"Sister Yao, how long do we have to watch? It's almost eleven. Why aren't they here yet?"
"Shut up!"
"Oh, okay. I will."
The punk behind her kept spraying Liushen Florida Water on his body after shutting his mouth.
Smelling the light scent of the Florida Water, Li Muyao finally cleared her mind. Probably, maybe, perhaps, she could be certain that she had been here for two hours now and this wasn't a dream.
It was something similar to being reborn in a novel!
A second ago, Li Muyao received a call. The man she met on a blind date a few days ago proposed to her.
It happened to be Li Muyao's 32nd birthday, so she remembered it very clearly.
After failing the college entrance examination at eighteen, her brother arranged for her to be an apprentice at a beauty salon. She spent three years and was promoted from an apprentice to a beautician.
After twelve years, Li Muyao was promoted from a beautician to a senior beautician manager. In these twelve years, she bought a house with three rooms and two living rooms in a first-tier city, Yang City, and a car that cost three hundred thousand yuan. She also had more than a million yuan savings and a man she met on a blind date, who was great in all aspects, proposed to her.
As long as Li Muyao said yes, her family wouldn't have to worry that she wouldn't be able to get married and she could get rid of that pestering scumbag.
She would have a house, a car, money, and a man, reaching the pinnacle of her life.
Alone on the night of her birthday, Li Muyao was too excited and she accidentally drank too much. She didn't even pick up her parents' call and just wanted to sleep.
When she woke up, she was sitting on a bench in a small park in front of the entrance of an old hotel. There was a punk next to her with a bottle of Liushen Florida Water in one hand to repel mosquitoes and an obsolete film camera on the other, holding it in his arms like his baby.
Li Muyao thought she was dreaming, so she sat aside quietly from 9 pm until 11 pm.
She finally realized why she was crouching here with the punk right now.
Li Muyao refused to study again after failing the college entrance examination back then and she wasn't willing to work in a factory, so she could only follow her brother to Yang City and found a beauty salon through her brother's customer, becoming an apprentice there.
They offered her a place to stay and meals every day. She also had five hundred yuan of basic salary. She would get a 3% bonus after washing customers' hair and giving them a haircut, and an 8% bonus after cleansing facials and beauty treatments. Meanwhile, the Li Muyao at this period must have been apprenticing for more than six months. She must have just finished celebrating the Chinese New Year and came back to work.
Because Li Muyao did something great when she was nineteen.
Bringing another apprentice who was two years younger than her, Color Hair, to the hotel to catch the adulterers.
Whose adulterer?
Her brother, Li Mufeng, had a girlfriend he had been dating for two years called Liu Xiufang. She came from the capital and was twenty-three years old. She had been in a relationship with Li Mufeng for two years. After spending the Chinese New Year in her hometown, she came back and told Li Mufeng that she was pregnant.
It was definitely a joyous thing to be pregnant.
Li Mufeng was certainly thrilled. He talked to his mother on the phone and decided to bring his girlfriend home and marry her.
However, Li Mufeng celebrated too early, as his girlfriend, Liu Xiufang, said she would only marry him if he offered her fifty thousand yuan of dowry and a house.
The house must be in Yang City. Any size would do, but it must be bought in Liu Xiufang's name.
Fifty thousand yuan of dowry was quite a lot to Li Mufeng's family. As for the house, their family was originally staying in a county. They had already bought a house when their father was still alive. It was a pretty nice house with four rooms and two living rooms.
But if Li Mufeng had to buy a house in a large city like Yang City, he wouldn't be able to afford it even if he sold himself!
This was a big problem, but since Li Mufeng and his girlfriend were having a baby, they must think of something no matter how difficult it was. His mother tried to borrow money everywhere, while Li Mufeng had to work part-time jobs to earn extra money, apart from working in the kitchen in his master's restaurant.
Since her brother was getting married, Li Muyao certainly had to do something to help. However, her salary wasn't really high and she had only been an apprentice for six months. Adding up the basic salary and the bonuses, she only made eight hundred yuan a month. Among the eight hundred yuan, she had to send five hundred home, leaving three hundred yuan. Even though she didn't spend much money, she could only save around two hundred yuan for herself a month.
Calculating every cent, Li Muyao had some savings after being an apprentice for more than six months, but she gave her mother five hundred yuan during the Chinese New Year, so she had only five hundred left.
Even if her mother was willing to use the money to help her brother buy a house, it was just a drop in the ocean.
While Li Muyao was thinking about how to make more money, she accidentally heard about her future sister-in-law, Liu Xiufang, going out with a middle-aged man.
Li Muyao didn't really like her future sister-in-law, Liu Xiufang. When her brother brought his girlfriend back home the first time when she was having the college entrance examination, she had already felt uncomfortable when Liu Xiufang looked at their house with greed in her eyes. However, it was the first time Liu Xiufang visited her boyfriend's home, after all, so she had to keep up with appearances.
Liu Xiufang entertained their mother and two younger brothers well. She even bought quite a lot of things for Li Muyao, who was about to take the college entrance examination, so Li Muyao couldn't find any fault with her even though she didn't like her.
However, after coming to Yang City, Li Muyao went to visit her brother sometimes and she found that Liu Xiufang's attitude became worse and worse. Every time Li Muyao came by, she heard Liu Xiufang scolding her brother, saying that Li Mufeng made so much money but he only gave her a thousand yuan and sent the rest back home.
She said Li Mufeng didn't love her and wasn't giving her money.
Sometimes, she even said Li Mufeng was incapable and useless.
Liu Xiufang even resigned as a waiter at the restaurant of Li Mufeng's master. She didn't work at all and she always went shopping or hung out with her friends.
It wasn't a big deal for Li Mufeng that women didn't work. He could give a thousand yuan to his girlfriend every month anyway. If not, he could send less money back home as well.
However, after the Chinese New Year, Liu Xiufang told Li Mufeng that she was pregnant.
After the surprise, the life of everyone in the Li family was disrupted.
Money and houses were the hardest things to deal with for Li Mufeng.
And yet, Liu Xiufang wasn't willing to give in about the dowry and the house. She even used the baby to threaten Li Mufeng.
The fights between her brother and Liu Xiufang, and the embarrassment of her mother while borrowing money everywhere, Li Muyao saw them all in her eyes. So, when someone told her Liu Xiufang cheated on her brother, she was enraged and immediately went to argue with her future sister-in-law, Liu Xiufang.
However, Liu Xiufang blamed Li Muyao instead. She said that Li Muyao, as a girl, tried to slander her so that she would marry her brother. She even said that Li Muyao wanted to hit her stomach and cause a miscarriage. For that, Liu Xiufang pointed at Li Mufeng and shouted at him, saying that he was useless and couldn't even protect and provide for his wife and child.

Liu Xiufang didn't stop there. She even called their mother, Lin Qin, and didn't show any respect to her future mother-in-law on the phone at all. She kept shouting fiercely, saying that it was fine if Lin Qin's family was poor and if she didn't want her grandchild, but how could she viciously instigate her daughter to come to beat a pregnant woman? Liu Xiufang said countless unpleasant words and finally hung up when she felt better.
Li Muyao was certainly not pleased. Liu Xiufang made wild accusations about her and turned things upside down. Li Mufeng even hit his sister, whom he had been doting on since she was small.
Li Muyao was furious. She called home to tell her family about it as she cried, but she was scolded by her mother harshly once again.
This aggravated her mother's condition. Li Muyao couldn't just let it go. She took a few days off and tailed Liu Xiufang like they did on TV.
She followed Liu Xiufang for four days until she was certain and came back to the shop to ask Color Hair for help.
In less than ten minutes, Liu Xiufang showed up at this small hotel, hugging her lover's arm intimately. Li Muyao immediately went forward with Color Hair to take pictures and interrogate her. Liu Xiufang was certainly guilty when Li Muyao caught her cheating, but she grabbed onto Color Hair and Li Muyao to protect her lover.
Liu Xiufang was accidentally pushed to the ground by the stronger Color Hair and blood started to ooze out between her thighs.
Everyone was instantly startled.
Liu Xiufang used this moment to grab Li Muyao's arm and hold Color Hair's leg, while she yelled for help and said they beat a pregnant woman up.
That paramour took the opportunity to run away. Li Muyao couldn't get any evidence again and her future sister-in-law even had a miscarriage.
Yes, Liu Xiufang put full responsibility on Li Muyao for her miscarriage and even said Li Muyao didn't want her to marry Li Mufeng, so she accused her of cheating, saying that her baby wasn't Li Mufeng's.
Ever since this incident, the relationship between Li Mufeng, the brother who adored his sister the most, and Li Muyao broke. When their mother knew about it, she came all the way to Yang City to take care of Liu Xiufang and was ordered about like a servant. When Lin Qin returned home, she even called Li Muyao out to scold her.
From then on, Li Muyao hadn't been close to her brother and her mother. If it wasn't for her twin brothers that got into college afterward, she wouldn't go home at all.
After recalling this memory, Li Muyao breathed and looked normal again. Color Hair next to her also dared to speak.
"Sister Yao, is that your future sister-in-law? She's really here with a guy."
Li Muyao looked at the direction Color Hair pointed at and nodded as she commanded Color Hair with excitement on her face. "Give me the camera. Go call the police and tell them someone is prostituting herself in this hotel."
Since this wasn't a dream, she had another chance to prove her innocence and take revenge on Liu Xiufang at the same time. Li Muyao wouldn't be so stupid and rush ahead again.
She had to ask the police to come to deal with Liu Xiufang and she could take some pictures.
If her brother still didn't believe her with pictures and witnesses in front of him, there was nothing else Li Muyao could do.
"Huh? Sister Yao, if we call the police, won't they be arrested? If they're arrested because of prostitution, they'll lose their reputation. Your brother will be mad if he knows you did this."
Although Color Hair was young, he was mature.
Besides, he might only be a hairdresser apprentice in the shop, but his family held shares of the shop and he was a local in Yang City, so he knew everything he needed to know.
What Li Muyao is doing is ruthless!
Color Hair agreed that Li Muyao should give this woman, who cheated and lied, a lesson, but he also knew that Li Muyao was close to her brother and her brother seemed to care about this pregnant girlfriend as well.
"It's alright. It's better than being defrauded and cheated on after becoming a father!"
Right, even after the 'Li Muyao pushed Liu Xiufang over and caused her miscarriage' incident, Li Mufeng and Liu Xiufang still got married. Li Mufeng also gave her fifty thousand yuan of dowry and bought a house in Yang City in Liu Xiufang's name. Their family ran up huge debts for them to get married.
Before their third anniversary, Liu Xiufang gave birth to a baby boy, but when their son was ten years old, Liu Xiufang suddenly sold the house and ran away with all the money, leaving her son behind with Li Mufeng. Li Mufeng even found out the son he had been raising with his whole heart wasn't his after fifteen years.
When Li Muyao received these two pieces of news, she was really enraged. She was angry about the way she did things back then and fell into Liu Xiufang's trap, and she was angry about how muddle-headed and soft-hearted her brother was.
Ah, Liu Xiufang, this woman, was to be blamed for causing chaos to their family for so many years.
After she left, Li Mufeng lost both his wife and money. He didn't send the bastard, which he didn't know who the father was, away and even raised him as his own. After all, he had gotten used to it and had developed feelings for the child after all these years.
"I'll call the police then!"
Color Hair didn't ask anything else when he saw how determined Li Muyao was. He only hung out with Li Muyao because he thought she was smarter than those apprentice girls in the shop.
When Color Hair left, Li Muyao also followed Liu Xiufang and her lover with the camera.
Tailing someone required skills. Li Muyao didn't go too near them. She only made a move after Liu Xiufang checked into the hotel with her lover and went upstairs with the key.
However, when she was about to ask the receptionist for some information, Li Muyao was reminded by the conversation between two men carrying suitcases behind her.
"Isn't that Wang? How dare he? Isn't he worried his wife at home would get even with him when she knows about it?"
"What does he have to be afraid of? His wife is infertile anyway. Of course, he'd find a woman who's willing to bear his child."
"Right, outsiders like us can't say anything. However, I remember Wang relies on his wife's success for a living?"
"Yes, he's a matrilocal husband. If not, how would he be living such a good life? Just forget about it, Brother. We've just gotten back. Don't mind their business."
"Yea, it's indeed none of our business. Why don't we call Sister Huang at Hongda Corporation and ask her to come to see how ugly that scumbag is?"
"You're right. But we've just come back. Just leave them be for now. Right, this hotel is too old and small. What do you say we go to another one?"
"Sure, let's go to another one!"
The two tall men didn't seem to notice that Li Muyao was listening in on their conversation behind them. Before the receptionist of the hotel came to serve them, they had already left with their suitcases.
Sister Huang of Hongda Corporation?
The last name of Liu Xiufang's lover was Wang?
The last name of the paramour's wife was Huang?
Li Muyao had heard Color Hair mention this Hongda Corporation before. It was the largest garment factory in the Gaochun Industrial Area. Their boss was very impressive. She married someone as her matrilocal husband.
It was consistent with the information that two strangers mentioned!
Li Muyao felt like she was still dumb after being reborn. How could she not think of murdering with a borrowed knife, oops no, catching an adulterer with borrowed help?

Li Muyao ignored the strange look from the hotel receptionist and immediately ran out to find a newsstand that was still open. She bought a job recruitment newspaper from the Gaochun Industrial Area and flipped to the page with the largest advertisement, finding the contact number of Hongda Corporation very soon.
After getting the number, Li Muyao ran to a public telephone booth and called. Surprisingly, someone picked up. Li Muyao claimed that she was Sister Huang's cousin and she was looking for her, but she lost her phone. So, she wanted Sister Huang's number, so she could call Sister Huang and ask her to come and pick her up.
The person on the phone didn't doubt at all. After all, Li Muyao spoke great Cantonese and she sounded a bit arrogant as well. After getting the number, Li Muyao didn't waste any time. She quickly told Sister Huang that her husband went to a hotel with a woman and that woman had already gotten pregnant, and directly hung up after that.
After finishing this series of actions, Li Muyao suddenly felt like she was unexpectedly lucky to be able to accidentally hear information about that adulterer and to find the phone number of Hongda Corporation, telling the adulterer's wife about this. It went pretty smoothly!
When she returned to the bench in the park in front of the entrance of the hotel, Color Hair had already been waiting there. He seemed to be more thrilled and he showed clearly how much he wanted to gossip with excitement on his face. "Sister Yao, Sister Yao, Sister Yao, after I called the police and came back, I saw five cars at the entrance of the hotel. A dozen people got off and rushed inside. I guess they're here to catch an adulterer like us!"
"Hehe, I can't believe so many people come to cheat in such an old hotel!
"Should we go in there together and join in the fun?
"The police will take another ten minutes to come from the station anyway."
Li Muyao wasn't interested in gossiping at all. She only cared about how long it would take for the boss of Hongda Corporation, Sister Huang, to arrive after the call she made.
And also when the police would come to take Liu Xiufang and her lover away.
If they were really arrested, should she tell her brother? At that time, should she show up or not?
That was the problem!
She hit Color Hair's back and warned him, "Stop gossiping, kid.
"Right, thank you for lending me your camera and staying here for so long with me tonight. Are you hungry? Let's go get something to eat!"
"Huh? We're leaving now?" Color Hair sounded very disappointed.
"Are you coming or not? Let's go to my brother's restaurant. Didn't you say that his vermicelli and flat rice noodles are the best in the world?"
Hmm, speaking of late-night snacks, Li Muyao immediately thought about her brother. In order to fulfill Liu Xiufang's requests and marry her as soon as possible, he went to the night market to be a part-time chef after finishing work at the restaurant, helping the boss cook vermicelli and flat rice noodles.
Li Muyao once brought the noodles back to the shop and Color Hair ate half of it. He said it was the first time he had had such tasty beef noodles since he was born in Yang City and that it was the best in the world!
"Really, really? Hehe, Sister Yao, I may have to eat two bowls of beef noodles."
Fine, there's nothing to gossip about. How would it be more attractive than late-night snacks?
Besides, it's noodles made by Sister Yao's brother. That's really delicious.
Color Hair immediately left with Li Muyao.
The two of them got on the last public bus. When they arrived at the night market in the Gaochun Industrial Area, they went straight to Li Mufeng's store.
But when they arrived at the store, Li Muyao couldn't go further anymore, as she saw her brother wearing a chef's hat and a mask, holding a spatula with one hand and moving the wok with another. He put salt, chili, and other seasonings into the wok like flowing water and tossed the food up in the air a few times. A plate of colorful, aromatic, and tasty fried vermicelli was then ready to go.
When he looked up and saw his sister standing there dumbfoundedly with her eyes reddened, Li Mufeng's heart immediately thumped and he thought, 'Who bullied her?'
Li Mufeng rubbed his hands on the chef's uniform and said something to his boss before he ran over immediately. He pulled Li Muyao to an empty table on the side and asked quickly and anxiously, "Mooncake, what's wrong? Did someone bully you? Or are you too tired and overwhelmed?
"If someone messed with you, tell me. I'll beat him up and take revenge for you right away.
"If you think it's too tiring to be an apprentice, then there's no need to learn to do beauty treatments and hairdressing. I can provide for you.
"Ah, why are you crying?"
Li Mufeng was stunned. Although his sister said something bad about Liu Xiufang last time, he had already given her a lesson. Since then, his sister had never come to visit him and he was thinking to take a day off to check on her.
In the end, his sister came to see him herself, but she seemed to have suffered great grievances!
Li Muyao suddenly started crying. Even Color Hair who came along was startled and had no idea what to do like Li Mufeng. In Color Hair's mind, Li Muyao was a determined, smart, hardworking, and studious girl.
"Yeah, Sister Yao, why are you crying?
"Don't cry. I'll pay for the food. I can even take you to eat seafood. What do you think?
"Sister Yao, if you continue crying, your make-up will run and you'll become ugly!"
"What? I have make-up on?"
As a senior beautician manager, she must maintain the most beautiful and most energetic condition all the time.
After hearing what Color Hair said, Li Muyao couldn't even be happy in time about seeing her young, stupid and honest brother again. She immediately got up and went to the washroom. She finally remembered. She now had a punk hairstyle the same as Color Hair's and she even put on a smokey make-up that could scare ghosts to death with cosmetics of low quality.
Her eyes could become panda's eyes when tears ran down her face.
"Mooncake, that's the wrong way. The washroom is this way. I'll get you some tissue paper!"
Li Mufeng knew his own sister after all. She was so anxious she went in the wrong direction and her brother even had to give her tissue paper.
Seeing her rushing into the washroom quickly, he inexplicably found it hilarious when his sister cried and ran away just then.
"Are you Color Hair that Mooncake always talks about? I heard that you like my beef noodles. Do you want two portions?"
Li Mufeng turned around and asked nicely as he looked at the boy two years younger than his sister.
"Yes, thank you, Brother. I'm Color Hair. I can't believe Sister Yao talked about me! Hehe, Brother, why do you call Sister Yao Mooncake?
"This nickname is too cute.
"Does Sister Yao like to eat mooncakes?"
Color Hair had no idea why girls like Sister Yao were especially afraid of people saying that they were ugly.
Once he mentioned becoming ugly, Sister Yao immediately stopped crying and ran.
He was still feeling disappointed about not being able to witness someone catch an adulterer at the hotel just then, and when he got off the bus and smelled the smell of the food, he was scared by Li Muyao's crying before he could even order. Luckily, Li Muyao's brother comforted her and she was alright.
Color Hair suddenly noticed. 'Her brother calls her Mooncake. Hehe, that's kinda cute.'

"Argh!! How can I go out like this?
"My image, my youth, and my beauty. Everything's destroyed by this make-up.
"How can I show up in front of people with this make-up? What if it becomes my dark history?"
Li Muyao yelled in her mind constantly and she even wanted to die.
Yes, after Li Muyao became a beautician, her expectations for her appearance got higher and higher, not to mention she has already become a senior beautician manager right now.
Such a make-up that made her look like a ghost was a trend from more than a decade ago.
Right, wasn't it a decade ago right now?
Li Muyao washed her face with water seriously while complaining about how stupid she was at this age.
As she continued washing, a woman also with messy make-up came out of the toilet holding her bag. Standing next to her, Li Muyao could hear her sobbing. Before Li Muyao said anything, the woman kindly gave her a bottle of facial cleanser.
She said with her reddened eyes, "You can't clean it with water. It's better to use the facial cleanser."
Li Muyao froze for two seconds and took the facial cleanser with a smile. "Thank you, pretty sister. Do you need to reapply your make-up?"
"Why should I? We've already broken up!"
"You should put on beautiful make-up after a breakup and make your ex regret it. Pretty sister, if you trust me, wait for me for three minutes. Let me wash my face and help you do an ex-boyfriend make-up. I assure you that your boyfriend will regret becoming your ex-boyfriend. What do you say?"
Out of pure occupational habit, Li Muyao certainly wanted to help this kind, pretty lady as well.
"Alright, I'll wait for you. My name's Yang Xin. What's yours?"
After Yang Xin sniffed and washed her hands, she waited aside quietly. After a while, she took all of her cosmetics in the bag out.
"I'm Li Muyao and I'm nineteen. Sister Yang Xin, your cosmetics are pretty nice, but I've had a look at your skin. It's sort of the drier type. Moisturizing cosmetics are more suitable for your skin. Then, your make-up will not crease or become cakey."
Li Muyao had already washed away the blurred smokey make-up on her face and she dried her face with the tissue paper her brother gave her. She then casually tied her punk hair up in a bun on the top of her head.
In an instant, she turned from a gangster that messed around at first sight to a cute, pure, and lovely student.
"You know these things? You're only nineteen, five years younger than me. But do you really know how to put on make-up?"
Yang Xin didn't seem to believe Li Muyao, mainly because Li Muyao looked even younger than she actually was. However, Yang Xin chose to trust her after hearing what Li Muyao said just then.
"Can you really help me do this ex-boyfriend make-up?"
Yang Xin had never heard of such make-up, but thinking that it could make her boyfriend regret becoming her ex-boyfriend, she was kinda excited about it.
"Sure, give me twenty minutes. I promise to help you change your face!"
Li Muyao wasn't bluffing. It was a fact!
In 2020 in her last life, Li Muyao could turn a seventy-year-old lady into a fifty-year-old middle-aged beauty with her make-up techniques.
"Alright, let's do it!"
Yang Xin didn't care about the possibility that this little girl she had just met a few minutes ago might be bluffing. She only closed her eyes and let Li Muyao do her thing on her face.
Her boyfriend gave her a huge blow.
He fell in love with her colleague, who was also her best friend. Everyone knew about it and Yang Xin was the last to know.
The man she had been carefully in love with for more than one year turned around and fell in love with her best friend just like that. Yang Xin was truly devastated.
She was angry with her best friend for stealing her boyfriend and also with her boyfriend for his betrayal.
"Okay, Sister Yang Xin, open your eyes and have a look. Are you satisfied with this make-up?"
After Li Muyao put lipstick on Yang Xin's lips, it was done.
Twenty minutes ago, she had a depressed face paired with running, heavy make-up. Normal women wouldn't like it as well, not to mention men who would find it disgusting. And now, Yang Xin's make-up was washed away by Li Muyao and Li Muyao reapplied a delicate, light make-up on her face quickly. Looking from afar, Yang Xin didn't seem to have make-up on.
Looking closely, the entire make-up turned Yang Xin's obvious flaws on her face into advantages. For example, Li Muyao used an eyebrow pencil to add some touches to the tail of her eyes which had single eyelids, turning them from small eyes to big eyes that looked brighter than they used to be.
Also, after Li Muyao shaded her oversized cheekbones with shadowing powder, her round face turned into a heart-shaped face. If Yang Xin looked like a failed woman just then, she was now a confident and stunning woman.
Her face had indeed changed compared to before, but she still looked like herself.
"Oh God, is this really me? When did I become so pretty? You… Li Muyao, right? Your make-up techniques are impressive. You really did such a delicate and gorgeous make-up for me with all these simple cosmetics.
"That's incredible. Where did you learn to do make-up?"
Yang Xin was completely stunned by the woman in the mirror. She couldn't believe that it was herself.
It was so beautiful!
That scumbag wasn't fit for such a gorgeous girl at all!
No wonder Li Muyao called it the ex-boyfriend make-up!
Let alone her ex-boyfriend, even Yang Xin almost cried because of her beauty!
No, if Yang Xin were a man, she would also fall in love with such a confident and stunning girl!
"I learned it myself. Of course, if you want to learn, I can teach you. I work at Wanhua Beauty Salon on the commercial street of the Gaochun Industrial Area."
Thinking of the remaining few hundred yuan in her hands, Li Muyao tried to rope her potential customer in out of habit again.
"I know where Wanhua Beauty Salon is. When I finish dealing with my ex, I'll go to find you and learn these make-up skills. Don't forget about me at that time."
Yang Xin jotted down the address Li Muyao told her. She worked in a factory in the industrial area herself and it was near to the commercial street, so it would be easy for her to find Li Muyao.
"Yes, I'd definitely remember such a beautiful woman like Sister Yang Xin. Besides, I think you deserve a handsome, rich man who treats you well.
"Just let your ex-boyfriend regret it.
"You'll certainly meet a better man than the last one!"
Li Muyao said quite naturally and smoothly to her potential customer. She didn't seem to be flattering at all.
Watching Yang Xin leave, Li Muyao also went back to her brother and Color Hair.
"Hey, pretty, this seat is taken. You can go to that empty seat right there."
Color Hair tapped the chopsticks on the table and said to the beautiful girl sitting in front of him.
"Pfft! Color Hair, it's not even been half an hour and you don't recognize your Sister Yao? How many plates of beef noodles have you eaten? Or have you been drinking?"
Seeing her brother smile at her lovingly and gently from afar, Li Muyao immediately felt better about being reborn.

