It was not even 9 o'clock in the evening, but there were already people on Bar Street who were drunk and lying on the curb.
Not far from the corner ahead, a man was holding onto a street lamp and vomiting violently.
There are people painting by peeing at the base of the alley walls, and next to them are street prostitutes wearing heavy makeup and scantily clad clothes.
On the other side of the street corner, there were groups of motorcycle gangs wearing leather jackets, with tattoos all over their arms. They looked like they were not easy to mess with.
There were a few people who were obviously having too much fun and were dancing wildly in the middle of the street, shaking their heads.
Haha, what a glamorous and beautiful empire on which the sun never sets.
Gu Ran managed to avoid these people with his excellent driving skills, but was blocked by a group of hippies dressed in avant-garde style.
This group of hippies all looked to be around 25 or 26 years old, about a dozen of them, all very energetic, with earrings pierced all over their ears, tongue studs pierced in their tongues, nose rings pierced in their noses, and belly button rings pierced in their belly buttons.
They held homemade cigarettes in their hands, with no idea what kind of leaves were inside the cigarettes, and they started puffing and exhaling smoke in front of Gu Ran's car.
They saw Gu Ran's oriental face, but they obviously didn't know the honor that the Bucks Steelhorns had just won, nor did they care who Gu Ran was.
A few of them sat arrogantly on the hood of the car, raised their middle fingers, shrugged their hips, and pulled their eyes at Gu Ran.
Gu Ran sat in the car with a sneer, letting them make a fuss.
Gu Ran knew very well that this group of people were looking for trouble and fighting in the bar street every day. They had no goals in life and just wanted to find excitement.
...the lost generation of the British Empire.
If Gu Ran got out of the car to pay attention to them, he would be considered the loser.
Although these gangsters look numerous, their bodies have been hollowed out and they are very weak. They just rely on their numbers to scare ordinary people.
Gu Ran didn't want to waste his precious time on these trash people, and didn't want to create any unnecessary trouble.
He made a promise yesterday that he would celebrate with his teammates in the bar.
What's more, he is now a celebrity in Southampton, and his boast of being the "English League One top scorer" has been spread out. If the media reported the next day that he had a fight with a group of hooligans on Bar Street, it would be really a loss of status.
Celebrities need to take care of their reputation and not rush out to fight with others at every turn.
Unless it is really necessary.
But it is not necessary now.
Gu Ran sat in the car patiently, arms folded across his chest, just watching the monkey show.
Sure enough, after a few minutes, this group of hippie hooligans found it boring and left in groups of three or five to find new fun.
However, one of them, with a green-haired rooster comb, arrogantly stepped on the hood of the Cayenne before leaving, jumped and stomped hard twice, then jumped out of the car with satisfaction and walked away shaking his head.
Draft?! Gu Ran's suppressed anger instantly rushed to the top of his head! Dare to step on my Cayenne, I will kill you——
Gu Ran took a few deep breaths and suppressed his anger again.
Forget it, I didn't come here to fight.
I am a mature person, and I am a football star who will appear in major newspapers with a positive image in the future...
Gu Ran PUA himself in his heart and finally calmed down.
It just hurts my Cayenne.
Gu Ran stroked the leather steering wheel of the Cayenne and comforted himself silently.
Just as Gu Ran was about to step on the accelerator, a dark and thin guy came over and knocked on the car window.
Gu Ran frowned and hid his face in the shadow inside the car. Then he opened the window a crack and asked vigilantly, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Hei raised his chin, revealing his bad teeth. "Hey, Bro, is this your first time? Want to have some fun?"
Gu Ran said coldly: "No need."
After saying that, Gu Ran closed the car window and stepped on the accelerator.
Xiao Hei yelled a bunch of dirty words at the Cayenne's taillights.
Gu Ran completely ignored him and drove directly to the Orange Rooms bar.
Before, Gu Ran was a little worried about not being able to find the Orange Rooms bar, but after arriving at the bar street, he no longer had such concerns.
Orange Rooms is the most popular bar on the entire bar street. The neon lights on the outside feature a bright orange theme. Even the door of the bar is in an ultra-modern style with a strong visual impact.
