The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 364

At noon, Zhao Xiaochui and Pan Xiaoli were having lunch in the quiet studio.

Lunch was delivered by Chef Gu's team from the three-story property owned by the local street office. That property had been returned to "Easy Slow Travel" through property compensation. How much Jinling Capital paid for this is unknown to outsiders.

The building is now fully renovated, the basement linen washing center is equipped and staffed, and has already taken on a considerable amount of business. Currently, its largest client is not the yet fully operational New Relaxation, but rather Bai Ling Therapy.

The first floor is planned as an employee cafeteria, and Lao Gu's team has already moved in. It's not currently open to the public, only providing free meals to all "Relaxed and Slow" employees. Zhao Xiaochui's simple, even somewhat humble, wish from before his rebirth—to work for a company that provides free lunches—has thus come true.

The food was packed in an elegant insulated container: several light dishes, a small bowl of soup, and a bucket of mixed grain rice.

This meal may seem ordinary, but it's actually quite elaborate. With the help of a nutritionist and a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner specializing in medicinal cuisine, Lao Gu's team carefully selected ingredients based on the current solar term. All ingredients came from long-term, carefully chosen suppliers with the company's agreements with wholesale markets, ensuring freshness and quality.

Before Pan Xiaoli could even set the plates, Zhao Xiaochui started eating heartily.

From 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., he served five customers in a row. Any other master of internal energy would have been exhausted and died long ago.

Fortunately, he has the Heat Flow cheat code, which he uses on himself, not on clients (that would be too overpowered). This is the most practical way to use the cheat code.

Of the five guests, the few from the wealthy Qian Mankun were the lowest, mainly because the reservation was opened too suddenly and the bidding period was short.

The other four guests paid an average of around 12 yuan, because all five of them purchased customized essential oils. A bottle of essential oil the size of half a little finger costs 5 yuan, and each person bought the maximum limit of ten bottles.

In addition, his essential oil blending service costs 50,000 yuan, which means that Zhao Xiaochui generated 1.3 million yuan in revenue for Xinqingsongmanxing in just two hours of work in the morning.

Is this number high?

Zhao Xiaochui couldn't explain it clearly, but he felt a little uneasy.

Because the new "Easy and Slow Travel" service has begun targeting high-end clients globally, Zhou Yaqin and the marketing department plan to continue the bidding model for a period of time until a reasonable price is set for Zhao Xiaochui's services based on supply and demand. The prices for other levels of technicians will be calculated according to Zhao Xiaochui's pricing ratio.

The new "Easy Walk" brand will no longer show leniency to its neighbors. Fortunately, Fatou has been hit by a large-scale commercial demolition, otherwise those elderly folks might have come to the store to cause trouble.

Pan Xiaoli set out the dishes, served herself her food, and sat down. Looking at the empty massage hall, she sighed softly, "Although the old men and women who used to love to chat are gone, the shop is a bit quieter, but it is indeed much quieter and more presentable."

Zhao Xiaochui just chuckled, didn't reply, lowered his head and ate a few mouthfuls of rice, then changed the subject to adjustments in service details:
“Xiaoli, from now on, the fifteen-minute service for each new customer needs to be more precise. Your customer service staff, as the connecting link, need to be more meticulous—remind the next customer to prepare five minutes in advance. You and Li Muqingfeng should communicate well. The lighting, background music, and fragrance switching must be perfectly synchronized with your service process, and the timing must be strictly controlled.”

He swallowed his food, pondered, and continued, "In addition, I've decided to offer a complimentary full-body relaxation package to eligible regular customers. They'll arrive half an hour early, and a senior technician on the first floor will provide them with a 20-minute basic relaxation service, after which I'll take over and provide a 13-minute core service." "This value-added service will give the technician providing the basic relaxation double commission, and the cost will be covered by my service fee." If it weren't for needing to check on new customers' physical conditions, Zhao Xiaochui would have loved to make this service widely available. "With this arrangement, if all the customers in the morning are regulars, I can save two minutes per customer. That means I can serve one more customer in the morning, making it six."

Pan Xiaoli listened attentively and nodded: "I will communicate with Supervisor Li and Supervisor Shen."

Pan Xiaoli listened attentively and nodded heavily: "Okay, boss, I'll go and talk to Supervisor Li and Supervisor Shen later to go through the process again."

"Let's talk about it later, after dinner and during our rest time," Zhao Xiaochui swallowed the last bite of rice, glanced at the wall clock, and softly reminded them, "Our first international guest should be arriving soon."

……

Pan Xiaoli had just finished packing her lunchbox and arrived at the gate when she saw an unusual convoy slowly approaching from the intersection of Jinchan North Road.

Leading the procession were two black Audis, seemingly for escort and security. Following closely behind was a black Phantom, and at the rear of the convoy were two black minivans, clearly vehicles for accompanying personnel.

Because the convoy was entirely black, it didn't attract much attention from passersby. However, those in the know could immediately tell from the license plates of the first two cars that this was no ordinary business reception.

The convoy stopped in front of the EasyDrive gate, and several tall, well-dressed entourage members quickly got out of the lead Audi. One of them walked briskly to the Phantom and gently opened the rear door.

Standing at the door, Pan Xiaoli subconsciously clenched her fingers.

Despite experiencing many ups and downs at "Easy Slow Travel," from being promoted from an ordinary waitress to a management position, witnessing online storms and dealing with difficult customers, she is ultimately just a 25-year-old young woman who has graduated from university less than a year ago.

This situation was far beyond her capabilities. She could feel her heart racing, her palms sweating, and a small voice inside her whispered, "This...is this someone I can handle?!"

At this moment, two sharp-looking figures in crisp uniforms silently stood on either side of Pan Xiaoli behind her, and her tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the last bit of panic, and took two stiff steps forward, ready to greet this important guest.

The first thing to emerge from the Phantom was a sleek cane, its head adorned with dazzling ornaments. Then, an elderly man with impeccably combed silver hair, exuding remarkable elegance despite his advanced age, slowly stepped out of the car.

Leo Bellini, Chairman of the Fletcher Group.

Pan Xiaoli bowed slightly and spoke fluent English: "Mr. Bellini, welcome to New Relaxation. The owner has been waiting inside for a long time. Please follow me."