"Pfft!"
"Color Hair, it's not even been half an hour and you don't recognize your Sister Yao? How many plates of beef noodles have you eaten? Or have you been drinking?"
Seeing her brother smile at her lovingly and gently from afar, Li Muyao immediately felt better about being reborn.
"WTF!"
Color Hair immediately seemed to be frightened and he threw the chopsticks in his hands away.
Luckily, Li Muyao was fast enough. She dodged to the side slightly and wasn't hit by the flying chopsticks.
"You, you, you, you… How can you be my streetwise Sister Yao?"
Color Hair pointed at the girl with a pure, beautiful face and stammered.
Color Hair liked to hang out with Li Muyao, this sister from the beauty salon, not only because she was clever, but also because she was sociable and cheerful. He felt like he was with a bro when he was with her.
Li Muyao had no idea her image in Color Hair's eyes was actually a hooligan.
If she knew about it, she would definitely beat Color Hair up without saying anything and would force him to correct her image in his mind. As for those dark histories, he must automatically delete, oh no, forget them.
She was a pretty fairy!
"Your streetwise Sister Yao? What are you talking about, kid?
"This is what I look like. This is my original appearance. Am I ugly or terrifying?"
Li Muyao pointed at her smooth and fair face and looked at Color Hair with threatening eyes as if she would instantly rush forward and break Color Hair's neck if he didn't say something that pleased her or admit she was ugly.
Color Hair touched his neck and felt a trace of coldness. He, who was eager to survive, immediately started bootlicking like how he usually did to Li Muyao.
"Sister Yao is not terrifying at all. I am.
"Sister Yao is the most beautiful flower at Wanhua Beauty Salon. You're even prettier than a pretty girl and cuter than Doraemon.
"Hehe, Sister Yao, sorry. I was too dumb and I saw wrongly it for a second.
"It's mainly because you look truly gorgeous without make-up, so I didn't recognize you. I'm afraid I don't deserve to be your brother."
Seeing Sister Yao become calm,
Color Hair secretly took a few deep breaths in his mind. Sister Yao's eyes were truly terrifying when she threatened him. She was indeed the streetwise Sister Yao he was familiar with.
He wanted to pat his chest to comfort his frightened and surprised little heart.
"Hehe, cuter than Doraemon? Stop it.
"Don't use Doraemon to describe me next time. It's fat and doltish. Such an image doesn't suit me.
"Have you had enough yet? Do you want some skewers from the barbecue store next door?"
It was almost midnight, but her brother still wasn't getting off.
Li Muyao even thought that Color Hair failed to call the police.
The plan of getting the police failed. Then, what about the one with the boss of Hongda Corporation, Sister Huang?
This big boss was too weak. If she doesn't do anything to give that scumbag a lesson, she truly… deserved to be fooled.
"Yes, yes. Sister Yao is the most beautiful girl. She has the most perfect image.
"Can I really have the skewers?"
It wasn't because Color Hair was silly, but he felt like he was suddenly stunned by Sister Yao's beauty. He must comfort his shocked mind with some skewers.
When Li Muyao nodded firmly, Color Hair immediately smiled and stuck out one finger, but changed to two after one second. He smiled embarrassedly and asked Li Muyao with his eyes.
"Twenty? Beef or mutton? Or twenty each?"
She asked him here for help, so no matter if it succeeded or not, she should feed him well.
"Hehe, Sister Yao, just ten each will do. I've already had two plates of your brother's beef noodles." After ordering the skewers, Color Hair pointed in Li Mufeng's direction.
"Oh, Sister Yao, is your brother picking up a call?"
As expected, Li Muyao saw her brother rub the oil off his hands on his body and took out a small rectangular phone from his pocket when she looked towards the direction Color Hair pointed at. Li Muyao immediately recognized the phone at first sight. It was a Nokia flip phone her brother bought for Liu Xiufang with two months of his salary when she became his girlfriend two years ago.
Last year, her brother spent two months of his salary to buy a slider phone for Liu Xiufang after she acted in a sulky and cutesy manner.
This old flip phone then became her brother's.
Li Muyao looked at the time on the electronic watch on her wrist. It came just in time.
"Sister Yao, look! Your brother's expression has changed. Could it be a call from the police station?"
Color Hair naively thought that it was impossible to get nothing after he and Sister Yao crouched there for so long and even kindly called the police.
While Color Hair was asking, Li Muyao had already stood up, as Li Mufeng looked pretty impatient and a bit worried when he talked to his boss.
After that, he came towards Li Muyao quickly. "Mooncake, your sister-in-law is in trouble. You should take the cab and go back with Color Hair first. Here's some money."
Normally, Li Mufeng would take his sister back to the house he and his girlfriend rented if she was alone.
However, his sister was with an apprentice from the shop, so it was inconvenient.
"Brother, it's better to take me with you if she's in trouble. Besides, Color Hair is a local here. It's okay to ask him to look for someone to help with his connections if there's anything.
"Color Hair, am I right?"
Hearing from her brother that something happened to her sister-in-law, Li Muyao knew the time had come.
Of course, she still refused to admit the word, sister-in-law, from the bottom of her heart. After all, Liu Xiufang might not be her brother's girlfriend anymore after tonight!
Li Muyao had indeed thought about taking advantage of the connections of Color Hair's family since the beginning, which was why she dragged Color Hair in.
"Right, Brother, Sister Yao and I are good friends. Sister Yao's business is my business.
"So, if something happened to her sister-in-law, I should also come with you to see what I can do to help. Let's go! Many hands make light work!"
Color Hair was excited again. After crouching there for several hours to catch the adulterer, they finally achieved something.
Luckily, their efforts weren't in vain.
How could someone who liked to watch the fun like him miss the result?
He had to go. He must go.
If he didn't go, he would feel sorry for the two plates of beef noodles he ate tonight.
"Brother, let's go. I'll get us a cab. Sister Yao, get the skewers for takeaway. We can't waste them." He then ran to the road opposite the night market to hail a cab.
Fortunately, they were at the night market, so there were plenty of cabs along the road.
After getting on the cab, Color Hair wanted to ask Li Mufeng about the details, but Li Muyao shut his mouth with the skewers. She concealed her speculation with a hint of excitement and asked carefully with concern.

"Brother, we're heading to Gaochun Third People's Hospital. Did something happen to Sister-in-law's baby?"
Li Mufeng was only a bit panicked and nervous just now, but after getting on the cab, he got another call and his face immediately turned pale. He even looked a little shocked, hurt, furious, flustered, and overwhelmed.
When Li Muyao reached out to grab her brother's hand, she could feel that it was completely ice-cold.
"Brother, don't worry. God helps good people. She'll be alright and the baby will also be fine." Although Li Muyao was comforting her brother, she didn't feel right in her heart, especially when her brother remained silent.
She saw her brother's expression change dramatically after taking two consecutive phone calls.
So, Li Muyao wasn't sure if the baby in Liu Xiufang's belly would be fine or not.
Even if Li Muyao took her revenge again and revealed the truth that Liu Xiufang lied to her brother, she had never thought that the baby would lose its chance to be born in the world because of her impulse in her last life and she felt a bit sorry about that. She only hoped that the baby could survive in this life. If it really couldn't… this showed that it was truly destined to never come to this world!
The baby was innocent, but she and her brother were also innocent.
After comforting and telling this to herself, Li Muyao felt a bit better. After all, Liu Xiufang and her lover were the ones who led to what happened today.
Li Muyao and Li Mufeng were both the victims of their sin.
In the last life, Li Muyao had never been able to go home and dared not to go home for many years. Her brother raised a child who had no relations with him at all and treated the child as his own but ended up in a situation where he lost his wife and his money in the end.
The hearts of the members of the Li family all shattered because of Liu Xiufang and there was even a gap between them that still hadn't been bridged after more than a decade.
The god must be too sad to see that, so they let Li Muyao be reborn to make everything right!
After another round of suggestive self-brainwashing, Li Muyao's pressure and burden were reduced a bit.
The two of them didn't talk anymore. Color Hair also felt the solemn atmosphere between them and he kept eating his skewers quietly, setting aside the bamboo sticks so he could throw them into a rubbish bin after getting off the cab. He also knew his place and didn't ask anything.
They soon arrived at the hospital.
It was midnight. This should be a quiet place, but the emergency room was especially busy.
There were five police officers, ten tall men that looked like security guards and a mature woman wearing a suit and 10cm tall high heels, standing in front of a messy man and smoking.
That distressed man was only wearing a pair of short pants. There were a lot of scratch marks and bruises on his fair and fat upper body. There was also a red, swollen handprint on his face and his hair was extremely messy. He was the cheater who went into that hotel with Liu Xiufang intimately while Li Muyao and Color Hair were crouching there.
Li Mufeng, Li Muyao, and Color Hair walked into the emergency room. The smoking woman stroked the loose bangs that covered her forehead and directly walked towards Li Mufeng. She stopped him and said with complexity and ridicule in her eyes, "Are you Liu Xiufang's cuckold boyfriend?"
"You look quite smart. How did you blindly end up with such a woman?"
"That bitch, Liu Xiufang, is still in the emergency room.
"Oh right, the baby in your girlfriend's belly is my husband's!
"This old bastard, he isn't grateful at all to have such an outstanding wife like me and even cheated on me with a bitch. I will not stand this. I'm going to divorce him.
"Kid, let me give you a kind reminder as someone who has been through it. A woman who cheats on you and wants you to be the father of a bastard child isn't worth marrying. Break up with her quicker so you can be at peace earlier!
"If not, you'll lose both people and wealth in the future, harming yourself and others."
For a second, Li Muyao had no idea if she should thank Sister Huang's kind reminder or comfort her brother.
And yet, Li Muyao couldn't say anything either way.
On the contrary, she thought her brother would suffer a severe blow, but he only glanced at this "kind-hearted" lady dumbfoundedly and walked to the police officers to ask them what exactly happened.
The young officer who talked to Li Mufeng had pity and sympathy in his eyes when he looked at him. "Mr. Li, here's what happened. Our police station got a report from a good samaritan, saying that someone was prostituting in this hotel.
"When our officers arrived, they saw Miss Huang coming to catch the adulterers with the security officers of her company.
"One of them was Miss Huang's husband, whom she has been married to for more than ten years, and the other was your girlfriend, Liu Xiufang. The situation was chaotic back then. Miss Liu Xiufang hit the corner of a desk accidentally and had a miscarriage. She's now having surgery in the emergency room.
"Liu Xiufang asked us to give you a call, that's why we contacted you this late.
"That's basically what happened."
Li Mufeng didn't really believe what other people said. Not long ago, his sister also reminded him, but he trusted Liu Xiufang, who said that his sister slandered her only because she didn't like her and didn't want her to marry her brother. To protect his girlfriend, Li Mufeng even scolded his sister harshly.
That time, Li Mufeng chose to believe his girlfriend!
And when he entered the hospital and got that sarcastic and kind reminder from a stranger, he still didn't believe it.
Until now, what the police officer said banged on Li Mufeng's head and heart, forcing him to accept the truth. His dearest girlfriend really cheated on him with a man ten years older than him and the baby in her belly wasn't even his!
It was that old man's!
And Liu Xiufang wanted Li Mufeng to be a cuckold!
"Mr. Li, are you alright?"
Seeing the shaking Li Mufeng, the police officer couldn't bear to stand there and he gave Li Mufeng a hand as he asked caringly.
"I'm fine. Can you take me there to sit for a while?"
"Sure!"
The police officer really felt sorry for this guy. He was betrayed by his girlfriend. That was indeed pitiful.
After helping him sit down, the officer left.
Li Muyao couldn't bear to see her brother emitting sorrow all over his body. While she was hesitating and thinking about how she could comfort him, Color Hair pulled her back and he whispered excitedly since he was afraid people would hear him. He tried to repress his emotions, but he couldn't hide the excitement for gossips in his eyes.
"Sister Yao, Sister Yao, that woman was the person I saw outside the hotel, who brought a lot of people in there to catch an adulterer."
"God, what a coincidence! She came for the same couple as we did."
"Look! That man is truly miserable. His face has almost swollen into a pig's head."
Color Hair seemed to be able to relate to the man as he spoke and his face also felt painful. He thought he could definitely not do anything bad to his girlfriend in the future.
That was too miserable!

But it was kinda funny as well!
If this was the correct situation, Color Hair would have clapped and yelled, "Great! Wonderful!"
That guy had a wife, but he was still discontented with his lot and cheated with a woman who had a boyfriend. Such a man would be drowned in a pig basket in ancient times!
"That woman had a miscarriage. Will your brother forgive her?"
He watched gossip, heard gossip, and in the end, the people involved were someone he knew and slightly close to. After Color Hair realized this fact, he immediately hid the excitement of watching the fun on his face.
Color Hair really stood in Li Mufeng's shoes and then thought that he couldn't accept it at all.
In his perspective, a cuckolded man was truly useless.
Regardless of being useless, he would never care about a girlfriend like Liu Xiufang anymore after such an incident. Even if the police called to notify him, he would ignore them.
Even if she lost her baby, even if Liu Xiufang was the weaker one, Color Hair wouldn't look her in the eye at all.
He would feel disgusted when he looked at her.
However, seeing Li Mufeng's face, Color Hair thought this brother wouldn't be able to think as clearly as Sister Yao did!
Li Muyao shook her head, as she wasn't sure as well!
After all, Li Mufeng still kept the child with him in her last life, even if he knew he was helping other people raise their son. With such a real example, Li Muyao really had no confidence at all and she had no idea if her brother would have a Saint's heart when he was young like he did in the previous life.
If Li Muyao really got the result in which Li Mufeng forgave Liu Xiufang after everything she planned with Color Hair, she would have nothing to say as well. She just has to cut off her connection with her brother like she did in her last life.
When a person truly became weak and didn't want to stand, it was useless no matter how many times you helped him up.
Besides, when a person pretended to be sleeping, it was impossible to wake him up!
Li Muyao only had to have a clear conscience anyway!
"I don't know!"
"Sister Yao, if your brother really forgives his girlfriend who cheated on him, I suggest you not see him so often from now on."
Color Hair thought that a man could have no money, but he must have integrity.
If his values weren't right, he might even drag Sister Yao down in the future.
"Color Hair, you're a boy. Don't always gossip like a woman!
"Alright, just sit here and wait for me for a while. I'll go to talk to my brother.
"Oh right, where is the one thousand yuan I asked you to prepare? Give it to me. Here's the
IOU
!"
As for how her brother would deal with this, Li Muyao wouldn't interfere too much. She had already come so far and successfully revealed Liu Xiufang's nature in front of Li Mufeng.
It was the truth and the police officers had confirmed it!
Even though Li Muyao was his sister, she could only help him till this point. What happened next would completely depend on Li Mufeng himself. After all, they were all adults and they had to take responsibility for their actions!
Li Muyao took out the IOU from her pocket and gave it to Color Hair as she spoke.
She found this IOU when she called Sister Huang to tell her about her husband. She didn't use it in her last life, but could finally use it in this life.
"Ah, Sister Yao, who are we to each other? Writing an IOU is like regarding me as an outsider. Take the money. You can give it back to me whenever you have spare money.
"It's okay if you don't give it back to me. You're my Sister Yao, right?"
Color Hair didn't really lack money. Besides, he truly treated Li Muyao as his boss, oh no, his sister.
He thought it wasn't a big deal to give money to his boss… his sister.
It was just a thousand yuan, which was much less than the amount his brother gave to his so-called three-day girlfriends.
"No! Short reckonings make long friends. Here, take it."
"Good credit makes future loans easier.
"Don't worry, I'm very poor now. I'll have a lot of chances to borrow money from you in the future!"
After hearing what Li Muyao said, Color Hair immediately accepted the IOU and directly put it in his wallet, keeping it close to himself. He then smiled and nodded. "Alright, I'll listen to Sister Yao. I'll keep the IOU and wait for you to borrow money from me next time.
"Hehe, I've saved quite a lot of money since I was small and the salary I get every month is kept for myself. I have money.
"Sister Yao, tell me if you don't have money!"
Li Muyao had been close to Color Hair in her last life. If they didn't lose contact because Color Hair left the country whereas she went to a more professional beauty salon and changed her number a few times, their relationship would have been great. Perhaps like her twin brothers at home?
"Mm."
Li Muyao sat next to Li Mufeng with the money. "Brother, here's a thousand yuan. Take it."
"No, take it back to Color Hair. That woman told me that she'll pay for all of Xiuxiu's… medical fees and deposited fifty thousand yuan in her medical card.
"We don't have to pay for it.
"Mooncake, don't tell Mom about tonight.
"…Go home with Color Hair first. When I finish dealing with this, I'll come to find you."
Li Mufeng looked truly embarrassed and heartbroken right now.
And yet, the fact that his sister immediately borrowed money from her friend made his heart, which fell to the freezing point just now, warm again in an instant. Right, his girlfriend Liu Xiufang cheated on him and made him a cuckold, but he now realized that it was actually a good thing, compared to finding out the child wasn't his and his wife wasn't loyal to him after getting married.
That would be like the sky collapsing!
The police officer's kind suggestions and the reminder from another victim whose husband of ten years cheated on her, made Li Mufeng understand that he couldn't keep his girlfriend, Liu Xiufang.
They could divorce after ten years of marriage, so he could certainly break up with his girlfriend who had only been with him for two years.
Li Mufeng knew he really loved Liu Xiufang. Even if she didn't work, didn't do chores, and always said Li Mufeng was incapable, powerless, and useless, he treated her really well and even gave her a thousand yuan every month. He worked temporary jobs from time to time so that he didn't have to hesitate when Liu Xiufang wanted to buy new clothes.
As a man, a boyfriend, Li Mufeng truly wanted the best for his girlfriend like everyone else did. Even the sister he had doted on since she was small could also step aside.
And yet… what he got was this.
Really, there was a moment Li Mufeng felt like some kind of his faith shattered.
He felt like he was a joke. He thought his girlfriend loved him so much that she even quit her job to stay with him all the time. In the end, it turned out she quit her job not because she wanted to hang out with him every day, but to make it more convenient for her to date and get a room with other men.
Luckily, he discovered it in time!
It wasn't a big deal. He lost his girlfriend but he still had his family!

After thinking it through, Li Mufeng quickly held back the tears that almost came out. While he was feeling guilty about his mother and sister borrowing money everywhere for him to buy a house, he felt a little bit relaxed!
When Liu Xiufang requested for a house in Yang City and fifty thousand yuan of dowry, Li Mufeng didn't know what to do.
Houses in Yang City were expensive. Li Mufeng, who earned three thousand yuan a month, would have to stop eating and drinking for a decade to pay for the down payment for a 90-square-meter commercial house.
As for the fifty thousand yuan of dowry, it was quite easy instead. Although Li Mufeng sent his salary back home every month for his sister and two brothers to study and for his mother to buy medicine, he had saved some money.
But he and his family really didn't have the money to buy a house!
A house cost seven to eight hundred thousand yuan. When Li Mufeng told his family he was getting married to Liu Xiufang and Liu Xiufang was pregnant with his child, and after Li Mufeng promised to buy a house for Liu Xiufang, everyone in the family was out of breath because of the large amount of money. A few days ago, Li Mufeng's two brothers, who were in eighth grade, said that they wanted to drop out when they were on a phone call.
Li Mufeng hated himself at that time and he thought he was truly incapable.
He couldn't give his girlfriend a house she wanted and even made his brothers want to drop out of school… In order not to disappoint both parties, Li Mufeng could only work as hard as he could. Usually, he went to the night market to make fried noodles for three hours every day. And now, he worked there for eight hours after getting off from his master's restaurant so he could make more money. He couldn't even sleep for five hours when he returned to the flat every day.
Li Mufeng exerted himself to make money, but it turned out that his girlfriend, whom he could die for, slept with another man and the baby wasn't his as well… As he thought about it, he smiled again with endless bitterness. He was laughing at how dumb he was!
"Brother, should I just stay here with you?"
Li Muyao was a bit shocked by the rational Li Mufeng. Yes, her brother was nice to her in her impression, but he was also irresolute, hesitant, and had quite a strong Saint's heart. Now that he suddenly put up a crying and laughing face and acted like he was rational, Li Muyao really doubted for a second if this was the brother she remembered.
"No. With that kind of temper, Liu Xiufang will definitely vent her anger on you if she sees you here. Mooncake, listen to me. Go back first.
"I promise I'll go to find you once I deal with everything. I'll not let you worry about me."
Li Mufeng also knew his sister's thoughts.
He knew his sister had never liked Liu Xiufang as her future sister-in-law. She even reminded him a few times and asked him to be careful. Now that karma had arrived before him, Li Mufeng really couldn't lie to himself. It was time to let go!
He couldn't let his sister worry about him.
He could never let his sick mother and young sister worry about him, the future head of the family. That would be too unfilial.
"Good girl, listen to me!"
"But…"
"No buts. Listen to me. Your friend is still waiting. Even if you're not tired, he is!"
"You really don't need me to stay?"
"Absolutely no. I'm an adult!"
"Alright!"
Li Muyao put away the money and repeatedly confirmed that her brother didn't need her to stay here with him. After that, she took the cab back to the dorm with Color Hair.
When they arrived at the dorm, Li Muyao returned the one thousand yuan to Color Hair and got back the IOU.
She entered her room, turned on the light, and looked at this unfamiliar and also familiar eight-person dorm in front of her. She found the empty upper bed on the metal bunk bed in the corner and returned to the door to switch off the light gently and climbed onto her bed.
She didn't even want to shower.
After lying on her metal bed, Li Muyao suddenly smiled.
She had a house with three rooms and two living rooms at thirty-two, but she was the only one in such a huge home. Throughout the few years she lived there, she had only turned on the stove a few times. Li Muyao ordered delivery or dined in the cafeteria most of the time.
It wasn't that Li Muyao was lazy or didn't know how to cook, but she had gotten used to dining alone, eating hotpot alone, traveling alone… Apart from work, Li Muyao was alone all the time, so she wasn't quite comfortable with being alone when she was at home. However, even though she didn't like to be alone at home, she didn't go out as well and still stayed in the house when she had nothing to do.
If she really didn't want to stay at home and wanted to cook, Li Muyao would go to places with many people, like piano classes, foreign language classes, baking classes, yoga classes, and the gym.
And the one who caused Li Muyao to stay far from her family with a hint of hatred in her heart was Liu Xiufang!
The first day after being reborn, Li Muyao had already dealt with everything that happened in her last life.
This felt especially amazing!
She felt even happier than getting an order of a million yuan!
Li Muyao chuckled and immediately covered her mouth, thinking that she was truly lucky!
Being able to be reborn, become younger, and get so many skills from her last life, Li Muyao still felt that she was very rich, even though she had only five hundred yuan of savings left right now.
She was only nineteen!!!
She didn't become distant from her brother and mother and didn't meet the scumbag, but had all kinds of high-level skills in beauty and medical beauty treatments, which she was proud of in her previous life, and regained her desire for her dream.
Apart from not being able to get married, the biggest regret Li Muyao had in her last life was that she couldn't establish a beauty salon that completely belonged to her!
Li Muyao had already got the money, time, skills, and connections at that time, but she didn't have the energy and had lost the desire and impulse for opening her shop. The thirty-two-year-old Li Muyao had a Buddha-like mindset. If the scumbag didn't go to disturb her from time to time, she would never have gone on a blind date and met a great guy who was willing to marry her!
Sigh!
Thinking about the guy she met during the blind date… Li Muyao felt like she was irresponsible again. She had just agreed to marry him and then she vanished.
Li Muyao now felt regretful and ashamed not only because she didn't open her own beauty salon, but also because she didn't meet that good guy earlier!
Who could believe that Li Muyao was still single when she was thirty-two?
She had given people countless red packets for their wedding and newborn babies before she could even taste men. Those red packets had more than five hundred thousand yuan altogether and Li Muyao didn't recoup any of them back. What a shame!
Luckily, God let Li Muyao return to the time when she was an apprentice. Then, she must be able to meet a great guy!!!
Li Muyao thought since God sent her back, she must also be able to get everything she had during the pinnacle of her last life, including a house, a car, money, and a man, earlier.
Thinking of these wonderful things, Li Muyao even laughed when she was dreaming.

