Affection System: I have everything the goddess wants.

As Cao Xu listened, his gaze swept over the gym-goers in the venue, and occasionally a system notification would ring in his mind:

[Target Person: Li Na] [Appearance: 82 points] [Body: 88 points] [Occupation: Unemployed] [Favorability: 5 (Passerby)]

[Target Person: Zhang Qian] [Appearance: 84 points] [Body: 90 points] [Occupation: Yoga Instructor] [Favorability Rating: 7 (Passerby)]

Cao Xu chuckled inwardly. The girls and trainers at Wu Zhe's gym were all pretty good, and he got system notifications just by taking a quick stroll around. It was just that the favorability rewards were so-so.

At that moment, his gaze fell on the weightlifting area not far away, where a girl wearing a blue short-sleeved shirt, white athletic shorts, and a baseball cap was lifting weights. Her posture was upright, her movements were standard, and she had a capable air about her.

The system notification sounded again:

Cao Xu pointed at the girl and said to Wu Zhe, "Brother Wu, is that a fitness instructor too? Can I choose her to teach me? She looks quite professional."

Wu Zhe looked in the direction he pointed and nodded with a smile: "Brother, you have good taste! Her name is Mao Yuetong, one of the most professional coaches here. Not only is she highly professional, but she is also very stable and has never had any messy gossip."

As you know, it's inevitable that some trainers and students get too close in gyms and use certain methods to sell classes. We can't explicitly forbid it, but Mao Yuetong is different. I've been running this gym for so long, and I've never heard a bad word about her. Her reputation is exceptionally good.

As he spoke, Wu Zhe raised his hand and called out to Mao Yuetong, "Tongtong, come here for a second!"

Hearing the call, Mao Yuetong stopped what she was doing, quickly walked over, and looked at Wu Zhe with a professional smile: "Brother Wu, you wanted to see me?"

Wu Zhe patted Cao Xu on the shoulder and introduced him, "Tongtong, this is my neighbor and also my friend Cao Xu. This is his first time at our gym. He wants to work out properly. Can you give him some pointers?"

Cao Xu smiled and extended his hand: "Coach Mao, hello. I'll have to trouble you to take care of me from now on."

Mao Yuetong also reached out and shook hands: "Mr. Cao, just call me Tongtong."

[System Notification: Mao Yuetong's favorability has increased by 10 points, currently at 16 points!]

Cao Xu: Okay, Brother Wu, you go ahead and do your thing. Tongtong and I are going to talk about training. Don't worry about us.

Wu Zhe smiled and nodded: "Okay, you guys chat first. If you don't understand anything, just ask Tongtong. She's very professional. Don't rush off later. Let's have dinner together tonight."

After saying that, he turned and went back to his office.

Mao Yuetong spoke respectfully and warmly: "Mr. Cao, I wonder what aspect you mainly want to train this time?"

Our gym members have different needs. Some want to lose weight and shape their bodies, get rid of excess fat, and make their bodies more proportionate.

Some want to build muscle and develop muscle definition to make their bodies look more powerful;

Others want to improve their physical fitness, alleviate sub-health conditions, or specifically train certain body parts, such as the waist, abdomen, arms, or glutes. You can tell us your needs.

"I'm a bit skinny right now, and I mainly want to build muscle. My goal is to have the kind of slender muscles that look slim in clothes but muscular when undressed. It doesn't have to be too exaggerated, just good-looking and healthy."

Mao Yuetong's tone became increasingly professional: "Mr. Cao, your need is very common and is the first choice for many men nowadays. This type of thin muscle is not only healthy but also in line with the general aesthetic, and it is not as hard to train as bodybuilding."

If you want to build this kind of thin muscle, my recommended plan is: train 3-4 days a week, training different muscle groups, for example, train chest and shoulders on Monday, back on Tuesday, arms on Wednesday, legs on Thursday, and waist and abdomen on Friday, and adjust and rest as needed in between to give the muscles enough recovery time.

The training focuses on low to medium weights and high repetitions, emphasizing muscle definition and firmness, combined with appropriate aerobic exercise to prevent fat accumulation.

Dietary considerations are also important. Increase your intake of high-quality protein, such as chicken breast, fish, shrimp, eggs, and milk, while moderately supplementing with carbohydrates and controlling fat intake. This will help you achieve the best muscle-building results.

Cao Xu nodded repeatedly and said with a smile, "I'll listen to you. You're very professional. I'll do it your way."

By the way, how much do your classes cost? I'll ask you for guidance when I come to train from now on.

Mao Yuetong paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mr. Cao, since you're the boss's friend, you don't need to buy the course, right? If you come to train and have any questions, I'll guide you when I have time. You don't need to be so polite."

Cao Xu waved his hand, his tone firm: "One thing at a time. I can't let you work for nothing. You still have to buy the course, otherwise I'll feel embarrassed to come here so often."

Mao Yuetong felt a warmth in her heart and secretly admired the boss's friend for being so generous and tactful. Her smile became even more genuine: "Thank you so much, Mr. Cao!"

My private lessons cost 300 yuan per session. There are discounts for bulk purchases, such as buying 30 lessons and getting 5 free, or buying 50 lessons and getting 10 free.

Cao Xu replied without hesitation, "Okay, then get me an annual membership and 50 of your private lessons. Where do I pay?"

[System Notification: Mao Yuetong's favorability has increased by 10 points, currently at 26 points!]

Mao Yuetong was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Cao, for your support! There are a total of 60 lessons. Just let me know in advance when you want to come for a workout, and let's add each other as friends."

The two walked to the front desk together. Cao Xu scanned the code to pay and signed up for the annual card and private lessons contract. The annual card is now 2000 yuan, and 50 lessons cost 15000 yuan.

He then followed Mao Yuetong to the personal training area and had a simple physical test, which measured his body fat percentage, muscle mass, basal metabolic rate, and other data. Mao Yuetong recorded the data while explaining his current physical condition to him.

Afterwards, I led him through the first day of acclimatization training, teaching him some basic equipment usage methods and movement specifications, patiently and meticulously throughout the process.

Halfway through the training, Wu Zhe came over and saw Cao Xu training diligently. He laughed and said, "Brother, you're too kind! I gave you a trial card so you could come and have fun, why did you buy a yearly membership and private lessons?"

Cao Xu stopped what he was doing, wiped the sweat from his face, and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, I can't come and play for free every day and take advantage of you, can I?"

Besides, since you've asked Coach Mao to instruct me, I can't let him work for nothing. Buying lessons is the right thing to do; you can just treat me to a couple more meals in the future.

Wu Zhe laughed heartily: "No problem! Not just two meals, but ten or eight meals a day are no problem. You've trained enough, right? After you finish, let's go eat together. Tongtong can come too. Let's thank him for the 50 lessons. We'll go for a light meal, healthy and delicious, perfect for fitness enthusiasts."

Mao Yuetong nodded quickly: "Okay, Brother Wu, then I'll treat you later. Thank you for the company's recognition of my business capabilities, and thank you for Mr. Cao's performance."

Cao Xu: "Two grown men taking you out to eat, how can we let you pay? Today, Brother Wu has to treat us. I'm his annual card customer, a god-like figure who pays for the whole year, hahaha."

Wu Zhe: "That's right, I'll make the arrangements for today."
