A small outburst would not hurt the relationship between the two of them, and it could also put a tight rein on Song Wenyin.

Not to mention, after suffering a setback in her relationship, Song Wenyin actively developed her career and was determined to build Jixiangtang into an international store. In order to increase the learning enthusiasm of Xiuqing, Xiulan and others, she also invited Olivia from her class.

There were foreigners coming to buy things before, but they were mostly received by Huang Wanzhen. When Huang Wanzhen was not around, no one dared to come forward. The foreigners would walk around and leave when they saw no one to receive them.

Today was different. Song Wenyin pulled Xiuqing over to Olivia and, after a babble of words, said to Xiuqing in Chinese, "Today, if you can sell anything, I'll double your commission."

Xiuqing looked at Olivia's green eyes and brown hair, and her lips began to tremble. "Hello."

Olivia smiled and replied, "Hello."

Xiuqing's whole body began to tremble with excitement. "Pa—" Song Wenyin patted her back vigorously. "Hold your head high and chest high. Cheer up."

“Yes!”

After Xiuqing finished speaking, she racked her brains but couldn't think of how to entertain the customers. Song Wenyin reminded her, "You can read from your notebook."

"Oh oh!" Xiuqing quickly took out the notebook from her pocket, turned to the sentence she wanted to find, and began to communicate with Olivia using simple English sentences. Fortunately, Olivia did not laugh at her strange pronunciation, but patiently listened to her explanation of soap and lipstick.

Olivia smiled and picked up a piece of soap and took out a colorful banknote. Xiuqing didn't know what it was and subconsciously looked at Song Wenyin.

"That's US dollars. Take it and give her a dollar in change." Song Wenyin lowered her head and thought for a moment. "Well, considering that the friendly talks between the two countries went very smoothly, you can give Olivia a small purse."

Xiuqing hurriedly did as she was told. Huang Wanzhen watched and laughed inwardly. It was so much like a drama rehearsal at school, and Song Wenyin was the one reading the narration.

Afterwards, Huang Wanzhen secretly asked Song Wenyin, "How much performance fee did you give Olivia?"

Song Wenyin proudly held up two fingers.

Huang Wanzhen raised an eyebrow, "Two dollars?"

"Two dumplings! Don't worry, she still wants to eat a lot more. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Huang Wanzhen was really impressed by her.

After not seeing him for a few days, he came back with a big box of jewelry. Huang Wanzhen opened her eyes wide and asked, "How much does this old one cost?"

"Haha, you got scammed, didn't you? These are all gold-plated and silver-plated. Olivia's family runs a fake jewelry store in Dong'an Market."

"My Linglong Pavilion Beauty Salon has always had those old customers, but some of them haven't come yet. If this continues, I'll lose all my customers. I was thinking of adding some more things, real gold and silver jewelry. We don't have that much money, but these are nice. Take a look at them, and if you like them, I'll buy more from Olivia's shop."

Huang Wanzhen took a closer look and found that although the pieces were not as fine as those in the jewelry store, the colors were very genuine. If you didn't touch them, you couldn't tell they were fake. "Okay! I'll go with you to choose."

Because Song Wenyin holds 40% of the shares of Linglong Pavilion, Huang Wanzhen usually doesn't pay much attention to its management. Now that Song Wenyin has become more serious about the business, Huang Wanzhen feels that it is time to make some adjustments. After all, Song Wenyin usually doesn't make such a clear distinction, which makes Huang Wanzhen seem too petty.

Huang Wanzhen reflected on herself and actively participated in Song Wenyin's grand plan. Not only did she pick out a lot of fashionable jewelry, she also went to cosmetics stores for several days in a row, selling both foreign and domestic brands.

The shelves in the store were filled with lipstick, nail polish, eyebrow pencil, eye shadow, white jade cream, vanishing cream, jade face cream, powder, soap, hair oil, hair spray, floral water, perfume, tooth powder, etc. Huang Wanzhen spent several days selecting and bought a lot of foreign and domestic brands. After trying them one by one at home, she found that the foreign brands were not as good as the ones in her store. However, there were some products that were not available in the store, so Huang Wanzhen planned to buy some back to use for the ladies in Linglong Pavilion Beauty Salon.

Huang Wanzhen took some time out of her busy schedule to give Xiuqing and the two little girls a few makeup lessons. Perhaps to avoid the nagging at home, Song Wenyin now stays in Jixiang Hall except for attending classes. She asks Xiuqing and the two little girls she recruited to dress up beautifully every day.

"You are providing beauty treatments for others, so you should first learn to groom yourself and recognize your own beauty. If you three are not good at applying facial masks and skincare, you can take turns doing it."

At this point, Huang Wanzhen interrupted, "I'll teach you how to make a honey and milk face mask later. From now on, you'll take turns buying milk from the street. You must use fresh ingredients for customers every day. If I find that it's spoiled, you'll be fired and never hired again."

Xiuqing had gained courage and looked better, but the two little girls were so scared that their faces turned pale. They kept praying in their hearts that the manager and the chairman would let them go as soon as possible.

Although Song Wenyin is not very old, her family's pressure to get married and her inability to find a suitable partner have had a great impact on her mood. She has turned to striving for perfection in everything she does and exudes a domineering attitude.

The tables, stools, and shelves in Linglong Pavilion's beauty salon were all rearranged. Even how to deal with customers and how to introduce new cosmetics were designed by Song Wenyin and Huang Wanzhen together, and then handed over to Xiuqing and the two little girls.

"Xiaoyan, stop hunching over all the time. It makes you look listless."

"Xiao Qi, why don't you put on makeup on your eyes? I told you to put on full makeup, full makeup. Don't you understand what I'm saying? If you keep doing this, I'll deduct your salary tomorrow."

Huang Wanzhen saw Song Wenyin's cold face, which frightened the two girls so much that they didn't dare to look up at her. She quickly pulled her out of Linglong Pavilion and said, "Alright, let's take it step by step. We've finally trained these two well. If you keep going like this, what will happen if they run away?"

Song Wenyin glanced inside with a look of disappointment. "Do you know how hard it is for women to find jobs these days? Even if you're just a high school graduate and don't have family to help you, you might not be able to find a job as good as ours on your own. No need to work, eight dollars a month, no need to worry about the weather. If you want to leave, go ahead. I'll hire two new people in a minute."

Song Wenyin and Huang Wanzhen are both very generous to their employees. Not only do they pay them high wages, but they also pay them monthly and never delay payment.

"Okay, okay, calm down. It's their fault. There's a coffee shop that just opened across the street. I'll take you there to try it."

"No, why drink coffee so late at night? Besides, there's still so much work to do. No, I have to go back."
