"Haircut."

Zeng Xiaoxian muttered to himself, his mind racing.

Su Mingyang pulled Lin Wanyu's hair and twirled it around, then laughed, "Okay, I'll go with you."

"Um."

Lin Wanyu's eyes curved into crescent moons.

Zeng Xiaoxian had an idea. He said to the two of them, "That's perfect. I saw a hair salon near the magazine office. The service is excellent, and the skills are great. I just got a membership card there. Mingyang, Wanyu, I recommend you go there for a haircut. You don't have to pay with my card."

Hearing Zeng Xiaoxian's words, Su Mingyang vaguely understood and said with a playful tone, "Teacher Zeng, I haven't seen you get a haircut, so how come you got a membership card?"

Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled dryly, "I washed my hair and styled it, didn't you notice?"

As he spoke, he smugly touched his hair.

Su Mingyang looked at his messy, unkempt hair and almost laughed, saying, "Okay, but that's too far. You can get a haircut in the neighborhood, why go all the way there?"

Lin Wanyu chimed in, "Yes, it's too far."

Zeng Xiaoxian panicked upon hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he raised an eyebrow and said, "No way! The young couple in our neighborhood aren't very skilled, and they're ridiculously expensive. Go to the place near the magazine office. You wouldn't believe it, the girls there are really good at Thai massage. My shoulders were hurting, but after the massage, I felt completely relaxed. I suggest you try it."

Hearing this, Lin Wanyu's eyes lit up, and she said to Su Mingyang, "Mingyang, why don't we go to the place Teacher Zeng mentioned? The one in the neighborhood... the lady there doesn't know how to do massages."

Since Lin Wanyu was interested, Su Mingyang naturally wouldn't refuse, and said with a smile, "Alright then, let's go tomorrow."

Lin Wanyu smiled and said, "Mingyang, you're the best."

Seeing that the two agreed, Zeng Xiaoxian was extremely excited and said, "Then it's a deal! I happen to have time tomorrow and will be going to the magazine office again. Let's go together. You two come with me to the magazine office first, and then I'll go with you to get your hair done, how about that?"

"it is good."

Lin Wanyu agreed, but then suddenly felt something was off. She tilted her head and looked at Zeng Xiaoxian: "Wait... Teacher Zeng, you asked us to go to that hair salon near the magazine office, but actually you wanted us to go to the magazine office with you, right?"

Su Mingyang almost laughed at the sight of the flowers, and Wan Yu finally realized the trap inside.

"Haha, how could that be?"

Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled awkwardly and waved his hand. Seeing that the two of them didn't believe him at all, he had no choice but to admit, "Okay, Wanyu, you guessed right."

Lin Wanyu slightly raised her chin: "I knew it! But it's not like it's anything shameful, why beat around the bush? Teacher Zeng, you could have just said it directly."

Su Mingyang smiled and said, "Wanyu is right."

"I was just worried you wouldn't have time."

Zeng Xiaoxian said awkwardly, but actually he felt it would be too embarrassing to ask the two of them to accompany him, since he was a grown man after all.

Su Mingyang smiled and said, "That's settled then. Tomorrow, let's go to the magazine office together to help Teacher Zeng cancel her magazine subscription."

Go get a haircut again.

Lin Wanyu made a hand gesture: "No problem."

Zeng Xiaoxian was deeply moved, a weight lifted from his heart, and said, "Mingyang and Wanyu, thank you!"

Su Mingyang said, "We're all friends, no need for thanks. Besides, Teacher Zeng, you found a good hair salon and treated Wanyu and me to a hair wash and cut. We should be thanking you, right, Wanyu?"

Lin Wanyu: "That's right, thank you, Teacher Zeng."

"It's nothing."

Seeing the two smiling faces, Zeng Xiaoxian wiped the sweat from his forehead and felt incredibly flustered.

He doesn't even know if there's a shopping street near the magazine office, so how would he know which hair salons are good?

That was a huge boast; looks like I'll have to take it one step at a time tomorrow.

Just as he was making plans in his mind, Lu Ziqiao entered the living room with a stern face.

He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Ziqiao, what's wrong? You look so lost and disoriented."

Lu Ziqiao didn't say anything, and slowly shuffled back to his room like a zombie.

I'm heartbroken.

Zeng Xiaoxian asked, puzzled.

Lin Wanyu guessed, "Ziqiao just saw his godfather off; he must be too sad."

Zeng Xiaoxian praised, "I see. I didn't realize Ziqiao was so filial. He's a good son."

Listening to their conversation, Su Mingyang thought to himself that they were probably overthinking things.

Chapter 240 Face is like a father!

the next day.

The three arrived at the magazine office.

Unlike yesterday.

Zeng Xiaoxian was much more confident this time, after all, he had the help of Su Mingyang and Lin Wanyu.

