The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 106 I Want to Eat

Zhao Xiaochui treats everyone equally, using traditional Chinese medicine internal energy massage on all customers regardless of their price.

The difference is that 888 is thorough and comprehensive, while 88's time is extremely short; once the guest's appointment is completed, they are allowed to leave.

Even this is considered a perk.

No one could say anything; in the eyes of the elderly people in the shop, the child's sweat hadn't stopped all morning.

The fussy old man in the waiting area quieted down under the condemning gazes of others, allowing the waitress to focus on making tea and water for Zhao Xiaochui.

The young lady was the first employee at the new store. Her name was Pan Xiaoli, and she was a poor relative of Secretary Liu from the neighborhood committee. She was quite pretty, with bright eyes and white teeth.

According to the hiring criteria set by Easy Slow Travel this morning, she definitely wouldn't qualify; she just got lucky.

Moreover, the young lady was hardworking and dedicated, which Zhao Xiaochui found very appealing.

Time passed, and by the time Zhao Xiaochui changed into her work clothes for the third day, the three massage beds in the workroom were already full of customers.

For those who need sleep, Zhao Xiaochui doesn't mind if they sleep a little longer.

Fortunately, all of 888's work has been completed.

Upon arriving at the massage parlor, I found the atmosphere to be rather quiet.

"Little Hammer, do you want to take a break? I'm not in a hurry here."

A lucky guest asked a thoughtful question.

"You're not worried, but I am." Secretary Liu got up and followed Zhao Xiaochui into the massage hall. He was also one of the lucky ones today. He wanted to explain to Zhao Xiaochui because he had been scolded in the middle of the night.

"Little Hammer, I was so focused on Principal Xie yesterday that I didn't even notice Boss Hua greeting me."

Zhao Xiaochui didn't believe this. He suggested replacing Hua Jie with Jiang Ying and seeing if the man would notice.

Ordinary people can't hear you no matter how loud the voice is when you're face to face; but even if powerful people are far away and speak softly, they will feel that your voice is deafening.

He didn't reply, but instead looked at Da Qiao's stance for a while. Seeing that Da Qiao had "entered the gate" of the stance, he nodded with satisfaction.

After Secretary Liu had already collapsed, Zhao Xiaochui turned around and started working on him. The stagnation of the past few days was immediately absorbed and amplified by the heat.

"Secretary Liu, I'm entrusting the meeting with the leaders from the District Disabled Persons' Federation and other organizations at noon to you."

Secretary Liu didn't care about his attitude. This young man had such confidence, and the harsh realities of society probably wouldn't affect him: "Little Hammer, how are those ten young men doing?"

"They're still learning at the old shop. There are two very talented girls who will be coming over in the next couple of days to start a new project. There are two other people who just don't have any talent, so let's not hold them back."

Secretary Liu: "Okay, I'll talk to them later. By the way, how many more people do you need?"

Zhao Xiaochui: "As long as they have talent and good character, the more the merrier."

Secretary Liu: "I understand having talent, but good character? What aspect are you referring to?"

Zhao Xiaochui thought for a moment: "Down-to-earth, doesn't like to cause trouble, Secretary Liu, you've come to me to learn real skills."

After saying that, Zhao Xiaochui stopped.

Secretary Liu stood up: "Don't worry, I will have a good talk with the leaders at noon and apologize to Boss Hua as well."

Zhao Xiaochui nodded with a stern face.

Secretary Liu chuckled, patted him hard on the shoulder twice, and turned to leave.

Zhao Xiaochui then made a face at his back.

“Little Hammer,” a regular customer lying next to him hummed and said with a smile, “that’s the street secretary, your attitude is not proper.”

“Uncle Wang, I was just being a little temperamental with him,” Zhao Xiaochui observed his state and asked with concern, “Uncle Wang, has Da Qiao’s cooking changed?”

"Hey~ you know what," Grandpa Wang exclaimed, "this kid really got me all tangled up!"

A thorough massage is one of the best affirmations a customer can give a massage therapist; this is the power of mastering standing meditation.

Grandpa Wang's affirmation, imbued with the unique characteristics of Beijing, allowed Zhao Xiaochui to relax a little from the tension she felt due to her work.

So he jokingly asked, "Uncle Wang, many of my VIP guests are locals from Beijing. How should we flatter them in our Beijing dialect?" "That's easy!" Uncle Wang perked up and said in a deep voice, "For the older ones, you praise their longevity, you say: 'Old man, you're still alive!' For the younger ones, you greet them like this: 'You little rascal, you're still alive!'"

Zhao Xiaochui: "..."

Grandpa Wang wasn't finished: "By the way, Little Hammer, you're talking about the second floor, right? There are more female customers on the second floor, you have to praise it like that..."

Grandpa Wang smacked his lips: "I want to eat your zaba~"

Da Qiao: "..."

Zhao Xiaochui: "..."

This is truly disrespectful to an elder; Zhao Xiaochui was both amused and exasperated.

"Little Hammer~" After joking, Grandpa Wang said leisurely, "You're only nineteen years old. At this age, even if you're not into playing with dogs or walking birds, you should at least have some hobbies that young people have."

Zhao Xiaochui: "I love my work."

Grandpa Wang: "Work doesn't count as a hobby."

Zhao Xiaochui: "Hey, tell me, I want to learn."

"What about women?" Old Wang thought for a moment, "Young people have lots of energy, that thing is fun~"

Zhao Xiaochui was both amused and exasperated by the old bastard. He raised his right hand and patted Da Qiao's lower back before leaving.

The heat flowed in, completely solidifying Da Qiao's stance and Tiger-Taming Armor.

As a result, Grandpa Wang also benefited a little.

Da Qiao: "..."

"..." Grandpa Wang clearly sensed it too, and sighed, "Da Qiao, I'm also a half-remnant of the old regime, and I've seen a lot. I really did encounter such an extraordinary person when I was young."

Da Qiao asked curiously, "How so?"

Grandpa Wang: "He didn't live long."

Da Qiao laughed: "Uncle Wang, do you think my master is a fool?"

"That's pretty stupid," Old Wang said, a bit infuriatingly. "If I were him..."

“You’re not him,” Da Qiao’s words were even more infuriating, “so all you can do now is tease dogs and walk birds, and talk a good game.”

"Hey~"

…………

The morning is almost over, and there are still three important guests to be served in the waiting area.

Zhao Xiaochui can handle genuine guests with ease, but he is somewhat at a loss when faced with guests who have ulterior motives.

The three guests had all witnessed his work that morning, so Zhao Xiaochui didn't need to show off anything.

The guests from the National Audit Office were very cooperative, remaining silent throughout. Zhao Xiaochui used traditional Chinese medicine internal energy massage to make them feel that Yu Xiaoning's 80 yuan prepayment was worthwhile.

As for the Discipline Inspection Commission...

"Just 88 yuan..." the person sighed. "How many outfits have you changed this morning?"

"Four sets," Zhao Xiaochui answered honestly.

"Can I make back the 88 yuan?"

"This is a discount for the neighborhood during the trial operation period," Zhao Xiaochui said. "The price will increase later, and there are also projects priced at 888."

Zhao Xiaochui hesitated to make a move on this person. He felt the warmth of the massage was neither hot nor cold, so he couldn't say whether the customer on the massage bed was good or bad.

"Don't you only mobilize when you decide to investigate someone? Has something happened to Ms. Yu?"

Out of concern for the female HR, he boldly asked.
