Chapter 1752: Chapter 650: Hu Ling’s True Confession

Hu Ling originally thought Zhang Jingdong just wanted to kiss her, but she didn’t expect he wanted to do that.

She was a bit flustered instantly, mainly because it was in the Yangtze River.

She hurriedly leaned back and said urgently, "No way! Jingdong, we’re in the river, it’s too dangerous!"

Zhang Jingdong pinched her chin: "Don’t worry, not to mention this is a calm area, even in the fastest currents of Tiger Leaping Gorge, I can control everything, just relax."

"And I promise you’ll have an unprecedented experience in this river."

"You... you’re sure? Maybe we should..."

Zhang Jingdong didn’t wait for her to finish, he kissed her again.

Hu Ling struggled a bit this time too, but maybe because all the bragging Zhang Jingdong did before turned out to be true, or maybe she was moved by his promise, she eventually let go of his hand.

"Congratulations, Host, for successfully completing the lesson in a special environment, reward of 2 million yuan!"

More than half an hour later, Zhang Jingdong brought Hu Ling to shore.

After getting ashore, Zhang Jingdong rested for a good minute before he finally caught his breath.

Can’t deny, doing that in the water really takes a toll.

Even with his invincible physique, he only lasted in the water for more than half an hour.

The main challenge was that he had to hold Hu Ling during that, the difficulty was simply too high.

At this moment, he turned to look at Hu Ling: "How do you feel, happy?"

Hu Ling still hadn’t regained her ability to speak, but she nodded gleefully.

Zhang Jingdong laughed heartily and then hugged her.

Soon, a breeze blew by, Hu Ling shivered, so Zhang Jingdong said, "Let’s head back to the car first."

"Okay."

The two tidied up a bit and left the riverbank, returning to the white Audi.

At this time, both of their clothes were wet, Zhang Jingdong thought for a moment and said, "We don’t have anywhere to buy clothes now, and even if we could, you’d still have to go to Shanshan’s house in the morning, hard to explain to her."

"How about this, we’ll find a place to dry our clothes and have a late-night snack."

Hu Ling hesitated: "But where should we go?"

Zhang Jingdong gave a mysterious smile: "You’ll know soon, I’ll drive."

The two got out of the car and switched seats.

Zhang Jingdong started the car again, performed some neat maneuvers, and the car quickly disappeared from the riverbank.

On the way, Zhang Jingdong suddenly thought of something, turned his head and said, "Hu Ling, what do you plan to do after graduation?"

Hu Ling obviously didn’t expect Zhang Jingdong to suddenly ask her this question, she thought seriously for a while, then replied: "I haven’t thought about it carefully yet, but I think no matter how the future changes, people will always need exercise, so I want to open a fitness center."

Zhang Jingdong’s eyes flashed with appreciation: "Did you just think of it, or have you always had this plan?"

"A bit of both, before I only had a vague idea, if you hadn’t asked, maybe I wouldn’t have thought of the fitness center."

Saying this, Hu Ling observed Zhang Jingdong’s expression, then said: "You’re serious about business, what do you think of my idea?"

"Do you want the truth or a lie?" 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

"Of course the truth, don’t lie to me!"

"Okay, the truth is... I think your idea is very good. If you really want to do it in the future, I can even invest in you because I think like you, people always need a place to exercise, so a fitness center would be a great business."

"But in the coming years, you have to think over two things, the first thing is your target audience."

"Because not everyone exercises at a fitness center, most Huaxia people are wage earners, and they usually go to free places to exercise."

"So your fitness center’s target audience must be middle to high income groups, and within this group, there will still be some subdivisions, because the fitness center levels will be different for moderate and high-income people."

"The second thing is your fitness center’s selling point."

"Because you won’t be the only one eyeing this business, especially once your fitness center profits, according to Huaxia people’s style, there will definitely be countless fitness centers following suit."

"And if you want your fitness center to survive, you need something unique to attract your members."

Hu Ling nodded thoughtfully: "What you said makes a lot of sense, okay, I will definitely think these questions through seriously."

Zhang Jingdong said with relief: "I’ll give you a homework assignment, once you figure these questions out, prepare a business plan for me to see."

"If I think it’s viable, then I’ll invest at least 30 million in you, and if the business really takes off, we’ll make it a nationwide chain, and I’ll cover all subsequent investments, and I’ll give you 50% of the shares in the entire business, how about that?"

Hu Ling was first excited, but then suddenly thought of something: "You... you want to use this money and shares to... to buy me?"

Zhang Jingdong laughed and shook his head: "Sorry, you’re overthinking it. I, Zhang Jingdong, may have many women, but I never keep idle people."

"But if I find that you’re very business-minded, I’ll be willing to invest in you, and if the business makes money, then we’ll split the money together."

"And if the business loses, then it can count as my affection with you for that."
