Li Weijie didn't expect "that person" to be so cunning, deliberately making things difficult for him. What was even more infuriating was that Su Keko didn't care about the money at all.
Spending a few thousand yuan on her hair was nothing to her! She was willing to sign the contract and pay for it, only to demand a redo. There was simply no reason to refuse.
Su Keko anticipated that Li Weijie would take countermeasures, so she informed the store manager, Sun Mo, when she went to take a break, temporarily reserving his services and preventing him from attending to other clients that day.
Poor Li Weijie had no choice but to redesign Su Keko's hairstyle, intentionally playing along with her scheme. However, this time, he wouldn't give any suggestions or opinions, letting her have complete control.
Li Weijie didn't complain or lose his temper. He simply followed her instructions, designing and redesigning as she pleased.
It wasn't that his emotional intelligence had suddenly improved significantly, but rather that Sun Mo, who noticed that something was amiss, earnestly imparted three words to him during Su Keko's break: Endure! Endure! Endure!
As the saying goes, "Life is like rape. When you can't resist, you might as well learn to enjoy it."
Li Weijie adopted this mindset.
When he realized he couldn't escape the torment of this little witch today, he simply abandoned any resistance and told himself with an Ah Q spirit: It's better to resolve conflicts with enemies than to hold grudges.
Let her have her way. Hehe, after all, it's her hair that's being ruined, and it brings in revenue.
Why not?
Rather than enduring the pain, he focused on the fact that he was ruining Su Keko's beautiful hair. He even imagined the pretty girl in front of him as an expressionless, emotionless model, making it easier for him.
He had imagined countless beauty models as lifeless mannequins, but he was probably the only one who transformed lively and attractive beauties into mannequins!
He persisted until evening when the fourth hairstyle was completed.
Su Keko finally nodded in satisfaction, possibly because she was hungry or had other matters to attend to.
In reality, Su Keko didn't care about the hairstyle's effect or appearance at all. She was satisfied to see Li Weijie mentally and physically "tormented" to some extent. It brought her a sense of revengeful delight.
As she walked out of Shijue happily, she glanced back at Li Weijie, who was slumped in the hairstyling seat, sighing in relief.
A thought suddenly crossed her mind: Am I going too far with this? After all, he was just...
After a moment of contemplation, another thought immediately took precedence in Su Keko's mind: No boy has ever touched my face from childhood till now, let alone this wretched rascal who "forcefully touched" it! Hmph, if I don't properly deal with him, will he not go on to assault more women in the future? That's right! My actions are completely aimed at making him understand the consequences and set him straight! Hmph...
"Well done, Ajie. You managed to win over a customer so quickly. Impressive," Sun Mo said with a smile as he walked back to the rest area with Li Weijie.
"Remember when you asked what 'charm' meant in the 'ability and charm' that Mr. Xu mentioned? This ability to attract customers and have them specifically request your service is the charm that Mr. Xu emphasized! The greater your charm, the more repeat customers you'll have, and the greater your business influence."
Li Weijie let out a sigh and chuckled. "Store manager, don't tease me like that. How can I claim to have won over a customer's heart? I... sigh... I'm off duty now."
Sun Mo nodded and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Have you known Miss Su for a long time? It seems like there's some tension between you two?"
"You could say we know each other. Let's not talk about it..."
Li Weijie replied and asked back, "Is this Miss Su surnamed Su from a wealthy family?"
"Yeah, her name is Su Keko, and she comes from a very wealthy family. She's friends with Mr. Xu and is also a regular customer at our salon. However, it's the first time she's had an assistant do her hairstyle," Sun Mo said, unable to hide his amusement. "She's
something, making you do it four times in one go!"
Li Weijie couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't make it sound so ambiguous. What do you mean by 'making me do it four times'... Huh? Why do I feel like you're gloating a little?"
"Absolutely not!" Sun Mo laughed and walked away.
As Li Weijie changed his clothes and left "Shijue," he finally let out a sigh of relief.
The anticipation before the break always made people feel particularly excited and joyful, even better than the actual rest. Unfortunately, that good feeling was ruined by Su Keko!
But now, he couldn't be bothered to think about it anymore. He just wanted to rest well and enjoy the feeling of the weekend. (Due to the salon's increased number of customers on weekends and Sundays, the staff couldn't rest on Sundays as usual but had to take turns.)
At that moment, Li Weijie's phone rang. His heart inexplicably skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but feel a hint of alertness.
Could it be that Su Keko isn't letting me off the hook?!
He took out his phone and was surprised to see that it was Xu Rong calling!
Li Weijie chuckled and breathed a sigh of relief, quickly answering the call. "Rong Jie."
"Ajie, have you finished work?"
Xu Rong, though the boss, wasn't always at the shop, and she wasn't familiar with the specific arrangements for the staff.
"Just finished."
Li Weijie felt a sense of relief, like coming off the frontlines.
"Then come and have dinner with me. I'm at the same restaurant as last time. Do you remember the way?"
Xu Rong mentioned the restaurant's address again, allowing him to go there directly by car.
Li Weijie originally wanted to politely decline but didn't know how to start. Having a meal with a beautiful woman was a pleasant thing, but having the girl pay made him feel a bit awkward.
Besides, he had just started working and couldn't afford to spend much. So he wanted to make an excuse to decline.
In the past few days, he had become quite familiar with Xu Rong, and he thought it wasn't a big deal. He could treat her as his boss!
Having a meal with a beautiful female boss and letting her pay, there was nothing to feel embarrassed about. Moreover, they lived together and worked at "Shijue," so there would be plenty of opportunities to treat her in the future.
When Li Weijie arrived at the restaurant, he couldn't help but sigh at the entrance.
This high-end restaurant was more about the ambiance than the food itself.
If he wanted to eat heartily and comfortably, he might as well have some casual Chinese fast food!
As he walked into the restaurant, Li Weijie quickly found Xu Rong's table, not because her table was prominent but because strikingly beautiful people always caught his eye.
Moreover, there were now two strikingly beautiful women!
One was an elegant and sophisticated beauty, while the other was a captivating beauty reminiscent of a beautiful manga character.
Even before reaching the table, Li Weijie had already recognized the other beautiful woman. It was none other than Shen Mengli, the senior hairstylist at "Shijue," the cool beauty who had caught his eye at first glance!
