The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 168 Ono

Chapter 168 Ono
Zhao Xiaochui wasn't planning to do anything.

Instead, it was through a series of messages from the fat receptionist's workplace that he began to think about some things.

The message was very simple, just some numbers.

That was the "reward" he deserved after sneaking into the United States from Mexico and erasing several household registrations.

The reward came from the bank accounts of the deceased, with 20% automatically transferred to his name according to a pre-agreed ratio.

The commissions transferred from Lou Xiaobao's account alone amounted to more than 20 million yuan.

"..."

Based on his knowledge from his previous life, he had already achieved initial financial freedom.

But that wasn't the main point. What truly unsettled Zhao Xiaochui was Lei Zhen's hesitant expression and the fragments of his past life's memories. The two corroborated each other, and a bold guess gradually took shape—

Five years later, those three so-called unicorn companies didn't exist at all!
Until his rebirth, he had never heard of the name Yu Xiaoning.

So, how many crimes did Old Man Lou, this unparalleled genius who entered the world of internal martial arts, commit? And how many people were implicated?
Zhao Xiaochui believed that even without him, the fat receptionist would eventually choose an extreme method to get rid of Old Man Lou and then completely bury his incriminating evidence.

However, that was five years later, or even longer.

How many irreversible things will Old Man Lou do during this long period of time?
Looking at the overwhelming amount of trending news on the internet, all trying to divert public attention, Zhao Xiaochui suddenly realized:

It wasn't the intervention of a "big leader" from the Ministry of Science and Technology that disrupted the balance, but rather the secret revealed by Old Man Lou, who was terrified by the fat receptionist, had reached a point where no one could suppress it!
After months of careful training by the chubby receptionist, Zhao Xiaochui has been completely transformed. He is no longer the naive young man who was just focused on his work and oblivious to the world at the beginning of his rebirth.

He reflected on his initial recklessness and the impulsiveness he felt when he first received the cheat code.

He dared to try those experiments on girls without considering the consequences, even though they were explicitly prohibited in textbooks.

Why bring Ono back?
It's self-deception to say you're not angry after being betrayed.

However, without Ono and those twelve girls, his mastery of the cheat ability would never have progressed so rapidly.

Old Qin might still be scavenging for scraps, Yangyang might still be squatting in some dark corner, and Ma Jinfang might die silently in some forgotten corner.

Yu Xiaoning will still encounter that "accident," and he and the fat receptionist will forever fall in that dirty rain and fog.

Therefore, Ono must come back!

Zhao Xiaochui made up his mind, straightened his back, walked into the relaxed walking area, and began a new day's work.

…………

Meanwhile, Ono was also working.

The Platinum Spa, the closest place to a relaxing and leisurely pace of life, is located inside the Renaissance Shuangjing five-star hotel.

A familiar yet unfamiliar work environment.

The familiarity stems from Ono's past experience in a similar environment.

It feels unfamiliar because it happened a long time ago.

Stepping into this opulent spa, the whispers about her in the tea room suddenly became particularly jarring.

Her casual clothes today were a little revealing, and they started gossiping that she was trying to "climb the social ladder by relying on her looks"; but yesterday she dressed very conservatively, and they called her a "stiff old maid".

Being isolated by a small group is nothing compared to the "gaslighting effect," where people try to distort the facts to portray her as a mean and ungrateful person.

In just a few days, Platinum Ling Therapy demonstrated the ruthless side of the workplace.

Ono didn't wallow in self-pity because of this, because she had been through the same thing.

She was simply reminiscing about how she had initially fit in at that karaoke bar.
To be precise, it wasn't that she actively tried to fit in; rather, she tried to use her cunning to steal her sister's "big spender," only to be severely beaten up by a tough girl from Northeast China along with the customer.

After that, she behaved herself and adhered to the survival rule of KTV—be kind to others.

If anyone makes things difficult for her again, before she can even try to retaliate with her clever tricks, Sister Hua and Guo Guo will step forward to help her.

And so, she gradually settled down.

I don't earn much, but it's not a small amount either; at least I can live like a "human being."

What happens when they get old and lose their beauty?

Ono dared not think about it, and none of her sisters dared to think about it.

Until I met that young masseur...

Platinum Feather Therapy Domain recruited more than just her.

The women aren't stupid; even if someone was interested, they didn't make any rash moves.

Because they know nothing about this industry. If it were a different KTV, nightclub, or bathhouse, they could probably offer some explanation.

However, the high-end spa industry is too closed off; these women haven't even reached that level, let alone gained the relevant knowledge. These women never stop others from pursuing a better life.

But is this really "better"? What exactly is "better" about taking it easy and slow? They should find out.

So, Ono stepped forward.

While pursuing a better life, I also want to explore the possibilities for those women who are interested.

Guoguo disagreed.

Ono did not listen.

Because she knew that even if she didn't step forward, other women would step forward as the prices offered by Platinum Feather Therapy Domain increased.

They might go even further in that situation.

Just like what she did to Zhao Xiaochui, a woman's heart is the easiest to change.

At least she stood up and, while pursuing a better life, she didn't intend to be ungrateful!

She wanted to create a way out for that large family and for that passionate, homeless masseur.

If anything else happens, she'll support him!

…………

At this moment, the gossip in the tea room finally stopped.

Ono smiled slightly, stopped the phone recording, checked the file size, and then uploaded it to the sisters' group.

A moment later, the group chat became lively.

"Haha, this feels so familiar, so familiar!"

"Yes, yes, that's how I was bullied back then."

“This is nothing. When I was doing dance training, my colleagues and parents were much worse.”

"Talking behind someone's back to their face is bad enough, but has Ono encountered anything more outrageous?"

Ono thought for a moment, then typed:
"Does arranging my rest area next to the photocopier count?"

"There was also a bugging device hidden in a concealed place."

“There’s a technician who has a ‘good relationship’ with the back-end administrator. Apart from the customers specially arranged for me, I haven’t had a single hour of service these past few days.”

"Put my lunch in the trash."

"I overheard their conversation last night and they were planning to set me up!"

"..." This is Liu Li's ellipsis, followed by some "I'm so scared" emoticons.

After a moment of silence, someone in the group spoke up and asked:
What are the salary and benefits like?

That's the most important thing: as long as you earn a lot, all the grievances are not a problem.

"I was publicly humiliated by Little Hammer, and he gave me 200,000 yuan. My starting salary was double that of Easy Slow Travel, at 8000 yuan. The commission remained the same, but I mainly work with the highest-end clients. The prices are very high. As long as it's effective, earning over six figures is not a problem."

At this moment, Guoguo spoke up:

Are you sure you can maintain the effectiveness indefinitely?

Upon seeing this message, Ono stopped typing and sighed sadly.

"Sister Guoguo, I'm not sure."

"My movements are becoming increasingly clumsy."

"I can never calm my mind when I practice the Six Healing Sounds in the morning."

"The thought of going out to spend money or travel keeps popping into my head."

"I suddenly remembered the luxury handbag that I had long forgotten about."

"I also want to upgrade to a flagship phone set."

"I was thinking about investing, so I searched online a few times, and it kept pushing A-share market quotes to me..."

"Sister Guoguo, I've thought about so many things, but I haven't thought about how to do my job well or how to serve the customers well."

"What's wrong with me?"
