Chapter 5: A surprise victory

The arrogance that Aunt Sun used to me was not acceptable to ordinary people. In order not to think that my father was disappointed again, he had to make a good show this time. However, if he wanted to make a good show, he could not offend Sun Dazhu, nor could he let all employees part in disagreement. Therefore, he had to endure this tone and bow to her with a big bow.

I believe that if a boss bows to any employee, he will receive polite rewards from the other party. However, this aunt Sun turned a blind eye to him and said sarcastically: I want to live a few more years, so I don’t have to worship me!

I glanced at the corner of my eyes and saw Zi Shuang catching Zhang Min tightly, so I said with peace of mind: Aunt Sun, this ceremony is not a worship, but a respect from the younger generation to the seniors, respect your makeup skills, make countless deceased happy, respect your dedicated and happy life, the time and energy you put in, respect you to cultivate a new generation of successors, allow this craft to be continued, and benefit the suffering. Therefore, the respect from the upper and lower levels is worthy of you, and you deserve it!

Aunt Sun looked at me with confusion and said: I didn't expect that you would respect the dead makeup artist so much at such a young age. I guess you heard the news that I was going to change jobs and deliberately kept it with kind words.

I immediately said with certainty: No! The acquisition of the funeral home has always been followed by an accountant. I have never asked about it. I am ashamed. Half an hour ago, I knew there were so many employees here, but what I want to see the most is you. After all, you are the pillar of the funeral home and the makeup artist I have always respected the most

Aunt Sun looked at me from head to toe and said: OK! Since you respect me so much in the industry and now flatter me in front of everyone, I must have something to ask for. What is the matter? Open the skylight...

I pointed at Tingting and signaled her to walk forward, and then said to Aunt Sun: I want you to accept her as your disciple!

In an instant, there was a sound of surprise, and Aunt Sun, Tingting, and even Fangqi, stared at me in surprise. Zhang Min finally couldn't help but jump out and said: Longsheng, how could you let Tingting and this mother... learn this craft! I was the first to object!

Fortunately, Zhang Min didn't say the word "媺" so she refuted her: Zhang Min, I know what you think. Many people even think that applying makeup for the dead is an ugly industry, but have you ever thought that the one who can really help the deceased get the last moment is the makeup artist. Just think about it, if there is no makeup artist behind it, how to hold a ceremony to pay tribute to the remains. Even if there is, I am afraid the deceased would not want his relatives and friends who come to see his ugly side...

Zhang Min still said dissatisfiedly: Then why do you choose Tingting instead of me? Before acquiring the funeral home, didn’t you say that I could learn to put on makeup by dead people?

Aunt Sun asked curiously: Have you ever thought about letting them learn to put on makeup before?

I sighed and said: Well, I did say that I asked her to learn makeup skills before, but I paid attention to it for a while, for fear that she would not be able to be competent and not competent, so she was replaced by...

Aunt Sun stared at Tingting and said to herself: Can she be OK?

After hearing this, Zhang Min was indignant and walked up to me and said furiously: Why am I not "righteous" enough?

I put my hand on Zhang Min and said: Zhang Min, even if you have enough "righteousness", you are not patient enough, and willfulness is a fatal injury. There is no way to achieve a balance between the two. It is a natural mortal enemy!

Zhang Min shook off my hand and said: What kind of "righteousness" and patience do you need? Otherwise, I will not accept it!

I explained to Zhang Min: OK! Let me tell you, before becoming a makeup artist, you must undergo the test of "righteousness". In the first three days, you don't need to do anything. You just need to sit in a room with a corpse, an oil lamp, an air conditioner, and a chair. The time will take place from 6pm to 12pm late at night. The master will occasionally come in to see you, but don't expect the master to talk, because this is a test period for accepting concentration and patience.

Zhang Min said: Is there any more?