The huge "OR" letters are projected onto the street using lasers and rotate dynamically, making them highly recognizable and easy to see without having to get close.
In addition, there was a queue nearly 50 meters long at the entrance of the bar.
Fashionably dressed men and women are all queuing up here, waiting for security check and entry.
Next to the team, there are at least 6 tall security guards maintaining order and ensuring safety.
The six security guards were wearing black suits and orange ties, the color of the bar. They had serious expressions, earphones in their ears, pistols slung in their suits, and their eyes were scanning everyone nearby like hawks.
There is only one word written on their faces: professional.
There are also two security guards checking customers' identification documents at the entrance.
——According to British law, you can only enter a bar at the age of 17, otherwise it is illegal.
When Gu Ran was about to find a place to park, he saw a commotion at the entrance of the bar.
A girl about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a tube top and a miniskirt, with extremely heavy makeup on her face, screamed and wanted to rush into the bar.
However, the security guard who was checking ID at the door grabbed the girl's neck without any hesitation and threw her to the ground.
The security guard threw the girl's fake ID in her face and said, "Don't think I don't know that you are only 14 years old! You want to come to a place like this at the age of 14! Go back!"
The girl cried loudly and begged for mercy, but the security guard ignored her and showed no sympathy.
Holy shit...so brutal.
At the age of 14, she can develop like this...
Gu Ran smacked his lips secretly.
At this time, another security guard noticed that Gu Ran wanted to park the car, and then walked over with a frown, shouting fiercely: "No parking here! Drive away quickly!"
Gu Ran quickly opened the car window, stuck his head out, and said politely: "Hello, I am Gu Ran, a player of the Bucks Steel Horns. I have booked a VIP room before. Here is my ID."
Gu Ran handed the certificate he had prepared long ago to the security guard.
The security guard was stunned at first, then he said in a very kind tone: "Ah! It turns out to be Mr. Gu Ran! You are our VIP, please follow me, I will take you to the VIP channel."
After saying that, the security guard handed the ID back to Gu Ran, then turned around and whistled.
Immediately, a parking attendant ran out and parked the car for Gu Ran.
After Gu Ran got out of the car, he took a look at the hood of the Cayenne——
Damn it, if I run into that group of hippie hooligans again today, I will beat them until they become incontinent! Gu Ran was heartbroken, and took a few deep breaths before he managed to suppress his anger.
Gu Ran followed the security guard's lead and walked towards the VIP passage at the entrance of OR Bar.
——It’s good to have money. If you have money you can be a VIP.
A VIP membership is not expensive, only 50,000 pounds.
At the OR Bar, regular tickets are 10 pounds, and when there are major performances or major celebrations, tickets are 20 pounds. There is no minimum consumption for individual tables, but if you are in a booth, the minimum consumption for a small booth is 100 pounds, for a medium booth is 500 pounds, and for a large booth is 1,000 pounds.
The VIP room alone costs 50,000 pounds, not including drinks and other expenses.
It is normal to spend 70,000 or 80,000 pounds in one night, and it is even possible to spend over 100,000 pounds.
The advantage of the VIP room is that the entire room is occupied by your own people, and you can bring anyone in at will.
There will also be singing and dancing performances in the VIP hall, as well as large-scale special performances that cannot be seen in the open-stage hall.
Many vain girls are waiting to be selected to enter the VIP room, because in the VIP room they can not only enjoy high-end treatment and drink high-end wine, but also make high-end friends.
After all, spending more than 50,000 pounds a night is definitely considered rich in the entire British bar industry.
Gu Ran didn't understand these things at first. He only knew the difference between the VIP room and the open tables after he called OR Bar for consultation.
Gu Ran is naturally not short of money. Since he is treating everyone to a championship celebration party tonight, he naturally has to book the best VIP room so that his brothers can have a good time.
I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to party with these teammates again in the future.
When Gu Ran walked to the door, the girls who were queuing all screamed: "Ah! Look! It's my husband!"
"Husband! Husband!"
"My idol is so handsome!"
"I came here just for you tonight!"
The girl lying on the ground quickly got up and rushed towards Gu Ran, "Hubby! Take me in! Take me in! I'll do anything you ask me to do!"
