The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 438 Trivia
"Manager! That relaxed, slow-paced live stream is trending, and the system has automatically pushed it to the homepage! Should we take it down immediately?" a YouTube operations staff member asked anxiously.

The supervisor stared at the backend data, his brow furrowed, his mind in turmoil.

Normally, this kind of sensitive content would have been automatically blocked by the system backend long ago, let alone waiting for him to make a decision! But this time, the situation is different.

The company CEO had already given the order: the phrase "relax and slow" must be removed from the sensitive word list! From now on, any content related to them, especially sensitive content, must not be handled without authorization; you must consult me ​​immediately!

What made him even more uneasy was that despite the huge commotion caused by the live stream, which even made it to the top of the homepage, the American government departments, which usually have a keen sense of smell, didn't make a single call to hold him accountable!

This eerie silence sent chills down the supervisor's spine.

He wiped the cold sweat from his brow and waved to his subordinates:
"Don't move! This live stream... let's just pretend we didn't see it!"

……

The United States remains the undisputed hegemon of this planet.

There are secrets known to a few in China, and naturally, there are also a few people well aware of them within the world's superpower.

Although they lacked concrete evidence, the top circles already had an unspoken understanding of who this "household registration book elimination game" was and what it did.

They could tolerate his recklessness and passion for the time being, and even show a kind of "elderly" magnanimity and understanding.

After all, it's better for everyone to maintain a semblance of calm until a foolproof solution is found to properly "deal with" him.

What they were really worried about was that some fools, unaware of the consequences, would rashly provoke the young man before they were ready, and completely ignite his reckless passion.

If it really comes to that, the situation will probably be difficult to manage.

……

It was afternoon, and the sun was shining brightly.

The American Parliament Hall.

Senator Robert James looked down at his phone screen as he watched a stunning live stream of smart agriculture unfold effortlessly, a cold smile playing on his lips.

The assistant whispered a reminder: "Sir, it's your turn to speak."

Senator James stood up, straightened his suit, and, holding a proposal document entitled "Regional Forced Labor Prevention Act," strode toward the podium.

He plans to propose an amendment on the spot after reading the bill, adding companies such as "Easy Slow" to the sanctions entity list.

“Mr. Speaker,” he began in a loud voice, “I hereby formally submit the ‘Regional Forced Labor Prevention Act’…”

He read the initial contents verbatim, but when he reached the crucial part, namely, "It is hereby determined that the following entities, due to their use of cotton from this region, will be added to the sanctions list," he raised his voice, preparing to add the names he had handwritten:

"The list is as follows...Ease & Stride..."

"Order! Order!"

He had barely uttered the first name when the Senate President, unusually, pounded his gavel sharply, interrupting his speech. The President looked at him sternly, his deep voice carrying throughout the chamber through the microphone: “Senator James, according to the rules, sanctions lists against specific foreign entities must be reviewed behind closed doors by the relevant committees before being included in the bill text and read publicly. Please abide by the rules of procedure.”

Senator James was stunned: "Mr. Speaker, this is just..."

"Your motion is procedurally flawed!" the Senate President interrupted again without hesitation, his tone resolute. "This case is temporarily suspended. Please have the relevant committees handle the sanctions list matter first. Now, let's move on to the next item on the agenda."

A murmur rippled through the room. Senator James stood frozen, his face ashen. This wasn't a simple procedural issue; someone had used the rules he knew to stop him.

He just couldn't understand it.

A massage parlor! A completely unknown orphan owns 98% of the shares! What kind of powerful force could be behind this company?
How could a massage parlor possibly cause the Senate Speaker to violate parliamentary rules in public and forcibly interrupt the agenda?
How is he supposed to explain this to the wealthy backers behind him?
……

Beijing, Fatou. 1 a.m.

In the relaxed, slow-paced area, the lights were dim, and only Zhao Xiaochui was quietly working in his studio on the second floor.

At this moment, there are only ten days left until the Sichuan-Chongqing branch opens on New Year's Day, and only four days left until the group of foreign members rush back to their hometowns for Christmas and New Year.

Evangeline Foster's "ageless" appearance is truly astonishing. It's hard to imagine what price these international tycoons paid to have Director Liu, who is increasingly powerful, visit so frequently these past few days, pleading with Zhao Xiaochui to extend service hours for their international clients.

Director Liu knew this young masseur's temperament all too well.

Therefore, when ZARA announced today that it was joining the boycott of Chinese cotton, it easily and instantly cleared all Spanish members' memberships, and he chose to turn a blind eye and didn't dare to come over to do anything.

This guy secretly hopes all foreigners will stop coming! He wants to serve his fellow countrymen at a friendly price of 888.

Director Liu was an old friend of Zhao Xiaochui, and he used his personal connections to get Zhao five days of overtime.

But Director Liu, being an old friend, managed to get five days of overtime from Zhao Xiaochui by using his connections.

So, for five consecutive nights, Zhao Xiaochui would work at the Slow Weaving Life Community Service Center until 10 p.m. before taking an hour's rest.

When the night was deep and quiet, he would quietly bypass the patients' families and social media influencers blocking the main entrance, slip back through the back door of the neighborhood office to his studio on the second floor of Relaxing Walk, where he would provide expensive body sculpting and beauty services to those wealthy international tycoons who spent money like water.

Zhao Xiaochui was somewhat puzzled as to where these people got so much money. They were all even more extravagant than Foster, with each of them spending over 20 million in a single session. What he found even more incomprehensible was that after receiving a good service, they didn't choose a more cost-effective top-tier technician to maintain the relationship, but instead continued to book his follow-up services.

Continue until they are satisfied with the restoration.

Zhao Xiaochui didn't know what state would satisfy them, and he certainly wouldn't use his heat flow to restore these people to 18 years old.

No matter how mystical traditional Chinese medicine internal exercises may seem, they cannot violate the laws of nature. When the deposits and inflammation in their bodies are eliminated by essential oils, and when their skin metabolism recovers to 28 days, they will at most look ten years younger. If they do not continue to maintain this relaxed and slow pace, they will age rapidly.

But if they have the money, they'll do it.

Ten minutes later, Zhao Xiaochui saw off the last sucker and happily took out his phone to start scrolling.

However, the online attacks accusing Zhao Xiaochui of being cold-blooded, heartless, and disregarding patients caused his smile to last only a short while.
