Besides crawling under the covers, the greatest purpose of a class reunion was to show off.
Zhang Ye couldn't muster any interest in going.
Zhang Ye gave a faint smile. "No need to pretend. I'm just a massage therapist, and you're just a Didi driver.
If we go, we'll only end up huddling in a corner. It's not like the divorced class beauty with three kids is waiting for us to save her..."
Wang Defa: "Holy crap! Zhang Ye, stop pretending. You're only refusing to go because of Lin Yan, aren't you?
Yezi, the two of you have already broken up.
She's walking her bright path now, while we crawl through our stinking ditch. Even if you went, she wouldn't give you a second glance."
Hearing Wang Defa look down on him like that,
Zhang Ye couldn't help cursing, "Damn it, at least I had her once!"
Wang Defa burst into loud laughter. "Hahaha, who knows, maybe she's already the mother of someone else's kid by now."
After saying that, he sighed heavily. "Are you really not going?"
Zhang Ye: "Not going."
Wang Defa: "You punk, I'm definitely dragging you along!"
Beep, beep, beep...
The call disconnected, and Zhang Ye shook his head with a smile.
There was a reason Wang Defa had become his brother.
No matter how uncouth the guy was, when trouble arose, he never backed down.
His only flaw was swearing a bit too much.
Zhang Ye hung up the phone and resumed perfunctorily giving the middle-aged woman a massage.
Ten minutes later.
The woman fumed, "With service like this, you still expect to make money? Go eat shit!
You brat, that rag is clearly what you use to wipe feet, yet you used it on me as a towel!
If I ever come back, I'm your mother..."
The elderly woman left, cursing the whole way.
Zhang Ye watched her leave with a smile.
After washing his hands clean, he prepared to head out for a meal.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, an A4 came to a steady halt right in front of his shop.
Just as he was wondering who it was, he saw a familiar figure step out of the car.
Straight black hair tied into a high ponytail, a black hip-hugging skirt, a low-cut camisole, and a denim jacket draped over her shoulders.
Phoenix eyes and rosy pink lips.
Her beautiful eyes first scanned the shop, her brows furrowing slightly.
Then her gaze fell upon Zhang Ye at the doorway, a faintly charming smile gracing the corner of her lips.
Pei Zi walked right up to the shop entrance, blocking Zhang Ye's path.
She said, "Dr. Zhang, I just worked a night shift and my whole body aches. Could you give me some therapy?"
Zhang Ye looked up at her, momentarily stunned as well.
He hadn't expected Pei Zi to rush straight over to find him after finishing her night shift instead of going home to rest.
He looked Pei Zi up and down.
Without her white coat, her aura seemed far more like that of an unruly, mature, wealthy woman.
He replied, "Dr. Pei, how about we talk about our cooperation first?" You are reading on g.com, the official source.
Pei Zi stepped right into the shop without answering his question.
Zhang Ye understood her reservations; she probably still didn't trust him and was afraid he might mistreat her patients.
Pei Zi pursed her red lips. "I said, give me a massage first before we talk about anything else. What? Do you think I can't afford to pay you?"
As soon as she finished speaking,
Pei Zi pulled out a Youwei tri-fold smartphone and directly scanned the QR code on Zhang Ye's desk.
She looked up to search for a price list, only to look around and find the walls completely bare.
She hadn't expected Zhang Ye's shop to not even have a price list.
Pei Zi could only frown and ask, "Don't you clearly display your prices when doing business?"
Zhang Ye gave a light chuckle. "Dr. Pei, it's not about the money."
Not about the money?
Pei Zi glanced at Zhang Ye, then frowned as she typed an amount on the payment screen.
Then, she paid.
【Ding! WeChat received 2,999 yuan.】
The payment notification echoed inside the shop.
Pei Zi raised her chin slightly. "Now it's about the money."
Did this female doctor want to throw money at him?
Zhang Ye was inwardly surprised, but he remained seated without flinching, still shaking his head. "Dr. Pei, it's not a matter of money."
【Ding! WeChat received 6,999 yuan.】
Pei Zi asked again, "Is that enough?"
Zhang Ye remained impassive, staring seriously at Pei Zi. "Please do not insult me like this. Therapists are human too, and we have our dignity."
Scenes like this were things he had only ever seen in movies and TV shows.
He never imagined he would have a day like this himself!
Beep... The scanning chime rang out once more.
【Ding! WeChat received 9,999 yuan.】
Listening to the payment notifications ringing on his phone, Zhang Ye sucked in a slight breath.
