    “It’s not you. I just thought of a joke. Alright, let’s go down together.”


    Li Muyao immediately started tidying things up and put away all the skincare products the apprentices could use, then said to Wu Lanqi, who was still resting on the bed, “Sister Lanqi, I’ll go down to help first.”


    When there weren’t many customers in the beauty salon, the apprentices here were just handymen that did all the chores. However, when there were a lot of customers and the beauticians couldn’t serve them in time, they would ask their apprentices for help.


    Color Hair came to get Li Muyao in the morning when the Beauty Department was free and the Hairdressing Department was busy.


    Li Muyao and Wu Lanqi were the only ones who were willing to be shampoo girls downstairs.


    Since Color Hair came up and said Li Muyao’s name only, Wu Lanqi didn’t move.


    Wu Lanqi only replied with a soft sound. Li Muyao then followed Color Hair downstairs. Color Hair said a bit furiously, “Sister Yao, what’s wrong with Wu Lanqi?”


    “You talked to her so politely, but she didn’t even reply to you.”


    “I’m not mad, so why are you? Okay, let’s go to help quickly.”


    Li Muyao hit the back of Color Hair’s head, but of course not hardly.


    “You’re my Sister Yao. Whoever dislikes you must be blind. Right, Sister Yao, it’s really busy today. Go, go, go, let me take you to the customers.”


    The Hairdressing Department didn’t only have a shampooing area, there was also a haircutting area and a resting room for customers to wait for their turn. There were desks, a television, tea, water, and all kinds of drinks, newspapers, magazines, and the four great ssical novels of Chinese literature inside, so customers could wait and kill time without feeling bored.


    Color Hair brought Li Muyao into the resting room. “These two gentlemen have been waiting for ten minutes. Sister Yao, we’ll serve one each.” He then turned to the two gentlemen and said politely, “Sorry to keep you waiting.


    “Would you like to shampoo your hair only or would you need a haircut as well?


    “It is 15 yuan for standard shampooing, haircutting, and styling.


    “35 yuan for a Thai massage with shampooing, haircutting, and styling.


    “If you would like a European massage, ear-picking service, shampooing, haircutting, styling, and exclusive service from our senior hairdresser, it will cost at least 50 yuan.”


    Both of the customers look like businessmen, which is why Color Hair mentioned thest and the most expensive service.


    “Alright, we’ll enjoy the European package. You don’t have to talk to us in such a courteous manner. We’re both managers from Xinghong Securities opposite your salon. I’m Mr. Liu and he’s Mr. Chen.


    “We’ll be neighbors from now on and we’ll always meet. Of course, if any of you want to dabble in the stock market in the future,e find us.”


    Liu Gucheng looked at his friend, Chen Qing, then sized up the little girl behind Color Hair a bit. He then stopped gazing and started talking to Color Hair.


    “That’s right. We’ll be neighbors from now on. We can help each other out. Thank you for shampooing our hair.”


    Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng had great chemistry. The friendly smiles on their faces immediately made people feel like they were easy-going.


    Color Hair and Li Muyao brought Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng to the chairs at the shampooing area, each serving one of them.


    Li Muyao was responsible for Liu Gucheng. She brought two towels with her, one for wrapping the cor of his shirt from the back of his neck to prevent the water from running into the shirt when she washed his hair, and the other for covering the cor like a bib for a baby to avoid the shampooing water from identally flowing down from his face.


    Since the gentlemen chose the European package, they would certainly use the most expensive shampoo. Li Muyao first wet Liu Gucheng’s hair, then pumped arge amount of shampoo onto her palm, creating bubbles with her hand, and started washing Liu Gucheng’s hair.


    “Manager Liu, does your head feel itchy?”


    “A little.”


    “Okay, is this strong enough for you?”


    “You can do it a bit stronger. Use your fingertips and scratch harder.”


    “Sure.”


    Li Muyao only took eight minutes to shampoo Liu Gucheng’s hair. She cleaned his hair and wrapped it up. She then took out the massager Color Hair got for her just then, plugged it in, and set it on the lowest mode. “Manager Liu, does the vibration of the massager need to be stronger?”


    “No, thank you.”


    After Liu Gucheng feltfortable, Li Muyao didn’t take the initiative to talk to him anymore. She started listening to how Color Hair talked to Manager Chen Qing at her signal like a curious child.


    “Manager Chen, if we open an ount at your securitiespany, would you rmend us any stocks?”


    “If our customers want, we can rmend some stocks with a higher chance of winning. Of course, it’s none of our business whether they’ll buy them or if the stocks fall or rise.”


    “That I can understand. It’s like a matchmaker only introduces people to you, but doesn’t help you deliver your child. So, how much money do we need to open an ount at your securitiespany?”


    “A thousand yuan will do. If you want to buy some cheap stocks, you can do so with a thousand yuan.”


    “Um? I don’t really understand. Can you exin it for me?”


    “Sure. For example, the stock of Anxing Group is now 4 yuan per share, right? So, with a thousand yuan, you’ll be able to buy two hundred shares and you have to buy a minimum of a hundred shares.”


    “In our jargon, it’s called a round lot.”


    “One round lot is a hundred shares.”


    “That sounds pretty nice. If the stock drops, will I be losing money?”


    “Buying a stock that has fallen is not a loss. As long as you don’t sell it and still have it in hand, you aren’t at a loss. It’s just that you’ll take longer to earn money.


    “After all, all stocks go up and down. If it drops today, it may rise again tomorrow.


    “But of course, stocks are risky. Please be cautious when entering the market!”


    “Oh, do you buy stocks as well?”


    “For sure! We don’t just buy them ourselves. We also help some customers with that. After all, some of them have money but have no time. So, they let us manage their ount fully and we’ll also charge them an appropriate amount of fees.”


    “I see. That’s great.”


    “If you and this prettydy are interested, you cane open an ount with us. We’ll give you the lowest rate for the transaction fees.”


    “Oh? Sure! When we have time, I’lle to find you with Sister Yao.


    “Alright, it’s time for ear-picking. Let me ask our professionals toe. Manager Chen, please wait for a while.”


    Twenty minutester, Color Hair and Li Muyao walked out of the shampooing area together and went to the cashier of the Hairdressing Department to check out for the gentlemen, then returned to the staff waiting area and sat down.


    “Sister Yao, why did you want me to ask so many questions? Do you really want to buy stocks? You’d better not y with that. A few years ago, a rtive in my family lost all thepensation money he received for demolishing his house. It was a miserable loss for him. He lost his house and evenmitted suicide in the end.”


    Color Hair wasn’t interested in stocks at all.


    Since Color Hair had known Li Muyao for a long time, he knew and understood the meaning of every expression in Li Muyao’s eyes. So, there was clearly a problem when Li Muyao asked him to ask those questions!
