Chapter 8.2

On that topic, Chief Ma was a bastard who left his work to others and was the supervisor who forced overtime work on the employees needlessly.

"Did you win the lottery? It's scary how people can change overnight."

"I don't know, but you can continue to think about it. I won't bother receiving severance pay, so take care of my resignation yourself. Adios."

"Wait. Even if you leave the company, you have to give a notice period before resigning. And don't speak so lackadaisically."

"Did you not hear me? Are you deaf? Please respect yourself. Since we're both on the same level now, since you won't talk to me normally, I'll stoop down to your level. And I said I wouldn't receive severance pay on the condition of not giving that notice. Or would you rather I take a severance pay anyway?"

Lee Hyun-woo, who was in his 4th year at the company this year, had about 7.5 million won saved up as severance pay.

The money to be given to him though was 10 million won since they had to pay one more month's wage as an excuse for his resignation.

Director Ma's calculations were quick.

"Great. Alright, and you won't receive your salary for this month either. I will approve your resignation on that condition."

"Heh, is that it?"

The chief acknowledged the resignation, spitting out flat words as if he would not be able to speak respectfully even if he was to die.

Lee Hyun-woo snorted at the sight.

"Ha...."

Lee Hyun-woo, who left off the company building, sighed.

It was a sigh mixed with complex emotions. His fingertips were still trembling.

However, a sense of accomplishment that he had accomplished something of himself and a lingering sense of victory that he had given Manager Ma a shot for the shitty person he was every day these past 4 years filled his heart.

'Goodbye to the sick bitch.'

And after a while, Lee Hyun-woo's KakaoTalk erupted with messages from his former co-workers.

'What happened? Did you even win the lottery? Are you moving to a good place? Etc.'

A lot of questions flew in.

After Lee Hyeon-woo roughly replied that something good had happened, he put down his smartphone and looked ahead to the future.

There was a huge gym that used the entire first and second floors of the building in front of him.

Lee Hyun-woo wanted to make changes to his body primarily in order to live a changed life.

In the past, he had neglected exercising be causing his life was too hectic.

He felt that his body was getting more stiff and cranky as he got older day by day.

And...

'I felt it in Hana Kim's gaze yesterday.'

Until she had sex with Lee Hyeon-woo, she didn't feel an ounce of attraction to him.

It was just treating a pushover to draw out the cash from him.

Such a case should no longer affect him anymore.

Even if you couldn't help his height, he could still change his body with effort.

'So let's try.'

"Welcome. Is this your first visit?"

Maybe it was because it was a large gym, but there was a designated information desk staff wearing a gym uniform which seemed unusual to Hyeon-Woo Lee.

The receptionist welcomed Lee Hyeon-woo as he entered.

"Yes. I'm here to find out about personal trainers."

"Oh, are you serious? All of our gym trainers are famous people. Welcome. Shall we go to the counselling room first?"

After waiting for a moment in a side room, a beautiful woman in leggings entered.

As soon as she entered, she scanned Lee Hyun-woo from head to toe.

And then she looked at Lee Hyun-woo with a little disregard, as though she didn't put him in her eyes.

Hyeon-Woo Lee had been insensitive to such gazes until now.

However, after meeting Kim Hana the day prior, he could now notice that type of gaze.

She made a guess what his level was by looking at his clothes and atmosphere.

If he was judged to be of low rank, he would be thoroughly ignored.

Before the woman could speak her words, Hyeon-Woo Lee spoke first.

"Are you sure you are my trainer?"

"Huh? No. It may or may not be the case just yet. First of all, we will assign you the most suitable trainer after consulting about your habits and sports inclinations."

To put it simply, did she want to establish whether he was someone who could make her money?

Hyeon-Woo Lee smiled.

He only had a single change in perspective, and he could now grasp things differently from what he had seen and heard before.

'No, maybe I was aware of it in the past but I subconsciously tried to ignore it. Even knowing it just makes me feel bad.'

But now he was of the group who didn't have to put up with it.

"That's fortunate. I have no desire to have you as my personal trainer."

"Yes...?"

The woman asked a little displeased.

But Lee Hyun-woo didn't care.

A well-maintained body was appetising, but that was all.

In terms of her appearance, she was inferior to Choi Soo-Hyun, and in terms of her personality, she was inferior to Kim Ha-na.

The only advantage was the way her leggings curved around her bountiful booty.

So he didn't have to look good in front of such a woman.

"First, let me tell you my conditions. The basics are that I'll be coming here every day and working as much as I'm asked. I'll require a PT for seven days a week. The deadline will be when I lose all my excess weight... No, until I'm satisfied. First of all, I will pay upfront for 3 months' pay for the PT."

The woman's expression, which had been ugly earlier because of Lee Hyun-woo's choice of language, morphed. She suddenly spoke in an exceptionally sweet tone.

"Member. Are you saying you're going to do personal training for 7 days a week for 3 months?"

"Yes. And if I'm satisfied, I plan to give them a success reward at the end of it as well. How much is 3 months with a PT?"

"Our centre costs 70,000 won per session, and 60,000 won per session if you're working with a PT long term i.e. for more than 6 months."

"Then it's about 6.3 million won upfront for 3 months, right? I will set the success fee to be 3 million won, which is half of that."

The woman's eyes changed.

Her eyes were full of greed for his money.

"Now let's hear about the PTs. It'll be my first time with a PT, but I heard that you are usually presented with a list of personal trainers and their portfolios to choose from."

"Yes, that's right. Member, are you willing to receive personal training from me? I will manage everything in detail: from your exercise plans to diet management. Of course, the schedule would also be flexibly adjusted just for you."

"Hm… I don't know. Is there any reason why I should?"

Just as expected, the woman who had brushed off Hyeon-Woo Lee earlier was now earnestly appealing to him.

However, Lee Hyun-woo did not end up choosing her as his trainer.

It was also an informed decision that came about from not being starving for womanly affection because of the sex he had all night.

'I thought it was just going to be female streamers that I'd meet in real life for my wealth. But based on the case of Hana Kim and now, it seems there will be countless women who will be seduced by my wealth going forward.'

In the end, Hyeon-Woo Lee chose the trainer with the most experience at this gym.
