Chapter 164: Chapter 165: Booming Business

"Ms. Wu, there must be some kind of misunderstanding. He’s a man..." Sister Hu said, dumbfounded and reluctant to accept it.

"Sister Hu, that’s not the right way to look at it." Ms. Wu frowned. "He’s a man, yes, but his skill is incredible. What are we competing on here? It’s all about skill, isn’t it? His technique is top-notch, so what does it matter if he’s a man or a woman? When you’re in front of a doctor, do they differentiate between men and women? No. There’s only one thing: the patient!"

Sister Hu was left speechless by this, able to do nothing but stare.

"Young man..." Ms. Wu waved at Li Yang. "I’ll refer people to you, put in a good word. If you can’t make a living with skills like these, then who in this business even can?"

"Thank you, Sister Wu!" Li Yang said with a smile.

Beaming, Ms. Wu left.

Sister Hu looked completely baffled. "You... What kind of trick did you pull?"

Li Yang chuckled. "Sister Hu, what do you mean, ’what trick’? All I did was give her a massage. Don’t let your imagination run wild. By the way, Manager Gao, is there another client? Go on, send them in."

"Right away!" Manager Gao said excitedly.

This successful debut was a huge boon for Li Yang.

Sister Hu watched Li Yang with an awkward expression, still finding it hard to believe.

Meanwhile, Sister Wu was already in her group chat recommending Li Yang, singing his praises.

Even those who had initially been uncomfortable with the idea began to come around.

Just like that, without Manager Gao having to lift a finger, several other clients had already requested an appointment with Li Yang.

They all agreed, even after learning how high the price was.

Li Yang, in turn, won them over with his skill, and his reputation began to build through word-of-mouth.

That day, Li Yang attended to at least ten clients, and it was quite late by the time he finished.

Ten people—that was over three hundred thousand!

Manager Gao was nearly ecstatic. ’I’ve really hit the jackpot here.’

Furthermore, every client he’d served had told her that not only were his skills amazing, but he had a great personality, too. They all adored him.

"Alright, that’s enough for today. Time to clock out!" At ten o’clock that night, Manager Gao said with a smile, "Where do you live?"

"I... don’t actually have a place to stay yet." Li Yang slapped his forehead. He’d completely forgotten about that.

"Alright, just stay in the hotel tonight." Manager Gao gave a slight smile. "You’re our star asset now. The rest of us combined don’t make in a day what you do."

Li Yang didn’t object.

Manager Gao had already arranged for a meal in the back kitchen, so Li Yang just needed to go and eat.

While he was eating, he saw a few colleagues who were either starting or ending their shifts.

Zhang Li was there, too. She hurried over as soon as she saw Li Yang and asked in amazement, "How did you do it? Everyone is saying your technique is incredible."

Li Yang smiled faintly. "Sister Li, what do you think? Do you want to learn?"

Zhang Li smiled and nodded. "Would you teach me?"

Li Yang let out a hearty laugh.

"Oh, come on, teach me..." Zhang Li started to act cute. "You see how hard it is for a woman like me. I want to learn an amazing skill like that, too."

Zhang Li was quite beautiful. Tall with long legs, and she was at least a D-cup up top. She was definitely well-endowed.

Most men wouldn’t be able to resist her when she put on a cute act like that.

’This is my livelihood,’ Li Yang thought. He was truly reluctant to teach his secrets to someone else. ’Teach her and I’ll starve.’

But on second thought, ’This isn’t a job I can do long-term. Never mind that I earned over three hundred thousand today; my cut is only a little over a hundred thousand, and I have to keep this pace up for three days straight.’

’Still, it’s not worth it!’

After a moment of thought, Li Yang said, "Sister Li, it’s not impossible to teach you. How about this? You go talk to Manager Gao and see if she agrees. I can teach you, but... I’ll have to charge a tuition fee."

Zhang Li understood immediately. Her eyes lit up as she sat down closer to Li Yang and said with a grin, "You said it yourself."

"I did," Li Yang confirmed with a nod. "Go ask Manager Gao and see what she has to say."

"Deal!" Zhang Li was visibly excited, but she quickly followed up with another smiling question, "So, where are you staying tonight?"

"The hotel here," Li Yang said. "Manager Gao told me I could just sleep here."

"Oh, is that so..." Zhang Li said with a playful grin. "Are you familiar with the area? How about I show you around?"

Li Yang’s interest was piqued. He noticed an urgent look on Zhang Li’s face.

Li Yang smiled. "Sure. We can take a walk after dinner."

Zhang Li was overjoyed.

Since neither of them had to work, they headed downstairs for a walk.

By this time, however, the streets were already mostly empty.

Zhang Li turned to Li Yang. "It’s so hot out. I live just up ahead. Why don’t I go back and take a shower, and then we can come out again? By the way, want to come back with me?"

The invitation was obvious.

"Sister Li, you haven’t fallen for me, have you...?" Li Yang asked teasingly.

Zhang Li’s face flushed red, but she quickly looked up at him. "So what if I have? Are you coming or not?"

Li Yang knew what she really wanted was for him to teach her his massage techniques. He thought for a moment before saying, "Go hang out for a bit... Sure, why not!"

A look of delight spread across Zhang Li’s face. "Let’s go. Come back with me."
