Chapter 322 The Growing Canary, Wild Monsters Refresh
It’s past 3 p.m.
Isha Beauty Salon (Huaiyun Road Branch) is gradually getting quieter.
Employees began to tidy up the beauty room and clean the public areas in an orderly manner.
In a beauty room on the west side of the second floor.
Sister Li carefully organized the skin care products and instruments, placing them neatly according to category and order of use.
"Sister, have you heard? Our beauty salon is going to launch a light medical beauty project. It seems that investors are visiting our store today. But the venue is so big, will part of the beauty room be abolished and converted into a treatment room?"
Yang Liu, a colleague next to him, lowered his voice and asked with some worry.
Sister Li nodded, "I only heard about it yesterday. It seems that the previous batch of beauticians who resigned was because of this incident. At that time, our big boss wanted to launch a pilot project in the Huaiyun Road branch to increase the number of light medical beauty treatments. Department, the beauty care supervisor was asked to have his performance reduced, and the other party quit in anger with several of his cronies. ”
She has very rich skills and work experience, and she was the top leader in Yizi Beauty Salon before.
If you really want to find a job, it’s actually very simple, but you don’t have to worry about losing your job.
“Oh, I know about this. Qianqian joined the company at that time, right?”
“Well, it happened more than two months ago. I don’t know how Qianqian is doing now.” Sister Li’s eyes showed a look of reminiscence.
Last year, she was the one who recruited Zhao Yaqian into the Yizi Beauty Salon.
The main reason is that they are fellow villagers, and she thinks the girl is honest and serious about her work.
Later, I ran away to Yisha Beauty Industry with a bucket, and I kept thinking about her, so I recruited her whenever I had the opportunity.
When she left her job, she persuaded him several times, but Zhao Yaqian was determined to leave.
She said her boyfriend had arranged it for her.
Yang Liu wiped the table, stood up and said: "Sister, I heard Weiwei and the others said that Qianqian's boyfriend is a rich, handsome man. Is this true or false? Why haven't I seen her on WeChat? "Have you seen it?"
"Of course it's true. I ordered a private dinner and durian mille for Qianqian, and drove Qianqian to pick her up from get off work."
"Then it's no wonder that people are leaving their jobs! In our profession, to put it bluntly, we are about serving people, and we really don't put on much effort." Yang Liu lamented, "Being pretty is an advantage. When I was at Yizi, many people liked Qianqian, and there were quite a few of them with money."
She is also an old man at Yizi Beauty Salon, and she used to be colleagues with Sister Li and Zhao Yaqian.
After Zhao Yaqian resigned, she was recommended by Sister Li and took over her position.
“We had a meal together before leaving her job, and she said that her boyfriend arranged a place to live and gave her living expenses, and wanted her to live happily.”
Yang Liu opened her mouth and lowered her voice: "I heard Wang Yan and the others said privately that Qianqian was being kept by someone else, and I don't know whether it was true or not."
She said it very euphemistically. The real rumors are far more exaggerated than this.
Zhao Yaqian didn’t stay at Yisha Beauty Salon for a long time, but she was particularly popular.
Especially her boyfriend, who drives a BMW, came to pick her up late at night and gave her an LV bag and a top-of-the-line iPhone 14 Pro.
But they were all envious.
Later, Zhao Yaqian left her job neatly, and a few Lemon Spirits started gossiping about it, which became the biggest topic of conversation during that period.
“Squeak——” The door of the beauty room was pushed open.
Senior beauty consultant Wei Ziyan walked in in a hurry, "You're done here, right? Go downstairs to help decorate and welcome us. Our boss will be here soon, and there will be investors later!"
Her tone was a bit aggressive, but neither Sister Li nor Yang Liu said anything.
Wei Ziyan is considered a middle-level leader and is indeed qualified to direct their work.
…
In the reception hall on the first floor, there are some exquisite and beautiful ornaments and hangings.
The marble tiles are visually discerning, and the crystal chandeliers are transparent and bright.
The tables, coffee tables, and front desks are decorated with colorful flowers.
The entire hall looks clean, tidy, elegant and fashionable.
Store manager Zhao Qiuli stood at the front desk in person, smiling.
Occasionally, one or two customers come in, and they can immediately feel the service attitude that is much more enthusiastic than before.
Sister Li and Yang Liu went downstairs and were both shocked by the battle.
He quickly lowered his head and went to the side hall to start working around.
After a few minutes, a few more beauticians who had finished their work came in.
Chatting quietly.
“Sister Yan, are the investors who are coming later going for light medical beauty transformation?”
“Does our beauty salon still need to recruit doctors and nurses? Then we can only start.”
“ Will our team of beauticians be reduced in size and salary? ”
…
It can help us develop and retain more customers.
