What kind of master of traditional Chinese medicine? I'm just a male technician.

Chapter 4, First Bell Ringing

Seeing that Bai Ruxue was going too far and was practically glued to him, Wang Tao finally couldn't help but step in and pull her back.

"Pah! Bai Ruxue, if you have a fever, go home and raid bird nests. Don't bother my employees here."

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Turns out, the landlady is quite a tough woman!

Li Yi took a few deep breaths and finally calmed down.

This place is not suitable for long-term stay; otherwise, you will definitely not be able to stand it after a while.

With this thought in mind, he looked directly at Wang Tao, ready to make his intentions clear, "Sister Wang, about that job thing you mentioned yesterday, I'm thinking..."

"Oh dear! I almost forgot about the important matter."

Wang Tao slapped her forehead, then took out a stack of papers from her bag and handed them to Li Yi.

"This is the employment contract. Your monthly salary will be calculated at 8,000 yuan per month, with a commission of 40%. If there are any tips, they are all yours."

In addition, food and lodging will be provided, and starting today, there will be no rent for your accommodation.

What? Base salary of 8,000, room and board provided, plus commission and tips?

Li Yi was stunned upon hearing this.

When I was interning at the Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, I only earned 3,000 yuan a month.

Even if you successfully become a full-time employee after a six-month internship, your starting salary will only be five thousand yuan.

Unlike other departments, the commissions for traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in hospitals are pitifully low. For a newcomer, earning a little over six thousand yuan a month is considered extremely lucky.

"Sister Wang, when...when do I start work?"

Li Yi was originally planning to resign, but after hearing the offer Wang Tao made, he changed his mind.

So what if all my clients are women? I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, dedicated to saving and treating people. Do I have to distinguish between men and women?

"Even if you're working today, our shop has always focused on beauty treatments. Traditional Chinese massage is a new service, and I don't know if customers will be willing to try it."

So, you need to be mentally prepared at the beginning; the commission might not be very high.

With a base salary of eight thousand yuan, why would I need commission?

Li Yi said earnestly, "It's alright, Sister Wang. If I don't have any clients, I'll work full-time as your technician."

Since it's all about gaining experience anyway, it doesn't matter who you take it from.

"You're smart to back down, kid."

Wang Tao had originally planned it that way too.

She never expected Li Yi to make money. The reason she spent eight thousand yuan to hire him was so that he would give her massages regularly.

"Wait! He can't really be the technician you found, can he?"

Bai Ruxue looked on in disbelief after hearing their conversation.

So she reached out and snatched the contract, examining it closely.

"Tch! I told you so, but you wouldn't believe me."

Wang Tao didn't stop her, letting Bai Ruxue examine the items.

Bai Ruxue went through the contract from beginning to end and found no problems, but she still couldn't quite believe it.

"Peach, have you lost your mind? Hiring a male masseur at a beauty salon?"

"You're the one who's out of your mind! Little Li is a legitimate traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, and his massage skills are amazing. If you don't believe me, just try it and you'll see."

Whether Li Yi is upright or not, Bai Ruxue doesn't know.

Anyway, she herself is quite unserious.

Upon hearing Wang Tao's words, Bai Ruxue immediately said, "Little brother~ since Taozi says your skills are amazing, why don't you let your older sister experience it for herself?"

"This..." Li Yi didn't know if the other party was joking, so he could only turn to look at Wang Tao.

Wang Tao raised an eyebrow. "Why are you looking at me like that? Since a customer wants a massage, then go ahead and do it. But we can't do it for free, so let's charge 800 yuan per hour."

Eight hundred dollars a minute? That's outrageous.

Li Yi's lips twitched, and he looked at Bai Ruxue again, wondering if she could accept the price.

Bai Ruxue seemed to have guessed his thoughts. "It's just eight hundred yuan, I have plenty of money. Little brother, behave well, and if you satisfy me, I'll give you an extra reward."

If it's 800 yuan, and you get a 40% commission, then you can get 320 yuan yourself.

Seeing that Bai Ruxue had no objection to the price, Li Yi no longer hesitated. "Sister Bai, have you been feeling unwell lately? Let me give you a massage."

"My sister feels unwell all over and often feels weak and listless, so she wants to find a college student like you."

As Bai Ruxue spoke, she crossed her arms and swayed back and forth, her movements incredibly alluring.

Damn! What kind of problem is this?

Li Yi was speechless upon hearing this.

However, how could a college student like myself be unable to handle a mere young married woman?

Today, we must let the other party experience authentic traditional Chinese massage.

"How about this, Sister Bai, I'll give you a foot massage first today."

"Okay, okay, let's get started."

Bai Ruxue ran straight to the sofa, lay down there, and kicked off her high heels.

"Sister Bai, don't rush. Soak your feet first before massaging your soles."

"Oh dear, I almost forgot. But, I took a shower this morning, so my feet don't smell at all. How about we skip the foot soak and get started?"

"Ahem... Sister Bai, soaking your feet is to stimulate the dilation of blood vessels in the feet and relax the muscles, so that the massage will be more effective. It has nothing to do with foot odor."

"Really? Little brother, don't you mind my smelly feet?"

Seeing that Bai Ruxue's fever was relentless, Wang Tao realized that Li Yi was no match for her.

If this continues, who knows how much more time will be wasted.

So she said directly, "Stop talking nonsense, just take a bath. I'll have someone bring the water up."

After Wang Tao finished speaking, she immediately took out her phone and made a call.

A short while later, Wu Xiaomei brought upstairs a basin of warm water.

"Little brother, since you don't mind your sister's smelly feet, then you can soak them for me." Bai Ruxue lay on the sofa, stretched out her fair and tender feet, and teased her again.

Unfortunately, in Li Yi's eyes, she was just his patient, "No problem."

Even ordinary foot massage technicians will soak the customer's feet in warm water of about 40 degrees Celsius for about ten minutes before performing a foot massage.

The purpose of doing this is simply to improve blood circulation in the feet.

Although Li Yi is a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, this step is still essential before massage.

Ten minutes later, the foot soak was complete.

"Sister Bai, I'm about to begin the massage. Are you ready?"

"Hurry up, my sister can't wait any longer."

Li Yi has gradually gotten used to Bai Ruxue's speaking style, so he simply pretended not to hear and directly reached out to grab her feet.

The soles of the feet are important reflex zones of the human body, containing many acupoints that correspond to internal organs, such as Yongquan (KI 1), Anmian (ST 1), Taibai (SP 3), Neiting (ST 4), Taichong (LR 3), etc.

These acupoints are connected to the body's meridians, and each acupoint corresponds to a different function.

Although Bai Ruxue didn't clearly explain where she felt uncomfortable, even for a normal person, regularly massaging these acupoints wouldn't do any harm.

Li Yi immediately started by finding the Yongquan acupoint and pressing it firmly.

"ah--"

Bai Ruxue, who had been smiling just moments before, suddenly screamed.

"It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!"

"What are you yelling about? Little Li is just helping you relax your muscles. Just bear with it for a bit, you'll feel better soon."

Wang Tao watched with schadenfreude, seemingly forgetting that she herself had tried traditional Chinese massage for the first time yesterday and had cried out in pain.

"Comfortable my ass! I don't believe your nonsense. I've figured it out, you two are working together to mess with me."

Ouch, ouch, ouch! Little brother, please stop, I really can't take it anymore...
