Li Rui said, "Yes, it's my first time back home. Actually, I live in a neighborhood nearby and often pass by your store, but I've never entered."
The woman said, "Is that so? Actually, our store was very famous in the beginning. The hairstylists we hired were all top domestic stylists from Beijing and Shanghai. One of them even did styling for a big star. In terms of overall capability, our store is ranked in the top three in the city. Unfortunately, now …" She stopped abruptly and went silent.
Li Rui heard the main point in her words and asked, "Very famous in the beginning? Aren't we famous now? Why? Because the competition is too fierce? "
The woman smiled bitterly and nodded. "You can say that … How's my hair-washing skills? I didn't make you uncomfortable, did I? "
Li Rui felt her hands rubbing and scratching his scalp. It was very comfortable and his whole body relaxed. He yawned slightly and actually wanted to sleep. He praised, "Not only did you not make me uncomfortable, but you made me feel very comfortable. I even suspected that you were a professional hair-washer."
The woman chuckled and said, "Is that so? Actually, this is the first time I've washed someone's hair. "
Li Rui was very surprised and said with a smile, "Then you're really not simple. Hehe, I want to keep washing."
The woman smiled and said, "What would I look like if I kept washing? If you think my technique is enough to relieve your tiredness, then you can try a head massage after you're done. I've practiced massaging before. "
Li Rui thought that it wasn't too late and that the head massage wouldn't take too long, so he said, "Okay."
The woman said, "Okay, then I'll start in a while."
Li Rui nodded slightly.
After washing, the woman dried Li Rui's hair and then gently massaged his head. She seemed to know the acupoints and meridians. She didn't randomly press and rub, but pressed two by two. She pressed for a longer time on Li Rui's Taiyang, Baihui, and Yuzhen acupoints. Her technique varied. Li Rui didn't feel great, but it was very comfortable.
While massaging Li Rui, the woman chatted with him. She asked him where he was from, how old he was, what he was doing now, whether he was married … She asked him a bunch of random questions. Of course, the main purpose was to chat with him and relieve his boredom, not to find out his background. The shop was really cold and cheerless, and there was almost no sound. If he didn't talk to relieve his boredom, he really couldn't guarantee what this only customer would feel.
The massage ended after 20 minutes. Li Rui felt very relieved and comfortable. He had an idea in his mind. He didn't want to go to work anymore. He didn't want to go anywhere. He just wanted the woman behind him to continue massaging and chatting with him.
The woman smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I was just chatting with you and forgot to tell you the price of the massage. It's 35 yuan per session. But it's rare for you to come, so I'll give you a discount. It's 30 yuan. "
30 yuan wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a little either. If it was used to measure the effect of the 20 minutes of massage, Li Rui felt that it was worth it. In any case, a big girl sat behind him and massaged him for 20 minutes. During that time, she even chatted and laughed with him. Not only did it bring physical relaxation, but it also made him feel happy. This was something that couldn't be bought with 30 yuan.
Li Rui said, "There's no need for a discount. A discount would be an insult to your massage technique. This money can be paid after the haircut, right? "
The woman smiled at his words. Her smile was no longer bitter, but natural and pure. It could be described as a smile like a flower. A trace of appreciation appeared in her beautiful peach blossom eyes. She said, "Just because of what you said, I'll give you a free meal today!"
Li Rui was about to say no, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong. This beauty, as a receptionist, could temporarily be the shampoo and wash his hair, but how could she temporarily be the boss and give him a free meal? Even if the boss wasn't here, wasn't she afraid that the boss would find something wrong when he checked the account?
"Boss …"
Li Rui was puzzled. Suddenly, Xiao Gang's anxious voice sounded from outside. Then, he heard footsteps. He turned around and saw Xiao Gang running in quickly. His face was very ugly. He ran directly to the beauty and shouted in panic and indignation, "Boss, those bandits are here again!"
The beauty's face sank. She walked out, but stopped after a few steps. She turned around and said softly to Li Rui, "Can you wait for a while? Don't go out. I'll be back soon. "After that, she walked out accompanied by Xiao Gang.
Li Rui stared at her slender back in a daze. He found it funny. So she was the boss. No wonder she was so beautiful and elegant. No wonder she dared to say that she would give him a free meal. It was funny that he didn't recognize her and thought she was a receptionist. This time, he was embarrassed.
