I Have Awesome Luck

Chapter 29

290% Luck

“Of course it’s true. Haven’t you heard any gossip about the lottery shop?” Everyone had already heard about the incident Lin Hong mentioned, but they had never thought that the person who won the prizes would be so close to them.

Besides, Li Muyao was too low-profile. She won more than ten thousand yuan, but there wasn’t any news about it at all.

Wu Lanqi was a bit sad. She used to tell Li Muyao everything in the past.

Right now, Li Muyao’s professional beauty skills and knowledge are continuously improving. Not only professional beauty knowledge, Li Muyao’s customers and salary were also increasing.

It had only been twenty days. In less than one month, Li Muyao had already widened the gap between them so much.

“I’ve already heard about it. I just didn’t think Li Muyao could hide it so well. In the past, I didn’t think Li Muyao was a bad person, but now, I feel like she’s hypocritical and pretentious!”

The jealousy on Li Lili’s face was especially obvious and a few others also agreed with what she said.

“It’s like we’d ask her to share the money with us. Why did she have to hide it? She just has better luck and is more beautiful. Bah! She may be seducing Color Hair now, but when Color Hair’s bored with hanging out with her, he’ll kick her away. By then, let’s see how Li Muyao will cry.” What Li Lili said immediately made the eyes of the others twinkle, but none of them replied to her.

If Li Muyao heard what Li Lili said, she would reply, “Being beautiful is truly impressive!”

The gap between Li Muyao and the apprentices was slowly appearing, but Li Muyao didn’t have time to care about how they felt. She only followed her own steps and kept advancing with all of her heart.

At noon during lunchtime today, Color Hair ran upstairs again. “Sister Yao, Manager Chen from the securities company invited us for a meal. I promised him.

“Let’s go. Going for lunch for half an hour won’t affect your work.”

“Muyao, you should go. It’s okay to come back later. If your customers are here, I’ll give you a call.” Ever since Chen Shuping became the Deputy Manager, her attitude towards Li Muyao had become better day by day.

That was because Li Muyao had broken the highest turnover record since the salon opened after becoming a beautician trainee for just two weeks. She also got new customers every day. Who wouldn’t like such a capable person?

As the Deputy Manager, if the beauticians Chen Shuping managed had better performances, she would also get more bonus.

For example, Li Muyao’s performance in the first half of the month had reached two hundred thousand yuan and she could get a 10% bonus. Chen Shuping happened to have become the Deputy Manager half a month ago as well. Li Muyao used to be Chen Shuping’s apprentice, so she was under Chen Shuping, the Deputy Manager. Then, Chen Shuping would be able to get 1% of the total earnings Li Muyao made.

Even though it was just 1%, it was definitely not a small amount after accumulating for a long time. Besides, this was just from Li Muyao alone. Chen Shuping had her basic salary as well, together with the 10% bonus she got from her customers and the 1% bonus from the earnings of the other beauticians. Ever since Chen Shuping became the Deputy Manager, her salary had risen from 4000 yuan to almost 9000 yuan in the last two weeks and 5000 yuan was the bonus from Li Muyao.

So, Chen Shuping was certainly willing to help someone who could make money for her!

“Thank you, Manager Chen. I’ll go for lunch first.”

With the help from the Deputy Manager, Chen Shuping, Li Muyao left with peace of mind. It was pretty good that Chen Shuping would call her whenever she had a customer.

Color Hair headed to the restaurant Manager Chen reserved with Li Muyao on a motorbike. When they entered the room, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng were already waiting. After Li Muyao and Color Hair sat down, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng attentively helped them wash their bowls, chopsticks, and spoons with warm water and poured tea for them.

“Pretty Muyao, this is the most popular red tea of this restaurant. I heard that girls like it a lot.”

Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng had already seen that the boy, Color Hair, listened to everything Li Muyao said.

In the last couple of months, Color Hair was the one who communicated with them. Even though Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng suggested some stocks to them, they had never thought Li Muyao would be able to choose and buy two out of the six stocks they recommended and ask them to sell the stocks after three consecutive rises.

It had only been six weeks since Li Muyao and Color Hair opened an account to buy stocks at their securities company and truly started speculating in the stock market.

In the six weeks, Li Muyao’s hundred thousand yuan had already increased by five times.

If the first time was luck, what about the second and third time?

So, Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng had reason to doubt that Li Muyao actually knew stocks.

“Manager Chen, just call me Muyao. There’s no need to add the word ‘pretty.’ I feel embarrassed hearing that. Is there a reason why you invited us to lunch?”

Li Muyao didn’t think that after opening an account at Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng’s securities company, they still needed to treat small customers like them to a meal to maintain relationships.

When Color Hair told Li Muyao that they wanted to treat them to a meal, Li Muyao did the math roughly. In the last month, they had made around five hundred thousand yuan.

Five hundred thousand yuan wasn’t really a lot in a securities account. They might not even be regarded as mid-range customers.

“Yes, indeed, Muyao. Here’s the thing. You and Color Hair are the premium customers of our securities company, so we hope you can take some time to join the charity event our company is organizing.”

Chen Qing and Liu Gucheng looked at each other and started explaining what premium customers were to Li Muyao and Color Hair with a smile.

“Premium customers are those who have never made less than 200% profit in any stocks after opening an account for investment. For customers like you, you’ve already bought and sold stocks three times, and the stocks you chose every time made quite a lot of profit. The professional system of our headquarters analyzed the results and categorized you as premium customers.

“After becoming our premium customers, we’ll always invite them to participate in the exchange gatherings for some premium customers organized by our company.

“This means that we gather some rich people and customers, who are courageous and professional in stocks, to join some activities together, so these customers can talk to one another and become friends. It’s a sort of a platform for customers to expand connections and share information.

“Our charity events aren’t something like the auctions on TV, but we go to orphanages to play games with the children there or to nursing homes to help the elderly shampoo their hair and trim their nails. As for donations or gifts, it’s up to everyone.

“Our company organizes two large-scale events and five small-scale events like that every year.

“This time, it’s a small-scale event. There won’t be a lot of participants, only thirty premium customers from the Yang City branch. That’s why we want to invite you to go and join in the fun. If you like it, you can continue to join our large-scale events.”