I continued: Of course, in the next seven days, the master will observe changes in the apprentice, such as whether vomiting, fever, dizziness, nightmare, and serious illnesses occur. This is also the most important point before the recruitment. If anything happens, it means that the three days of sitting there are insufficient yang energy, few positive energy, and low evil energy, and cannot withstand the magnetic field of yin energy and spiritual energy. Even a bold person is useless, because the subsequent reaction is the report of whether the eight characters and five elements can withstand the yin energy. Also, the corpse that has been sitting there for three days may not be healthy.

Zishuang asked: If you pass the seven-day test, what will happen?

I replied: After passing, it means that the master has been successful. At the beginning, I will only stand aside to do simple work and study on objects. Until I saw ten corpses, the master will ask the apprentice to touch the complete corpses and do some simple makeup. The corpses with broken hands and rotten hands are of course used by the master for performances and teaching materials.

Zishuang said to Tingting: It sounds very simple, why not give it a try. If it really doesn't work, don't force it.

Tingting asked: What should we do to deal with the body?

I simply said: Tingting usually takes preservatives, showers, make-up, wears shrouds, etc. for the body, but I don’t know much about the in-depth work. After all, I am not a makeup artist, what Aunt Sun said

I handed the problem to Aunt Sun so that she could have the opportunity to show her majesty in front of everyone and the boss

Aunt Sun smiled and asked me: Haha! I didn’t expect that, boss, you have indeed conducted in-depth discussions on the makeup industry of dead people. It seems that your respect for makeup artists is not fake. Do you know what taboos are there to wear shrouds for the deceased?

I don't have to think about it and answer directly: I must start with my feet, such as socks, shoes, pants, skirts, tops, and so on, which means that I can go to heaven and avoid the suffering of falling into hell

Aunt Sun said: That's right! I know a lot. Another job is to stuff cotton balls soaked in bleach into every hole in the corpse to prevent blood from flowing out of the body and scaring others.

After hearing this, Tingting said: It shouldn’t be very difficult. The question is whether the eight characters and five elements can be passed?

I said to Tingting: The eight characters and the five elements need to be accurate according to the reaction report. Now I don’t know if Aunt Sun is willing to give you this opportunity?

Aunt Sun thought about it and then asked me: I have never seen this lady, she should not be an employee here. Who is she? A distant relative?

I shook my mind and said: No! She is my ninth concubine

Aunt Sun said in surprise: She is your ninth concubine? Isn’t that the boss’s wife?

I said to Aunt Sun: Yes, I might as well tell you that there are several corpses in the cold room downstairs that are my relatives, and one of them is even more I want to marry. However, I asked Tingting to take you as my teacher because I hope that her youngest sister can personally send me the last piece of care to my wife of the ghost marriage on behalf of us. Regardless of whether Aunt Sun can agree or not, the Shao family will be grateful to you. I wonder if there is any problem?

Zhang Min said: Aunt Sun, tell you that Tingting is wronged. There are bones left in the cold room. That is her sister. Even if she learns makeup, she cannot use it on her sister. Do you think she is pitiful enough?

Aunt Sun shook her head, then walked towards the door and said: It turns out that there are several reasons inside. Since you can make the boss a dead makeup artist, what else can I say? In short, I will listen to your boss in the future. Let her call her master...

Tingting immediately shouted: Master!

Aunt Sun finally agreed to accept Tingting as his apprentice. Although her horoscope and five elements could pass the test, Aunt Sun was willing to accept Tingting as his apprentice, indicating that she had stabilized her heart. With her status in the funeral industry, the problems that arise in the funeral home are no longer a problem, and there is no need to worry about Mrs. Wuchang's silver bullet policy; she is old and does not lack money for it.

Aunt Sun, the most difficult-to-cope among employees, has been tamed by my sincerity, so other employees are naturally not a problem. Finally, I made a few more encouraging speeches and made some promises of employee benefits. Everyone happily accepted me, the new boss, and this meeting of meeting with employees finally ended successfully.

Back in the office, Zhang Min and Fang Qi were a little dissatisfied with me suddenly asking Tingting to take Aunt Sun as her teacher, and frequently complained. The two apprentices also had some complaints, but they just didn't dare to say it in front of me. As for the other people, they never spit out words, but the dissatisfied expression on their faces was overwhelming.