"Haha …"
A man's arrogant laughter sounded from outside. There was endless hostility in the laughter. Li Rui's heart jumped when he heard it. He remembered the beautiful boss's order. She didn't want him to go out for the time being. Suddenly, he was very curious. He thought for a while, put his briefcase on the leather chair, and tiptoed to the outside.
Li Rui stopped at the corner of the screen wall. Originally, if he wanted to see the scene in the hairdressing area outside, he needed to go around the projector wall and walk to the outer room. However, there were many mirrors installed on the walls of the hairdressing area. Li Rui stood at the corner of the projector wall and could see everything that was happening outside through the reflections of those mirrors, so there was no need to go out.
When Li Rui stopped in his tracks, he could see through the mirror that there were three more people in the hair salon. They were three big men. The leader was a half-bald, fierce-looking man. If he put on a mink coat, he would look like a big bear. Behind him stood two mean and ferocious looking young men. One of them had a wolf tattoo on his left arm and was toying with a black extendable baton in his hand.
The beautiful boss and the receptionist, Xiao Gang, stood opposite the three of them. They were talking to the short man. As they were not far away, their words could be heard clearly.
"If you have the guts, then smash my shop! But even if you smash it, I won't sell it to you. I won't submit to you evil forces! "
"Haha, Zhang Roujia, you don't have to provoke us. We won't smash your shop even if you provoke us. We are all good citizens who follow the law. We never do anything illegal. Besides, if we really smash your shop, our big brother will have to redecorate it. Do you think I'm stupid? "
"Qin Yongbin can dream on. I won't sell it to him even if I have to close down my shop! The three of you, get the hell out of here. I don't welcome you here! "
"Haha, hahaha, you don't welcome us? Even if you don't welcome us, we can still come in. Let me tell you, woman, unless you close your shop, don't even think about not letting us in. You're open for business, right? As long as you're open for business, I'll be here. As long as I'm here, you won't have any customers. Let's see who can last longer. Haha, haha! "
When Li Rui heard this, he suddenly understood something. No wonder this shop was in such a good location, was so big, and had such high-end decorations, but he couldn't see a single customer. It was all because of these three hooligans. It was funny that he thought they were closing for the day.
The beautiful boss, Zhang Roujia, was silent for a while. Suddenly, she said in a low voice, "Fine, I'm afraid of you. Can I close the shop? Please leave. I'm going to close the shop! "
Li Rui saw from the mirror that after she finished speaking, she quickly walked to the door and looked like she was going to close the door.
The three hooligans weren't anxious. They turned around and looked at her with a smile.
At this moment, the shop assistant, Xiao Gang, suddenly said, "Boss, you can't close the shop. Did you forget that there's a customer inside?"
When he said that, the three hooligans all turned around and looked at Li Rui. Zhang Roujia looked at Xiao Gang with resentment and helplessness. She was blaming him for talking too much.
Xiao Gang also realized that he had said something wrong. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand, but it was too late.
"There's a customer? Damn it, I just went out for a meal. I wasn't here for a while, and someone sneaked in? I want to see who dares to go against me today! Drag that bastard out for me! "
The short man glared at the aisles on both sides of the projector wall and said those words with a murderous look.
When the two young men behind him heard this, they immediately moved and walked side by side towards the screen wall. However, just as they were about to go around the screen wall, a long leg suddenly flew out from inside and kicked the young man in the chest and abdomen. The young man felt a huge force hit him. Before he felt any pain, he had already staggered backward.
Before the second young man could react, the owner of the long leg had already rushed out. He grabbed the extendable baton in the young man's right hand with his left hand and swung his right fist toward the young man's face. The young man only had time to cry out in fright. His face had already been punched, and he saw stars. He subconsciously covered his face and turned around to run. He didn't have time to care about the extendable baton in his right hand, nor did he have time to see the enemy's face.
The person who suddenly rushed out saw the second young man running away. He didn't chase after him. He took the extendable baton from his left hand and handed it to his right hand. He had already rushed to the short man and raised the baton to his neck. He sneered, "Short bear, you're really crazy. Others coming here to get a haircut is a hindrance to you?"
