The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 496 Unable to Get Through on the Phone

Liu Li frowned slightly: "Is it just you who's being treated like this, or is everyone like this?"

Zheng Lingling tilted her head and thought for a moment:

“It’s the same for everyone else,” she lowered her voice. “Several older women wanted to take a walk after get off work, but there are always clients in luxury cars waiting outside the staff apartment building! They’re so persistent in offering to take them shopping, they even fight over who pays for their bubble tea! Now everyone just stays in their dorms watching TV shows after work…”

"Have you asked why?"

"We couldn't get any answers from them! We told them they wanted to jump the queue for appointments, and we were willing to give them a daily appointment slot, but they just smiled and wouldn't say a word!"

Zheng Lingling looked at Liu Li with a wronged expression: "Sister Liu Li, we senior technicians all know that the store will turn a blind eye to customers as long as they don't go too far in order to test and train us, but... this is too exaggerated. We were all ordinary people before, and we have never encountered this kind of treatment. Several of our sisters have already gone back to the training camp."

Liu Li pondered for a moment, then patted her on the shoulder:

"If you don't want to see any clients today, then be my assistant for now." She grabbed her phone. "I'll ask around for you..."

……

In Guoguo's eyes, the so-called "troubles" encountered by these newly promoted senior technicians are nothing compared to the storms that they, the veteran employees, experienced back then. It's like kindergarten children fighting over candy.

If you can't even handle this much praise, you should pack your bags and change careers as soon as possible, so you won't be hammered by reality and have to start all over again!
But since Liu Li personally intervened, the situation is different.

Regardless of whether this silly girl will actually marry Zhao Xiaochui, in everyone's mind at Easy Slow Travel, she's already a shoo-in for the boss's wife!

She is also the only woman in the entire company who can give orders on any matter.

So after receiving Liu Li's inquiry call, Guoguo gave up her precious lunch break and went straight to the headquarters building.

"What exactly do they want to do?" Guoguo asked bluntly.

Zhou Yaqin was somewhat surprised by her sudden visit. She didn't answer immediately, but instead slowly walked to the window, looked down at the two withered figures, and sighed.
"What else could they be after?" She turned and leaned against the window. "It's just laying the groundwork for poaching them."

“President Zhou,” Guo Guo frowned, “we’ve considered this possibility, but if it’s just for poaching, isn’t the cost far too high?”

"Sister Wang, who used to work in the quiet area, even had the head of the state-owned assets department from her hometown province come to fawn over her. Their exaggerated manner scared Sister Wang!"

"Because those people are all envious of the regional added value effect of a single easy-going branch..."

Zhou Yaqin patiently explained, "When the boss first disappeared, we cooperated with the municipal government to win the demolition project in the East Second Ring Road. When we signed the contract, we clearly stipulated that the renovated three-courtyard house could only be used as a branch store."

Guoguo nodded: "I've heard about that."

"The news spread as soon as the contract was signed." Zhou Yaqin shook her head with a wry smile. "In less than a month, all the unsold luxury homes in the surrounding area were sold out, and the price of second-hand homes rose by 30% against the trend!" "Before, everyone knew that it was impossible to demolish anything within the Second Ring Road of Beijing, but now everyone understands that as long as a branch of the scale of the flagship store of Easy Slow Travel is introduced," she said with a burning gaze, "state-owned assets dare to come in and forcibly demolish the large courtyards and illegal buildings that were previously impossible to demolish, and the compensation is directly doubled!"

"Do you know where the Sichuan-Chongqing branch is located? Right in the middle of three unfinished buildings! As a result, state-owned capital intervened in advance, not only revitalizing the unfinished buildings, but also providing additional funds to save other projects!"

"Guoguo," Zhou Yaqin beckoned her closer to the window, "think about it, how many technicians does the Sichuan-Chongqing branch even have? The Dongcheng branch isn't even finished with its demolition yet! Just the rumors alone can stir up such a huge storm—"

She tapped her fingertips lightly on the glass: "With the economy in a downturn, how many people's money is just sitting in the bank getting moldy? How could they not be envious of this lifeline?"

Guoguo hesitated, then said, "But aren't they afraid..."

"Fear! Of course they're afraid!" Zhou Yaqin said decisively. "So right now, this group only dares to curry favor and make a good impression. Once someone stands out, they'll definitely be afraid someone else will beat them to it and swarm in!"

After a long silence, Guoguo suddenly looked up:
"Mr. Zhou, you shouldn't have gone against Little Hammer's principles and cooperated with those people..."

Zhou Yaqin gave a bitter smile: "It's precisely because of our official connection that those wolves have some reservations!" Her voice was hoarse. "At the current rate of development, if Little Hammer doesn't show up soon, some people at GF will eventually tear off the mask for the sake of their future..."

"Guoguo, I can't hold on much longer. We can't just keep everyone in the company locked up at headquarters, can we?"

Guoguo lowered her eyes and remained silent, her gaze sweeping downstairs: "Who are those two people...?"

"Do you remember the two senior technicians who left on the day of the opening?" Zhou Yaqin asked gravely. "The company's only remaining technicians who were left behind not only lost all their skills in just one month... but also went insane."

"How is this possible?!" Guoguo's pupils shrank suddenly.

"They went back and rose to the top overnight," Zhou Yaqin said sarcastically. "Sky-high salaries, mansions and luxury cars, the powerful people they used to serve bowing and scraping to them... But the leap in their lives was too high and too fast. They hadn't experienced any of that before. And then, the moment their skills disappeared, all those benefits vanished!"

She gently pressed down on Guoguo's trembling shoulders:

"Falling from the clouds to the mire, losing even a secure job! Going from heaven to hell in just two months, anyone would go crazy!"

Guoguo shuddered. She had originally thought that even if these technicians' skills were ruined, they could just go back to their hometowns and live ordinary lives.

But now...

It's not just these two; there are dozens of inexperienced senior technicians on the relaxed and slow-moving path. What if those wolves snatch them all up...?

This is clearly an attempt to drive someone to their death!
"I'm calling Little Hammer!" she exclaimed, pulling out her phone.

Zhou Yaqin smiled wryly and pressed her hand down:
“I already called…” She showed a string of red missed call notifications in her call log, “It’s impossible to get through.”