Thinking of these wonderful things, Li Muyao even laughed when she was dreaming.
Li Muyao's laughs brought a lot of gossip and complaints from the other seven people in the room.
"Has Li Muyao gone crazy? She was laughing in her sleep and woke me up."
"You think that's crazy? I bet you didn't hear her laughs at 4 am. It was in the middle of the night. Suddenly hearing Li Muyao's laughs at that time is what's truly terrifying!"
"If it wasn't that the elderly said we can't wake people who are sleepwalking, I would've beaten her up and ask her not to laugh so weirdly. She's only woken you up now, but I've already been disturbed by her strange laughs all night."
"I think Li Muyao may be dating that kid, Color Hair, right? They were out together last night and she still hadn't returned when I slept!"
"Tut, a cradle snatcher?"
"What's wrong with dating a younger boy? Color Hair and Li Muyao have the same hairstyle and wear similar make-up every day. They look so much like a couple!"
"Alright, stop dissing her over there. Muyao only treats Color Hair as a brother. Why are your thoughts so dirty?
"Don't forget that Muyao was the one who took your shifts when you had something to do and had to take a day off."
"You're all ungrateful. If you always talk about Muyao behind her back, I'll tell her about it and ask her not to help you when you're on leave."
The person who stepped up and refuted for Li Muyao was Li Muyao's best friend and a beautician apprentice that started working at the salon at the same time as Li Muyao, Wu Lanqi.
"Ah, Sister Lanqi, we're just joking. Hehe, don't tell Muyao. We won't say those things again next time."
"Right, what are you and Muyao going to have for breakfast?
"It's on us, okay?"
This apprentice was the one who said Li Muyao and Color Hair were dating. Her name was Lin Hong and she was twenty years old. She came here to be an apprentice a year earlier than Li Muyao and Wu Lanqi, but her heart wasn't focused on learning cosmetology, so she always hung out with her boyfriend.
There were requirements for apprentices to take day-offs in beauty salons. An apprentice had only one day off every month. Other than this day, you must make sure that someone had to take your position if you wanted to leave early or come late during other days.
Even though Li Muyao and Wu Lanqi had only been apprentices in the salon for six months, they worked really hard and were eager to learn. They always worked even during their day off every month. Thus, they had less time and chances to go out. The other apprentices who came earlier than them, like Lin Hong, always used them being new apprentices as an excuse.
They would ask the two of them to take their shifts and work in the hourly position.
Everything was mutually beneficial. If they didn't want to work or wanted to leave early while another person wanted to learn but had no place to, sure, they could give that person their time slot and the person would get all the customer bonuses she earned.
After all, the rules in a beauty salon were a bit strict. An apprentice could only become a beautician after learning for three years. Lin Hong and the others had already been here for more than a year or two, but the customer services they could handle were limited to facial care and hand care. The beauticians would never let them be involved in other deeper beauty care and body care services.
So, as Lin Hong and the others worked here for a long time, they also started to slack off eventually.
However, there are its benefits when they have learned to do beauty treatments for a longer time. Even if they were still apprentices, their basic salary would rise as time passed.
For example, Lin Hong had been an apprentice for one and a half years and her basic salary had reached eight hundred yuan. She also did a few facial care and hand care treatments with her teacher sometimes to get bonuses, so she could earn over a thousand yuan easily.
As for Li Muyao and Wu Lanqi, as they were new apprentices, they didn't only need to learn all kinds of knowledge, including beauty and body treatments and manicures at the Beauty Department on the second floor, but also had to maintain the cleanliness of the beauty salon. Additionally, when the Hairdressing Department on the first floor was short of staff, both of them also had to go downstairs to help customers wash their hair.
This was why Li Muyao, an apprentice beautician would hang out with Color Hair, an apprentice hairdresser.
"Thank you, Lin Hong. Muyao and I want pork rice rolls with extra chili. I will not tell Muyao about what happened today. You guys should pay attention as well."
After all, Wu Lanqi had gone through a year of a failed marriage and she was much older than these apprentices, so she knew she couldn't hold on to this matter. Li Muyao was the one who was involved. She had already been awakened, but still pretended she didn't hear anything. Wu Lanqi knew Li Muyao wouldn't argue with them.
So, she naturally pushed the boat along with the current and put aside the bad things they said about Li Muyao behind her back.
"We promise. We promise we'll definitely not talk nonsense next time! Hehe, then we'd like to go shopping and get something this afternoon. Will you and Muyao be alright?"
How would Lin Hong be so easy to take advantage of?
That was certainly impossible!
"Hm, I'll talk to Muyao later. She has been on leave for several days. There shouldn't be any problems."
Wu Lanqi was quite confident that Li Muyao would agree to this. She knew Li Muyao wanted to work overtime every day before she was on leave. No matter if it was at the Beauty Department on the second floor or the Hairdressing Department on the first floor, Li Muyao would be thrilled as long as she had work to do since her brother was going to get married and he needed money to buy a house in Yang City.
As his sister, Li Muyao wanted to help with some of the finances.
However, Li Muyao had a really low salary as an apprentice, so she could only take up all kinds of small work that Lin Hong and the others weren't willing to do and ran to the first floor to help customers wash their hair, to get more bonuses.
"I know Sister Lanqi and Muyao are the best. We'll go get some breakfast then."
When they left and shut the door, Wu Lanqi walked to Li Muyao's metal bed, looked up, and pulled Li Muyao's blanket off as she said with a smile, "You're awake. Why didn't you get up?"
"You were listening to our conversation on purpose, weren't you?
"You're usually not like this, but you didn't say a word and wasn't irritated today. That's not easy!"
Li Muyao was young and usually easy-going!
However, she had quite a fiery temper. If someone said something bad about Li Muyao, she would directly strike back. Li Muyao always took up the shifts of the other apprentices like Lin Hong because she wanted more money. And yet, in Li Muyao's perspective, her kindness didn't imply that Lin Hong and the others could bully her and it wasn't something they could use to order her about casually.
Li Muyao's temper was famous in the Beauty Department and even the Hairdressing Department on the first floor!
The Hairdressing Department on the first floor served all kinds of customers every day. There were more male customers than female customers, so people that came here were a bit more complicated than those in the Beauty Department.
Li Muyao was quite good-looking, especially when she first came to Yang City, she was completely a pure and cute little girl.
Since she was a new apprentice, she was usually assigned to the first floor to wash people's hair after the beauty foundation classes and the male customers would touch her hands and her bottom.

Being harassed by a male customer all of a sudden, Li Muyao was so terrified that she immediately put the showerhead, that produced hot water for washing hair, on the customer's face.
It was the coldest day in Yang City in the last five years, so they used hotter water when they washed customers' hair.
Li Muyao's subconscious counterattack immediately angered the male customer who harassed her and he even said a lot of unpleasant things to Li Muyao.
For example, "You're just a shampoo girl. What's wrong with touching you? Are you worried that I won't pay? I have a lot of money. I only wanted to touch you because you look pure. Which hair salon doesn't sell their shampoo girls?"
For example, he swore at Li Muyao for being hypocritical and shameless.
…There were things that sounded even more unpleasant, so unpleasant that Li Muyao couldn't bear any more. She put the employee rules she spent three days memorizing aside and stepped up to argue with that male customer.
Li Muyao was completely enraged at that time and she immediately shouted back at him. That male customer wasn't as eloquent as Li Muyao and he tried to hit her. However, nobody had thought that the eighteen-year-old girl would be able to knock that stocky male customer down directly. She even forced the male customer to apologize to her. After that, he paid and left with a frustrated and gloomy look.
Li Muyao rose to fame since then.
But also since that time, Li Muyao started putting on punk-style makeup like the apprentices at the Hairdressing Department like Color Hair.
After all, Li Muyao realized later on that a hair salon really did the kind of sexual business the male customer mentioned in the name of a "hair salon."
So, Li Muyao learned how to disguise herself, and at the same time, to pay attention to the bottom line of contact with male customers and be alert when talking to them.
Because of Li Muyao's counterattack, the female apprentices at the Beauty Department dared not make trouble with Li Muyao. They might say something about her behind her back sometimes, but if they were unfortunate enough to be heard by Li Muyao, she would immediately teach them how to behave on the spot.
This was also the reason why Wu Lanqi was so surprised that Li Muyao didn't fight back like usual when she heard the bad things Lin Hong and the others said about her, let alone teaching them a lesson.
She only felt a bit strange.
"I don't think they'd dare to say anything outside. Besides, Color Hair and I are close friends like sisters and brothers.
"An upright person is not afraid of gossip."
It wasn't that Li Muyao didn't care about what Lin Hong and the others said about Color Hair and her behind her back. It was because she still couldn't react to the fact that she had truly returned to nineteen years old the moment she woke up.
That was why she closed her eyes dumbfoundedly. She wanted to see if she would return to her big, soft bed in her huge house after she closed and opened her eyes again.
The result made Li Muyao disappointed. There wasn't a miracle!
"That's right. Don't care about those people!
"Muyao, I think you shouldn't put on the punk-style makeup anymore. You look much better now than you used to be when you had make-up on.
"You're a total beauty!"
Wu Lanqi still remembered how stunned she was when she first met Li Muyao. Li Muyao was indeed very pure and very beautiful a year ago. People could remember her face easily after a glance. And yet, after being harassed by male customers many times during the first month in the salon, she had never seen Li Muyao's original appearance anymore.
Even though Li Muyao fought back and punched those shameless male customers several times when she was harassed, Li Muyao was harshly scolded by the managers of the Hairdressing Department and the Beauty Department, and half of her salary was even deducted.
So, being too beautiful was also a sin.
Just like Wu Lanqi, she was pretty but was slightly plump. When she went to the first floor to help customers wash their hair, she had never been harassed or groped by any male customer.
"Hm, when I get off today, I'll ask Color Hair to dye my hair black again."
Li Muyao must change her image. If not, she would also be scared to tears by her appearance.
After Li Muyao got ready, she talked to Wu Lanqi about things in the salon the last four days when she was on leave. When she heard pretty much everything, Lin Hong and the others came back with breakfast. They immediately put up a solicitous smile on their faces as they saw Li Muyao.
"Muyao, Lili and I want to get off early. Can you and Sister Lanqi take over us for an hour?"
"Right, Muyao, just say yes. We haven't gone out for four days already. If you agree, we can bring you something good to eat when we get back. What do you think?"
Li Lili also convinced Li Muyao. They knew that once Li Muyao agreed, Wu Lanqi would have no problem as well.
When Li Muyao was on leave the last four days, Wu Lanqi had never agreed to take their shift even once. Lin Hong and Li Lili even said Wu Lanqi was Li Muyao's lackey behind their backs.
"This is not my decision to make. I have to see if the manager is fine with it or not. If she has no problem with that, we're okay!"
Before Li Muyao answered, she first looked at Wu Lanqi and replied after seeing her nod.
"I'll talk to the manager. It should be fine. Finish your breakfast quickly. We'll go to the salon together afterward."
After getting Li Muyao's consent, everyone at the breakfast table started talking about the gossip of a new customer happily.
Walking towards this familiar shop again, Li Muyao fell into a bit of a trance, but a voice pulled her back to this familiar yet unfamiliar salon.
"Muyao, if you're coming to work, clean up all the rooms first, then change all the sheets of the salon beds to new ones and mop the floor."
The person who asked Li Muyao to do chores was Li Muyao's beautician teacher, Chen Shuping. She was twenty-seven this year and had been in this industry for ten years, so she was quite an experienced beautician. However, Chen Shuping was very petty and she refused to teach Li Muyao professional cosmetology knowledge. When their manager asked Chen Shuping to give Li Muyao a lesson, she always said something unimportant.
Or repeated the same point all the time.
This was why Li Muyao was willing to take over Lin Hong and the others. Li Muyao could get the notes of the classes they took throughout these years since they became apprentices. She didn't know why she had already felt that Chen Shuping took an instant dislike to her since the first day she came to the salon as an apprentice.
After that, Li Muyao experienced Chen Shuping's obvious evil intentions countless times.
In her last life, Li Muyao left this beauty salon she had been training at for three years partly because Chen Shuping targeted her and always made things difficult for her.
"Okay, Miss Chen."
Li Muyao ran to the private beauty rooms obediently and started tidying things up.

Chen Shuping was shocked by such an obedient Li Muyao. She remembered when she refused to let Li Muyao take leave a few days ago, Li Muyao immediately threatened her with her fists. Only then did Chen Shuping allow it and sign the leave approval for her. Before Li Muyao left, she continued to threaten Chen Shuping, asking Chen Shuping not to give her any more chores.
If not, Li Muyao would really beat her teacher, Chen Shuping, up.
Chen Shuping stood there, then took two steps forward and stopped again. Which part of Li Muyao was different today?
After pondering for a while, Chen Shuping finally realized that Li Muyao didn't put on the makeup that could scare ghosts to death today and she also tied up her Korean punk hairstyle.
Li Muyao looked much cleaner and neater.
Even the disgust she originally felt towards Li Muyao also reduced at that moment.
Had she become the legendary "sight for sore eyes"?
Li Muyao didn't know that Chen Shuping, who had always disliked her, became less disgusted by her because of her sudden changes.
If she knew, she would have smiled and said confidently, "That's a must. Look at my face. I'm a total beauty! There are face-judgers in any era, let alone in the beauty industry, and they're naturally attracted to beautiful things."
She first cleaned all the private beauty rooms, then stood next to Chen Shuping to be her assistant with Wu Lanqi as they had a forty-minute facial technique class at the same time.
"Alright, that's it for today's class. Try to practice on each other's faces. When you practice ten, twenty times, your techniques will almost be proficient."
Chen Shuping talked about much more professional cosmetology knowledge today than she usually would and her attitude also became better because of Li Muyao's clean, innocent and pretty face.
When Li Muyao and Wu Lanqi entered the apprentice practice room, Wu Lanqi filled a small basin with warm water as she talked to Li Muyao who was laying bed sheets.
"Miss Chen seems to be in a pretty good mood today. She didn't shout at you or scold you.
"Muyao, do you think Miss Chen's boyfriend proposed to her?
"After all, Miss Chen and her boyfriend have been together for eight years. If they don't get married, I don't think Miss Chen will ever be able to."
Chen Shuping was getting married?
That was impossible!
Li Muyao had been an apprentice for three years in her last life. When she left, Chen Shuping still hadn't got married to her boyfriend.
The exact reason was unknown!
"She didn't shout at me or scold me because I answered all her questions. As for her and her boyfriend? Sister Lanqi, I suggest you not gossip about it.
"We both know Miss Chen's temper."
Petty, holds grudges against people and she can't bear to hear any bad comments about her from the apprentices.
"Alright, Sister Lanqi, lie down. Let me help you do a facial."
It had been many many years since Li Muyao did a facial for someone.
But right here, Li Muyao was still a new apprentice who had been learning for a bit more than six months.
"Okay, we can memorize a few main points Miss Chen said just now as we do it."
Beautician apprentices were the same as medical students. Everything must be put into practice and they had to repeat doing them on each other's faces countless times, memorizing all parts of the face, the exact position of acupuncture points and techniques. Different areas all required a different degree of strength in their hands.
When Li Muyao first started doing it, she was still a bit unfamiliar. However, in less than a minute, she had got her touch back. Skills like this would be remembered for a lifetime once learned, not to mention Li Muyao had relied on it to make a living for more than a decade. How would she forget?
Those were basically memories that had imprinted on her bones, so she could do those things well even if she closed her eyes.
"Oh God, Muyao, did you sneak out to see some master in the last few days when you were on leave? Your technique, your strength, your precision, it's even more comfortable than when Miss Chen massaged my face.
"Compared to how you did it before your leave, it's totally like heaven and earth!"
That was too surprising!
Li Muyao couldn't blame Wu Lanqi for being so shocked. Both of them were beautician apprentices that came to the salon at the same period. Things they did and classes they took were exactly the same and their education levels were also similar. They should be people on the same starting line. Why had Li Muyao suddenly run to the finishing point without her?
While she was shocked, she also felt a bit sad and jealous at the same time.
"It's not that different. I only went to a large beauty salon secretly to experience it a few times."
Li Muyao certainly wouldn't tell Wu Lanqi she was a soul of a senior beautician manager from the future?
After all, nobody knew where she went in the last few days when she was on leave, except for Color Hair.
So, Li Muyao must make up a reasonable explanation to account for her proficient beauty techniques and increase in cosmetology knowledge.
"A few times? Experience in a large beauty salon? Isn't that expensive?"
The large beauty salons were much more expensive than Wanhua Beauty Department, where Li Muyao was working at. Of course, their services were more professional and there wouldn't be apprentices serving customers at all.
At Wanhua Beauty Salon, apprentices also had to help when the shop was too busy.
"Yeah, I spent all the money I saved in the last few months, but it turned out pretty great!"
Wu Lanqi knew she wouldn't be willing to spend a few months of salary to go to other beauty salons to experience the techniques of other beauticians. After all, apprentices only got a small amount of salary and it was better to use as little money as they could.
After that, maybe Wu Lanqi was too tired or enjoying it too much. She didn't ask Li Muyao any more questions.
Li Muyao wanted to tell Wu Lanqi more about it and to take the opportunity to teach Wu Lanqi some cosmetology knowledge naturally in the form of a discussion, but Wu Lanqi didn't want to. Li Muyao also didn't say anything else. She only did a very complete facial treatment for Wu Lanqi quietly.
When Li Muyao finished everything, Color Hair came from downstairs, "Sister Yao, quickly go to the Hairdressing Department. We have too many customers right now, but two shampoo girls are on leave today."
"Tony asked me to come and get you!"
Hearing the name Tony, Li Muyao chuckled.
This wasn't a meme on the Internet in her last life, but the senior hairdressers in many hair salons were really called Tony.
The manager of the Wanhua Hairdressing Department on the first floor was Tony and their deputy manager was Denis. They had a really high hairdressing level and charged much higher than normal hairdressers. Normal hairdressers only charged 15 yuan for shampooing, haircutting, and styling. And yet, Tony and Denis could charge 35 yuan for drying and styling, excluding shampooing, and at least 50 yuan for haircutting.
If customers wanted Tony or Denis specifically to dye their hair or redesign a hairstyle, the price would get even higher.
"Sister Yao, is it something I said? Why are you laughing? Or is it because of what I'm wearing today?"
Color Hair looked at the pure pretty girl in front of him. Seeing her smile so adorably at him, he inexplicably felt tickles in his nose.

"It's not you. I just thought of a joke. Alright, let's go down together."
Li Muyao immediately started tidying things up and put away all the skincare products the apprentices could use, then said to Wu Lanqi, who was still resting on the bed, "Sister Lanqi, I'll go down to help first."
When there weren't many customers in the beauty salon, the apprentices here were just handymen that did all the chores. However, when there were a lot of customers and the beauticians couldn't serve them in time, they would ask their apprentices for help.
Color Hair came to get Li Muyao in the morning when the Beauty Department was free and the Hairdressing Department was busy.
Li Muyao and Wu Lanqi were the only ones who were willing to be shampoo girls downstairs.
Since Color Hair came up and said Li Muyao's name only, Wu Lanqi didn't move.
Wu Lanqi only replied with a soft sound. Li Muyao then followed Color Hair downstairs. Color Hair said a bit furiously, "Sister Yao, what's wrong with Wu Lanqi?"
"You talked to her so politely, but she didn't even reply to you."
"I'm not mad, so why are you? Okay, let's go to help quickly."
Li Muyao hit the back of Color Hair's head, but of course not hardly.
"You're my Sister Yao. Whoever dislikes you must be blind. Right, Sister Yao, it's really busy today. Go, go, go, let me take you to the customers."
The Hairdressing Department didn't only have a shampooing area, there was also a haircutting area and a resting room for customers to wait for their turn. There were desks, a television, tea, water, and all kinds of drinks, newspapers, magazines, and the four great classical novels of Chinese literature inside, so customers could wait and kill time without feeling bored.
Color Hair brought Li Muyao into the resting room. "These two gentlemen have been waiting for ten minutes. Sister Yao, we'll serve one each." He then turned to the two gentlemen and said politely, "Sorry to keep you waiting.
"Would you like to shampoo your hair only or would you need a haircut as well?
"It is 15 yuan for standard shampooing, haircutting, and styling.
"35 yuan for a Thai massage with shampooing, haircutting, and styling.
"If you would like a European massage, ear-picking service, shampooing, haircutting, styling, and exclusive service from our senior hairdresser, it will cost at least 50 yuan."
Both of the customers look like businessmen, which is why Color Hair mentioned the last and the most expensive service.
"Alright, we'll enjoy the European package. You don't have to talk to us in such a courteous manner. We're both managers from Xinghong Securities opposite your salon. I'm Mr. Liu and he's Mr. Chen.
"We'll be neighbors from now on and we'll always meet. Of course, if any of you want to dabble in the stock market in the future, come find us."
Liu Gucheng looked at his friend, Chen Qing, then sized up the little girl behind Color Hair a bit. He then stopped gazing and started talking to Color Hair.
"That's right. We'll be neighbors from now on. We can help each other out. Thank you for shampooing our hair."
Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng had great chemistry. The friendly smiles on their faces immediately made people feel like they were easy-going.
Color Hair and Li Muyao brought Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng to the chairs at the shampooing area, each serving one of them.
Li Muyao was responsible for Liu Gucheng. She brought two towels with her, one for wrapping the collar of his shirt from the back of his neck to prevent the water from running into the shirt when she washed his hair, and the other for covering the collar like a bib for a baby to avoid the shampooing water from accidentally flowing down from his face.
Since the gentlemen chose the European package, they would certainly use the most expensive shampoo. Li Muyao first wet Liu Gucheng's hair, then pumped a large amount of shampoo onto her palm, creating bubbles with her hand, and started washing Liu Gucheng's hair.
"Manager Liu, does your head feel itchy?"
"A little."
"Okay, is this strong enough for you?"
"You can do it a bit stronger. Use your fingertips and scratch harder."
"Sure."
Li Muyao only took eight minutes to shampoo Liu Gucheng's hair. She cleaned his hair and wrapped it up. She then took out the massager Color Hair got for her just then, plugged it in, and set it on the lowest mode. "Manager Liu, does the vibration of the massager need to be stronger?"
"No, thank you."
After Liu Gucheng felt comfortable, Li Muyao didn't take the initiative to talk to him anymore. She started listening to how Color Hair talked to Manager Chen Qing at her signal like a curious child.
"Manager Chen, if we open an account at your securities company, would you recommend us any stocks?"
"If our customers want, we can recommend some stocks with a higher chance of winning. Of course, it's none of our business whether they'll buy them or if the stocks fall or rise."
"That I can understand. It's like a matchmaker only introduces people to you, but doesn't help you deliver your child. So, how much money do we need to open an account at your securities company?"
"A thousand yuan will do. If you want to buy some cheap stocks, you can do so with a thousand yuan."
"Um? I don't really understand. Can you explain it for me?"
"Sure. For example, the stock of Anxing Group is now 4 yuan per share, right? So, with a thousand yuan, you'll be able to buy two hundred shares and you have to buy a minimum of a hundred shares."
"In our jargon, it's called a round lot."
"One round lot is a hundred shares."
"That sounds pretty nice. If the stock drops, will I be losing money?"
"Buying a stock that has fallen is not a loss. As long as you don't sell it and still have it in hand, you aren't at a loss. It's just that you'll take longer to earn money.
"After all, all stocks go up and down. If it drops today, it may rise again tomorrow.
"But of course, stocks are risky. Please be cautious when entering the market!"
"Oh, do you buy stocks as well?"
"For sure! We don't just buy them ourselves. We also help some customers with that. After all, some of them have money but have no time. So, they let us manage their account fully and we'll also charge them an appropriate amount of fees."
"I see. That's great."
"If you and this pretty lady are interested, you can come open an account with us. We'll give you the lowest rate for the transaction fees."
"Oh? Sure! When we have time, I'll come to find you with Sister Yao.
"Alright, it's time for ear-picking. Let me ask our professionals to come. Manager Chen, please wait for a while."
Twenty minutes later, Color Hair and Li Muyao walked out of the shampooing area together and went to the cashier of the Hairdressing Department to check out for the gentlemen, then returned to the staff waiting area and sat down.
"Sister Yao, why did you want me to ask so many questions? Do you really want to buy stocks? You'd better not play with that. A few years ago, a relative in my family lost all the compensation money he received for demolishing his house. It was a miserable loss for him. He lost his house and even committed suicide in the end."
Color Hair wasn't interested in stocks at all.
Since Color Hair had known Li Muyao for a long time, he knew and understood the meaning of every expression in Li Muyao's eyes. So, there was clearly a problem when Li Muyao asked him to ask those questions!

