The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 447 VIP Member Representative
As far as Zhao Xiaochui is concerned, Lü Cheng's in-depth analysis is simply overthinking things.

He merely used the "company's" review channel to blacklist the types of people he hated most before his rebirth—such as speculators who exploit loopholes in the system, scabs who exploit their peers, and technical accomplices who act as henchmen of evil.

Like Lü Cheng, "a certain company" also over-interpreted his behavior, imagining him as an idealistic and passionate young man.

That's not actually the case at all.

Zhao Xiaochui doesn't have such noble sentiments; he's just doing the opposite of the people and things he hated most in his past life.

Of course, besides the explanation of "idealism," outsiders simply couldn't think of such an absurd answer as "rebirth." Zhao Xiaochui's experience is far too simple; what other explanation could there be besides idealism?
And so, things, following everyone's misunderstanding, raced headlong down an increasingly bizarre path.

Zhao Xiaochui himself was unaware that the domestic customers he had personally served had already acquired credit credentials, making Zhao Xiaochui a credit guarantor in a certain sense.

However, in the current economic downturn, where even some government companies and departments are starting to default on payments, maintaining that easy VIP status that is linked to the approval process of "a certain company" is not an easy task.

This unspoken endorsement by Zhao Xiaochui is certainly eye-catching, but it is also extremely burdensome.

It's like a double-edged sword, bringing immense convenience and trust, but also requiring its holder to tread carefully at all times. Because you never know which of the company's over-interpreted review standards will be targeted in the next update.

“We should educate our children to realize the injustice. The wages of those of us who sit behind desks and type on keyboards are ten times that of those who clean toilets and get their hands dirty, and a hundred times that of those who manufacture fat in third-world countries.”

This is something that European and American social science experts have said.

Over the past few decades, many Chinese companies have risen rapidly by enjoying a huge demographic dividend with only one percent of the cost of wages.

But if now, simply because Chinese workers' wages have risen by two or three percent, these companies think they can just pack up and run off to more underdeveloped countries to continue exploiting them—

Then I'm sorry, but "Company X's" review system will be the first to object!

It doesn't care about grand principles of globalization like "capital seeking profit" or "industrial transfer." Its logic is simple and brutal:
"This was requested by the actual owner of the auditing system!"

If you say something bad about China, you'll make money and run away; but if China were bad, how could you possibly make money?

If you've run away, then congratulations. If you still want to receive Easy Travel's services, then you'd better go through the international booking channel. All the hard-earned money you squeezed out of those poorer countries will be spent on Easy Travel, used for investment, and to raise employee salaries. These are things you should have done and money you should have spent.

……

While Lü Cheng was leisurely sipping his coffee in the café, a completely different scene unfolded at the commercial and residential construction site in Fatou Xili, a kilometer away.

The fourth-generation high-end residential community jointly developed by Jiang's Group and the wealthy Qian Mankun originally intended to capitalize on the trend of relaxed living, and even planned to use "Slow Living" as its name.

They were even willing to give away a building as a naming rights fee. But this was directly rejected by Zhou Yaqin, the elderly lady who was in charge of the headquarters.

For Zhou Yaqin, tolerating these developers building commercial complexes, retirement communities, and high-end shopping malls around the tranquil, slow-paced area was already an immense favor. Did they really want to push their luck and use her brand name?
Although Zhou Yaqin was initially tempted by the pre-sale price of over 200,000 yuan per square meter in the community, after Zhao Xiaochui uttered the harsh words, "Whoever dares to do pre-sales, get out of Fatou," Zhou Yaqin immediately threw all those messy thoughts to the wind and focused solely on taking care of her own little plot of land.

The commercial and residential community of Fatou Xili adopts the latest fourth-generation residential concept, creating a futuristic architectural complex through designs such as terraced floors, sky gardens, and large-area open spaces.

Thanks to the "China Speed" of expedited construction, the project is nearing completion, with most buildings about to be topped out. Next, key processes such as door and window installation and top-notch landscaping will commence.

At this moment, two suppliers were anxiously waiting at the magnificent entrance.

One of them is the owner of "Huangzhu Aluminum Industry," who secured the entire order for system doors and windows for the entire residential complex. This batch of top-of-the-line doors and windows, made with aerospace-grade aluminum and high-end components, will generate a gross profit of at least 80 million yuan from this single order.

The other is the general manager of "Jinxiu Garden," who is in charge of the landscaping for the entire project. He will source rare tree species from all over the world and create an intelligent drip irrigation system. The profit from this deal is estimated to exceed 100 million yuan.

The two men rubbed their hands together, staring at the empty road in the distance, their hearts pounding with anxiety. Today, several senior executives from the client company were coming to inspect the preparations before they entered the site, which was crucial to whether they could successfully secure the down payment for this astronomical contract.

Just then, the deep sound of engines came from the road in the distance. Two black Rolls-Royce Phantoms slowly drove up to the construction site gate and stopped.

When the car door opened and they saw who got out, the two supplier bosses were shocked and their legs went weak. It turned out that the two people who came were Jiang Ying, the head of the Jiang Group, and Qian Mankun, the super-rich tycoon!

Jiang Ying glanced at the two nervous people and spoke directly, her expression not particularly pleasant:
"Are all the materials ready? Is the quality control process okay?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang! Everything is in place, absolutely top-notch!" The two men quickly bowed and replied. As long as the money was right, they were willing to kneel down and answer.

Qian Mankun smiled and patted the owner of "Huangzhu Aluminum" on the shoulder:

"Old Li, don't be nervous. We trust you."

After saying that, what left the two dumbfounded followed immediately. With Jiang Ying looking very unwilling, Qian Mankun made a phone call on the spot. A few minutes later, both of their phones received text messages from the company's finance department almost at the same time.

A huge sum of money has been received, far exceeding the industry standard of 30% prepayment, and almost reaching 70% of the full amount!

According to industry practice, this payment should have been settled in installments over several years after the project passed inspection. But now, there are no payment terms, no disputes, and the money is directly in my account!

The two of them were holding their phones, their hands trembling.

They all understood that the money wasn't for them, but for the suppliers who had been supporting the designer's elegant style and accompanying her on her journey of growth.
