Chapter 621 You have dirty hands and feet
"welcome!"
"Everyone is welcome."
Sun Weimeng stood at the door as a welcomer. He could be considered the third boss after all. Sofas and coffee tables were placed everywhere on the first floor, separated by screens.
A beautician was busy introducing the beauty salon's packages and services to the guests.
Almost all the well-known families in the capital are here, and there are also many wives of bosses 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 looked around and finally stopped.
"Sister-in-law, I knew the business was good. No woman can refuse whitening and scar removal, especially such an amazing product! It's a pity that my brother didn't make it to the ribbon-cutting ceremony. I don't know what he's been busy with lately, so secretive." Huo Sijiao smiled happily. Who would have thought that she could find a career she loved in the imperial capital.
Qiao Xijian was impressed by Huo Sijiao.
The layout and arrangement of the beauty salon were very thorough, without any mistakes. It turned out that my sister-in-law really had a talent for beauty. She was cheerful and lively and soon became friends with those rich ladies.
The beauty salon was crowded with customers.
Qiao Xi looked at the packed crowd with a smile in her eyes: "Are all the private rooms fully booked?"
"Of course not! These people are waiting for the box to be vacated."
As the aunt and sister-in-law were talking, a voice called them.
"Ms. Huo, Madam Huo."
At the main entrance, Ye Ying walked up to them with a flower basket and said softly, "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 scented tea. We are in a hurry to open the business, so please forgive us for any inconveniences."
Ye Ying shook her head: "I really like coming here, but I hope you guys don't think I come here too often in the future."
"How could that be!" Huo Sijiao said affectionately, "I'm looking forward to your coming. You're here to spend money. You sit down and chat with my sister-in-law 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.
"Ms. Ye, this way please."
"Thank you."
The two of them sat on the sofa, and Qiao Xi poured her a cup of warm flower tea. Ye Ying took a sip from the teacup, "It smells so good! I have never tasted such a special flower tea on the market, and my throat feels much better now."
"I specially prepared it. Take a pack with you when you go. Drinking it regularly can also beautify your skin."
Qiao Xi said with a smile.
Ye Ying looked at her and felt relieved. The Ye family did not owe her anything materially, but her stepmother always targeted her.
She never felt any warmth in that cold home and was always laughed at and ignored by outsiders.
She was brought up to be timid and shy, giving in at every step, and was bullied everywhere. Even her marriage was controlled by her stepmother, who wanted to marry her to the Wang family. Now that the Wang family has gone bankrupt, the stepmother has set her sights on Zhao Chang.
She said even Xiang Mingzhu could be with him, what is she being pretentious about!
"Thank you, Qiao Xi. Can I call you that?"
"Of course."
Qiao Xi took a few plates of snacks and placed them in front of her.
Ye Ying gently untied the turtleneck sweater around her neck and said unnaturally, "I apply the jade skin cream you prepared for me every day. Look at the color of these scars, have they faded? I was afraid I was seeing things this morning."
Qiao Xi came closer and took a closer look and said, "It has faded."
"Then take a photo for me. I keep a record every day. I want to record the process of my improvement. Watching these scars that have been with me for many years slowly fade away is an unforgettable experience. Qiao Xi, they will disappear, right?"
These scars seemed to represent her years of inferiority complex.
Only when the scars fade away will her inferiority complex go away.
Qiao Xi reached out and touched her ugly scar and said, "It's been a long time, it's hard to say whether it can be restored to its original state. But at least it can be much less. But God will not let down those who work hard, as long as you persist, miracles 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 find out that her life experience was even more difficult than hers. She seemed to have drawn 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.
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? When I went to the dressing room to change clothes, my 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, shouting loudly.
Her yelling could be heard even on the first floor.
The beautician whispered soothingly, trying to minimize the impact.
They must not call the police when opening for 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 has been equipped with surveillance cameras, and your necklace will definitely be found. I have 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's emotions.
But Mrs. Pei, who was dressed in jewels, didn't buy it at all.
"Just finding the things is enough? I can't swallow this! There must be a thief in your beauty salon!"
Mrs. Pei was carrying a shoulder bag, and her well-maintained face was full of anger, and she looked difficult to deal with.
Qiao Xi and Ye Ying downstairs said something and then quickly walked up the stairs, intending to come forward to solve 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 branch of the Pei family."
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 person in charge 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 is running a business, and everyone is a customer regardless of their status.
But the guest before me 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 held 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?"
