Chapter 432 - 263: Coaching Fang Jie in Yoga (2)

"Not yet. You can handle the casting. Put together a list of suitable people, but let’s avoid using any young idols for the leads. Find some middle-aged actors instead."

"I’ll draw up a list as soon as possible," Fang Jie said.

"The only thing left is the filming location. This is a time-travel movie, so the location needs to have a period feel. Zhonghai isn’t quite right for it."

Lin Jiang nodded, carefully trying to recall the details of the film.

’If I remember correctly, I think it was filmed in Bin City in the Northeast.’

’That area is an old industrial base. Many of its cities were once highly developed, but as times changed, they couldn’t keep up. Now, they’re left with many marks of a bygone era.’

’To recreate this classic film now, the Northeast is the perfect choice.’

"I think Bin City would be a good fit. We can go scout it out when we have time."

This was something Lin Jiang intended to oversee personally.

’The first step is always the hardest. Now that I’m entering a brand new industry, my first move has to be a solid one. There’s no room for error.’

Fang Jie’s eyes lit up. "After I finished the script, the first place I thought of was Bin City, too! Plus, my family is from Bin City. I’m not too busy lately, so we could go check it out together."

"That works."

She remained outwardly composed, but inside, Fang Jie was ecstatic.

’It’s a good thing I gathered my courage and asked him to come up for a bit. Otherwise, I might not have gotten this opportunity.’

"Do you have any hobbies besides diving?"

Just talking about work would be too boring, so Fang Jie deftly changed the subject.

"Does working out count?"

"You like working out, too?"

Fang Jie had already suspected as much.

’Lin Jiang had such a great physique; it was clearly built up over a long time. He must work out regularly.’

"I wouldn’t say I love it, but I go when I’m not busy."

’Now that I have this rewarded Fitness Card, I have to go whenever I have the time.’

’Two million for one session, that’s fourteen million a week. There’s no reason not to go.’

"We should go together sometime. It’s more motivating to have a partner."

As she spoke, Fang Jie looked at Lin Jiang and said,

"When we were diving, I noticed you’re in great shape. You must have been working out for years, right? I feel like even a lot of instructors don’t look as good as you."

"No need to worship me blindly."

’My body is this good. It’d be a real waste not to show off a little.’

"Then how about you teach me? I’m so busy with my kid every day, I barely have any time to work out anymore."

"Sure. Give me a call when you have time."

"Why wait? There’s no time like the present. How about today? Is that okay?"

’Seeing how serious she looked, and then glancing at her figure... it would be a shame not to keep a body like that in shape.’

"Alright."

"Then I’ll be counting on you today, Coach Lin," Fang Jie said, standing up. "Wait a moment, I’m going to go change into my workout gear."

"Alright."

Fang Jie went into her room. After about ten minutes, she came back out.

She was wearing yoga pants and a form-fitting sports top. Her legs were plump, her rear full, her breasts perky—a truly perfect figure for a beautiful young woman.

Lin Jiang already knew from their diving trip that Fang Jie’s butt was unusually perky.

Now, in yoga pants, its shape was even more defined and attractive.

"I’ve let myself go a little recently and gained a couple of pounds. I’m even starting to get a little belly."

Fang Jie patted her stomach. "You can’t make fun of me."

"You’ve got a great body," Lin Jiang said. "Not many women are as curvy as you."

Fang Jie turned sideways, resting a hand on her behind to show off her figure.

"I feel like I’ve got a little too much fat. I want to lose some."

"If it’s purely fat loss you’re after, that can be done pretty quickly."

"I’m a little lazy, so I can’t train on my own. If I don’t have someone to supervise me, I’ll never lose this weight."

"Supervision isn’t enough. You’ll have to listen to me, too."

Fang Jie raised her slender, fair hand.

"Don’t worry, Coach Lin. I promise to be obedient."

"Alright, let’s get started then."

’I haven’t gotten the Fitness Technique Card yet, so I don’t really know much about the relevant knowledge or techniques.’

