The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 186 Work 3
As Da Qiao fell to the ground, a sprightly old man strode out, his expression filled with gratitude, and earnestly helped Da Qiao up.

The elderly people sitting near the massage parlor seemed quite familiar with him—they were neighbors, after all, how could they not know him?
But despite their familiarity with him, his condition shocked those who knew him.

The once hunched-over, listless old man, suffering from severe lumbar disc herniation, has now transformed into a spirited old man, tall and energetic, even making a couple of middle-aged women blush.

Zhao Xiaochui had anticipated this scene. He stepped forward, both amused and exasperated, and patted Da Qiao. After a brief check, he confirmed that Da Qiao was simply exhausted and otherwise unharmed. He then patted Grandpa Xiao as well.

"..."

The man's herniated disc disappeared.

Zhao Xiaochui knew that Da Qiao was working on Zhong888's project for the first time today, so he knew everything about Grandpa Xiao's situation.

After five courses of treatment with Easy Slow Walk 88, the symptoms were brought under control. If there are no unforeseen circumstances, this person will become a regular customer of Easy Slow Walk for a long time.

Because his symptoms would be ranked last by the system, he had no hope of being cured after making an appointment with Zhao Xiaochui!

But an unexpected thing happened. When Mr. Xiao saw the appointment system show a new technician with the number 888, he clicked "confirm" without hesitation.

He was a customer of Da Qiao two years ago, and the two were quite familiar with each other. But to say that familiarity made him unhesitatingly pay Da Qiao's service price of 888, he probably...

No, he would definitely hesitate.

But this is a relaxed and leisurely stroll, and here comes Zhao Xiaochui!

Mr. Xiao, a regular customer, was a sensible man. Trusting Zhao Xiaochui, that honest kid, he went into the massage room!

Twenty minutes later, he came out again, and then, just thirty seconds later, his photo went viral in various groups in Fatou, making him the internet celebrity lucky charm of Fatou today!
"Western medicine emphasizes the course of treatment; doctors will not allow patients to take all the medicine at once."

He looked at Grandpa Xiao and said, “Traditional Chinese massage is the same. The only difference is that the price of pursuing speed is borne by the massage therapist, not the patient.”

Grandpa Xiao opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but seeing that Zhao Xiaochui was busy helping Da Qiao recover her strength, he ultimately didn't speak.

Zhao Xiaochui released Grandpa Xiao, a complicated smile on his face.

They laughed at their own earlier guesses being correct; they laughed even more at the harsh conditions for mastering ancient metaphysics.

"Uncle Xiao, you're all better now. Keep up your exercise routine, and try not to come anymore!"

"No... little hammer, that..."

Grandpa Xiao hurriedly tried to explain, but when he saw Zhao Xiaochui helping the limp Da Qiao recover, he shut his mouth.

"Da Qiao and Gu Qiang each had four guests this morning. Looking at their situation, it's clear they can't handle them. I will take over from now on."

For today's lesson, Zhao Xiaochui specifically closed most of the scheduled appointment times.

"Do you know the importance of multiple treatment sessions?" Zhao Xiaochui's hands were busy, while he harshly criticized Da Qiao.
"You finished the work that would have required five treatments in one go. Did you even consider the consequences?"

"Have you considered your own health conditions? And what about the situation where customers with appointments are left unattended?"

Da Qiao and Gu Qiang: "..."

Zhao Xiaochui released Da Qiao and turned to the elderly people watching the commotion, asking:

"If anyone has any questions, please estimate the lifespan of a 'Relaxed and Slow-Moving Technician' for one year or five years?"

"..."

"Relax and slow, we don't cater to customers! So when they set up treatments for everyone, please don't question whether they're ripping people off. Is it possible that our technicians' skills are what they are?" No one spoke. After a long period of speculation, Zhao Xiaochui finally confirmed it clearly.

So, how much does it cost to buy a year's worth of lifespan?
I don't know.

Only Da Qiao and Gu Tong knew that the boss (master) was talking nonsense.

They were just tired and had no other symptoms, and Zhao Xiaochui did not teach them any methods to transfer their life force.

Among the crowd, only Zhang Minghua and Zhou Yaqin showed unusual expressions—Zhao Xiaochui was talking about sales techniques! Building a brand image!
He was explaining how worthwhile the price of 888 was!
They also noticed that several people in the crowd were recording videos, and that the video of Zhao Xiaochui's live teaching had already appeared in their mutual aid group!

"..."

The two elderly ladies, both elites, exchanged another glance, their expressions filled with relief and delight.

The growth rate of the young bosses is simply beyond their imagination!

Zhao Xiaochui didn't care what others thought; he followed the same method and guided the other three technicians "into the door."

After all the lessons were finished, Zhao Xiaochui had the young ladies settle the five paralyzed blind technicians in, and then he took on all the remaining appointments.

As for whether he could handle the workload—Zhao Xiaochui, who was once again confirming the plausibility of his "golden finger" ability, no longer concealed his skills this time. For most customers, he only needed to press lightly for their symptoms to quickly subside, and then he would see them off directly.

Besides working up a sweat and changing into several sets of custom-made uniforms, he not only absorbed the stagnant energy in the customers' bodies to strengthen his own heat flow, but also earned everyone's gratitude!
They were busy like this until lunchtime.

…………

On an August afternoon in Fatou, the sun shone on the asphalt road, creating waves of heat. The leaves of the old locust trees drooped listlessly, and the chirping of cicadas mingled with the muffled sounds of pile driving from a distant construction site, buzzing and vibrating in the air.

The old shop's signboard has faded, and the red background with white lettering that reads "Blind Massage" has turned white from the sun. There is also a mark that has been deliberately smeared in front of the four characters.

Only regular customers know that the application process can be summed up in three words: "So easy."

Yangyang's stepmother, Wang Jianlian, who has now completely settled down, is lazily lounging on the former territory of the fat receptionist, doing nothing.

Her current job is to stand at the forefront, guard the forefront, and... continue to stand at the forefront.

If someone causes trouble, all she needs to do is call Easy Slow Travel.

In addition, the appointment, queuing, and service arrangements are all handled by the back-end system and the visually impaired assistants.

The air conditioner was humming, and the air it blew out carried the smell of old furniture.

Lin Wei had just seen off the last customer of the morning, and her fingertips still felt sore and numb from overwork.

She shook her hand, refusing the help from the young woman offering assistance, and quickly walked towards the front desk along the tactile paving.

Since receiving their first month's salary, the two young women who help the visually impaired at the old shop have become even more enthusiastic.

Li Wei didn't know the exact number, but she could guess it, because as a trainee technician, she had received nearly four thousand yuan.

Is it a lot? No, it's not!
Is it a small amount? No, it's not!
Relax and enjoy a leisurely trip with meals, accommodation, and social security contributions included!
If you don't register your daily meals, the 30 yuan subsidy per meal will be directly deposited into your account; if you don't live in a dormitory, the 50 yuan daily housing allowance will also be deposited into your account.

In other words, Lin Wei received more than 6,000 yuan in salary last month, excluding social security contributions.
