The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 171 The Beginning of the Great Massage Therapist
The two guests were a man and a woman.

Zhao Xiaochui nodded politely, not recognizing the woman.

The man was Qian Yuzhe, a former supplier of high-end consumables and medical devices. Zhao Xiaochui rolled her eyes at him.

Qian Yuzhe smiled awkwardly and said with a fawning smile, "Mr. Zhao, let me introduce you. This is Ms. Pei Shutong, CEO of Platinum Ling Therapy Chain Group."

Intellectual and elegant, capable and refined, with a touch of mystery.

This is the impression the female CEO gave Zhao Xiaochui: the image of a true businesswoman.

Yu Xiaoning has too much of an official air about her; Jiang Ying is more like a super socialite from a high-end social circle; the one in front of her is the confident and capable professional manager that Zhao Xiaochui remembers.

As for why it's a woman again?
Just like Jiang Ying said, the men in this industry aren't innocent.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao."

Pei Shutong sat gracefully on the sofa, her posture upright and confident, head held high and chest out, her gaze towards Zhao Xiaochui carrying a hint of scrutiny.

This made Zhao Xiaochui somewhat hesitant.

He wanted to act like he was going to wipe out someone's household registration, but then he thought better of it and decided to talk to Qian Yuzhe to ease the tension.

He glared at the supplier: "What are you doing here?"

Qian Yuzhe chuckled awkwardly and remained silent.

“Mr. Zhao, I asked him to bring me in,” Pei Shutong, who was intelligent and capable, said. “It’s not easy to get into Relaxing Moments, but luckily you didn’t cancel his membership.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xiaochui immediately turned to Ou Xiaokui and said, "Add him to the blacklist."

He hasn't had time to deal with this yet. He's just dealing with one today. Once he has some free time, he'll have a lot more blacklists.

The junior accountant nodded vigorously.

"No, Mr. Zhao..." Qian Yuzhe panicked and slowed down, realizing he didn't know how many more years his aching back could hold out.

With elderly and young members in his family, all of whom are high spenders, if he were to stop striving, the whole family would starve.

Zhao Xiaochui ignored the supplier and looked at Pei Shutong with a serious expression, desperately trying to cheer himself up.

"Mr. Zhao, a few days ago, Platinum Ling Therapy threatened to cancel the supply contract, demanding that Mr. Qian cut off the supply and move on easily."

Pei Shutong's lips curled slightly upwards, giving her an approachable yet confident air.

"If Mr. Qian refuses, then his only option is bankruptcy."

Zhao Xiaochui stared at her oval face, his gaze involuntarily shifting downwards. Her shoulders and neck were smooth and free of wrinkles, making her look quite young.

That's some serious skincare... she's definitely an expert!

"Is Ms. Pei here to discuss the reservation system?"

Zhao Xiaochui decided to get straight to the point.

"Yes."

Pei Shutong replied with a smile.

Zhao Xiaochui frowned: "We haven't signed any agreements yet, isn't it a bit premature to talk about this?"

“I’m here for this agreement,” Pei Shutong said, taking out her notebook and looking at Zhao Xiaochui seriously. “Since you’ve disregarded Platinum Ling Medical Domain’s 49% stake, please tell me your cooperation requirements, Mr. Zhao.”

These words made Zhou Yaqin, who had just arrived to bolster the situation, raise an eyebrow, abandon her thoughts of picking a fight, and quietly sit down next to Zhao Xiaochui.

The presence of the financial elite greatly reduced Zhao Xiaochui's pressure.

He also took out his notebook, which contained many of his ideas, which he had revised and edited.

He doesn't care about 49% of Platinum Ling Therapy's shares, even if they're worth hundreds of millions or billions. What he wants is for no one to dare to hold him by the throat anymore!
"I want roses, jasmine, tea tree, mint, lemon, sweet orange, rosemary, eucalyptus, ylang-ylang..."

As Zhao Xiaochui recounted his story, even Qian Yuzhe pulled out his notebook and began to write it down.

Pei Shutong, however, calmly wrote two words on the notebook:
All!

