Chapter 14
"Excuse me, are you still recruiting coaches?" Luo Jingyao was speaking faster than her brain at this moment.
Fortunately, she guessed correctly this time. The female voice on the other side suddenly became enthusiastic after she explained her purpose: "We are hiring, we are hiring, but where did you see the recruitment information?"
As expected for an informal training camp, the person on the other end of the phone was quite alert.
"I also heard about it from a friend. She lost weight at your place before and she said you seem to be short of a coach recently." Luo Jingyao raised her hand and scratched her cheek uncomfortably, and replied with determination.
Regardless of whether this rat crossing the street with incomplete procedures dares to post recruitment information on a formal platform, the introduction by friends is always the least likely to go wrong and is safer.
"Ah... Our training camp has recently recruited a lot of new students, so we are indeed short of two professional fitness coaches. Do you have the corresponding certificates or work experience?" the woman asked again, as if she had no doubts at all.
"Yes, I have been working in the related industry for more than ten years." Luo Jingyao ignored Pang Guang who was winking at her frantically and just said this to avoid the main point.
She has a lot of national and world-class certificates and honors at home, but it is obviously not appropriate to show them off in this situation. If she really lists them one by one, the other party will definitely be scared and cut off the call immediately.
Even if she is really willing to work, people have to consider whether they can afford to pay her salary.
For example, these informal weight loss training camps are all about maximizing profits. What are they going to do with their free time? Burn incense?
Sure enough, the woman on the other end of the phone agreed very readily: "Really? That's great. How about this, if you have time tomorrow, come over for an interview. If it's a good fit, we can sign the contract on the spot."
"Um... um... OK, No. 227, Chongli Road, Huaidong District... See you tomorrow." Luo Jingyao repeated the address and ended the call after seeing Lin Jiafan nod slightly.
"Or maybe this major is popular, boss. I think you asked Coach Luo to call and pretend to be a customer who wanted to consult about weight loss. Look, he found a new job for himself in minutes!" Pang Guang sat down on the other end of the sofa with emotion, and while speaking, he took the time to give Luo Jingyao a thumbs up.
Accepting the young man's praise with a clear conscience, she raised her head slightly and handed the phone back to the man who had been leaning against the coffee table. "You already know the address. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Jingyao was afraid that something might happen, so she grabbed her bag and tried to run away.
Seeing this, Pang Guang hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay: "Eh? Eh? Eh? Coach Luo, aren't you planning to go with us tomorrow? Captain Lin can still apply for your fieldwork tuition fees."
"No thanks," she quickly waved her hand. "What if I pass the interview tomorrow and my boss forces me to sign a contract? I've already signed a labor contract with the Public Security Bureau. That wouldn't be appropriate."
Having said this, Luo Jingyao subconsciously paused, then looked straight at Lin Jiafan, who was silent at the moment: "Besides, doing something that goes against your conscience will come at a different price."
"..." Lin Jiafan slowly raised the corners of his lips and looked at her with interest for a few seconds, knowing full well that this was the other party's powerful rebuttal to the 'one thousand six hundred and eighty-eight' he had just said.
Luo Jingyao, who had been enduring for a long time and finally felt relieved, raised her eyebrows proudly, puffed out her chest like a general who had just won a battle, waved goodbye again, turned around and was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiafan's voice suddenly rang out from behind him: "I heard that Coach Luo also owns a flower shop?"
"My family is having a wedding early next month, and we need to buy a lot of flowers to decorate the venue. I went to other flower shops and they said it would cost over 100,000 yuan..."
"I can!" Luo Jingyao turned around instantly, and the chest that had just been straightened up shrank back again. The smile on her face was a very formal enthusiasm.
It's all for living, it's not shameful.
She comforted herself and nodded vigorously, repeating her words with a firm look in her eyes: "I can do it. We are half colleagues now. For the smooth progress of everyone's work, what's wrong with me going to the training camp for an interview?!"
"The main reason is that I trust Officer Lin's character. Once I promise something to someone, I will not go back on my word, okay?" Luo Jingyao said, and took out a business card from her bag, took two steps forward and stuffed it into Lin Jiafan's pocket.
He suppressed his smile and glanced at his jacket pocket. When he raised his face again, Lin Jiafan regained his original serious expression: "Since we are half colleagues, Coach Shan Luo should give me a discount for such a big job, right?"
Luo Jingyao bit her back teeth, her lips moved slightly, and her words were somewhat emotional: "15% off, it can't be any lower!"
Who knew that the next second, she clearly saw the cunning in the depths of Lin Jiafan's black eyes.
"I was originally going to offer a 10% discount, but since Coach Luo is so generous, I'll respectfully comply." Lin Jiafan then passed by her and said, "See you tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM in front of the training camp."
Luo Jingyao naturally did not miss the barely perceptible chuckle. She took a few deep breaths before opening the office door and walking out.
The next morning at 8:50.
