Chapter 110: Glamour Beauty Salon

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhang Zian was worried that the beauty salon might be closed at this time. Unexpectedly, it was the busiest time of the day; customers kept coming and going.

There were a lot of pretty girls.

Did all the pretty girls in Binhai city all come to this salon?

They were not only pretty with beautiful makeup, but also very well-dressed. Zhang Zian knew nothing about top notch brands those girls were wearing, not to mention the luxurious handbags they were carrying.

Zhao Qi was the most fashionable young lady in his social circle; however, compared to these girls, Zhao Qi was nothing.

The cars parked outside the beauty salon were all fancy and worth over 200 thousand Yuan. The least expensive one was probably an Audi.

Normally, highly successful men or 2nd generation rich folk drive such luxury cars. In a beauty salon… highly successful men or the 2nd generation rich would probably not want to wait for their wife/girlfriend for an hour or two. Zhang Zian guessed that these high-end cars belonged to these beautiful women.

All of a sudden, he felt greatly pressured.

At first, he thought Xiao Yan’s beauty salon was just a store slightly bigger than a hair salon. He was completely wrong.

Since he had already come this far, he might as well go in. Otherwise the taxi fare was wasted.

As he walked into the lounge, the receptionist stopped him. "Sir, we are a female-exclusive salon and don’t serve male customers." She continued when she saw Fina, "Pets are also not allowed. I am sorry."

Zhang Zian walked over to the receptionist. He was sweating out of nervousness. "I am not here for your service. I came for a friend."

"Who are you looking for? A customer or a staff member?" The receptionist was alert.

"Um…I am here for Xiao Yan. Does she work here?"

The receptionist paused and asked politely, "Do you have an appointment?"

"Yes. She is expecting me."

She picked up the internal line and asked, "May I know your name?"

"You can tell her I am from the pet store."

She pointed at the couch in the lounge using her elbow and said, "Please wait. Let me find out…please take good care of your cat. If she breaks anything or if she hurts anyone, you will have to be held accountable."

She kept talking. Zhang Zian expressed that he already knew and stopped her.

He wasn’t mad at her because he understood it was her responsibility to warn him. If a pet hurt a customer, she probably would lose her job. It was not always easy to keep a job.

The couch was made from genuine leather. It was super comfortable. Zhang Zian’s recliner was a piece of sh*t compared to this couch.

Fina’s golden fur looked extremely pretty on that dark brown couch.

Two fashionable young ladies walked in and immediately ran to Fina.

"Oh my! what a magnificent cat!"

"The way she looks at me is so domineering!"

"This cat is so much prettier than the one Xiao Yan owns."

One of them asked, "Is this your cat? Can I pet her?"

Zhang Zian said, "You’d better not. She is very grumpy. She doesn’t like being petted."

"Aww…that is too bad. Where did you get her? What breed is she? She is the prettiest cat I have ever seen! I want one just like her."

Zhang Zian cleared his throat, "Ummm… I am sorry. This is a very rare breed. I don’t think you can get it anymore…"

As he spoke, someone walked quickly towards him.

"Mr. Manager, I am sorry to make you wait. I was in the middle of something." Xiao Yan reached her arm out as she walked.

Zhang Zian stood up immediately and shook her hand.

"That’s fine. You came right after I sat down."

It seemed that the two pretty girls knew Xiao Yan quite well. They waved at her. "Hello, Sister Xiao! Here we are again!"

Xiao Yan nodded with a smile. "Xiao Tian, you look great today. So, do you, A Yun. What’s up? Got a boyfriend?"

Xiao Tian immediately joked around, "That’s right! She got a boyfriend. Look at her! She was keeping it a secret, but we found out anyways! Isn’t that right, sister Xiao?"

Xiao Yan laughed. "Ha-ha, okay. Let’s see how many days your love will last."

A Yun pretended to be mad at Xiao Tian and hit her on the shoulder. She said to Xiao Yan, "I am confident that it will last for at least three months this time."

Xiao Tian was rubbing her shoulder and saw that Zhang Zian was standing next to them. She asked, "Sister Xiao, who is he? I heard you call him Mr. Manager. Does he own a new beauty salon?"

Xiao Yan smiled at Zhang Zian with an "I am sorry" look and said, "Let me introduce him. This is the owner of Amazing Fate Pet Shop. These two are my friends and customers, Xiao Tian and A Yun."

"Oh, a pet store…" At first, they were surprised, but then they realized something. "No wonder you have a cute cat like that. Mr. Manager, are you saving the good pets for yourself?"

Zhang Zian was very comfortable with pets and pet lovers. However, since he was in a beauty salon talking to fancy ladies, he felt shy all of a sudden.

"Um…my store is very small." He was embarrassed.

Xiao Yan said, "Well, his store might be small now, but the future is very promising!"

"Thank you…" He felt even more embarrassed.

Xiao Yan continued, "You are both my long-term customers. Still remember what my salon looked like?"

"How could we forget…it was such a small, old salon. You didn’t want to turn on the AC in the summer. One time, I got three bug bites after having my hair done there…You still did people’s hair at that time…" Xiao Tian said before then she sighed. "Sister Xiao, the hairstyles you designed back then would still look good today. I don’t even remember how many years ago it was. I was in high school at the time…such precious memories!"

Xiao Yan nodded. "That is right. Looking at a store, you can’t judge it from its current size but have to see if there is something unique and better than other stores in the industry."

She was half joking and said, "Mr. Manager’s pet store is like that. His store might be small, but I can see something different – I can tell. Ten years from now, who knows how big it will grow!"

"Okay, okay!" A Yun covered her face and laughed. "Ten years from now I will be old and ugly."

"You don’t think you are old and ugly now?" Xiao Tian giggled. "You are on your way there."
