The Self-Cultivation of a Reborn Massage Therapist

Chapter 487 The Development of Relaxed and Slow Travel

Shen Siyuan leisurely finished his breakfast, too lazy to make another trip, so he casually placed a delivery order on the mini-program, spending fifteen yuan to have the "ghost fire boy" deliver the packaged breakfast directly to his home.

He then strolled leisurely up to the second-floor rehabilitation center with his hands behind his back.

Although the main branch of Relaxing and Slow Travel reopened today, he couldn't possibly secure an appointment due to his physical condition. However, as a long-time member, he enjoys special benefits: he serves as a "teaching model," allowing trainee technicians to practice rehabilitation techniques under the guidance of senior technicians.

According to rumors circulating in the long-time members' group, the building's plans are about to undergo a major overhaul due to the expansion of the massage parlor. Soon, aside from retaining the first-floor cafeteria, the basement and third floor will be entirely converted into a rehabilitation center!

Old Shen walked up to the second floor, where the rehabilitation center was divided into two main areas by a full glass curtain wall, so transparent that he could see the situation in every corner.

In the teaching area on the left, many veteran members were lying on massage beds, while a group of senior technicians, whom Lao Shen had never seen before, were personally instructing the newcomers.

The ability to train senior technicians in large numbers is great news for both ordinary people and high-end clients.

These unfamiliar faces were clearly newly promoted senior technicians. They included visually impaired people and middle-aged women. Most of the newly promoted senior technicians at massage parlors fall into these two categories.

On the right side of the second floor is the real professional sports rehabilitation center, where sports medicine experts dressed in custom-made suits are doing loosening exercises for the guests.

The facility is equipped with high-end equipment such as a suspension system, an underwater treadmill, and a 3D motion capture device. With a quick glance, Lao Shen could see at least eight experts consulting patients at the same time. Among the patients were two sports stars who looked familiar to him.

I heard that a massage parlor poached all the sports rehabilitation departments from two top-tier hospitals! What's even more incredible is that the hospitals that were poached didn't utter a single word!
The prices here are outrageous, and medical insurance isn't accepted. But the results are undeniable! Word has spread, and booking an appointment is as difficult as at a massage parlor.

Thinking of this, Lao Shen's anger towards the fat man on the live stream flared up even more. With the massage parlor's business, does it need your promotion or your popular science explanation?
Your actions have completely destroyed the mystery surrounding massage parlors!

Those who initially scoffed at "metaphysical therapy" have now calmed down and started to think about it. With so many potential clients suddenly appearing, the future appointment slots will be in high demand!
Despite his complaints, Old Shen knew in his heart that it was thanks to the fat man's explanation that he understood the intricacies of the matter.

Now, no matter if the price rises from 288 or 888 to 2888 or 8888, as long as relatives or friends have the right ailment, he will definitely advise them to try both a massage parlor and a rehabilitation center once, regardless of their financial situation. It will definitely be worth it!

Before he came across the Easy Slow Walking program, the rehabilitation plan recommended by the experts he consulted was similar in principle to that of a massage parlor, but how could it require Lao Shen to stop working every twenty minutes to stretch? He simply couldn't do it!
I always think, "I'll do it after I'm done with this busy period," but I either forget about it as soon as I turn my head or I get lazy and just brush it off.

But ever since he received treatment from a senior technician at Easy Slow Walking, something amazing happened. For a whole week afterward, he was able to put down what he was doing and obediently finish his stretching routine on time!
Although the old injury is irreversible, at least the deterioration has been stabilized, and the quality of life has skyrocketed. I will no longer be woken up by pain and will wake up naturally every day!

He didn't understand the secret before, but the fat man's live stream enlightened him: the technicians could use the human body's "bugs" to make one treatment last for seven days!

Although it is unknown how he did it, it was during these precious seven days that he developed good rehabilitation habits.

This habit is priceless!
Just as Lao Shen was lost in thought, a gentle female voice came from the entrance of the teaching area:

"Mr. Shen!" The waitress with a ponytail waved and smiled. "It's your appointment time, please come in." Shen Siyuan snapped out of his reverie and frowned upon hearing the address.

"Xiao Huang, you used to call me Uncle Shen."

"The store has new regulations, so it's not allowed anymore~" The young woman explained with a professional smile as she led the way. Lin Wei, the person in charge of the teaching area, was already waiting in the waiting area, her eyes blindfolded.

After greeting him politely, Old Shen couldn't help but ask, "Why do you even have to change how you address me?"

"Because the nicknames of old customers will make new members feel like they have special privileges..." Xiao Huang explained in a low voice.

Old Shen was speechless for a moment. He felt that society was gradually turning this still somewhat warm massage parlor into a cold, commercial machine.

"Alright then." He sighed and sat up straight in front of Lin Wei: "Technician Lin, thank you for your trouble."

The young woman before him, who had once been suspended from her job for self-reflection, was now a top-tier masseuse at a massage parlor, whose services cost him dearly even for a single visit. But at this moment, he could enjoy her examination for free.

Surprisingly, Lin Wei didn't immediately take action, but instead asked softly:
"Mr. Shen, did you bring the medical records?"

"We didn't use it before?" Old Shen was taken aback.

Lin Wei explained helplessly, "You usually treat old ailments, but today's appointment is for new symptoms."

Xiao Huang quickly added, "The appointment confirmation said to bring your medical records..."

Having no other choice, Lao Shen reluctantly left the teaching area under the guidance of the young lady.

At the elevator entrance, he brushed past a group of middle-aged female technicians with bloodshot eyes. He recognized several of them as familiar faces who had been promoted and transferred to the head office. Two of them had even provided him with free services.

Old Shen didn't ask any more questions. He waited until the elevator doors closed before speaking: "What's wrong with them?"

The young woman, recognizing him as an old acquaintance, lowered her voice and said, "I got paid last month's salary today."

Payday is a good thing, why are you crying?

"The internship commissions are also quite high. Last month..." the young woman hesitated, "...each of them took home nearly 30,000 yuan."
