The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 247 Consequences
It's 11 a.m. in Beijing in August.

The blazing sunlight streamed onto the glass curtain wall, allowing for a relaxed stroll. In the VIP rooms of the women's section on the second floor, the air conditioning was just right, and the air was filled with the subtle scents of white tea and cedar.

This fragrance was blended by the fragrance team based on the guests' preferences.

The customer, who was a client of Liu Li's by appointment, declined the services of the only male technician and chief technician at the Relaxing and Slow Travel service, and instead chose Guo Guo, a top-level technician who was one level above Liu Li.

Guoguo was kneeling on the white agate stepping stones in the wet area, her knees pressed against a small linen blanket folded with sharp edges.

She was wearing a newer uniform—a navy blue silk short-sleeved shirt and narrow-legged wide-legged trousers.

In front of Guoguo was a heated bathtub, with three rose petals and a miniature, unlit candle floating on the surface.

On the stone platform to the left of the bathtub, there is a tray: a bottle of rosewater just taken out of the incubator and a towel folded into a triangle.

In the Musical Notes Mall, this towel is priced at 458. In this VIP room, this towel will be a disposable item for the customer (most customers on the second floor will not choose to take it with them).

While Guoguo felt sorry for the client's choice, she also remained understanding.

Because this female customer is too beautiful.

In addition, given her extravagant lifestyle, Guoguo knew that in that social class, a beauty like her was never a scarce resource; rather, it was the female clients of the same social class who were the real scarce resource.

Beautiful, from a good family, educated, and knowledgeable, this woman with all these advantages is rational. If it were a health issue, she would never refuse Zhao Xiaochui. But the service she booked was full-body skin rejuvenation and whitening!
No matter how well she protects her privacy while traveling at a leisurely pace, this woman will never allow herself to leave even the slightest stain!

After adjusting the bathtub temperature, Guoguo gently got up, went to the shower room door, stood next to the senior silent attendant, and waited patiently.

Throughout the entire process, not a single sound was uttered.

"Sisters, I'm here! I'm here!"

Through the earpiece, Liu Li's excited voice came through—the girls had asked Shen Yan to use WeChat and the radio to create a high-level group chat for them.

So, in her spare time, Guoguo can also listen to Liu Li's 'shopping live stream'.

“I’m standing in front of Chanel—yes, that’s the place where, according to legend, ‘a rug costs me six months’ rent!’”

"Holy crap~" Liu Li muttered softly through her invisible earpiece, "The sales assistant actually bowed to me! Bowed! Nobody ever paid any attention to me when I went to Uniqlo in Sanlitun before."

"Sisters, do you remember the saying in the KTV circle: the more expensive the bag you carry, the more expensive the time you spend? Today I'm going to prove it."

"..."

Guoguo twitched the corners of her mouth, her whole body trembling slightly as she managed to suppress her laughter.

"So, so, did you buy it? What did you buy, Liu Li?"

That's Tangtang's voice; she's obviously taking a break after her shift.

"Didn't buy it, it's way too damn expensive."

Liu Li's frustrated voice came through, then she excitedly said, "Two bottles of Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair! Three bottles of Lancôme Advanced Génifique! Hey, you there—Sister Tangtang, you used to always talk about this, I'll get you a bottle of SK-II Facial Treatment Essence!"

"..." Tangtang's helpless voice came through the earphone, "Liu Li, the skincare products the store gave us are more expensive and better than these!"

Liu Li: "..."

Liu Li: "I'm going to buy a cell phone, a tablet, and a laptop."

Tangtang: "The store only sells flagship models. What do you want to buy?"

Liu Li: "...This Coach store in Belgium has great taste, I'll go in and have a look~"

Tangtang: "Liu Li, is it possible that it's called Delvaux?"

Liu Li: "...I'm not doing a live stream for you guys anymore, I hate it, I'm going to buy Daoxiangcun products."

The girls: "..."

Just as Guoguo was about to burst out laughing, the shower door opened, and a radiant female guest walked out naked.

A senior, silent waiter approached with a bath towel to provide service.

Guoguo quickly led the way, guiding the guests toward the bathtub. At this moment, the three-sense system, under the control of the backend, was fully activated according to the guests' habits.

If all goes well, the guest will begin to relax after about twenty minutes, once they are lying on the massage bed.

The integration of modern technology has brought tremendous assistance to technicians like Zhao Xiaochui and Guoguo.

But would it have the same effect on this female customer who exuded an innate aloofness? Guoguo remained skeptical.

Sure enough, half an hour later, when Guoguo was soaked to the bone and hadn't managed to complete a full breath-inducing technique on the guest, the beautiful woman opened her eyes and spoke.

The sound is not loud, and has a natural coolness that even warm background music cannot suppress.

"Guoguo, right? I didn't expect you to be better at it than Liu Li."

Guoguo paused in her massage, about to bow and say "thank you for your recognition," when the customer raised his hand to interrupt her.

How much did you earn this month?

Guoguo didn't speak; she withdrew her hands and stood quietly.

“I need a private technician who doesn’t have to serve anyone. My working hours are my rest time, and the salary is three times what you are currently making.”

