Chapter 35 Beauty Care for Middle-Aged Men
The provincial high school entrance examination lasts four days, with the most important days being the first two days and the morning of the third day. Biology and geography on the morning of the fourth day are considered minor subjects and are not included in the total score for high school admission.
After the exam.
Instead of immediately estimating the children's scores, Lu Ming took them to Longtan Gorge Scenic Area for a trip.
Mei Yanping is too busy.
In the end, only Lu Ming, Xue Meiting, and Pan Li, the three adults, along with the four children, drove a seven-seater minivan to the scenic area.
Considering the special relationship between father and daughter and mother and son.
Instead of going to the hot spring resort, they went directly to the water park. In the afternoon, they rented a luxury yacht and took the children to play on the shore of the reservoir.
There is a designated shallow swimming area, and the surrounding area is full of lotus flowers, mainly pink, but there are also special varieties in purple and yellow, and even a number of koi that need to be fed.
Neither Xue Meiting nor Pan Li, the two mothers, dared to go into the water. Instead, they paddled in a rubber boat with Rui Rui to pick lotus flowers of different colors.
Lu Ming then led three boys into the water to swim.
They played until dark before driving back to the city.
Seeing that the children had all fallen asleep, Xue Meiting, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said to Lu Ming, "The terms offered by the province in restructuring the Jiangtai Group this time are indeed very generous, but several unfinished tourism projects also need to be completed, including the Longtan Gorge Scenic Area. It's really giving Mei Yanping a headache."
Lu Ming casually remarked, unsurprised, "The provincial level has never been one to be trifled with. The Jiangtai Group and Dongchen Group owe their current predicament to the combined efforts of both the provincial and municipal governments!"
Xue Meiting laughed and said, "It takes two to tango. The Jiangtai Group and President Yao of Dongchen Group have connections and influence in the province. They want to get their hands on this planned project and that support project, and that's how it ended up like this."
She makes a better point.
Ultimately, it's because the big bosses in the province are too greedy and their abilities are just so-so. Their rise to prominence was simply due to catching the right trend.
Lu Ming thought for a moment, then asked Xue Meiting, "Didn't you say you were going to spin off Jiangtai Group's real estate business and restructure it? Why didn't you do that?"
Xue Meiting, an industry insider, inquired more thoroughly and said, "It is said that the provincial leaders have given new conditions, with the focus still on ensuring the delivery of the houses. After Mei Yanping and the new investors did the math, they felt that they would not lose money."
"Why!"
Lu Ming estimated that Mei Yanping would be very busy these next few years and would have no time to take care of her son.
Faced with career and money, his son's middle school and college entrance exams were no longer important.
Xue Meiting suddenly pleaded, "Daming, I might also be assigned by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission to serve as the vice president of the Jiangtai Group, specializing in handling projects that guarantee the completion of housing transactions. Gao He will then be under your care. Why don't you just treat him like your son?"
"You're dreaming!"
Lu Ming made a sarcastic remark, clearly annoyed.
"Oh!"
Xue Meiting had a mischievous grin on her face.
At different stages of life, everyone makes new friends while gradually drifting apart from old friends.
In the Gaohe mothers' group, everyone has been playing together for several months and is quite satisfied with each other.
They are both very useful and helpful, and they are willing to help each other. They have also gradually developed a tacit understanding and ambiguous relationship as middle-aged men and women.
The next day.
Lu Ming continued to train at the gym early in the morning.
I happened to run into Mei Yanping and Xue Meiting, these two best friends who used to come over to practice on weekends, but now they've switched to the mornings.
Practice for half an hour before work.
They both used to exercise on treadmills, stationary bikes, and rowing machines, and Lu Ming would exercise with them.
During their breaks, the two of them would take a moment to practice squats.
Xue Meiting's appointment hadn't been finalized yet, so there was no need to rush to report to Jiangtai Group. After Mei Yanping started work, she said to Lu Ming, "Let's go to Pan Li's beauty salon for a treatment today. You're so handsome, you should take care of yourself!"
"That makes sense!"
Lu Ming surprisingly agreed.
The system's "Women's Influence" series of side quests no longer crazily increases body shape and appearance attributes, but still randomly selects from four attributes: constitution, body shape, appearance, and agility.
