The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 46 Hidden dangers
It was already late at night when we arrived at the KTV.

Knowing the identity of the Ghost Fire Brother, they changed their address to Ghost Fire Big Brother when they brought him here.

"Little Hammer," Qi Ge said solemnly as he delivered it to the door.

"I can't get involved in the affairs of Shibalidian. The reason why no one has caused trouble for the KTV over the years is because Sister Hua is a sensible person. She is willing to give gifts when she should, and she doesn't take any shady paths."

I'm having some questions about the pricing for your new business.

As the son of a local police station chief, he naturally knows a lot about the dark side of society:
"The new business is going for a high-end market. If it really succeeds here, it will attract a lot of envy."

"I understand, thank you, Brother Qi."

"Thanks my ass. My grandparents sleep well at night and are full of energy during the day. I haven't thanked you yet. Let me know if you need anything. Bye."

…………

In the KTV, Sister Hua personally took charge tonight, while Liu Li busied herself cutting fruit and arranging fruit platters. Then, Sister Hua, carrying fake green beer bottles, served the regular customers.

It was given away for free.

While introducing the upcoming new business to regular customers, they also discussed the refund of prepaid card fees.

KTVs of this caliber rarely have customers who pre-order cards, so Sister Hua could afford to cancel hers. However, to Sister Hua's surprise, when the customers saw Liu Li following behind her and learned that she was also an employee of the new business, not a single one of them canceled their cards.

Hua Jie looked back at Liu Li, who was slender and increasingly beautiful, and made up her mind that after tonight, she would not let this silly girl show her face in anything.

Zhao Xiaochui didn't disturb them. He saw Guoguo all alone in the glass room, so he quickly waved and led her to the dormitory.

Guoguo was holding a bunch of cherries. She seemed to love eating fruit. Zhao Xiaochui remembered being fed by this girl from Northeast China. He always felt that she had a talent for picking fruit because the ones she fed him tasted really sweet.

Is seven thousand enough?

Along with the pile of ID cards, a wad of cash was also handed to Guoguo.

Guoguo took it blankly: "Little hammer..."

“Once you get into a mobile phone loan, you can’t get out,” Zhao Xiaochui said earnestly. “Liu Li said her child had a fever and that transferring 3000 yuan would be enough. Besides, the installment interest rate on your credit card is even more outrageous than that of mobile phone loans. You should pay it back as soon as possible. Those are just bastards who kick you when you’re down.”

In the last sentence, it's unclear who Zhao Xiaochui was referring to.

"We've distributed ID cards to everyone. Before, people didn't know which way to go, so they acted recklessly. Now that we know things will get better, why do we still choose that dead-end path?"

Zhao Xiaochui patted the tearful Northeastern girl on the shoulder: "We're both in a foreign land, you've helped me, so I should help you too!"

"By the way, where's the baby? Liu Li said the baby is in Beijing. If it's not too far, bring the baby over as soon as possible. I'll press it a couple of times first. If it doesn't work, we'll take the baby to the Children's Hospital right away."

Guoguo: "..."

Zhao Xiaochui: "Say something!"

"Little Hammer," Guoguo suddenly burst into tears, "I haven't seen my child in so long. His father won't let me see him. I miss him, Little Hammer, I miss him so much..."

…………

When a group of women who depend on each other for survival are faced with a scoundrel, they are often powerless.

They're still at an age where they could make a lot of money, yet they're all holed up in this kind of KTV, not working shifts or going out with clients after get off work.

Why is this? Zhao Xiaochui thinks that perhaps every girl is another Guoguo, each with her own story. That night, Zhao Xiaochui returned to the dormitory building with Liu Li.

Late at night, amidst the alcohol, neon lights, and a cacophony of perfume scents, when the intoxicated customers began to stare at Liu Li with wolfish eyes, Sister Hua, fearing trouble, had Zhao Xiaochui take her away.

They did nothing, but in a corner of this huge city, on a small single bed, they felt each other's warmth and fell asleep in each other's arms.

…………

The next morning, feeling the troublesome beauty in his arms, Zhao Xiaochui still couldn't help but do some morning exercise.

On his way to the KTV to train the girls, Zhao Xiaochui made up his mind that he had to be careful and not create any more "artificial" beauties like Liu Li, otherwise he would be in big trouble.

Like Liu Li, a simple and honest girl, who possesses a natural and unpretentious country girl charm, yet uses cheap cosmetics to create an incongruous urban look, what kind of impression will this give men?
This is a girl who has no scruples about staying in the city.

If she still had the same 75-80 points of looks and figure as before, nothing would happen, because there are plenty of girls like her in Beijing, and men wouldn't need to do anything for a woman like her.

But things are different now. Zhao Xiaochui has created a 'naturally' hot and sexy woman based on the face and figure of an internet celebrity five years from now. Such a contradictory combination of a 90-point face and figure and a country girl temperament is displayed in one person...

Zhao Xiaochui had only just begun to encounter beautiful girls in his two lifetimes. If it weren't for Sister Hua's reminder last night, he wouldn't have known that a high-quality beauty like Liu Li could bring trouble.

Everything in excess is bad, and Zhao Xiaochui has learned another lesson.

Therefore, during the morning's instruction for the KTV girls, Zhao Xiaochui did not use the heat flow again in the practical teaching. The combination of traditional Chinese medicine internal energy cultivation and a personalized compound essential oil was enough to have an effect on the girls.

Hua Jie is a decisive and efficient person. In just one day, she purchased a complete set of Florihana brand base oils and single essential oils.

According to Zhao Xiaochui's suggestion, this approach of not purchasing compound essential oils directly reduces costs by 40%.

For example, a luxury anti-aging care package, with the addition of compound essential oils, reduces the cost to 60 per session, while the price is 300+.

This price range is typical for high-end spas and five-star hotels, where prices start at 800.

However, these are things to consider soon. At this moment, Zhao Xiaochui's right hand was pressing on Tangtang's body. Ignoring the girl's cries of pain, he increased the penetration of his traditional Chinese medicine internal energy while feeling the effects of the compound essential oil he had prepared.

He would press for a while and then stop, using a dropper to add a little clary sage essential oil to the measuring cup. He would then dip his right hand in the oil and press it onto Tangtang's body.

"Ugh, it's so sour!"

As Tangtang yelled, Zhao Xiaochui glanced at the time; it had taken 2 minutes.

“In SPA essential oil treatments, the optimal duration for a single session is never more than 25 minutes,” Zhao Xiaochui said, wiping his hands with a towel. “You can all do the math and see how much you could earn in those two minutes if you were doing this job, with a 30% commission.”

By the way, in addition to their regular work, anyone who can obtain an IFA aromatherapist or maternal and infant care specialty certificate can earn up to 45% commission.

In addition to commissions, everyone's income also includes labor fees, product sales commissions, hourly bonuses, and profit sharing from additional projects.

Zhao Xiaochui explained the income situation in great detail, which made the girls, who were originally drowsy, light up and become energetic.

Then, Guoguo demonstrated the "Six-Character Mantra" to the girls, and Zhao Xiaochui and Sister Hua walked out of the KTV together.

“A friend of mine introduced me to a construction team today. I heard they have experience decorating five-star hotels,” Sister Hua said as she walked. “Xiao Chui, do you have any ideas about the budget for a single room?”

“The budget for the hard decoration alone cannot be less than 150,000 yuan,” Zhao Xiaochui pondered. “And we must hire a designer. The environment affects the customer’s mood, and a relaxed mood will have a greater impact on the absorption of essential oils.”
