“Is that so? I think you’re also very good-looking. Your name is Xiaoxia? It’s just that the name sounds a little old-fashioned!”
Li Junlan’s mouth was still as vicious as ever. Even if she was praising someone, it sounded so ridiculous.
Fortunately, Han Xiaoxia had been in this service industry for a long time, so she had long adapted to all kinds of customers. She just went in one ear and out the other. She smiled and said, “How can we country women be as lucky as you? The wrinkles on our faces are even showing!”
“Do you need any shampoo?”
Han Xiaoxia wasn’t here to chat. In fact, Li Junlan wanted to continue the conversation, but Han Xiaoxia had already started talking about business. She said, “I don’t have any good shampoo here. The best one is Sassoon?”
“Sure.”
“Alright, 1’11 do it. 1’11 open a bottle of sample for you, but it’ll cost you an extra 5 yuan!”
Li Junlan’s jade-like finger trembled as she nodded lightly.
“I’m sorry,” Han Xiaoxia said with a smile, “but most of the people here are from the countryside. They don’t dare to order anything too expensive. Usually, no one will be willing to use such a mid-level item. Even if it’s a trial bottle, after opening a bottle, it will be difficult to use the rest. 1 didn’t earn your money, so it’s good that 1 didn’t lose anything!”
Li Junlan turned around and wanted to scold her, but she saw Han Xiaoxia smiling sweetly and seriously spraying water on her hair. Although she was still beautiful and her foundation could be used as a plastic surgery template, the vicissitudes of life that had been suppressed in her eyes made Li Junlan feel a sense of affection.
She suddenly thought unnaturally.
Li Junlan was born into a wealthy family. Since she was young, she had been looked up to by thousands of people and was pampered in many ways. Later on, when she was about to degenerate into someone else’s second wife, she was still a young miss who had servants do the laundry for her.
Li Junlan was indeed on duty.
She knew that Xu Wenping, this playboy, had not returned to the city for many days. There must be a reason.
Sure enough, she had just inquired about the situation and had just reached the town. After waiting for half an hour, she bumped into Xu Wenping who was riding a motorcycle.
Look.
Look at Han Xiaoxia’s appearance.
Are you, Xu Wenping, the kind of person who does serious business!?
“How long have you been cutting hair here?” Desolation flashed through her heart. Li Junlan suddenly felt that although they had different identities, they were all helpless people who were manipulated by fate. Therefore, they were in the same boat.
“I’ve been cutting hair here ever since 1 graduated from high school,” Han Xiaoxia said with a smile. “You can definitely trust my skills. 1 can be considered an old master. Sometimes, I go online to learn about the advanced technology in your city.”
“With your talent, you might have a chance to work in the city,” Li Junlan said softly.
Han Xiaoxia’s eyes flickered. A long time ago, she seemed to have been looking forward to such a thing. Gradually, she was tortured by life and slowly became a captive of comfort, so she did not think about those things anymore.
However, after thinking for a moment, she smiled and said, “What ability can 1 have? I heard that the city is quite complicated. I’m not smart, so I won’t be able to make any achievements there.”
“But…”
“Do you use hair conditioner?”
“Yes.”
Li Junlan’s words were interrupted. She glanced sideways at the red braised pork on the table and said, “I saw a man leave your place just now. He brought you food. Is he your boyfriend?”
This woman was really talkative.
Actually, Han Xiaoxia preferred customers who didn’t talk much.
However, since she asked, Han Xiaoxia naturally answered perfunctorily, “You can consider him an older brother. We’ve been friends since we were young. By the way, he’s actually in the city. He seems to be in Jin Hai City. He has recently come home to visit his grandparents.”
As expected of a woman.
When Han Xiaoxia said the last sentence, she was already observing Li Junlan’s expression. However, with Li Junlan’s composure, she naturally did not show any expression.
The two women were testing each other. This kind of competition would probably suffocate any man present.
“Oh…”
Li Junlan nodded and smiled. Then, the corners of her mouth curled up. “Since he’s from the city, riding a motorcycle to deliver food to you, does that mean he’s interested in you?”
“This…”
Li Junlan smiled deeply and said, “You have to seize the opportunity when you meet someone who likes you. After all, it’s too rare for us girls to find a man who truly loves us. It’s hard to find a lover when you’re looking for a priceless treasure.”
Li Junlan didn’t expect herself to say such words, but she still blurted it out. Hearing Li Junlan’s persuasion, Han Xiaoxia subconsciously thought that Li Junlan and Xu Wenping had nothing to do with each other.
It seemed like she was overthinking things.
How could there be a woman in this world who would give up her man?
After washing their hair, the two women smiled and said goodbye.
The moment they got back into the car, Li Junlan was trembling with anger. She punched the steering wheel twice and gritted her teeth. “D*mn it! Why would I say something like that?”
“I want to ask what this d*mn Xu Wenping is doing!”
Xu Wenping strolled up the mountain. He was still some distance away from home. When he heard his phone ring, his heart skipped a beat. When he saw that it was Li Junlan, he was a little surprised.
“Yo, Empress, you can give me a call? I’m really flattered!” Xu Wenping said.
Little did he know that Li Junlan’s face was already red. How could she not hear the teasing in Xu Wenping’s mouth? She gritted her teeth and said, “Xu Wenping, can you speak properly? Can’t we go through? Let’s get down to official business!”
“Official business?” Xu Wenping was slightly surprised, then he frowned and said, “Tianhai Taste’s stocks have risen?”
“Xu! Wen! Ping!”
Li Junlan was so angry that she said each word with a pause. Then, she shouted into the phone, “The Imperial Corporation has begun to acquire Tianhai Taste. Why the h*ll are you talking about stocks? What I’m talking about is, where did you go?”
“It’s fine that you haven’t returned home for so many days. You didn’t even call home. Even if it’s the second branch, you shouldn’t be so negligent, right? Have you ever coaxed a girl? Do you want me to teach you how to suppress your power?”
Even though he was holding the phone from afar, he could feel the murderous intent in Li Junlan’s tone. After Xu Wenping heard her finish, he took the phone and said strangely, “What do you mean? I don’t think you’re a girl who needs to be coaxed.”
“What? Are you bankrupt? Isn’t your studio so busy that it’s windy when you walk… Where can 1 coax you?”
Although Xu Wenping’s mouth was full of teasing, he was not annoyed at all. He was not scolding either. When the time came, Li Junlan felt a little tender and said sarcastically, “Where are you going to coax me? If you want to find me, it’s just a matter of a word. I think you must have hooked up with a little girl in the village. Forget it if you abandon me… Don’t tell me you’ve also thrown your Empress to the clouds?”
Xu Wenping was slightly stunned.
“Speaking of which… Junlan, what should 1 do if I meet my first love? And 1 was…. strengthened!”
