Chapter 126: Discovering A Problem

This beauty salon was decorated magnificently. One look was enough to tell that it was a place specially reserved for the rich. Based on Chen Man’s familiarity when she shared about the place on their way here, she should be a regular customer of this store.

As soon as the two of them entered the house, a sharp-eyed front desk manager recognized Chen Man and quickly walked up to the woman. She greeted Chen Man familiarly, “Mrs. Huo, it’s been a long time since we last met. I didn’t expect your skin condition to be so good after not being here for so long!”

Chen Man probably knew the person who came as well. She nodded with a smile and answered very respectfully, “Recently, I’ve been using the essence set that you recommended for me the last time diligently. As I think it’s useful, I specially brought my daughter-in-law here to experience your salon today.”

Upon hearing Chen Man’s words, the receptionist’s eyes immediately lit up. In her heart, she was secretly celebrating that she was going to get another big deal.

Following Chen Man’s intentions, the manager turned his gaze to Mo Zhu, who had been standing quietly by the side since she entered the place. Seeing how obedient the girl was, the manager nodded and said, “Mrs. Huo, I believe this must be the daughter-in-law you’re talking about. The young lady is young and she looks like she has a good foundation.”

After being praised by the manager, Chen Man felt a little proud. And on the surface, she appeared even happier and proud. She immediately pulled Mo Zhu’s hand and entered the room. Before she left, she did not forget to say, “Let’s do the full set of skincare like the last time. Prepare the equipment for Xiao Zhu and I. We’ll start now.”

At this moment, Mo Zhu also followed Chen Man into the private room reserved for two. She had never been to such a place before. When the staff was preparing the equipment, Mo Zhu quietly observed this popular beauty salon.

In order not to make Chen Man wait too long, a young woman in the beauty salon’s uniform entered a few minutes later, pushing a small cart filled with bottles.

Seeing that someone had come, Chen Man immediately reacted. She pressed Mo Zhu down on the beauty chair and asked her to lay down. She said excitedly, “Xiao Zhu, quickly lie down and try it on. Let her examine your skin for you. The salon provides professional personalized and customized beauty products. After they’re done, I’ll customize a set for you to bring it back.”

Mo Zhu shook her head. She could not stand lying here and letting others smear the unknown ingredients in these bottles and jars all over her face. An idea flashed across her mind and she blinked slyly. “Auntie, you should do it first. I’m not used to it as it is my first time. Please give me a demonstration first.”

Chen Man patted Mo Zhu’s hand in understanding. She understood Mo Zhu and knew that the girl had asked this out of respect. Chen Man did not refuse and nodded with a smile before lying on another beauty chair beside Mo Zhu.

When the young woman pushing the small cart saw that Chen Man was already lying down, she took two steps forward and fixed the position of the cart beside the chair. She opened the containers that contained skincare products seriously and responsibly as she explained the process of the treatment to Chen Man.

Just as the staff was about to start cleaning Chen Man’s face, Mo Zhu quietly raised her hand and picked up a small bottle that was tagged with a number instead of the name of the product. She smelled it and instantly, a slightly pungent smell came from the mouth of the bottle.

Mo Zhu lowered her eyes and smelled it through the tip of her nose. After she had briefly analyzed the composition of the products in the bottle, her expression instantly turned cold. A glint flashed across her eyes as she suddenly looked up and grabbed the hands that the beautician had just soaked in the basin.

“May I ask which brand of skincare products are in these bottles your beauty salon uses?” Mo Zhu’s tone was clear and cold, and she looked a little unhappy.

The young woman who had her wrist held tightly by her obviously did not expect Mo Zhu to suddenly move like this. It was only after a long while that she recovered from her daze and mumbled to reply according to the words the manager had taught her during the training previously, “Miss, the skincare products here are all developed by our salon. Because of the special effects they have, they have not been publicly sold!”

Mo Zhu lowered her head and silently retracted her hand. She sneered and questioned, “Since it was developed by your salon, I wonder if it has been recognized by the country? If you have a permit, can you take it out for me to take a look?”

The staff was stunned when she heard Mo Zhu’s words. She had worked here for a long time, but she had never seen a customer ask for a permit. She did not know what to do for a moment. The young woman frowned and replied, “I… I have to report this to the manager. Please give me a moment!”

After saying this, the woman did not stay any longer. She quickly walked out and prepared to invite the front desk manager, the one who had talked to Chen Man previously, into the room.

Seeing this, Chen Man also sat up from the chair. Although she didn’t know why Mo Zhu suddenly had such a request, she had always doted on her. Since Mo Zhu wanted to see it, it didn’t hurt to ask the manager to take it out for the girl to check.
