“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.
