When Xiangzi finished singing with Zhang Jian, he heard applause behind him and turned around to see Qiu Ye.
"Qiu Ye, are you here alone?" Xiangzi stood up and looked elsewhere, but saw no other drinkers.
Qiu Ye was wearing her own clothes and did not change into professional clothes.
"Hello, Brother Xiangzi." Qiu Ye smiled and said hello to Xiangzi. He gave Zhang Jian a thumbs up as he walked off the stage and said, "You sang so well!"
"Let's sit together." Zhang Jian greeted Qiu Ye and pulled a wicker chair from the side for Qiu Ye to sit down.
"Why didn't you see Brother Gen?" Qiu Ye asked Xiangzi after he sat down and glanced at Wang Jiahe who was drinking with his head down.
"He's studying on his own." Xiangzi replied, calling to the girl: "Bring me a wine glass!"
"I work here and there are rules not to drink." Qiu Ye quickly stopped Xiangzi.
"You work here?" Zhang Jian asked.
"Yes, tonight is the first day." Qiu Ye finished his answer and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot your name?"
"Zhang Jian." Zhang Jian introduced Wang Jiahe and Li Chengzai to Qiu Ye respectively.
"Have you ever sung in a wine shop before?" Qiu Ye asked Zhang Jian.
"I've never sung before. I just play and sing for my own entertainment. How can I compare with other professional singers? Haha..." Zhang Jian replied with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"If you are willing, come here and sing every night." Qiu Ye said, "We are looking for a singer."
"I'm afraid I'm not good at my level. It's okay to play with my brothers, but if I'm in front of many people, I'll feel panicked."
Li Sungjae asked: "If he comes to sing, will he be paid?"
"If a guest requests a song, we will charge a fee and we can give it all to you. In addition, the drinks here are free." Qiu Ye replied, she did not dare to agree to pay the singer yet.
"Zhang Jian, such a good thing should be regarded as entertainment. From now on, our brothers can also take advantage of you and come here to drink often." Li Chengzai said.
"You have the final say here?" Xiangzi asked, looking at Qiu Ye.
"So." Qiu Ye replied with a smile.
"Then can we get free of charge for the drinks tonight?" Zhang Jian took the opportunity to ask.
"Okay, as long as you sing ten songs, I'll give you a free bill tonight." Qiuye replied. She had made preliminary calculations and found that what Zhang Jian and the others ordered was only more than a hundred yuan in terms of cost.
"Really?" Li Chengzai said: "Zhang Jian, sing what you are best at and earn back the money for this drink."
At this time, several men and women walked into the wine. Qiu Ye hurriedly said: "I will greet the guests, Zhang Jian, and then go up and sing a song."
"Okay, if I sing ten songs tonight, you have to give me a free bill." Zhang Jian agreed. Of course, he didn't do it for the money, but to have a good time. He felt that singing in a wine would be better than singing in a dormitory.
Much more fun.
"No problem." Qiu Ye replied, stood up and left.
Those who walked into the wine were Xia Yang and her classmates. One of the boys had a birthday cake box in his hand.
A woman led them upstairs.
Zhang Jian took a sip of beer and walked onto the stage again. Instead of sitting on a high stool, he stood in front of the microphone stand and said into the microphone: "I give this song 'Friends' to a few good buddies."
Xiangzi whistled again, creating a concert-like atmosphere.
Xia Yang and her classmates chattered and sat upstairs where they could watch the stage performance. When they heard that someone was about to sing on the stage, they were all attracted.
"Zhang Jian..." Xia Yang exclaimed.
"Do you know that singer?" a female classmate asked Xia Yang.
"I know, I'll go down and say hello to them." Xia Yang looked downstairs and saw Li Chengzai and the Wang family, but he didn't see Liu Gen.
Xiangzi and the other three sang together with Zhang Jian on the stage.
Xia Yang came down from upstairs and walked to the three of them.
"Xia Yang..." Li Chengzai greeted him: "What a coincidence?"
Xia Yang looked around and asked, "Brother Liu Gen isn't here?"
"He has something to do." Li Chengzai said, "Sit down and have a drink?"
"I was with a few classmates. There was a girl in the dormitory celebrating her birthday. When I saw you here, I came down to say hello." Liu Gen didn't come. Xia Yang was a little disappointed. He smiled and said, "You guys drink, I'll go up first."
Zhang Jian, who was singing on the stage, waved his hand and walked back upstairs.
Xiangzi heard the conversation between Xia Yang and Li Chengzai, and heard her ask about Liu Gen. After Xia Yang left, he asked Li Chengzai: "That girl just now knows Brother Gen?"
"Don't you know him?" Li Chengzai looked at Xiangzi strangely and asked.
"This is the first time I've seen it." Xiangzi replied.
"How could it be? Brother Gen didn't mention it to you?"
"Brother Gen, why do you want to mention someone you don't know to me?" Xiangzi said with a smile.
Li Chengzai looked at Xiangzi strangely and said, "Her name is Xia Yang. When we came back from military training last Friday, she came to our dormitory to find Brother Gen. Brother Gen said he was a fellow countryman. I thought you knew her too."
"Fellow?" Xiangzi was confused: "Brother Gen and I were in the same class in high school. I know almost everyone he knows. Could it be that he didn't come from the No. 1 Middle School in the county where I used to go? That's not right, even if it's someone else.
