Chapter 1268: Chapter 1267: You Can’t Afford to Hire Me
After Ye Qiu finished their hair treatment and designed new hairstyles for Shen Xingru and Shen Yueru, the stylists and customers noticed that the two women looked quite different.
This caught the attention of the manager of the Saint Paris high-end beauty salon, who even considered recruiting Ye Qiu. For someone like Ye Qiu, a monthly salary of a hundred thousand is not much.
For wealthy people, as long as the salon provides excellent beauty and hair services, the sales commissions can be very high.
When Ye Qiu paused, a seductive-looking woman approached him and asked, "Sir, can we have a chat?"
"Who are you?"
Ye Qiu did not recognize the woman.
"I’m the manager here."
"You can say whatever you wish!"
"Sir, your skills are impressive. I’d like to hire you here, and we can negotiate the salary." Obviously, she was impressed by Ye Qiu’s expertise.
Last time Xia Jing was here, she felt that Ye Qiu’s beauty and hair work was very impressive, even better than professional stylists for top female celebrities.
"You want to recruit me to work here?"
Ye Qiu laughed upon hearing that.
Shen Xingru and Shen Yueru, who were beside him, also didn’t expect the manager to have such an idea.
Although Ye Qiu seemed dressed plainly, the duo knew that Ye Qiu’s income was substantial.
This manager wanted to recruit Ye Qiu.
"Yes, your skills are impressive. We can offer a monthly base salary of fifty thousand, with commissions calculated separately. We can negotiate for something higher if needed."
The manager felt that a base salary of fifty thousand was reasonable, considering Jinling is a second-tier city compared to major cities like East Sea.
Nonetheless, fifty thousand as a base salary in Jinling was already quite good.
Typically, in this industry, commissions are much higher than the base salary; it’s normal to earn over a hundred thousand.
"Then eight hours a day, right? Like regular work hours!"
Ye Qiu asked.
"That’s roughly it. However, we operate on a membership basis, and members must make appointments in advance, so there’s no overtime."
"You mention a fifty thousand base salary? Per month? I’m afraid you can’t afford me."
Ye Qiu chuckled.
"Sir, what do you mean?"
"I usually charge five thousand euros per hour for piano lessons, so what do you think?"
Five thousand euros per hour?
For piano lessons?
This astonished the manager!
She never imagined he could also play the piano, so clearly, she couldn’t afford Ye Qiu.
Of course, if she knew Ye Qiu drove a Mercedes AMG last time and now a Range Rover, she wouldn’t think of him as merely Shen Xingru and Shen Yueru’s chauffeur or bodyguard.
As the manager regretfully walked away, Shen Yueru asked, "Ye Qiu, are you boasting? Who would pay you five thousand euros to play the piano?"
Shen Yueru didn’t expect that Ye Qiu knew how to play the piano.
"You don’t believe me? Do you have a piano at home? I can play ’Moonlight Sonata’ for you."
Ye Qiu casually replied.
Shen Yueru watched Ye Qiu’s expression, thinking he didn’t seem like he was lying.
After their hairstyling was complete and they settled the bill, Ye Qiu and the ladies were heading out when the manager regretfully came out again.
Upon leaving, seeing Ye Qiu getting into the car, she couldn’t believe this young man could afford such a luxury car.
Ye Qiu drove towards Xingyue Group, letting the ladies take his car back to ensure they’d have a car to drive to work tomorrow.
"Do you really know how to play the piano?"
Shen Yueru asked again.
"I’m not lying. I’m not starved."
Ye Qiu said.
But Shen Yueru felt Ye Qiu was increasingly difficult to see through, what with his medical skills and clothing designs being remarkable.
Now, he charges five thousand euros an hour to play the piano?
"Then make sure you play it for me when you have time."
After Ye Qiu returned in front of the Xingyue Group building, parked the car, the ladies got out, and Ye Qiu didn’t stay longer.
Driving back towards Peach Blossom Spring Villa, he went upstairs after not seeing his parents and sister on the first floor.
Thinking about He Yuqing, he took out his phone; he still had He Yuqing’s number from her last call and dialed back.
Soon, He Yuqing answered quietly, "Is it Dr. Ye?"
She had saved Ye Qiu’s number last time, but since he hadn’t contacted her, she dared not contact him, fearing Ye Qiu would disdain her.
"I just went to Saint Paris and heard you resigned!"
"I resigned as soon as I recovered last time."
"What are you doing now?"
"I’m working in a mall as a saleswoman."
"What kind of sales?"
"Lingerie sales, under Qingcheng Group. It’s hard to sell now; sometimes not even one piece a day." Back at Saint Paris, she earned over thirty yuan washing hair for someone; now she only earns a base salary and commissions, which are nonexistent if nothing is sold.
She regretted resigning from Saint Paris, but she knew such places were still not good, and people like Xiao Yu relied on side earnings.
She felt those places were chaotic; at least selling faced female customers now felt better.
"Qingcheng Group’s lingerie? It’s hard to sell now?"
"It’s tough, barely selling several pieces in days, even with discounts," Ye Qiu felt this confirmed Qingcheng Group’s issues.
"Listen, resign tomorrow and start selling Xingyue Group’s lingerie."
Another resignation?
She had already quit once; now Ye Qiu suggested another change.
Given she had just settled down, she felt uncomfortable switching jobs suddenly.
"Why?"
"Inside information, Qingcheng Group is soon going bankrupt. Working there is a waste of time."
This confused He Yuqing.
Qingcheng Group going bankrupt, such bad luck?
Knowing Ye Qiu wasn’t ordinary, now he said it this way, indicating he heard something. Plus, some veteran employees were preparing to quit, so she shouldn’t hesitate.
"Dr. Ye, understood. Thanks for your advice; I’ll resign tomorrow."
"Make sure to call me once you find a new job!"
After Ye Qiu hung up, he didn’t expect her to be doing fashion sales, but it’s better than her former environment.
Girls like He Yuqing shouldn’t be like Xiao Yu.
