The office area of Dingtian Soccer Club .
Xiong Zhou walked to the door and looked at the plate that read, "General Manager's Office . " After smoothing his collar, he knocked at the door .
"Please come in!" a euphonious female voice came out . Xiong Zhou took a deep breath, then he opened the door and entered the office .
Yunan Xiao was sitting at her table; several documents placed in front of her .
Xiong Zhou walked to the table seriously, prepared to accept the instructions of his boss .
As a member of the club's management level, Xiong Zhou knew the beautiful General Manager in front of him was the only daughter of the group's Chairman . Therefore, Xiong Zhou showed respect every time he met Yunan Xiao .
Yunan Xiao picked up three documents and handed them to Xiong Zhou, and she said, "These three coaches of the League One clubs are rejected . Harman is not satisfied with coaches of the Super League clubs, let alone the coaches from League One clubs . By the way, have you received any reply from Coach Sun of Shanggang?"
"That is why I came to speak with you . Coach Sun has replied to me . He said his child is still attending high school in Shanggang, and he doesn't want to come here," Xiong Zhou said .
"In that case, let's stop requesting him for now," Yunan Xiao said helplessly .
"Besides, Chairman Fang of Dalu Group recommended a coach to me . I have his resume here . " As Xiong Zhou spoke, he handed the folder to Yunan Xiao .
"Chairman Fang called me about this candidate . He said this coach has a background of track and field events, and used to act as the physical trainer of the National Table Tennis Team . I think he must be competent enough if he had a foothold in the National Table Tennis Team . Furthermore, Chairman Fang is our shareholder; respecting his opinion is of utmost importance . So I have accepted his recommendation," Yunan Xiao said, taking the folder . After opening the folder, she saw Dai Li's picture of Dai Li .
"He looks familiar to me . Dai Li? The name also sounds familiar . " Yunan Xiao started to read the working experience of Dai Li .
"Now I remember, it's him! He is the coach I met during that marathon . " Yunan Xiao recognized Dai Li quickly .
During the Half Marathon held at Jinyan Lake, Dai Li left a deep impression on Yunan Xiao . Dai Li's help to Dalu Fang, as well his victory in the end made Yunan Xiao remember him . After looking at Dai Li's picture and reading his working experience, Yunan Xiao could remember that marathon clearly .
He has been acting as a physical trainer on the National Table Tennis Team these last few years . Now he is applying for the physical trainer position in our club .
Yunan Xiao smiled suddenly . She placed Dai Li's resume on the resumes of another two people, and said, "Translate these three resumes into English, and then send them to Coach Harman . "

"Look, these are the resumes for the three physical trainers found by Ms . Xiao . " Harman handed the three resumes to Claude .
After taking the resumes, Claude opened the first one .
"Chowtai Kim, a Korean . He used to act as the physical trainer in Chunnam Dragons Club in the K-league of South Korea . " As Claude spoke, he nodded . "This one is okay . He has coaching experience in the professional soccer league, and the K-league is pretty impressive in Asia . "
Then Claude opened the second resume .
"Haoxin Liu, a guy who was born in Hong Kong and brought up in Canada . He was a professional hockey player for a little while, and then acted as the physical trainer in the Vancouver Canucks of the NHL . " Claude frowned slightly, then he said, "This guy's experience is good . After all, the NHL is one of the top four leagues in the United States . The level of their coaches should be fine . However, hockey is different than soccer . Maybe he will need some time to adapt to soccer, which is new to him . "
Finally, Claude opened the third resume .
"Dai Li, is he also a coach? He is so young! It seems he is as young as our players . He has a background in track and field events, and used to act as the physical trainer of the table tennis event . Haha, they are kidding me, right?" Dissatisfaction flashed in Claude's eyes . Obviously, both Dai Li's age and working experience were not satisfactory to Claude .
Dai Li's experience as the physical trainer in the National Table Tennis Team was very impressive for many people in China . However, to Claude, Dai Li's working experience meant nothing .
As a physical trainer of the soccer event, Claude could be considered one of the best coaches in the world . To him, Asian physical trainers were far behind their European counterparts, let alone a physical trainer of a "small ball" event like table tennis .

"I have asked Xiong Zhou, who sent the resumes to me . According to his information, this table tennis coach was recommended by a shareholder of the club . " Harman looked at Claude with an expression that said, "You should know that . " Then he said, "It's okay, he used to be a coach of the track and field team, so he should be good for something . You just make do with him . "
"That's the only way out . " Claude sighed helplessly . "I shouldn't have had high hopes for Asian physical trainers . "
. . .
Dai Li signed his name on the contract .
The Dingtian Soccer Club offered Dai Li an annual salary of RMB 300,000 . Although it was not very high in the first-tier cities, Dai Li was quite satisfied with the amount .
Besides the annual salary, Dai Li would also get some additional income, such as the travel allowance for the team's away games . If the team won a game, Dai Li could get a bonus as a coach . If the team won the championship of China's Super League, or even the championship of the AFC Champions League, the club would also pay Dai Li a bonus .
"Coach Kim, Coach Liu, and Coach Li, please allow me to welcome you to join us on behalf of the club . " Yunan Xiao smiled at the three of them .
Yunan Xiao's voice lingered in Dai Li's ears after he walked out of the meeting room .
This General Manager is really a beautiful girl! She's so young, she must be about the same age as me, Dai Li thought .

Dai Li had met Yunan Xiao during the Half Marathon held at Jinyan Lake, but that had been a long time ago, and Dai Li had forgotten much of what had occurred on that day .
Today, when Dai Li met Yunan Xiao again, he still found her very attractive .
However, Dai Li was quite sober and he didn't have any inappropriate ambitions on her . On Dai Li's way to the meeting, someone working in the club had mentioned Yunan Xiao . This pretty General Manager was the darling daughter of the Chairman of Dingtian Group, and could basically be considered the princess of Dingtian Group . This kind of rich girl who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth was out of Dai Li's reach, since he was just an ordinary person . Yunan Xiao and Dai Li were people from two different worlds .
. . .
"The three new physical trainers have signed their contracts, and will start work tomorrow . Do you have any plan in using them?" Harman said, picking up his coffee and taking a sip .
"That Chowtai Kim from South Korea was a soccer physical trainer before . I plan to let him participate in the formulation of next two weeks of training plans, so that I can check his level before giving him any concrete work . Haoxin Liu was brought up in Canada, so he should have no problem in verbal communication with the foreign players . I plan to arrange him to do the strength training . As for that table tennis coach…"
Claude's expression was quite troubled . "For now, I really don't know what he could do . He is a person from a different world!"
"My old friend, I have a suggestion for you . " Harman put down his coffee mug, then said, "Several players on our team are not very self-disciplined . After months of rest, they have put on a lot of weight . Now the league is about to start, but they are still overweight . "
"I got you! The table tennis coach could be instructed to help those players lose weight . It's really a good idea!" Claude heaved a long sigh of relief . "I think that table tennis coach should be qualified for such easy work . "Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
