Chapter 211 First and Second in Command It wasn't because Gu Ning was familiar with the woman, but because of Gu Ning's outstanding memory. Once she had paid attention to something, she could easily keep it in mind. Within several seconds, two beautiful, noble ladies walked inside. One of them was Hao Ran's mother, Mrs. Hao, who had met Gu Ning once at Master Qin's birthday party. And the other female voice was Mrs. Lu. The lady beside Mrs. Hao had also seen Gu Ning at Master Qin's birthday party, but they hadn't spoken to each other. "Nice to meet you, Mrs. Hao, Mrs. Lu!" Gu Qing and Gu Man immediately welcomed them, but they weren't greeting them just because of their background. Lin Lijuan, instead, was stunned to hear that Gu Qing and Gu Man were the bosses. How is it possible! Lin Lijuan couldn't believe her ears. However, since Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu, who were both from super-rich families, came here, Lin Lijuan greeted and flattered them at once. "Oh, Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu! It's such an honor to meet you again! You both are so gorgeous and don't seem to age at all!" "Isn't this Mrs. Gu? Why do you judge others in public?" Mrs. Hao asked sarcastically. Mrs. Hao wasn't arrogant at all, and she liked to stand up for her friends. In fact, Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu had been to Kamei Beauty Salon twice after Gu Qing and Gu Man became its bosses. They shared many common interests and soon became good friends. Lin Lijuan sensed Mrs. Hao's anger, and felt embarrassed, but explained with patience, "Mrs. Hao, please don't get me wrong. We're relatives. I knew that they have always lived a hard life, and could barely afford their children's tuition fees. They have both quit their jobs, and suddenly have money to do skincare. Thus I asked the question simply because I care about them. That's all." Facing Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu, Lin Lijuan didn't dare to raise her voice. Those two ladies were from super-rich families, but her husband was hardly a successful businessman. She wanted to please them, so she naturally had to leave a good impression on them. "They're your relatives?" Mrs. Lu was surprised. "Yes!" Lin Lijuan replied. "Since you're relatives, why didn't you help them support their children to go to the school? Well, I understand that you don't have the duty to do so. Maybe because I value family very much, but I would have helped my family whenever they needed me." Mrs. Lu intentionally criticized Lin Lijuan for being so cold-blooded. Normally, they wouldn't criticize others in public, but what Lin Lijuan was doing was so unkind and vicious. She refused to help her relatives, and even hated to see them living a good life. Although Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu didn't know much about Gu Qing and Gu Man's family, they got to know some during small talks with Gu Qing and Gu Man. They were both aware that Gu Qing and Gu Man had worked in factories and had been on a tight budget. Gu Man had even been despised by her family because she had gotten pregnant before marriage, but Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu didn't care about that at all. They liked Gu Qing's and Gu Man's honesty and kindness, and they enjoyed chatting with each other. As noble ladies, they absolutely had many so-called friends who enjoyed either flattering one another or competing against each other, and they disliked that. They only socialize with them when it was necessary. Hearing what Mrs. Lu said, Lin Lijuan felt more embarrassed, and she also knew that Mrs. Lu did it on purpose. She hated Gu Qing and Gu Man so much, because they had no intention to help her out. However, since Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu were here, Lin Lijuan didn't dare to blame Gu Qing and Gu Man. After that, Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu ignored Lin Lijuan, but said to Gu Qing and Gu Man, "Why don't we have the facial treatment first before we go have lunch together?" "Good idea!" Gu Qing and Gu Man answered with one accord. Although they hadn't known each other for a very long time, they got along so well, as if they were old friends. Lin Lijuan was shocked that Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu invited Gu Qing and Gu Man to dine together. Why? How is it possible? "Mrs. Gu, please help yourself, and sorry but we're busy right now," Gu Qing said to Lin Lijuan airily, then guided Mrs. Hao and Mrs. Lu into a private room along with Gu Man. Lin Lijuan was mad, but didn't dare to stop her. When they were gone, Lin Lijuan asked a receptionist at the reception, "Are Gu Qing and Gu Man your VIPs too?" "Not really, they're the first and second in command of Kamei Beauty Salon," the receptionist replied politely, however, she disliked Lin Lijuan in her heart. She had witnessed what had just happened, and knew that Lin Lijuan was merely a snobbish and vain person. She now understood why their bosses didn't want their relatives to know that they were rich. "What?" Hearing that, Lin Lijuan rounded her eyes in shock. "Isn't Yu Na your boss?" "Boss Yu has already immigrated to another country, and now we only have Boss Gu here," the receptionist answered. "Impossible! They don't have enough money to acquire this store! It's worth at least a few million yuan!" Lin Lijuan still refused to accept the truth. She couldn't believe that Gu Qing and Gu Man were able to afford it. The receptionist couldn't help but roll her eyes. Every rich man started from poverty, except for the rich second-generation heirs. However, even those rich second-generation heirs had to have the ability to maintain their families' wealth, or they would soon become poor people too. Gu Qing and Gu Man were both good bosses, and won the support of the staff. All the workers admired them, and naturally would protect them. "That's impossible! I have to ask them for the answer!" Lin Lijuan said running ahead. "Xiaoxiao, go and have a look. Never allow her to cause us any trouble!" the receptionist said to a beautician assistant beside her at once. The beautician assistant immediately followed behind Lin Lijuan.
