Chapter 124 Class Differences

Lin Jianyan smiled, turned around and took out an exquisitely shaped incense burner from the table next to him. At this moment, a few wisps of green smoke were rising from the incense burner and slowly dissipating in the air, as if carrying a magical power that could calm people down instantly.

He shook the incense burner gently and said, "A comfortable environment can relax people's minds, and the incense in this incense burner can also help."

Mrs. Wang's eyes were immediately drawn to the incense burner, with curiosity in her eyes. Seeing this, Lin Jianyan went on to explain, "There are several kinds of medicinal herbs in it that can calm the nerves."

"So that's how it is. No wonder I felt this smell so peaceful as soon as I came in and fell asleep without realizing it." Mrs. Wang nodded as if she had suddenly realized something.

She sniffed the faint dry and astringent smell of herbs in the air and asked, "Mr. Lin, what kinds of herbs do you have? I want to prepare some when I go back. My insomnia has been really tormenting me lately."

Lin Jianyan opened the lid and showed her what was inside. "These are some very common Chinese medicinal herbs, Polygala tenuifolia, Platycladus orientalis, and Albizzia julibrissin bark."

"You can find it in Chinese medicine stores, but I still recommend not to rely on incense for a long time. After all, it is a medicinal material, and medicine is three-quarters toxic."

"It's OK to use them occasionally to regulate your mind with their calming effect, but if you use them for a long time and in large quantities, it may have some adverse effects on your body."

Mrs. Wang: "Thanks for the reminder." As she spoke, she inadvertently looked up at the clock hanging on the wall. Her eyes widened in surprise, "It's already half past twelve. I actually slept for almost two hours?" She was a little unbelievable. She originally just wanted to take a short rest, but she didn't expect that such a long time had passed.

Lin Jianyan nodded: "Yes, I was a little worried when I saw you didn't come out at lunch time."

Mrs. Wang was getting herself ready while she said apologetically, "Oh, Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry for keeping you here for so long. I have to get back home right away. I didn't expect to be out for so long today. My husband might be waiting for me anxiously."

She casually pulled out a few banknotes from her pocket and stuffed them into Lin Jinyan's hand. "That little girl just waited in front of my door for a long time. She must have worked hard. Please pass these tips to her for me. I won't keep any more. Goodbye."

Lin Jinyan put it away, smiled and nodded: "I will, I thank you on her behalf."

"After the clothes are made, we will call you to try them on. If you are not satisfied with anything, you can tell us and we will help you modify it."

Mrs. Wang nodded, turned around and walked quickly towards the door. Her hurried figure soon disappeared from Lin Jianyan's sight.

Lin Jianyan looked at the banknotes in his hand, and saw that there were about seven or eight hundred at a glance. He raised his eyebrows slightly and thought to himself, "It's said that these rich ladies are very generous. As long as they are comfortable, they will spend a lot."

But Li Lu was indeed very responsible. She stood guard at the door for two hours without showing any dissatisfaction. The money was what she deserved.

After lunch, everyone came back one after another. When Lin Jianyan saw Li Lu coming back, he handed the money to her directly, "This is the tip that Mrs. Wang gave me just now. Since you were not here, she asked me to pass it on. She said you had worked hard to keep watch for such a long time."

Li Lu looked at the money handed over and took it without refusing. She then took out two hundred yuan and carefully put the rest into her pocket.

With a bright smile on her face, she shook the two hundred yuan in her hand, smiling playfully and cutely, and said loudly: "Let's share the happiness. I'll treat everyone to milk tea."

Since they were still on break, everyone was gathered in the living room chatting. When they heard her words, they all cheered:

"Okay! Thank you, Lu!"

"Thank you, Sister A-Lu!"

Lin Jianyan looked at Li Lu's generous and cheerful appearance, the corners of his mouth lifted unconsciously, his eyes full of praise.

He observed for two days and found that Li Lu was reliable and down-to-earth in her work, and was patient and considerate to others. Now, faced with this unexpected tip, she did not pocket it alone, but thought about sharing it with everyone. This kind of social etiquette is truly rare.

After everyone drank milk tea, it was soon time to go to work. Everyone tacitly ended their conversation during the break and returned to their respective posts.

I have two more guests to receive in the afternoon, one at 2 o'clock and the other at 3 o'clock.

Among the two, one was a noble lady who was about the same age as Mrs. Wang, probably around 40 years old, and the other was a younger lady, probably around 25 or 26 years old.

Like Mrs. Wang, they were surprised and curious about the layout and decoration here.

This time, Lin Jianyan did not call Zhang Yue again, but two others. Perhaps the two ladies were in a good mood and were served comfortably. After the measurements were taken, they were also rewarded with tips, although not much, but they were also very happy.

Everyone wants to serve these nobles, and the rule of rewarding them seems to be engraved in their genes.

They like to use money to solve everything. It's a kind of "You serve me, I won't let your hard work be in vain, I will give you hard work fees and buy the deal between us", with a sense of superiority and alienation.

The act of reward seems to be generous and magnanimous, but upon closer inspection, it always makes people feel as if there is an invisible veil that divides each other into different levels.

Just like what happened today when Mrs. Wang asked Lin Jianyan to pass the tip to Li Lu, although she had a smile on her face and her words were full of gratitude, the gesture that she inadvertently revealed seemed to silently declare her superior position. With a flick of the money, she froze this brief friendship into a pure money transaction.

But it's also good. People in the service industry especially like to serve these nobles. Although there are many things to do, they are really generous. If they are lucky and serve the people happily, the money that comes out of their fingers can be enough for them to eat for a month.

After Lin Jianyan received the last two guests of the day, he breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the sun setting outside.

End, go home.

…

Lin Jianyan didn't know that after the three ladies returned home, they promoted his studio to their friends.

They say it's like a castle, and staying inside is like being a princess. There are also theme rooms, and each room is decorated in a very creative way.

Mrs. Wang, in particular, told her friends that even if she couldn't get a spot, staying there for a while would purify her soul, which made several wives who had insomnia like her extremely curious.

Anyway, the rumor spread and became more and more intense. By the time Lin Jianyan found out, it was too late. Many ladies, girls and men had heard the outrageous rumor from somewhere and came to ask him every day whether he really had the ability to rejuvenate people.

Lin Jinyan: “…”

Later, Lin Jianyan strongly prohibited people without an appointment from entering. In addition, they knew that he was Qin Wu's man and not someone they could afford to offend, so they left in disappointment.

This prevented a farce caused by outrageous rumors.
