Chapter 36: Facing Emotional Adversaries
"I'm so happy, we can finally go home from work." In the small workshop, there was a hoarse sound like a dry howl.
"Really! Obviously there were no guests for an afternoon, why did Sister Minhe have to leave us to sit stupidly for half an hour?! I wonder what's going on in their heads? Isn't there a family option in their lives?! ”
"People who seem to have no life experience basically have no empathy, so they can do some ridiculous things that point the deer as a horse, confuse right and wrong, or even put the cart before the horse!" Outside the door, colleagues were chattering.
Li Chengmei's fingers tapped on the corner of the massage table, and within a few minutes, she felt a sense of anxiety that she had never felt before, and finally, after she had been talking to her mobile phone for a while, she still made a call to the teacher.
"What wind is blowing you?! It's been a long time since I've seen you, but your skin now looks like a moist and plump lychee, and I'm thrilled even if you're a woman! ”
If it weren't for Han Sun-hee (Song Joo-hyun's pseudonym) to intervene sideways, Lee Seung-mi would have enjoyed a relaxed and comfortable off-duty time with those aunt-level colleagues at this time.
"I haven't seen you in a few days, ma'am! Are you going to do a face-conditioning project today? Recently, there is a discount in the store where you can give you two free face masks that are the main face mask of our store. Because he saw that Jung Min-ha, who was in charge, was also observing Han Sun-hee (Song Joo-hyun)'s face, Lee Seung-mi decided to strike first.
"I really haven't seen you in a few days? The subtext is that we've met and interacted well with each other. But, after thinking about it, I don't think I have such a relationship with you, aunt?! And when you come up, you are conditioning your face and what kind of discounts, giving facial masks and the like, I think it's hard to accept. ”
As soon as Jung Min-ha left on his front foot, Song Joo-hyun pointed his voice at Lee Seung-mi as if he had already prepared everything.
"Really? I'm sorry I didn't take into account your feelings. Lee Seung-mi's low-eyed appearance made Song Joo-hyun feel very satisfied.
"It's okay, although I have reservations about your service attitude, auntie. But turning around and leaving without spending a penny is really not in line with my identity. Let's start with a project that takes the least amount of time. Seeing Lee Seung-mi's bewildered appearance, Song Joo-hyun pretended to be calm and said.
"Oh yes, take the vase from the window before you go to get ready! The house looks too messy and it will arouse my OCD! "Wait a minute, it's too hot, you go and turn down the air conditioner first." ”
"The air conditioner, yawn, already, it's already done!" Seungmi's voice was weak and weak, like a chick that had just come out of its shell.
"Yawn, sorry guest."
Three times five divided by two repaired Lee Seung-mi, through the curtain, looking at Seung-mi's busy back, Song Joo-hyun secretly thought about the next cycle tactics in her heart.
Seungmi didn't deliberately not answer the teacher's call back, but the place she was in at the moment was very noisy, and that noisy energy would always hang her whole mind, so that she couldn't feel the phone vibrating in her jacket pocket at all. But since she just lay down, Song Joo-hyun frequently saw reflective pockets, so she simply changed to a brisk voice.
"I didn't fully recover from my last trip to the Aegean Sea, so why don't you add a whole body management program for me?"
"Oh! So you've been to the Aegean Sea before! No wonder Sister Minhe is full of praise for your sun-colored skin! Li Chengmei slowly squirmed her fingers and said frankly.
"I forgot to tell you just now, go and pour me a glass of warm water." Suddenly, Seungmi also saw the flickering pocket, but just as she was about to take it out and reply to the message, a cold voice came from in front of her.
"I'm going to add fresh lemon slices to the lukewarm water, if you pour it well, pour me a new glass, even if the water temperature is slightly off, the taste will not be good."
"Oh! Got it, so please wait. ”
Before Li Chengmei turned to leave, she specially pressed the switch, and the dim room suddenly lit up. After flashing her eyes twice, Song Joo-hyun looked at the cute (hateful) woman in front of her. Perhaps realizing that someone behind him had been staring at him, Chengmei's face was slightly hot. Even the skillful movements are a little jerky.
"I'm back with water, I'll give you a drink." Like a mother, Lee Seung-mi holds the cup in one hand and turns the straw in the other.
"It's so cool! Didn't I ask you to give me a glass of warm water?! And what kind of lemon did you put in there? Acid kills me! After retching for a while, Song Joo-hyun asked as if arguing.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm pouring warm water. And the lemon I specially asked Sister Minha to borrow the import... You, why don't you wait a minute, and I'll pour it for you again. Song Joo-hyun's low shout was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for Lee Seung-mi, and before she had time to catch her breath, she ran towards the small kitchen.