Damn, does being a doctor make this much money?
At that moment, Pei Zi said, "This twenty thousand is a token of my sincerity.
If you want to collaborate with me, give me a massage first so I can test your technique."
Zhang Ye felt a strong urge to agree.
He knew very well that this was a critical moment where they were feeling each other out.
If he exposed his weaknesses for the sake of twenty thousand yuan, and let her discover his true depth, he would be at a disadvantage when it came to cooperating.
Besides, whether they could collaborate was still up in the air.
If Pei Zi lost her mind and insisted on learning his so-called 'craft,' he wouldn't be able to teach her at all, let alone cooperate.
Zhang Ye shook his head and said, "I never said I'd give you a massage. Did I ask you to pay? No!
Did I ask you to add more money? No either!
As for the money, you gave it willingly, so I won't be issuing a refund, alright?"
Seeing Zhang Ye state so calmly that he wouldn't refund the money, the previously confident Pei Zi was completely dumbfounded.
Her mouth fell slightly open in disbelief; she never expected Zhang Ye to be such a scoundrel.
Pei Zi gritted her teeth. "Zhang Ye, previously you not only sent me pictures of muscular hunks with eight-pack abs and constantly bombarded me with messages to come patronize your business, Find the original chapter at novelping.com.
but just to get me to come over for a massage, you even chatted with me late into the night, calling me 'baby' and calling me 'darling' in voice messages...
Now not only have I come and paid you, but you refuse to do it? What's the meaning of this?"
Hearing Pei Zi's words, Zhang Ye instantly put down his phone with a snap.
He couldn't even remember how many middle-aged female clients he had bombarded with direct messages.
Having Pei Zi bring it up now genuinely gave him a start.
Zhang Ye hurriedly said with a laugh, "Dr. Pei, I just calculated with my fingers. If you add another ten thousand yuan, you can get our shop's premier package."
"You..." Pei Zi glared at Zhang Ye, but ultimately gritted her teeth and scanned the QR code again.
However, if she could thoroughly figure out Zhang Ye's massage technique, it would be a huge boon for her and the medical world.
Beep... Pei Zi felt her heart bleeding.
【Ding! WeChat received 10,000 yuan.】
After paying the money, she said, "You must give me a massage, nothing else matters."
Zhang Ye quickly checked his previously empty WeChat balance; there was actually an extra 29,997.0 yuan.
Nearly thirty thousand yuan?
Pei Zi really was wealthy. Fortunately, his skin was thick enough, or he wouldn't have earned this thirty grand.
Zhang Ye beamed with joy. "Dr. Pei, I'll do it. I definitely will."
Pei Zi was about to nod, but seeing Zhang Ye's expression, she asked warily, "What does the full package include?"
Zhang Ye: "Full-body Tuina, Cupping, Moxibustion, and a foot bath, totaling 120 minutes."
Pei Zi looked at Zhang Ye and said crossly, "I'm a conservative person, don't even think about taking advantage of me.
I'm not doing full-body. Give me Moxibustion for my shoulders and neck, and Cupping for my back."
Hearing that, Zhang Ye couldn't help smiling. "Uh... your stuff is still with me."
Smack!
The moment those words came out, Pei Zi's fist struck hard against Zhang Ye's chest.
Pei Zi snapped in embarrassment, "Zhang Ye!
You wouldn't admit it just now!
You did find my car keys, and you clearly teased me on purpose!"
Seeing the curvaceous, large-framed Pei Zi about to strike again, Zhang Ye hastily took several steps back.
That was careless!
This woman was clever after all, managing to bait the truth out of him. She really wasn't someone to mess with.
Not being a malicious person, he said seriously, "Dr. Pei, I'll give them back to you. Don't hit me, don't hit me."
He took out Pei Zi's car keys and prepared to hand them over.
"Stop!" Pei Zi froze again and said firmly, "Don't move. Put them on the table."
"Alright."
Zhang Ye quickly took out Pei Zi's car keys and placed them on the counter.
"I put them on the table for you, you can grab them yourself in a bit." He then retreated to the wall and gestured with his hand.
Pei Zi's face was burning up right now; she understood the surprised look in Zhang Ye's eyes.
Working the night shift, she had been so busy her feet barely touched the ground, with no time even to use the restroom.
Right after getting off work this morning, she rushed over to find Zhang Ye, planning to understand the technique he had displayed yesterday.
Now she had been pranked by this punk again!
Pei Zi glared fiercely at Zhang Ye, her beautiful eyes practically spitting fire.
