The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 45 A Sudden Circumstances
"She's nothing but a pretty face."

Still in OCT No. 1 Courtyard, the last customer tonight was Yu Xiaoning, who had just finished get off work.

At this moment, the beautiful woman, now dressed in her home clothes, lay exhausted on the massage bed, her fair shoulders and neck bearing faint red marks from the collar of her suit.

Zhao Xiaochui stood to the side and massaged her abdomen.

Perhaps because he was busy with work, the woman's recovery was not as smooth as he had expected. The heat that remained in her body had been completely depleted, forcing him to work overtime to replenish it.

“I don’t think I have much in common with my peers in Beijing,” Zhao Xiaochui said while busy with his work, answering the question Yu Xiaoning had just brought up.

"According to what's said online, they're mobile internet natives. As for me? I only got my first mobile phone last year. We're not even on the same wavelength for a normal conversation."

Yu Xiaoning smiled and said, "When that Boss Guo asked my uncle about you, I thought he had some ulterior motives."

"She probably asked about the skill level. That girl had done it at the shop before and probably thought the results were good. Since she couldn't get an appointment at the shop, she had to ask her parents for permission to have the service done at home."

Zhao Xiaochui thought for a moment and then understood what was going on.

"That girl is too lazy and afraid of surgery. I guess her parents understand that if this situation continues, even if she finds a suitable partner, she won't be happy after marriage."

"Oh?" Yu Xiaoning's interest was piqued, and her tired eyes brightened slightly. "Why?"

It seems that even strong women enjoy a bit of gossip.

"Because apart from her face, her whole body feels completely unfeeling!"

Zhao Xiaochui said in a very professional tone, "If you close your eyes and put your hand on that girl, you won't even know where your hand is touching!"
You thought it was a leg, but it turned out to be a buttock; you thought it was a back, but when you opened your eyes, hey, it was a chest!

"Little Hammer, you're so mean."

Yu Xiaoning burst into laughter, but the movement aggravated her abdomen, causing her to furrow her brow and reach out to touch the painful spot.

This was exactly the effect Zhao Xiaochui wanted. He easily found the sore spot by following Yu Xiaoning's hand, and the warm current traveled around her right hand from there. Before long, Yu Xiaoning's face regained its rosy color.

"Okay, all done. Sister Xiaoning, please pay in cash this time."

Yu Xiaoning got up, her movements so smooth they surprised her. She glanced at Zhao Xiaochui, and when she saw the sweat on his forehead, she didn't say anything more. She went into her bedroom and took out a wad of banknotes.

Zhao Xiaochui counted the money and took out a portion to return to her: "As agreed, the service fee is 5000, and the home visit plus physical examination is 2000, making a total of 7,000."

Yu Xiaoning was a little embarrassed when she took it. She had just wanted to say that countless people outside were willing to spend ten or a hundred times more to get the same treatment effect, but the vast majority of them had nowhere to turn.

"I remember you always deposited your money in the bank as soon as you had it, so why do you need cash again this time?"

After carefully putting the money away, Zhao Xiaochui quickly packed his things. Tonight's customers were mostly attractive women. The hot-blooded Zhao Xiaochui had been holding back for half the night and was now eager to go to the KTV.

"It seems like Liu Li has something urgent going on, so I thought I'd prepare some money and go check on her."

Upon hearing about KTV, Yu Xiaoning couldn't help but say, "Xiao Chui, when dealing with women in those kinds of places in Beijing, you must be careful."

She spoke with a cautious tone, and Yu Xiaoning hadn't felt this awkward in a long time.

Normally, when facing a young person like Zhao Xiaochui—no, a young person that age isn't even qualified to appear before her; she's dealing with elites who have been through the ups and downs of society for years—she can reprimand them without hesitation. But with Zhao Xiaochui…

Yu Xiaoning thought with great mixed feelings, would there ever be a time when he needed her help?

