The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 324 Guoguo's Life Plan

In the quiet studio, the lights were dimmed to a soft, warm glow, and the air was filled with the faint, moist scent of Roman chamomile hydrosol. A very gentle, almost inaudible white noise, like the sound of forest rain, flowed in the background.

A tall figure stood quietly in the soft light. She wore a well-tailored navy blue haute couture suit, which made her 1.72-meter height appear even more upright and neat.

Guoguo is focused on giving a little girl a soothing eye massage, keeping her fingertips at a reassuring distance from the delicate skin around her eyes.

"Many parents are concerned about whether they can use pure essential oils to massage around their children's eyes to relax and protect their eyesight," Guoguo said, her voice calm and clear. "My advice is very clear: I strongly advise against it."

Her technique was gentle and precise, explaining and demonstrating safe acupressure points as she went.

"Children's skin is very thin and delicate, and their barrier function is still developing. Pure essential oils are highly concentrated, and direct use can easily cause irritation, allergies, or even unexpected risks through skin absorption."

"Safety is always the top priority."

Her voice blended into the carefully crafted, completely relaxing tranquility, "If aromatherapy is really needed, it must be extremely diluted under professional guidance and strictly avoided around the eyes."

Her movements were professional and fluid, and the sweat on her forehead showed how focused she was.

"Remember, loving children starts with being cautious."

She smiled slightly at the camera, and the fierce courage that life had honed in her eyes had completely transformed into reliability and gentleness at this moment.

The camera was turned off, and the young finance girl assisting nearby smiled and gave a thumbs up, her eyes full of envy for the radiant beauty of the Northeastern girl:
"Sister Guoguo, that's excellent! You captured the emotions perfectly!"

As she deftly began tidying up the fill light and microphone, she continued:
"I'll take the footage back and edit it. It should be online in about twenty minutes."

Before she could finish speaking, she seemed to suddenly remember something, glanced at Guoguo with a hint of worry in her eyes, sighed softly, and hurriedly left with the equipment in her arms.

Guoguo seemed oblivious, continuing to focus on serving the customers who were cooperating with the photoshoot. Only after seeing the customers off did she straighten up, let out a soft sigh, and return to the lounge to change into a clean uniform.

Today is September 10th, this morning. My commission from last month's essential oil sales just arrived.

The money was ten days late because the business of EasySlowMovement had expanded too much, and the finance department was already overwhelmed with work.

Being able to pay basic salaries on time on the 1st was the result of their days and nights of working late. It wasn't until Zhou Yaqin reassembled her original finance team that things finally got back on track.

Guoguo and the girls didn't complain at all.

Paying salaries on the 1st of the month is considered a top benchmark in any industry.

Moreover, including the commission that just arrived, Guoguo's income exceeded one million in August, which was not even a complete month.

She looked down at the numbers displayed on her mobile banking app, and the long string of zeros made her momentarily dazed.

Once upon a time, she drank until she had a stomach hemorrhage for a few hundred yuan in tips, and was pushed and bullied by customers in the corridors of nightclubs. Now, however, she stands proudly in the sunlight thanks to her skills, professionalism, and even the "perfect image" that Zhao Xiaochui gave her.

Last month, she paid off all her debts immediately—the credit cards that had plagued her for years, and the life-saving money her former sisters had scraped together.

The moment the last debt was cleared, she let out a long sigh of relief, as if a huge boulder that had been weighing on her chest for years had been lifted, and she truly welcomed a new life where she could breathe freely.

Life is becoming more concrete and brighter than ever before.

The two fully furnished, single-level apartments in OCT were delivered last night, and Guoguo and her son Doudou will soon have their own master bedroom.

The school, Fatou Elementary School, with a distinguished teacher as its principal, has already been arranged, and they are just waiting for DouDou to enroll next year. She has even quietly made plans for the longer term:

When Zhao Xiaochui returns, we'll take him along, bringing carefully prepared gifts, to visit that top-level teacher.

She would enroll DouDou in whatever extracurricular classes the top-tier teachers recommended, and always the best "one-on-one" classes.

She now has the confidence and the ability to do so.

As for herself, she didn't stop either.

She has planned a clear path for further study: within one year, she will solidly master the basics of anatomy and physiology, and memorize the characteristics, uses and safety guidelines of more than 100 kinds of essential oils; within two years, she will systematically master massage techniques and gain a preliminary understanding of industry ethics and related laws; in the third year, she will strive for the top "IFA Registered Aromatherapist" (MIFA) qualification.

On a practical level, she also had small, real expectations.

She plans to wait until she has paid enough social security contributions, and then she will choose a license plate number. She has already decided on the car model, which is jokingly referred to online as "fried meatball".

As for the rest, the wonderful life she could only secretly fantasize about in the dead of night is now laid out before her in a relaxed and leisurely way.

Free custom-made uniforms, free top-tier skincare and cosmetics, healthy meals prepared by professional nutritionists...

It can be said that the company has taken care of all her worries in the most basic aspects of life, such as clothing, food, housing, and transportation.

Guoguo knew that if the relaxed and slow-paced development continued in this way, it would definitely take away other people's share of the pie.

Just like in the old days in the brothel, every time she gained a regular customer, it meant that one less girl was available for the other girls.

But so what!

She had confidence in the little hammer, and she had confidence in herself.

Guoguo looked out the window with a charming smile; the sunlight was just right.

Her name is Guo Jia.

She finally gripped the steering wheel and embarked on a broad and bright highway of life that she had never imagined.

2020年9月10日，9:45分。

The official short video account of Relaxing and Slow Travel has released its third video since the store closed.

Almost simultaneously, the promotional compensation previously negotiated with the Yinfu short video platform was officially launched, and a massive influx of traffic surged in, accurately pushing the video to the top of countless users' information feeds.

Meanwhile, the wealthy customers who had been harboring resentment and longing due to the club's long-term closure finally erupted, venting their emotions by frantically recharging to purchase extra data, and attempting to use this most direct method to urge the return of the relaxed and leisurely lifestyle they had been longing for.

There are no exaggerated beauty effects or filters that distort space.

Through the lens, Zhao Xiaochui's skillful creation of the young woman Guoguo has created a visual experience that is different from the industrialized aesthetics of internet celebrities, full of healthy vitality and real texture, which has almost violently impacted all netizens!
Traffic surged like a tsunami, with likes, comments, and shares skyrocketing exponentially.

Thus, a phenomenal short video was born.
