I Have Awesome Luck

Chapter 26

260% Luck

“Okay, okay, Sister Yao. I heard my aunt say that your beauty techniques have had tremendous improvements lately and you’ve also been studying very hard, but I think for things like study and work, we better take it step by step. Don’t tire out your body.”

Color Hair remembered that Li Muyao always stayed in the Hairdressing Department till midnight after finishing work in the Beauty Department back then, in order to help customers shampoo their hair to earn more bonus. She might even sleep just five hours a day for that little bit of bonus.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of myself. I won’t be polite then. I’ll accept your cell phone. When I have a day off next time, I’ll treat you to a big feast!

“I’ve become a beautician now. I’ll earn quite a lot of bonus from now on.”

She could already get a 10% bonus from the beauty cards Yang Xin applied for yesterday. Li Muyao was very confident in her ability to improve her performance. With one new customer, there would be more very soon.

“Alright, I’ll listen to you. I’ll go back to work then. Text me if you need anything. Don’t worry about spending money. I’ve already put a lot of credit in your cell phone.”

After giving the cell phone to Li Muyao, Color Hair finally went downstairs to work with peace of mind. He was also relieved that Li Muyao didn’t offer to pay him back. If not, Color Hair would probably be embarrassed.

Lin Hong, who had been sitting by the side and watching everything, was so jealous her eyes turned red. She even made a barbed comment. “Tsk, being beautiful has its advantages.

“No wonder she can become a beautician trainee after being an apprentice for seven months!”

“Lin Hong, how can you talk about Muyao like that? It isn’t Muyao’s fault for being so pretty. Alright, don’t be a hater there. This is Muyao and Color Hair’s business.

“If you can’t accept this, why don’t you go to study your notes quickly?

“Don’t forget that Muyao and I always covered for you in the past.”

Wu Lanqi also heard Li Muyao and Color Hair’s conversation and she was jealous of Li Muyao for getting the cell phone in her hands, but Wu Lanqi was still rational. After experiencing Li Muyao’s beauty techniques, she knew the difference between her and Li Muyao. She wasn’t sure since when, but the gap between her and Li Muyao had gotten bigger and bigger.

And now, Wu Lanqi became a beautician trainee with Li Muyao. She knew that it was probably because of her association with Li Muyao.

“Muyao, don’t be mad at Lin Hong. She’s always that straightforward. Didn’t you say that Manager Cai talked about eyelash extension last night? Have you learned it already?

“Why don’t you practice on my face? I don’t have any customers right now.”

Wu Lanqi didn’t believe it. Last night was the first time everyone took Manager Cai’s class on eyelash extension and the duration of the class wasn’t long. It lasted just an hour and Manager Cai only did it for Deputy Manager, Chen Shuping, once.

Can she learn it after hearing and seeing it once?

Bullshit!

“Sister Lanqi, you’re the only one who simply believes that Li Muyao can learn it in one hour. I think you must be more careful. You treat Li Muyao as a friend, but she only treats you as an experiment tool!” Lin Hong was even more upset after hearing Wu Lanqi hold Li Muyao up like that.

Li Muyao only knew how to take shortcuts. She fawned over Color Hair and Manager Cai. How shameless!

She didn’t even let go of a little boy like Color Hair who was three years younger than her.

“Lin Hong, you’ve misunderstood Muyao. She’s a nice person. Fine, let’s not talk about it. Muyao, let’s go. We’ll go to the practice room. When everyone comes later, there will be no place for us.”

Wu Lanqi said as she went up and pulled Li Muyao’s hand. However, Li Muyao naturally avoided Wu Lanqi’s hand and said with a smile, “Okay, thank you Sister Lanqi.”

The Li Muyao of the past might not see what Wu Lanqi was trying to do just then.

But now?

Wu Lanqi seemed to be helping Li Muyao, but what she said in fact agreed with Lin Hong’s claim about Li Muyao seducing Color Hair and she even created hatred against Li Muyao.

After all, they were all apprentices. Whoever learned better would naturally earn more money.

So, if they wanted to stand out among so many apprentices and have Manager Cai’s liking, they must put some effort.

Manager Cai suddenly liked Li Muyao, who used to be nameless and only thought about money. She complimented Li Muyao constantly and even had a thought of taking Li Muyao to her own salon. How would the others possibly not be envious?

Wu Lanqi also had the same thought as Lin Hong. No, since Wu Lanqi was an apprentice that came in the same period as Li Muyao, she felt an even stronger psychological gap than Lin Hong did. And yet, with Wu Lanqi’s age and experience, she managed the emotions on her face quite well. At least to Lin Hong, Wu Lanqi was a fool that kept defending Li Muyao.

“Oh, don’t worry about it. We’re good sisters.” Wu Lanqi didn’t know if she heard it wrong or if she thought too much. She felt like Li Muyao’s “thank you” seemed to have a hint of other meanings.

Wu Lanqi didn’t have time to think about it. Half an hour later, Li Muyao’s ability gave her a huge blow again.

“Sister Lanqi, how are you feeling? It’s not really painful, right? I wonder if Manager Cai has arrived today. It’ll be better if I can ask her to come and take a look!” Li Muyao watched Wu Lanqi look at her much more beautiful self in the mirror with a ghastly expression.

Li Muyao smiled in her heart. Eyelash extension was indeed not easy.

She had to use some thin, small tools to plant the fake eyelashes onto the eyelids one by one, which was a very delicate procedure. It required great eyesight and a lot of concentration, but once she became proficient, it would be a very meaningful activity.

Li Muyao didn’t wait for Wu Lanqi to give her comments on her work. When she was about to go out, Chen Shuping pushed open the door of the practice room. She immediately saw the eyelashes of Wu Lanqi, who was holding a mirror dumbfoundedly. “Oh my God! Li Muyao, did you do this for Wu Lanqi? It’s perfect. It looks exactly like the eyelashes planted by Manager Cai.

“Right, the customer who came yesterday, Yang Xin, said she wants you to do eyelash extensions for her. Seeing this result, I don’t have to worry about anything.”

After seeing Li Muyao do eyelash extensions for Wu Lanqi successfully, Chen Shuping almost changed the way she looked at Li Muyao all of a sudden, as she now knows the reason why Manager Cai likes Li Muyao so much.

Li Muyao was a total talent in the beauty industry. She had only watched Manager Cai do eyelash extensions once, but had already learned it and could do it so perfectly.

Chen Shuping started to be angry with herself. She had the thought of going against Li Muyao only because she was too pretty… And because of her jealousy, she almost missed a talent, a great beautician who could make a lot of money for the beauty salon.

Chen Shuping told herself in her heart that she must treat Li Muyao better from now on. It would be best if they could be like sisters.

“Alright, I’ll go serve her.”