It rained heavily last night, and the weather this morning was foggy, with the unique coolness of early autumn in the air.
After getting out of the taxi, Luo Jingyao subconsciously wrapped her baseball jacket tightly around her body, and after figuring out the direction, she walked straight towards the jeep parked on the side of the road in the white fog with very low visibility.
Boom boom boom.
As she knocked on the window rather impolitely, the driver's window slowly rolled down, revealing Lin Jiafan's handsome face, which still had a hint of sleepiness. Because he wasn't wearing glasses, his upturned eyes were particularly noticeable.
This person might have just been sleeping. Looking at the clothes he was wearing, he was still wearing the same ones from yesterday. It seemed that he had been busy all night again.
With such an outrageous work intensity, is it really true that people won’t die suddenly?
Luo Jingyao frowned in confusion, but she knew how to maintain a normal social distance and didn't ask any more questions. She just said lightly: "The time I agreed with the owner of the training camp will be here soon. Will you send someone to go in with me, or...?"
"In order to avoid alerting the other party, you should go in alone to check the situation first. Take this communicator with you and remember to press this button if you encounter danger." Lin Jiafan said as he handed her something that looked exactly like a Bluetooth headset.
"The local police station and special patrol officers are already in place. Don't worry, we won't let anything happen to you."
"Yeah, I know." Luo Jingyao had never worried about this. She fumbled to put on the communicator and raised her leg to walk in.
"Wait." Unexpectedly, Lin Jiafan stretched out his voice, stretched out his arm and put a piece of breakfast under her nose.
Luo Jingyao took the breakfast in a daze and felt the warmth coming through the brown paper bag.
However, she quickly suppressed the strange emotions that suddenly emerged from her heart, and walked towards the gate of the address given by the training camp owner, holding a meat bun in her mouth and swinging her ponytail.
This is a shopping mall with a fairly large area. Perhaps there was a problem with the site selection when it was built. Even though there are many residential areas within a few kilometers, it cannot change the dreary look of the building.
Only after entering the mall did Luo Jingyao realize that this place was more than just languishing. The glass facades of the rows of abandoned businesses, illuminated by the dimly lit bulbs on the rooftops, reflected a deep, eerie light.
Because there were too few customers every day, even the escalators and elevators were on strike. She could only follow the signs on the ground and hanging above and found the stairs leading to the basement floor with great difficulty.
Will this damn place really not scare away consumers?
She had an indescribable expression on her face and was complaining in her heart. Finally, after going down dozens of steps, she saw the sign of "Victoria's Secret Slimming Training Camp" hanging on the wall in front of her. Below it was a big red arrow pointing to the right, which was very soulful.
Following the instructions, Luo Jingyao walked forward and pushed open the heavy security door of the shopping mall. Then a burst of passionate slogans suddenly entered her ears.
The air was filled with passionate and dynamic music. She stretched her neck and took a look, and saw several people sweating profusely on a field not far ahead.
Luo Jingyao didn't speak immediately, but instead strolled slowly around the entire training camp.
The training camp's venue appears to be quite spacious at first glance, but the zoning issue is a bit of a headache.
For example, a few people on the east side were doing aerobics, and only two or three meters away there were people doing strength training with loud music. The roar of the action coach on the side was completely drowned out by the music, which made the training almost in vain.
Not only will the training be in vain, but you may also end up with knee effusion, lumbar muscle strain and comminuted fractures.
The corner of her eye twitched, but she couldn't help but walked into the equipment training area. She casually held the barbell on the shoulders of a girl who was doing weighted squats, and stretched out her other hand to help her get the correct hip flexion posture.
"This way your waist won't feel sore. Also, don't blindly increase the weight in the early stages of exercise, or you will get hurt if you're not careful." At the end, she did not forget to carefully remind the other party.
The girl nodded gratefully. She must have mistaken her for the coach of the training camp and didn't feel anything was wrong at all.
Just as Luo Jingyao stood there and continued to observe whether the girl's movements were standard, a questioning voice came from behind her.
"Hello, are you Miss Luo here for an interview?"
She subconsciously turned around and extended her hand to the newcomer: "Hello, are you Boss Jiang?"
The woman nodded. She was about forty years old, wearing a long silk dress that showed off her figure, with curly hair and red lips. She looked quite bright and charming.
After a brief handshake, Boss Jiang leaned over and made an invitation. "Although Ms. Luo's few words just now clearly demonstrate your professionalism, since we're here, why don't we go to my office and talk first?"
Luo Jingyao naturally had no reason to disagree. The two of them passed through various sports areas. It was conservatively estimated that there were probably hundreds of students in this training camp.
No wonder there is a shortage of coaches.
“Hmm!”
As expected, one cannot do two things at once. The consequence of not looking at the road was that she bumped into someone head-on.
Raising her hand to rub her painful shoulder, Luo Jingyao subconsciously opened her mouth to apologize: "I'm so sorry..."
