Tang Su explained, "First of all, this is a drama from the Republic of China, so it will be filmed in the Shanghai Film City nearby. Secondly, who is the female lead of this drama? Think about it. Isn't it your wife?! You were the one who recommended her! Do you think I, the female lead, can't be present at the opening ceremony the day after tomorrow? I have to be at the film city the day after tomorrow. Do you think I'll be in Shanghai the next night? Don't you think you're asking the right question? "
Li Rui chuckled and said, "I really didn't think of that …"
Tang Su said in a flirtatious tone, "Just come. I'll wait for you at our house tomorrow night! I've been missing you for a long time! "
Li Rui's heart throbbed when he heard that. He actually had a reaction. He secretly laughed in his heart. He didn't expect Tang Su to be so charming. He said, "Okay, we'll take off tomorrow afternoon. We'll probably arrive in Shanghai in the evening. After we settle down, I'll go find you as soon as possible!"
Tang Su said coquettishly, "You have to come tomorrow night. If you don't, I'll go to your house to find you …"
Li Rui hung up the phone excitedly. He took a few steps forward and suddenly remembered something. He called Jiang Meixian again. After she picked up, he said, "Cindy, I'm free. I'll go to Shanghai with you tomorrow afternoon. Please help me book the tickets."
Jiang Meixian smiled strangely and said, "Why are you so polite? It's no trouble at all."
Li Rui joked with her, "Do you think I'm really polite with you? I'm just pretending to be polite. By the way, are you and Weining still working overtime …?"
He talked on the phone as he walked home. When he walked to the southwest corner of the park under a big willow tree with a canopy, a blonde woman in a miniskirt came up from the side and called out to him, "Handsome!"
Li Rui was stunned. He stopped and turned to look. He saw that the woman was about 27 or 28 years old. She was dressed coquettishly, and her face was very worn out. He guessed what she did and shook his head. Just as he was about to say that he wasn't interested, the woman said, "Wash your hair!" As she spoke, she winked at him flirtatiously. She even purposely stuck out her chest to show him most of her assets.
Li Rui smiled and ignored her. He lowered his head and continued walking.
The woman caught up to him and tugged at his arm, saying, "Just play. I'll give you a discount, two hundred dollars!"
Li Rui flung her hand away and said, "Not interested!" He quickened his pace and left, not giving her a chance to catch up.
On the other end of the line, Jiang Meixian heard a few words and asked, "What do you mean? Not interested?"
Li Rui laughed, "A beautiful girl stopped me and told me that I could play with her for only two hundred yuan. I said I wasn't interested … Do you know what kind of profession I'm talking about? Do you have such a profession in Taiwan? "
When Jiang Meixian heard this, she giggled and teased him, "There are some in Taiwan too. Why don't you play with her? Two hundred dollars is very cheap. "
When Li Rui saw that she was teasing him, he stopped being polite and teased her, "Because I don't play with women I don't know. I like to play with women I'm familiar with, such as you, Cindy."
Jiang Meixian didn't know whether to laugh or be angry. She scolded him shyly, "Go to hell! Who wants to play with you! Play by yourself. "After saying this, she hung up the phone.
Li Rui knew that she wasn't angry. He laughed, put away his phone, and walked forward. After walking a few steps, he remembered that the woman had mentioned "washing his hair." He raised his hand and touched his hair. He felt that his hair was a little long and should be cut so that he could show his youngest and most fashionable side to the Tang Su he was going to see tomorrow. He happened to catch a glimpse of a large-scale hair salon not far ahead. His heart skipped a beat and he decided to go to that salon to get his hair cut, even if he had to spend more money.
Usually, he went to a small hair salon opposite the south gate of the neighborhood to get his hair cut. The small hair salon was a husband and wife shop. The owners were a young couple. The man was in charge of washing the hair, and the woman was in charge of blow-drying, cutting, and dyeing. Because the shop was small, they didn't hire any staff, so the expenses were low. The corresponding price was also much lower. Currently, in other hair salons in the city, the cheapest hair salon for ordinary men didn't cost less than twenty-five dollars. However, that small hair salon only charged fifteen dollars, and the haircuts were not bad. Therefore, Li Rui had always gone there to get his hair cut. He had never been to a large-scale hair salon before. Today was his first time.
This hair salon was very large. It occupied a small two-story building with four rooms. The interior of the salon was luxuriously decorated. The lights were densely packed, shining brightly and dazzlingly. Standing outside the salon, one could clearly see the details of the environment inside through the huge floor-to-ceiling glass window. However, there wasn't anyone in the salon at this time. Even the hairdresser couldn't be seen. The salon was empty, and it seemed like it was about to close.
