"Director Li, do you think this hairstyle suits me?" Tang Song looked terrible.

Li Wen quickly explained, "Don't get worked up. Your hair is relatively soft, so you need pomade or wax to help style it, otherwise the effect won't show. Handsome, go wash your hair first, then I'll set it for you."

Hearing that, Tang Song relaxed a little. "Okay!"

After washing his hair, he returned to the VIP Room.

Li Wen first blow-dried his hair, then applied some pomade to the top of his head and used his hands to gradually work in texture, creating a fluffy look. Finally, he used setting spray to hold it in place.

Overall, it looked somewhat like it had been permed. Combined with his face shape, it was much more pleasing to the eye than before—at least it wasn't ugly.

Tang Song opened the System Interface and took a look. His Charm had returned to 25.

Seeing that Tang Song had calmed down, Li Wen enthusiastically said, "Your hair volume and texture are indeed a bit lacking. If you want results, you'll have to style it like this every day. It takes a lot of time.

"I suggest getting an Air Perm directly. That way, the volume can last for a long time. It's convenient and looks good.

"There's an event at the store today. I can give you a twenty percent discount. If you get it dyed as well, you can also enjoy..."

Before he could finish, Tang Song interrupted him. "I have something urgent to do at noon. I don't have time."

Li Wen smiled awkwardly. "Then come back when you have time. Please wait a moment, I'll call the Eyebrow Specialist over."

Tang Song nodded and said nothing more.

He had reason to suspect that this Tony had known from the beginning that his hair texture couldn't support this hairstyle.

The goal had been to talk him into perming and dyeing it too, then make a killing off him.

Zhao Yaqian was a Beautician who had only recently entered the industry.

Because she lacked experience and wasn't particularly eloquent, she had struggled to find a job.

Including base salary, commission, and performance bonuses, she made around four thousand a month.

It wasn't much, but thanks to the perks of her profession, she saved money on skincare products and cosmetics.

Those had been the biggest part of her monthly expenses.

Unexpectedly, after less than half a year of stability, her workplace was facing the risk of closure due to operational difficulties and a broken cash flow.

The boss still owed them two months' salary.

Sister Li, the Beautician responsible for training her, had already bailed with her bags packed and found another job.

As a newcomer, she had instantly become the store's mainstay, taking charge of the beauty services at YiZi Beauty.

Recently, business at the store had been getting worse and worse. She had also submitted quite a few resumes, but unfortunately, she still hadn't found anything suitable.

Thinking about this month's credit card bill and the rent that was about to come due, Zhao Yaqian sighed.

She hoped the boss would keep his promise and pay the missing wages soon, giving her a chance to catch her breath.

"Ding Dong—" Her Mobile Phone screen lit up.

President Li: "Yaqian, have you thought it over? The terms I promised before still stand: a monthly salary of fifteen thousand, with food and accommodation included."

Seeing the message, Zhao Yaqian unconsciously frowned.

This President Li had been a regular customer at their store. He was in his thirties and seemed like a decent man.

He spoke gently and politely, and he was also an executive at some major company.

After hearing that she was looking for work, he tactfully mentioned that he needed an assistant and hoped she would give it a try.

At first, Zhao Yaqian hadn't caught on. She thought she had truly met a benefactor and had even bragged about it to her Best Friend, looking forward to becoming a white-collar worker at a big company.

Later, after her Best Friend reminded her, she asked about the job requirements and compensation.

Only then did she realize that he wanted to keep her as his mistress. What he liked was nothing more than her youth, beauty, and especially long legs.

Looking at that tempting WeChat message, Zhao Yaqian bit her lips and replied seriously, "Sorry, President Li, I'm not suitable."

Just as the message was sent, she heard Sister Lin calling from downstairs. "Qianqian! A customer in VIP Room No. 2 wants an eyebrow trim!"

Zhao Yaqian hurriedly stood up, straightened her little suit jacket, grabbed her tool bag, and quickly headed over.

Pushing open the door, Zhao Yaqian put on a professional smile. "Hello, I'm Qianqian, one of the store's Beauticians. I'll be trimming your eyebrows today."

The customer in front of her was a man around twenty-five or twenty-six.

Out of professional habit, the first thing she observed was his skin condition.

It could only be described as terrible.

He was the typical oily-skinned guy with no skincare knowledge or habits whatsoever.

His skin was dull, his pores were large, and he had blackheads, acne, and quite a few pimples.

Still, he was a potential big customer.

"Okay." Tang Song nodded, unable to resist taking a few more looks at the Beautician.

She was probably the tallest girl he had ever met, looking about the same height as him.

Her features were defined and glamorous, but not aggressive. She looked very pleasant.

Her body proportions were excellent too, and the legs wrapped in black slacks were especially long.

Zhao Yaqian seemed very familiar with such looks, and her expression did not change at all.

She came before Tang Song and carefully examined his eyebrows.

"Brother, your eyebrows are quite thick. Correspondingly, you have a lot of stray hairs, and they're dense too. I'll first tidy up the shape of your brows, then trim each hair individually. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Thanks for the trouble."

"You're too polite. It's what I should do."

As Zhao Yaqian spoke, she took out a small pair of scissors, a small comb, and a blade from her tool bag. Lowering her head, she began working.

A faint Perfume Scent mixed with her natural scent drifted into his nose, making Tang Song's heart race. His gaze kept unconsciously shifting to her legs.

Her thighs were full and shapely, while her calves were slender and straight—classic Wine Glass Legs.

The sight made his blood boil.

He had only ever seen legs like that online.

But those had all been enhanced with effects. This was the first time he had seen something so real.

The wound Tony had left in his heart instantly healed quite a bit.

Just then, the System Prompt Sound suddenly sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations, player. Your Little Red Book account has surpassed one hundred followers. You have unlocked the achievement 'A Modest Reputation' and obtained the special item Betting Agreement."

Tang Song's heart skipped a beat.

This was the first achievement he had earned, and it even came with an item reward. Its significance was absolutely extraordinary!

"Brother, don't move around!" Zhao Yaqian cried out in alarm and hurriedly put away the blade.

"Excuse me! Excuse me!" Tang Song quickly apologized. He had been too excited just now and couldn't quite control his facial expression.

"Good thing I didn't hurt you." Zhao Yaqian patted her chest. "I'll continue now. Please be careful not to move around. If anything feels uncomfortable, just tell me directly."

"Okay!" Tang Song answered, closed his eyes, summoned the light screen, and directly entered the System Warehouse.

Then he saw the new item flashing with white light.

He checked its details.

Betting Agreement: After use, a betting event will be generated based on the player's current environment and state of mind.

"A betting event? What does that mean?"

He hesitated for quite a while, but driven by intense curiosity, Tang Song still couldn't resist.

He selected the Betting Agreement and used it immediately.
