The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 78 Social Scene

Zhao Xiaochui couldn't help but step forward, pressing his whole body against Liu Li's. He tried to move his mouth closer, but Liu Li blocked his mouth with her fingers.

"Putting on makeup is such a hassle," she said, pouting.

Helpless, Zhao Xiaochui released the girl, reached into his crotch to arrange the items, and said, seemingly casually:
"Beautiful lady, why don't you live with me from now on?"

Liu Li covered her mouth and chuckled, a joyful smile spreading across her eyes and brows. She picked up her makeup kit, stepped forward, and linked her arm with the energetic young man's, saying:
"Okay, okay, as long as you can guarantee that the women who approach you won't secretly target me."

"Who would take the initiative to approach me...?"

Zhao Xiaochui hesitated, glared at by Liu Li.

He has learned a lot in his recent busy schedule and is no longer just a workaholic. He has come to understand more about what Liu Li meant.

He couldn't quite grasp women's thought processes yet. If you like someone, just be together. If something happens, face it together. What's there to be afraid of?

And this group of girls, they are clearly a great group of girlfriends, but no one can say for sure how many groups they have!
Enough support.

After his confession was rejected, Zhao Xiaochui could only carry his bed sheet and walk towards the new store.

The two were dressed extravagantly, and the pointing and whispering of passersby made Liu Li blush. She had to find a topic to cover up her embarrassment:
"Zhao Xiaochui, what's the shop's name? Is it still a secret?"

"Take it easy and slow."

"The 'Man' in Aman?"

Liu Li learned from Sister Hua that many of the new store's concepts were copied from the Aman Hotel.

Zhao Xiaochui pondered what Aman was, but had no clue. After thinking for a moment, he said:
"It's the slow one that's really fast."

"Pfft~"

Liu Li laughed so hard she almost fell over, but gradually stopped when she saw more and more flower baskets by the roadside.

"Little hammer..."

She tightened her grip on the man's hand, but then, thinking of their uniforms and the new store that was getting closer, she let go.

Zhao Xiaochui didn't notice any of this because he was starting to get nervous too.

This place isn't far from the Jinchan Road intersection, but the fact that flower baskets are placed here shows that the entrance to the new store is already full of them.

Several luxury cars he had never seen before were parked on the narrow roadside. Zhao Xiaochui glanced at the logos; he recognized them, and they were all more upscale than BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi.

Upon reaching the intersection, they saw the bustling entrance of the new store, where Sister Hua and the girls were busy greeting customers. Liu Li called out and hurried over.

Zhao Xiaochui didn't follow; the neighbors and regular customers around him were greeting him with smiles.

"Little Hammer, you look really cool today."

"Little Hammer, are your clothes silk? What brand are they? I want to buy one for myself tomorrow."

"Are you dumbfounded? This is a custom-made uniform, and the material is amazing! You know what, Mr. Chen really spared no expense."

This must be the highlight of my life, right?

Zhao Xiaochui walked stiffly, but the warmth around him, combined with the good food and work he had been doing lately, made him tall and lithe, and his stiff movements added a touch of composure to his appearance.

The guests had already seen the glamorous female technicians, whose uniform high-end custom-made outfits were stunning.

But when the only male technician, who was also the main character of the day, appeared, people gradually quieted down and their eyes focused on the energetic young man.

He walked steadily forward in a gray-blue stand-up collar uniform. His 1.8-meter height was accentuated by the neat tailoring, and the mother-of-pearl buttons shimmered slightly with each step. The silk hem draped naturally, and his shoulder lines were straight and smooth. People's eyes involuntarily followed his figure until he stopped in front of the store.

Among the crowd, a glint of fascination flashed in the eyes of the academically gifted female student; Guo Ruixue, with her flat figure, glanced at him, then looked back at the new store, and touched her slightly protruding buttocks, starting to calculate her own savings.

Jiang Ying stood at the front of the crowd with a few people; they were clearly the owners of those luxury cars.

Among the crowd, Yu Xiaoning stared at Zhao Xiaochui, who had undergone a complete transformation, and couldn't help but admire the fat receptionist's methods.

