Chapter 621: You Have Dirty Hands and Feet
"welcome!"
"Everyone is welcome."
Sun Weimeng stood at the door as a welcomer; he could at least be considered the third boss. Sofas and coffee tables were placed throughout the first floor, separated by screens.
A beautician was busy introducing the beauty salon's packages and services to the guests.
Almost all the famous families in the capital are here, and there are also many bosses' wives who want to use the beauty salon as a natural social venue to bring business to their families, which is also a social occasion for the ladies.
Huo Sijiao and Qiao Xi took a look around and finally stopped.
"Sister-in-law, I knew business was good. No woman can refuse whitening and scar removal, especially such an amazing product! It's a pity my brother didn't make it to the ribbon-cutting ceremony. I don't know what he's been busy with lately, he's so secretive." Huo Sijiao smiled happily. Who would have thought that she could find a career she loved in the imperial capital.
Qiao Xi was really impressed by Huo Sijiao.
The salon's layout and arrangements were meticulous, with not a single mistake missing. It turned out my sister-in-law was truly gifted in beauty, and with her cheerful and lively personality, she quickly became close friends with the wealthy and famous ladies.
Guests came in one after another and the beauty salon was packed with customers.
Qiao Xi looked at the packed crowd, a smile in her eyes: "Are all the private rooms full?"
"Of course not! These people downstairs are waiting for the box to be freed up."
As the aunt and sister-in-law were talking, a voice called out to them.
"Miss Huo, Madam Huo."
At the main entrance, Ye Ying walked up to them carrying a flower basket and whispered, "Congratulations on your grand opening. I wish your business will prosper."
As soon as Qiao Xi saw her, she thought of Zhong Yi. Her eyes twinkled as she said, "Thank you, Miss Ye. Please sit down and have a cup of floral tea. We opened the business in a hurry, so please forgive us for any inconvenience."
Ye Ying shook her head. "I really enjoy coming here. I just hope you don't mind me coming here too often."
"How could that be!" Huo Sijiao said affectionately, "I've been waiting for you to come. You're here to spend money. You and my sister-in-law can sit and chat first. I'll go out and help Sun Weimeng entertain the guests."
"good."
Ye Ying responded softly.
After watching Huo Sijiao leave, Qiao Xi led Ye Ying to a semi-enclosed rest area separated by a screen.
"Miss Ye, please come this way."
"Thanks."
The two of them sat on the sofa, and Qiao Xi poured her a cup of warm floral tea. Ye Ying took a sip from the cup and said, "It smells so good! I've never tasted such a special floral tea on the market. My throat feels much better now."
"I specially mixed it. Take a pack with you when you leave. Drinking it regularly can beautify your skin."
Qiao Xi said with a smile.
Ye Ying looked at her and felt relieved. The Ye family didn't owe her anything materially, but her stepmother always targeted her.
She never received warmth in that cold home and was always ridiculed and ignored by outsiders.
She was raised to be timid and shy, always giving in, leading to constant bullying. Even her marriage was dictated by her stepmother, who wanted her to marry into the Wang family. Now that the Wang family has gone bankrupt, her stepmother has her sights set on Zhao Chang.
She said even Xiang Mingzhu could be with him, why is she being so pretentious!
"Thank you, Qiao Xi. Can I call you that?"
"certainly."
Qiao Xi took a few plates of snacks and placed them in front of her.
Ye Ying gently pulled open the high-necked sweater around her neck and said unnaturally, "I apply the jade skin cream you prescribed for me every day. Can you see if the color of these scars has faded? I was afraid I was seeing things this morning."
Qiao Xi leaned in closer, took a closer look, and said, "It's faded."
"Then take a picture for me. I keep a record every day. I want to record my progress in getting better. Watching these scars that have haunted me for years slowly fade away is an unforgettable experience. Qiao Xi, they will disappear, right?"
These scars seemed to represent her inferiority complex over the years.
Only when the scars fade away will her inferiority complex be gone.
Qiao Xi reached out and touched her hideous scar and said, "It's been a long time, so it's hard to say whether it can be restored to its original state. But at least it has faded a lot. But God will not let down those who work hard. As long as you persist, a miracle may happen."
"Um!"
Ye Ying's eyes were filled with tears and she nodded heavily.
She went home and looked up Qiao Xi's story, only to discover that her life experience was even more difficult than hers. She seemed to draw inexplicable strength from Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi looked at her and smiled slowly. Her almond-shaped eyes, similar to Ye Ying's, curved like a crescent moon in the sky.
Just at this moment.
From the second floor came the sharp sounds of women arguing.
"My necklace was clearly placed aside, how come it's gone now? Are you guys at Furong bullying customers because of your size? While I was changing in the dressing room, a necklace worth hundreds of thousands of dollars disappeared! Call the police!"
A plump middle-aged woman carrying a shoulder bag was standing at the entrance of the corridor and talking loudly.
Her yelling and cursing could be heard even on the first floor.
The beautician whispered soothing words and tried to minimize the impact.
They must not call the police when opening their business today, otherwise people who don’t know the inside story might think that their beauty salon has done something wrong.
And it’s not auspicious!
"Mrs. Pei, please calm down. Our beauty salon is fully equipped with surveillance cameras, and your necklace will definitely be found. I've already arranged for someone to look for it in your private room, so please be patient."
Manager Zhao from the beauty salon patiently explained, trying to calm Mrs. Pei down.
But Mrs. Pei, who was dressed in jewels, didn't buy it at all.
"Just finding the thing? I can't swallow this! There must be a thief in your beauty salon!"
Mrs. Pei was carrying a handbag, and her well-maintained face was full of hostility, looking very difficult to deal with.
Qiao Xi and Ye Ying downstairs said something and quickly walked up the stairs, intending to come forward and resolve the matter. When Manager Zhao saw her coming, he hurriedly greeted her and whispered, "Miss Qiao, this is Mrs. Pei, the mother of Miss Pei Chun, a member of the Pei family's branch."
It turns out that she is not the serious Mrs. Pei.
Qiao Xi walked up to Mrs. Pei with a gentle smile on her face and greeted her.
"Hello, Mrs. Pei. I am Qiao Xi, the manager of Furong Beauty Salon. If you have any questions, let's sit down and talk over tea, okay?" Qiao Xi's attitude was very friendly and she was very humble.
She runs a business, and everyone is a customer regardless of their status.
But the guest before him was particularly difficult to reason with.
"You told me to sit down? Who do you think I am? That necklace is inlaid with South African blue diamonds and is worth 680,000. The people in your beauty salon stole my necklace! Who knows if you will cover up for me? I'm calling the police!"
Mrs. Pei was aggressive and took out her cell phone to call the police.
Qiao Xi reached out and grasped her wrist, stopping her from moving. "Mrs. Pei, let's talk it over. It's not appropriate for you to call the police on the day the beauty salon opens. I promise to give you a reasonable explanation. Okay?"