Only my father understood my intention and said to everyone: Well, everyone sitting in the room now is my own people. I might as well tell you that you shouldn’t complain about Long Sheng. In fact, his performance was beyond my expectations. The shopping mall is like a battlefield. The so-called capturing the king first to capture the thief. You must stabilize the morale of the army here. If you don’t want the company to make mistakes, capturing Aunt Sun is the king here, which will save you a hundred days of worry!

Zhang Min said dissatisfiedly: There is no need to Tingting to face the dead body!

The father smiled and said: It was not Long Sheng's decision to whether Tingting was an apprentice or not, because the initiative in the reaction three days later was still in Tingting's hands. Long Sheng mainly used the relationship between master and apprentice to test Aunt Sun's reaction. Have you forgotten that you had seen that arrogant and powerful face before coming in? If it were you or me, I'm afraid you might not be able to tame her easily.

I said: Tingting, actually, I hope you can pass the test successfully and send the last piece of care to Leng Yue on behalf of us, but I will never force you, after all, this industry...

Tingting immediately said: Longsheng, if you choose me as a makeup artist, there must be your reason. Even if there is no reason, I really hope to send my last care to Sister Leng Yue. As for the test of dead people, I can definitely pass it. After all, I have encountered many dead people in the hospital before.

My father said: Tingting, I love you right, remember, you must learn from Aunt Sun. Longsheng’s funeral home will depend on you in the future, the pillar of the future!

Fangqi couldn't help laughing and said: Now I finally understand, Tingting unknowingly got on Longsheng's pirate ship again

The teacher’s wife asked Fangqi: Fangqi, what kind of pirate ship did Tingting get on Longsheng?

Fangqi smiled and said: Yuling! Tingting has become Aunt Sun's apprentice. Does Longsheng still need to go to work?

Sir Deng suddenly realized and smiled and said: Oh! The master is the master, I admire him!

Everyone couldn't help laughing!

My father said: Longsheng, do you know what did you do successfully at the reception just now?

I replied to my father: I can tame Aunt Sun, but no one in the funeral world dares to say that I am a layman

My father stared at me in shock for a moment, nodded and said: It turns out... you were deliberately planning... You really shouldn't be a Feng Shui master, you should be a businessman. It seems that my business has someone to succeed...

At this time, a female employee knocked in and told me that the person I wanted to meet was waiting outside the door.

I immediately said: Call them in...

The teacher's wife asked me curiously: Longsheng, who do you want to meet? Are the employees here? Do we need to go out?

I said: Well, everyone doesn’t have to go out. The person who came in is the employee who was responsible for designing the spirit cards and stone tablets. You might as well take a look together and give some advice by the way

After several employees came in, everyone began to discuss the design of Leng Yue and the spirit plaques and stone tablets of the cold room. Finally, they also discussed the arrangements for the ghost marriage, and everything was very satisfactory.

Fangqi and Lawyer Bao were anxious to leave for the sake of President Jiang's affairs. Zishuang took Tingting and Zhang Min to inspect the environment, and her father and Sir Deng didn't want to stay here for too long, because there were so many people quarreling at night, so they finally sent Qiaolian home on my behalf. However, before leaving, my father was very shocked about President Jiang and told me to try my best to maintain the reputation of the Timber School, and never let President Jiang and Leng Yue down.

Everyone left. There was a teacher's wife who could accompany me, but she insisted on accompanying Zishuang to patrol the environment, leaving me alone in the office, talking about the truth. The funeral home office was not easy to sit, and I always felt the wind was blowing, and occasionally I heard the sound of talking. The 36 strategies were still the best strategy. I decided to go to Yang Baojin and look at the gold diamond jewelry. It was better than staying in this place where people and ghosts were in contact.

When I walked to the door, the mobile phone suddenly rang. The number displayed was a strange number. I knew it in my mind and thought about who came to me. After answering the call, I was right. The person who called was Kaitlyn.