People in the entire Hairdressing Department knew that ever since Li Muyao got harassed by the male customer last year, she wouldn't communicate with the customers unless necessary. She would never initiate small talk with them. She was a breath of fresh air among countless shampoo girls who would ask their customers to apply for membership all the time.
So, when she suddenly asked Color Hair to get more information.
How could Color Hair possibly not be worried?
How could she touch things like stocks?
Definitely a no!
Color Hair remembered when he was little, many families in his village sold their houses and suddenly became rich overnight. However, after they entered the stock market, many of them became poor again overnight. One of his relatives even, as Color Hair said just then, lost his family and committed suicide because of stocks.
"I indeed have the idea. Color Hair, do you trust me?"
Li Muyao had already become so excited internally that she was almost overwhelmed when Manager Chen mentioned the Anxing Group. If it wasn't that she had only a few hundred yuan in her pocket, she would have already agreed to open a securities account right away.
After all, she was reborn in 2020. Li Muyao controlled her expression very well.
She was poor and had no money at all. Li Muyao immediately thought of her brother, who was still taking care of Liu Xiufang in the hospital and hadn't come to see her, and the dowry he had which was original for Liu Xiufang.
"Of course I trust you, Sister Yao!"
"Great! Take a leave of absence to get some money from my brother later. Then, we'll go to Manager Chen to open a securities account together.
"If you trust me, take part of your pocket money out to buy stocks.
"We don't need much. We'll just play for one round. When we earn some money, we'll immediately withdraw, alright?"
Li Muyao had a lot of customers in her last life and countless of them were strong women. Some of them made money by investing in the real estate market and some by speculating in the stock market, so she naturally heard a lot of complicated information.
As an outstanding senior beautician manager, she must have a great memory.
Li Muyao must remember the character, features, hobbies, and jobs of every customer clearly. Otherwise, when the customer came again next time and talked to you about the same topics you discussed last time, and you couldn't follow or have forgotten, you would have a great chance of losing this customer.
Since the customer would feel that you were absent-minded and that you acted attentive only because of the beauty card that was worth a million yuan.
And after they bought the beauty card, you wouldn't even bother to talk to them.
This was a huge no-no for beauticians!
When the customer found that you weren't as suitable for her as she thought, she would choose another beautician to serve her.
And if the customer was transferred to another beautician, you would have less customer bonus and less salary. Your salary might even be deducted.
So, to become a truly outstanding senior beautician, Li Muyao paid an old professor in a famous university five hundred thousand yuan to customize a unique memorizing method for herself.
"Ah… Alright, Sister Yao, I'll listen to you. Should I go to see your brother now?"
It wasn't that Color Hair was in a hurry, but he knew Li Muyao was impatient. When she said later, it meant right now.
"Just wait for a while. Bring your phone here. Let me talk to my brother about this first. I also have to ask him where he is. If not, you'll waste your time."
Li Muyao didn't have money, but her brother did.
According to Li Muyao's understanding of Liu Xiufang from her last life, even if Liu Xiufang had completed the dilation and curettage(DC) operation last night, she wouldn't agree to end things with her brother so easily.
Even if her brother broke up with Liu Xiufang, Liu Xiufang would certainly ask him for money.
The money wasn't just from her brother. There were also her mother's savings and two thousand yuan from Li Muyao.
To let her Saint of a brother, oh no, stop him from becoming a "good man" that paid anything for his ex-girlfriend, Li Muyao could only take action first.
Holding Color Hair's Nokia flip phone, Li Muyao spaced out for a few seconds. After all, she had already gotten used to the touch screen smartphones. With a phone that could crack walnuts in her hand, she subconsciously wanted to take a picture of it.
"Sister Yao, you don't know how to use this phone, right? Let me teach you. It's simple."
Color Hair said a lot of things and Li Muyao also told him her brother's number without hesitation. When her brother picked up the call, she took the phone and started crying, making Color Hair next to her dumbfounded!
"Brother, I accidentally broke some beauty equipment at the beauty salon. Our manager wants me to pay for it. Wuuu! What should I do?"
She cried like she was terrified, but her face was still full of the excitement she had when she talked to Color Hair about earning money with stocks just then.
Li Muyao didn't want to lie to her brother as well, but if she didn't cry, she would never be able to take money from him, no matter how many excuses she made.
Although Li Mufeng loved his sister very much, it was impossible for him to give her forty thousand yuan all of a sudden!
After Liu Xiufang woke up, Li Mufeng had never said a word and Liu Xiufang also seemed to know that what she did had been exposed, so she didn't know how to face Li Mufeng. When the surgery ended, she kept pretending she was sleeping even after she woke up.
Until today morning when Liu Xiufang was extremely hungry, she finally asked Li Mufeng to get her something to eat.
When Liu Xiufang saw that her useless boyfriend, Li Mufeng, was still treating her so well like he used to, all the emotions she had after the incident last night; shock, fear, guilt, regret, all disappeared in an instant.
However, Liu Xiufang knew what she had to do to make Li Mufeng forgive her.
Liu Xiufang had already lost that rich "husband" and she couldn't lose Li Mufeng, her backup ATM, as well. So, when Li Mufeng got her nourishing soup and porridge, Liu Xiufang started crying bitterly while repenting in front of Li Mufeng.
She began to make up a story, saying that she didn't know what to do and that she was forced to do so. She said that a weak woman like her couldn't reject that guy. She said she didn't want to do it at all, but was threatened in the end, etc..
If Miss Huang didn't sit next to Li Mufeng last night and tell him everything the old man and Liu Xiufang had done over the past year and show Li Mufeng a few pictures, Li Mufeng would truly have believed what Liu Xiufang said.
Li Mufeng was a man after all. After he knew he was cuckolded, he still sat there quietly and watched Liu Xiufang's self-directed crying drama for almost an hour before he gritted his teeth and hardened his heart to say it.
"Xiufang, let's break up!"
"No, no, no, I don't want to break up. I love you so much. Why do you have to break up with me during my most painful and difficult time?
"Li Mufeng, you're a total ruthless jerk!"
"I quit my job for you. I took care of you every day. I've already given up so much for you. Why are you leaving me?
"No, I'm not breaking up!
"You said you'd marry me and buy me a house.
"You said you'd only love me your entire life. You must keep your promise.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Okay?
"Can't you just forgive me once?"

Liu Xiufang cried, yelled, and scolded, which got the nurses and doctors involved. After being warned, Li Mufeng stood next to Liu Xiufang's bed and asked her to drink some soup and eat something first. Liu Xiufang immediately made a scene. She knocked the bowl Li Mufeng gave her over onto the ground and started crying again silently.
Finally, the ringtone of an incoming call saved Li Mufeng.
However, once Li Mufeng picked up the call, he heard his sister's terrified cry. "Mooncake, don't cry. It's alright. It's alright."
When Liu Xiufang, who was crying silently, saw the useless Li Mufeng directly avoid her and leave because of a phone call from his jinx sister, her resentment and complaints against him in the bottom of her heart increased.
"Li Muyao, that jinx must have caused this!"
Liu Xiufang blamed Li Muyao once again. After all, Li Muyao was the only person who had seen Liu Xiufang hung out with another man intimately and mentioned it to Li Mufeng, this useless, stupid guy. Although Li Mufeng chose to believe his girlfriend, Liu Xiufang didn't believe that Li Muyao, as his sister, was never involved in such a huge incident.
Li Mufeng was indeed forced to a corner because of his girlfriend, Liu Xiufang. He knew he loved Liu Xiufang deeply, but when Liu Xiufang did something that was against his values and morality, it was really difficult for him to continue this relationship.
The phone call from his sister gave Li Mufeng a chance to breathe, but what she said in the call didn't make him more relaxed.
Pay for the damages?
Broke the beauty equipment at the beauty salon?
God, that would need more than tens of thousands of yuan!
No matter how serious it was and how much it would cost, Li Mufeng knew he must comfort his terrified sister first, even though he was anxious. "Mooncake, don't cry. Don't cry. Tell me what exactly happened."
Ten minutes later, Li Mufeng finally knew everything about the incident. When his sister was learning with her beautician teacher, she used the equipment incorrectly and broke a machine that cost sixty thousand yuan. The beauty salon wanted her to pay for the damage.
"So, your manager agreed to let you pay for part of it first, no matter how much? The remaining amount will be deducted from your salary gradually?"
Knowing that the manager of the beauty salon was willing to let them pay for part of the money first and pay the rest slowly in the future, Li Mufeng was immediately relieved. "That's great. Don't cry, Mooncake. Don't be scared.
"I still have the fifty thousand yuan of dowry I borrowed from home to marry Xiufang…
"I don't need it anymore. Ask that kid from your shop, Color Hair, to come and get it. I trust him."
Li Mufeng knew that Color Hair's family had shares in the beauty salon.
"Alright, alright, I'll wait for him at the entrance of the hospital."
Once Li Mufeng hung up the call from his sister, He immediately took out his debit card from the wallet in his pocket and went out of the hospital to see if there was a bank somewhere nearby to withdraw the money.
…
"It's done. Color Hair, go and take the money quickly. Just repeat what I said just now to my brother. Go now. I'll take over your position here at the Hairdressing Department."
Li Muyao had an excited smile on her face. Where was her crying expression and voice when she lied to her brother on the phone?
"Don't adore me. I'm just a legend!"
Li Muyao felt a bit pleased when Color Hair looked at her with glittering eyes.
This was the first time Color Hair saw Li Muyao change her expression and voice. He was completely stunned!
He immediately gave a thumbs up. The phrase "my streetwise Sister Yao" was almost written on his face. He was extremely in awe. "Oh my God! Sister Yao, you're incredible! Your face-changing and voice-changing techniques are simply unbelievable!
"If you become a movie star, you'll certainly be famous.
"You're too impressive!!!
"You're indeed my Sister Yao. Your coaxing skills are exceptional."
Color Hair had only known that Sister Yao had a nickname called Mooncake two days ago, which he found really cute. And now, that cuteness had already been scared away by Li Muyao's face-changing skill just now.
Before the buds of a romance had even grown, its roots had already been shaken out!
Color Hair was very speedy when it came to helping Sister Yao. He told Tony he wanted to take a leave and even borrowed a motorcycle from Denis, his cousin. Within half an hour, he had already brought the fifty thousand yuan from Li Mufeng and another fifty thousand yuan, which was from his pocket money, to Li Muyao.
Li Muyao took the black plastic bag in Color Hair's hands and said proudly, "Let's go. Sister Yao is taking you to make money."
Xinghong Securities had only opened for a few days. When Li Muyao and Color Hair came, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng were thrilled and shocked. They couldn't help but feel a bit more convinced of what they said to this big boss and were impressed at the same time.
"Hey, kid, you really came to give us business. Thank you so much. Have a drink. Are you planning to open an account together or one each?"
Chen Qing immediately sat down and chatted, while Liu Gucheng went to get some water. He even took all the fruits and snacks here. Such enthusiasm made other staff feel like Color Hair and Li Muyao were customers with a million yuan. After all, they were too eye-catching when the two managers greeted them so passionately at the same time.
Color Hair glanced at Li Muyao and replied, "I'm not an adult yet, so I can't open an account. Sister Yao will do it. How does it work?"
"Kid, you're so handsome and tall, and you even know how to take care of your sister at such a young age. You're such a good boy. Give Manager Liu your sister's ID card and go take a photo. After that, we'll go to a bank designated by our securities company to apply for a debit card, put the money inside, and activate mobile banking.
"Then, it'll also be convenient for you to transfer the money in the securities account to your bank account anytime in the future."
Chen Qing kept looking at Li Muyao as he spoke.
Li Muyao also knew that it was time for her to speak. "Alright, let's do it now. Can we buy stocks immediately after we finish the procedure today?"
"No, you can start buying at nine in the morning tomorrow. The stock market operates from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. every Monday to Friday."
"You can buy and sell stocks at any time during this period. Of course, if you're not free to do it, you can entrust us to help you."
"We're neighbors, after all, so we won't charge you the commission fee. What do you think?"
Even though Wanhua Beauty Salon, where Li Muyao and Color Hair worked, was just a street away, this timing was their working hours. Li Muyao indeed couldn't come to check on the stocks all the time. Color Hair's family might have shares in the shop, but it wasn't good to skip work so often, so letting Chen Qing manage it was the best choice for them.
"Would it cause any problems for you?"
Although Li Muyao said it didn't sound like a good idea, the smile in her eyes had betrayed her.

"No, no, we're neighbors. We should help each other out. Let's go. Manager Liu will take you through the procedure."
Chen Qing had gotten some information from that big boss and had already been taught what kind of attitude and tone he should use when speaking with this pretty girl Li Muyao so that she wouldn't doubt him.
Liu Gucheng soon completed the entire procedure for opening a stock account in half an hour.
When depositing money in the bank, Liu Gucheng was a bit surprised by the hundred thousand yuan Li Muyao took out, but he soon hid his emotions on his face. There were always customers with a million yuan like them, and Liu Gucheng knew Color Hair's family was a relocation
family
and also one of the shareholders of Wanhua.
It was normal for him to take out a hundred thousand yuan. After all, Color Hair's family had five acres of land, including their old house and pig farm, when they were relocated. As the first urban construction village in Gaochun District, the price of their village wasn't low. Even though it had almost been a decade, the money was enough for Color Hair, the second son of his family, to get such an amount.
Liu Gucheng didn't know that half of the hundred thousand yuan belonged to Li Muyao and the other half was just one-fourth of Color Hair's pocket money.
If Color Hair wasn't scared by those relatives and people he knew who committed suicide and lost their homes because of investing stocks back then, he would have taken out all of his pocket money for Li Muyao, based on his admiration and trust in her.
"Sister Yao, is it all done?"
Color Hair asked with a smile when he saw Li Muyao and Liu Gucheng, he immediately got up and ran to Li Muyao like a dog who saw its owner.
"Yes, we'll come to buy it at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow."
Li Muyao smiled and replied.
"Pretty Muyao, do you guys have any stocks you want to buy? Or do you want us to recommend a few good stocks for you?"
Chen Qing also stood up the moment Color Hair did and made a gesture of invitation.
It clearly meant that he still wanted to talk to Li Muyao for a while.
"Can you tell me which stocks you recommend? If they sound good, we'll buy according to your suggestions."
Li Muyao didn't really trust these two securities managers, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng. But, when they were shampooing their hair in the salon, they mentioned the Anxing Group, so Li Muyao wanted to know what else they would recommend.
Li Muyao had already decided to start investing in Anxing Group tomorrow anyway. The cost was only 4 yuan and it was a great place to start.
"Sure, sure! We've already recommended the Anxing Group. There is also Hongyun Pharmaceutical and Lechang Technology. These two stocks have a pretty good recent and future development trend."
Chen Qing listed three stocks he had studied and analyzed a long time ago and the one his big boss mentioned specifically.
Chen Qing didn't only recommend Li Muyao to buy these stocks, he and Liu Gucheng also bought some today. Even though they each invested only fifty thousand yuan, they could still follow in the footsteps of their big boss to earn some pocket money.
After all, they couldn't exceed a certain amount in their own investment in stocks.
"How about this? You should jot down my brother's phone number. We'll leave our account and password to you, so you can help us manage it in the future. When the stocks are around an important point, you can send a text to his number.
"You should know that we're both working and our job isn't as flexible as yours, so we can't go out.
"I'll remember these three stocks. Let us look them up on the Internet tonight and check. We'll come over to tell you which ones we're going to buy tomorrow morning. What do you say?"
Among the three stocks Chen Qing recommended, Li Muyao remembered two of them because her customer in her last life, who was the Queen of Stocks, always repeated them in front of Li Muyao. Those were thriving stocks, so Li Muyao remembered them especially.
Li Muyao was interested in two of these three stocks. This changed the previous distrust Li Muyao had in the two managers, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng.
Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng sent Li Muyao and Color Hair off and sat back down in the office. They each lit a cigarette and started talking after smoking a few puffs, breaking the silence.
"Old Liu, do you think Miss Li Muyao would take our suggestion and buy all three stocks or choose a couple of them to buy tomorrow?"
"I think they will choose two out of three. After all, they don't have much money in hand. They only have a hundred thousand yuan."
"Old Liu, you're confident in the stocks the boss recommended, right?" Even though Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng had already invested in the three stocks, they hadn't risen much in the last two weeks. Overall, they had only increased by less than 30 cents.
"Boss told us we have to get in touch with Miss Li Muyao. This must be right. Besides, we've also analyzed them ourselves. From our professional perspective, these three stocks are indeed promising and can help us make money."
"You must know that our big boss invests a million yuan in each stock. He has countless times more money in his hands than we do, which we can't even imagine."
Yes, the big boss Liu Gucheng and Chen Qing were talking about was their super VIP and also the biggest customer of Xinghong Securities.
They heard that the amount of money in his stock account had more than ten digits.
Therefore, Liu Gucheng thought that their boss would definitely not trick them as they were about to achieve what their boss asked them to do. It would be completely meaningless for him to do that.
As expected, at 9:20 a.m. the next day, Li Muyao and Color Hair took half an hour off to come to Chen Qing's office.
After getting off last night, Li Muyao seriously tried to remember everything the Queen of Stocks and her talked about in those ten years. In the end, Li Muyao decided to invest in Anxing Group and Lechang Technology. These two stocks had been mentioned more than five times by the Queen of Stocks, and what was the most unforgettable for Li Muyao was that the cost of these two stocks was low.
For example, the opening price of Anxing Group was 4.3 yuan today.
And that of Lechang Technology was 5.5 yuan.
That was great. Li Muyao divided her and Color Hair's money into two for buying, fifty thousand yuan each for the two stocks.
When these two stocks rise to 16 yuan, they could just sell them again.
"What? Pretty Muyao, you want us to sell them when they rise to 16 yuan?"
Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng were startled by Li Muyao's request. They had been working in this industry for many years. Some stocks did rise quite a lot every day in a week. However, Li Muyao, who seemed to know nothing, could tell them the exact point the stocks might rise to and ask them to sell the stocks for her?
"Yes, Manager Liu, I think these two stocks should be able to rise a lot. Anyway, when they rise to 16 yuan, just sell them. You must remember this.
"We both have no time to stare at the stock market every second."
"This…"
"No problem!"
Chen Qing stopped Liu Gucheng and didn't let him reject her or express his doubts.

The next few days, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng almost had to rely on quick-acting heart pills to survive.
Right, the stocks of Anxing Group and Lechang Technology were like they had seen a ghost.
They rose for three consecutive days!
Even right when the stock market opened!
"Luckily, it's Saturday tomorrow. If not, I think I'll really need to go to the hospital to see a cardiologist. This is too exciting!" Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng had been in this industry for a while. They had also analyzed these two stocks, but they had never thought there would be such a crazy day.
That was too weird! The trend became a total mystery!
"The trend of the stocks is indeed a bit astonishing. I have a feeling! They may really rise crazily to 16 yuan like Miss Li Muyao said!"
In just three days, they had already doubled.
Based on such crazy and weird increases right now, they might be able to reach the 16 yuan Li Muyao mentioned next Friday!
"That's really possible!"
Li Muyao didn't know Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng had to take medication to support their hearts so they wouldn't be frightened because of the weird trend of the stocks these few days. But, she also kept track of the trend through the texts Color Hair got from the securities company every day.
Every time Li Muyao saw Color Hair's texts, she became more relieved and felt like she was one step closer to getting rid of poverty.
Unfortunately, reality showed Li Muyao that although dreams were beautiful, they couldn't stand people that held them back, which was her own brother!
Sunday noon at twelve, it was Li Muyao's lunch and rest time.
A man and a woman came to Wanhua Beauty Salon. Since they were familiar faces, Color Hair quickly took them to the staff resting room to wait and he ran up to the Beauty Department on the second floor.
"Sister Yao, Sister Yao, your brother and his girlfriend are here. They're looking for you."
Li Muyao looked at the worried Color Hair. She was thinking of patting his hair to comfort him, but she got rid of this idea when she found that Color Hair was one head taller than she was.
However, Li Muyao still comforted Color Hair with a smile. "He's my brother after all. Do you really think they'll eat me?
"Don't worry. Even if they're really looking for me, how would I put myself in an unfavorable situation?
"Who am I?
"I'm your 'streetwise Sister Yao'. Only I can make people suffer. No one can take advantage of me.
"Right, where's my brother and Liu Xiufang?"
"The staff resting room on the first floor. Sister Yao, do you really not need me to go with you?"
Color Hair wanted to go with her, but thinking that Sister Yao was ten times more violent than he was, he immediately gave up the thought.
Li Muyao pushed the door of the resting room open, then glanced at Color Hair standing outside the door and directly locked it.
"Hey, Sister Muyao, who are you avoiding? You seem surprised to see me.
"Ha! I came here with your brother to tell you good news.
"Your brother and I will get married as scheduled.
"So, give us back the fifty thousand yuan of dowry your brother prepared for me right now. That is the money your brother prepared for me!
"You're just a sister-in-law. Don't ever try to take it. Otherwise, with my eloquence, your reputation will be completely destroyed within three days after you return to your home.
"Don't blame me for not reminding you when you can't get married in the future!"
Liu Xiufang thought the coward Li Mufeng could really be that tough. In the end, after she pretended to be weak and pathetic, cried for two days, and told some lies, she took down the stupid Li Mufeng once again right when she was discharged.
Liu Xiufang had already known that men could never get rid of their lust and desire!
Li Muyao and Liu Xiufang had been together for two years and Liu Xiufang knew too much about Li Mufeng. Of course, Liu Xiufang was truly determined to prove to Li Mufeng her innocence and determination this time.
She wrote a letter of guarantee to Li Mufeng.
She even promised Li Mufeng that she didn't want a house. She just wanted the fifty thousand yuan of dowry and she would be willing to get a marriage certificate with Li Mufeng. She was also willing to follow Li Mufeng back to his master's restaurant to continue working as a waitress, help Li Mufeng take care of his mother who needed to take medicines for treatment all the time, and his twin brothers who were still studying.
As for his sister, Li Muyao?
Liu Xiufang said that Li Muyao was already an adult and she was an apprentice. Her salon also provided her with meals and a place to stay, so they didn't have to worry about her at all.
How would Li Mufeng be a match for Liu Xiufang? After Liu Xiufang coaxed him like a kid and lied to him, he became obedient to her again and they were now here to ask Li Muyao for the money!
Li Muyao was still a bit doubtful about what Liu Xiufang said. After all, Liu Xiufang and her lover were caught at the hotel a few days ago and what Miss Huang said was enough for Li Mufeng to see and understand clearly what kind of woman Liu Xiufang was.
Liu Xiufang coming here not only meant that she was protesting Li Muyao but also provoking her.
Even though Li Muyao had already known her brother's character, she still couldn't help but look at Li Mufeng and ask, "Brother, this is what you want to tell me after these few days?
"Ha, right, I'm only your sister. You don't have to tell me about you and Liu Xiufang."
"Your life and your future are in your hands!"
Li Mufeng was a bit panicked by his sister's disappointed look, but he got himself back together when Liu Xiufang pinched his waist hard. Li Mufeng thought Liu Xiufang was right. His sister had to marry someone sooner or later.
Liu Xiufang was the one who was going to live the entire life with Li Mufeng in the future. Besides, Liu Xiufang was willing to become better for him, go back to work at the restaurant for him, and start a business and bear hardships with him.
Li Mufeng was a chef, but one who wasn't particularly good at cooking. He had been following his master for a long time and it was also meaningless to keep working for someone.
He would rather take the fifty thousand yuan to rent a store at the night market with Liu Xiufang to start his own business and be his own boss.
This way, Li Mufeng would be able to stay with his girlfriend, Liu Xiufang, every day and he could make more money to send back home.
Besides, Liu Xiufang promised Li Mufeng again and again that she wouldn't do anything to disappoint him in the future!
Li Mufeng truly loved Liu Xiufang. Otherwise, he wouldn't have humored Liu Xiufang, spoiled her, and protected her in the last two years.
It wasn't all Liu Xiufang's fault she got ruined by that old man this time. Like Liu Xiufang said, how could a small woman like her fight against a big guy?
That old man even threatened Liu Xiufang. If Liu Xiufang didn't obey that old man, he would kick Li Mufeng out of Yang City such that Liu Xiufang and Li Mufeng couldn't stay here anymore.
Li Mufeng didn't quite believe her at first, but a few of Liu Xiufang's friends came to scold Li Mufeng afterward and told him the same story Liu Xiufang used to deceive him, making Li Mufeng believe that it was real and that Liu Xiufang did this completely for him, to protect him. That was why she was forced to let that old man…
If not, Liu Xiufang wouldn't still want to marry Li Mufeng even when she knew she was pregnant with the baby of that old man. She and Li Mufeng were true love!
Li Muyao had no idea about all these. If she did, she would certainly be in awe of Liu Xiufang's mouth and deceit.
Only Li Mufeng, this kind of Saint who had fishes in his brain, would be deceived by someone like Liu Xiufang, who said things without logic at all and full of loopholes.