He specially wore a suit and glasses, and strode confidently into the magazine office.

Upon entering, it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

Feeling uncomfortable under the gazes of passersby, Su Mingyang said to Zeng Xiaoxian, "Teacher Zeng, aren't you hot dressed like that? People who don't know better might think you're here to do some sales."

Lin Wanyu covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's just..."

Zeng Xiaoxian's lips twitched slightly as he retorted, "Don't I look like a successful person?"

The reason he dressed like that was because he was afraid the receptionist would mistake him for a 267.

Come out, after all, it's not exactly something to be proud of to stand in someone's door for half a day yesterday, then just take a piss and leave.

He had barely finished speaking when a staff member stepped forward and said, "I'm sorry, sir, our magazine does not accept any sales pitches. Please turn right and try the magazine next door."

Hearing the staff member's words, Su Mingyang and Lin Wanyu were both amused and exasperated, not expecting the magazine to be so cunning.

Zeng Xiaoxian's face darkened, and he explained, "I'm not here to sell; I'm here to conduct business."

The staff member immediately apologized: "Sorry, sir, this way please."

After saying that, he led the three of them to the front desk and left.

The receptionist greeted Zeng Xiaoxian politely, "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. You're one of the two thousand luckiest people in this city. May I ask your name?"

Zeng Xiaoxian adjusted his glasses and said, "Hello, my name is Zeng Xiaoxian."

Is there anything I can do to help you?

The receptionist suddenly frowned as she spoke, "Mr. Zeng, you look familiar, and your voice sounds familiar too. I feel like I've seen you somewhere before."

Zeng Xiaoxian was startled when he heard this. He thought to himself that his clothes were completely different from yesterday's style, yet the receptionist still recognized him! Her memory was terrifying! If she told Mingyang Wanyu about his embarrassing incident yesterday, how would he save face? Zeng Xiaoxian's mind raced, and he panicked. He was just about to change the subject to get away with it.

Lin Wanyu, assuming the receptionist was a woman, interrupted him and asked, "Do you really like the program 'Your Moon, My Heart'?"

The receptionist asked in surprise, "How did you know I have a habit of... at night?"

Thanks to "Your Moon, My Heart," I was finally freed from the torment of insomnia and could finally sleep. The host's name was also Zeng Xiaoxian, I think.

As she spoke, the receptionist narrowed her eyes, scrutinized Zeng Xiaoxian carefully, and asked, "You wouldn't happen to be Mr. Zeng, would you?"

Zeng Xiaoxian breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he didn't admit to being that guy who made a hasty escape yesterday, everything was fine. He raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm a good man. I'm Zeng Xiaoxian."

The receptionist exclaimed with delight, "It's true! I didn't expect Mr. Zeng to subscribe to our magazine. I usually only hear your voice on the radio. It's a pleasure to meet you today. You're even more impressive than I imagined!"

"More handsome, right?"

Zeng Xiaoxian chimed in.

The receptionist shook her head: "No, their legs are a little shorter than I imagined."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Xiaoxian's forehead creased with black lines, and his lips twitched.

Lin Wanyu exclaimed in surprise, "Mingyang, how did she know Teacher Zeng's legs were short while she was sitting down? Does she have X-ray vision?"

Su Mingyang was both amused and exasperated: "I bet her computer is showing surveillance footage."

Lin Wanyu suddenly realized, and continued watching with Su Mingyang.

"Just kidding, please don't take it personally."

The receptionist said, "Actually, Mr. Zeng, you are even more of a gentleman than I imagined. Your temperament is very similar to that of our fashion magazines; you both have a very noble air."

Zeng Xiaoxian was flattered by the praise, thinking that finally someone recognized his talent, and laughed, "Hehe, you flatter me."

The receptionist smiled slightly and asked, "So, Mr. Zeng, what kind of business do you need to conduct today?"

I wanted to

Zeng Xiaoxian opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't bring himself to say the words "cancel subscription". The receptionist already knew his identity and even praised him for matching the magazine's style. If he canceled the subscription, it would be a loss of face, but if he didn't cancel, he would be letting down Mingyang Wanyu's kindness in accompanying him.

What should he do? He was caught in a dilemma.

Seeing that Zeng Xiaoxian didn't answer for a long time, Su Mingyang secretly thought that something was wrong. This guy must have been influenced by the receptionist's flattery.

As he expected, Zeng Xiaoxian hesitated for a moment... then smiled and said to the receptionist, "It's like this, my friend and I were passing by and wanted to come in to check out the latest magazine information."

After saying that, he turned and looked at Su Mingyang and Lin Wanyu apologetically.

Of all things, face is the most important.

He had no choice but to wait until this matter was resolved before compensating the two of them.
