âThen, Iâll thank you in advance, Sister Xin. Your clothing store will surely have good business.â
Li Muyao had never worked in the fashion industry before, but she had no problem talking about it at all.
That was why she dared to give Yang Xin some helpful suggestions and some analysis on the positioning of the fashion customer base. Li Muyao had no idea if these resources could help Yang Xin. She only told Yang Xin the things she heard from a customer in her previous life.
However, she had never thought that Yang Xinâs cousin would be so quick. She had already found a location for the store after talking about it two weeks ago.
âHahaha, really? I love it when you say something nice like that! Donât worry. Iâll certainly bring you two major customers during the Labor Day holidays!â
People were like this sometimes. They knew that the outcome was unknown, but they still hoped to hear something good about it.
Just like Yang Xin right now.
It was also like when friends said âYou seem to be prettier today!â to one another every day they met. You knew that they were just saying that to make you happy, but youâd still laugh joyfully and show the truest smile.
To prepare for the events in the salon, Chen Shuping didnât only hire a few more apprentices and beauticians, she also asked Li Muyao to work overtime to teach Wu Lanqi and Lin Hong how to do eyelash extensions, as she was worried that there would be a lack of beauticians by then.
After learning for several days, Lin Hong was a bit impatient. She couldnât fulfill Li Muyaoâs requirements.
âLi Muyao, do you have any problems with me? Thatâs why you didnât let me pass. I did everything as you said. Why canât I plant the eyelashes?
âThey drop whenever I touch them.
âYou must have kept your tricks to yourself. Are you afraid weâd take your customers?
âLet me tell you, Li Muyao. Youâre truly selfish!â
They couldnât blame Li Muyao for getting angry. From their perspective, Li Muyao learned how to do eyelash extensions after just watching it once and it should also be easy for them to learn it as well, as they werenât stupid.
However, it had been more than a month since they had the class with Manager Cai. Watching Li Muyao earn bonuses with eyelash extensions, Lin Hong and Wu Lanqi had already been jealous to the extreme, let alone working hard to learn it. And yet, they really put in much more effort than they usually did.
These couple of days were also like that. Although their eyelash extension techniques had improved a lot, the eyelashes they planted still werenât as stable as the ones Li Muyao planted.
Doing eyelash extensions was originally a delicate procedure. The eyelashes planted could only last for around twenty days. However, the ones Lin Hong and Wu Lanqi planted just now might be gone as soon as strong winds blew.
They were extremely frustrated just thinking about it.
Lin Hong didnât learn it well, she didnât try to look for the reason in herself, but thought that her teacher, Li Muyao, wasnât teaching her well and didnât tell her the proper techniques on purpose.
âLin Hong, donât be angry. Iâm sure Muyao didnât do it intentionally and didnât want to teach us on purpose.
âI think we still canât grasp the points Muyao taught us. I thoroughly went through the steps and techniques Muyao told us just now. We seem to be missing something indeed.
âMuyao, donât be mad about Lin Hong speaking so brazenly.
âLin Hong is on her period. She canât control her anger.â
Wu Lanqi had similar thoughts as Lin Hong since the bonus for eyelash extensions was much higher. Apart from Manager Cai, there were only three people in the salon who could offer this service right now and Li Muyao occupied one-third of it.
The eyelashes could only last for a short period, around twenty days.
Customers, who got eyelash extensions and had enjoyed the beauty brought by the long and dense eyelashes, would basically insist and come to do it again when the eyelashes were almost gone.
Planting eyelashes was a repeated planting process. Even if the customers didnât do it every month, they would do it at least seven or eight times a year. They spent 599 yuan every time and the 20% bonus was 120 yuan. A beautician might not be able to do it for a lot of customers, but it was possible to do several.
Even when the price went down to 199 yuan during the promotion period and she could do five or six customers a day, the duration was as long as the time for a client to have a normal beauty and body treatment.
Thinking about it more carefully, Li Muyao did eyelash extensions for an average of eight customers a day in the last few days.
After calculating Muyaoâs bonus and salary this month, Wu Lanqi and Lin Hongâs hearts were no longer at peace!
âAre you done? If you are, keep going and widen your eyes. If not, youâll say that I didnât tell you the techniques when you do it in the wrong order. Iâve already told you not to mess up with the order of strong glue and gentle glue.
âYou didnât listen carefully and youâre now blaming everything on me. Youâre really something!â
Li Muyao didnât put up a kind expression for Lin Hong and Wu Lanqi at all, as she had heard enough of their sarcastic tone and jealous words lately. She created new performance records every day, so she knew that she wouldnât waste her time arguing or fighting with people like Lin Hong and Wu Lanqi.
But hearing that all the time, Li Muyao can also get furious!
She might be patient and thought that she didnât need to argue with two apprentices as a âteacherâ who was reborn from her last life. She only had to teach them seriously.
And yet, Li Muyao forgot that people had bad roots.
The more easygoing you were and the more you gave in, the further they pushed their luck!
They treated your kindness as your weakness!
âIâve already taught and told you all the knowledge and main points you need to pay attention to. If you canât learn it well, go to find our manager.
âI donât have an obligation to teach you. Donât always put up that jealous look. Itâs really ugly!
âIf youâre jealous of other people, why donât you practice your professional skills more? You always think about competing with me, because Iâm truly smarter than you and I know much more than you can imagine!
âI know how to do things you donât know!
âAnd Iâm better at things you know!
âSo, donât talk to me like that from now on. I donât want to waste my precious time on people who have great ambition but little talent like you.
âI make money with my own ability. Why do I have to let you incapable people talk to me with sarcasm?â
What Li Muyao said was very straightforward.
She almost tore the large paper hidden between her and Lin Hong and Wu Lanqi apart!
Li Muyao wasnât arrogant. She was indeed that capable.
And yet, how uncomfortable and upsetting would it be if she had to listen to the hateful words from Lin Hong, Wu Lanqi, and the other apprentices from time to time?
So, it was better for her to make it clear. You can be jealous of me and it isnât a problem if you continue to be like that!
But while you are jealous, please put in some effort and be professional.
Otherwise, donât blame me for looking down on you!
âYouâ¦â
âForget about it, Lin Hong. We should work hard together!â
Lin Hong was upset and she wanted to argue with Li Muyao again, but Wu Lanqi stopped her.
It wasnât that Wu Lanqi was scared of Li Muyao. She had truly listened to what Li Muyao said. Wu Lanqi and Lin Hong went against Li Muyao like that because they were indeed jealous.
And yet, this wasnât an excuse for not learning the techniques well. Rather than arguing for a long time, they should calm themselves and try to remember the main points and things they had to pay attention to, which Li Muyao had been repeating the last few days.
After all, one thing Li Muyao said was right. She indeed earned the bonus with her ability!