Press the answer button and said: Who is it?

The other party said: Hello, Master Longsheng, I am Kaitlin

I pretended to be unexpected and said: Oh! It turned out to be Miss Caitlin, is there anything to do with me?

Caitlin said: Master Longsheng, I have discussed with Zhang Xiumie and I have probably failed to meet your requirements. If you have time, say it again in front of her, you may have a chance.

Caitlin's words were very contradictory. Since she could not meet my requirements, why did she meet me again? And it also explained that she might have a chance in front of Zhang Xiumie. What is the chance she was referring to? But after thinking deeply, she felt that she was hinting to me. Could it be that she wanted to get a higher return?

I originally wanted to lose my temper and scold Caitlin, but I thought that Zhang Xiumèi was a Miss Intercontinental and a Global Youth Ambassador, and was worried that after passing this village, I didn’t have this store. Finally, I reminded myself that if I wanted to buy a good store from a capable broker, I would have to pay more commissions, otherwise I could only salivate and watch others open the store’s door.

I said readily: Time, place?

Caitlin said: Shijian Square, Galaxy Tian Chinese Tea Lounge on the fourth floor, is the shopping mall you mentioned to me this morning that we had seen our company's products. Now we are nearby, so you can tell me the time, how about it? Or we should accommodate you, it doesn't matter if we change the location, where are you?

I replied: Funeral home!

Caitlin said in surprise: Ah? Funeral home?

I sneered in my heart: Half an hour has arrived! That’s it!

After intercepting Caitlin's phone call, she looked at her desk and saw a box of business cards, which were placed aside. So she took it and saw that it was indeed my new business card. However, this business card was not acceptable to many people, especially for older people. Finally, she picked a few and put them on her body, and notified the secretary to tell Yuling that I would leave first. In fact, she was not a secretary, but just a clerk, because the teacher's wife had not arranged for me at all.

When we arrived at Jian Square, we were almost six o'clock. I believe that we would not have a long talk with Caitlin this time. We should still have time to meet Yang Baojin's manager. Even if we don't go today, it's okay. We can change our appointment tomorrow. Anyway, I am a customer, and I am also a distinguished guest of Yang Baojin. I have the final say when I meet her.

Instead of taking the elevator, but deliberately working hard on the escalator four times, mainly to appreciate the beauty in the mall. After all, this mall takes a high-end route, which is not expensive and famous items, so it is difficult to survive here, and it is impossible to appear here. Therefore, the ladies who appear are either young and beautiful or elegant and luxurious. They will never meet Aunt Sun.

Today's luck seems not very good. During the prime time of get off work, I took the escalator four times and couldn't meet a beautiful woman. When my eyes lit up, I saw a beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam skirt, but she was a public relations lady from Galaxy. It was really disappointing.

The cheongsam lady seemed to know me. After saying the three words "please here", she turned around and let me appreciate it. The hips that were stretched up by her high heels, and intentionally or unintentionally, let me see the spring light on the inner side of the jade legs inside the slit skirt.

Caitlin and Zhang Xiumie met me and stood up politely to say hello to me. My eyes naturally shifted to the chests of the two beauties, with smooth and slender legs inside and raised and firm balls. I prefer the latter. Undeniable that the lady with the title, whether it is the Big Dragon or the Little Dragon, has been regarded as the incarnation of the fairy descending to earth, listed in the pure and innocent clan, a rare and precious column.

I took out a golden thousand-yuan bill and handed it to the cheongsam lady who was in charge and said: I will reward you!

The flattered cheongsam lady hurriedly thanked: Thank you! Thank you Master Longsheng!

I smiled and said to the two beauties: It turns out that there are quite a few people who know me. Sit, don’t stand...

Zhang Xiumèi said timidly: Who wouldn’t know Master Longsheng’s name? Hello!