If one day I draw the appearance attribute again and raise my appearance to ten points, I'll need to find a reason.
The main entrance to Dijin Garden is on the south side, but the west gate of the entire community faces Jiangtai Commercial Plaza in Jiangbin New Area, which is undoubtedly more prosperous.
Pan Li's yoga studio is located on the third floor, while her beauty salon is located on the first and second floors. The expenses for decoration and equipment are also considerable.
She was overjoyed to see Lu Ming and her best friend Xue Meiting, and immediately invited them to a tea house for tea.
"I'll do the same thing as before: a facial toning and wrinkle removal treatment. But you should really consider giving Daming a full-body essential oil massage."
Xue Meiting smiled and picked up her teacup, teasing Lu Ming and her best friend Pan Li.
"Da Ming's skin is really good, but he still needs to pay attention to skincare. If he has just finished exercising, he can also have a rose essential oil massage, which also has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis."
Pan Li gave the recommendation quite earnestly.
"Set up a few long-term services based on the needs of male clients. I'll come over two or three times a week."
Lu Ming came here purely to spend money; the more he spent, the better, as this would explain his future changes in appearance.
Although it's not very convincing, it's at least an explanation.
The connections he'd built up in the provincial capital over the years were quite useful; he really couldn't bear to leave unless absolutely necessary.
Pan Li's beauty salon is a nationwide franchise, offering a wide variety of beauty services, including six major categories and more than forty types of services specifically for men.
Lu Ming was truly dazzled after seeing the brochure.
Pan Li herself is the owner of a beauty salon and has been doing it for more than ten years. She quickly helped him choose six services, which only require an average of one hour per day.
Most of them are maintenance massages for fitness training, plus two facial cleansing and anti-wrinkle skin rejuvenation treatments, but there is one that is a weekly full-body treatment with red peanut and ginger essential oil.
It costs over 30,000 a month, but since we're friends, I'll give you a 30% discount.
"Could you get me a Super VIP membership?"
Lu Ming's money all came from daily tasks, where he could withdraw gold directly by the gram. It was very easy to come by, and he transferred the money directly without even haggling over the price.
Beauty salons certainly have high profit margins, but the female technicians' salaries are not cheap either, after all, they are all pretty women, and Pan Li's beauty salon employs at least six or seven female technicians.
Of course I'm happy to make money.
Pan Li personally went to process VIP cards for Lu Ming and even personally gave him a mud facial massage to control oil and cleanse his face.
Xue Meiting chose another female technician to provide similar care.
Before receiving the treatment, you need to shower in the changing room and change into the beauty salon's bathrobe.
Lu Ming didn't believe these projects were very effective; he estimated they were negligible, and many were just purely psychological effects.
As long as these women believe it, that's all that matters.
After putting on his bathrobe, he asked Pan Li to take a few photos to share on his WeChat Moments.
Beauty and skincare for middle-aged men!
There was really no other way!
In the past few months, Lu Ming has lost contact with almost all his former friends. He doesn't dare to contact them or meet up for meals.
Photos can be beautified, making them less convincing.
When they actually met, not to mention others, his ex-wife Guo Haili could definitely see that he was different; he had definitely grown taller and more handsome.
He lay on the massage bed, letting Pan Li apply creams and lotions to his face, chatting about the children.
After chatting for a while, Pan Li sincerely exclaimed, "Da Ming, you are not only tall and handsome with a great body proportion, but your skin is also exceptionally good. You feel like a young man in his twenties."
"Wow, running a beauty salon is great! Even young men in their twenties get massages here?" Xue Meiting couldn't help but tease.
"There used to be a very handsome young man who frequently came to our shop for treatments. The female technicians were so happy, taking turns to have their way with him. Later, we found out that he also liked men!"
Pan Li suddenly told a funny story.
The middle-aged female technician who was giving Xue Meiting a treatment couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Xue Meiting continued teasingly, "Da Ming likes women, huh? He even chose a year-long full-body essential oil spa program. You guys can take turns getting massaged several times a month, how exciting!"
Upon hearing this, Pan Li and the female technician burst into laughter together.
Therefore, these middle-aged women, when they encounter handsome men, especially young men, are actually quite lustful.
