Chapter 164 I'm here for company matters

Fabian is cooperating with the investigation at the police station.

Even if Deborah and Clementine were thieves, the beating they gave Clementine was brutal. This went beyond the scope of treating thieves. Furthermore, Xiao Peng and his group had just enjoyed a "honeymoon" with the Marseilles government over the Mata Hari jewelry incident. The Marseilles police were also involved in the security of the Mata Hari jewelry, and Fabian was familiar with them.

Just as Xiao Peng had imagined, this matter wasn't as simple as he'd imagined. The criminal records of the men who had assaulted Clementine could fill a magazine! However, they hadn't woken up yet after being knocked unconscious by Xiao Peng, so Xiao Peng had no idea what had led to this incident.

But Xiao Peng had no interest in knowing why. To him, it was just a matter of saving someone. The two of them went to the police station to find Fabian.

The three of them had originally planned to go home, as Xiao Peng and Pascal's suits were covered in blood, which looked quite unpleasant. However, after Xiao Peng received a call, the three of them went to a jazz bar instead.

"What are we doing here?" Fabian asked in confusion.

Xiao Peng shrugged: "If I told you about the company, you would think I was bragging, right? But it's really the truth."

"Company matters? At this time?" Fabian was confused.

Pascal said, "It's the company's business for the three largest shareholders to sit together and drink."

After Xiao Peng entered, a young male singer was singing there. He was singing the famous song "Young Dumb&Broke", but he had changed it into a jazz style.

Xiao Peng felt that he sang very well. Although the singer used AUTO TUNE software to adjust the sound, it gave the song a unique flavor.

When the male singer finished singing a song, Xiao Peng was about to applaud, but he was met with boos from the whole room in the bar.

The waiter brought the three people drinks. Fabian asked in confusion, "I thought this guy sang well, why is everyone booing?"

Upon hearing Fabian's question, the waiter explained, "This is the new singer auditioning today. He has a good understanding of music, as you can hear. His jazz version of 'Young Dumb & Broke' also sounds very good. But he used Auto Tune on all three songs, and this is the result."

"What's wrong?" Fabian asked in confusion.

Pascal explained the problem to him: "Auto Tune is like the photo editing software you use when taking photos, except that photo editing software changes the appearance, while Auto Tune changes the sound. Even if you sing very off-key, it can be used to improve your vocals to Grammy-level quality. It's a must-have software for the 'million-dollar tuners' in the recording studio. However, occasionally using Auto Tune to modify your voice is a sign of trying something new. If you use Auto Tune on all your songs, it only shows that you lack confidence in your singing skills. If he used Auto Tune on three songs in a row, people would inevitably boo him."

The waiter laughed and said, "Especially since this is a jazz bar, jazz singers are all about vocal skills. Using Auto Tune like this is disrespectful to the stage, and we won't keep this singer."

After hearing this, Xiao Peng laughed out loud: "What a pity for this guy."

"What a shame?" Several people looked at Xiao Peng together: "What do you mean?"

Xiao Peng explained: "If he came to our country to develop, the result would be different!"

"Why?" Fabian was confused.

Xiao Peng explained, "There's a viral star in our country. If he doesn't use Auto Tune while singing, it's like a car accident. He can't live without a tuner. So, he came up with a solution: vigorously promote Auto Tune, saying it's a symbol of 'new fashion.' It's no secret that those 'studio singers' can't do without Auto Tune, but he's the only one who openly uses Auto Tune to promote all his songs, and it seems to be very effective. Now in China, whether you can sing or not, everyone uses Auto Tune. As long as you master this software, anyone can be a 'professional' singer. So, maybe the guy who was singing just now will have a good career in China!"

Pascal was shocked. "Dude, are you kidding me? Who would practice singing if everything was in auto tune?"

Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "Don't ask me. I'm not in the singing world. Waiter, do you have any wine recommendations?"

The waiter frowned and said, "Gentlemen, I'd love to entertain you, but it's already past eleven o'clock."

Xiao Peng looked at his watch after hearing this. It was almost one in the morning. He cursed, "Slut! Then get three glasses of juice and a fruit salad!"

The jazz bar they went to is called 'Pub' in France. According to French law, Pubs can only serve alcoholic beverages before 11pm. After 11pm, alcoholic beverages are not allowed. If you want to drink at that time, you can only go to a nightclub or disco.

The waiter suddenly lowered his voice: "Gentlemen, I have a bottle of my own 'Stoke Club 35 Years' here. It doesn't count as something sold in the store. I can transfer it to you privately, but the price is a bit high. I wonder how many of you there are..."

Xiao Peng grinned. This guy is doing private work!

Is this a 'roundabout way to save the country'?

"If you can give us a plate of pearl tomatoes for free to show our friendship, this bottle of 'Stoke Club 35 Years' will be ours." Xiao Peng said with a smile.

The waiter smiled and nodded, then turned around to get some wine for the group.

At this time, another female singer came on stage. She was about forty years old and sang "You Belong to Me" with great enthusiasm. Xiao Peng was deeply mesmerized by her voice and couldn't help but hum along with the rhythm.

Fabian asked in confusion, "Xiao, why did you drag us here so late at night? Oh my god, you're not going to pursue this female singer, are you? Do you need me to help you set you up?"

Xiao Peng gave him a middle finger: "Aren't your thoughts so dirty? She's old enough to be my mother!"

Fabian said, "Mature women have their own charm! Xiao, believe me, try it once and I guarantee you won't forget it!"

Xiao Peng's middle fingers appeared in front of Fabian at the same time: Convex-. -Convex!

Pascal coughed twice and said, "Xiao, why did you ask us to come here? Just to listen to music?"

Before Xiao Peng could answer, there was a sound of a car at the door. Xiao Peng glanced out the window and said, "They're coming!"

"Who is it?" Fabian and Pascal were both confused.

Soon, several people walked in. Xiao Peng stood up and said, "Brother Chen, why are you back so early?"

The person who came in was Chen Zetao, but the person following him was not Zhang Cuijian, but two foreigners, a man and a woman.

It seems that Chen Zetao is so anxious to find me not because of the "Ansaldo", otherwise he would not bring foreigners with him.

Why is he looking for me so anxiously?