"Li Muyao, don't make it hard for your brother. You're his sister so you must know his character. I'll be honest with you. We're here today to ask you to give us back the fifty thousand yuan.
"We'll immediately go back home to get married when we get the money. Your mother also knows about this.
"Of course, you can take a leave and go back with us if you want. Otherwise, it's alright even if you don't attend our wedding!
"You've always looked down on me, your sister-in-law, anyway. It hasn't been just a day or two.
"I used to think that you'd show me some respect for the sake of your brother, who's been protecting you and doting on you since you were little. And now, you apparently don't take your brother seriously as well."
Liu Xiufang had dealt with the stupid Li Mufeng, so she had no burden at all when she provoked Li Muyao. In such a short conversation, she had been trying to destroy the brother-sister relationship between Li Muyao and Li Mufeng.
Li Mufeng's face immediately darkened. He still felt a bit guilty when he saw his sister's mockery and disappointment just now. However, after hearing what Liu Xiufang said, he instantly thought about the things Liu Xiufang said to him. "Your sister is a grown woman and she has her own thoughts. It's normal that she doesn't think about you all the time.
"Girls should get married after all.
"Most of them won't remember their own families when they get married.
"You're just her brother, who dropped out of school so she could stay in high school. She wouldn't even miss her own mother.
"If Li Muyao truly has treated you as a real brother, she wouldn't have tried to get between our relationship and she wouldn't have stopped us from starting our own business. She would have supported you and encouraged you.
"Think about this. Did your relationship with Li Muyao get worse after she came to Yang City?
"Did she also contact you less?
"That's because Li Muyao has a boyfriend. People's hearts change.
"Li Muyao may have given those fifty thousand yuan to her boyfriend… Girls really treat outsiders better…"
"So, Mooncake, the money…"
Li Mufeng rubbed his hands as he lowered his head. He did not dare to look his sister in the eye. He gritted his teeth to get rid of his anxiousness. "Mooncake, Xiufang and I are going home to get a marriage certificate. That's the dowry for her.
"Even though I prepared it for Xiufang, we decided to take the fifty thousand yuan to rent a store at the night market to sell fried noodles. From now on, I will not work in my master's restaurant anymore.
"So, the money… Can you ask your manager if he can give it back to you?
"If your manager isn't willing to do so, can you ask Color Hair to lend you some money?"
"That's right. I've already asked around. That kid who always hangs out with you, Color Hair, came from a relocated family. So, he can even give you five hundred thousand or five million yuan, let alone fifty thousand.
"Anyway, Li Muyao, your brother and I have already decided. We'll stay here until you give us the fifty thousand yuan back.
"We don't care if we affect the business of the salon or if people here have opinions about you!"
Liu Xiufang contacted her lover secretly and knew that Li Muyao went to the hospital with a boy the night of the incident. The boy's family was really rich and was a relocated family.
They even had shares in the beauty salon Li Muyao was working at.
Liu Xiufang thought if Li Muyao could marry someone from such a family in the future, she and Li Mufeng wouldn't need to worry about money anymore.
So, Li Mufeng didn't agree to take the fifty thousand yuan back at first, but Liu Xiufang induced him and did all kinds of tricks Li Mufeng liked in bed. There was nothing Liu Xiufang couldn't deal with in bed.
Li Muyao told herself not to be mad, not to be mad!
Even though Li Muyao had already gone through such saintly behavior of her brother, Li Mufeng, once in her last life, she still felt especially bad when she had to experience it again. If Li Mufeng wasn't her own brother, her fists wouldn't have held back and she would really have beaten him up until he forgot his mother.
Li Muyao took a few breaths. "Li Mufeng, I can give you back the fifty thousand yuan, but there's something I need to tell you. Please remember it!
"Your life is in your hands. No matter what happens in the future, don't look for me, and don't even think about asking Mom and our brothers to pay for your choices!
"Here's one last reminder for you. Liu Xiufang isn't a good woman. If you're really starting your own business, please keep your money tight. Don't let her cheat on you and give you another child of another man again.
"After all, a person either doesn't cheat at all or cheat countless times!"
Li Muyao then went to borrow money from Color Hair. Before she even finished writing the IOU, Color Hair had already run to Tony to borrow fifty thousand yuan cash first and brought it to Li Muyao.
Li Muyao didn't want to waste her time talking to a woman who was full of schemes like Liu Xiufang anymore and she immediately gave them the money. When Li Mufeng and Liu Xiufang left Wanhua, Li Muyao looked at the time and made a call. It was the time when her mother went out grocery shopping while her twin brothers were at home. Li Muyao told them everything about Liu Xiufang without hiding anything.
Of course, Li Muyao asked her two brothers to keep it a secret. After all, her mother had not been well. She couldn't let her suffer from such a huge blow. She only wanted to let them know the reason why she wouldn't attend Li Mufeng and Liu Xiufang's wedding.
Seeing Li Muyao hang up the call, Color Hair ran to her and said with a smile, "Sister Yao, come with me to the lottery shop to buy scratch cards.
"A few apprentices from our dorm got some yesterday and someone won a hundred yuan."
Color Hair squeezed the IOU in his pocket and felt sorry for Li Muyao. He couldn't believe that a dumb brother like Li Mufeng could make things so difficult for his sister because of a woman. That was completely stupid.
Thinking that Li Muyao was in a bad mood, Color Hair wanted to make her happy. After pondering for a while, he thought about the new scratch cards at the lottery shop opposite them. Sister Yao might be happier if she won a prize!
"Let's go, let's go. I've already talked to Tony and the guys on the second floor and helped you take half an hour off."
Color Hair didn't give Li Muyao a chance to reject. He grabbed her hand and ran to the lottery shop on the opposite side, throwing two hundred yuan generously to the shop owner. "Boss, give my Sister Yao a hundred 2-yuan scratch cards."
The shop owner also knew Color Hair. After all, they both did business on the same street.
The shop owner immediately took out a paper box full of scratch cards in front of Li Muyao and said, "Pretty girl, your forehead looks red today. You'll certainly be lucky."
"Hey, Boss, well said. Sister Yao has to be lucky today! Come one, give me a hundred tickets too!" Color Hair liked to hear people say good things about his Sister Yao. After hearing that, he generously bought a hundred 2-yuan scratch cards for himself as well.
Then, the shop owner got a super huge surprise for his words.
The person who brought surprises and shocks, and attracted onlookers around, was Li Muyao.
"Sister Yao, it's okay if you don't win. Do you want more? I still have twenty tickets left."
Color Hair saw Li Muyao stop scratching with the coin in her hand all of a sudden. He thought she had already finished scratching a hundred tickets and was sad about not winning any prizes like he did after scratching eighty tickets. So, he comforted Li Muyao and put the rest of his twenty tickets in front of her.

"I didn't win a prize indeed. There are just pictures of gold ingots on all of them. I didn't even get one yuan!"
Li Muyao was a bit disappointed by her luck. She got a hundred scratch cards, a hundred 2-yuan scratch cards. And yet, all she got was different numbers of gold ingots, so she was completely frustrated and wanted to cry.
"Sister Yao, don't be sad… Wait, Sister Yao, what did you just say? Let me see."
Color Hair heard what she said and noticed that something was wrong. The gold ingots on the scratch cards were the things they were looking for!
All of them had gold ingots?
Color Hair couldn't be sure before he checked, but when he did, he was stunned!
"Motherf*cker!
"Oh f*ck!!! Boss, come over here and have a look. Did Sister Yao win, win, win, win a prize???"
Color Hair was so shocked that he even spoke in the dialect he used in his hometown.
Color Hair was a bit too emotional and excited. He immediately jumped up, making the shop owner run over as well since the boss owner also heard Li Muyao said clearly that 'there were just pictures of gold ingots on all of them and that she didn't even get one yuan'.
"Hahahaha!!! You're indeed my Sister Yao. It isn't that you didn't win anything at all. You've won all of them. You're going to be rich!!"
"Sister Yao, we're not looking for numbers on the scratch cards, but these gold ingots. If you get one gold ingot on a scratch card, you can redeem it for five yuan, two gold ingots for ten yuan, three for a hundred yuan, four for five hundred yuan, and five for three thousand yuan."
"Until now, the lottery shop has sold tens of thousands of scratch cards and the largest prize people got was five hundred yuan only."
The other apprentice Color Hair mentioned before spent a hundred yuan to buy fifty tickets a few days ago, but he only got a ticket with three gold ingots.
It was already difficult to have three gold ingots on the same scratch card. However, Li Muyao didn't only get tickets with three gold ingots, but with four and five as well.
God, this was divine luck.
She was going to become rich!
The shop owner immediately squeezed over and pushed the lottery winner, Li Muyao, aside. His eyes under the spectacles widened and he kept mumbling like Color Hair, "This pretty girl is really going to become rich. What the f*ck!!!
"My lottery shop will also benefit from this pretty lady's fortune. It's going to be famous!
"Color Hair, your sister must have been blessed by the God of Wealth!
"There are three tickets with five gold ingots, six with four, twelve with three, and the remaining ones all have one or two gold ingots…"
If the shop owner didn't watch Li Muyao choose a hundred scratch cards casually, he would have doubted if this pretty lady had manipulated the results.
But now, he knew that this pretty girl had really been blessed by the God of Wealth!
"Hehe, my Sister Yao must really have been blessed by the God of Wealth. Quickly calculate it for us. How much will Sister Yao get from these hundred tickets?
"Sister Yao, Sister Yao, come here. I still have twenty tickets left. Help me scratch them. Let me have your luck as well!!!" Color Hair was so thrilled he wanted to scream. This is indeed Sister Yao. Her luck was totally unbelievable.
They both got two hundred yuan of scratch cards. Color Hair had scratched eighty of them but didn't get even one gold ingot.
And yet, Sister Yao won prizes from all of them and the value of the prizes was also different.
Li Muyao was first startled by Color Hair's screams and she was even pushed to the side by the excited shop owner. Her mind finally cleared up. It turned out it wasn't numbers that you had to scratch, but the gold ingots Li Muyao got.
It really wasn't Li Muyao's fault that she didn't know. She had never bought something like this in both lives, so she wouldn't know how these scratch cards worked.
Li Muyao still hadn't asked how much she got, but Color Hair and the shop owner had already taken her tickets and started counting. Color Hair even put his remaining twenty scratch cards in Li Muyao's hands. "Sister Yao, let us witness another miracle happen in front of our eyes."
Since Color Hair and the shop owner were shouting excitedly and loudly, people that walked by and those who were here to buy a lottery, also surrounded them.
After asking around, they knew that the pretty girl in front of the shop owner bought a hundred scratch cards today and she got prizes with different amounts of rewards from all of them.
"Seriously? I've bought scratch cards since it first launched, but I've never won anything. I didn't want to accept the results that time, so I bought at least a hundred tickets. However, I didn't even get one gold ingot."
"Is this a new trick the shop owner used to coax people into buying scratch cards, so he can get more customers?"
"It's true. I saw the shop owner counting together with that kid with colorful hair just now. Do you see that? The kid is holding scratch cards with gold ingots on all of them. There are even a few with four and five gold ingots!"
"F*ck! Seriously? How much will they get?"
"Go take a look at the entrance and see how much money different numbers of gold ingots correspond to. You'll know."
"So, everyone's standing around here right now to wait for this pretty lady, who has the blessing of the God of Wealth, to scratch the scratch cards again?"
"Yes, yes. These twenty tickets belong to that kid. They both bought a hundred. The boy has already scratched eighty of them but got nothing. He decided to let his sister, this pretty girl, scratch the remaining twenty for him."
"I think the chance is low. It's impossible they can get more!"
"I don't think it's possible either. I spend ten yuan for five of these tickets every day when I come to buy a scratch card, but I've never won even once."
"Just wait and see… Maybe this pretty girl has luck in money."
People who came afterward were still chatting and the onlookers in the front had already started screaming.
"Oh my God! She really got another. Two gold ingots!"
"Wow! Why is there a gold ingot again? Four!!"
"Another gold ingot…"
Twenty scratch cards were gone in just a few minutes.
Li Muyao was also a bit surprised herself, as she had never thought she would get rewards from another twenty scratch cards without missing one. She didn't get as many prizes from these twenty tickets as she did from her one hundred tickets, but there was at least one gold ingot on each of them.
Before Color Hair redeemed the prizes from the shop owner, the lottery buyers and onlookers around had all rushed to the shop owner to buy scratch cards.
"Boss, give me a hundred yuan of scratch cards quickly!"
"Boss, I want to buy fifty yuan of scratch cards."
"Boss, I want ten."
"I want thirty."
"I also want…"
Then, such a sight appeared in the lottery shop. The small shop was crowded with people. All of them were lowering their heads and scratching their scratch cards seriously. They kept murmuring with glitters of hope in their eyes.
"Gold ingot, gold ingot, gold ingot… Why didn't I get any?"
"Why isn't there even one gold ingot?"
"F*ck! I didn't even see the shadow of the gold ingots."
"Win, win, win, win. Let me get the blessing of the God of Wealth from that pretty girl. Please give me a gold ingot. I've only scratched five tickets, but none of them has a gold ingot. It's alright. There will always be one on the next ticket."
"Why aren't there any gold ingots?"
"Is it because I don't have luck in money? Is that why I didn't get one?"
"Ah, I didn't get any as well…"

The onlookers who walked by and got involved, and the old lottery buyers were all driven by Li Muyao and bought some scratch cards. After all, the scratch cards were cheap, only 2 yuan each.
However, nobody got any gold ingots after Li Muyao!
Everyone kept scratching as they opened their ears to listen to the conversation between the shop owner and the brother and sister.
"Boss, come and check us out. Sister Yao got three scratch cards with five gold ingots, six with four gold ingots, twelve with three gold ingots, thirty-two with two gold ingots, and forty-seven with one gold ingot.
"If we redeem all of them, we'll get a total of 13755 yuan.
"I have here one ticket with four gold ingots, ten with two gold ingots, and eleven with one gold ingot. They can redeem 645 yuan altogether.
"Right, if Sister Yao needs to pay the tax, deduct it from mine!"
When Color Hair reported the amount of money they got, everyone in the shop gasped. They couldn't believe that someone would truly be able to win more than ten thousand yuan of rewards by scratching scratch cards!
The shop owner was especially emotional. He knew how low the possibility of winning a lottery and getting a reward from a scratch card issued in the form of public welfare was. And today, he encountered a great God of Wealth!
"We're neighbors. I can afford the little amount of tax. Color Hair, your calculation is correct. Can I take a photo first? I'll then go to withdraw money from the bank. Can you wait for me for a few minutes?"
The lottery shop wasn't big and not many people came to buy lottery tickets. Although the shop owner could sell a couple hundred scratch cards like this every day, not a lot of them had won the grand prize. This was the first time the shop owner had ever encountered someone with super good fortune in money like Color Hair and Li Muyao, so the shop didn't have enough cash.
"Sure, we can wait here for you."
Color Hair and Li Muyao certainly had no problem with that. At first, they only wanted to come over and buy some scratch cards for fun today. They had never thought they would win the grand prizes.
That was completely out of their expectation!
When the shop owner was about to head out, the other lottery buyers stopped him. "Boss, don't go anywhere yet. Are you sure the girl and the boy really bought the scratch cards from your shop?
"Is this really not a show for us, so you can swindle us out of our money?"
Such a coincidence made these people think more. After all, everyone in the shop bought the scratch cards as well, but none of them won. On the other hand, Li Muyao got gold ingots on every single one of all one hundred scratch cards. This problem was way too glaring, wasn't it?
The shop owner certainly disagreed and was unhappy after people slandered him and doubted his credibility when doing business!
"My shop has been operating for more than ten years. I've never done anything to deceive anyone. If you don't trust me, you can call the police! Come on, pretty girl. Come here and pick one. Show everyone I didn't work with you guys to lie to them!"
"You're talking like I don't need to take my money out for them to redeem their prizes!"
The shop owner was furious. He had been running this lottery shop for more than a decade and today was the first time his customers got such a huge prize. He was even thinking of calling the headquarters after redeeming the prizes and getting himself some rewards.
However, these customers suspected him of manipulating the results, which truly made him enraged!
"You've misunderstood the shop owner. He really didn't work with us to deceive you. We really bought the scratch cards and scratched them one by one ourselves!" Li Muyao kept letting Color Hair talk to the shop owner because they knew each other and the shop owner wouldn't dare to welch on the money or cheat. And now, he was so generous that he didn't even charge them tax.
Li Muyao certainly had to step up and help the shop owner. Of course, she also wanted to verify if her guess was right.
Li Muyao took another ten yuan out and gave it to the shop owner. She then picked five scratch cards randomly from the box where everyone else got theirs from. In front of everyone's eyes, she started to scratch the tickets live.
All five of them had gold ingots without an exception. Although there were only two gold ingots, this was enough to astonish everyone around.
"See, I told you this pretty girl is lucky today. Fortune from the God of Wealth has fallen on her. She wins effortlessly no matter what she buys! How would I possibly lie to you? You just don't have the luck for money!" The shop owner praised Li Muyao so much that he almost took her to the entrance as a live advertisement.
Someone still couldn't believe it and he ran to Li Muyao. "Pretty girl, scratch this ticket for me. I bought twenty-five but didn't get any gold ingots at all after scratching twenty-four of them. Can you help me with the last one?'
Li Muyao took the ticket and scratched it with a coin!
"Argh!! I won two gold ingots! Boss, I trust you now. This pretty girl has truly been blessed by the God of Wealth."
After that customer tried it, the others also wanted to try it. While Li Muyao and Color Hair were waiting for the shop owner to withdraw money from the bank, Li Muyao scratched one ticket for everyone. Each of them had one or two gold ingots.
"Stop, stop, stop!! Sister Yao has already given each of you some luck for one of your scratch cards. Don't be too greedy!" Color Hair thought he and Sister Yao would never be able to get back to the salon if this continued.
Those people were really greedy. Sister Yao had already helped them scratch one ticket and they still wanted her to continue.
Not only that, some of them even wanted Sister Yao to choose some numbers for them to buy in a lottery. Did they really think Sister Yao was a pushover?
"I'm sorry, guys. I'm not entering a lottery. What happened today was just a coincidence. We work at Wanhua Beauty Salon just opposite this shop. If you want to get a haircut or shampoo your hair in the future, you can come to our shop. However, I'm afraid we can't help you with anything else."
After helping the others win consecutively, Li Muyao confirmed that she was indeed a bit lucky.
If it wasn't because these people were surrounding her, she would have truly bought a few tickets for the lottery draw to try it out.
And yet, Li Muyao knew that even good fortune had a limit. Luck was like time. The more she used, the less she had.
"Alright, alright, pretty girl, did you make any good investments recently? Or have you bought any financial products?" Some people still weren't willing to give up. They kept asking Li Muyao if there were other ways of making money, so they could follow her and benefit from her luck.
"You people are too greedy. However, Sister Yao recently bought stocks at the newly opened securities company right in the front. If you really want to benefit from her luck, you should go to ask the managers of the securities company. We invested in the companies the managers recommended and the stocks did rise a little lately.
"When you go there, tell them Color Hair introduced you. They'll surely recommend some good stocks to you."
After hearing what Color Hair said, the people around Li Muyao all came to Color Hair and asked for more details.
There was finally some space around Li Muyao and she was also relieved. She sighed in her heart silently. Countless people dreamt of becoming rich, taking shortcuts, and thinking about beautiful dreams where pies fell from the sky at any time!

After getting back to the salon, Li Muyao carried a bag of fruits and drinks up to the Beauty Department on the second floor. Color Hair also brought many fruits and drinks to everyone on the first floor.
"Muyao, did you really buy all these for everyone? That's quite expensive, right?"
Wu Lanqi knew how poor and stingy Li Muyao was.
Besides, they heard people say that Li Muyao's brother and sister-in-law came to make a scene and asked her for money again.
Li Muyao almost went crying to the manager to borrow money. In the end, Color Hair, the apprentice, generously lent fifty thousand yuan to Li Muyao!
"It's alright. I made a little bit of pocket money just now, so I bought some fruits and drinks back to thank everyone for always taking care of me." Li Muyao didn't take a cent from the ten thousand yuan she and Color Hair got when they went to buy lottery tickets at the opposite shop. She gave all the money to Color Hair.
Not only did Color Hair, the shop owner of the lottery shop, and all the new and old lottery buyers that witnessed the whole thing around the shop think that Li Muyao was lucky today, but even Li Muyao thought so herself.
Color Hair didn't want to take it at first, but when Li Muyao said it was to pay back the money she borrowed from him, he finally accepted it.
Color Hair wanted to buy some food for his colleagues with the money, so he naturally got some for Li Muyao as well.
"Muyao, I didn't know you have such a sophisticated side. Pretty good, pretty good.
"There will be an assessment this afternoon. Are you nervous?
"I heard that Manager Cai will come over later. Muyao, you're close to Color Hair, have you heard what Manager Cai wants us to do today?
"Or which part of the cosmetology knowledge is she going to ask us?"
Wu Lanqi had always felt like Li Muyao only thought about ways to make money. After all, Li Muyao had been working at Wanhua for more than six months, but Wu Lanqi had never eaten something Li Muyao bought. On the contrary, the others always bought something for Li Muyao and Wu Lanqi to eat, since they asked both of them to take their shifts from time to time.
Wu Lanqi didn't have much money, but she still bought some cheap candies back to the dorm for everyone. And yet, Li Muyao had never done that even once, which was why Wu Lanqi was a bit surprised.
However, Li Muyao's sudden generosity wasn't the thing Wu Lanqi cared about. Wu Lanqi wanted to know if Color Hair had told Li Muyao something about the assessment of the apprentices today since they had such a close relationship.
Wanhua Beauty Salon had requirements for their apprentices. They were assessed once every couple of months. Once they pass an assessment, their basic salary every month would increase by ten yuan. For example, the salaries of Lin Hong and the others were added up bit by bit like that. Since every time you passed an assessment represented that your beauty techniques and knowledge were enhanced, it also meant that your contribution to the salon had increased and you could make more money for the salon.
However, if you didn't pass the assessment, you couldn't get a raise. Even though your salary wouldn't be deducted, if you failed too many times, you might be fired.
Being a beautician was a kind of job where you had to be familiar with everything to your bones. With less work, you would have fewer chances to practice. If you weren't even familiar with your profession, how would you be able to make more money with it?
If you couldn't create value for the salon, there was no need for you to stay here.
"No! Sister Lanqi, Manager Cai must be assessing us for those things we learned from Miss Chen every day. It won't be too difficult. We both did pretty well the first three times. This time will be the same!"
Li Muyao had already confirmed that this wasn't her illusion. After Li Muyao did a facial for Wu Lanqi, Wu Lanqi's attitude towards Li Muyao had started to change a little bit. What Wu Lanqi said just then made it even more obvious.
She knew clearly that no matter how close Li Muyao and Color Hair were, they would never talk about the content of the assessment of the Beauty Department.
If Li Muyao and Wu Lanqi weren't alone in the resting room right now, Li Muyao would totally believe that Wu Lanqi was trying to destroy the relationship between her and the other apprentices, and Li Muyao had evidence as well.
"Hehe, the apple is so sweet. Thank you, Muyao." Wu Lanqi inexplicably thought that Li Muyao was speaking gently today, but she also seemed to hear a sense of rejection and warning. Was that an illusion?
Wu Lanqi finished eating the apple, then lowered her head and looked at Li Muyao with glittering eyes and a smile. "Muyao, can you choose to serve Manager Cai during the assessment later?
"I've already told Lin Hong and the others that I dare not do a facial treatment for Manager Cai.
"You're the bravest among all of us. You should do it for her. What do you think?"
Manager Cai would never be a "practice customer" during small assessments. She would only come in person when she had to eliminate beautician apprentices who didn't improve and didn't do well.
This was the reason why today's assessment made everyone so terrified.
After all, Wanhua Beauty Salon wasn't a charity. There was already no tuition fee for learning beauty knowledge and techniques, and they even paid them a salary. So, they would fire people who didn't work with their hearts and wanted to get paid for nothing.
Creak!
The door of the resting room opened. Lin Hong, who entered the room, apparently heard Wu Lanqi. She glanced at Wu Lanqi and put on a flattering smile on her face. "Right, right, Muyao. You'll be responsible for serving Manager Cai today!
"Let alone you being the most courageous, improve the fastest and have the most solid cosmetology knowledge among all the apprentices.
"You and Color Hair are like brother and sister. Even if you really don't perform well, Manager Cai wouldn't fire you as well."
That was right. Manager Cai was Color Hair's auntie. Oh, if Lin Hong didn't remind Li Muyao, she would have forgotten that Color Hairs' real name was Cai
Mao
.
Color Hair got his name, not because of his colorful punk hairstyle.
"Alright, if all of you don't want to serve Manager Cai, I'll do it."
In fact, even if Lin Hong and Wu Lanqi didn't come together to convince Li Muyao, Li Muyao also wanted to take the opportunity of the assessment to show people her real strength in cosmetology. It just had to be enough for Li Muyao to be promoted to the position of beautician quickly. Otherwise, it would be a waste of time for her to run to the first floor to shampoo people's hair from time to time every day.
More importantly, Li Muyao truly loved this industry. She still wanted to keep developing her career in cosmetology, but she was now just an apprentice and she didn't have any working experience. These two key points made it impossible for Li Muyao to serve customers directly.
The work experiences and qualifications of a beautician were very important.
After the three of them made a decision, they went to the beauty hall. The other apprentices, four beauticians including Chen Shuping, three customers who were willing to help with the assessment of the apprentices, and Manager Cai, were already waiting.
The beauticians and customers treated as "experimental subjects" were freely selected by the apprentices. In the end, Li Muyao and Manager Cai were left.
In the VIP beauty room, Manager Cai had already laid on the bed. After Li Muyao prepared warm water, wrapped Manager Cai's head and collar, and started doing the first step of face cleansing for Manager Cai, Manager Cai began to ask questions.
"What are the steps for morning skincare?"