Two or three minutes later, Zhao Xiaochui took the tea that Pan Xiaoli handed him, moistened his throat, and then looked at the notebook in his hand.

"..."

After a moment, Zhao Xiaochui looked up, bewildered, and asked, "Where did I get to?"

"Pfft~" Ou Xiaokui covered her mouth.

"Slap!" Zhou Yaqin helplessly slapped her face with both hands.

Pei Shutong finally broke down, shaking his head and laughing, "Boss Zhao, what you want is the supply chain." "Oh, right, that's what I mean." Zhao Xiaochui nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Yaqin couldn't take it anymore and pushed him away.

“A small but complete essential oil production company doesn’t need to be large in scale, but it should cover the entire industrial chain from raw material planting, extraction, research and development, and brand operation. Ideally, it should have its own organic planting base.”

"Real estate investment?" Pei Shutong frowned, worried about his future business partner. "Locally..."

“That’s our business,” Zhou Yaqin said without changing her expression.

“Then there’s no problem.” Pei Shutong nodded. “Besides the conditions you’ve requested, Chuncheng Tiancao Company, a subsidiary of Platinum Ling Therapy, also owns a 10,000-mu organic planting base, but its value is probably less than 3% of Platinum Ling Therapy’s.”

"enough!"

This time, Zhou Yaqin didn't speak, and Zhao Xiaochui made the decision.

He turned to Qian Yuzhe and asked, "If we want to make use of the space that's been freed up by Relaxing & Slow Travel, can we replace all the massage beds, spa equipment, and daily supplies with domestically made alternatives?"

After saying that, Zhao Xiaochui added, "Purchase from companies that comply with labor laws."

"..."

The scene fell silent. People stared at Zhao Xiaochui as if he were a monster. Then, Qian Yuzhe let out a deep sigh.

“In the textile industry alone, you simply cannot find such a company.”

"Then you can get a small one!" Zhao Xiaochui pulled out his bank card and placed it on the coffee table. "I'll give you a deposit, guaranteeing easy and fast payment, and the price will be based on the cost price of imported goods of the same grade, but import tax will be deducted."

"What do you say?"

Qian Yuzhe stared at him blankly: "Made in China?"

“Made in China!” Zhao Xiaochui nodded, looking at his notebook, and gave an example: “Domestic SPA series products are priced at 280-350, while imported products of the same quality cost over 600. I’ll give you 450.”

Qian Yuzhe was tempted.

How difficult is it to open a small factory in a super textile powerhouse?

Most importantly, he had a supplier who offered prices higher than the domestic average, paid on delivery, and even provided a deposit...

"Just comply with the Labor Law..."

He asked in a murmur.

"The Labor Law is the bottom line!" Zhao Xiaochui glared at him. "Is it so hard to treat the people who make money for you well?"

“It’s not difficult!” Qian Yuzhe shook his head. “I can guarantee it with the purchase contract.”

"I don't need your promises, but from the moment you started treating your employees harshly, you won't even be able to enter the door to a relaxed and leisurely life."

"An inspector system?" Qian Yuzhe had no intention of doing so, so he didn't take the threat seriously and just asked casually.

"We don't have the time."

Zhao Xiaochui was referring to the heat flow.

"By the way, I meant all consumables and medical equipment, domestic alternatives!"

"Mr. Zhao, what are you after?"

"I seek clarity of mind and unity of spirit and energy; otherwise, where would my skills come from?"

"Take it easy and slow, cooperate with people, give massages, not those bastards!"

"..."

These are the conditions under which Zhao Xiaochui did not want 49%.

Of course, there's also Ono.

"Remember to return Ono."

“Mr. Zhao, we will not create any obstacles on our side, and the contract can be voided at any time.”

Pei Shutong wouldn't interfere in matters involving personal feelings. She would go back and issue a notice: if the girl named Xiaoye didn't leave, did she have to coax her?
"By the way, Mr. Zhao, I received a call from your hometown a couple of days ago."

“He threatened me, saying that if I made things difficult for you again, I’d be in trouble.”

Zhao Xiaochui: "..."
