The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 395 Communication Among Our Own People

Someone in the audience couldn't help but question, "But Zhao Xiaochui is ultimately just one person. How many people can he serve?"

"Good question!" Director Liu seemed to have been waiting for this question, his voice suddenly rising. "But he's not alone! According to our information, the massage parlor now has as many as six top-level technicians and more than twenty senior technicians!"

This news caused a stir in the meeting room.

"That's why they haven't fully opened for business yet."

"Because they are designing standardized physical therapy programs for certain chronic diseases!"

Director Liu's gaze swept intently over the crowd:

"Their goal is to achieve treatment results close to those of Zhao Xiaochui himself, through high-frequency, periodic, standardized physiotherapy, at less than one-tenth the price of Zhao Xiaochui's personal treatment!"

"The latest news is that several chronic disease treatment programs have been finalized, and their effectiveness has been consistently demonstrated in different patients!"

Secretary Liu's voice gradually became more excited:
"This means that massage parlors are shifting from relying on a magical masseur to building a replicable and scalable technology system. The blue ocean industry that Jinling Capital once described is gradually becoming a reality. Once this model succeeds, it will no longer serve a small number of powerful people, but the entire vast group. This will bring huge social effects and economic value!"

The room fell completely silent, and many faces showed excitement. Who doesn't have a few minor ailments? Besides pulling strings to find an expert, who wouldn't want to try such a reliable new approach?
At this point, a representative from the Disabled Persons' Federation raised his hand to speak. He calmly explained, “To provide qualified blind massage therapists for the 'Easy and Slow' program, we have established 36 professional skills enhancement classes throughout the city, investing over eight million yuan in training funds, of which 'Easy and Slow' provided 80% of the subsidies. We are cooperating with the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, inviting instructors to teach hands-on, and the trainees are practicing diligently, all in the hope of cultivating high-level massage therapists who meet the requirements.”

He paused briefly, then added, "Currently, seven outstanding visually impaired massage therapists have passed the assessment and are undergoing internships at the Relaxed and Slow Walking Center. We believe they will be able to serve the public with their professional skills and earn respect through their abilities."

"What about the others?" the deputy mayor asked with concern.

The representative from the Disabled Persons' Federation smiled and replied:
"Please rest assured, leaders. Thanks to the subsidies provided by Easy Slow Travel and the high teaching standards, all the other trainees who have undergone our systematic training are truly skilled and have already secured excellent employment opportunities. More than two hundred trainees have signed employment contracts with major chain massage institutions in the city, with starting salaries generally 20% higher than the market average."

At this point, the representative from the Disabled Persons' Federation paused: "Of course, they also eliminated a group of 'lazybones' who had been slacking off in the industry in the past, lacking both professional skills and professional ethics."

"The expulsion of these people not only purified the industry environment, but also allowed practitioners who truly dedicated themselves to studying technology and providing solid services to receive the respect and market rewards they deserve."

The report by the representative of the Disabled Persons' Federation concluded at this point, but after glancing at the podium, he still offered a reminder:
"Leader, I have received news from my colleagues in Sichuan and Chongqing that the entire province is working together to run training courses, which are not limited to visually impaired people, but also include relevant majors from medical schools at all levels."

Upon hearing this, Director Liu simply waved his hand dismissively: "There's no need to worry too much about that. Professional skills are certainly important, but to cross the threshold of 'easy and slow driving,' technical skills alone are not enough; it's not that simple."

“Leader,” the representative from the Disabled Persons’ Federation couldn’t help but interject, his tone tinged with helplessness and urgency, “the problem is, Sichuan and Chongqing have really gone all out this time! They’ve sent two psychology experts to be stationed at Relax & Slow Travel, their mission being to deeply analyze the personality, techniques, and even thought processes of every technician in the shop. They’re trying to create a precise one-to-one replica from their huge student base!”

"..." The deputy mayor next to him couldn't help but whisper, "You...didn't you send anyone over there too?" The representative from the Disabled Persons' Federation spread his hands, with an expression that said, "Are you kidding me?", and didn't reply—was that massage parlor a place where just anyone could throw people in?
The venue fell into an eerie silence once again.

That Sichuan-Chongqing female tyrant has been making headlines lately, appearing on the 7 PM news every day. Do I need to say more about the signals behind this?

To say she was just lucky? That would be a real injustice to her. Back when she was a village cadre, she didn't abandon a single orphan in the three counties and eighteen villages; Zhao Xiaochui was just one of them.

In order to enable these children to complete nine years of compulsory education, she almost sold everything she owned and mobilized all available resources to build the Chuzhong School.

Today, that school has become a star school in the area and the most impressive achievement on her record.

That kind of vision and ruthlessness is something most people can't match.

Most importantly, just as she unconditionally supported Zhao Xiaochui back then, Zhao Xiaochui is now unconditionally supporting her!

Many people have heard the news from the female tyrant: Zhao Xiaochui personally endorsed that the Easy Slow Travel branch will be given priority in being established in Sichuan and Chongqing.

The female tyrant has begun directing the government to take over several unfinished projects located in a cluster. She plans to resolve historical issues through various asset swaps and price difference compensation operations, and also take advantage of the positive news that Easy Slow Travel is about to move in to make the value of the projects transferred to the government soar.

At this point in the meeting, the city's intentions were crystal clear.

The vice mayor delivered a concluding speech, speaking in a serious tone: "Comrades, we must recognize reality. The relaxed and slow-paced lifestyle that developed from Fatou is the first and largest piece of cake that our capital city was fortunate enough to get."

He surveyed the room with a sharp gaze: "Although the second and third bites of meat might be taken by those quick-reacting capitalists and the sea... but that doesn't mean we have no chance."

He waved his hand and warned, "I want to emphasize one point now: all districts and counties must remain calm and steadfast! No one is allowed to engage in any underhanded tactics for short-term gains, and certainly no one is allowed to push that shop too far or scare it away! Anyone who loses this trump card due to misconduct will be a sinner against the entire city!"

"As for how to cooperate in the future and how to share this bigger pie, the city will have a unified plan and arrangements. We need to be strategic and not rush into things! Do you all understand?"

The deputy mayor's authoritative gaze swept across the room, and the attendees nodded in agreement.

"The meeting is dismissed!"

At a command, everyone rose and left their seats, and the meeting room filled with the sounds of tables and chairs being moved and footsteps echoing. The deputy mayor, however, gestured with his hand:
"Director Liu, could you stay for a moment?"