Guoguo lowered her eyes and stared at the tips of her shoes, then said softly, "My salary this month is expected to be around one million (including commissions from formulating and selling essential oils)."

The beautiful woman turned her head to the side, a faint smile curving her lips, but her words lacked warmth:
“I know, their estimate of your income is at least as much as you said.”

"So, once your income for this month comes out, come to my side, and I'll calculate it at three times the rate."

"Are you interested?"

Guoguo: "..."

'who are they?
and who are you?

Guoguo suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Sister Guoguo..."

Suddenly, I heard a deer's trembling voice coming from my headphones.

“Someone tried to poach me, offering five times the salary, but I didn’t agree. Then they offered ten times the salary.”

“Sister Guoguo, this is Linglan. It’s the same for me. I don’t agree, but he keeps driving uphill.” “Guo…Guo…Guoguo…Sister…”

Suddenly, Tangtang's crying came through the earphones.

Guoguo's heart tightened, and she was extremely anxious, but with guests in front of her, she couldn't speak.

"Tangtang, what's wrong?" Hua Jie asked.

"I...I...I can't practice anymore, sir, the sir is not satisfied!"

"..."

"Tangtang," Sister Hua asked gently, "how much treatment did the guests offer you?"

"Thirty...thirty...thirty million!"

Guoguo: "..."

Sister Hua: "..."

The girls: "..."

Guoguo raised her eyes and looked at the beautiful woman who was already wearing a silk bathrobe with a cold gaze.

The woman's attitude changed drastically upon seeing her; she didn't care at all and just smiled lightly.

Guoguo stared at her coldly, raised her hand, and tapped the invisible earpiece.

Shen Yan's calm voice quickly followed: "Are you sure?"

Guoguo hesitated for only a moment before decisively knocking twice more.

Shen Yan: "The microphone is now on."

Guoguo pressed the button on her earpiece, stared at the beautiful woman, and said, word by word, "Whether it's three times, five times, ten times, or thirty million, do you really think this treatment is for us?"

"Sisters, we're not worth this!"

"Their target is the little hammer!"

"Tangtang has collapsed. Forget about 30 million, she doesn't even have 3,000 yuan left."

"Tangtang, counting Liu Li from before, who's next?"

"As we return to ordinary life, as we leave him one by one..."

What will the little hammer become?

"They're going to destroy him!"

When Guoguo took her fingers off the headphones, the beautiful woman smiled and clapped.

"clever!"

Guoguo gave a cold laugh, decisively picked up the tray of freshly prepared essential oils, and looked at the woman with disgust, saying, "Have you thought about the consequences?"

The pretty woman shrugged and pointed to Guoguo's ear: "I'll complain if you handle personal matters at work. Have you thought about the consequences?"

Guoguo gave a disdainful smile.

The beautiful woman didn't seem to care about her attitude and continued her narration leisurely:

"The Easy and Slow Travel Emergency Compensation Mechanism includes an item—Chief Technician's Private Customization Service Without Appointment!"

Guoguo was startled.

The pretty woman shrugged and turned to walk towards the dressing room.

"I don't know what the consequences will be, but I do know that I can restore the health of an elder who can't even register for a membership!"

…………

Two female guests declined Zhao Xiaochui's personal service in the morning.

So he set aside a whole block of time to go to the old shop to assess the trainees.

He overheard Guoguo's conversation with the pretty woman.

At this moment, he stood at the entrance of the old shop, under the scorching sun, Zhao Xiaochui quietly listening to the sounds in his headphones.

Wang Jianlian, the receptionist at the old shop and Yangyang's stepmother, opened the door with great enthusiasm, bringing in a refreshing breeze from the air conditioner.

Zhao Xiaochui smiled at her, shook his head, snatched the phone from her hand that was playing a short video, and gestured for her to go back to her work.

Wang Jianlian blushed as she closed the door, stood upright behind the front desk, and stared blankly at the white wall opposite her. After a while, circles appeared in her eyes.

While listening to the conversation in his earphones, Zhao Xiaochui opened Wang Jianlian's phone. As a flagship model that EasyDrive had given to its employees, the phone was very fast.

Open Jingxi Mall—Home Furnishings—Home Textiles—Towels and Bath Towels.

Filter - Only view in stock, Jingxi Logistics, 211 Express Delivery - Price range above 300 - Security category A.

He selected several high-selling imported brands from the filtered items and placed the order at the original store address with his friend paying on his behalf.

He then took out his phone, clicked on Wang Jianlian's payment link on WeChat, and paid without hesitation.

More than 1.9 million!
After finishing everything, Zhao Xiaochui stood under the scorching sun, quietly watching the old shop where the training technicians were busily working.

The familiar elderly men and women were leaning against the wall, sitting on familiar plastic stools, enjoying the cool breeze and chatting about everyday life.

Time seemed to have turned back to a few months ago, when Zhao Xiaochui was busy working, sweating, amidst the loud voices of those elderly men and women.

He chuckled softly and raised his hand to press on the invisible earpiece.

"Shen Yan!"

"Boss, I'm here!"

"Close down!"
