Title: Love in the Club - Commemorating our hard work every day.
On Crytoria's first day at the club, her mother earnestly told her that she was there to make money, not to be reserved. Surviving was her first goal. She pointed out that other girls were living in luxury homes, driving luxury cars, wearing designer clothes, and carrying limited edition bags. She asked Crytoria if she didn't want that. Despite her own conditions not being bad, she should set aside her so-called dignity to please the customers, encourage them to drink more, and make them happy. By doing so, she could earn a salary and have customers take her out to make money. However, she must remember that the customers were just that, customers, and she should not have any improper thoughts, otherwise she would be the one at a disadvantage.
Crytoria remembered. The colorful life in the city had already made her yearn for it. The two years of college, riding a bicycle and eating spicy hot pot, had allowed her to experience love and life. She didn't have much psychological preparation for taking this step. For her generation, the matters between men and women were still somewhat shameful, but morality and shame were no longer equated.
Money was no longer a temptation, but a necessity. Working for money, starting a business, and even drinking were all considered work. Setting a price for herself was just another form of work.
Crytoria was not a pretty girl, nor was she very smart, but she had a strong determination for new dreams. When she was ready to embrace a new life, she spent two years learning. Although she drank alcohol, she believed that she was conversing about knowledge. For her, only knowledge was the essence that set her apart from other girls.
Crytoria obtained a wine tasting qualification. Each time, she could accurately identify the bragging of the customers. She could precisely report the current wine market situation to the customers. She could serve Maotai to the customers, chat about red wine, and even explain which type of sake was more suitable for tasting in different seasons. However, she found that this did not make her more popular with the customers. Even the customers who asked for her help in recommending wine at the club never mentioned the topic again after leaving.
Nevertheless, Crytoria didn't just learn about wine tasting during these two years. She also learned how to read pulses and palmistry. She believed that these could not only increase some interesting physical interactions with the customers but also allow her to praise the customers without leaving a trace. Additionally, she could provide some health tips to the customers like a neighborly sister. However, these actions did not bring her more attention in the nightlife.
Fortunately, although Crytoria was not beautiful, she had some insights into makeup. She especially developed a set of makeup techniques for the nightlife. So, in terms of appearance, she never suffered. The face was one aspect, and the figure was another. Therefore, Crytoria never neglected her fitness, golf, or mountain climbing. The latter two activities were also intended to help her meet more high net worth customers, which was a small idea of Crytoria's.
Unfortunately, the other girls in the club were all the same. To take this step, relying solely on psychological preparation was not enough. Basic conditions had to be met. If the basic conditions were not met, they could only go to the streets. So, while you were outstanding, your competitors were also outstanding. When you thought that the only difference between you and your peers was knowledge, you would find that the biggest gap between you was awareness.
Crytoria's work continued. Every day, she needed to meet customers of all kinds. She did not have the qualification to choose; she only had the qualification to be chosen. Once chosen, even if it was a rough man, she had to entertain him for six hours, and she also had to find ways to interact more with the customers, striving to increase the probability of customers taking her overnight. She said that what she learned was an investment, and the return was to increase the chance of winning.
Occasionally, the fruit platter guy would chat with her and say, "You are so good at wine tasting, and you also have some knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine. Why not become a professional wine taster or open a massage parlor? It would be easier to make money. You clearly have such professional knowledge, why sell your looks here?"
Crytoria was already numb to this "well-intentioned" advice. She did not not want to become a professional wine taster, nor did she want to continue her studies in traditional Chinese medicine. However, she knew that this was not what she should be doing at the moment. She understood that her youth was short, and professional matters could be done at any time. These could be accumulated, but most people could only enjoy their youth for four years. Crytoria had heard many seniors say that most of the sisters from the previous cycle were no longer around.
Some went home with money to be housewives, some successfully rose to become wealthy wives, and some started a small club in a county town to become bosses. There were a few who could continue to be popular, but they were very few. But did she think that was all? These were just a small part of the practitioners, maybe less than 10%. The remaining 90% could only go to lower-end clubs or stroll in the park. Money was not easy to earn, but it was very easy to spend.
