Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

Although the service at this hair salon is indeed good, Li Jing has already dined at too many high-end restaurants, so after a few bites he simply asked Han Ling to start cutting his hair.

Upon seeing this, Han Ling's expression subtly changed, inferring from Li Jing's exhibited behavior details that the other person's status might be high, and his demeanor became even more respectful.

He approached with a smile and said, "Mr. Li, I've designed a hairstyle for you. It's similar to this one. Do you like it?"

Han Ling showed several images on a tablet and gently said, "I can see your aura is different from ordinary people, so I've designed this hairstyle for you. It's somewhat formal yet has personality, retaining artistry, and matching the carefree charm emitted amid your seriousness."

Li Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, surprised at the other's keen observation, then leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and nodded, "Alright, cut it as you suggested."

During the haircut process, Li Jing felt there wasn't much of a difference, except that Han Ling combed his hair excessively and frequently adjusted his hairstyle in the mirror, resulting in a much longer haircut duration than usual. Otherwise, the experience wasn't much different from ordinary hair salons.

However, Li Jing noticed Han Ling had considerable knowledge and insight. His speech and opinions revealed a high level of overall quality, which impressed Li Jing.

Li Jing speculated that if a real entrepreneur came here for a haircut, Han Ling would probably be able to strike up a conversation.

Perhaps this is the emotional value that the salon's hairstylists provide to customers while cutting hair.

Clearly, though, Li Jing doesn't know much about financial information and doesn't show much interest.

After briefly mentioning a few financial topics and noticing Li Jing's lack of interest, Han Ling attempted to chat about some high consumption spots in Celestial Sea City.

The full series lives on My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|L0EMPYR).

As the top chief hairstylist in the salon, his specialty is observing clients' habits and details to proactively identify topics they're interested in.

This way, not only does he have the opportunity to provide emotional value during the chat, but he also ensures the client doesn't feel awkward or bored during the haircut experience, leaving a lasting impression and encouraging them to return for future services.

Upon mentioning high consumption spots in Celestial Sea City, Li Jing showed some interest.

However, he initially thought Han Ling would inform him about some high-end locations he didn't know, but in the end, it turned out Han Ling only knew the basics, and the mentioned hotels and restaurants were places Li Jing had frequented many times.

While Han Ling's high consumption experience wasn't as rich as Li Jing's, he compensated by having a sweet tongue and being articulate.

During their chat, upon learning Li Jing had visited all the high-end restaurants and hotels in Celestial Sea City, Han Ling was inwardly astonished by Li Jing's economic power and provided ample emotional value.

Every time Li Jing calmly shared his impressions of those places, Han Ling appropriately expressed admiration and praise.

There's no denying that flattery is a skill.

At least Li Jing felt comfortable with Han Ling's approach, even knowing he was being flattered.

Despite the haircut taking twice as long as a normal one, Li Jing still felt the time passed quickly.

After the haircut, Li Jing looked at his new hairstyle in the mirror and nodded in satisfaction.

Han Ling had successfully become the chief hairstylist at this salon, possessing his own insights and skills in hairstyling.

Li Jing's newly cut hairstyle resembled those seen on male celebrities in formal settings on TV, with neat and sharp contours exuding a sense of formality, and a few strands slightly raised at the front revealing a charismatic flair.

While not a hundred times better than ordinary salons, the overall effect was indeed enhanced.

Li Jing wasn't unattractive to begin with, and now, with a carefully styled hairstyle and today's casual suit, he indeed carried a bit of the young, handsome boss charm.

Just when Li Jing thought everything was over, Han Ling respectfully stood by his side and asked, "President Li, I notice your scalp is somewhat oily, which is common among many men. Would you like to have a scalp cleansing treatment?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jing raised his eyebrows.

It seemed all hair salons couldn't escape upselling.

Nevertheless, now that Li Jing was wealthy, he didn't mind too much and casually asked, "How's the cleansing done? How much does it cost?"

"It's a scalp cleansing and care treatment," Han Ling explained as he kept combing Li Jing's newly cut hair. "This treatment costs eighteen hundred eighty-eight per session."

Before Li Jing could respond, Han Ling continued warmly, "Sir, since your friend is a female, her haircut might take a little longer, so once you're done with the treatment, she should be almost finished too, no need to wait longer."

Li Jing knew this was Han Ling's tactic, but it didn't matter because he truly needed to wait for An Tong.

Rather than waiting outside on a chair, it was better to let them do the treatment which could be more comfortable.

The key point was, Li Jing was now wealthy enough not to differentiate much between one or two thousand and tens of dollars, especially since the more he spent, the more the system returned.

"Alright then."

Li Jing calmly nodded, "You may prepare."

Upon hearing this, Han Ling's eyes lit up and he immediately signaled his assistant to prepare the treatment products.

Through their earlier conversation, even though Han Ling didn't know Li Jing's identity, he was very certain of Li Jing's abundant economic strength, as opposed to those who scrimped to try the experience once like internet celebrities or average people.

As someone in the service industry, having guessed the other's financial capability, Han Ling did his service work even more diligently.

Not only was he the chief hairstylist at this salon, but he was also one of the shareholders.

Being able to attract a new financially powerful client was undoubtedly a good thing for him.

Moments later, when Li Jing thought it would be Han Ling attending to him, he didn't expect a pretty girl to do the treatment.

According to Han Ling's explanation, most male clients preferred women to provide hair wash services, so the scalp treatments were mostly handled by the female staff at their salon.

On hearing this, Li Jing outwardly said nothing, but inwardly was increasingly impressed by the humane service at this salon.

During the treatment, the girl in charge of the care explained the products and brands while giving Li Jing a head massage and grooming.

Comfort overwhelmed Li Jing, causing him to fall asleep directly.

When he awoke, he discovered the treatment had long ended, but the girl who provided the treatment didn't interrupt his rest, instead continuing to massage him afterward, letting him nap pleasantly in the salon.

Originally thinking the salon's service was simply decent, Li Jing found himself developing a fondness for it due to their considerate actions.

Upon seeing Li Jing open his eyes, Han Ling quickly signaled an assistant to make a cup of coffee, then he himself approached saying, "Mr. Li, how do you feel? Our colleagues in the salon have undergone professional training, every one of them is certified."

Li Jing slowly rose with the girl's help, nodding, "Not bad, your salon experience..."

He was interrupted midway by a stir from the adjacent area, seemingly with a few people exclaiming softly.

Seeing Li Jing's speech interrupted by the noise next door, Han Ling furrowed his brow inadvertently, indicated the girl who did the treatment to continue accompanying Li Jing, then apologetically explained briefly, and proceeded with a serious expression towards the next room.

The salon prohibits loud noises, particularly by its own staff; this is a point he explicitly stipulated.

Compared to shareholders who don't manage the salon, he's more strict and attentive to its management.

Now hearing the commotion next door, although the noise wasn't particularly big, it interrupted Li Jing's speech, filling Han Ling's mind with displeasure, and he prepared to interrogate the staff responsible over there.
