Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 595 Coach Liu
Dong Ping guessed why Yang Ying did this; she simply couldn't bear to see Huang Xiaoming and Qin Lan reconcile and so openly invite relatives and friends to their wedding.

Mr. Dong understood her motivation for going crazy on Weibo, but that didn't mean he could accept Yang Ying doing it. In Mr. Dong's eyes, she was just making trouble for herself.

So, with a plane ticket, Boss Dong forced Yang Ying to go to Australia to avoid the storm.

Making such a scene at someone's wedding, aren't you ashamed? Why are you staying in China waiting for the media to film you?

Bosses promote artists, incur costs, enjoy the rewards brought by the artists, and also have to deal with the troubles of the artists.

Yang Ying is a top earner and has made a lot of money for Boss Dong, but she is also quite good at causing trouble, and Boss Dong has to clean up her messes.

But Mr. Dong's job of cleaning up the mess wasn't to apologize to Huang Xiaoming and Qin Lan on Yang Ying's behalf. He thought that the deed was done and that was it; the most urgent thing was to find a way to salvage Yang Ying's public image.

When Li Chen and Fan Bingbing made their relationship public last year, Zhang Xinyu went crazy on Weibo, causing her already poor reputation to plummet even further, and now she's practically forgotten.

Now Yang Ying has gone even further, going crazy on someone's wedding day, making the situation even more serious.

An ex-girlfriend disrupting a wedding is something only movies and TV dramas could portray. It might seem impressive and lively now, but this kind of behavior really damages one's image.

Huang Xiaoming has such good relationships within the industry. How will directors and producers in the industry view your disruptive behavior at their wedding?
They'll definitely think Yang Ying is a crazy woman, and they'll have to be careful about cooperating with her in the future.

Dong Ping is rich and powerful, but he can't use his money and power to bully people everywhere. He still has to talk to people properly. With Yang Ying doing this now, Dong Ping is in a very passive position.

Helping them is difficult, but not helping them would be a real shame to give up such a cash cow.

But as expected of a veteran in the cultural circle, Mr. Dong figured out how to clear Yang Ying's name just two days after she left the country.

But there's no rush now; let's wait until things calm down.

Yang Ying went on a rampage on Weibo on the day of Huang Xiaoming's wedding, and the impact of this incident was indeed as Mr. Dong predicted—very bad.

Getting back together with his ex-girlfriend and getting married because she's pregnant—what's that like in the entertainment industry?
It means nothing.

But if you go crazy on someone's wedding day, instigating fans to insult the newlyweds and even cursing their unborn child, anyone would think that's pure evil.

This matter has nothing to do with many directors, producers, and bosses, but it has negatively impacted their impression of Yang Ying.

Fortunately, Yang Ying hasn't had much work lately. She's finished recording variety shows and filming "General and I," and now she's just waiting for the Lunar New Year release of "See You Tomorrow."

But Yang Ying didn't think she had done anything wrong; she genuinely felt that she was the victim in this relationship from beginning to end.

She just wants a powerful backer like Li Qiutang who can provide top-notch resources. What's wrong with that? Isn't that how it is in the entertainment industry?

Huang Xiaoming was screaming and yelling, and she was at the height of her popularity, a top star in the Chinese entertainment industry. A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on, so what's wrong with her leaving?

Huang Xiaoming does frequent bars and nightclubs for drinks. What did she say wrong? What girlfriend can accept her boyfriend messing around like that?

Yang Ying can smoke, drink, and go to bars in private, but that's not the same thing!

Yang Ying went abroad to avoid the limelight, and the extensive reports in domestic media have not affected her for the time being, so let's leave that aside.

Take Liu Yifei for example. Coach Liu has been working as a coach at her friend's gym for more than half a month.

Because she doesn't have a certificate, she can only teach introductory classes. Fortunately, her skill level is sufficient for teaching introductory classes.

The students were initially very excited about Coach Liu's arrival, thinking, "Wow, a big star is here to teach us yoga!"

So every time get out of class ended, the students would surround Liu Yifei and keep asking her questions, wanting autographs, photos, and to chat with her.

But after more than half a month, the students' initial enthusiasm had long since faded. Coach Liu was very pretty, but her teaching level was no different from other coaches; she was just an ordinary coach.

But practicing in the same room as a big star has a lot of emotional value.

Coach Liu teaches 6 classes a day, each class lasting 1 hour.

Liu Yifei has been working for half a month and her teaching has been fine, but there is one hurdle she can't seem to overcome.

