Chapter 61: Zhang Xiaoli's Market Value Has Risen
"Sister Luo, the Sister Weiwei who just signed up for a card invited me out to dinner tonight. I'd like to get off work a little early, is that okay?"
Zhang Xiaoli looked at the store manager, Luo Yufang, who was currently giving a facial to a customer, and asked cautiously.
Luo Yufang was a middle-aged woman nearing forty. She was tall and thin, yet she had a penchant for wearing black. A large wavy hairstyle covered half her face, and her lips were a vivid, dripping red every single day.
As the manager of the New Life Chain Beauty Salon's Shangcheng District Branch, she managed four employees. She was usually extremely strict with her staff and very difficult to talk to. Because the store had performance quotas, and the quality of performance directly affected her own salary and bonuses as manager, she absolutely loathed it when employees asked for time off.
However, Zhang Xiaoli had just brought in a big customer that afternoon who, after merely experiencing a treatment, had directly paid for the Top VIP Package, which counted as a huge surprise for her.
At this moment, hearing that Zhang Xiaoli was going to dinner with a client, how could she possibly disagree? She hurriedly said with a smile, "Go, go ahead. Take good care of Sister Wei, and help me pass on my regards while you're at it. Oh, that's right, Xiaoli, what is your relationship with that Sister Wei? If it's convenient, introduce me to her too."
Hearing Luo Yufang's words, Zhang Xiaoli agreed with a smile on the surface, but inwardly, she let out a cold sneer.
This Luo Yufang, relying on her status as store manager, often snatched performance credit from her employees. Because she was the manager and had a good personal relationship with the Jiangzhou general agent, the other sisters in the store usually dared to be angry but dared not speak out.
But this time, Zhang Xiaoli was not prepared to indulge her anymore. From the contact at noon today, it was clear that Bai Weiwei was definitely a powerful backer. If she could hold on tight, not only would she never have to worry about her performance again, but it was even possible that...
Zhang Xiaoli didn't dare to think further, but her heart felt as if it were being scratched by a cat.
Her phone rang. Zhang Xiaoli glanced at the screen; it was Bai Weiwei calling, so she hurriedly answered.
"Hello? Sister Weiwei, I'm in the store. What? You're downstairs? So fast? Uh, okay, I'll come down right now."
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Xiaoli quickly grabbed her bag, greeted Luo Yufang, and went downstairs.
Watching Bai Weiwei disappear at the stairwell, Luo Yufang, who was giving a facial to a customer, hurriedly stood up and came to the window to look downstairs.
The other two employees who didn't have customers also leaned against the window, gossiping and curiously asking Luo Yufang about it.
"Manager, which one is Lili's big client?" one employee asked curiously.
"I don't know? I remember when she came this afternoon, she was driving a red Mercedes G-Wagon, it was so pretty, but it's not downstairs," Luo Yufang asked while looking.
"Hey, Manager, look at that car, it looks so big and so impressive!" another employee looked at a black SUV downstairs and asked excitedly.
Luo Yufang looked for a moment, didn't recognize it, and muttered, "Yeah, what car is this? It looks so big, but I've never seen this brand. Hey, Li Jie, you're knowledgeable, do you recognize it?"
The Li Jie that Luo Yufang mentioned was the customer she was currently giving a facial to. The two were old acquaintances, so Li Jie didn't get angry when Luo Yufang ran off to do other things halfway through.
Hearing her words at this moment, Li Jie, whose face was covered in a white, unknown liquid, kept her eyes closed and asked lazily, "What does the car emblem look like?"
"Let me see... the emblem seems to be a letter, maybe 'R'? There's a little person on the hood too. Hey, I remember now, is this a Rolls-Royce? I remember seeing pictures online, it seems like the big Rolls-Royces have a little person on them," Luo Yufang said hurriedly.
As a beauty salon manager, Luo Yufang had some knowledge of luxury cars, but among the clients she usually encountered, the highest level was BBA or Cayenne; she really hadn't seen anyone driving a Rolls-Royce, so she truly hadn't recognized this car.
"Let me see." Hearing Luo Yufang's description, Li Jie also became interested, stood up, and went to the window to look down.
The beauty salon was on the second floor, and from this position, one could see downstairs very clearly.
Li Jie only took one look and said, "That's a Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Looking at the configuration, it's at least the second-highest trim, maybe even the top trim. Rich people."
"Li Jie, how much does this car cost?" Hearing Li Jie's words, Luo Yufang asked curiously.
"Around ten million or so," Li Jie said while returning to the beauty bed to lie down.
"So expensive?" Hearing this price, Luo Yufang's eyes widened.
"It's alright. There are cars more expensive than this, but in Jiangzhou, anyone who can afford to drive a Cullinan is considered a somebody," Li Jie closed her eyes again and said lazily.
Just at this moment, an employee pointed downstairs and said, "Hey, Manager, look quickly, isn't that the big beauty who was getting a facial in our store this afternoon?"
Luo Yufang looked closely, and wasn't it? At this moment, the woman getting out of that Cullinan, wearing an LV little black dress and carrying the latest LV handbag, wasn't that exactly Bai Weiwei, who had signed up for the package in the store a few hours ago?
"It really is her. Wait, didn't she drive a G-Wagon before? Why did she change cars?" Luo Yufang asked in surprise.
"Rich people have many cars, what's so fresh about that? Hey, hurry up, come over and finish my treatment, the stuff on my face is sticky and uncomfortable!" Li Jie said with dissatisfaction.
"Yes, yes, coming right away." Luo Yufang said, coming over to continue the facial for Li Jie while still thinking about the Cullinan downstairs.
"My god, this is too rich. She drove a G-Wagon here just a while ago, and in the blink of an eye, she changed to a Cullinan. What does this woman's family do?" Luo Yufang couldn't help but say.
"Can a G-Wagon compare to a Cullinan? A G-Wagon is only two million or so, and there are at least a hundred G-Wagons in Jiangzhou, but there are definitely no more than five Cullinans," Li Jie said, also developing a bit of interest in Bai Weiwei, who was driving the Cullinan downstairs.
"Sister Weiwei!" Zhang Xiaoli went downstairs, saw Bai Weiwei, and immediately went up to call out affectionately, then immediately saw the Cullinan behind her.
"Eh? Sister Weiwei, isn't this Lin's car? Why didn't you drive that Mercedes?" Zhang Xiaoli asked somewhat strangely.
"Your Lin has some things to busy himself with at home and will come over later. I'll drive his car to pick you up first. We'll go shopping for a while, and when he's done, we'll go pick him up together. Let's go, get in the car quickly," Bai Weiwei said with a smile, then pulled open the driver's side door.
"Okay," Zhang Xiaoli replied, beaming with joy.
Women have no natural resistance to shopping, let alone shopping with a rich sister like Bai Weiwei.
Sitting in the luxurious Rolls-Royce once again and looking at the dreamlike starlight headliner, Zhang Xiaoli felt as if she were going to be intoxicated.