"Come on, I'm not drinking! Hmph, do a woman like a family aunt like you know that there is a word called hourly wage? My ten minutes are precious, how can I spend so much time here with you! Song Joo-hyun shouted loudly, like a roar. Seungmi's eyes turned red. However, the thought of receiving a complaint would make a week's work in vain, so she soon lost her energy, and then sat back on the massage table sullenly, but her eyes were still filled with tears.
"Hey! What did I say, why are you arrogant like this?! It's like I'm trying to make things difficult for you. Please, I'm spending money to enjoy it, but I'm not spending money to see you sulking. Song Joo-hyun nervously slapped Seung-mi's water glass next to the massage table to the ground. Seungmi was so angry that she had nothing to say, and after bowing her head and pondering for a while, her humble will became even stronger.
Outside the window, the weather seemed to be very hot, and the rolling heat wave was jumping between the dense branches.
"Hey! Don't you think it's cold in the house? Turn up the air conditioner a little bit! Seung-mi, who suffers from congenital rhinoinflammation, has a deep resistance to sudden cold and heat, which is not only known to herself, but also to Song Joo-hyun, who is lying on the massage table.
"Okay, okay." Song Joo-hyun's lips always had a sneer full of indifference, but Seung-mi saw it but didn't see it. Even though the wings of her nose felt as if they were being pricked by a myriad of needles, she returned to her seat with a bow.
"I'm squeezing toothpaste, am I?! Do you think it's warm in the house? Song Joo-hyun shouted loudly again with all her strength, Seung-mi hugged her shoulders and shivered, and after gritting her teeth and resetting the temperature, her eyes quickly turned from anger to calm again.
"Well, then I'm back on the move. You, your skin is just perfect. I've never been to the Aegean Sea once, but I guess the sun must be nice there. Chengmei squirmed her fingers absent-mindedly and absent-mindedly, but according to the concept of rejuvenation of the medicine hand, as long as the customer is not sighing for a long time, no matter how busy he is, he can't leave people aside. So she had to bite the bullet and show a look of excitement and enthusiasm.
"Well, Ms. Seon-hee, according to my years of work experience, no matter how beautiful the skin is, you must pay attention to daily care. The skin care management in our store is also very good, especially there is a skin rejuvenating skin cream that has traveled across the ocean..."
"Hey! Your product promotion is too obvious! Is this a must-do task from your supervisor?! Ash! Ten sentences or one sentence, isn't it all a regular lie anyway! ”
The cold words immediately ignited the anger in Seung-mi's heart, but after gently looking back at Song Joo-hyun's eyes, she smiled helplessly.
"You don't have to be nervous, if you sell that kind of product, auntie, you will get some commission, right?" The words caused Chengmei's face to darken, and her whole body trembled like chaff.
Song Joo-hyun tilted her head sideways, and the mockery at the corners of her lips gradually turned into a touch of coldness.
"Also, it's hard to even support yourself with your little salary, right?" Song Joo-hyun's black and white eyes flashed with abrupt disdain. "Therefore, whether it is a product or a conscience, as long as it can be auctioned and priced, it has to be brought out and sold!"
One cruel sentence after another, Chengmei was so angry that she smiled bitterly. She had no choice but to slowly close her eyes and comprehend the feeling of heartache with her heart. But Song Joo-hyun shouted even more proudly: "Wait a minute, you can give me a few samples for free, I will come to you to buy them if I am comfortable." After all, Auntie, your situation is too pitiful, and the money for a meal can solve your survival crisis for a short time, why don't I do it?! ”
"Well, thank you so much." Despite the choked words in her throat, Seungmi's face was still filled with a polite smile.
"Oops! It's too hot again! Please go and turn down the air conditioner a little more. Song Joo-hyun fooled Seung-mi again, who sat on the sidelines and remained silent.
At the same time, the phone lit up. Chengmei hurriedly followed the light to look, and when she saw the flashing avatar, she couldn't help but open her mouth wide.
Mother: Seungmi, your sister is missing. I've searched the whole park, but I can't find her.
After reading the first message, Chengmei's eyes widened as if she had suddenly realized.
"That Ms. Seon-hee, I'm really sorry. It was a particularly important call and I will be back soon. ”
Seungmi panicked and ran to the information desk with her hot phone, which was as hot as a potato. But without waiting for Chengmei to ask, the mother on the other side of the phone ended her head and face.
"Mom, please stop talking about the process, is my sister home safely now? Oh, what a blessing! ”
Seung-mi, who returned to the room, burst into tears, and in order not to affect Song Joo-hyun's experiential mood, she could only roll her eyes desperately and blankly before re-entering the work state.