Li Muyao was first shocked for a second, then she immediately answered. She was surprised that Manager Cai didn't ask any questions about the beauty profession, but asked about things related to skincare instead.
"First, clean your face with facial cleanser, then spray it with toner, apply the booster and massage the face for a minute. After your face absorbs it, gently apply the eye cream around the eyes. Close your eyes and circle your fingers around them softly. After that, start to apply the essence. When the essence is absorbed by the face slowly, apply the emulsion and day cream. Lastly, apply sunscreen or toning cream and it's done."
"What about evening skincare?"
"First, remove your make-up and clean your face with a facial cleanser. After that, you can exfoliate your face and do another cleansing facial again. When it's done, spray the toner directly and apply the booster. Then, you can put on a facial mask. During summer, choose a facial mask that moisturizes and whitens your skin, while in winter, choose one that moisturizes and removes pigment spots. It's best to use a facial mask twice or three times a week. You shouldn't use it too often or too little. After the facial mask, start applying eye cream, serum, emulsion, and night cream. Finally, apply a lip mask on the lips. They'll look especially moisturized when you put lipstick on the next day."
"How many times a week should you exfoliate your face?"
"Once a week for oily skin, once every other week for dry skin and combination skin, and once a month for sensitive, allergic skin."
"What kind of essence is generally used for people of my age?"
"Normally, people under 25 should use moisturizing essence, those between 25 to 30 should use anti-aging essence, and those older than 30 should use anti-wrinkle and firming essence."
"What are the basic techniques of beauty massage?"
"Pressing, wiping, rolling, finger pressing, compressing, pinching, tapping, kneading, and finally, vibrating."
"Use all these techniques on my face once."
"Sure, Manager Cai. Am I doing it strongly enough? Did I massage the acupuncture points accurately?"
"I've never expected an apprentice, who's only taken classes for seven months like you, to be able to use these techniques so accurately."
"What are the characteristics of massages for various types of skin?"
"Dry skin secretes very little sebum, so the pressing method is mainly used to stimulate sebum secretion, together with the use of a moisturizing massage cream with sufficient oil content. The total massage time is about fifteen to twenty minutes."
"Oily skin secretes a huge amount of sebum…"
Manager Cai asked questions as she listened to Li Muyao's answers to see if she was correct. At the same time, Li Muyao answered Manager Cai's questions and massaged Manager Cai's face using those techniques at her request.
After asking about facial care, Manager Cai also asked Li Muyao what else she learned. Knowing that Li Muyao had learned about eye care, neck care, and hand care, she requested Li Muyao to do all these few treatments for her.
The assessment should have finished in half an hour, but Li Muyao spent almost two hours here. In the end, Manager Cai thought the beauty techniques, beauty knowledge, and the position of beauty facial acupuncture points Li Muyao learned were all accurate and precise, comparable to the professional beauticians of the salon.
She had learned about beauty care, but what about body treatments?
The result was out of Manager Cai's expectation again. Li Muyao said she knew that too.
Since it was an assessment, Manager Cai wanted to see if this apprentice truly knew it or if she was just lying to make this manager happy.
So, Manager Cai experienced another round of neck care and back and waist treatment, comparable to those done by a beautician, under Li Muyao's hands. After everything ended, Manager Cai still hadn't given up. She continued to dig into Li Muyao's passion for cosmetology and see how much more she knew.
"For people with dry skin like me, do you have any other suggestions, apart from beauty care?"
"Yes, I can see from your skin at first sight that your sleeping quality isn't really good. You sleep late, smoke, and also drink. Beauticians like us all know that smoking, drinking, and staying up late make your skin rough and speed up the aging process of the skin. You should pay attention to your daily nutrient balance, eat food with high protein, vitamin A and fat, like milk, pig liver, egg, fish, mushroom, and pumpkin. Also, drink more water, eat more fruits, have sufficient sleep, and maintain a good mood."
"Hahaha, impressive indeed. You even have proficient 'face observation' skills. Not only can you use all kinds of beauty techniques skillfully, but you're also precise in your methods and operations for removing acne, blackheads, whiteheads, and fat granules."
"If I remember correctly, you've only been an apprentice in the salon for about seven months, right?"
"You should have learned about various types of treatments only with the beauticians in the last few months. They should not have taught you things like acne and blackhead removal and care yet, right?"
Manager Cai could be a manager because she had started learning about cosmetology since she was around fifteen and sixteen. She then became a beautician and had worked in the industry for more than a decade, until she became the manager of three salons right now. Two of the beauty salons were founded by Manager Cai and their business was much better than Wanhua.
Besides, Manager Cai only hired skilled beauticians for her two salons. In fact, she even served some major customers directly herself.
Manager Cai had superb and precise skills in beauty treatments, body treatments, and even aesthetic medical treatments. When assessing the basic beauty knowledge of apprentices, Manager Cai could already get the answer she wanted with a few questions, let alone experiencing it herself.
Manager Cai knew very clearly what level an apprentice should have after learning for a certain time!
And today, Li Muyao's skills, which totally went beyond the level of a professional beautician, made Manager Cai really shocked and a bit surprised at the same time!
"Yes, but I've read about them and I always borrow and study notes from my seniors like Lin Hong and the other girls. Also, I've taken some time off recently to go to other beauty salons. I pretended to be a customer and experienced their beauty treatments several times.
"During the experiences, I talked a lot with their beauticians.
"I also have the library card of Gaochun District Library. I like reading and I like cosmetology, so apart from learning and practicing in the salon, I look for books and magazines about beauty treatments, body treatments, make-ups, and aesthetic medicine to read as well.
"I feel that fashion styling is closely related to cosmetology. That's why I also learned things about beauty makeup and image design!"
Li Muyao knew Manager Cai was in awe of her improvement in beauty techniques, so every time Manager Cai asked a question, she answered seriously, showing the other skills she knew and how outstanding she was.
Humans! They were never afraid to show their excellence, skills, and ambition in front of their leaders anytime, anywhere.
For example, Li Muyao replaced makeup with beauty makeup.
And she replaced fashion styling with image design!
Every different phrase represented a completely different level of knowledge!
…
Knowledge of beauty and skincare comes from books!

Li Muyao needed a platform and opportunity right now, and Manager Cai was her biggest opportunity today. "If Manager Cai isn't in a hurry, I can do an everyday nude look for you."
Hearing beauty makeup and nude looks, Manager Cai was immediately interested. "Sure, let's see if you can do a unique make-up for me!"
Manager Cai and Li Muyao came out together while chatting happily, astonishing everyone who was waiting for Manager Cai to score the apprentices.
"Manager, the results of the assessment are in. Would you like to score the apprentices now or later?"
Chen Shuping had been eyeing the position of Deputy Manager at the salon for a long time. This was why every time Manager Cai came over, Chen Shuping always showed off her leadership skills and professionalism.
Indeed, Chen Shuping was the one with the most customers in the Beauty Department.
Besides, her disciple, Wu Lanqi, was very talented as well. Chen Shuping wanted to train Wu Lanqi into the kind of subordinate that was helpful and obedient.
Manager Cai first looked at Li Muyao and then nodded at Chen Shuping. "Okay, give me the assessment results evaluated by the beauticians and customers. I'll announce who's staying and who's leaving."
After hearing what Manager Cai said, everyone around immediately went silent and listened to Manager Cai's announcement one by one. She even gave an all-rounded criticism of the apprentices' flaws and deficiencies in professional beauty knowledge. The beauticians who led the apprentices were also criticized harshly by Manager Cai. The apprentices and beauticians all looked bad and were even a bit guilty and embarrassed.
In the end, she said, "Li Muyao, Wu Lanqi, and Lin Hong will be promoted to beautician trainees from now on. Teachers, please help them more and give them more attention.
"Muyao and Lanqi don't have to be shampoo girls on the first floor anymore and can be beauticians without worrying about anything.
"Alright, the eliminated apprentice, don't be too sad. In fact, it's good to know that you're not suitable for the beauty industry earlier. Then, we don't have to waste each other's time.
"Of course, you can be an apprentice at the Hairdressing Department on the first floor if you want."
"Manager, I understand why Lin Hong can be promoted to a beautician trainee but isn't it too quick for Lanqi and Li Muyao? They've only been here for seven months."
Right, when Chen Shuping evaluated Wu Lanqi, she gave Wu Lanqi a higher score than she deserved. Chen Shuping knew clearly in her heart how good Wu Lanqi actually was. She was not competent enough to be a beautician trainee.
"It's fine. Just let the three of them start today. Give them some of your customers. The beauty industry is like this. They need to communicate more with the customers, do more and practice the techniques more, so they can have more mature experiences.
"Okay, that's all!
"Li Muyao, come and do make-up for me. Let me see how your skills are."
How would Manager Cai not see what Chen Shuping wanted? And yet, in Manager Cai's perspective, it wasn't a big deal for Chen Shuping to have a bit of intention. It would be fine as long as she didn't affect the balance and profit of the salon. They had to have ambitions and desire to make good results in business!
"Yes, Manager."
Li Muyao had already seen the expressions of Chen Shuping, Lin Hong, and Wu Lanqi, while she kept acting like an obedient apprentice. The position of beautician trainee wasn't something Li Muyao wanted and expected, but one step at a time. She also had to achieve the results she wanted step by step.
Li Muyao and Manager Cai didn't go to the VIP beauty room this time but went to Manager Cai's office. It was more like a dressing room rather than an office. There were all sorts of cosmetics on the desk inside.
"Tell me what you use for doing make-up first."
Manager Cai sat in front of the mirror. She didn't let Li Muyao get to it right away and asked her some questions instead.
"We've just finished the skincare procedure. And now, we first use the primer, then the concealer, foundation, loose powder, eyebrow pencil, eyebrow mascara, eyeshadow primer, eyeshadow, eyeliner, eyelash curler, eyelash primer, mascara, shadowing powder, highlighter, blush, lip primer, lipstick." Li Muyao dictated all the steps of doing makeup from the beginning to the end at once, while her eyes observed the cosmetics on the table at the same time.
Li Muyao didn't have all of the cosmetics in the steps she mentioned right now, but she could still do the makeup she wanted.
"Manager Cai smiled. "I've never thought you'd be quite good at theoretical knowledge as well. Alright, let's see how strong your hands-on ability is. If you really do it well and get an outstanding result in the next assessment, I'll let you be the manager of my salon!"
Li Muyao stopped cleaning her hands with wet tissue and cracked a smile. "Thank you for the opportunity. I won't let you down!"
As expected, when Manager Cai let Li Muyao do her makeup, they seemed to be chatting casually, but everything they talked about was more or less related to beauty treatments, body treatments, fashion, and cosmetics brands.
Forty minutes later, Manager Cai appeared in the reception hall of the Beauty Department again with a nude look that made her look five or six years younger than she actually was. Chen Shuping was startled when she saw it and she instantly started flattering Manager Cai. "Manager, doesn't your makeup look too beautiful? You immediately seem even prettier and younger than usual.
"Your skin also looks fair and smooth. You don't seem to have make-up on at all.
"You look really gorgeous. If I were a man, I would definitely go after you right away!"
Everyone loved to hear nice words.
Manager Cai gave a beaming smile after hearing Chen Shuping's compliment. "I know, right? I also feel pretty today. Alright, stop complimenting me.
"Muyao did it for me. She's indeed a bit talented.
"From now on, if customers in the salon want to do make-up, introduce them to Muyao and let her serve them."
Alright, after Manager Cai said that, the small part of the business of the Beauty Department, which was doing makeup for customers, would directly be given to Li Muyao. Doing makeup for customers could earn them a 30% bonus and it only required a short time. If their makeup could satisfy the customers, they might come more often. One makeup cost eighty yuan and they could get a 30% bonus from it. It would not be a problem at all for them to do makeup for five or six customers a day!
"Manager, if we just let Li Muyao be in charge, wouldn't it be too…" Chen Shuping was a bit upset. She and another beautician were originally responsible for doing makeup, but none of them could take these customers now. They were directly taken by Li Muyao. Speaking only of the makeup jobs, the two of them could each get three thousand yuan a month if they split the earnings half-and-half.
And now, Li Muyao would be responsible for it alone. Her salary would immediately be raised from a few hundred yuan to five thousand yuan.
Of course, they earned more bonus if they worked more. Judging from the makeup on Manager Cai's face, Li Muyao's makeup skills were more than a few hundred times better than those of Chen Shuping and the other beautician.
"It's settled."
Manager Cai didn't like it when people disagreed with her. She was about to talk to Chen Shuping about the position of Deputy Manager when Color Hair brought a beauty upstairs and directly called Li Muyao. "Sister Yao, this pretty girl wants you to do beauty treatments for her!"

"Hi, Li Muyao. I'm here for a facial. Are you available now? My face suddenly has a lot of acne. Can you clear them for me?"
It wasn't just anyone who came. It was that kind, pretty girl, Yang Xin, whom Li Muyao met in the public toilet at the night market the first day she was reborn.
Li Muyao was a bit shocked. After all, she was just trying to find herself new customers out of habit.
Yang Xin really took it seriously and came to the salon to ask Li Muyao to help her do a facial.
"She's available!"
Chen Shuping replied quickly. Manager Cai told her that the next three months would be her probation period as the Deputy Manager. If she had great performances and managed the salon well to get higher turnovers and more customers, she would definitely be able to become the manager.
So, before Manager Cai and Li Muyao reacted and spoke, Chen Shuping had already agreed to the request and arranged everything for Li Muyao. "Muyao, take this beautiful lady to Room 7."
"Now that you're already a beautician, do it well. We trust your ability."
Chen Shuping intentionally left out the word "trainee." She was worried that the customer would have a bad impression of Li Muyao after hearing that word.
Manager Cai had so much confidence in Li Muyao, so Chen Shuping must establish a good relationship with Li Muyao, no matter how much she hated her.
The first step for a closer relationship was certainly to get more customers for Li Muyao. Then, Li Muyao's salary and bonus would increase. When she got more money, she would have a better attitude towards her teacher, Chen Shuping. Then, there would be a greater chance that Li Muyao would say something good about Chen Shuping in front of Manager Cai.
Li Muyao had no idea the appearance of Yang Xin would make Chen Shuping think so much.
Even if she knew, she would just smile indifferently.
"Alright, Manager Cai, I'll get to work first."
Li Muyao took Yang Xin directly to Room 7. Room 7 to Room 10 were all VIP rooms with a single bed, while Room 1 to Room 6 had two beds or three beds.
Customers from Room 7 onwards all spent more than a hundred thousand yuan, which was why they were regarded as VIP customers.
Since Manager Cai was still here and Li Muyao was a newly-promoted beautician trainee Manager Cai trusted, Chen Shuping hoped that Li Muyao could turn a new customer like Yang Xin into an official major customer who was willing to spend money. Of course, at the same time, Chen Shuping also wanted to see and test if Li Muyao's capability was truly that strong like Manager Cai said.
When Li Muyao led Yang Xin into Room 7, she went up and took Yang Xin's bag. "Let me put your bag on the counter. Pretty sister, would you like some water, drinks, or tea?"
"Oh? There are even drinks and tea? Do you have Sprite? I thought you didn't remember me. Hehe!"
Indeed, when Yang Xin saw Li Muyao's expression when they met, she went silent for a few seconds and thought Li Muyao had forgotten her, which made her feel a bit embarrassed and hesitant immediately. Luckily, Li Muyao was still the friendly, passionate, and cute little girl that she first met.
"How would I forget you? I still remember your name's Yang Xin. I remember."
"It's just that my manager and teacher were here, so I couldn't really talk to you. Lie down for a while first. I'll go get you a cup of Sprite. Do you want it cold or at room temperature?"
Li Muyao explained.
"Looks like you have a good memory. I want an iced Sprite, thank you!" Yang Xin had also been to beauty salons before, but she didn't go often. She came to Wanhua only because of Li Muyao's makeup skills.
Li Muyao soon came in with a cup of Sprite with two ice cubes and gave it to Yang Xin, who was sitting on the bed.
When Yang Xin finished the Sprite, Li Muyao was also prepared. After Yang Xin laid down and wrapped her hair, Li Muyao started chatting with Yang Xin in a gentle voice.
"Sister, do you usually do skincare at home?"
This was the first question a beautician asked every new customer to get to know more about her.
"Not really. I only remove my makeup, then spray some toner and put on some cream, just the simple things. Is my skin very dry?
"Do you feel the acne on my forehead?
"They suddenly came out two days ago. I've never had such things in the past. They're really annoying. I can't even cover them with a concealer!
"Do you know why I have acne?"
Under Li Muyao's facial techniques, Yang Xin answered every question Li Muyao asked comfortably and relaxingly.
"There are a lot of reasons for getting acne, including endocrine disorder, strong secretion of male hormones, sebum metabolism disorders, poor blood circulation, and pathogenic infections. Other causes may include too much stress, anxiety, lack of sleep, staying up late, eating oily or spicy food, smoking and drinking. These can all cause acne to grow suddenly.
"Also, there are obviously very heavy dark circles around your eyes. You must have slept less recently, right?"
After Li Muyao removed Yang Xin's makeup, she cleansed Yang Xin's face and started applying facial massage cream on it.
"Yes, I'll be honest with you. After we met in the public toilet last time, I went to beat my best friend and my boyfriend up. Then, I found my team leader and told him that the two of them stole products from the factory secretly in the past to earn extra money.
"That scumbag and the bitch were both fired by the factory right away!
"How pleasing!
"However, after feeling thrilled, I was still sad.
"I don't know if you've been through a breakup or not. Anyway, even after I took revenge on that shameless couple, I still felt hurt.
"I went to the bar to drink every night after work, but still couldn't sleep and could only fall asleep almost at dawn every day.
"If it wasn't that I started having acne on my forehead affecting my appearance, I might still be asleep.
"I remember you said that women can live without men, but we can't live without a beautiful look!"
Li Muyao indeed said this to Yang Xin back then, "Women can live without men, but we can't live without a beautiful look. When a woman has a pretty appearance, she'll be able to find all types of men!"
Yang Xin indeed caught her scumbag ex-boyfriend's attention that night with the makeup Li Muyao did for her. He said that he only loved Yang Xin and that her best friend was the one who seduced him. He just did the wrong thing because he had no choice and he wanted to get back together with Yang Xin. She made that scumbag say something so shameless by just putting on new makeup.
So, Yang Xin certainly believed every single word Li Muyao, this stranger, said and even thought Li Muyao was right as she continued thinking about it.
After all, humans judged others through visual appearance.
People stared at pretty things longer. So, when a man saw a gorgeous woman, he wouldn't even blink an eye!
After becoming beautiful, men would show up by just crooking a finger.
What happened to Yang Xin in the bar the last few days proved what Li Muyao said was completely correct.
"You're right. It's not necessary to make yourself suffer because of the scumbag and the b*tch. Pretty sister, your skin is a bit dry. I'll give you a facial massage with some moisturizing and whitening products."
"If you think the result of today's facial is good, I suggest you come again several times more and you'll be able to get a beauty card. After getting beauty treatments and sticking to the skincare procedure for a long time, your skin will become better. It will not look dry in the future and will return to a moisturized, smooth condition."
"From now on, your makeup will not crease or become cakey anymore even if you do makeup every day. You won't have things like acne as well."
"Also, after getting the beauty card, I can give you three makeup sessions for free!"

"Sure, when you finish the facial, do makeup for me. I'll see how it looks. If it looks good, I'll get the beauty card.
"But will you still be doing facial treatments for me after I get the beauty card?
"I feel particularly relaxed and comfortable when you cleanse my face. I'm a bit sleepy now."
Yang Xin had always been a person who liked to enjoy her life. She got a high salary each month and her family background was pretty good, so she didn't really care about the price of a beauty card. It was only the cost of a purse.
Yang Xin only cared about the results after finishing the facial, whether her dry skin could really be moisturized and whitened.
Besides, Yang Xin would be thrilled if she could learn some of the makeup techniques Li Muyao mentioned.
"As long as it's a beauty card from me, I'll serve you by myself. Pretty sister, if you feel sleepy, you can close your eyes to take a rest first. I'm going to put a facial mask on you as well.
"Oh right, we also have hand care treatments, which mainly exfoliate and moisturize your hands.
"After the treatment, your hands will be fairer and smoother. You won't get frostbites even in seasons with weather that's on and off.
"Hands are the second face of women. You can also do treatments for them if your financial condition allows it…"
After Li Muyao's introduction, Yang Xin quickly became interested. She closed her eyes and was planning to sleep for a while at this relaxing time. So, she also asked Li Muyao to do a hand treatment for her.
After completing the hand care treatment, it was time to take off the facial mask.
Yang Xin slept well and she even snored a bit.
Li Muyao didn't wake Yang Xin up right away. She first took off the face mask on Yang Xin's face, then took out the essential oil to massage her face. After a dozen minutes, she cleaned Yang Xin's face again.
Meanwhile, Yang Xin's hand masks were also done. Li Muyao washed the hand masks off and gently applied hand cream on Yang Xin's hands.
All the treatment items were almost done and Yang Xin also woke up.
"Gosh, I really fell asleep. I've only slept for forty minutes, but I feel like I've already been asleep for a few days. How comfortable!
"Li Muyao, did I snore just now?"
Yang Xin had never thought that after so many days of disturbed sleep, she would be able to sleep so comfortably on this small beauty bed. When she woke up, she felt very energetic. She felt truly relaxed as if she had slept for ten hours!
"No, you slept in a good posture. Since you're awake, I'll start picking the acne for you. It's going to hurt a bit. Is that okay?" If she didn't clear the little things like acne on her face, they would stay on her face for many days. When they turn white and she tries to take them out with her hands, marks would be left on her face.
As time passed, there would be more acne and more marks, and the color would get darker.
This would affect her appearance in particular.
"How painful will it be? I can take normal pain. Whatever. In order to become pretty, pain is nothing. Do it, Li Muyao!"
Yang Xin had tried to remove the pimples on her face before and it wasn't particularly painful. Thinking that acne was much smaller than pimples and that a beautician was doing it for her, she thought it shouldn't be too painful.
And yet, Yang Xin immediately had egg on her
face
!
"Argh!!! It hurts…
"Wuuu, how many more? It's really painful!
"It's too painful… I have so much acne on my forehead. Is there truly… no other painless method that can directly remove them?"
Yang Xin was in overwhelming pain. Tears were about to run out from the corners of her eyes.
"There is, but you don't really have a lot of acne. I just need to clear it and apply some special cream later. After a few days, the acne will automatically heal and will not appear again.
"The pain is only temporary. I'll be done soon. Hang in there!"
Li Muyao finished her job in Yang Xin's louder and louder cries.
"Pretty sister, how are you feeling now? Do you feel better? Take a look in the mirror. Does your skin look much more moisturized? And your hands also became fairer, right?
"Facial care and hand care are the same. The longer you do the treatments, the better your skin will be.
"You should start earlier, especially at your age.
"Look at my skin. Is it fair, smooth, and moisturized? I've only put some cream on my face. However, I do a facial once a week and use a moisturizing and whitening facial mask twice a week.
"If you nourish your skin earlier, its condition will be able to remain in the stage of that age in the future."
Li Muyao really didn't exaggerate on purpose because Yang Xin was a new customer. What she said was true.
People could see at first sight whether a woman had taken care of her skin or had done treatments to moisturize it frequently. Especially when a woman turned thirty, the condition of the skin would become more obvious, not to mention women who always stayed up late, smoked, and drank like Yang Xin.
Without taking good care of her skin, she would seem much older when sitting with her friends of the same age after a long time.
Besides, Yang Xin basically puts on makeup every day. If she didn't do skincare, her skin would look unbearably dry and rough after removing the makeup.
After hearing Li Muyao's bit-by-bit analysis, Yang Xin was indeed convinced, as what Li Muyao said was completely right. That was the biggest problem of Yang Xin's skin right now.
"No problem. Take your time to consider. The cream on your face is almost absorbed now. I can do makeup for you.
"What kind of makeup do you want?
"Japanese or Korean light makeup?
"Or sweet or wild heavy makeup?
"Or a pure nude look?"
Li Muyao saw that Yang Xin had already been convinced, so she began to give her less introduction and recommendations and started to talk about makeup, which Yang Xin was interested in. In the end, Yang Xin chose to do a pure nude look.
Another thirty minutes passed by. Li Muyao took Yang Xin, who had a beaming smile on her face, to the cashier of the Beauty Department. She said to Manager Cai, "Manager, Sister Yang Xin wants to get a facial and hand care annual card, both with moisturizing and whitening treatments. Also, she wants to buy a nighttime moisturizing and whitening facial care gift set.
"Oh right, I called the shots just now and gave Sister Yang Xin five free makeup cards."
"Sure, I'll prepare the cards later. Miss Yang Xin, can you come here to fill in the customer information form? Don't worry. We protect the information of our customers well. This information form is for us to have a better understanding of your skin condition. You can also use the beauty cards in our other salons when you get the beauty cards of Wanhua Beauty Salon."
Manager Cai had never thought that Li Muyao didn't only have proficient professional beauty techniques, but her ability to recommend treatments to customers was also great. Yang Xin's two annual cards and the gift set she bought were worth twenty-eight thousand yuan.
Indeed, after being promoted from an apprentice to a beautician trainee, Li Muyao was instantly more motivated in rushing towards "money."

