Chapter 92

Tomorrow is the last day of the public period, and the day after tomorrow, the panda will be launched with a burst. Brothers and sisters, please prepare your monthly votes, and let's have ten consecutive bursts on the first day. If the results are good, I will ensure a large number of updates in the future. Let's go!

...

"Passed down in the family." Would I tell you I have a dream system?

Upon hearing it was a family tradition, the old therapist no longer asked many questions. Society is becoming more democratic, and private interests are being taken more seriously. Family traditions are always protected, which is a social norm.

The old therapist stood up and stretched his body: "Not bad, I feel much more relaxed, and my legs are more agile. Good technique!"

"Even the best can't compare to Grandpa." The little girl firmly believed the old therapist was the best masseur.

"Hehe..." The old therapist smiled slightly and asked Liu Menglong, "Young man, what's your name?"

"Liu Menglong."

"A dream with a dragon, a good name." The old therapist praised him and said, "Your technique is excellent, even better than mine. Don't you think five thousand a month is a bit low?"

"I came here to hone my massage skills, not for the money." Liu Menglong answered honestly.

The little girl rolled her eyes immediately. Your skills are better than Grandpa's, and you still want to practice? Are you trying to make people angry?

The old therapist, however, was full of admiration: "Not bad, massage may seem simple, but it involves a lot of knowledge about meridians. A young person with such skills and a willingness to work hard will surely become a great success in the future."

Liu Menglong smiled faintly and finished massaging the current customer: "Alright, get up and move around."

This was a child around seven or eight years old, who had been experiencing leg pain for some reason. The hospital couldn't find any issues, and the medications he had taken over the years were ineffective. Finally, after being introduced by someone, the child's mother brought him here for a massage, hoping it might help.

Liu Menglong immediately identified the child's problem. It wasn't growing pains or any other issue, but a slight blockage in a small blood vessel in the leg, causing poor circulation. This kind of problem can only be treated by someone skilled in acupuncture and massage, as Western doctors, with their different theories, are powerless to help.

Liu Menglong quickly cleared the child's blood vessel and infused 1 point of true qi to strengthen the slightly atrophied vessel. After this, the child got off the massage bed, jumped to the ground, and moved around, immediately looking very happy: "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Really doesn't hurt?" The child's mother asked, both delighted and a bit skeptical.

"Really doesn't hurt." The child jumped around, moving his legs: "It doesn't hurt at all."

Liu Menglong smiled slightly: "The child had a blocked blood vessel, causing the vessel to atrophy and harden. I just helped clear the vessel, and now it doesn't hurt anymore."

"Good, very good." The young mother, in her thirties, held Liu Menglong's hand gratefully: "Doctor, thank you, thank you."

"No, I'm not a doctor, just a masseur." Liu Menglong smiled and said: "Adjusting the blood vessels is a delicate task and quite energy-consuming. Sister, you should pay a bit more."

"Sure, whatever you say." The mother, delighted to have her child's illness treated, took out her wallet: "Is two thousand enough?"

"No need for so much, two hundred is fine." Liu Menglong smiled and patted the child's head: "Little guy, look how much your mom cares about you. You must be filial to her, okay?"

The child nodded repeatedly, walked to his mother, and held her hand: "Mom, I will be filial."

The young mother's eyes welled up with tears: "Good child, good child..."

Everyone present was deeply moved by this scene. Liu Menglong, who had the deepest understanding, thought: Child, be filial to your mother. I hope you never experience the pain of wanting to care for your parents but finding it too late.

The little girl walked to Liu Menglong's side and nudged his waist with her elbow. Liu Menglong turned to look at her. The little girl's face was slightly flushed, and she whispered: "I have a better opinion of you now. You're actually a good person."

And just like that, he was given a "good person card."

Liu Menglong smiled: "I've always been a good person."

Only losers are unwilling to accept the "good person card." For a rich and handsome man like Liu Menglong, even if he received a truckload of "good person cards," there would still be a whole planet of beautiful women willing to throw themselves at him.

Rich and handsome men are 100% immune to "good person cards."

