The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 184 Work 1
What Secretary Liu said was nonsense.

Wherever Zhao Xiaochui is, things will only get better and better.

So Zhao Xiaochui didn't take it to heart; he just listened to the polite words and let them go.

Over the past few months, he has experienced so much, with one big and one small thing after another, as if it were a journey that would take an ordinary person several years to complete.

These experiences made him realize that the reason he received so much praise was not because he was so outstanding, but because he had a cheat code and possessed advantages that ordinary people could not reach!
Therefore, he did not take those compliments to heart.

The only praise he can accept is when customers feel physical relief and have their problems resolved after receiving the service. That is the reward he deserves for his own efforts and a real reflection of his value.

After a brief period of celebration and excitement, people quickly returned to their busy work in the conference room.

As Secretary Liu left, Zhao Xiaochui casually absorbed the fatigue and stagnation that had accumulated on his back from being so busy, and then turned and left the meeting room.

He had planned to explain all external affairs today, but the new legal counsel was still stuttering, so he had to postpone some of the external matters for two days.

Although a small loose end was left, Zhao Xiaochui was genuinely happy to be able to get back to work.

What made him even happier was the feeling of spending 2500 million yuan in one go today. That sense of satisfaction far surpassed eating a gourmet meal, buying the latest flagship phone, or even buying the luxury car he had always dreamed of.

Yu Xiaoning once said that "symbolic consumption" satisfies external needs such as displaying social status and personal identity, and the pleasure brought by this type of consumption is often short-lived and empty.

But today, this 2500 million investment has brought peace of mind to employees, development of the company, and the dependence of dozens or even hundreds of people on him. The satisfaction he has gained is long-term, profound, and even substantial—this is his current rudimentary understanding.

He didn't know if this was a more advanced or mature mindset, but he vaguely understood that while material advancement might be achieved through a "golden finger" (a powerful tool or advantage), spiritual growth was much more difficult and required him to comprehend and cultivate himself.

The former requires him, the old man in dire straits, the sanitation worker, and even a five-year-old child to risk their lives for a peaceful and fair business environment.

The latter requires him to gradually come to understand it himself.

Let's get to work!
…………

Since the "Easy Walk" system restricted the entry time for pre-booked customers, the waiting area is no longer a place for elderly people to relax and take advantage of deals.

The massage parlor was much quieter now.

The air is filled with a subtle blend of sandalwood and lavender aromas, creating a refreshing and soothing atmosphere. Soft lighting casts a warm glow on the walls, while gentle music plays in the air, further enhancing the relaxation of customers.

The young women assisting the visually impaired guided the technicians who were starting their sessions and the customers who were leaving. Their voices were soft and sweet, like a gentle spring breeze. The steam from the tea area and the sounds of the waitresses moving around mingled together, and with the aromatherapy and soft background music, the whole relaxed and leisurely atmosphere was elevated, becoming more professional and comfortable.

The modular partitions have all been opened, and the 24 screen-partitioned massage beds are neatly arranged. For the five visually impaired technicians, the four independent rooms are equivalent to the boss's glass studio.

A studio—they dared not even dream of it, never even considered it, but those four partitioned rooms…

Gu Qiang had just finished a service at the nearest massage bed. The customer's sincere gratitude filled him with immense satisfaction. This feeling of being recognized was more important than anything else!

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, pressed his phone against his face, and set the countdown to eight minutes—the optimal length between services he had found in a month.

During those eight minutes, he gets a good rest, the previous customer has enough time to relax before leaving leisurely, and the next customer can calmly prepare. Everything is just right!

He knew that all the technicians at Easy Slow had been doing this for the past month.

Through his earpiece, he heard the soft voice of the young woman helping the blind ask him a question, which Gu Qiang politely declined.

He is visually impaired, not blind. He can see blurry figures, and the tactile paving under his feet guides him to any place where he can walk easily and slowly. Customers also unanimously avoid walking on the bright yellow paths, showing respect for these special massage therapists in their own way. Gu Qiang didn't go to the rest area to prepare. After setting the countdown, he took two steps to the nearest cubicle, then set up his tiger-taming stance and focused intently on the situation inside.

Da Qiao personally taught him how to perform the Tiger-Taming Stake, breaking it down and explaining it in detail. The other three technicians received the same treatment.

From movements to breathing, when Gu Qiang had fully mastered it, he always felt like there was a membrane blocking his body. Da Qiao said that if he could break through it, he could be like him...

He was in the cubicle, serving the first customer who had booked a premium package.

price……

888!

The mentor-apprentice commission model that his "master" and boss, Zhao Xiaochui, just mentioned in the earpiece was prepared for Da Qiao and the girls on the second floor.

If he can break through that membrane, it's also prepared for him.

Gu Qiang didn't think any further, closed his eyes, and immersed himself in the special breathing of the Tiger-Taming Stance.

Behind me, the senior cleaning staff quickly changed the sheets, and new massage towels and other supplies were also placed in place.

He slowly finished his work and returned to the massage bed when new customers arrived.

He noticed the footsteps were a bit disordered and couldn't see the customers' unusual behavior. He only knew that in addition to the waitress and the customers, there was another figure.

When the customer lay down on the bed, Gu Qiang examined him and realized something was wrong.

"Uncle Shan, why are you shaking?"

The technicians need to know in advance when to provide services to whom, their physical condition, and the course of treatment. Uncle Shan is a regular customer of the bronzer, and the physical examination was to check his recovery progress.

“Xiao Gu,” Uncle Shan’s voice trembled slightly, just like his body, “Xiao Chui…your boss is here.”

Gu Qiang stopped moving.

A warm hand suddenly touched my lower back, and a familiar voice came from beside my ear:

"continue."

Gu Qiang nodded gently, fully immersing himself in the massage.

Behind him, Zhao Xiaochui had his right hand pressed against Gu Qiang's lower back, while his left hand held a tablet to check on the customers.

This shows that he was very satisfied with the service at Relax & Slow! He trusts the quality of Relax & Slow and believes that the massage therapists here can help him solve his problems!

He didn't care about the soaring prices and strictly followed the treatment schedule, which is what makes a truly loyal customer! He understands the importance of health and is willing to pay the price for it!

A wisp of heat had already allowed Gu Qiang to ascertain the condition of Grandpa Shan's body, and Zhao Xiaochui nodded secretly.

Having withdrawn the heat, leaving not a trace within either of them, Zhao Xiaochui spoke:

"Acupuncture points for lumbar muscle strain?"
