Chapter 7: [VAM Agreement]

“Director Li, do you think this hairstyle is suitable?” Tang Song’s expression was very ugly.

Li Wen hurriedly explained, “Don’t get excited. Your hair texture is on the softer side; it needs hair mud or wax to assist, otherwise, you won’t see the effect. Handsome, go wash your hair first, and I’ll help you set it.”

Hearing this, Tang Song breathed a slight sigh of relief. “Alright!”

After washing his hair, he returned to the VIP room.

First, he blow-dried the hair, then applied some hair mud to the top of his head, using his hands to tease out the texture bit by bit to create volume, and finally used a setting spray to lock it in.

Overall, it looked a bit like it had been permed, and paired with his face shape, it looked much more pleasing than before—at least, it wasn’t ugly.

He opened the system interface and checked; his charm had returned to 25.

Seeing that Tang Song’s mood had stabilized, Li Wen said enthusiastically, “Your hair volume and stiffness are indeed lacking. If you want to maintain this effect, you have to style it like this every day, which is very time-consuming.

I suggest you just get a cushion perm. That way, the volume can be maintained for a long time; it’s effortless and looks good.

We have a promotion in the shop today, so I can give you a 20% discount. If you combine it with a hair dye, you can also enjoy…”

Before he could finish, Tang Song interrupted him directly, “I have urgent business at noon, no time.”

Li Wen gave an awkward smile. “Then come back when you’re free. Wait a moment, I’ll go call the eyebrow technician over.”

Tang Song nodded and said nothing more.

He had reason to suspect that this Tony had known from the very beginning that his hair texture couldn’t support this style.

The goal was just to arrange a perm and dye for him to make a hefty profit.

……

Zhao Yaqian was a beautician who hadn’t been in the industry for long.

Because she lacked experience and her eloquence was average, it had taken her a long time to find a job.

Including base salary, commissions, and performance bonuses, she made about 4,000 a month.

Although it wasn’t much, thanks to the perks of the profession, she saved on skincare and cosmetic expenses.

This was also the biggest chunk of her monthly spending.

She hadn’t expected that after less than half a year of stability, her workplace would face the risk of bankruptcy due to operational difficulties and a broken capital chain.

The boss was also two months behind on wages.

Sister Li, the beautician responsible for training her, had already packed up and left, having found a new place.

As a newcomer, she suddenly became the main force of the shop, shouldering the beauty department of "Yizi Beauty Industry."

Recently, business at the shop had been getting worse and worse. She had tried submitting many resumes, but unfortunately, she hadn’t found anything suitable.

Thinking of this month’s credit card bill and the rent that was about to be due, Zhao Yaqian sighed.

She hoped the boss would keep his promise and pay the wages as soon as possible, giving her a chance to buffer.

“Ding-dong—” The phone screen lit up.

【Director Li: "Yaqian, have you considered it? The terms I promised before remain unchanged: a monthly salary of 15,000, with meals and housing provided."】

Seeing the content of the message, Zhao Yaqian’s brows furrowed subconsciously.

This Director Li was a regular customer at their shop, over 30 years old, and seemed like a very decent person.

He was always polite and was a leader at some large company.

After hearing she was looking for a job, he had subtly hinted that he lacked an assistant and hoped she would come and try it out.

At first, Zhao Yaqian hadn’t realized what it meant, thinking she had truly met a benefactor, and even bragged about it to her best friend, looking forward to becoming a white-collar worker at a big company.

Later, under her friend’s reminder, she asked about the job requirements and benefits.

Only then did she understand that the other party wanted to keep her as a mistress; what he valued was nothing more than her youth, beauty, and especially long legs.

Looking at the tempting WeChat message, Zhao Yaqian bit her lip and replied earnestly: "Sorry, Director Li, I’m not a good fit."

Just as the message was sent, she heard Sister Lin shouting from downstairs: "Qianqian! There’s a customer in VIP Room 2 who needs their eyebrows groomed!"

Zhao Yaqian hurriedly stood up, straightened her small suit, grabbed her tool kit, and walked quickly to the room.

Pushing the door open, Zhao Yaqian put on a formulaic smile. "Hello, I am the shop’s beautician, Qianqian. I will be grooming your eyebrows next."

The customer opposite her was a boy of 25 or 26.

Out of professional habit, she first observed the state of his skin.

It could be said to be very bad.

A typical oily-skinned boy with no skincare knowledge or habits.

Dull skin, large pores, blackheads, and quite a few pimples.

He was, however, a potential big client.

"Okay." Tang Song nodded, unable to help but look at this beautician a few more times.

This should be the tallest girl he had ever been in contact with; her height seemed to be about the same as his.

Her features were three-dimensional and beautiful, but not aggressive; she looked very comfortable.

Her body proportions were also very good, and her legs, wrapped in black trousers, were exceptionally slender.

Zhao Yaqian seemed very familiar with such gazes; the expression on her face did not change at all.

Coming in front of Tang Song, she carefully observed his eyebrows.

"Brother, your eyebrows are quite thick, which means there are a lot of dense, stray hairs. I’ll tidy up the brow shape first, then I’ll trim each hair individually to ensure you’re satisfied."

"Thank you for your hard work."

"You’re too polite; this is what I should do."

As Zhao Yaqian spoke, she took out small scissors, a small comb, and a blade from her tool kit, lowered her head, and began to work.

A faint scent of perfume mixed with her natural body fragrance drifted into his nostrils, making Tang Song’s heart beat faster, and his gaze would involuntarily shift to her legs.

Her thighs were full and fleshy, her calves slender and straight—typical wine-glass legs.

It made one’s blood boil.

He had only ever seen such beautiful legs on the internet.

But those were all enhanced with special effects; this was the first time he had seen something so real.

The heart that had been wounded by Tony healed quite a bit instantly.

Just then, the system notification sound suddenly rang out.

"Ding! Congratulations to the player, your Xiaohongshu account has reached over 100 followers, unlocking the achievement [Small Reputation], and obtaining the special item [Betting Agreement]."

Tang Song’s heart skipped a beat.

This was the first achievement he had obtained, and it even had a prop reward—it was absolutely significant!

"Brother, don’t move around!" Zhao Yaqian exclaimed, hurriedly putting away the blade.

"Sorry! Sorry!" Tang Song apologized quickly; his emotions had been too excited just now, and he couldn’t control the expression on his face.

"It’s a good thing I didn’t hurt you." Zhao Yaqian patted her chest. "Then I’ll continue. Please be careful not to move around. If you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you can tell me directly."

"Okay!" Tang Song agreed, closed his eyes, pulled up the light screen, and entered the system warehouse directly.

Immediately after, he saw the new prop flashing with white light.

View details.

【Betting Agreement】: After use, it will generate a betting event based on the player’s current environment and mindset.

"A betting event?" Tang Song muttered to himself, then immediately realized.

In the early stages of the "Male God Growth Plan" game, this prop had indeed appeared a few times.

It didn’t seem to have much effect in the game, so he didn’t have much of an impression of it.

But this was reality, after all; who knew what kind of magical effects it might have?

After studying it carefully for a while, Tang Song, filled with curiosity, selected [Betting Agreement] and used it immediately.