And the profit and consumption frequency of the project are very high, which can bring more income to the beauty salon.
This is everyone’s opportunity. When the boss successfully gets the investment, everything will get better. ”
When others heard this, they quickly responded and breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, they are all senior beauticians and have worked in this industry for many years.
You can also vaguely feel the change in the direction of the wind.
Light medical beauty has less trauma, fast recovery and remarkable results, and is favored by more and more people.
Especially the younger generation of customers pay more attention to efficient and convenient beauty methods.
This is also the competitiveness of high-end chain beauty salons.
For example, many of their high-quality VIP customers have switched to other beauty salons for this reason.
Nowadays, investors are interested in their beauty salon, and the boss is willing to constantly update equipment and business. Generally speaking, it is a good thing.
After bragging with her colleagues for a while, Wang Yan glanced at Sister Li and the two next to her.
He smiled and said: "Sister Li, do you know what Zhao Yaqian's situation is now?"
"I don't know, I haven't had much contact recently."
Wang Yan said with a teasing look on her face: "She is just too young and impulsive. She will regret it sooner or later in the future. The work in our Isha Beauty Salon is not for anyone to come and leave whenever they want."
Sister Li was silent and her eyes were downcast.
Wang Yan is a relative of the store manager and an old employee, so it is inevitable that she will have a different accent when speaking and doing things.
In addition, the other party had had conflicts with Zhao Yaqian before, so this was obviously a deliberate attempt to stir up conversation and to gossip about Qianqian being kept.
Actually, to be honest, I am still jealous that someone who is young, beautiful and has long legs can find such an excellent boyfriend.
For this kind of people, just ignore them.
The other colleagues around me looked at each other and said nothing.
They have all eaten snacks and cakes sent by Zhao Yaqian’s boyfriend. In fact, they have a good relationship with Zhao Yaqian.
Seeing that no one agreed with her, Wang Yan looked a little embarrassed.
At this moment, waves of greetings sounded in the reception hall.
Everyone quickly cheered up and walked out quickly.
“Boss!” “Boss!” “Boss!”
A series of passionate voices.
Zhang Yurong, who was dressed formally and business-like, walked in and scanned the surrounding environment with sharp eyes.
Store manager Zhao Qiuli followed closely behind.
As the boss, Zhang Yurong is usually not in the store.
But her dignity and resoluteness are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Withdrawing his gaze, Zhang Yurong looked at his employees and began to talk about the next precautions.
She really likes Zhao Yaqian as an investor.
To be precise, in their industry, what they like most is this kind of high-net-worth individual investors.
This is why many beauty salons have "shareholder members".
And Zhao Yaqian is very simple and not too thoughtful.
It can make her worry a lot.
…
It’s 4 o’clock in the afternoon.
Zhang Yurong, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up, clapped her hands and said, "Get ready, cheer up and look your best to welcome our investors!"
The door of the beauty salon was opened.
A group of consultants and beauticians responded one after another and lined up in two lines consciously.
Standing straight, with a warm smile on his face.
Zhang Yurong straightened her long hair and stepped out of the door.
The employees couldn’t help but follow the boss and look out the door.
Less than two minutes passed.
Two black Maybachs drove slowly and stopped on the left side of the gate.
The car body shines with luxury and elegance under the sunlight.
Sister Li and Yang Liu, who were standing in the corner, could not help but be attracted to them, with curiosity and excitement in their eyes.
The sound of car doors opening sounded one after another.
Immediately afterwards, figures walked down from above.
There were a total of 6 people, both men and women. Most of them were wearing business suits and carrying briefcases, with upright and confident temperaments.
There is only one girl who is special, wearing a simple and elegant haute couture dress.
She has a tall and sexy figure, especially her long exposed legs, which are slender, white, plump and smooth, and very eye-catching.
Moving his eyes upward, a charming three-dimensional face appeared in front of him, with long burgundy hair with slight waves.
Overall, it looks fashionable and confident.
Sister Li and Yang Liu were stunned at the same time, looking at Zhao Yaqian who came out of the car in disbelief.
Sister Li’s hand pinched her thigh hard, and the clear pain made her quickly come to her senses, and her mouth opened slightly.
Although the figure and appearance are familiar, compared with the Qianqian in my impression, they are completely different.
The boss Zhang Yurong instantly showed a gentle smile and walked over to greet him.
He shook hands with the girl enthusiastically and pulled her towards the door.
Immediately afterwards, there were suppressed exclamations all around.
"Zhao Yaqian?" "Qianqian?" "Is this Qianqian?"...
Wang Yan, who was standing in the middle, trembled and her eyelids trembled.
