The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 376 Ancillary Industries of Massage Parlors

On a new day, a second-generation middle-class woman said that she was just an ordinary little girl.

Zhao Xiaochui felt uneasy after hearing this, so he punished her severely. Without even giving her breakfast, he drove his motorcycle and took the school beauty back to the School of Biology at the United University.

He rode his bike against the wind and began to take stock of what he had gained in the past six months since his rebirth.

He counted on his fingers and was stunned for a moment. Unbeknownst to him, he had accumulated a veritable "life winner" lineup surrounding him:

Li Ying, a female sports star who has won glory for the country; Liu Li, a top internet celebrity with both good looks and figure; Zhou Xuan, a talented female student with eyes; and Guo Ruixue, a pure and beautiful campus goddess.

Even he himself found this list of achievements outrageous.

His personal wealth has reached new heights, but Zhao Xiaochui only cherishes the money he has earned through hard work. He always feels that other windfalls are hot potatoes and will spend them as soon as possible, turning them into real factories, equipment, technology, or employee benefits.

The wind whistled past his ears as he twisted the accelerator and soon arrived at the three-story property of the former street office.

The property management company is now called Slow Weaving Life Community Service Center.

The basement linen washing center, the first floor canteen, the second floor fitness and rehabilitation center, and the third floor office area, which were originally planned, have been converted into a multi-functional conference and training center.

This large property is a remnant of an aging factory. After the factory relocated, the ownership changed hands several times and eventually came to the local street office. However, due to its special structure and huge area, it has been difficult to lease or demolish it in the context of economic downturn.

Looking back at the previous turmoil, apart from the severe physical and mental harm suffered by its employees, EasySlowTravel reaped huge benefits at the company level.

When Jinling Capital initially acquired this property, it intended to be the foundation for its big health industry. However, everything turned out to be cheaply obtained by Easy Slow Travel. Not only did they acquire the property rights at a very low cost, but they also received double the renovation compensation and liquidated damages for all equipment purchases from Jinling Capital.

In the end, Easy Slow Travel has practically obtained a large property with high-standard hard furnishings that can be put into use directly for free.

Therefore, the original renovation budget was entirely invested in upgrading the equipment.

The linen washing center has been upgraded with several imported high-end environmentally friendly dry cleaning and finishing equipment; the first-floor canteen has been upgraded with a complete intelligent kitchen system, cold chain storage and security monitoring of the open kitchen, laying the foundation for future opening to the public; the second and third floors, needless to say, are equipped with the best equipment and materials.

As Zhao Xiaochui walked in, he was immediately drawn to the abundant breakfast stalls, which offered a wide variety of fragrant Chinese dishes and exquisite Western pastries.

Behind the cafeteria is a huge glass partition, behind which is the open kitchen area where the entire process, from washing and cutting ingredients to cooking and plating, is carried out right under the diners' noses.

Some employees chose to eat in the cafeteria, while others opted for convenience. The former delivery riders took carefully packaged meals from the window, checked the orders, and quickly rode their modified motorcycles with the "Easy and Slow" logo to provide delivery services for colleagues who were too lazy to go out.

The operation of this community service center alone provides more than 50 stable jobs through its canteen and related services. If we also include the linen washing center operators on the basement floor, the coaches and managers of the fitness center on the second floor, and the conference service staff on the third floor, it can reliably support the livelihoods of nearly 100 families.

After entering the cafeteria and greeting Chef Gu, who was leaning out of the window, Zhao Xiaochui took his tray and sat down by the window.

Just as he picked up his chopsticks, he felt several burning gazes directed at him from not far away. Looking up, he saw several familiar foreigners, his usual 'regulars' from San Francisco. Zhao Xiaochui felt a little uncomfortable under their stares, but he simply nodded slightly to them as a greeting before lowering his head to continue eating his breakfast.

He's a kind of unconventional 'celebrity,' except his fans aren't ordinary people.

At this moment, Zhou Yaqin sat down opposite them with her tray. She had clearly noticed what was happening, put down her tray, and explained softly:

"It was Secretary Liu who put in a good word. Now, not only the Fatou Subdistrict Office, but the district is also under a lot of pressure. They have roughly estimated that more than 20 billionaires have followed you back to China and intend to stay there long-term, including influential figures such as Bellini and Foster."

Zhao Xiaochui nodded, his gaze sweeping over the kitchen helpers who were currently idle. After a moment's thought, he instructed:

"Tell Lao Gu that if the cafeteria is ready, it should be opened to the public. Focus on high-end options and don't try to compete with the surrounding fast food restaurants."

He paused, then added, "I can afford to pay for it."

Zhou Yaqin chuckled and nodded in agreement. She knew that even if the losses incurred during the initial opening-up period widened, they would only be temporary. With the completion of the large-scale demolition and reconstruction in the Fatou area, the establishment of high-end communities and top-tier sanatoriums, coupled with the potential customer base from the surrounding upscale residential areas, the current group of foreign guests and the effects they brought were enough to ensure a bright future for the canteen.

"By the way, the office area was completely emptied out last night. Now it's finally quiet. Is that what you wanted?" Zhou Yaqin said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaochui's eyes lit up, and he happily picked up a fried dough stick and took a big bite.

“Little Hammer,” Zhou Yaqin continued, “that office building and talent apartment on Chemical Road is a bit larger than expected. Do you have any thoughts on that? Are you considering renting it out?”

Zhao Xiaochui was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean? Can it be rented out?" He really couldn't imagine who would rent a building on the remote Huagong Road, given that even the vacancy rates of office buildings in the CBD and Wangjing are high these days.

Zhou Yaqin didn't answer directly, but instead smiled and pushed a register in front of him: "Look at this, quite a few people have already come to inquire on their own initiative."

Zhao Xiaochui opened the book with a puzzled look, and after scanning a few pages, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

Looking at his expression, Zhou Yaqin explained:

"It's not hard to understand. Our industrial park is now a key project in Jinghai. The city and the development zone plan to move part of their Beijing offices here so that we can provide close services and also attract investment."

Zhou Yaqin gestured towards the foreigners and said with a smile, "The city and county in your hometown also want to set up a branch here, both to support you and to take this opportunity to connect with some resources and talents to go back home."

"Then, before our industrial park was in full production, the short-term suppliers that the Jinghai Municipal Government helped us sign contracts with also wanted to relocate their Beijing branches here."

Zhao Xiaochui looked at the list with a puzzled expression: "Our industrial park is quite large, and we definitely won't renew the short-term contracts when they expire. What are they after?"