Manager Cai soon finished preparing Yang Xin's beauty cards and gave her a box of five-piece moisturizing facial masks. She even sent Yang Xin downstairs in person. When Manager Cai returned, she complimented Li Muyao in front of the resting beauticians and apprentices and encouraged Li Muyao to keep it up and continue to boost business for the Beauty Department!
"Shuping, you're the Deputy Manager now. You must work more on improving sales performance.
"You can also give out free makeup discounts like Muyao. After all, Muyao's makeup skills are indeed pretty good. Our customers will certainly like it.
"All of you should learn from Muyao. Apart from working and going to school, read more books, like fashion magazines, magazines or newspapers about beauty, in your spare time.
"Don't say that there are no books. It will already be very useful if you can read the magazines our salon orders every month.
"As beauticians, knowing just beauty techniques is not enough. You also need to have a huge storage of knowledge. Otherwise, when your customers want to talk to you about something and you have no idea about it, how embarrassing would it be if you don't know what to say?
"How bored would that customer be when facing such a beautician?
"If I were that customer, I wouldn't be willing to come again.
"After all, I came to a beauty salon to relax, not only to relax my skin but also my body and mind.
"Customers don't just need corresponding beauty services from their beauticians, but also another type of physical and mental care.
"As a beauty teacher, you must tell your apprentices more about these things. That's the purpose of the service industry. When the customer is happy and satisfied, they'll be willing to pay for it or even spend countless amounts of money."
Manager Cai immediately gave everyone a lesson. She even emphasized again that the service industry was customer-oriented and beauty treatments were only extra services.
Making a customer comfortable, relaxed and happy physically and mentally was a very important thing.
"Also, starting from tonight, I'll be here at nine every night to teach you eyebrow tattooing, lip tattooing, and eyelash extensions. You can come to the study room to take my classes if you're interested.
"You can skip it as well if you're not interested.
"However, there's one thing I must tell you. You'll get a 20% bonus from the tattooing and eyelash extensions, which is much higher than any other services we have.
"If you want a higher salary, you'll have to learn well and work hard!"
People who come to a beauty salon to be an apprentice and become a beautician later on, all came for the high salary.
With a new service that had a high bonus, everyone was interested. We'll have to see who learns the best and the fastest.
Manager Cai left after announcing the time of the lesson. As the new Deputy Manager, Chen Shuping happily treated everyone to a meal.
The next day, Li Muyao had just finished serving a customer assigned to her by Chen Shuping. Color Hair suddenly came upstairs with a small gift box. He took Li Muyao into the staff resting room. "Sister Yao, this is a gift I got for you to congratulate you on becoming a beautician trainee.
"Hehe, Sister Yao, open it. Do you like it?"
Color Hair found out from his aunt that Sister Yao became a beautician trainee, so he immediately had an excuse to buy her a cell phone.
Besides, Color Hair took the ten thousand yuan Li Muyao won from the scratch cards and he felt a bit guilty. Although Li Muyao really owed Color Hair fifty thousand yuan and he still had the IOU.
Li Muyao won those lottery tickets with her good fortune. Color Hair knew Li Muyao very well. He knew that if he gave the money back to Sister Yao, she wouldn't accept it, so he would rather change it to something she needed.
After thinking about it, Sister Yao lacked a communication tool.
A cell phone, the latest Nokia slider phone with a small keyboard the same as the one of a computer.
Li Muyao thought Color Hair's eyes were indeed too bright today. She had no choice but to open the gift under Color Hair's anticipating gaze. Shockingly, it was a cell phone, the latest one with a keyboard that could be used to surf the Internet and could use
.
"Why are you giving me such an expensive cell phone?"
If Color Hair wasn't looking at Li Muyao with a pure and admiring glance like a fan looking at his idol, Li Muyao would have doubted that Color Hair had fallen in love with her.
"It's because Sister Yao became a beautician. Of course, I must give you a cell phone to celebrate! Besides, I used the money you earned from the scratch cards to buy this cell phone.
"Now that you have a cell phone, I'll be able to call you anytime when I get out, so you can bring me something good to eat.
"Your cell number is your birthday, 0815. Isn't it cool?
"Hehe, not only that. I also got you an eight-digit QQ number and the last four digits are also your birthday, 0815. I've already put the password here. You can directly login and change the password on your phone later on.
"Sister Yao, you have to accept the cell number and QQ number. I bought them.
Cell numbers and QQ numbers were usually free, however, the two sets of numbers Color Hair bought were different. They were birthdays and especially smooth ones.
Besides, Color Hair had a motive. He felt that a smart girl like Sister Yao would rise one day and would leave Wanhua sooner or later.
At that time, when Sister Yao has left the salon, Color Hair can still contact her directly.
Of course, Color Hair said this out on purpose, because he knew how valuable money was to Li Muyao. As long as it was something bought with money, she would treasure it more.
"Pfft! A big fool bought me a cell phone. How can I not accept it?
"Have you added your cell number and QQ number inside?"
Li Muyao indeed lacked a cell phone. Color Hair's gift was a God-sent, so she didn't act hypocritically and accepted it without hesitation, thinking that she must take Color Hair to earn more extra money in the future. With her extraordinary luck right now, that should be no problem.
"Yes, I also added you in a QQ group Manager Chen created. All of their customers are in there.
"Oh right, Manager Chen called me. He said that our stocks will probably be able to rise to 16 yuan next week. What should we do then?"
Color Hair indeed didn't care about stocks. However, Manager Chen had professional ethics. He really sent a text to Color Hair when the stock market opened and closed every day. Although Color Hair didn't really understand those things, he knew the stocks they bought had risen quite a lot at the moment.
But he still had no idea about this concept of "rising a lot".
"Sell them when they reach 16 yuan. Then, ask Manager Chen to recommend other stocks to us. We'll choose several from there. If we don't need money right now, we can put it in the stock market for a longer time."
It wasn't that Li Muyao was greedy. She just thought she should be able to make some money if she followed Manager Chen Qing to invest in the stock market.
Even without the divine stocks of Anxing Group and Lechang Technology, the others shouldn't be too bad as well. When Li Muyao got another recommended stock from Manager Chen again afterward, she could be certain that Manager Chen and Manager Liu truly had a super impressive ability to choose stocks, since she had an impression of the stocks they recommended every time!

"Okay, okay, Sister Yao. I heard my aunt say that your beauty techniques have had tremendous improvements lately and you've also been studying very hard, but I think for things like study and work, we better take it step by step. Don't tire out your body."
Color Hair remembered that Li Muyao always stayed in the Hairdressing Department till midnight after finishing work in the Beauty Department back then, in order to help customers shampoo their hair to earn more bonus. She might even sleep just five hours a day for that little bit of bonus.
"Don't worry. I'll take care of myself. I won't be polite then. I'll accept your cell phone. When I have a day off next time, I'll treat you to a big feast!
"I've become a beautician now. I'll earn quite a lot of bonus from now on."
She could already get a 10% bonus from the beauty cards Yang Xin applied for yesterday. Li Muyao was very confident in her ability to improve her performance. With one new customer, there would be more very soon.
"Alright, I'll listen to you. I'll go back to work then. Text me if you need anything. Don't worry about spending money. I've already put a lot of credit in your cell phone."
After giving the cell phone to Li Muyao, Color Hair finally went downstairs to work with peace of mind. He was also relieved that Li Muyao didn't offer to pay him back. If not, Color Hair would probably be embarrassed.
Lin Hong, who had been sitting by the side and watching everything, was so jealous her eyes turned red. She even made a barbed comment. "Tsk, being beautiful has its advantages.
"No wonder she can become a beautician trainee after being an apprentice for seven months!"
"Lin Hong, how can you talk about Muyao like that? It isn't Muyao's fault for being so pretty. Alright, don't be a hater there. This is Muyao and Color Hair's business.
"If you can't accept this, why don't you go to study your notes quickly?
"Don't forget that Muyao and I always covered for you in the past."
Wu Lanqi also heard Li Muyao and Color Hair's conversation and she was jealous of Li Muyao for getting the cell phone in her hands, but Wu Lanqi was still rational. After experiencing Li Muyao's beauty techniques, she knew the difference between her and Li Muyao. She wasn't sure since when, but the gap between her and Li Muyao had gotten bigger and bigger.
And now, Wu Lanqi became a beautician trainee with Li Muyao. She knew that it was probably because of her association with Li Muyao.
"Muyao, don't be mad at Lin Hong. She's always that straightforward. Didn't you say that Manager Cai talked about eyelash extension last night? Have you learned it already?
"Why don't you practice on my face? I don't have any customers right now."
Wu Lanqi didn't believe it. Last night was the first time everyone took Manager Cai's class on eyelash extension and the duration of the class wasn't long. It lasted just an hour and Manager Cai only did it for Deputy Manager, Chen Shuping, once.
Can she learn it after hearing and seeing it once?
Bullshit!
"Sister Lanqi, you're the only one who simply believes that Li Muyao can learn it in one hour. I think you must be more careful. You treat Li Muyao as a friend, but she only treats you as an experiment tool!" Lin Hong was even more upset after hearing Wu Lanqi hold Li Muyao up like that.
Li Muyao only knew how to take shortcuts. She fawned over Color Hair and Manager Cai. How shameless!
She didn't even let go of a little boy like Color Hair who was three years younger than her.
"Lin Hong, you've misunderstood Muyao. She's a nice person. Fine, let's not talk about it. Muyao, let's go. We'll go to the practice room. When everyone comes later, there will be no place for us."
Wu Lanqi said as she went up and pulled Li Muyao's hand. However, Li Muyao naturally avoided Wu Lanqi's hand and said with a smile, "Okay, thank you Sister Lanqi."
The Li Muyao of the past might not see what Wu Lanqi was trying to do just then.
But now?
Wu Lanqi seemed to be helping Li Muyao, but what she said in fact agreed with Lin Hong's claim about Li Muyao seducing Color Hair and she even created hatred against Li Muyao.
After all, they were all apprentices. Whoever learned better would naturally earn more money.
So, if they wanted to stand out among so many apprentices and have Manager Cai's liking, they must put some effort.
Manager Cai suddenly liked Li Muyao, who used to be nameless and only thought about money. She complimented Li Muyao constantly and even had a thought of taking Li Muyao to her own salon. How would the others possibly not be envious?
Wu Lanqi also had the same thought as Lin Hong. No, since Wu Lanqi was an apprentice that came in the same period as Li Muyao, she felt an even stronger psychological gap than Lin Hong did. And yet, with Wu Lanqi's age and experience, she managed the emotions on her face quite well. At least to Lin Hong, Wu Lanqi was a fool that kept defending Li Muyao.
"Oh, don't worry about it. We're good sisters." Wu Lanqi didn't know if she heard it wrong or if she thought too much. She felt like Li Muyao's "thank you" seemed to have a hint of other meanings.
Wu Lanqi didn't have time to think about it. Half an hour later, Li Muyao's ability gave her a huge blow again.
"Sister Lanqi, how are you feeling? It's not really painful, right? I wonder if Manager Cai has arrived today. It'll be better if I can ask her to come and take a look!" Li Muyao watched Wu Lanqi look at her much more beautiful self in the mirror with a ghastly expression.
Li Muyao smiled in her heart. Eyelash extension was indeed not easy.
She had to use some thin, small tools to plant the fake eyelashes onto the eyelids one by one, which was a very delicate procedure. It required great eyesight and a lot of concentration, but once she became proficient, it would be a very meaningful activity.
Li Muyao didn't wait for Wu Lanqi to give her comments on her work. When she was about to go out, Chen Shuping pushed open the door of the practice room. She immediately saw the eyelashes of Wu Lanqi, who was holding a mirror dumbfoundedly. "Oh my God! Li Muyao, did you do this for Wu Lanqi? It's perfect. It looks exactly like the eyelashes planted by Manager Cai.
"Right, the customer who came yesterday, Yang Xin, said she wants you to do eyelash extensions for her. Seeing this result, I don't have to worry about anything."
After seeing Li Muyao do eyelash extensions for Wu Lanqi successfully, Chen Shuping almost changed the way she looked at Li Muyao all of a sudden, as she now knows the reason why Manager Cai likes Li Muyao so much.
Li Muyao was a total talent in the beauty industry. She had only watched Manager Cai do eyelash extensions once, but had already learned it and could do it so perfectly.
Chen Shuping started to be angry with herself. She had the thought of going against Li Muyao only because she was too pretty… And because of her jealousy, she almost missed a talent, a great beautician who could make a lot of money for the beauty salon.
Chen Shuping told herself in her heart that she must treat Li Muyao better from now on. It would be best if they could be like sisters.
"Alright, I'll go serve her."

When Li Muyao came out, she saw Yang Xin sitting on the couch with three girls.
Seeing Li Muyao, Yang Xin instantly stood up and said with a smile, "I got the text your salon sent me, saying that you've launched a new eyelash extension service. If we come to do it within this week, we'll only be charged 199 yuan instead of the original price of 599 yuan, and we'll even get one more time for free. That's why I brought three of my friends here with me.
"Hehe, Li Muyao, you don't think I come too often, don't you?"
"Sister Xin, are you kidding me? You're helping me with business by bringing your friends here. I can't thank you enough. How would I think you come too often?
"I'll take you ladies to the beauty room first and I'll let you talk about your needs."
Li Muyao was indeed a bit surprised that Yang Xin would bring three friends here to help her today.
Li Muyao wasn't surprised at all that the salon would send text messages to customers to tell them about new services like eyelash extensions and all sorts of discounts the salon had launched. After all, all beauty salons worked like that. This was why the salon would create beauty records for customers on the computer. These records didn't only have the basic information of the customers, but also details about their skin condition and their thoughts on beauty.
With the contacts of the customers, the first ones to know about the new beauty services of the salon would certainly be the old customers.
"Sister Xin, don't you have work today?"
Li Muyao talked to Yang Xin with the tone of a good friend. While they were chatting, she even asked the three girls that came with Yang Xin what they wanted to drink and whether they wanted to have some snacks.
"Our working time was changed yesterday. We're working night shifts now. Since I got a message from your salon about the new promotion, I came together with my friends.
"Can I call you Muyao?" Yang Xin was lucky to have met a girl who fit her personality, so she certainly wanted to be more friendly.
"Of course! So, do you and these three pretty ladies want to do eyelash extensions right away or do some beauty treatments first? Sister Xin, since you've already done a facial yesterday, I don't recommend you do it today. You can do it again after a few more days.
"Give your skin a buffer period. However, you can do eyelash extensions.
"After getting eyelash extensions, you'll be able to easily create a nude look when you do makeup in the future. It'll look especially natural and beautiful." Li Muyao only had two hands, so she couldn't do it for four of them at the same time. The best solution was to do eyelash extensions for Yang Xin first, while the other three pretty ladies do facial or body care and treatment with the other beauticians.
When Yang Xin finished doing eyelash extensions, the girls could see the result as well.
Li Muyao was confident that the result would immediately make them fall in love with eyelash extensions.
Yang Xin talked to the three girls for a bit and nodded. "Okay, we'll do as you said. My three sisters will first experience a facial. When they see the result of my eyelash extensions, they'll decide if they want to do it or not.
"Right, can I use my beauty card for their facial treatments?"
"Sure, Sister Xin. Please wait here for a while. I'll ask the beauticians to come." Li Muyao went outside to find Chen Shuping and told her about the situation of Yang Xin and her friends. Chen Shuping immediately came in with Wu Lanqi and Lin Hong.
With the Deputy Manager, Chen Shuping, here, Wu Lanqi and Lin Hong performed well at first and even kept promoting beauty products to the two customers, making them a bit pissed. So, the two ladies started changing the subject and threw several questions at Lin Hong and Wu Lanqi, but they didn't know how to answer them at all.
Li Muyao, who was busy planting eyelashes for Yang Xin, helped them in the end.
Eyelash extensions didn't take a long time. After Li Muyao eventually found the feeling, she did it even faster. She completed the procedure in only twenty-six minutes.
The three girls were still doing their facial treatment and had not even put on facial masks.
They heard Yang Xin's scream of surprise.
"Oh my God!! These eyelashes look like real ones. They're too realistic and too beautiful!
"The long eyelashes I've always dreamt of really appeared on my eyes one day! They look gorgeous! Qin, Ling, Zhen, come here and take a look. Isn't this stunning?
"My eyes look so much bigger!"
Hearing Yang Xin's joyful call, her three good friends asked Chen Shuping and the beauticians to stop what they were doing and they all came in front of Yang Xin. One of them even reached out and touched it. She said in shock, "That's truly beautiful. They look much more natural than fake eyelashes. I love it.
"I also want eyelash extensions later.
"Oh right, how long do they last?
"Will it hurt?"
"They normally stay on for twenty to twenty-five days. After doing eyelash extensions, you can save the time for putting on false eyelashes and applying mascara.
"Do you see this? Sister Xin looks completely different with these long eyelashes right now."
Then, Li Muyao told them about the benefits of getting eyelash extensions and a few makeup techniques, making the three ladies very thrilled. One of them even couldn't wait and decided to let Li Muyao do eyelash extensions for her right away. She would go back to the facial mask after that.
Three hours later, Li Muyao led all three girls Yang Xin brought here to apply for a beauty annual card like Yang Xin did before they left.
In the next two weeks, Yang Xin and her friends talked to one another about how great the eyelash extensions and beauty treatments were. After they experienced everything under Li Muyao's hands, they either got a facial annual card or beauty and body annual card.
Li Muyao's performance this month had already surpassed the total performance of all the beauticians of the salon last month.
"Hey, Li Muyao, you've already got such a high performance. Why are you still working so hard?" Lin Hong couldn't understand it. Li Muyao had made over two hundred eighty thousand yuan for the salon and she would get twenty thousand yuan after taking the 10% bonus.
Just like that, Li Muyao was still the first to arrive at the salon and the last to leave. When she returned to the dorm, she was still holding and reading the notes Manager Cai gave her. That degree of seriousness was no worse than that of college entrance examination candidates.
Lin Hong was jealous of Li Muyao's sudden improvement in beauty techniques at first, but eventually, she found that Li Muyao rose because she worked really hard.
"Because I want to earn more money!"
If Li Muyao wanted to have her own business, she must learn everything. In her last life, she had already become a senior beautician manager.
However, Li Muyao's goal right now was to own a beauty salon.
Besides, Li Muyao wasn't only familiar with beauty treatments, skincare, body care, makeup, manicure, and aesthetic medical treatments. To open a large-scale all-rounded beauty salon, she needed a lot of money and skills that could convince people.

"Who doesn't want to make money? But you don't have to show off in front of so many of us, do you? Not everyone's as lucky as you are to be born with such a pretty face and be good at pleasing people."
Li Lili said to Li Muyao unkindly. From Li Lili's perspective, Li Muyao and Wu Lanqi were both new apprentices, but because Li Muyao was close to Color Hair at the Hairdressing Department on the first floor, Manager Cai promoted her to a beautician trainee first, while Li Lili herself wasn't included in the promotion list.
Also, on the day of the assessment, Manager Cai even brought Li Lili to the side and scolded her harshly.
Manager Cai said that if Li Lili failed the next assessment, she would be fired early, even if she had been an apprentice for three years and was about to become a beautician.
Manager Cai was very clear when she scolded Li Lili. She said Li Lili didn't take her work seriously, was always late or left early, didn't have enough professional beauty knowledge, wasn't careful enough when she worked, and had poor talent.
Li Lili almost cried back then. Manager Cai used Li Muyao to compare to Li Lili, so she immediately regarded Li Muyao as her enemy.
"Indeed, I was born pretty. I admit it! However, if you can't put in the most basic effort, sweat and dedication, you won't be able to make money, no matter how jealous you are of others."
Li Muyao had already known that when she showed part of her ability, some people would feel uncomfortable about it.
This was the difference between small beauty salons and large beauty salons. People here didn't work hard and had no ambition, and they wanted others to be like them. When someone you thought had the same Buddha-like mindset as you suddenly became someone you must look up to, you would feel uncomfortable and a serious imbalance and jealousy would appear at the same time.
In large beauty salons, from the moment you entered, the training for apprentices and ideas instilled into you was already different!
Since you are a mature beautician, your goal is to serve your customers and improve your performance at the same time. Ways of improving performance included enhancing your professional skills, caliber, and knowledge. Then, you'd naturally have a broader horizon.
How would people with a broad mind and horizon be truly jealous of someone stronger than them?
Maybe they would be envious, but most strong people would only encourage themselves to make themselves stronger, even surpassing the others.
It wouldn't be like the situation in Li Muyao's dorm. There were seven people in total and they had been living and working together for almost eight months. And yet, Li Muyao had been left out by everyone in the dorm since she officially became a beautician trainee two weeks ago. She was also treated with ridicule and had to listen to their insidious nonsense.
Li Muyao didn't want to waste her time talking to these people. She knew what she wanted and which step she must take.
To hop to another beauty salon, a beautician didn't only need superb skills, but also impressive performance!
An outstanding beautician was also an outstanding salesperson!
Li Muyao had always known that she couldn't stay at Wanhua Beauty Salon for long.
After seeing Li Muyao put away her notes and go to take a shower with her toiletries, Wu Lanqi comforted Li Lili with a soft voice, "Lili, don't be mad.
"Muyao is indeed capable right now. Manager Cai and Deputy Manager Chen both think highly of her. I suggest you not to offend her."
"After all, in the last two weeks, Muyao has already improved and broken the performance record of the entire salon all by herself.
"Besides, Muyao has been nice to us during this period. She gave us quite a lot of customers!"
It was fine until Wu Lanqi mentioned the customers Li Muyao gave them. Once she did, Li Lili almost exploded. "Bah! Who wants her customers? It'd be totally a misfortune to have to take over her customers. After using so much energy to do beauty treatments for her customers, we only get a 15% bonus. It'll be great for Li Muyao. She doesn't have to do anything and will be able to take away 5% of our bonus!"
Yes, beauty salons had strict rules for the distribution of bonuses. For example, A's customer brought another customer here and bought a beauty card from A. If A was too busy to serve so many customers, she could assign some of them to B. Then, A, who gave her customers to B, could still take a 5% bonus from the beauty card the customers got or the total earnings from the beauty products, sharing half of the bonus with B, who took over the customers.
She would take half of the money without doing anything!
That was certainly not easy to accept.
And yet, Li Lili and the others had forgotten that if Li Muyao's customer didn't introduce her friends here or without Li Muyao's eloquence, it was impossible for them to have so many customers. Then, they wouldn't even get 1% of the bonus, let alone the 5% they received after taking the customers over.
Also, the beauty cards Li Muyao's customers got cost at least fifty thousand yuan, so even a 5% bonus wasn't a small amount.
Not to mention it had only been two weeks.
After a longer time, Li Muyao would be capable of getting more customers. Every customer had at least three friends they were close with and those three friends also followed this three-friend relation pattern to continue developing, maintaining customer relationships easily and seriously.
Li Muyao didn't want to aim too high, but it would be easy for her to register twenty fifty-thousand yuan beauty cards in a month. In her previous life, Li Muyao's highest monthly turnover was as high as tens of millions. Of course, different beauty services had different prizes and all customers weren't the same.
Based on the development trend of Li Muyao's customers, it would indeed go this way as well.
However, no matter if it was Wu Lanqi, who used to be a close friend of Li Muyao, or Lin Hong and Li Lili, who had always looked down on Li Muyao, none of them could understand or could see the pattern, which was why they became jealous.
"Alright, stop it! Even if you scold Li Muyao, she'll still ignore you. What's the point of it?
"We should just admit that Li Muyao is lucky to have so many customers introducing her to new customers. We truly aren't capable of doing that!
"But to be honest, Li Muyao seems to have become luckier after she came back from her leave a month ago!
"I also heard from the shampoo girl downstairs that the fruits and drinks Li Muyao treated us a while back were bought with the money she and Color Hair won from the two-yuan scratch cards in the lottery shop opposite to the salon.
"No wonder the lottery shop is so popular recently. People must be going after the grand prizes, thinking they can win like Li Muyao did!
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that Li Muyao spent a hundred yuan at the lottery shop and won thirteen thousand yuan!" After hearing what Lin Hong said, everyone in the entire dorm went silent, as if someone had pressed the pause button.
"No way! Lin Hong, are you serious?" Wu Lanqi couldn't seem to find her own voice. Li Muyao spent a hundred yuan on the two-yuan scratch cards and won thirteen thousand yuan?
How was that possible?
Wu Lanqi had bought that kind of scratch card several times, but she had never won even once!