She felt embarrassed to recommend private lessons to her students, or to ask them to renew their courses or sign up for memberships.

But my friend also said that if you want to experience working life, you have to do the whole thing. Selling fitness products is also a coach's job. You actors are comfortable kissing in front of the camera, so why are you embarrassed to sell them now?

Liu Yifei knew that what he said made sense.

"If I had known, I would have become a saleswoman and sold goods. That way, I could have developed a thick skin." Liu Yifei was on her day off and came to Huairou to visit her husband. She complained to him about her life as a trainer. "It's been more than half a month, and I haven't sold a single personal training session. The gym has targets. If I can't sell a single session, I won't get any commission, and I won't even get my full salary."

"How much do you earn?"

"15,000 a month."

"That's not low." "If my performance doesn't meet the target, they'll deduct my pay. You need to help me figure out a way."

"How about I get you a membership card and buy you a few private coaching sessions?"

"That's no fun." Liu Yifei didn't want to use her husband's connections.

But Coach Liu came up with a terrible idea: she would use her husband and mother as sales practice subjects when she got home that night.

“Now, I’m a yoga instructor, and you are my potential students. I need to persuade you to renew your classes, sign up for a membership, buy private lessons, and so on,” Liu Yifei said, having changed into a vest and yoga pants and holding up a flyer from the store. “Just respond normally. If you want to buy, buy; if you don’t want to buy, don’t buy.”

My first practice target is Liu Xiaoli.

"Auntie."

"What did you call me?!"

Liu Yifei stomped her foot and said, "Now I'm the coach, and you're the student."

"Alright, alright, you can continue."

Li Qiutang sat on the sidelines watching the show, curious to see what kind of tricks she could pull off.

"Auntie, you've been working out at our gym for so long, how are you feeling?"

Liu Xiaoli was definitely going to make things difficult for her, so she said, "It's alright."

Liu Yifei continued, "If you feel it's just average now, you can find our private trainers for training in the future. Our private trainers are all coaches with many years of experience and have won many awards."

"Look, our store is having a promotion right now: buy two premium private lessons and get one free. It's a great deal, and we only have this kind of promotion every year. If you miss it, you'll have to wait another year."

Liu Xiaoli asked, "How much does one of your private lessons cost?"

"680 per session."

"You guys are too expensive."

Liu Yifei approached and said, "Here's what we'll do: I'll give you our internal price, 600, buy two get one free, and I'll also give you two bottles of laundry detergent. You can use them for half a year after you take them home."

"I'm only giving you this price because you're a regular customer of our store. I usually sell it to others for 680, and I don't even give away laundry detergent."

Liu Xiaoli said, "600 is still too expensive, you can lower the price a bit more."

Liu Yifei said, "The price really can't be lowered; it's all set by the store." After thinking for a moment, she added, "How about this, I'll give you more freebies, and I'll also give you a can of oil, which is about seventy or eighty yuan and will last you a long time."

Liu Xiaoli asked, "Is your oil healthy? Is it safe to eat?"

"Healthy, all big brands, we eat them ourselves."

Liu Xiaoli said, "Give me two buckets of oil."

Liu Yifei was in a dilemma and said, "Oh, I really can't do anything with you. Fine, I'll give you two bottles of laundry detergent and two bottles of cooking oil. How many lessons do you want to buy?"

"Let's buy two first. Why don't you buy two and get one free, making it three in total?"

"Hahaha!" Li Qiutang, who was watching the show, laughed heartily. "Alright, alright. Old ginger is spicier, you can't beat your mother."

Liu Yifei stomped her feet in anger: "Mom! How can you do this? You want so many free gifts just to buy two lessons! I'm not even making any money!"

"You didn't say how many you'd have to buy at the very least," Liu Xiaoli laughed. "Alright, alright, you guys have fun, I'm going out to take out the trash."

After Liu Xiaoli's outburst, Liu Yifei lost all interest in doing her sales practice.

On the contrary, Li Qiutang praised her for her good performance: "You were shameless enough to go out and sell. Do it like that tomorrow."

Before going to sleep that night, Li Qiutang leaned against the headboard, put down the documents, and prepared to sleep.

"Sir, our gym is having a promotion right now. Would you be interested in learning more?" Liu Yifei, dressed in yoga pants, appeared before me, looking shy.

Li Qiutang was wide awake and full of energy.

"I want to know more. Please give me a proper introduction to your activities."

She just likes to come up with new and interesting things for herself.

But Li Qiutang always manages to be controlled by Xiao Liu.
