“Then, I’ll thank you in advance, Sister Xin. Your clothing store will surely have good business.”

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 Xin’s cousin would be so quick. She had already found a location for the store after talking about it two weeks ago.

“Hahaha, really? I love it when you say something nice like that! Don’t worry. I’ll certainly bring you two major customers during the Labor Day holidays!”

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 “You seem to be prettier today!” to one another every day they met. You knew that they were just saying that to make you happy, but you’d still laugh joyfully and show the truest smile.

To prepare for the events in the salon, Chen Shuping didn’t 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 couldn’t fulfill Li Muyao’s requirements.

“Li Muyao, do you have any problems with me? That’s why you didn’t let me pass. I did everything as you said. Why can’t I plant the eyelashes?

“They drop whenever I touch them.

“You must have kept your tricks to yourself. Are you afraid we’d take your customers?

“Let me tell you, Li Muyao. You’re truly selfish!”

They couldn’t 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 weren’t 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 weren’t 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 didn’t learn it well, she didn’t try to look for the reason in herself, but thought that her teacher, Li Muyao, wasn’t teaching her well and didn’t tell her the proper techniques on purpose.

“Lin Hong, don’t be angry. I’m sure Muyao didn’t do it intentionally and didn’t want to teach us on purpose.

“I think we still can’t 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.

“Muyao, don’t be mad about Lin Hong speaking so brazenly.

“Lin Hong is on her period. She can’t control her anger.”

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 didn’t 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 Muyao’s bonus and salary this month, Wu Lanqi and Lin Hong’s hearts were no longer at peace!

“Are you done? If you are, keep going and widen your eyes. If not, you’ll say that I didn’t tell you the techniques when you do it in the wrong order. I’ve already told you not to mess up with the order of strong glue and gentle glue.

“You didn’t listen carefully and you’re now blaming everything on me. You’re really something!”

Li Muyao didn’t 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 wouldn’t 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 didn’t need to argue with two apprentices as a “teacher” 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!

“I’ve already taught and told you all the knowledge and main points you need to pay attention to. If you can’t learn it well, go to find our manager.

“I don’t have an obligation to teach you. Don’t always put up that jealous look. It’s really ugly!

“If you’re jealous of other people, why don’t you practice your professional skills more? You always think about competing with me, because I’m truly smarter than you and I know much more than you can imagine!

“I know how to do things you don’t know!

“And I’m better at things you know!

“So, don’t talk to me like that from now on. I don’t want to waste my precious time on people who have great ambition but little talent like you.

“I make money with my own ability. Why do I have to let you incapable people talk to me with sarcasm?”

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 wasn’t 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 isn’t a problem if you continue to be like that!

But while you are jealous, please put in some effort and be professional.

Otherwise, don’t blame me for looking down on you!

“You…”

“Forget about it, Lin Hong. We should work hard together!”

Lin Hong was upset and she wanted to argue with Li Muyao again, but Wu Lanqi stopped her.

It wasn’t 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 wasn’t 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!