Li Rui didn't think much of it. He also thought that the salon was about to close. He didn't know if he could make it in time. He quickly walked to the salon and pushed the door open. When he saw the luxurious decorations in the salon, he suddenly realised that he had been out of touch with the rapidly developing society for too long. What era was this? Why did he still go to a small salon with only one shop to get his hair cut? Why didn't he know that he should enjoy a modern high-end hair salon? He sighed inwardly and thought that he had wasted half his life.
When he walked into the salon, he couldn't see a single employee. Slightly knitting his brows, he walked a few steps and shouted, "Is anyone here?"
"Yes …"
Suddenly, a young woman's voice sounded from inside. Then, a beautiful woman in a grey office lady suit came out to welcome him.
Li Rui followed the sound of high heels and turned around to look. When he saw the woman's face, he was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that there would be such a beautiful woman in a hair salon!
The woman was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. She had a slim figure and was about 1.7 meters tall in high heels. She had a bob hairstyle that was very popular in recent years. Her thick bangs were parted at her forehead. She had an irregular oval face, peach blossom eyes, a high nose bridge, and plump lips. She looked pure and sweet. With her hair parted at the side, she looked even more charming. She looked very much like the popular actress Gao Yuanyuan. She was wearing a grayish-white suit. Under the short skirt were black stockings, which made her legs look slender and sexy. She was wearing a pair of silver-gray high heels. She walked over gracefully, looking quite charming. However, her face didn't look too good. Although she had a professional smile on her face, it looked like a bitter smile.
Li Ruixin said that beautiful women were everywhere. Even a random employee in a hair salon was so beautiful. He asked, "Is it still open?"
The beautiful woman nodded and said, "It's open, it's open. Do you want a haircut?"
Li Rui nodded.
The beautiful woman said, "Please wait a moment. I'll arrange a hairdresser for you!" After saying that, she walked in and whispered something into her earpiece.
Li Rui realized that she might be the employee in charge of greeting customers in this hair salon. He was very surprised. This woman had a graceful figure and a sweet face. It wouldn't be wrong to say that she was a beauty among beauties. Such a woman, if placed outside, wouldn't be a peerless beauty, at least could be said to be one in a million. However, she appeared in a hair salon in front of him, and was actually working as a greeter. This was really unbelievable. Could it be that beautiful women were so common that they were worthless?
In just a short while, a fashionably dressed male employee with a mohawk came out from inside and said to Li Rui, "Hello handsome, I'll be your hairdresser this time. You can call me Xiao Gang. Go wash your hair now. After washing your hair, I'll come back with a hairstyle for you. What do you think? "
Of course, Li Rui didn't have any objections. He walked in the direction that Xiao Gang pointed and went around a projector wall. Inside was a rectangular room with a row of reclining leather chairs for washing hair. There were at least ten of them, but they were all empty. There wasn't a single customer.
Even though Li Rui didn't mind monopolizing this area, he still felt that it was deserted. He nosily shouted outside, "Are you guys going to close?"
No one outside answered. He didn't know if Xiao Gang didn't hear him or if he heard him and didn't answer.
Li Rui walked into the area and didn't see any employees in charge of washing hair. He felt even more deserted, even desolate. However, since he was already here, he couldn't just turn around and leave. He thought that if he lay down first, Xiao Gang would definitely call the employee to wash his hair. Thus, he hugged his briefcase and lay down on the outermost leather chair.
Not long after he lay down, someone came over. Then, a slightly hoarse female voice sounded behind him. "Sir, can I wash my hair now?"
Li Rui nodded, but just as he finished, he suddenly heard something wrong. He turned his head and looked back, only to see the beautiful receptionist standing behind him in an apron, adjusting the temperature of the water. He recognized her and was shocked. What's going on? Wasn't she in charge of welcoming guests? Why did she come over to wash his hair? The office lady's suit she was wearing was very tasteful. It wasn't what a hair washer would wear. Moreover, a real hair washer wouldn't wear an apron. It wasn't like she was cooking. What was she doing?
When the woman saw Li Rui staring at her in a daze, she thought that there was something wrong with her appearance. She looked him up and down and smiled. "What's wrong? I … Did I do something wrong? "
Li Rui realized that he had lost his composure. He said embarrassedly, "Why are you here?"
The woman was also a little embarrassed. She smiled and said, "I can't help it. The employees in charge of washing hair are all gone. I can only temporarily take over. You don't mind, right?"
Li Rui shook his head. "I don't mind. However, isn't it too early for you to get off work?"
The woman smiled bitterly and didn't say anything else. She quickly tidied his collar and put a towel on him. Finally, she asked him to move back a little and started washing his hair.
Li Rui naturally felt a little awkward to have his hair washed by a female greeter. However, when he considered the other party's appearance, the awkwardness quickly disappeared — it was the first time in his life that he had been washed by such a beautiful girl.
The woman seemed to be afraid that Li Rui would feel depressed. She took the initiative to chat with him. "Sir, is this your first time in our house?"