The cheongsam lady who got the benefits poured tea for me, and my eyes were only staring at Zhang Xiu and Caitlin. The beautiful and brilliant ones were as bright as peony flowers. The two rows of snow-toothed cherry mouths vaguely revealed an infinite charm. Caitlin, who was standing beside Zhang, cast a tempting look on me, and the familiar and charming body fragrance hit me again, and was unable to control myself!

Caitlin asked me politely: How expensive is this magnolia? Do you want to eat something?

I stared at Zhang Kai and his wife's chest and said: What I want to eat, but I can't eat, what I want to see, I'm looking forward to, Magnolia is not as expensive as Zhang Kai, right?

Caitlin immediately replied: Don’t say it so explicitly. Tea can only be seen and soaked, so how can it be eaten?

As expected, this cup of tea was sacrificed for the sake of the price. I sneered: The meaning of the words, this cup of tea is confirmed to be magnolia tea, but it has not been confirmed yet. Is it a expensive grade in the magnolia series?

Caitlin smiled and said: Master Longsheng is indeed extraordinary, and his words are amazing. Yes, there are precious grades, precious, noble, and rare. Global and Intercontinental already have three precious things, but the two intercontinentals combined together can be said to be rare and expensive.

It turns out that Caitlin is also a Miss Intercontinental. If both of them are Miss Intercontinental, it would be very expensive and wonderful!

I asked Zhang Xiumie directly: So, what grade is this magnolia ranked in? Is this the first time you are...drink it?

Zhang Xiumèi blushed and said shyly: I don’t understand the expensive grade of magnolia. I have never drunk it five times since I know how to drink tea.

Caitlin immediately added: Three times the tea was overheated and could not be drunk, and accidentally burned it on her body. After that, she became afraid of the tea. The last time she drank tea was before winning the championship, two and a half years ago...

I changed my goals and said: Then are you a master of tea tasting?

Caitlin blushed and said generously: I am ashamed! I only have confidence in the teapot at home. I have never liked to drink tea outside and never used a second teapot, so I can't be called an expert. The time was three years ago. Because the teapot cracked and I couldn't concentrate on a cup, I lost my sense of security in tea. In addition, I had no time to find another teapot, which made you laugh...

I nodded and picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it on the table and said: This tea is good, but unfortunately it has been picked by people, and it has the secular spirit and has lost its original flavor. However, it has been well preserved and has not been oxidized by air for a long time. But I wonder if this tea is only sold for ornamental rolls or for drinking rolls?

Zhang Xiumèi blurted out: Only selling ornamental scrolls, sorry, I lost my etiquette...

Caitlin nodded and said: If you don’t leave, you will worry about a hundred horses…

After all, it's all nonsense. The price of selling skills but not selling yourself is not cheap. I just want to make me angry. It seems that I don't have to use any concealment words, so I decided to use humiliating words directly.

I said with displeasure: What price do you plan to sell?

Zhang Kai and the two beauties, heard what I said, blushed and shyly stunned each other. For a moment, it seemed difficult to face the scene of being straightforward. With trembling hands, they only knew how to pick up the teacup and drink it.

I asked again: What is the price of selling arts or not selling body?

Zhang Xiumèi pushed Caitlin's elbow, Caitlin gritted her teeth and said in a relaxed tone: We did not come out to sell this time, but we are willing to come out to negotiate with you, mainly to respect you as a celebrity, and your enthusiasm for our company's products, so when you are voluntarily, you will reluctantly... demonstrate it in front of you... But the ultimate goal is to increase your confidence in the product, and I hope you can understand our starting point.

I asked back: It's that simple? No additional charges? There is a free lunch in the world? It's unbelievable...

Caitlin immediately replied: We love the company's products as much as you, and we hope that our family can have the equipment you choose, but this hope can only be a hope for us. Unless we get generous gifts from you, we two women without teapots can borrow tea to relieve the heat.

Caitlin's methods are indeed not simple. Although she doesn't charge money on the surface, she asks me to buy twice as many items. In other words, they can get twice as many discount commissions, and their performance has increased greatly, and it is even possible to cash out the items. It's really not simple!
