Chapter 35
350% Luck
It had just passed nine in the morning. Color Hair had already been waiting at the entrance of the dorm for the apprentices.
Seeing Li Muyao jog back from outside in sportswear, he immediately rushed forward. “Sister Yao, I heard that my aunt talked to you last night?”
No wonder Color Hair had been anxious for the whole night and couldn’t even sleep well.
In the middle of the night yesterday, his aunt came to his home and said she wanted to poach Li Muyao to her aesthetic clinic to be the manager.
Color Hair went to bed at almost one because he had to prepare for the charity event.
And yet, he was stunned by what his aunt suddenly said before he could fall asleep.
Other people might not know what his aunt’s aesthetic clinic was like, but Color Hair knew clearly.
And because Color Hair knew about it, he was worried for Li Muyao.
“No matter what Aunt Sixiu says, don’t say yes. Do you know that Aunt Sixiu’s beauty salon has a lot of services and it’s an aesthetic clinic?
“Most importantly, my aunt’s beauty salon has a men’s beauty department.
“Anyway, Sister Yao, I suggest you not go!
“The monthly salary and bonuses you earn at Wanhua aren’t low anyway. There’s no need for you to go there!” Color Hair wasn’t actually worrying about the men’s beauty department. He was afraid that Li Muyao would go astray because of his aunt.
Cai Sixiu, Manager Cai, Color Hair’s Aunt, was a bachelorette, who proclaimed that she would never get married her entire life. Because of such a thought, Cai Sixiu’s private life could be said to be quite chaotic.
But since Cai Sixiu was a strong woman who could make money, her family basically couldn’t control her.
How chaotic?
Color Hair had no idea as well, but he remembered a few years back, someone came to the entrance of Aunt Sixiu’s salon and said she was a mistress, a tramp who destroyed people’s family.
He had forgotten how that incident ended.
But those words like mistress and tramp were really unpleasant!
“Color Hair, why are you so anxious? I’m still thinking if I should go to be the manager at Manager Cai’s beauty salon.” Li Muyao didn’t find it strange at first, but she soon found that Color Hair didn’t look right. He seemed to be trying his best to convince her not to be the manager at Manager Cai’s beauty salon.
“Is there something wrong with Manager Cai’s beauty salon?”
After Li Muyao asked the question, she looked around to see if there was anyone else and then pulled Color Hair to the breakfast restaurant opposite.
Li Muyao poured tea for Color Hair and patted the frowning Color Hair gently. “Kid, when did you learn to frown? Okay, tell me, why don’t you want me to go to Manager Cai’s beauty salon?”
“Sister Yao, in fact… my Aunt Sixiu’s private life is a bit chaotic. I’m afraid you’d learn something bad from her after you go there!
“I know you wouldn’t be taken advantage of with your talent.
“But Sister Yao is a girl after all!” Color Hair pondered for a while and decided to tell Li Muyao a bit about Cai Sixiu’s private life.
After hearing that, Li Muyao had a sip of the tea. “Color Hair, thank you for your concern.
“But you need to have faith in me. If I was going to go astray, I wouldn’t wait until now!”
When Li Muyao first went to the Hairdressing Department on the first floor to be a shampoo girl, many male customers had laid eyes on this little girl, Li Muyao. A few of them even bought gifts like gold jewelry for Li Muyao directly to be “friends” with her.
Of course, the “friends” these customers talked about weren’t referring to normal friends.
Li Muyao rejected them all!
“Sister Yao, I’ve always believed in you, but my Aunt Sixiu… Fine, Sister Yao, you should think about it yourself.
“Actually, Sister Yao, rather than going to my aunt’s beauty salon, I think you should just open your own earlier.
“You’ll open one sooner or later anyway. So, why don’t you open it now?
“If you don’t have enough money, I can invest in it or lend you money.
“If not, Sister Yao, stay in Wanhua for one more year. Think about it. You now make more than sixty thousand yuan of bonus every month, so you’ll be able to save a lot of money in a year.”
Color Hair believed in Sister Yao, but he didn’t trust his aunt.
He remembered his parents saying that Aunt Sixiu poached quite a lot of young beauticians from the Beauty Department at Wanhua back then. In the end, they all married rich guys.
And yet, the word “married” had some other meanings here.
“Alright, I’ll think about opening my own salon first as you said!” Li Muyao didn’t agree immediately, but she didn’t reject Color Hair’s kindness as well.
The two of them finished eating breakfast and got in Chen Qing’s car together with two sets of hairdressing tools Color Hair prepared.
At eleven, their car drove directly to a nursing home in the suburbs of Yang City, joining the premium customers of the other securities branches.
As the organizer, Chen Qing didn’t introduce all thirty customers to one another forcefully. He let everyone move around freely or divide into groups to help the elderly shampoo their hair and give them a haircut, according to the arrangements.
Of course, singing performances and interactive activities with the elderly were must-dos in such an event.
Color Hair, Li Muyao, and a few other young people chose to give the elderly a haircut.
Color Hair was a professional in hairdressing, but Li Muyao wasn’t. She only knew how to shampoo their hair.
So, Li Muyao gave her set of hairdressing tools to the others, while she shampooed hair for the elderly in line one by one nearby on the recliner Chen Qing’s company prepared.
In an afternoon, Li Muyao had shampooed hair for twelve elderlies. She spent ten minutes on each of them, so she had already been washing for more than two hours.
The skin on her hands started to peel off.
Luckily, other volunteers came and took over for Li Muyao, so she could have time to sit down, rest, and have a cup of tea.
“Hi, pretty girl. Thank you for your hard work. This is hand cream. I think your hands could use some of it!”
Suddenly, a low and gentle male voice sounded above her head. Li Muyao looked up in the direction where the voice came from in shock.
Clang!
Li Muyao dropped the teacup in her hand!
“Pretty girl, are you alright?
“Did you wash too much hair? Do your hands hurt?
“Do you want me to take a look for you?” The man’s caring and loving gaze immediately pissed Li Muyao off!
What the f*ck!
She met the jerk here!!!
The moment Li Muyao saw Qin Bing’s face, her hand moved to punch Qin Bing’s belly out of habit!
Right, this was the action Li Muyao did every time she saw Qin Bing in her previous life!
Hit him!
Hit him hard!
Hit him once every time they met!
In her previous life, Li Muyao met Qin Bing through a colleague’s introduction. Qin Bing was pretty good-looking and was tall enough. He worked in the financial industry, so he had a very good income. He was also a gentleman and he fell in love with Li Muyao at first sight.
So, after the first blind date, Qin Bing would ask Li Muyao out regularly. Li Muyao also had a good impression of Qin Bing, so they soon became a couple.
However, less than a month after they confirmed their relationship when they had just held hands, Li Muyao found Qin Bing the jerk tumbling between the sheets with her married colleague, who introduced Li Muyao to him, on the couch in the dorm when she returned to the country from a business trip!