I originally suspected that I was wrong, but the reactions of so many colleagues around me undoubtedly proved that it was true.
Zhao Yaqian? How did she become like this?
Looking at Zhang Yurong holding hands with her, a cold feeling rushed from the soles of her feet to her forehead.
Couldn’t she be the investor the boss mentioned? ?
The sound of footsteps and greetings broke into the door of the beauty salon.
All employees looked at Zhao Yaqian.
Shock, confusion, disbelief, surprise, anxiety, fear...
Quickly aware of the abnormality, Zhang Yurong frowned slightly and was about to say something.
Zhao Yaqian next to her paused, with a bright smile on her face.
Taking the initiative to wave to the corner, "It's been a long time since I saw Sister Li, and Sister Liu. I heard you came to Isa Beauty before."
Yang Liu was stunned in place, unable to react for a while.
She and Zhao Yaqian have only been separated for about four months.
In my impression, Qianqian is still a stupid girl with a loud voice. Although she is serious and down-to-earth in her work, she is very stupid in her talk.
In addition to her extremely young age, she was an assistant to the two beauticians in Yizi Beauty Salon.
However, Zhao Yaqian now wears high-end fashion, exquisite makeup, and eye-catching aura.
It brought a great shock to her heart.
Zhang Yurong took a deep breath, her eyes flickering.
The store manager next to her, Zhao Qiuli, quickly came to her ear and whispered a few words.
There was no suitable opportunity just now, and she was too frightened, so she didn’t tell her boss until now.
As the store manager, she reviews the entry and exit of every employee in the store.
So I always remember this long-legged beautician Qianqian.
Zhao Yaqian pursed her lips and chuckled, her eyebrows curved: "Sister Yurong, I never told you. In fact, I was an employee of Yisha Beauty before, and I left my job less than two months ago."
Returning to a familiar place, looking at the shocked expressions of her colleagues, she felt a little unavoidable.
This is probably what Xiaoxue said about returning home in fine clothes. Needless to say, it’s quite refreshing.
Next to her, Lin Muxue, who was wearing a shirt and hip-covering skirt, stepped forward and said softly: "Mr. Zhang, Qianqian has a good impression of Yisha Beauty, so she will give priority to your company."
"This..." Zhang Yurong used her hands. She squeezed it hard, and a bright smile instantly appeared on her face, "This is really a great fate. It seems that our cooperation is destined to be very smooth! On behalf of Isa Beauty, I also welcome Qianqian back!"
As she spoke, she raised her hands and clapped them.
Immediately afterwards, all employees applauded enthusiastically.
Follow Zhang Yurong towards the office area on the third floor.
Step on the stairs illuminated by the light strips and go up to the second floor.
Zhao Yaqian couldn't help but turn around and look at the spacious and bright hall downstairs.
In a familiar environment, there are familiar faces.
They were looking up at her in an unprecedented manner. Their eyes and expressions were so complicated that she couldn't tell whether they were happy or sad.
Her eyes paused on Wei Ziyan and Wang Yan.
The two of them turned pale and quickly lowered their heads, their nervousness palpable.
Zhao Yaqian stretched out her hand to hold the railing, feeling inexplicably agitated and full of emotions.
She actually has little experience, her understanding of human nature is hazy, and she doesn’t know how to speak well.
After graduating from high school, I took a break and went to the Excellence Technical School for training, and later worked in Yizi Beauty Salon.
Her life and experience are not twists and turns. The biggest problems she has encountered may be work and credit card bills.
This also creates a simple character.
Now that I look back on the past, I am surprised to find that there are many overlooked details.
Many things that I couldn’t understand before have now become clear.
Sometimes the transformation and growth of one’s character only occurs in a moment.
Just like the canary at this moment.
…
July 17, 2023, Monday, sunny, 24~37℃.
6 o’clock in the afternoon.
Normal University Teachers’ Apartment.
As the alarm on his cell phone rang, Tang Song let out a long sigh of relief, clipped the [Ginkgo Bookmark] and gently closed the book.
He leaned on the chair, closed his eyes and thought for a while, then stood up.
After more than two days of adapting, he no longer had the initial sense of urgency and entered an orderly state.
Get up, do morning exercises, eat, wash, study, rest, walk...
Everything is very healthy and regular.
After all, learning is a writing process that requires a lot of energy and effort.
Even with the combination of steamed buns and spicy strips, I still feel deeply tired.
And then it affects his normal life and status, which is not worth the gain.
What’s more, he still has the (aura of self-discipline) around him, so he needs to maintain a regular schedule in order to continuously increase his endurance.
Pushing open the master bedroom door, I happened to bump into my roommate coming out of the kitchen.
