I Have Awesome Luck - Chapter 10
100% Luck
Being harassed by a male customer all of a sudden, Li Muyao was so terrified that she immediately put the showerhead, that produced hot water for washing hair, on the customer’s face.
It was the coldest day in Yang City in the last five years, so they used hotter water when they washed customers’ hair.
Li Muyao’s subconscious counterattack immediately angered the male customer who harassed her and he even said a lot of unpleasant things to Li Muyao.
For example, “You’re just a shampoo girl. What’s wrong with touching you? Are you worried that I won’t pay? I have a lot of money. I only wanted to touch you because you look pure. Which hair salon doesn’t sell their shampoo girls?”
For example, he swore at Li Muyao for being hypocritical and shameless.
…There were things that sounded even more unpleasant, so unpleasant that Li Muyao couldn’t bear any more. She put the employee rules she spent three days memorizing aside and stepped up to argue with that male customer.
Li Muyao was completely enraged at that time and she immediately shouted back at him. That male customer wasn’t as eloquent as Li Muyao and he tried to hit her. However, nobody had thought that the eighteen-year-old girl would be able to knock that stocky male customer down directly. She even forced the male customer to apologize to her. After that, he paid and left with a frustrated and gloomy look.
Li Muyao rose to fame since then.
But also since that time, Li Muyao started putting on punk-style makeup like the apprentices at the Hairdressing Department like Color Hair.
After all, Li Muyao realized later on that a hair salon really did the kind of sexual business the male customer mentioned in the name of a “hair salon.”
So, Li Muyao learned how to disguise herself, and at the same time, to pay attention to the bottom line of contact with male customers and be alert when talking to them.
Because of Li Muyao’s counterattack, the female apprentices at the Beauty Department dared not make trouble with Li Muyao. They might say something about her behind her back sometimes, but if they were unfortunate enough to be heard by Li Muyao, she would immediately teach them how to behave on the spot.
This was also the reason why Wu Lanqi was so surprised that Li Muyao didn’t fight back like usual when she heard the bad things Lin Hong and the others said about her, let alone teaching them a lesson.
She only felt a bit strange.
“I don’t think they’d dare to say anything outside. Besides, Color Hair and I are close friends like sisters and brothers.
“An upright person is not afraid of gossip.”
It wasn’t that Li Muyao didn’t care about what Lin Hong and the others said about Color Hair and her behind her back. It was because she still couldn’t react to the fact that she had truly returned to nineteen years old the moment she woke up.
That was why she closed her eyes dumbfoundedly. She wanted to see if she would return to her big, soft bed in her huge house after she closed and opened her eyes again.
The result made Li Muyao disappointed. There wasn’t a miracle!
“That’s right. Don’t care about those people!
“Muyao, I think you shouldn’t put on the punk-style makeup anymore. You look much better now than you used to be when you had make-up on.
“You’re a total beauty!”
Wu Lanqi still remembered how stunned she was when she first met Li Muyao. Li Muyao was indeed very pure and very beautiful a year ago. People could remember her face easily after a glance. And yet, after being harassed by male customers many times during the first month in the salon, she had never seen Li Muyao’s original appearance anymore.
Even though Li Muyao fought back and punched those shameless male customers several times when she was harassed, Li Muyao was harshly scolded by the managers of the Hairdressing Department and the Beauty Department, and half of her salary was even deducted.
So, being too beautiful was also a sin.
Just like Wu Lanqi, she was pretty but was slightly plump. When she went to the first floor to help customers wash their hair, she had never been harassed or groped by any male customer.
“Hm, when I get off today, I’ll ask Color Hair to dye my hair black again.”
Li Muyao must change her image. If not, she would also be scared to tears by her appearance.
After Li Muyao got ready, she talked to Wu Lanqi about things in the salon the last four days when she was on leave. When she heard pretty much everything, Lin Hong and the others came back with breakfast. They immediately put up a solicitous smile on their faces as they saw Li Muyao.
“Muyao, Lili and I want to get off early. Can you and Sister Lanqi take over us for an hour?”
“Right, Muyao, just say yes. We haven’t gone out for four days already. If you agree, we can bring you something good to eat when we get back. What do you think?”
Li Lili also convinced Li Muyao. They knew that once Li Muyao agreed, Wu Lanqi would have no problem as well.
When Li Muyao was on leave the last four days, Wu Lanqi had never agreed to take their shift even once. Lin Hong and Li Lili even said Wu Lanqi was Li Muyao’s lackey behind their backs.
“This is not my decision to make. I have to see if the manager is fine with it or not. If she has no problem with that, we’re okay!”
Before Li Muyao answered, she first looked at Wu Lanqi and replied after seeing her nod.
“I’ll talk to the manager. It should be fine. Finish your breakfast quickly. We’ll go to the salon together afterward.”
After getting Li Muyao’s consent, everyone at the breakfast table started talking about the gossip of a new customer happily.
Walking towards this familiar shop again, Li Muyao fell into a bit of a trance, but a voice pulled her back to this familiar yet unfamiliar salon.
“Muyao, if you’re coming to work, clean up all the rooms first, then change all the sheets of the salon beds to new ones and mop the floor.”
The person who asked Li Muyao to do chores was Li Muyao’s beautician teacher, Chen Shuping. She was twenty-seven this year and had been in this industry for ten years, so she was quite an experienced beautician. However, Chen Shuping was very petty and she refused to teach Li Muyao professional cosmetology knowledge. When their manager asked Chen Shuping to give Li Muyao a lesson, she always said something unimportant.
Or repeated the same point all the time.
This was why Li Muyao was willing to take over Lin Hong and the others. Li Muyao could get the notes of the classes they took throughout these years since they became apprentices. She didn’t know why she had already felt that Chen Shuping took an instant dislike to her since the first day she came to the salon as an apprentice.
After that, Li Muyao experienced Chen Shuping’s obvious evil intentions countless times.
In her last life, Li Muyao left this beauty salon she had been training at for three years partly because Chen Shuping targeted her and always made things difficult for her.
“Okay, Miss Chen.”
Li Muyao ran to the private beauty rooms obediently and started tidying things up.
