Ha, still daring to show off! So stubborn. Xie Li is only responsive to gentle persuasion and won't fall for his tricks.
"...Anyway, complaining won't do any good."
Xie Li stopped in his tracks and turned around: "So, this place really is a rip-off, isn't it?"
The hairstylist didn't answer. "How about this? Today is my first day at work too. To compensate you for your loss, I'll halve the fee. It'll only be 668, okay?"
Xie Li said expressionlessly, "Your skills are only worth 668? And, even halved, it's 499."
"Deal! 499 it is then." The hairstylist smiled, as if they had reached an agreement.
Xie Li took a deep breath, repeatedly telling himself that hitting someone wouldn't solve anything. "I'd better go file a complaint."
"I told you complaining is useless..."
"I'll go to the Market Supervision Bureau." Xie Li said without turning his head. "If that doesn't work, the police station will do."
The hairstylist finally panicked, rushed out, and grabbed her in the hallway, "No, little girl, we can talk this over. How about this, I'll compensate you for this?"
He quickly shoved something into Xie Li's hand. Xie Li held it in his hand; it was made of metal, heavy, and cold to the touch, like an iron plaque.
She's from the countryside, may be naive and unsophisticated, but she's not stupid! They think they can fool her into paying an "IQ tax" with just this broken metal sign...
Xie Li sneered, clenching his fist and squeezing it hard. Uh… it didn't break?
The hairstylist looked at Xie Li's hand with horror in his eyes, "Fine, I'll give you a free meal, okay? It'll be free!"
Xie Li looked down at the iron plaque. It had an antique auspicious cloud pattern with the character "天" (heaven) in the middle. When he turned it over, the character "沉" (sink) was faintly visible on the back.
She thoughtfully squeezed the metal plaque; even after holding it in her hand for so long, it was still cool to the touch, clearly indicating it wasn't ordinary metal.
She was so engrossed in watching that she didn't notice the hairstylist's gaze passing over her, through the floor-to-ceiling windows on the third floor, and landing on the giant LED advertising screen in the mall across the street.
On the screen, a handsome young man smiled slightly, his peach blossom eyes incredibly gentle, his eyebrows and eyes exactly like those of the hairstylist.
The hairstylist's expression changed slightly. Seeing that Xie Li had no intention of pursuing the matter, he decisively left.
"I won't see you off, little sister, bye-bye!"
Since the meal was already free, Xie Li didn't bother to pursue the other party's responsibility.
However, "It really is a rip-off!"
Xie Li tugged at his short hair, feeling a bit of a headache.
She felt as if she were under some strange curse. When she was a child, her family was poor and they were afraid of spending money, so she was not allowed to grow her hair long. As she grew up, she found it difficult to grow her hair long for various reasons.
I finally grew my hair out over the past two years, but then I had a really bad time because I picked up someone on the street.
Just thinking about it makes me want to shut up.
Thinking too much is useless; she must save herself. Her eyes lit up when she looked at the traditional Chinese medicine clinic across the street!
By the way, the city has abundant resources, so she can definitely buy all the medicinal herbs there. She can then try to refine a hair growth potion to save herself!
——
At this moment, in a private room upstairs in the hair salon.
The "hairstyle director" removed his mask, revealing a face that looked exactly like a celebrity's on an LED advertising screen.
He leaned casually against the wall, propped up his long legs, and pulled out his phone from his pocket to make a call.
"Yes, I see my sister."
"I didn't dare to acknowledge her... My uncle's people have been keeping a close eye on me lately, insisting that I meet that girl surnamed Ming. Ugh."
He paused, then finally couldn't hold back any longer: "Why do I feel like there's something wrong with the Xie family? Their own young lady comes to the club for a haircut, and the assistant dares to stop her?"
"And what about that assistant? What kind of attitude was that? How dare he be sarcastic and bossy towards her?"
He was so angry when he saw Xie Shiyou looking so arrogant upstairs that his liver hurt.
