Chapter 1257 - 1256: Grand Opening
"Don't you want to make money anymore? Is earning more important, or wearing revealing clothes more important? Eight Purple Crystals a month, such a generous reward, not to mention the commission. What more could you want?"Bai Xiaotong had no choice but to play her trump card, using Purple Crystals to sway these young women.
"Eight Purple Crystals? Not including commission?"
"Yes!"
The girls' eyes shone at the prospect of so much.
They had grown up without ever seeing eight Purple Crystals. Back at the Wen family, it was only two Purple Crystals a month, doing dirty and exhausting work. Now they had lovely, comfortable clothes to wear, even without much thought, they knew which choice was best.
The young women immediately put on the off-shoulder, backless evening gowns in front of Bai Xiaotong.
"This one looks good."
"This fabric feels so nice and smooth."
"I like this one, it has so many feathers on it."
Gone was the earlier shyness; they were all dreaming of making a fortune and couldn't wait for customers to walk in.
"Wearing these clothes alone isn't enough. Look at your makeup, it's so plain, it won't attract men to spend money. With so many people, I don't have enough hands to help, so I'll teach you the fastest and simplest makeup techniques. You follow along, and apply your own makeup afterwards. Got it?"
Bai Xiaotong spoke loudly, and they all responded in unison, "Got it!"
Bai Xiaotong took out the makeup tools she often used and selected the woman with the most ordinary features to demonstrate.
In just half an hour, an exquisite makeup application and suitable attire made the woman appear noble.
"Now you see the magic of makeup, don't you?"
Bai Xiaotong wasn't just bragging; her skills were on par with professional makeup artists.
"Wow, it's stunning, like a whole different person. Can we be this pretty too?"
The young women asked Bai Xiaotong eagerly, all impressed by the Magic Master.
"Of course you can, just follow what I taught you, step by step, don't skip any steps, got it?"
As Bai Xiaotong finished speaking, she distributed the tools to the girls, letting them show off their skills.
The girls were a bit slower than Bai Xiaotong, and when they finished their makeup, Tang Rao almost spit out the tea he was drinking.
"Auntie, impressive!"
Tang Rao remembered exactly what the girls looked like before, and after just one hour, they looked completely transformed, even Wen Lei, who had seen these girls countless times, looked utterly amazed.
"Boss, these girls are from my Wen family, so if I come for a drink or chat with the girls about life, you won't charge me, right?"
Seeing the big setup Tang Rao created, Wen Lei guessed it wouldn't be cheap, so he tried getting a discount early on.
"Of course I'll charge you, but since you're so straightforward, I can give you a discount, that's the best favor I can offer."
Take it or leave it, anyway, when Tang Rao's business grows, Wen Lei will still have to come to such a place to entertain his friends.
Think about it, no one else gets a discount, only him. Just that bit of prestige is enough for Wen Lei to show off for some time.
"Alright, thanks, Boss."
Even though it wasn't quite what he wanted, Wen Lei was happy with the outcome.
"Girls, come down and show your looks to your boss."
After Bai Xiaotong promoted some new ideas of the 21st century, the girls' thoughts changed quite a bit.
Especially when Bai Xiaotong mentioned that only the privileged could wear these clothes in her place, they felt proud and honored in their attire.
"Not bad, looks good, it's Wen Lei's favorite style."
Tang Rao's words were reserved. He liked the style too but was too embarrassed to admit it.
"Wen Lei's favorite style?"
Bai Xiaotong gave Tang Rao a disdainful look.
She'd watched Tang Rao grow up and knew well when he was speaking truthfully or not.
"Tang Rao, are you really going to grow Wen Rou into a big establishment?"
This was the common thought among the women. Their main concern was that as Tang Rao spent more time here, he'd meet more people, and whether it was from business necessity or true attraction, he'd bring home a bunch of women. What then?
"Yes, I'm developing this place not for myself but for Tang Xiaobai. I can't let Tang Xiaobai grow up and ask his dad what he fought for only to have his dad come up empty-handed, right?"
As Tang Rao spoke, the Tang Xiaobai in Li Shengxuan's arms burst into giggles, unable to hold back.
"Looks like Tang Xiaobai will grow up just like his dad, a big flirt – doomed, doomed."
The women sighed, wanting to steer Tang Xiaobai towards the right path, but clearly, since young, he was veering off course.
"My son takes after me, naturally charming, strong sense of responsibility, not bad, I just think my Tang Rao's son is great, even better than his dad, his dad would be even happier."
Tang Rao wasn't exaggerating; his son's face showed he wouldn't be simple. With a little care in upbringing and attention to Tang Xiaobai, his son could outdo him, easily predicted.
"Giggling!"
For others, Tang Xiaobai was aloof, but whenever Tang Rao spoke, Tang Xiaobai would giggle, as if affirming his words.
"Stop laughing, be careful your moms get upset. If they get jealous, your dad will have a tough time."
Tang Rao could only confide his troubles in Tang Xiaobai, as such struggles, as a successful person, no one else could really understand.
"Tang Rao, now you're teaming up with Tang Xiaobai to bully us, huh?"
Bai Xiaotong hadn't finished admiring the beauties, yet internal strife already began.
Wen Lei jumped out of their circle, afraid to get caught in the crossfire.
Seems too many women aren't exactly a good thing.
"Tang Rao, what have you thought about? Should we leave it like this or make further improvements?"
Bai Xiaotong thought it was fine, but worried about Tang Rao's high expectations, changing things constantly and wasting a lot of time.
"No need, I think it's good like this, let's settle it. Wen Lei, find time to help me promote it, I'll invite the chef, let's prepare separately, find a good time, then I think we can open for business."