It was already 12 o'clock. Normally, the massage parlor would pause for an hour to eat and use the restroom. But with Liu Menglong today, the old therapist and the little girl still had time to rest, while the parlor didn't need to pause for an hour. This added at least 100 yuan in income for the parlor. If calculated for a month, it would be 3,000 yuan in income. Liu Menglong's monthly salary was only 5,000 yuan, so this alone made the old therapist a big winner.

Fortunately, the old therapist was a decent person and had the little girl buy two meat dishes for Liu Menglong for lunch, costing 50 yuan.

While Liu Menglong was eating, the old therapist took over. After Liu Menglong finished eating, both young and old went to work. Unlike before, most new customers sought out Liu Menglong for massages, while the old therapist had very few. In particular, two female customers came in the afternoon, looked at Liu Menglong and then at the old therapist, and finally chose Liu Menglong to massage them.

Fortunately, the two female customers only had issues with their lumbar vertebrae, so they didn't need to take off their clothes. Liu Menglong massaged their waists and adjusted their bones, and nothing inappropriate happened.

Nothing could have happened anyway, as the little girl was watching the entire time. Liu Menglong didn't mind, but the two female customers were seething with anger: "Annoying brat, may you be a virgin forever!"

With Liu Menglong's help, all the customers scheduled for the day completed their massages. It was not even five o'clock yet.

"Xiao Liu, thanks to you, I haven't felt this relaxed in a long time." The old therapist stretched his shoulders and chuckled.

Looking at the 14% proficiency in初级点穴师 (初级 point acupressure master), Liu Menglong smiled: "Then give me a raise!"

"Haha, I would have given you a raise even if you didn't ask." The old therapist smiled and asked the little girl: "Xiaozao, how much income did Xiao Liu add to the parlor today?"

"Grandpa, can you stop calling me by my nickname?" The little girl blushed slightly, glanced at Liu Menglong, and saw him looking at her with interest, making her face even redder. She glared at him: "My name is Li Zao, Li as in the tree, and Zao as in morning, not the small date."

"Got it, Xiaozao." Liu Menglong's tone had a hint of mischief.

"Ugh!" Li Zao grabbed a silver needle to stab him.

"Xiaozao, stop fooling around." The old therapist scolded her: "Did you forget what I asked you to do?"

"Hmph!" Li Zao stopped, glared at Liu Menglong, and then picked up the ledger to calculate: "Grandpa, a total of 3,250 yuan."

"So much?" The old therapist was surprised. Normally, he could make 2,000 yuan a day, but Liu Menglong had brought in over 3,000 yuan in less than a day.

"Liu Brother is a big con artist. He convinced the customers to pay more willingly." Li Zao was secretly happy but was being sarcastic.

The old therapist chuckled: "Don't say that. Xiao Liu has the skills. You can't con people even if you try!"

Li Zao pouted and muttered: "That's because I'm kind."

The old therapist said: "Here's the deal! From now on, half of the income from your massages will go to Xiao Liu."

"Half?"

"Grandpa, are you crazy!?"

Liu Menglong was a bit surprised, but Li Zao was shouting in panic: "Today alone was over 3,000 yuan. If every day is like today, he would earn 40,000 to 50,000 yuan a month! That's too much."

"Even 40,000 to 50,000 yuan is what Xiao Liu has earned. Could you earn that without him?" The old therapist's face turned serious: "Go, settle Xiao Liu's salary for today, and from now on, it will be settled daily."

Seeing Li Zao's unwillingness, Liu Menglong said: "Forget it, let's stick to the original salary. I just want to hone my massage skills and don't need the money."

The old therapist's face relaxed, and he praised: "Xiao Liu, you're a good kid, but what's yours is yours. My small parlor won't be able to keep a good technician like you in the future. You must take this money. Of course, if you have some techniques that can be passed on... hehe, it would be great if you could explain them to me."

I see.

Liu Menglong suddenly understood. No wonder the old therapist was so generous; he wanted to learn new techniques!

Looking at the old therapist's seemingly honest face, Liu Menglong thought, "One cannot judge a person by their appearance," and smiled: "Let's discuss together!"

"Good, good." Seeing Liu Menglong agree, the old therapist's face lit up: "Let's not delay. Let's go out to eat today and have a good discussion."
