leader. She could always persuade her partners to implement her plans together, even though her plans didn’t sound that reliable.
Zendaya never participated in their quarrels. She just silently watched the show. To her, their disagreements were just a daily occurrence, and she just had to get used to it. However, it was also a fact that their company had a difficult start. As for how to start operating, they had no experience and could only fumble their way forward step by step.
…
While everyone was struggling in their careers, Lan Ranyan actually seemed a little leisurely. The three of them in the dorm were all busy with their own things, while she, after finishing her homework and reviewing her knowledge, didn’t seem to have anything particularly busy, although she had also joined a club. But it was not a large organization after all, so she was not very busy. She had also thought about getting some certificates, but she had plenty of time to review before the exam.
With nothing to do, she went for a run every morning and became the person with the most normal work and rest schedule in the whole dorm. She had also tried to wake up Xiao Yanhan, but Xiao Yanhan was a notoriously lazy person, and it was impossible to wake her up. And the other two, Fang Jiangning and Yu Linna, were both typical night owls who always worked late at night and couldn’t get up so early in the morning, so she gave up on waking them up.
“Hey, Ranyan, are you also running? Let’s go together!”
Occasionally on the sports field, she would meet Bai Ya from the dorm next door. They would make an appointment to run together and chat at the same time. Lan Ranyan’s personality was a bit cold, giving people a very aloof feeling, but Bai Ya just didn’t believe in that and always talked to her naturally. Lan Ranyan was a Beijing girl, and her living habits were very different from those of southerners in many places, for example, in terms of diet, she was a little different from others, but she was a very good person. Although Bai Ya was also from Huazhong Province, she was not a local of Guangnan, but she was also a southern girl. To have her stand with Lan Ranyan, this Beijing girl, it was obvious that no chemical reaction would be produced.
But Bai Ya was a sociable person and could always find a topic.
“Do you often work out?”
“Yes, I also have a gym membership. What, you want to borrow it?”
“That’s not it. I heard from Yanhan that your figure is great, and you have an eight-pack. Is that true?”
“…That stinky girl.”
Lan Ranyan silently clenched her fists. She swore that she would teach her a good lesson when she got back!
Lan Ranyan, a girl with a height of one meter seventy, and a northerner, plus she had developed an eight-pack from regular exercise, didn’t seem to fit the southern aesthetic, so it wasn’t without reason that no one dared to pursue her. Even someone like Yu Linna often received love letters and was even humbly asked for her WeChat.
But Lan Ranyan was beautiful. She didn’t have a particularly rugged appearance. She was the type with a heroic and valiant bearing, was tall, and when she stood with girls, it was often the other party who was handsome-fied by her. And her skin was very well-maintained. She rarely stayed up late. It was just that compared to the petite and cute southern girls, her aura was different. But no one dared to pursue her.
“Ranyan, do you want me to recommend a guy for you to meet? My boyfriend’s classmate, he’s just looking for a girlfriend.”
“No need.”
“Hey, don’t be so cold. Then you’ve fallen for someone.”
“I have no such thoughts. I think I’m fine as I am now.”
“You’re really cold. Look at your dorm. Yanhan is drawing manga, Jiangning is a big-time streamer, and Linna is often running out, we don’t know what she’s doing. Only you are studying diligently. You’re not like a northerner at all.”
“…”
Being told by a southern girl that she was not like a northerner, how should she answer her?
She couldn’t just say it was because she had been disciplined since she was a child and had no rebellious thoughts, right?
After running a few laps, Bai Ya was exhausted, her hands on her knees, panting. Lan Ranyan also stopped, handed her a bottle of water, and then grabbed the horizontal bar and started to play 180-degree big rotations. Her body spun in the air, like a professional athlete, her movements full of aesthetic sense.
“Amazing, amazing! You must have practiced, right? So cool!”
When Lan Ranyan got off the horizontal bar, many of the onlookers had taken photos and videos with their phones. The moment she got down, they all applauded, and a few girls took the initiative to ask for her WeChat. This was also Lan Ranyan’s unique charm.
Lan Ranyan wiped her sweat with a tissue, thinking of running another ten laps later, and then doing a hundred push-ups, and that should be about it.
The sharp-eyed Lan Ranyan happened to glance at a girl on the sports field who was struggling to grab the horizontal bar and pull herself up, but her arm strength was too weak to support her, and it was even difficult to do a single pull-up. And looking at the girl’s body curve, you could see that her little belly was very obvious. It seemed that this girl wanted to lose weight by exercising.
