Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1263 – Encountering Li Cihua

“There’s a barbershop right in front- driver, stop there, please.” Lin Yi pointed at a shop some distance away before turning to Ziyu. “We’re here- time to get your hair dyed.”

“I don’t want to. This place is too low-end…” Ziyu shook her head.

“Low-end? We’re just dying hair, why does it matter if it’s high end or low end?” Lin Yi frowned, not happy at the luxury Ziyu used in her life. But thinking of Armadillo’s income, ZIyu shouldn’t have any money problems.

“Low-end dyes could cause cancer!” Ziyu pouted sulkily.

“Is that so?” Lin Yi turned to Xiaoxiao.

“Yeah, that’s true. But it should be fine if it’s just once or twice.” Xiaoxiao nodded.

“If there really might be problems, then fine. We’ll go to a high end one.” Lin Yi decided. “Mister, let’s go to a high-end saloon then.”

“Alright.” The driver nodded. People like him knew all about the locations in Songshan, be it KTV’s or saloons.

Soon, they arrived at a beauty salon, very high end judging from just the amount of high-level cars there.

It wasn’t common for people to come out from taxis here, so the security paused a little when they saw Lin Yi and his company come out.

But the security here had class and had been strictly trained. They wouldn’t discriminate, and still maintained a respectful tone as they let Lin Yi in.

“Sir, will you be getting a haircut?” A staff member came forward with a smile.

“Yeah, she’s getting her hair dyed.” Lin Yi moved Ziyu in front of the waiter. “Make it black!”

“You see, sir, do you have an appointment?” The staff asked carefully, thinking that this girl probably dyed her hair behind her family’s back and got caught.

“No. Did we need an appointment?” Lin Yi blinked.

“If you don’t have an appointment, you’ll have to wait in line- there are still some customers in front of you.” The staff member said.

“I see.” Lin Yi nodded and raised his head, sizing the place up.

What he didn’t expect was that this was part of Pengzhan Industries’ business as well! There was the company logo in the middle of the saloon’s lobby. It seemed like Pengzhan Industries sure had a lot of businesses, no wonder so many people coveted it.

But since it was Pengzhan Industries’ business, there was no reason to hold back. Putting aside the fact that he was actually a big shareholder of the company, even by Lin Yi and Pengzhan’s relationship, along with his relationship to the Miss- there was no reason to hold back at all.

He took out a diamond membership card. “I have a member card.”

The staff member took the card, and his heart jumped when he saw the level of the card- why didn’t he take this out sooner if he had a card like this? Was it his first time here?

“Sir, you’re a diamond VIP, there’s no need to queue, you may enter the upper floor’s VIP section.” The staff member maintained his respectful face. “But there is already a customer in the diamond VIP room, is a normal VIP room fine?”

Pengzhan Industries gave a very small number of diamond cards, and those were always some big names with connections to the company. As a company under Pengzhan Industries, preparing one diamond room was enough already. How many diamond VIP’s would you meet anyway?

But today was an unexpected incident- a VIP had arrived to test some hairstyles out, so Lin Yi could only use a normal VIP room right now. They couldn’t just kick out the diamond VIP, right? His status was very high, too…

“Alright, sure.” Lin Yi didn’t mind at all- he just didn’t want to wait and get Ziyu’s hair done and over with.

The VIP room and the diamond VIP room were both on the uppermost floors. The diamond VIP room is a room by itself, while the VIP room is a very big room. The two had similar service by the staff, but just with different environments.

Ziyu was saying she wanted to go to a better saloon, but she actually never went somewhere so high class before. She always went to mid-end ones. This was the first time here, and she was admiring just how luxurious everything felt.

But, just as she was looking around, she saw someone she absolutely admired and respected!

Li Cihua was sitting in the corner of a VIP room, likely waiting for someone or doing something here.

Ziyu saw him, and Lin Yi saw him.

Li Cihua being here was no mystery to Lin Yi. Cihua was a big boss of the gangster world in Songshan, and having a diamond VIP card was reasonable. With his connections to Zhao Qibing now, of course, he’d be able to come to Pengzhan Industries’ businesses. Who’d dare say anything to him? He probably had something to do here.

Lin Yi had guessed it- Cihua came here on an errand! Xu Shihan was here testing out hairstyles, and Qibing really wanted her, thus sending Cihua to trail her, seeing if she was planning to come back to cure her sickness.

And so Cihua had to come and tail her.

“Oh, isn’t this Cihua Bro” Lin Yi turned around, a mocking smile on his face. “When are you going to pay up the money you owe me.”

“!!” Cihua cleared his throat, his face instantly pale. He really had nothing to do against this die. He couldn’t piss him off. He couldn’t yell at him… House Yu was an example that nobody wanted to follow!

“See? If you don’t study, you’ll be like this idiot Cihua, owing money all around. See how sad his life is now. He needs to squat at some corner even in the VIP room!” Lin Yi pointed at Cihua and explained it to Ziyu.

“Ha?” Ziyu didn’t think that what Lin Yi said earlier was all real- this Li Cihua was like a punching bag in front of Lin Yi, just smiling bitterly even with when Lin Yi was edging him like this!

His image! His image of power and status, it all crumbled! Why was this Li Cihua such a coward? Did no one have courage anymore?!

“Why are you here?” Since Lin Yi was here, he needed to address this. This was his and the Miss’ business, after all, and he couldn’t just let Cihua move around here suspiciously like this.
