The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 40 Report
"Yangyang, how do your eyes feel?"

After leaving the massage parlor, Mr. Xie and his family walked along Jinchan West Road, but the bespectacled father was still a little worried.

The little boy named Yangyang thought for a moment and said, "When the uncle massaged my eyes, they felt warm, but now they feel cool. It feels really comfortable."

"Are you looking at something?"

Yangyang pointed to the bus in the distance: "That's bus number 41."

The three adults squinted and stared for a while, only able to see the number on the front of the bus when it got a little closer, and then they were finally relieved.

"Thank goodness I didn't make a sound," the bespectacled dad said with relief. "Otherwise, in an online novel, I would have become someone else's background character being slapped in the face."

Grandpa Xie frowned: "Take better care of the children and stop doing useless things."

The bespectacled dad nodded: "Dad, you usually come to this store when you're free. You got a membership card, right? I'll top it up for you later."

Grandpa Xie opened his mouth, then sighed.

The bespectacled mother said thoughtfully, "Dad, when I asked if it could relieve menstrual cramps, why didn't that young doctor answer me? Instead, he told me to make an appointment with my boss."

"First of all, she's not a doctor; secondly, do you think it's easy to book a massage therapist with such skills?"

Grandpa Xie felt that Zhao Xiaochui had become a resource in the hands of certain people, but his idea was also a selfish consideration, ultimately wanting to use the child for his own benefit.

"Next month, I'll try to schedule a visit with Xiaochui next month. Let's skip this month and not delay the number of home visits for the children."

Eye exercises don't provide permanent results after just one session, and the bespectacled dad nodded in agreement: "Dad, how much is the home visit fee?"

Grandpa Xie held up one finger.

"A thousand? That's really not cheap."

…………

It wasn't cheap; the chubby receptionist simply brought Zhao Xiaochui's service back to its proper value.

Think 1000 is too expensive? Go buy corrective lenses. Those are even more expensive, and they might not even work. If they don't work, they might develop into myopia, and then there are even more expensive orthokeratology (Ortho-k) lenses waiting for you.

After consulting with a friend at the Market Supervision Administration, it was learned that the fat receptionist's pricing for Zhao Xiaochui was set at a different price per person, depending on the customer.

Some are free, while others are ridiculously expensive.

The ridiculously high-priced customer was a government employee, and the chubby receptionist gave him the invoice price—which the government would reimburse.

The customer is a criminal investigator specializing in trace evidence. He has received two second-class merit awards and countless third-class merit awards. He spends all his time hunched over a computer, resulting in a host of occupational hazards.

Zhao Xiaochui is also quite interesting. The fat receptionist tells him who to do the service, without asking who the visitor is or what his service price is.

This inexplicable trust left even the portly receptionist bewildered, and caused considerable anxiety among many elderly people.

Logically speaking, this child has seen the world and learned his lesson, so why would he entrust his future and fortune to another person?

Just because she's the boss? That chubby girl, Xiao Chen, is incredibly lucky.

Zhao Xiaochui, on the contrary, felt that he was lucky to have met a boss like the fat receptionist who sheltered him from the wind and rain and brought him such customers.

This decorated forensic pathologist's entire body was covered in old, accumulated injuries, with no open wounds, all stemming from long-term negative energy.

Heatflow is a very interesting cheat code. It always treats customers who make significant social contributions differently, but usually it presents a picture of universal values—cleaners and retired cadres are treated the same by Heatflow.

The person in front of him was clearly different. Without Zhao Xiaochui having to do anything, the heat flow circulated in his body, and when it returned to Zhao Xiaochui's body, he felt a significant increase in strength.

The customers on the massage bed, whose brows were furrowed in pain, relaxed considerably.

Zhao Xiaochui quickly controlled the heat flow, preventing it from spreading uncontrollably.

What is your usual work routine?

"Look at the computer."

How often do you get up and move around in the studio?

The customer thought for a moment, then shook his head and remained silent.

Zhao Xiaochui then asked, "How long was the longest you ever sat like that?" "More than ten hours."

Seeing the customer's gray hair, Zhao Xiaochui asked again:

"How old are you?"

"Over forty."

"..."

Zhao Xiaochui had nothing more to ask about this high-class ox-like creature that treated its own life like a joke. He withdrew his hands from the customer and ended the palpation.

"I didn't feel any lumps or stiffness in your lower back. Do you know what that means?"

"..."

Seeing the silent customer, Zhao Xiaochui couldn't help but raise his voice:
"So that means that area is a large lump! How did you endure this long-term dull pain?"

After asking the question, Zhao Xiaochui didn't expect him to answer and began to massage him using traditional Chinese medicine internal energy techniques.

Push flat with both thumbs.

Acupoints to be selected: Fengfu (GV16), Dazhui (GV14), and Jiangen (LI15).

This person has no tender points; he is in pain all over his body!
The three acupoints are not for the lower back, but for the cervical spine. If no measures are taken, the severe bone spurs will cause permanent nerve damage, and the most likely consequence will be high-level paraplegia!

The hot air supply won't be used this time. It's not bad for the customers, but it's bad for Zhao Xiaochui!

At this level of lumbar muscle strain and cervical spondylosis, the body has begun to undergo compensatory damage. If heat therapy is used to repair it, Zhao Xiaochui can no longer be called talented; that would be a miracle!
He has to prepare a treatment plan. If the SPA has already been opened, he will even recommend that customers go there for another treatment. The SPA is a moat that Zhao Xiaochui has built for his golden touch.

The penetrating power of traditional Chinese internal energy massage is unmatched by ordinary massage. The customer on the bed gritted his teeth and endured it, but the pain that went to his bones made him groan from deep in his throat.

Zhao Xiaochui began to push with his palm. He would be using more than three techniques on this customer. Apart from the thumb and palm push, the other techniques were being used for the first time.

Rub, shake, tremble.

Three minutes on each of the three acupoints, five minutes on each of the shoulder root and neck, with pressure all above 0.5 kg, and a minimum frequency of 60 times per minute—how could he not feel pain?

But you have to endure the pain.

Half an hour later, Zhao Xiaochui walked out of the studio first, followed by customers who looked as if they had been given a new lease on life.

The chubby receptionist looked at the customer in surprise: "That's it?"

Zhao Xiaochui shook his head seriously: "That's just a temporary illusion after a massage. Fatty, which unit does he work for?"

"Chaoyang Branch".

"Is he the only beast of burden in this department? Are they going to use him to the point of exhaustion?"

The chubby receptionist's expression also turned serious: "What's going on?"

Zhao Xiaochui provided a detailed explanation of the level of danger to the customer's body:
Where should one report the leaders of such organizations?

The chubby receptionist rolled her eyes, glanced at the customer, and asked in a low voice, "Can you resolve this situation without surgery?"

Zhao Xiaochui did not answer, and not answering meant that he could.

The chubby receptionist nodded knowingly and waved for him to hurry up and attend to the next customer, but Zhao Xiaochui didn't move.

Still a little worried, he called the mayor's hotline and the labor inspection team in front of the customers and the fat receptionist.

Ignoring the astonished customer and the chubby receptionist who rolled her eyes to the sky, Zhao Xiaochui's explanation left both operators completely bewildered.

After recording his personal information in detail and promising to report it to his superiors as soon as possible, Zhao Xiaochui was finally relieved.

This is a talent who has made a huge contribution to society. His existence has protected people's lives and property, benefiting millions of people like Zhao Xiaochui.

He has to live a good life!
When Zhao Xiaochui hung up the phone, he could still feel a surge of excitement within him.
