27: Would you be willing to do a job with a monthly salary of 30,000?

Lei Jun was about to say something more when a shop assistant came over to inform her that it was her turn.

She had no choice but to wave her hand at Xiao Ya, signaling they would discuss the matter later, and followed the assistant to a private room.

Inside the VIP room, Sister Lin, the head nail technician, was staring blankly at the high-end nail polishes and jewelry inlay tools on the table.

Hearing footsteps, she looked up and was instantly captivated by Lei Jun's appearance.

Long silver-white hair cascaded over her shoulders, her tall figure was evident even in camouflage pants, and her cold eyes held a hint of laziness; even just standing there, she looked like a meticulously painted oil portrait.

Sister Lin had been doing high-end manicures for over a decade and had seen countless socialites and wealthy ladies, yet no one had ever made her heart flutter like this.

Even as a fellow woman, she couldn't help but want to take a few more looks.

When her gaze fell on Lei Jun's hands, her eyes lit up even more: the fingers were slender and long, the joints were well-defined, and the nails were trimmed clean and round—she was a natural canvas for nail art.

"Ms. Lei, your hands are too beautiful!"

Sister Lin exclaimed subconsciously, quickly adjusting her posture and neatly arranging the top-tier gel polishes, South African diamond chips, and pearls she had prepared.

"What style would you like today?"

"Our latest 'Star Trail Flow' series uses imported Swiss temperature-changing polish, layered with 18K gold leaf and diamond chips; it creates a flowing galaxy effect under different lighting."

"Then there's 'Misty Velvet Secret Realm,' which uses Italian flocking gel paired with natural pearls—low-key yet sophisticated..."

Lei Jun scanned the sample book and pointed at 'Star Trail Flow.'

"Let's go with this one, for both hands and feet."

Sister Lin nodded immediately and began the meticulous process.

She first used an imported Japanese softener to care for the cuticles, then used a top-grade fine-grit file to gently buff the nail surface, ensuring the polish would adhere perfectly.

Next, she applied two layers of temperature-changing base gel. The nail surface appeared light purple at room temperature but turned deep sea blue when exposed to heat.

She then used tweezers to pick up tiny flakes of 18K gold leaf, applying them one by one to create the arc of a 'star trail,' followed by arranging South African diamond chips like stars, and finally sealing it with an ultra-bright top coat cured under a UV lamp.

The pedicure simplified the gold leaf, only embedding a ring of diamond chips around the edge of the toenails to echo the design on the hands.

The entire process took nearly two hours. Sister Lin held her breath in concentration the whole time, fearing a single mistake would ruin this perfection.

She even felt that she wasn't just doing a manicure, but adding color to a work of art.

When it was finished, Sister Lin looked at the 'galaxy' flowing on Lei Jun's fingertips and couldn't help but tentatively speak up.

"Ms. Lei, the effect of your manicure is truly stunning... We would like to take a few photos for the salon's promotion. We would pay you a portrait usage fee of fifty thousand. Would that be alright?"

Lei Jun looked down at her nails. The light purple surface shimmered with fine light under the lamps; it was indeed exquisite.

But she didn't lack those fifty thousand yuan, and she didn't want her image used for commercial promotion at will.

She shook her head and said calmly, "No need, thank you."

Sister Lin felt a bit disappointed but didn't dare to push, quickly bringing out the bill.

Manicure sixteen thousand, pedicure ten thousand, totaling twenty-six thousand.

Lei Jun swiped her card and paid readily. As she was about to leave, she was surprised to find Xiao Ya still holding her suitcase, standing quietly at the salon entrance waiting.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Lei Jun was somewhat surprised.

Xiao Ya stepped forward and said seriously, "I haven't compensated you yet, I can't leave."

Looking at her stubborn expression, Lei Jun felt a wave of speechlessness.

It seemed that if she didn't let her do something, she wouldn't give up.

But looking at her situation, she clearly didn't have much money. How could she compensate her?

A thought suddenly flashed through Lei Jun's mind.

She looked at Xiao Ya's upright posture and that serious drive, thinking of the Global Financial Center Block B Building under her name that needed someone to manage it, as well as her own safety concerns.

"How about this," Lei Jun said. "I have a commercial building, and I happen to need someone to help with daily management and maintenance. Usually, you'll also be responsible for my safety. The monthly salary is 30,000. Are you willing to do it?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ya's eyes widened instantly; she couldn't believe it.

"Thirty... Thirty thousand?"

This figure was an astronomical sum to her!

She had previously expected a monthly salary of seven or eight thousand at most.

"I'm willing, but... but it doesn't need to be that much money!"

Xiao Ya said hurriedly, feeling that this kindness was too heavy.

"I said thirty thousand, so it's thirty thousand," Lei Jun said with no room for doubt.

After a bit more declining...

Zhao Ya, intimidated by Lei Jun's aura, took a deep breath.

She nodded heavily: "Thank you, I will definitely work hard!"

Lei Jun introduced herself and then asked, "My name is Lei Jun. What's yours?"

"Reporting, my name is Zhao Ya!"

Zhao Ya subconsciously straightened her back, as if she had returned to her state while reporting in the army.

Lei Jun smiled and nodded.

There were several reasons why she was willing to hire Zhao Ya.

First, Zhao Ya was a veteran with strong discipline and a heavy sense of responsibility. Her combat skills should also be good, allowing her to both help manage the property and take on the role of a Bodyguard.

Second, through Zhao Ya's performance just now in insisting on compensation and not shirking responsibility, it was clear that her character was upright and reliable.

Most importantly, after obtaining the tycoon system, Lei Jun only wanted to enjoy life to the fullest and didn't want to bother managing those assets at all.

For such an important property as the Global Financial Center Block B Building, leaving it to a reliable person to handle was the best choice.

Moreover, she had held the property rights to this building for some time now, yet the original management team had never proactively contacted her, the new owner, to report on their work. In her eyes, this was a major dereliction of duty.

You should know that when she acquired the shares of Tianqiong Technology, someone from Tianqiong Technology contacted her immediately.

They were incredibly respectful, sincerely invited her to visit and provide guidance, and reported on the company's recent operations.

Hmph!

Since the original Person in Charge was irresponsible, she would replace them with someone she trusted.

After all, this building could bring in nearly sixty million in rental income a year; it had to be taken seriously.

Meanwhile, Zhao Ya's heart was filled with excitement and determination.

Thirty thousand monthly salary!

For her and her family, this was an opportunity to change their fate!

Ms. Lei Jun trusted her so much as to hand such an important asset to her for management; she could never betray that trust!

She secretly resolved to bring the same drive and seriousness she had in the army to do this job to the absolute best of her ability!

Looking at Zhao Ya's upright posture, Lei Jun suddenly thought of a question: "Can you ride a motorcycle?"

Zhao Ya subconsciously straightened her spine and said seriously, "Reporting to Ms. Lei, I previously served in the Snow Wolf Special Operations Brigade for five years, originating from the reconnaissance company."

"Besides motorcycles, I've driven armored vehicles and off-road assault vehicles. I even took first place in the entire army's driver competition."

A look of satisfaction flashed in Lei Jun's eyes.

It seemed this 30,000 monthly salary was well spent; she hadn't just found a reliable property manager and Bodyguard, but also a professional driver as a bonus.

"That's perfect then." Lei Jun tossed her harley keys to Zhao Ya. "You ride my bike and take me to the Global Financial Center Block B Building."

Zhao Ya caught the keys nimbly and then took Lei Jun straight to the Block B Building.