The security guard beside Gu Ran pushed the fanatical girl away without any mercy.
The other girls who wanted to rush out of the team immediately returned to the team obediently.
It was also the first time that Gu Ran felt the enthusiasm of fans at such a close distance.
Gu Ran waved politely as a greeting to them, and then quickly walked into the OR Bar.
After turning around a corridor, the wild atmosphere of OR Bar hits you.
The gorgeous and ever-changing lights made it almost impossible for Gu Ran to open his eyes.
There are also rainbow bubbles flying all over the sky, embellishing the joyful atmosphere of the entire bar.
The DJ was spinning records passionately on the stage, and men and women in the dance floor were standing next to each other, waving their arms and dancing to the wild sound waves.
The infectious power of this carnival makes everyone who enters the bar forget their worries instantly and just want to sway to the music.
Gu Ran's mood, which had been irritated by those hooligans before he came, had now completely calmed down.
After walking through the long platform, the security guard brought Gu Ran to the glass elevator.
There were two even more burly security guards standing guard at the glass elevator entrance, looking serious.
"This is a VIP guest, Mr. Gu Ran."
The two security guards still nodded seriously, and one of them swiped his card to open the elevator door.
——The whole set of services exudes a high-end feel.
What does £50,000 buy? Not a lobby, not drinks, but the feeling of being the best.
Gu Ran nodded slightly to the security guards and then walked into the glass elevator.
As the elevator doors closed, the elevator slowly rose.
Watching the waving arms on the dance floor from the height of the elevator can give you a better sense of the madness of the scene.
Ding~ The elevator stopped smoothly in the VIP hall on the second floor.
Finally I got in. The flag has been established this time. There won’t be any trouble... right?
As soon as Gu Ran walked out of the elevator, the VIP room immediately became like a pot of boiling water.
The teammates of the Bucks Steel Horns team put down their wine glasses and the girls beside them and rushed towards Gu Ran happily.
"Fuck! Gu Ran! You finally came!"
"We thought you weren't coming tonight again!"
“Ahhhh!”
"Finally! Finally! Before graduating from high school, I can finally have a good drink with Gu Ran!"
"I won't go home until I'm drunk tonight!"
Not only the teammates, but also more than 20 pretty girls in cool clothes in the VIP room screamed and rushed towards Gu Ran.
Not to mention, the quality of these girls is very high, at least they can score above 8 points, and some can even reach 9 points! The girls are even crazier than their teammates, all vying to get into Gu Ran's arms.
The posture seemed as if he wanted to push Gu Ran to the ground and bite him madly.
Gu Ran was frightened by the enthusiasm of this pack of wolves and took several steps back.
Minato happily hugged Gu Ran and said with a drunken breath, "Gu, why are you so shy? We came here to have fun. Tell me which girl you like and I'll arrange it for you!"
Gu Ran said with a smile: "Shuimen, did you find all these?"
Minato grinned, "Of course... No, I found this from a waiter in the bar. I told him that Gu Ran would be coming tonight and paired each of us with a top-notch girl! Then, all the high-scoring girls came!"
Damn... you actually used my name...
Okay, okay, as long as you are happy.
Gu Ran touched his forehead helplessly, "You all have girlfriends, don't let your girlfriends know, otherwise, I will become a sinner."
Minato laughed and said, "Don't worry, it's all just for fun. I told my girlfriend that tonight is a purely manly affair."
Rusty laughed happily, "Gu! I'm not afraid! Haha! I'm not afraid! Hahaha!"
"Hi, Gu!" Coach Carter, with a flushed face, pushed aside the crowd and gave Gu Ran a perfumed hug.
This perfume was obviously not from Coach Carter himself, but from a beautiful female companion.
Awesome coach, you've already mastered it before we even start?
You are worthy of being a role model for our generation! Gu Ran secretly admired him.
Coach Carter laughed and said, "I didn't plan to come today. Yesterday they lied to me that there was a special show, but there was nothing. I supervised them for nothing. If you hadn't come today, I wouldn't have come."
