Rebirth in 1993: The Farmer's Band

Waking up, Liang Liang found that he had been reborn into 1993.

After much thought about what he should do after his rebirth, Liang Liang decided not to be overly ambitious and venture into p...

Chapter 253 Gathering Information

Liang Liang called Han Chui into his office.

"Brother Han! Go do something for me now. It's 2:30 in the afternoon, so there should still be time. Go to the Lianwan Evening News office and find Li Zhizhou for me. If you find him, arrange a place for us to have dinner tonight."

Liang Liang doesn't know where Li Zhizhou's pager number went; it's gone.

The newspaper did have the phone numbers for each department of the evening newspaper, but Liang Liang had forgotten which department Li Zhizhou worked in.

He seemed to be in the arts and literature supplement section during the summer, but later he was transferred, I don't know which department he went to.

Instead of making a big fuss by calling each department, it's better to send someone to look for them.

This will also be a good opportunity to test whether Han Chui's abilities have improved.

It seems we can't operate today. Since we can't operate tonight, let's use this time to resolve the potential hazards discovered by the fire department.

Han Chui then arranged for an engineering team to carry out the renovation of the hidden dangers.

Han Chui went out and soon brought a few people over to Liang Liang before going to find Li Zhizhou.

These people are people who do house renovation and decoration.

Liang Liang then led these people around the dance hall.

Large-scale renovation projects are not feasible; they would take too much time.

All we can do is address the minor, obvious problems that need to be fixed.

After agreeing on the price, it was decided that the renovation would begin tomorrow during the day.

After seeing the workers off, Liang Liang saw the listless members of the Sanjiaomao band.

"What's going on here? I, the manager, didn't even take it seriously, so why are you all so dejected?"

"I didn't expect to encounter something like this as soon as we arrived at the karaoke bar. Manager, do you think we're jinxes?" Zhou Xue asked seriously, which made Liang Liang laugh.

"What does this have to do with you? You just happened to be there. Don't worry, it won't be a delay for more than a few days. Even if you can't perform, I will still pay you your basic salary. At the very least, I can guarantee you will have food to eat."

Hearing Liang Liang say this, the members of the Sanjiaomao band felt relieved.

"You don't need to think about anything. Your task is to rehearse the songs. It would be embarrassing if you couldn't play or sing when the guests requested a song."

"Manager Liang! May we sing your band's songs?"

"Of course! When you sing in a karaoke bar, you don't have to worry about copyright or anything like that. You can sing whatever's popular and whatever the customers request."

If you still care about those rules and regulations in a karaoke bar, then you might as well not live your life.

"But it's too much of a strain for me, a woman, to sing your songs!"

"Just change it to a tune suitable for female voices, that's all. You'll have to change it yourselves, don't expect me to do it for you."

The Sanjiaomao Band didn't hold back either, immediately starting to adapt Blue Shark Band's songs.

Han Chui returned at 10:50.

"Everyone's arranged. We'll meet at the Chunlei Hotel at 5:30. Ugh! I'm exhausted!" Han Chui slumped back on the sofa, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it.

"This guy is now the deputy editor-in-chief of the Lianwan Evening News, sitting in an office, and he's got all that attitude. If I didn't mention you, he wouldn't even look at me. He's so condescending!"

Liang Liang had no time to listen to Han Chui's complaints. It was already five o'clock. Although the Chunlei Hotel wasn't too far from here, it would still take more than ten minutes by tram or bus.

At 5:30, Liang Liang and Han Chui met Li Zhizhou at the entrance of Chunlei Hotel.

This guy, dressed in a suit and tie, does look quite like a leader.

"Brother Li! I can't believe you've become the president of the company after just a few months. That's impressive!"

"It's the vice president!"

"They're all the same! Please!"

After entering the Chun Chun Lei Hotel, we found a private room and ordered our food.

After downing two glasses of hot beer, Liang Liang recounted what had happened that afternoon.

"Isn't this a routine inspection due to the approaching end of the year?"

"It doesn't seem so! If it were a routine inspection, all the businesses on our street should have been inspected, but none of the other businesses were inspected. Only our nightclub was inspected. One of them told me that our nightclub was reported by someone."

"Huh? You've offended someone?"

"The owner of this nightclub, Ms. Qin, just broke up with Zheng Tuo. Now Ms. Qin runs it on her own. Because she still has businesses in Yahe, she handed the nightclub over to me to manage. I've only been in charge for a day. Who do you think we could possibly offend?"

Li Zhizhou frowned: "You're the only one on the whole street that's been investigated. It's true that someone filed a complaint against you. What do you plan to do about it?"

"I hope to get some useful information and find the most capable people, otherwise the Haiyun Dance Hall is in danger of not being able to open before the end of the year. Brother Li! Can you help me?"

"Well...it's hard to say!"

Liang Liang gave Han Chui a wink.

Han Chui took out a paper package from his body and placed it in front of Li Zhizhou.

"Brother Li! Here's three thousand yuan. Could you help me find out some information and introduce me to someone in charge of the fire protection system? I'll reward you handsomely after you get it done."

"Xiao Liang! This is not good!" Li Zhizhou pretended to refuse.

“You also need to ask people for favors, and you need to ask people for help. It costs money to do favors, and I can’t let you spend your own money.”

"Haha! Xiao Liang! I didn't expect you to be so insightful about human relationships at such a young age. Well then, I won't be coy."

Li Zhizhou put away the paper package.

Having taken the money, Li Zhizhou hurriedly left after finishing his meal.

Tonight, the Haiyun Dance Hall is closed, and everyone in the dance hall is idle.

Liang Liang simply organized a self-entertainment event for the people in the dance hall. The Blue Shark Band and the Three-Legged Cat Band provided accompaniment, and the dance hall members who could sing took turns performing on stage, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

The next morning, the workers arrived early and began to modify the exposed hazards according to Liang Liang's requirements.

In fact, Liang Liang wasn't sure how much these hidden dangers were related to the closure of the dance hall, but they weren't the decisive factors.

Even without these hidden dangers, nightclubs can still be shut down if targeted.

However, the existence of potential hazards is equivalent to danger, mainly fire and electricity. It is a good thing to take this opportunity to eliminate the safety hazards that have been discovered.

Liang Liang watched as the workers repaired the exposed hazards one by one.

These workers are quite efficient. They started working at seven in the morning and cleared one-third of the potential hazards in three hours.

At this rate, they can eliminate all the hidden dangers in the dance hall in one and a half to two days.

Around 10 o'clock, his pager went off.

It's a number that looks like it's from a magnetic card phone.

Liang Liang returned to her office, picked up the phone, and dialed the number.

"Xiao Liang! I've got most of the information. I've found you someone; here's what happened..."

Li Zhizhou's voice came through the phone.
