250% Luck
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!