“Brother Song, are you done?” Qian Lele pointed to the dining table, “I brought today’s dinner from the school cafeteria. Millet porridge, five-spice pancakes, and radish pickles that I pickled myself. Try them, they are delicious.”
Tang Song nodded and took out the food. The phone said: "Thank you Lele, how much is it? I'll transfer it to you."
"No, no, no, it's not much money, it's not worth it."
"Then don't bring me food in the future, I'm embarrassed to eat and drink for free."
Looking at Tang Song’s serious gaze, Qian Lele whispered: “Two dollars and a half.”
“OK, turn it around and keep it.”
“Okay, Brother Song, received.”
Qian Lele bit his lower lip lightly, turned around and returned to the bedroom, starting to pack things.
Today is Monday. When I came back at around 5 pm, I found that Tang Song was still studying.
I asked with concern.
It was then that I learned that the other party would be studying in seclusion here in the past two weeks.
That means I won’t go to work.
This is obviously not normal.
Qian Lele couldn’t help but start to have random thoughts, thinking that Tang Song had encountered some setbacks in the workplace and temporarily lost his job.
That’s why it’s in this state.
She was kind-hearted and didn’t ask too many questions. She just wanted to help the other person in her own way and give some care and attention.
Just like when she encounters difficulties, she also longs for such a person to appear.
…
After saying goodbye to Tang and Song, Qian Lele went downstairs with his handbag and went straight to the pedestrian street outside the school.
Stopping at a familiar location, Qian Lele opened his handbag, took out a piece of light-colored cloth and spread it on the ground.
Place the bracelets neatly on them.
Then he placed the cardboard with the price next to it.
Soon, such a simple stall appeared in the corner of the bustling pedestrian street.
Because college students are on vacation, it’s a lot deserted here.
Fortunately, there are many residents and office workers around. In addition, the shops on both sides of the road are economical and affordable, and the passenger flow is relatively stable.
Occasionally, men and women coming and going stop to take a look.
"Hello, Lele, good evening." A voice sounded from the side.
Qian Lele raised her head and said with a smile: "Sister Wen, you are here."
She met this Sister Wen when she was setting up a stall.
My name is Zhang Wen, and he is an ordinary company clerk.
Although the work is easy, the salary is very low.
So every day after get off work, I would come here to set up a stall selling roasted starch sausage, which was like finding a side job.
Secure the camper and prop up the table.
Seasonings, equipment, and ingredients are arranged neatly one by one.
Zhang Wen put his phone away, watching TV series and preparing sausages.
Listening to the sound of fighting coming from the mobile phone, Qian Lele asked curiously: "Sister Wen, are you watching the new TV series "Listen to the Rain"?"
"Hmm." Zhang Wen's eyes sparkled, "This drama It’s the biggest dark horse this year. It’s so popular right now. It’s really exciting. I highly recommend it!”
"That's not the case! Bei Yuwei, the scheming female lead was completely brought to life by her, her charm far surpassed that of the male and female protagonists, and she is now extremely popular! She is a hot search on the Internet, and this drama is also called the best ancient puppet show in the past two years."
Then, Zhang Wen stopped watching the drama and started chatting with Qian Lele about gossip.
Bei Yuwei, who was born in the draft, was previously a tepid 18th-tier star. Last year, his agency was sold to Tang Zong Entertainment.
This year’s second female lead in the big-budget ancient puppet fairy drama “Listen to the Falling Rain” was originally designed to be a very troublesome character.
Unexpectedly, Bei Yuwei, with her superb appearance and acting skills, could act this role to life.
Clips about her have been widely edited and spread by self-media. Recently, she can be said to be one of the top celebrities on Douyin.
"I heard a few days ago that Bei Yuwei is coming to Yan Provincial TV Station to record a variety show. Our company is next to the TV building. Hehe, I wonder if there is a chance to see it in person."
"I wish Sister Wen good luck." Qian Lele said with a smile, and looked hopefully at the flow of people again.
Actually, I am not interested in these things because they are too far away from her.
She doesn’t follow dramas, doesn’t listen to music, and has no interest in celebrity artists.
What I desire most is to make money.
…
As night falls, the heat of the day gradually fades away.
Tang Song stood on the balcony of the living room and looked into the distance for a while.
I just wanted to go downstairs to the school for a walk to relieve my tired mind.
A white light suddenly flashed in front of my eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the system interface automatically appeared.
[The copy has been refreshed and entered the leisure and entertainment stage]
[The wild monster "piggy bank" has appeared]
[Special rewards will be obtained by defeating the wild monster]
Immediately afterwards, the dazzling 3D navigation appeared again.
In the sky not far away, there is an eye-catching piggy bank icon floating up and down.
You can still vaguely hear the "ding-dong-dang-dang" sound of coins colliding.