"Of course it's true. Haven't you heard any gossip about the lottery shop?" Everyone had already heard about the incident Lin Hong mentioned, but they had never thought that the person who won the prizes would be so close to them.
Besides, Li Muyao was too low-profile. She won more than ten thousand yuan, but there wasn't any news about it at all.
Wu Lanqi was a bit sad. She used to tell Li Muyao everything in the past.
Right now, Li Muyao's professional beauty skills and knowledge are continuously improving. Not only professional beauty knowledge, Li Muyao's customers and salary were also increasing.
It had only been twenty days. In less than one month, Li Muyao had already widened the gap between them so much.
"I've already heard about it. I just didn't think Li Muyao could hide it so well. In the past, I didn't think Li Muyao was a bad person, but now, I feel like she's hypocritical and pretentious!"
The jealousy on Li Lili's face was especially obvious and a few others also agreed with what she said.
"It's like we'd ask her to share the money with us. Why did she have to hide it? She just has better luck and is more beautiful. Bah! She may be seducing Color Hair now, but when Color Hair's bored with hanging out with her, he'll kick her away. By then, let's see how Li Muyao will cry." What Li Lili said immediately made the eyes of the others twinkle, but none of them replied to her.
If Li Muyao heard what Li Lili said, she would reply, "Being beautiful is truly impressive!"
The gap between Li Muyao and the apprentices was slowly appearing, but Li Muyao didn't have time to care about how they felt. She only followed her own steps and kept advancing with all of her heart.
At noon during lunchtime today, Color Hair ran upstairs again. "Sister Yao, Manager Chen from the securities company invited us for a meal. I promised him.
"Let's go. Going for lunch for half an hour won't affect your work."
"Muyao, you should go. It's okay to come back later. If your customers are here, I'll give you a call." Ever since Chen Shuping became the Deputy Manager, her attitude towards Li Muyao had become better day by day.
That was because Li Muyao had broken the highest turnover record since the salon opened after becoming a beautician trainee for just two weeks. She also got new customers every day. Who wouldn't like such a capable person?
As the Deputy Manager, if the beauticians Chen Shuping managed had better performances, she would also get more bonus.
For example, Li Muyao's performance in the first half of the month had reached two hundred thousand yuan and she could get a 10% bonus. Chen Shuping happened to have become the Deputy Manager half a month ago as well. Li Muyao used to be Chen Shuping's apprentice, so she was under Chen Shuping, the Deputy Manager. Then, Chen Shuping would be able to get 1% of the total earnings Li Muyao made.
Even though it was just 1%, it was definitely not a small amount after accumulating for a long time. Besides, this was just from Li Muyao alone. Chen Shuping had her basic salary as well, together with the 10% bonus she got from her customers and the 1% bonus from the earnings of the other beauticians. Ever since Chen Shuping became the Deputy Manager, her salary had risen from 4000 yuan to almost 9000 yuan in the last two weeks and 5000 yuan was the bonus from Li Muyao.
So, Chen Shuping was certainly willing to help someone who could make money for her!
"Thank you, Manager Chen. I'll go for lunch first."
With the help from the Deputy Manager, Chen Shuping, Li Muyao left with peace of mind. It was pretty good that Chen Shuping would call her whenever she had a customer.
Color Hair headed to the restaurant Manager Chen reserved with Li Muyao on a motorbike. When they entered the room, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng were already waiting. After Li Muyao and Color Hair sat down, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng attentively helped them wash their bowls, chopsticks, and spoons with warm water and poured tea for them.
"Pretty Muyao, this is the most popular red tea of this restaurant. I heard that girls like it a lot."
Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng had already seen that the boy, Color Hair, listened to everything Li Muyao said.
In the last couple of months, Color Hair was the one who communicated with them. Even though Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng suggested some stocks to them, they had never thought Li Muyao would be able to choose and buy two out of the six stocks they recommended and ask them to sell the stocks after three consecutive rises.
It had only been six weeks since Li Muyao and Color Hair opened an account to buy stocks at their securities company and truly started speculating in the stock market.
In the six weeks, Li Muyao's hundred thousand yuan had already increased by five times.
If the first time was luck, what about the second and third time?
So, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng had reason to doubt that Li Muyao actually knew stocks.
"Manager Chen, just call me Muyao. There's no need to add the word 'pretty.' I feel embarrassed hearing that. Is there a reason why you invited us to lunch?"
Li Muyao didn't think that after opening an account at Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng's securities company, they still needed to treat small customers like them to a meal to maintain relationships.
When Color Hair told Li Muyao that they wanted to treat them to a meal, Li Muyao did the math roughly. In the last month, they had made around five hundred thousand yuan.
Five hundred thousand yuan wasn't really a lot in a securities account. They might not even be regarded as mid-range customers.
"Yes, indeed, Muyao. Here's the thing. You and Color Hair are the premium customers of our securities company, so we hope you can take some time to join the charity event our company is organizing."
Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng looked at each other and started explaining what premium customers were to Li Muyao and Color Hair with a smile.
"Premium customers are those who have never made less than 200% profit in any stocks after opening an account for investment. For customers like you, you've already bought and sold stocks three times, and the stocks you chose every time made quite a lot of profit. The professional system of our headquarters analyzed the results and categorized you as premium customers.
"After becoming our premium customers, we'll always invite them to participate in the exchange gatherings for some premium customers organized by our company.
"This means that we gather some rich people and customers, who are courageous and professional in stocks, to join some activities together, so these customers can talk to one another and become friends. It's a sort of a platform for customers to expand connections and share information.
"Our charity events aren't something like the auctions on TV, but we go to orphanages to play games with the children there or to nursing homes to help the elderly shampoo their hair and trim their nails. As for donations or gifts, it's up to everyone.
"Our company organizes two large-scale events and five small-scale events like that every year.
"This time, it's a small-scale event. There won't be a lot of participants, only thirty premium customers from the Yang City branch. That's why we want to invite you to go and join in the fun. If you like it, you can continue to join our large-scale events."

After hearing Chen Qing's explanation, Li Muyao was a bit surprised. She never thought a securities company would organize such meaningful events, so she was indeed interested.
After Li Muyao asked them about the time and venue and asked if Color Hair wanted to go, she agreed to attend the event.
"We're certainly willing to participate in such a meaningful event. Besides, we'll have more than a week to prepare for it. We can adjust the time of our day-offs in advance."
"If we're going to a nursing home, we can borrow some hairdressing tools from the salon and bring them there." Color Hair had never participated in this kind of charity event. When Li Muyao told him about her feelings during and after participating in these events, Color Hair was also interested. He even thought about what hairdressing tools he should bring.
Color Hair thought he should ask Manager Tony what he needed to pay attention to when hairdressing the elderly later when he got back.
Right, he should bring some black hair dye as well.
"That'd be better. After all, you're professionals in hairdressing. I believe that the elderly will like you a lot." Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng were indeed professional securities managers. After treating Li Muyao and Color Hair to this meal, that little bit of distance between them was also gone. They asked Li Muyao and Color Hair to call them Brother Chen and Brother Liu directly.
When they were ready to pay, the waitress gave them the bill and asked if they needed the receipt.
Color Hair immediately nodded. "Yes, we need it, one that we can scrape for a prize. Brother Chen, can I have the receipt if you're buying?"
Nothing happened before the waitress asked if they needed the receipt. Once she mentioned it, Color Hair immediately thought about last night when he went to eat with his family, his father got the receipt but didn't win anything, and he then talked about Li Muyao winning more than ten thousand yuan at the lottery shop again.
Color Hair suddenly got excited when he heard he could have the receipt.
"Of course! The scratch card lottery at the lottery shop on our street was especially popular a while back. Do you want to try your luck on the receipt after hearing that someone spent a hundred yuan and won more than ten thousand yuan?"
They were all businesses on the same street, so they could know very quickly which shop was the most popular and what big or interesting incidents happened.
Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng had surely heard that someone spent a hundred yuan on the two-yuan scratch cards at the lottery shop and won thirteen thousand yuan.
For a lottery, winning thirteen thousand yuan wasn't a lot, but it was really rare for the two-yuan scratch cards, like a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
"Hahaha, yes! Brother Chen and Brother Liu, you'll never be able to guess that the person who won the prize you heard about is sitting right in front of you!" Color Hair said very excitedly. After winning the grand prize, Color Hair had only shown off in front of his family. He didn't even tell anyone in the salon.
Only lottery buyers, who witnessed Li Muyao win the prize that day, would talk to Color Hair when they went to shampoo their hair and get a haircut in the salon. Of course, they all ended up asking Color Hair if his sister had bought any other lottery recently or if she made any investment related to numbers.
"Was it you, Color Hair?" Liu Gucheng looked at Color Hair and Li Muyao. He thought that a cute girl like Li Muyao wouldn't go to buy lottery tickets, so it could only be Color Hair.
"Of course not. It was my Sister Yao! My Sister Yao has really good luck. When the waitress brings us the receipt, I'll let you see what it's like to have
carp
luck from the God of Wealth!"
The emotional and thrilled Color Hair had already taken out a fifty-cent coin from his wallet and put it in Li Muyao's hand. "Sister Yao, my parents said you have carp luck. You'll win another grand prize again later."
"At that time, we'll treat Brother Chen and Brother Liu to a meal!"
Li Muyao thought Color Hair was too cute. Although she also felt that she became much luckier after being reborn, she didn't think she could have such good fortune every time. She had wanted to buy a lottery ticket to try it out, but she had been busy lately, so she hadn't done that yet.
Of course, Li Muyao knew she couldn't be too greedy!
Li Muyao only imagined winning five million yuan in the lottery.
"Sure! If I win the prize, I certainly have to treat Brother Chen and Brother Liu to a big feast." Li Muyao truly thought Color Hair seemed more and more like her twin brothers. He was so gullible.
Color Hair took the receipt the waitress gave him and he quickly gave it to Li Muyao. He stood next to her as he rubbed his hands a bit nervously. "Sister Yao, scrape it slowly and gently. The receipt is fragile. You'll remove the words if you do it too hard.
"We can't be too excited and ruin the receipt."
Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng were affected by Color Hair's excitement and anxiousness. They also got up and walked to the back of Li Muyao and asked the waitress to wait for a while before leaving.
Li Muyao was also affected by Color Hair's excitement. She felt like she wasn't holding a fifty-cent coin, but a gold coin that was worth ten thousand yuan. When she started scraping the receipt, she really didn't use much force. She gently scraped it from side to side. After that, Li Muyao closed her eyes and dared not to see the result. She was worried that Color Hair would be disappointed.
"Does it say 'thank you for your patronage'?"
In her previous life, Li Muyao always went to eat with her colleagues as well. She might not have got a thousand receipts, but there were at least a hundred. And yet, she had never won a prize, so she didn't have much expectation this time.
Even though she really seemed to have gotten much better luck!
"This… This is really carp luck from the God of Wealth!!!"
When Chen Qing saw the words "fifty thousand yuan grand prize" and a string of numbers slowly appearing on the lottery area on the receipt, he stammered in shock. He looked as thrilled and astonished as Color Hair.
"F*ck! She really won! This is the first time I've seen someone winning a lottery… Oh no, Muyao, your luck is totally unbelievable!" Liu Gucheng immediately admired Li Muyao. He and Chen Qing had wondered before whether Li Muyao was purely lucky or if she really knew stocks.
The truth was right in front of them now. Li Muyao truly was a carp consecrated by the God of Wealth, as Color Hair said!
Li Muyao was truly lucky!!!
"Hahahaha, I told you Sister Yao is lucky. That's not ordinary good fortune! My dad said it's carp luck. I didn't get it before, but now, I think it's true!
"Hey, waitress, why are you still standing there? Ask your manager to come here now. We want to redeem our prize!!!
"Hehe, Brother Chen, Brother Liu, we can come here to eat again tomorrow. Don't reject us!" Color Hair was very optimistic. Whenever they spent two hundred yuan in this restaurant, they would get a receipt. Chen Qing paid 360 yuan just now and Li Muyao directly won the grand prize of fifty thousand yuan. If they come again tomorrow, they could try it once more.
With Sister Yao's carp luck, she might be able to win the grand prize again!
Let alone the fifty-thousand grand prize, it would be a good deal even if she won a free meal. The food in this restaurant tasted so good!

The restaurant manager came over with the invoice for the fifty thousand yuan grand prize. He took a deep breath and explained with a smile, "Congratulations on winning the grand prize. You're the first customer to win more than ten thousand yuan with the receipt of our restaurant.
"However, you can't redeem the prize at our restaurant. You need to redeem it at the State Taxation Administration with your proof of your identity and the winning invoice.
"Also, it'll be valid within 30 days from the date the invoice is issued."
"Then, we'll go to redeem it later. Sister Yao, you should treat us to a meal after winning, right?
"How about coming here again tomorrow?
"I like their food a lot. Brother Chen and Brother Liu can come too.
"Sister Yao, what do you think?" Color Hair had already made a decision before Li Muyao spoke. The food of this restaurant was indeed delicious and Color Hair liked it a lot.
It wasn't that Color Hair had no money himself, but since Sister Yao won the grand prize, he should come here with her to eat and nourish their bodies. He even invited Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng, killing many birds with one stone.
"Sure! Then, Brother Chen, Brother Liu, we'll meet here tomorrow on time. Manager, can we reserve this private room for tomorrow in advance?" Li Muyao was willing to fulfill Color Hair's small request.
Indeed, Li Muyao's gaze when she looked at Color Hair was a little loving. She treated him as well as she did her little brothers.
"Okay, we'll let Muyao treat us tomorrow." Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng nodded and agreed to come tomorrow. The restaurant manager also agreed to ask the waitress to keep the small room for them tomorrow.
However, nobody had thought that Li Muyao would indulge her brother Color Hair's waywardness like that.
For four consecutive days, Li Muyao treated them to meals at the restaurant. They tried all the dishes of the restaurant in the four meals in these four days. She also won prizes in all four days, one fifty thousand grand prize, two ten thousand first prizes, and one five thousand second prize.
On the fifth day, the manager of the restaurant served Li Muyao and the others in person.
"Thank you for choosing our restaurant. Today's meal is on us." If all the invoices in the restaurant weren't sent by the State Taxation Administration; and if they didn't see the cashier tear off each receipt and witness Li Muyao scratch it;
The manager and all the restaurant staff would have suspected that Li Muyao and the three of them brought fake invoices here to get the prizes and make trouble on purpose.
There were four receipts in four days and none of them was with no prize. They spent a total of 1500 yuan on the meals and each meal cost an average of 375 yuan, but they won 75000 yuan. Such a rate of return was amazing.
The restaurant manager even called the State Taxation Administration and asked them if it was easier to win the lottery on the receipts this year.
He then realized that the possibility of winning the prizes in the receipts was even lower than winning in a lottery. Normal people would only win five or ten yuan and there were also especially few of them.
Nobody won the grand prize on the first try like Li Muyao did. Even the smallest prize she got was the second prize.
"Manager, were you stunned by Sister Yao? Don't worry. We'll not ask for the receipt anymore after today. However, because of my Sister Yao, your restaurant's business improved, right?"
Color Hair wasn't a fool. On the contrary, he was very smart instead.
He wasn't really preying on Li Muyao's awesome luck. He truly liked the food of this restaurant.
Of course, Color Hair also wanted to test Li Muyao's luck.
He had never thought it would bring on such a huge fortune. Color Hair knew they couldn't come here again. If they continued the next time, they might encounter some problems when they went to the State Taxation Administration to redeem the prizes with the invoices.
So, Color Hair could understand the troubles of the restaurant manager and he knew that Sister Yao would be mad if he continued to act like that.
"Right, right, right! Thank you for bringing good fortune to our restaurant. Here are four VIP cards. You can have 20% off when you come to eat at our restaurant next time.
"Also, I hope that you won't ask for the receipt the next time you come!"
Normally, restaurants didn't like to give customers receipts. After all, when customers get the receipts, the reported tax will naturally be higher. However, this restaurant wasn't an ordinary one. They supported customers requesting receipts. They just accidentally encountered such a lucky customer like Li Muyao and they truly dared not to let them take receipts anymore.
So, he gave them the VIP cards.
They must know that customers had to spend or top up more than a hundred thousand yuan to get the VIP card of this restaurant.
Li Muyao smiled in embarrassment. "Alright, I won't ask for the receipt from now on. Sorry for scaring you, Manager!"
To be honest, Li Muyao was also stunned by her luck.
The first time might just be a coincidence, but what about the second and third times?
Li Muyao had no idea why she became so lucky after being reborn.
Would such good fortune have certain effects on her future?
Nobody knew these things.
However, there was one thing Li Muyao had always known. She couldn't be greedy!
Once she became greedy, her heart would change as well!
"No, no, it's just rare to have such a lucky customer like you! Enjoy the food, everyone. I'll leave you to your meal!" After the manager left and shut the door, Li Muyao was finally relieved.
She gave Color Hair a chicken drumstick, which he liked, with her chopsticks with a smile. "Are you happy now? You've tried all their dishes and you got their VIP card. We can go to another restaurant next time, right?"
"I'm sure am thrilled. Hehe, Sister Yao, you'll have to pay for my food this month!" Color Hair wouldn't feel embarrassed. Sister Yao was like his biological sister.
Li Muyao nodded and agreed. She then smiled at Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng. "We showed you something laughable, Brother Chen, Brother Liu. We'll meet at another restaurant next time."
At first, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng found it interesting when Color Hair showed off his sister's luck, but they never thought Li Muyao would truly be so lucky and win the grand prize.
They promised Color Hair that they would come to eat together if Li Muyao won the prize and would treat them.
In the last four consecutive days, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng witnessed the surprise and miracle every day. Their shocked and excited hearts also became a little numb. They had also tried to scrape the receipts themselves, but they didn't see anything other than "thank you for coming".
They still couldn't give up. The two of them secretly continued to come to the restaurant for dinner at night without Color Hair and Li Muyao and they kept taking the receipts for the prizes for another four days… The result was expectedly disappointing. They didn't even win the smallest five-yuan prize.
"Don't say that. We're the ones who benefited from your good fortune. Hehe, we truly believe it now. Muyao, you really have the carp luck Color Hair talked about."
They had to believe it after seeing it with their own eyes!
After they finished eating, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng returned to their office and sat opposite each other. They each made a cup of wolfberry tea and exclaimed at the same time, "Li Muyao is indeed the girl that big boss has eyes on. Her luck is truly impressive!"
"Such luck isn't just impressive. It's a bit against God's will. From the lottery shop to our stocks and the receipts in these four days, Li Muyao has already gotten almost a million yuan."
"She's simply the Carp God herself!"
They didn't know that this was only the tip of the iceberg. When they saw Li Muyao's name appearing on the billionaire list in the future, they would understand how lucky they were to have known this God of Wealth so early!

"Muyao, it'll be the Labor Day holidays in a few days. The Beauty Department will have some events. You might not be able to take leaves to have lunch and be late to work anymore." Chen Shuping immediately came up and talked to Li Muyao about the events in the salon when she saw Li Muyao finish her work.
Although Li Muyao came to work half an hour or an hour late the last few days after having lunch at noon, she still worked really hard for the rest of the time and was the busiest beautician in the entire Beauty Department.
Even so, Chen Shuping couldn't let Li Muyao have any special treatment again when the salon was having events.
"However, don't worry, Muyao. When the Labor Day events end, I'll give you two days off. What do you think?" Every beautician in the Beauty Department could have four days off a month, but they must not be on Saturdays, Sundays, or national holidays.
The service industry was mostly like that. When people were on holiday, it would be the busiest time for them.
Beauty salons were the same, let alone they were having promotions too. So, it was impossible for her to take a leave during the holidays.
"Okay, thank you, Manager Chen. Then, can I take a day off on May 16th and May 17th? That's Wednesday and Thursday."
Those two days were the days when the elderly care event organized by Chen Qing and his securities company was held.
"Sure! As long as you can reach last month's performance goal earlier during the promotion period, it'll totally be fine!" Even if Li Muyao couldn't fulfill the goal earlier by then, Chen Shuping wouldn't say anything.
It was already the end of the month and Li Muyao contributed to most of the turnover this month. Besides, the Deputy Manager, Chu Shuping, had calculated Li Muyao's bonus this month. Adding up the four services, including opening beauty annual cards for customers, doing eyelash extensions, eyebrow tattoo and makeup, Li Muyao's salary could reach almost sixty thousand yuan with the eight hundred yuan of basic salary.
Li Muyao had just become a beautician trainee in the second half of last month, but she had already made more than twenty thousand yuan.
"I'll try my best to reach the goal as soon as possible!"
After Li Muyao got the performance goal set by Chen Shuping, she started to promote to her customers with her way with words when serving customers.
Today was the time for Yang Xin to come to the salon to do beauty treatments again.
"Muyao, give me a shoulder and neck massage later and do cupping for me in the end. My shoulders are really uncomfortable after two days of overtime. Right, will there be promotions during the Labor Day holidays?"
After getting along with Li Muyao this past month, Yang Xin liked Li Muyao more and more.
So, Li Muyao didn't have to talk a lot in front of Yang Xin. Yang Xin would ask Li Muyao some questions about work, as she knew that she also had to put in some effort if she wanted someone to care about her.
The thing was, if she hadn't met Li Muyao back then, she wouldn't have been able to live so freely.
Also, after those girls Yang Xin introduced came to find Li Muyao for beauty treatments, Yang Xin had more common topics to talk about with them, which gave Yang Xin more convenience at work.
Yang Xin didn't care about these things in the past. After all, She had a good background and she naturally felt superior in front of her colleagues and friends, which caused her boyfriend to cheat on her with her best friend. After they betrayed Yang Xin, nobody told her about it, since many of them didn't like her.
It was different now. Yang Xin and the girls had common hobbies and topics. They even found that Yang Xin wasn't as difficult to communicate with as people said she was after becoming friends with her. She was only shy, but she treated people with sincerity and passion.
Even colleagues who weren't really close to Yang Xin would nod and smile at her when they saw her.
"Yes, the original price of the beauty annual card, which included facial, neck and shoulders, uterus, back, hand, and leg treatments, was 99999 yuan, and now, it's only 79999 yuan. I personally think doing a full-body skincare treatment and beauty and body care treatment once a week is pretty nice. I suggest you try it.
"A woman must love herself more, so she can be loved by others.
"Just like the eyelash extensions and semi-permanent eyebrow tattoos you did before, even if you don't do makeup every day, you'll still look very beautiful!
"External beauty really gives people a much better impression of you!"
After planting the long eyelashes and getting natural and delicate eyebrow tattoos, she didn't have to apply anything on her face. She only needed to put on lipstick and she would brighten up in front of people.
A nude look could fool the eyes of countless men!
"You're right. My friends and I like to put on casual light makeup now. We still put on heavy makeup when we go to a bar, but for the rest of the time, we mainly do light makeup.
"I heard from my friend before that the beauticians here all have a performance goal to fulfill. Have you got the requirement from your manager as well?
"Do you need my help?"
Yang Xin had just come with her friends the first few times. After that, their working times were different, so Yang Xin came by herself. And yet, she still introduced other colleagues to come to do beauty treatments or makeup as Yang Xin trusted Li Muyao a lot. All her colleagues served by Li Muyao got a beauty card.
After finishing the beauty treatments and seeing the results, they would all talk about it excitedly in the canteen at noon.
Everyone loved their prettier self and they wanted to recommend the others to do it as well.
Right now, Yang Xin's female colleagues with a similar position at the factory were basically all Li Muyao's customers. They had planted eyelashes and tattooed their eyebrows. They also learned some makeup techniques every time they came. After a few times, their makeup skills had become more proficient. If they mainly came to learn to do makeup with Li Muyao, Li Muyao didn't even charge them.
This was also one of the reasons why all of Yang Xin's friends liked Li Muyao.
"We do have performance goals. Of course, If you want to learn more about beauty-related services, you can come to find me during the Labor Day holidays. I can even ask our manager to give you more discounts.
"However, I don't need your help, Sister Xin. I hope that you can choose whatever's suitable for you.
"Right, Sister Xin, didn't you say that you invested in your cousin's shop last time? How's it going right now?"
Right, the last time Yang Xin came for beauty treatments, she asked for Li Muyao's opinion about something. She said that her cousin got married after graduating from college and got a divorce a while back because of some problems. After the divorce, her cousin wanted to open a shop, but she had no idea what kind of shop she should open. In the end, she chose to open a clothing shop and she invited Yang Xin to invest.
"We've already found a location for the shop and are ready to renovate it. I wrote a contract according to the suggestions you gave me. I'm only an investor anyway and I won't interfere with the business, so she's put in a hundred thousand and I've invested a hundred thousand. She will be responsible for managing the store, looking for a location, dealing with the renovation and purchases, hiring employees, and training the employees. She'll do all of these things herself, so she'll get 70% of the profit and I'll get 30%.
"This distracted her from the sadness after her divorce. My aunt called to thank me on the phone.
"To be honest, when our fashion store opens, I must thank you for your suggestions!"
Speaking of the clothing store Yang Xin was opening with her cousin, she had more things to talk about again.