Crytoria's work continued. Although her knowledge reserve did not give her a strong competitive edge, her exquisite makeup and well-proportioned figure still gave her the opportunity to work every day. However, her success rate was still a bit low. For this reason, Kcooll came up with many ideas. She started forming small groups with her close sisters to flirt with customers. As long as one customer took them away, they would try to influence the customer's friends before leaving, especially the customer who was about to take them away. In order to show their "charm," they would also encourage their companions to take them away.
After forming these groups, not only did their success rate increase, but their take-away rate also improved. Crytoria and her sisters indeed had a good time for a period, and Crytoria also learned new skills. She would add the contact information of the customers she accompanied, not to harass them, but to follow their social information. Occasionally, she would provide some subtle emotional value. When it was convenient for the customer, she would bring some small treats to the customer's company. When there was no one around, Crytoria would shyly give the customer a sweet kiss.
These small tricks greatly increased Crytoria's income, and this income did not need to be shared. The only sacrifice was some personal rest time. However, the benefit was that she now had better time and opportunities with customers who previously couldn't take her away. As the days went by, Crytoria dared not be careless, because she knew that she didn't have many opportunities. To maintain her earnings, she had to be outstanding. Did she give up her previous wine tasting and "traditional Chinese medicine"?
Not only did she not give up, she squeezed out more time to study. She knew that accompanying customers might only be accumulation, but what belonged to her was still hers. These things would not leave her because she aged. On the contrary, they would become her reliance in the future.
This was not all. Crytoria used the money she earned to enroll in more supplementary classes, learn foreign languages, learn to drive, learn to play tennis, and even enrolled in an MBA course at a well-known university. Knowledge made a difference. Although this was not reflected in Crytoria's career of making money, she firmly believed that this was inevitable. The reason it was not reflected was that she was not outstanding enough.
Crytoria also thought of many ways to be invited to various activities by customers. This was actually very, very difficult, as most of the girls in the nightlife were fine for casual fun, but it was difficult for them to appear in formal settings. However, Crytoria was different. Her small actions won her some opportunities, and she also specifically studied insurance, stocks, and the international market. Occasionally, she would talk to customers about current interesting stories and investment opportunities. Although the customers did not respond to this, it did bring a fresher experience and indeed increased the number of times she was invited to events.
During the events, Crytoria stuck to her role and never crossed the line. She knew what her inviting customers were worried about, and her customers also knew that she understood their concerns. But once they reached this point, they had already prepared for the worst. However, if the worst did not happen, it often produced a great contrast. Crytoria's reputation was getting better and better.
Crytoria began to forget the words her mother said when she entered the industry and started to have improper thoughts. After all, she was not the only one with such thoughts. Almost all the sisters were thinking the same. However, she knew that although they had these thoughts, only a few could take this step. Not only her, but her circle of sisters had become more and more stable. Everyone in the circle was longing for better development, but whether to take this step and how to take it was also very confusing.
But Crytoria firmly believes that if she can step out, she may face either an endless hell or a glimmer of hope. Even if she steps out, the label of a nightlife girl will always follow her. She also knows that the club is where she works, and only when the club's business is good will she have better and more opportunities. What she wants to step out of is not the club, but her mindset.
Gradually, more and more groups of people appeared in her private room, and more and more customers joined her games. Crytoria hasn't figured out how to proceed in the future, but she believes that as long as there is a direction, she must move forward. She knows that if she doesn't move forward, let alone retreat, she will be trampled by the torrent even if she stays still.
Crytoria is fortunate. At least she can recognize where her value lies and strive to realize her value, rather than deplete it. Of course, depletion is not necessarily wrong. Among her sisters, there are also those who have earned a lot of money through depletion. Although they have left where she is and live in hiding, they have a lot of money in their hands and have transformed into "wealthy women."
There is no right or wrong in the club, only survival and living better. There are only so many customers, and although new customers occasionally arrive, it depends on the club's own business level. Crytoria once thought about whether to use her earnings to invest in the club. Of course, she also had the opportunity to switch to other industries. After all, the club is the most difficult place to work, and many employers like those who stand out in the club.
But Crytoria's improper thoughts were like opening Pandora's box. Although the box released all the disasters in the world, it also left hope.
What about you? What would you do?
I don't know how many friends can understand, but both you and I are Pandora.
