Chapter 559: Chapter 056: Idle Talk

Xiao Yu or other hair-washing girls had many clients for smuggling, seemingly all the wealthy individuals who came for hair washes were their targets.

According to He Yuqing and Xiao Yu at the ’Saint Paris’ high-end hairdressing salon, the base salary was about four thousand, followed by a commission of about fifty yuan for washing a client’s hair.

However, they could wash the hair of at most three or four clients a day because each client needed an average of two hours for a hair wash, with each wash lasting half an hour, and four washes per visit. If they managed to wash four clients, their entire day would be gone.

Of course, with a full month of such earnings, the actual salary could be over ten thousand, but at the ’Saint Paris’ beauty salon, the number of staff was scheduled according to the number of appointments, so it was impossible for each hair-washer to have four clients every day.

Even so, with hard work, they could still make seven or eight thousand a month.

But for Xiao Yu and the other hair-washing girls, an LV bag could cost twenty to thirty thousand Yuan. With their income, they would have to save for two to three months without spending on anything else just to afford such a bag. How could she possibly refrain from eating and drinking just to buy such bags?

Xiao Yu liked handbags and showing off; there was no other way, she had to resort to smuggling.

In this world, there is no such thing as a free lunch, and smuggling was the quickest way for them to reap benefits. Like today, in just one afternoon, that Boss Song had already bought her a necklace worth several thousand yuan and a new handbag, with the total cost already exceeding ten thousand.

Xiao Yu looked at He Yuqing and Ye Qiu with contempt, then went back to Boss Song.

"Ran into someone you know?"

Boss Song asked.

"It’s that number eight colleague of mine. I thought she was so high and mighty, but turns out, she’s out dining with a driver dressed in plain clothes. Once you see she can tolerate such a man, it goes without saying what she’d do with other men."

In Xiao Yu’s eyes, He Yuqing must have been secretly smuggling, but since her smuggling partner was a young driver with little money, it proved that He Yuqing’s airs were feigned.

Boss Song looked over, and he found He Yuqing somewhat familiar. Hearing what Xiao Yu said, he recognized her as the number eight hair-washer.

In reality, He Yuqing was much prettier than Xiao Yu and the others, but He Yuqing didn’t dress up or have extra money to spend on new clothes and cosmetics, which made her appear much simpler.

Now, Ye Qiu and He Yuqing were sitting in front of the food, and Ye Qiu asked, "What is smuggling?"

He had been hearing the hair-washing girls talk about it all afternoon when he was getting his hair washed, and although he guessed the meaning, he couldn’t be completely sure.

"It’s privately, outside of work, accompanying clients out for fun to make money."

He Yuqing whispered.

When she first started working at that salon, she had heard about it, even the young hairdressers and stylists were quietly accompanying rich women for outings.

"This is smuggling?"

Ye Qiu asked.

It seemed not much different from prostitution, but it was only slightly more upscale.

"I’ve never gone, though I’ve been asked by clients. I just don’t want to do those things,"

He Yuqing whispered.

It wasn’t because she had some disease, but she was truly repulsed by it. If she really went through with it, she knew she would lose even the most basic human dignity and might end up just like Xiao Yu and the others.

Now she was just working, earning her own hard-earned money, and whatever her colleagues did to make quick cash by smuggling was their own business.

Seeing that Ye Qiu remained silent, He Yuqing continued, "I have my own bottom line and principles when it comes to living; no matter how poor or tired I am, I wouldn’t stoop to doing those things."

Ye Qiu could still hear Xiao Yu and Boss Song ridiculing him and He Yuqing; he hadn’t done anything to provoke Xiao Yu, but when she had washed his hair that afternoon, she had let water get into his ears twice. Now, why was she continuously mocking him for being poor in front of Boss Song?

As for He Yuqing, perhaps because she was different from the other female colleagues, she seemed somewhat self-righteous in their eyes. Xiao Yu would surely tell the other female colleagues about He Yuqing and Ye Qiu going out to eat when she returned to the Saint Paris high-class club.

"Mr. Ye, what else would you like to eat?"

He Yuqing’s mood wasn’t affected by Xiao Yu. Having spent so much money to come here for a meal, she wanted to enjoy it slowly, and besides, Ye Qiu had cured her illness, which was something worth celebrating.

He Yuqing had also made up her mind that since she and Ye Qiu had been spotted by Xiao Yu, once Xiao Yu got back to the Saint Paris club, she would surely gossip about her. He Yuqing knew that she couldn’t keep working at that kind of place for much longer and that she would need to find a new job.

But her family back home, including her parents and her younger brother and sister, kept demanding more and more money every month. If she quit her hair-washing job to do something else, would she be able to earn as much?

"I can take care of myself; go get what you like to eat!"

Ye Qiu said.

He Yuqing continued to fetch the food she liked to eat, while Ye Qiu sat and ate slowly. He knew that He Yuqing ate a lot and took her time, primarily because it was probably her first time eating such an array of seafood.

The two of them ate for about an hour. Ye Qiu was already full, but He Yuqing hadn’t had her fill yet. They still had another hour left to eat to their heart’s content because of the time limit.

However, Xiao Yu and Boss Song, not far off, seemed to have finished eating and were preparing to leave for a hotel.

For Boss Song, that was the ultimate goal.

Xiao Yu, too, had eaten her fill but came over looking smug and asked, "Ah Qing, do you have enough money to pay the bill? Do you need Boss Song to pick up the tab for you?"

This was clearly a buffet where one had to buy meal tickets to enter, and Xiao Yu’s comment was meant to mock Ye Qiu for not having money.

"Miss Xiao, we just bought our meal tickets to come in."

He Yuqing replied.

"That’s fine, then. Take your time."

Xiao Yu turned around and muttered under her breath, saying, "Pfft, a poor driver and a wannabe noble, it won’t kill you two paupers to choke on your food."

In her view, it must have taken a great effort for Ye Qiu and He Yuqing to come here for a meal, and they would surely make it last the full two hours before leaving.

He Yuqing didn’t hear that remark, but Ye Qiu heard it loud and clear, and he found such a woman truly disgusting.

Xiao Yu clung to Boss Song’s arm, intentionally pressing her ample bosom against him, and then they left the buffet restaurant.

Once those two had left, He Yuqing felt much more at ease eating her meal.

Of all the shampoo girls, the one she disliked the most was Xiao Yu, whom she had just encountered. As for the other female colleagues, they didn’t really bother her.