I should have known each other since we were in middle school." Xiangzi glanced at the boys and girls upstairs.
"Xiangzi, Brother Gen and you, did you... find a job outside?" Li Chengzai asked tentatively.
"Yes." Xiangzi replied.
"What kind of job is it?" Li Chengzai asked again.
Xiangzi opened his mouth to answer, but suddenly remembered Liu Gen's words not to tell anyone about this matter. He picked up the cup and took a big sip of wine. He pretended not to hear Li Chengzai's question and moved his face towards Zhang Jian on the stage.
Seeing Xiangzi's unwillingness to answer, Li Chengzai felt uncomfortable asking further.
Wang Jiahe sat there drinking wine without saying a word.
Qiu Ye was helping on the stage, while the supervisor surnamed Yang stood outside the stage and said: "This boy can sing well and play the guitar very well. You know him, so you can invite him to sing here in the future."
"I have already told him that he will come often." Qiu Ye said: "I just promised him that as long as he sings ten songs tonight, he will give them a free bill."
"Free order?" the bartender said, "The total they ordered is more than 400!"
"It doesn't matter, put it in my account." Qiu Ye replied.
The bartender glanced at the supervisor named Yang.
"Do as Director Qiu says. From now on, she has the final say here." Yang told the bartender.
Several pairs of men and women approached the wine. When they heard someone singing, they all quietly found a seat to sit down and listen.
Zhang Jian sang a song, took a break, drank a few sips of wine, and then continued singing. He seemed to be having a great time.
But Wang Jiahe drank more and more, and he had already finished two bottles of beer.
The number of people in the wine room gradually increased, and the empty seats were almost filled. There were also several couples who went to the small dance floor to hug each other and dance while Zhang Jian played and sang.
Most of the people who come to drink are students, but there are also lonely single men and women in society who come out to find sex. They are easy to distinguish. Students usually come in groups or together with male and female lovers, while those who are looking for excitement
Most of them come in alone and go out in pairs.
A depressed boy with messy hair came in alone and sat in an inconspicuous corner.
"This guy is here again." A woman said to the bartender at the counter.
The bartender handed a bottle of Erguotou to the woman and said, "Send it over, this is his favorite."
"Who is it?" Qiu Ye didn't see the person coming in.
"A drunkard comes here almost every night and drinks a bottle of Erguotou, then lies on the table and sleeps until closing time at one or two o'clock." The bartender replied.
Qiu Ye didn't pay much attention to it. People like this are very common in wine.
A dozen loud boys and girls walked in at the door. Qiu Ye took a look and recognized several of them as from the Department of Forensic Medicine of Nanhai Medical University. He told the supervisor named Yang: "Those people are from our school. They seem to be in other schools."
When the place where you are drinking is almost done, tell the waiter not to mess with them and try to satisfy their requests."
"It seems that having singers singing can really attract a lot of customers. It was full tonight." Yang said, "If we do this every night, Mr. Wen won't always clamor to shut down the passion." After that,
Walked towards the dozen boys and girls who entered the door.
The dozen boys and girls who just came in are Yang Guanghui and his friends. This afternoon the Department of Forensic Medicine won the School of Public Health. After dinner outside, Yang Guanghui made an appointment with a few boys who were usually close to him and called their girlfriends.
, come to Haoqing Wine.
Perhaps it was the effect of the wine. Zhang Jian sang more and more energetically. When he learned that Xia Yang was also in the wine, he stood on the stage and said: "The following song is dedicated to every cute and beautiful girl here." After that, he used
In Cantonese, he sang Wong Ka-Kui's song 'Like You', which is his favorite song. He is also very skilled in playing and singing. In addition, his realistic singing voice resembles that of Wong Ka-Kui, which immediately caused quite a commotion.
Some boys kept whistling, and some girls screamed excitedly.
The atmosphere in the wine was brought to its climax by the singing.
Yang Guanghui had drunk enough at the dinner party. When he saw Zhang Jian singing on the stage, he seemed familiar. He asked the people around him and found out that Zhang Jian was also on the clinical medical school team and won the public health competition today.
He was sent off with a red card for uprooting Liu Gen in the last game and was unable to play. He was very depressed. Now that he saw Zhang Jian making a show of himself on the stage, he felt even more unhappy. He walked to Xiangzi and the others' seats, spread his legs and pointed at the stage.
Zhang Jian shouted:
"Are you trying to learn howling like a wolf? You have such a broken voice! It's so shameful to come out and sing!"
Xiangzi recognized Yang Guanghui. He had already drank two beers, just enough to make his nerves reach the point of excitement.
"Isn't this the kid who knocked Brother Gen down?" Xiangzi pointed at Yang Guanghui and said to Li Chengzai and Wang Jiahe.
"That's right... that's right... it's this guy..." Wang Jiahe was so drunk that he couldn't speak clearly. The so-called wine makes a hero brave. Don't look at Wang Jiahe who is usually weak. Once he is drunk, he is still a man, let alone today.
He felt unhappy in the evening, and with the help of alcohol, he stood up unsteadily, walked behind Yang Guanghui, pushed hard with both hands, and pushed Yang Guanghui forward two steps: "I didn't see... my brother... uh
...Singing..." Before he could finish his words, he received a slap on the chest. He took two steps back and fell down on the table. The wine glass on the table was knocked over with a clatter and fell to the ground.