’But from hanging around Qin Yangyang so much, I’ve picked up a thing or two.’

"Let’s start with a round of HIIT to warm up."

"Coach Lin, starting with HIIT right off the bat? Isn’t that a little intense?"

Apparently, Fang Jie also knew how brutal a HIIT workout could be.

"If you want to burn fat, you need intensity. I’ll do it with you."

"Okay."

The two of them stood side-by-side and began the fat-burning workout.

With a serious expression, Fang Jie began to jump along with Lin Jiang.

He glanced to the side. With every jump, her large breasts bounced up and down in rhythm.

In that moment, the joy of working out became truly tangible.

But after just a little while, Fang Jie couldn’t go on. Exhausted, she collapsed to the floor, unable to move.

"We’re not even done with the first set and you’re already giving up."

"My stamina is usually decent, but HIIT is just insane. Let me rest a little longer," Fang Jie whined playfully.

"If you quit at this level of intensity, then I’m failing my duty as a supervising coach."

From the sofa, Fang Jie looked back at him alluringly.

"Next time, you can set a goal for me. If I don’t complete it, you can punish me. But just this once, let me slack off, please...?"

’At this point, if he still insisted on a so-called workout, he’d be a complete idiot.’

’This was all about the flirtation. Who the fuck cared about the workout?’

"That could work. Gotta have a system of rewards and punishments to stay motivated."

"Mhm, whatever you say."

After resting for a bit, Fang Jie felt much better.

"Do you know anything about yoga? Can you do it?"

In Fang Jie’s eyes, Lin Jiang was such a fitness pro that he probably knew a little about yoga, too.

"I don’t know how to do it, but I certainly know how to watch."

Pfft—

Fang Jie couldn’t help but laugh.

’As expected,’ she thought. ’Men are always interested in this sort of thing.’

"I’ll do some yoga for a bit, then. It’s low-impact, so we can talk while I do it."

"Okay."

Fang Jie took out a yoga mat and started practicing yoga in the living room, chatting with Lin Jiang about the movie at the same time.

"When are you free to go check out Bin City?"

"I’m pretty flexible on my end. A lot of things can be handled remotely."

Lin Jiang looked at Fang Jie. "What about you? Is your company busy?"

"I’ll make some arrangements. It shouldn’t be a problem."

’Her company’s performance was declining day by day, to the point that her main job nowadays was just taking care of her child.’

’But she still needed to check in. If there was nothing that absolutely required her presence, she could leave with Lin Jiang.’

"How about next week? The ’Super Fun’ cheerleading competition is about to enter the provincial-level qualifiers. You could come watch with me. If we spot any promising talent, we can keep an eye on them and maybe lock them down early."

At that moment, Fang Jie was kneeling on the yoga mat, her upper body bent forward until she was lying prone. The massive outline of her peach-like rear looked like a giant, perfectly round sphere.

Lin Jiang sipped his tea. ’What a pleasing sight.’

"That could work. Especially students from places like the Central Academy of Drama—those are top-tier schools. And schools like Zhonghai Normal University and Zhonghai University also have film and television performance majors. If students from there are competing, we might really find some promising talent," Fang Jie said, still lying prone on the mat.

"That’s what I was thinking, too. I’ll take you with me."

"Mhm," Fang Jie said, her voice a little strained.

"What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable?"

Fang Jie was still holding her prone position on the floor.

"I feel like I’ve really gained weight. I can’t bend forward as far as I used to."

"You mean you could go all the way down when you were slimmer, but you can’t now?"

"Yeah. Could you come and press down on my back a little? Otherwise, this stretch won’t be effective."

"Alright."

Putting down his cup, Lin Jiang moved behind Fang Jie. "What do I do?"

"Stand behind me and place your palms on my lower back. Then just press down gently."

"Alright."

Lin Jiang did as she said, moving behind her and placing his hands on her lower back before gently pressing down.

"Yes, right there..."

"Not too hard..."

"A little lighter..."

"Yes, just like that..."