Gu Ran complained in his heart: Coach, you came here for the special performances in the VIP room, right? Gu Ran smiled and said, "Thank you, Coach, thank you everyone! Let's drink and play tonight, just have fun, and I'll pay for everything."
“Ahhhh!”
"Long live Gu Ran!"
"Chinese Dad! Chinese Dad! Chinese Dad!"
There was a deafening roar in the VIP room, and all the teammates were excited to the extreme.
Those pretty girls were so crazy that they wanted to pounce on Gu Ran, and some of them even started fighting over a spot.
The teammates quickly separated the fighting girls, but another group of girls started fighting.
Glider covered his face and said, "I used to think it was boring when Gu Ran didn't come. Now I understand that Gu Ran didn't come in order to ensure that we had girls! When Gu Ran comes, all the girls want him, and we all become light bulbs!"
Bread shouted loudly: "This is not a solution. Everyone wants Gu Ran, but there is only one Gu Ran! Let Gu Ran choose one. The one who is chosen will be Gu Ran's female companion, and those who are not chosen cannot fight - those who agree can stay, and those who disagree can leave."
After hearing this, the girls all became obedient.
They don't want to be kicked out of the VIP room.
If I stay here, even if I can't be Gu Ran's female companion, I will have the opportunity to get in touch with Gu Ran, and I can brag about it in the future.
Minato asked Gu Ran, "Have you chosen? Which one do you like?"
Gu Ran's eyes were dazzled, but he said with a very real feeling: "I came here just to drink with you guys, you guys...just have fun, I'll let it go."
After all, I also have girlfriends!
I, Gu Ran, would absolutely, absolutely, absolutely not go to a place like a bar and have fun with a girl I don't know.
I, Gu Ran, have a bottom line. This is my bottom line as a human being! ——Gu Ran thought firmly in his heart.
Tyrannosaurus Rex also came up and said, "Gu, you don't like these women? Then I'll change them for you until you are satisfied!"
Fuck... a nightclub selecting concubines? Gu Ran waved his hand, "No, no, no... Otherwise, just pick one for me."
It's really hard to refuse such a kind invitation, so let's just go for it.
You're here now, right?
The money is spent, isn't it?
You can't be out of tune with the brothers, right? It's all for the brothers' happiness! Bread yelled, "Who among you wants to be Gu Ran's female companion tonight?"
“Me, me, me!”
"Pick me, pick me, pick me!"
The girls raised their hands frantically and showed off in front of Gu Ran.
Gu Ran was too embarrassed to look at it! Places like bars are really too dangerous!
Luckily I'm a serious person, so I just drank and chatted with the girls, it was nothing serious.
Yes, I can grasp it.
Then Bread shouted loudly, "You all want Gu Ran? How about this, let's compete fairly. Whoever drinks a Hero Cup of active dark beer first will be Gu Ran's female companion tonight!"
"Oh oh oh!" The girls suddenly became even crazier.
The so-called active bottled beer is Real ale, which is a natural beer that has not been filtered or processed. They are usually drawn from barrels and served in bars using manual handles, which is commonly known as draft beer in China.
The so-called hero cup is a 1000ml draft beer cup, and its corresponding cup is the "lady cup", which has a capacity of 620ml.
It is indeed a big challenge for an ordinary girl to drink a whole Hero Cup of draft beer in one breath, but for the passionate Southampton girls, the Hero Cup is a basic exercise.
Soon, more than twenty girls came with their own bottles of dark beer and gathered around the sofa where Gu Ran was sitting.
The scene seems like a world famous painting.
Minato even checked to make sure no one was cheating.
After Minato confirmed that it was done, with the bread saying "start", the girls held their glasses and gulped down the wine!
"Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink! Drink!"
The players of the Bucks Steelhorns also feasted their eyes on the music, clapping to the rhythm and cheering for the girls.
Soon, two girls with good looks and figures of 9 points drank up the beer in their glasses first!
The two girls who scored 9 points raised their glasses excitedly to celebrate at the same time!
The other girls looked depressed and wailed.
…
at the same time.
In a pub adjacent to the OR Bar.
"Mrs. Kawai" Suzuki Honami drank three glasses of strong gin in a row, and the negative emotions accumulated in her chest were about to explode...
