The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 164 Jiang Ying (Part 1)

"If she is willing to come back, I will not put any obstacles in her way."

Jiang Ying's voice echoed in the spacious SPA room, carrying a hint of barely perceptible languor.

She lay on her back on the massage bed, the soft mattress slightly sinking in, supporting her graceful curves.

The silk bathrobe was casually open, revealing the graceful figure wrapped in linen underwear and large expanses of crystal-clear skin that shimmered softly under the light.

Zhao Xiaochui focused on massaging her flat stomach, fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead and sliding down his cheeks.

With each treatment, Jiang Ying's abdomen became firmer and stronger, and the surgical scars that were originally faintly visible faded to almost invisible.

With skin like that, a figure like that, and an aura like that, people would readily believe she's only in her twenties.

Unfortunately, Zhao Xiaochui's attention was not entirely focused on the beautiful and mature woman in front of him.

His thoughts had already drifted to Ono, the girl he longed for.

"Zhao Xiaochui, whether you're spoiling women or family, you can't be without principles or bottom lines, otherwise you'll be harming them!"

Seeing that Zhao Xiaochui did not respond for a long time, Jiang Ying softened her tone and patiently advised, "Going out and making your way in the world, experiencing a few storms, is better than any well-intentioned advice!"

Zhao Xiaochui then came to his senses. He raised his head and stared at Jiang Ying's beautiful face, trying to catch a trace of real emotion from her calm expression.

"You gave her a kickback of 200,000 yuan, and also paid her a sky-high non-compete agreement of nearly 300,000 yuan for Easy Slow Travel. Plus, your monthly salary there must be quite high, right?"

He asked slowly.

Jiang Ying nodded slightly, agreeing with his statement.

"If, in a short period of time, or even a long period of time, she cannot earn back this value for you, how will you treat her?" Zhao Xiaochui's tone carried a hint of barely perceptible worry.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying frowned slightly, seemingly puzzled by his question.

"What do you mean?" she asked back.

Zhao Xiaochui did not answer immediately, but slowly moved his gaze down from her face, past her slender swan neck, her high and alluring curves, and finally settled on her fair and flat abdomen.

"You spent the whole day in the old house that day?" he asked casually.

Jiang Ying's face flushed slightly, as if he had seen through her thoughts. "Mm," she replied softly.

"You arrested three old men?" Zhao Xiaochui continued to press.

“It was more of an assistance,” Jiang Ying explained. “My sister is a public servant and has some connections with Chen Guifen. She was in charge of coordinating the arrest.”

Zhao Xiaochui nodded, indicating that he understood. "In return, I'll tell you the answer to the question you just asked."

He paused, took a deep breath, and said, "Close your eyes and breathe in rhythm with me."

Sweat instantly poured from Zhao Xiaochui's pores. He circulated his internal energy, silently chanting the "exhale" mantra, guiding Jiang Ying into a clear and relaxed state, completing a small cycle.

Five minutes later, Jiang Ying opened her eyes in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Zhao Xiaochui slowly raised his hand and exhaled a long breath. At this moment, his hand and Jiang Ying's lower abdomen were clean and refreshed, without any oil stains, which meant that all the essential oil had been completely absorbed.

"This is...?" Jiang Ying's voice trembled slightly, clearly shocked by what she had just experienced.

“This is what Ono used to be able to do!” Zhao Xiaochui said softly, gently helping her put on her bathrobe. “But…”

"Did you feel that cycle?" he continued.

"After being a capitalist for so long, it's rare that you still haven't forgotten your original intentions and can maintain a harmonious state of mind and spirit."

"However, you should notice how many hurdles there are in that cycle. If any one of them suddenly goes up or down, the cycle..."

"It broke."

Jiang Ying: "What consequences will this cause?" Zhao Xiaochui: "Xiao Ye will be no better than an ordinary SPA technician, let alone create value for you."

"..."

When the conversation turned to ancient metaphysics, the businesswoman's train of thought faltered a bit, and she raised her delicate hand.

Zhao Xiaochui understood and quickly stepped forward to help him up.

Jiang Ying was helped to sit up by him, and then she raised her hand, this time even her armpits were exposed, and her alluring curves were vaguely visible.

Zhao Xiaochui sighed helplessly, thinking to himself, "Well, she did contribute to this incident too." He lowered his head, reached out his arms, picked up the beautiful woman, took a few steps, and carefully settled her on the comfortable sofa in the lounge area.

Zhao Xiaochui sat down opposite her.

Jiang Ying casually crossed her legs, and glimpses of her cleavage were briefly visible beneath her bathrobe.

Although Zhao Xiaochui had already admired her beautiful figure during the massage, seeing her with clothes on and without clothes on was a completely different experience; the former had a more alluring, hazy quality.

"Zhao Xiaochui, let's not talk about Xiaoye for now. I'd like to ask you for a favor," Jiang Ying said.

"What kind of help?" Zhao Xiaochui asked.

“Let’s review this matter!” Jiang Ying’s tone became serious.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaochui remained silent. He had a confidentiality agreement with the Security Bureau, which meant he had to keep many things to himself.

However, this seasoned businesswoman, who had been in the business world for many years, didn't need him to say a word; she could guess what was going on just by looking at his expression.

"Do you know Yu Xiaoning?" Zhao Xiaochui tried to change the subject.

His methods seemed somewhat naive, and Jiang Ying barely managed to suppress her laughter before nodding slightly.

This evening, SMIC Investment Management Co., Ltd. issued an announcement stating that Yu Xiaoning has been promoted to the position of Human Resources Director and will temporarily preside over company affairs!

Jiang Ying recounted the news she had just received and analyzed the impact of the matter for Zhao Xiaochui.

"China has revealed this special talent to everyone, to everyone—if you dare to make a move again, we'll blow up your whole family!"

Of course, they had no idea that the person in front of them had already embedded the entire family of the victim into the wall.

A household registration booklet, all neatly arranged.

However, Zhao Xiaochui didn't seem like someone who would wipe out an entire family register. He asked curiously:

"Is she great?"

"In one year, I led three startups, which have the potential to become industry unicorns."

Jiang Ying sighed, and seeing that Zhao Xiaochui was still confused, she patiently gave an example, "Take Silicon Future, a startup company, as an example. Their three core layouts—8-inch silicon carbide substrates, gallium nitride RF chips, and automotive-grade power modules—are all aimed at replacing American products."

Yu Xiaoning's vision is precise and unique; the talent structure he designed has unleashed unimaginable efficiency, and the progress he has made has even made some investors uneasy… So, do you understand now?

Zhao Xiaochui nodded, indicating that he understood. Although he hadn't heard of some of the technical terms, he had heard about investors offering bounties.

"The scheme orchestrated by Chen Guifen and Yu Xiaoning is a grand scheme!"

Jiang Ying sighed, "Everything happened as a natural outcome. Everything they did was in line with the trend and guided the situation. No one in the Heavenly Bureau could detect anything unusual. The only unusual thing here is you, Zhao Xiaochui!"

Zhao Xiaochui: "..."

“If someone investigates you first, they will naturally find Chen Guifen hiding behind the scenes.”

Jiang Ying continued, "But this hidden danger was eliminated by me, by Wang Churan!"