“They never played any tricks on me, unlike you guys.”

Some blunt words interrupted Yu Xiaoning's reverie, and she looked up in shock.

Zhao Xiaochui didn't look at her. He placed a set of massage supplies on the table and began loading the other items onto the trolley.
“Li Ying is the only outsider I have ‘contacted’. She was introduced by Secretary Liu, and at the time, Sister Pang did not object.”

"You guys were just using Li Ying's injury to test my skills, weren't you?"

"..." Zhao Xiaochui didn't expect Yu Xiaoning to answer; he just wanted to analyze some things using his limited social experience.
"OCT is not considered a high-end area in Beijing."

To the west are Shanshui Wenyuan and Fuli City, and to the east are a cluster of villa areas, not to mention the wealthy and powerful families in the city.

With Fatty's social connections, she could have brought me even higher-end clients. The reason she hasn't is simply to protect me, a junior colleague. She wants me to take things one step at a time and not get lost in a chaotic world all at once.

Why didn't she stop Li Ying?

Yu Xiaoning: "..."

Zhao Xiaochui packed up the trolley, scratched his head, and looked at the strong woman with a troubled expression.

"Sister Pang isn't a native of Fatou, and she's not particularly close to Secretary Liu or you. So, Yu Xiaoning, you and Sister Pang met through work, right?"
What exactly do you do for a living?

Yu Xiaoning thought for a moment and said, "***Deputy Director of Human Resources."

"What exactly is it?"

Zhao Xiaochui was a little annoyed; he hated it when people used such high-sounding terms that he didn't understand.

"You said you were in a car accident in the city, but look at your injuries. Even at 80 kilometers per hour, you wouldn't be in such a serious accident."

So you don't need to mention anything confidential. I just want to ask, what impact will your treatment have on me? Will I personally face any danger in the future?

Yu Xiaoning quickly shook his head: "Xiao Chui, you're overthinking it. I'm mainly in charge of talent recruitment. The car accident that day was mainly targeting an expert. We were discussing seniority and benefits with him at the time, and we just happened to get caught in the crossfire."

Zhao Xiaochui: "What do experts do, and where do they come from?"

"In the field of integrated circuits, the United States."

"What is that?"

Yu Xiaoning pointed to the phone in his hand: "Similar to a mobile phone chip."

Zhao Xiaochui checked his phone, unlocked it, and typed in the keywords 'chip', 'talent introduction', 'China', 'America'...

The search results came out, and they were very disorganized. He flipped through them page by page, constantly changing platforms and keywords, including Xiaobaishu (a Chinese learning platform) and short videos...

Then he looked at his phone, then at Yu Xiaoning, and then at the 'car accident,' 'plane crash,' and various other accidents on his phone. Suddenly, he didn't want to say anything anymore. He put his phone away, grabbed his trolley, and left.
"Just now, while you couldn't help laughing, I found the last inflamed spot in your abdominal cavity. The technique I used was learned from those girls."

They trusted me, let me do whatever I wanted, and didn't even ask for money. You should thank them, really.

However, you don't need to go over to thank me specifically. I'm teaching them SPA techniques, which will be beneficial to your injury. They will also join in the treatment of your injury in a month.

Zhao Xiaochui opened the door, and before leaving, turned back one last time and said:
"Ms. Yu Xiaoning, starting tomorrow, the service price will increase tenfold!"

"Bang~"

The door was slammed shut.

Outside the door, Zhao Xiaochui stared at the trolley beside him. With the massage bed and some massage products on it, plus the weight of the trolley itself, it didn't look light at all.

The heat flow was activated and quickly circulated through his body. Zhao Xiaochui extended his right little finger and gently lifted the trolley, causing the heavy trolley to instantly lift off the ground.

"Let's not fly for now. By the way, do I even need to fly at any time..."

…………

Inside the door, Yu Xiaoning stared blankly at the closed door.

"Pfft~"