The once hardworking young man has really grown a lot.

Secretary Liu and Director Qiao also shared this feeling...

Before the social interaction even began, Zhao Xiaochui's forehead was already sweating under everyone's watchful eyes—he was nervous.

Just then, Guoguo quietly approached:

Where's your nameplate?

What nameplate?

"Job title badge".

"..." Zhao Xiaochui realized that he had been so focused on admiring the beautiful Liu Li that he had completely forgotten about the important matter.

"It's with Fatty Sister."

"I'll go get it," Guoguo pushed him forward. "Take good care of our distinguished guests. There will be video recordings during the ribbon-cutting ceremony, so be mindful of your image."

After saying that, she left in a hurry. There were many people on the road in front of the door, so she ran to the other side before speeding up.

8: 45.

Zhao Xiaochui stood in front of Secretary Liu—he knew who the most important customer was for the new store.

"Little hammer, thank you."

Secretary Liu's earnest thanks surprised him.

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank you for choosing employees from the Fatou area when you recruit them."

"That's because they're excellent."

Zhao Xiaochui tried to say some nice things, and it was true that there were requirements for age, height, appearance, and education for the three cleaners and three security guards. At least they could handle questions like "Where is the spa?"

The new store also hired a 45-year-old laid-off programmer at a high salary to be responsible for the maintenance of the new store's customer service management system and all integrated systems.

Secretary Liu glanced at Jiang Ying and the others who seemed relaxed beside him, smiled and said, "Then I wish you a grand opening and abundant wealth."

"Lend your blessings."

With witty idioms flowing from his lips, Zhao Xiaochui felt a slight sense of pride; he was now someone who could chat and laugh with the street secretary.

Back then, at the entrance of Baodu King—okay, forget Baodu King—as he watched Jiang Ying walk forward with three VIPs, his relaxed mood turned tense again.

Jiang Ying wore a champagne gold silk cheongsam, the cut close-fitting yet not tight, with a jade brooch at the neckline gleaming slightly. Her waist swayed naturally as she walked, and a glimpse of her fair skin could be vaguely seen from the slit at the hem.

Zhao Xiaochui vaguely heard a few swallowing sounds behind him.

"Mr. Zhao, congratulations on your fortune!"

This "technician" is different from the usual one; it is the highest professional title for a massage therapist, and Jiang Ying's way of addressing her is like a gentle breeze.

Zhao Xiaochui secretly praised: No wonder he's a successful businessman who violates the Labor Law.

"Thank you, Ms. Jiang."

Zhao Xiaochui's answer was standard and his calm tone surprised the three people who came with him.

Jiang Ying was already used to this kid's style and didn't care at all:

"Here, let me introduce you."

…………

8:50.
The massage parlor is located on the second floor of a tenement building.

Yangyang, panting, picked out the eggs from the dark milk pot, stuffed them into his little pocket despite the scalding temperature, grinned, and skipped downstairs to the new store.

Halfway there, Yangyang saw Guoguo running across the road as well.

That lady is dressed so beautifully.

He muttered something to himself and kept running, thinking that the eggs should be given out while they were still hot.

…………

Jiang Ying pulled the only woman among the three, saying, "Wang Churan, a film and television star."

With a wasp waist, long legs, and snow-white skin, this film star's figure is almost on par with Liu Li's. As for her appearance, she is also very beautiful, but Liu Li 'modified' her appearance according to her own aesthetic.

"Hello, Technician Zhao."

Hello, Miss Wang.

The movie star was very approachable. Zhao Xiaochui waited for her to extend her hand before quickly reaching out to give her a light handshake.

"Because of her illness, Sister Jiang couldn't work properly for three months. Now that she's suddenly recovered, I asked her to come and see for herself. Please forgive my intrusion."

"You're too kind! We're so happy to have you here!"

Zhao Xiaochui didn't know how he managed to say such tactful words. A smug smile played on his lips as he inwardly praised himself: 'How am I so outstanding?'