Most importantly, this girl even wore a mask and a hat when she went out, as if afraid of being recognized. Little did she know that doing so would only make her more conspicuous.
“What are you doing here, Yuyan-senpai?” she broke through the crowd and asked from below her.
Zhao Yuyan was startled and was just about to explain that she wasn’t, but seeing Lan Ranyan’s face, she recognized that she had been with Little Nana before and relaxed.
“Isn’t it because I’m afraid of being recognized… I don’t want to sign any more autographs. My hand is starting to tremble…”
“I suggest you go to a gym and hire a personal trainer. It would be better. Training on the sports field, not to mention whether the effect is good for you, the key is that you are very conspicuous.”
“Actually… I haven’t been to the gym in a long time, and my figure has gone back… I don’t have the face to see my coach…”
Zhao Yuyan pinched the fat on her stomach, quite embarrassed. As a girl, the biggest crisis was gaining weight, and it just had to be on her stomach. But there was nothing to be done about it. She couldn’t control her mouth.
If she continued to eat like this, it wouldn’t be long before she would have the body of Thor. She absolutely didn’t want to see that kind of thing!
“I think you lack a strict coach. Yuyan-senpai, perhaps I can help you.”
“How can you help?”
As soon as she said it, she immediately regretted it, but it was too late. Lan Ranyan had already secretly shown a devilish smile…
…
A moment later, a scream was heard from the gym. This scream was like the tragic sound of a pig being slaughtered. Those who heard it were sad, and those who saw it covered their faces.
“It hurts, it hurts! My waist is going to break!! Quick, stop! I’m going to die!”
“Yuyan-senpai, in the final analysis, you are not cruel enough to yourself. You have to be a little more cruel to yourself. Come on, straighten your waist. This can effectively consume your calories.”
“Ah ya! If I had known that working out was so painful, I should have controlled my mouth!”
Zhao Yuyan was truly on the verge of tears. Just because she was greedy and had a little more pizza and ice cream and potato chips, she had gained so much weight. She had gained almost ten pounds this year! Wasn’t this a bloody lesson!
It was all because her grades were too good, and her animation and novel sold so well that she became arrogant and ate crazily. She had been to many celebration parties. It would be strange if she didn’t get fat!
“Wuwuwu, working out is so hard. I want to go back and play games and eat potato chips…”
“You have to give up snacks for a long time. Your fat is almost all accumulated from eating, and you don’t like to exercise. Sitting for a long time will definitely lead to weight gain. you really should exercise.”
“Wuwuwu…”
Zhao Yuyan wanted to cry, missed Luo Nan’s delicious food. She didn’t want to exercise, nor did she want to eat a diet meal!
But if she continued to be so indulgent, she would definitely become a big fat person! At that time, even the endorsement companies wouldn’t look for her for endorsements, and she would earn a lot less money!
Bai Ya just silently watched the show. A bead of sweat fell from her head. How come she felt that the image of Air-sensei in her mind had already collapsed? But it was also true. Compared to the last time they had met, Air-sensei’s figure had indeed gone out of shape. She had gained a lot of weight. If you didn’t look at her face, you really couldn’t tell she was the great author of Wenqing, Air. No wonder she hadn’t seen much of Air-sensei’s endorsements recently.
“Air-sensei, don’t worry. No matter what you become, we will support you!”
“…Thank you, Little Bai Ya, I’m moved.”
Zhao Yuyan wanted to cry again.
But for now, she still had to lose weight. Her height was one meter sixty-two, and her weight had reached 104 pounds. If she didn’t lose weight soon, Sister Chen would kill her. Who asked her to debut as an idol author? If her figure was ruined, Wenqing would definitely kill her.
Now her goal was to lose ten pounds, and then get her weight down to ninety pounds. That was her ultimate goal.
“Yuyan-senpai, since you’ve made up your mind to lose weight, then you have to suffer a little. You can’t eat high-calorie food anymore, and you can’t touch drinks either. You have to eat a diet meal every day. Don’t worry, I will supervise you. I’m a professional.”
“…Little junior, can I have pizza and a hamburger every other day?”
“No.”
“Wuwuwu, I don’t want to eat a boiled diet meal! I want to eat roast duck, cake, pudding, and coke!”
“For the sake of your figure, you can’t eat these.”
“You’re a devil!”
Immediately after, another pig-killing scream was heard from the gym, just like a slaughterhouse. Bai Ya couldn’t even watch anymore and covered her eyes.
Zhao Yuyan could be said to have tasted what it’s like to reap what you sow.
