Chapter 111: Suggestions and Warnings (1)
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The old Chinese saying is so true: Three women are enough for play.
Xiao Yan, Xiao Tian and A Yun were chattering so happily. Zhang Zian could not add in a single word. The discussion was either too difficult for him to understand or too naughty, so he had to pretend he didn’t understand.
It was an all-female beauty salon. It was extremely naughty in a man’s mind.
Xiao Tian and A Yun played jokes on Zhang Zian from time to time, which embarrassed him to death.
They were talking in the reception area where many people walked past time to time. Most customers walking by would say hello to Xiao Yan; She remembered almost everyone’s name. She was nodding and smiling at the other customers while still very engaged in the conversation with Xiao Tian and A Yun. Zhang Zian was amazed by how natural it was for her to handle all these people and make everyone one of them feel valued.
It takes luck to succeed. That luck is sometimes in the form of an opportunity. It takes talent and hard-work to turn the opportunity into success. Like Xiao Yan, if she was only good at what she did and could not handle relationships with her customers, she would not be as successful. Zhang Zian felt that today’s trip was worthwhile because he at least learned something from her.
A man, in which men were barely seen in the salon, and an extremely pretty, yet arrogant cat were all standing in the reception area. It attracted many pedestrians to slow down.
Women liked small pets, especially cats. A pretty cat with golden fur like Fina was meant to attract gazes.
Most females, from teenagers to wealthy ladies in their 50s, all slowed down to look at Fina. Some even started guessing her breed. Of course, no one could figure it out.
Fina was used to it. People have been admiring her for two thousand years. It wasn’t a big deal to her. Humans SHOULD admire her. But once someone tried to touch her, she showed her teeth and made a fierce noise to scare the girls away. After a while, they realized Fina didn’t really want to hurt them. As long as they gave her some space, they could look at her as much as they wish.
Many people started taking pictures of Fina. Some even tried various angles to take a selfie with her. Zhang Zian immediately warned those girls about the flash on their cell phone. The flash would make Fina angry.
There were too many people stuck at the reception area. Some staff members even stopped working and came to look at Fina. That was not good! Xiao Yan then told Zhang Zian, "Mr. Manager, let’s talk in my office."
Zhang Zian was daydreaming about those girls turning their interests in Fina to him…he woke up upon Xiao Yan’s suggestion and said, "Yeah, sure."
She said to Xiao Tian and A Yun, "It’s time for your appointments. Go enjoy your spa!"
Xiao Yun and A Yun looked at their watches. That was right! They couldn’t help but express their admiration. "Sister Xiao, do you have every customer’s schedule in your head?"
Half joking, Xiao Yan said, "Maybe I cheated and looked before you came?"
They laughed and went to the spa together.
"Come on. This way please," Xiao Yan said to Zhang Zian. She also turned around and gave the staff a hard look. The staff all went back to work.
"Let’s go, Fina," he said.
Fina stretched, jumped down from the couch lightly, and gave the receptionist a hard look. It was a powerful enough look that it scared the receptionist to death. She thought the boss was mean enough, but this cat was even worse!
Fina was with Cleopatra VII for a long time. She had the elegance and majesty from Cleopatra VII. Xiao Yan was nothing compared to the queen from her day.
There were two elevators in the salon. One was for customers and the other was for employees. Zhang Zian followed Xiaoyan into the employee elevator. Fina also jumped in, curious about this big metal box.
Xiao Yan simply explained her salon. The first level was for skin brightening, eyebrow art and nail art. There were sometimes weight loss courses. The second level was for the spa and such. The third level was for offices and more private areas. The higher up you went, the more luxurious it got.
Zhang Zian understood that she meant to tell him not to wander around on the third floor. He might run into a naked woman when he opened a door. Maybe she would have sex with me? Ha-ha; honestly, that lady might call the police instead.
电梯停在了三楼,门开了.
The elevator stopped at the third floor. The door opened.
The first and second floor both used shiny marble flooring and the third floor used dark red carpets.
It was really quiet.
The first floor was kind of noisy. He didn’t know about the second floor. The third floor was extremely quiet, like a five-star hotel. Along the hallway, all the doors had carved flowers on them and were all tightly closed. Some doors had a small badge on the handle. Some didn’t, depending whether or not there were guests inside.
The elevator was across from the office. Outside the office was a reception area. The receptionist was about 40 years old and very serious looking. When she saw Xiao Yan, she bowed slightly.
Xiao Yan nodded and walked straight to her office.
Zhang Zian followed and closed the door.
"Make yourself at home."
Behind the door, Xiao Yan looked like any other person. She put down her guard and sophistication and turned into a normal person, just like how she was when she went to the pet store the other day.
Her Dragon-Li cat, Rainy, was laying on the desk.
"You might be too embarrassed to ask but I can tell you that my salon only runs legal businesses. Nothing else." She brought out two drinks from the fridge and gave one to Zhang Zian.
Honestly, he was suspicious. The deeper things hide, the more interesting it gets.
"I believe you." He took the drink and said, "You have a great business. It is not necessary to do anything illegal."
Xiao Yan shook her head. "People always want more. You know, VIP customers are only 5% of my entire customer base, but they are 30% of the revenue and 50% of my net profit."
Zhang Zian was listening closely. He knew Xiao Yan was trying to lead him, and that was her experience to success.
She had him sit down, and she sat down on the couch across from him.
"Of course, I know nothing about the pet industry. Otherwise, it would not have taken me so long to find a good place to bathe Rainy. Since we are both in the 3rd industry, there are similarities between my business and yours." Her voice was soft and peaceful, which made her even more attractive than a normal business woman.
