Chapter 30: Demanding Recruitment Requirements

At this moment, Wang Qingqing walked over with the keys. Gao Yun exchanged a few words with Wang Jian, and the two left the sales office, boarding the community’s shuttle vehicle to head toward the luxury villa at 18 Shoushan Fuhai.

Nestled at the foot of the beautiful Shoushan Mountain, amidst lush landscaping, it was a delight to ride the electric shuttle past rows of townhouses and semi-detached villas, admiring how the architecture blended seamlessly into the surrounding scenery.

Within two or three minutes, they arrived at Villa 18 in the detached villa zone. The distance between the detached units was generous, ensuring ample privacy for the residents. The grass in the front and back yards was meticulously trimmed, appearing lush and vibrant. The three-story villa itself was composed of light gray, pale yellow, and white, presenting an atmosphere that was grand, aesthetically pleasing, and pragmatic. Analyzing its design, color palette, and materials, it was clearly a modern-style villa—exactly to Gao Yun’s taste.

After stepping out of the vehicle, the two walked through the front yard and into the villa. Wang Qingqing began a continuous presentation, while Gao Yun nodded while observing the interior. The interior decor maintained the same modern style as the exterior, minimalist and beautiful, with subtle details revealing a understated luxury.

The ground floor covered 300 square meters. The entrance faced an expansive living room 15 meters wide, which connected to an 8-meter-wide terrace. On the other side of the living room were the dining area and a kitchen featuring a fusion of Chinese and Western styles. Further in, there was a tea room for receiving guests. With an off-white base and open layout, the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows provided abundant natural light in every area. From the living room and tea room, one could see the greenery of the backyard and the distant Shoushan Mountain, a view that was truly refreshing. As for the furniture, the term "luxury finish" said it all; both the spatial arrangement and the color coordination were impeccable.

Taking the stairs to the basement level, which also spanned 300 square meters, one found another living room, an entertainment room, and three bedroom suites. The second floor was the master level, covering 200 square meters, including a study, a walk-in closet, and two bedroom suites, each connected to a terrace from which one could lean against Shoushan and gaze out at the coastline.

Gao Yun toured the villa twice, examining every detail, and was thoroughly satisfied. There was nothing to complain about; even the bathrooms were larger than his original bedroom and more luxurious than his old living room.

"Let’s proceed with the payment and paperwork." Without much hesitation, Gao Yun decided to buy it. He asked, "Is there a discount for paying in full?"

Even though she had anticipated it, Wang Qingqing couldn't help but feel excited. "Yes, yes! The original price is 8.8 million, and if you pay in full, you get an immediate discount of 400,000!"

Gao Yun nodded. "I see that the villa is missing some bedding. Can you help me sort that out?"

Bedding? I can do that! Let me do it! Wang Qingqing’s mind wandered, a silly smile spreading across her face. However, under Gao Yun's suspicious gaze, she immediately regained her composure. "Sir, no problem at all. We have partnerships with several vendors. Once we return to the sales office, I will provide you with a list of contacts. You can choose one, and they will come directly to your home for custom measurements."

Back at the sales office, Gao Yun completed the housing purchase procedures. He chose a top-ranked bedding company from the list and called them, requesting they send someone to the villa to inspect the style and create a few fitting proposals for him. Afterward, Gao Yun asked Wang Jian to recommend a housekeeping agency, as he intended to hire a nanny.

The requirements for this nanny were slightly demanding. She would not only be responsible for cleaning the villa and maintaining the front and back yards, but she also had to be an excellent cook. She needed to know both Chinese and Western cuisine, understand what a "fitness meal" was, and be well-versed in nutritional balance.

In the fitness circle, there has always been a saying: "Thirty percent training, seventy percent diet." While some argue over the exact ratio, everyone agrees on the importance of nutrition in fitness. Even if it isn't thirty-seventy, it is at least fifty-fifty; the two are complementary and indispensable. As an experienced coach, Gao Yun understood this principle deeply. Nutrition is truly vital.

If calories are too low, muscle mass decreases, strength wanes, and training becomes ineffective. If calories are too high, strength increases, but it leads to fat accumulation and a bloated physique, losing the aesthetic form. Even if the calories are perfectly balanced, if the intake of proteins, carbohydrates, and fats is skewed, the results will be the same—hard training will yield only half the results.

He clearly remembered the caloric content of every vegetable, meat, and fruit. He could recite the necessary nutritional components for different demographics for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Knowing this, Gao Yun had scientifically set his daily caloric intake and the proportions of protein, fat, and carbohydrates, creating a meal plan to match. By strictly following these plans every day—never eating more or less—he had achieved the enviable physique he had today.

In fact, this goes beyond just the fitness and bodybuilding world. Renowned athletes in football, basketball, badminton, boxing, and other disciplines pay high prices to hire nutritionists to manage their diets. Famous examples include LeBron James and Cristiano Ronaldo. Why do they maintain excellent athletic form and formidable physical condition at the age of thirty-five? It is because they have private nutritionists, chefs, and even therapists, doctors, and physical trainers. These people stand behind the athletes, racking their brains to keep their bodies at peak performance to reach higher goals.

In the future, for Gao Yun to better break through his physical attribute caps, it would be inevitable for him to emulate these sports superstars and assemble a team dedicated to his body. However, that is not something that can be done in a day or two. Building such a professional team tailored to the future development of his own physical data requires not only a large sum of money but also time. For now, Gao Yun just wanted to save the time he spent cooking and delegate it to a nanny, so he could spend his energy on more meaningful things.

After stating his requirements over the phone, the agency informed him by the afternoon that two candidates met the criteria and were ready to interview. Gao Yun drove to the agency, where the two candidates were already waiting.

One was forty-two years old, named Li Li, short and plump with a kind face. The other was thirty-five, named Wang Lina, with a well-proportioned figure and refined movements. With her face framed by a pair of glasses, she looked more like a teacher than a domestic worker, if not for her uniform.

Gao Yun scanned them both and said, "I am a professional in the fitness industry, and I am extremely strict about my diet. Taste is secondary; the primary concerns are nutrition and total caloric intake. It must be precise—too much leads to fat, too little results in no training effect."

"Do you both know the approximate protein, carbohydrate, and fat content of various ingredients? Can you estimate the calories of a dish?"

"I do."
"No problem."
Both nodded in unison.

Gao Yun said, "Alright, here is what we will do. I will give each of you 500 yuan to buy groceries. Once you have bought them, go to my house and cook a meal. Whoever cooks better will get the job."

Both agreed. Wang Lina asked, "Are there any specific requirements?"

"Of course there are requirements." Gao Yun thought for a moment, checked the time on his phone—it was 1:30 PM—and said, "I need to eat this meal before 3:00 PM. The total caloric intake must be 900 calories, with 80 grams of carbohydrates, 50 grams of protein, and 17 grams of fat."
