Xu Jianhong continued, "If nothing unexpected happens, the construction site in Shenzhen will definitely be handed over to me, and it's definitely going to be acquired by Tianyu Group. When the time comes, I will sign a contract with Tianyu Group to give me some of the smaller construction sites in the surrounding area. If it works out, you will keep an eye on it."
Qin Ge nodded.
Xu Jianhong changed the subject, "I've been trying to find some connections lately to see if I can get you into the Tianyu Group's evaluation team. It's a well-known state-owned enterprise, and the people there are all experts. You can learn a lot from them, and I'm sure you'll find it useful. Young people, it's always a good idea to learn more."
"Thank you, Boss Xu."
Xu Jianhong thought for a moment and then asked, "The last time the police came to check, they said you didn't have a household registration and were an illegal resident. What's going on? Isn't your hometown Qingshui? Didn't your parents register your household registration?"
Qin Ge came back to his senses: "My father died when I was a child, and my mother left. I grew up eating at many people's homes."
Qin Ge has been feeling a little uneasy these days. Instead of discussing his parents, he is more worried about Shengxia. Military training has just started at the beginning of the school term, and he doesn't know if she will be able to get used to it.
"Boss Xu, I'm going out to make a phone call."
Xu Jianhong waved his hand. "That little girlfriend of yours, right? Go ahead. By the way, have someone prepare the contract. Once Tianyu Group's acquisition is complete, there will definitely be a lot of people trying to get in, so we need to prepare early."
Shengxia had been exhausted these past few days, and even when Qin Ge called her, she was completely exhausted. But she knew Qin Ge was out of town, and he was responsible for both of their livelihoods, so she didn't want to burden him any further. She could only pretend nothing was wrong.
Seeing that Shengxia was so tired that she refused to eat or drink, Zhou Xiuxiu brought her some food from the cafeteria, but she didn't eat it until it was cold.
Zhou Xiuxiu took the thermos to get some water, thinking of getting some hot water for Shengxia to drink, but she bumped into Shen Jiaxue who pushed the door open.
There was some water in the thermos, which spilled all over Zhang Yunting.
"What are you doing? You scared me!"
Zhou Xiuxiu quickly apologized. Shen Jiaxue brushed herself off, walked in, and called out to Shengxia a few times. She saw that Shengxia's bed was bulging, but covered tightly, and there was no movement. She turned around and asked Zhou Xiuxiu, "What's wrong with her? Why is she sleeping in the middle of the day?"
Zhou Xiuxiu whispered, "Military training is too tiring, she can't get up."
Shen Jiaxue understood this and said, "If I didn't have to go out to work, I would sleep for a few days too."
Shengxia heard Shen Jiaxue's words in bed and lifted a corner of the quilt: "Work? How much can you earn?"
"Why, are you interested too? You can earn a hundred in one night!"
Seeing her look of disbelief, Shen Jiaxue quickly added, "Really, Shengxia, I'm not kidding. Our band has already made an agreement with a boss to sing at his bar, which is right over on Xinghu Road. He'll pay us a hundred yuan a night! That doesn't even include tips!"
Shen Jiaxue grabbed Shengxia's shoulders and glanced up and down: "We just happen to be short of a singer. Don't you want to make some money?"
Shengxia thought for a moment, if she could make some money, would Qin Ge not have to work so hard? But if she went to the bar to sing, Qin Ge would not let her go if he found out.
After thinking about it, I shook my head, picked up my schoolbag and went to class.
Seeing Shengxia about to leave, Shen Jiaxue quickly grabbed her and said, "Don't go, Shengxia! What I said is true. I'm telling you the truth. My family is really short of money. Our captain had a hard time finding someone to introduce us to this bar job. Many people want to do it but can't. If someone finds someone suitable later, we won't be able to go!"
"I really think it's okay. Believe me, I've been to that bar. It's really high-end. No one in there will pay attention to the singers. Just go in and see someone singing, and you can get that feeling. And if you're afraid of being recognized, you can put on heavy makeup, a wig, and stand on the stage. The lights will be dim, and who can tell who you are? Besides, if you're willing to go, I don't want my share of the money. I'll give it all to you. I'll give you 40 yuan a day. If you wash dishes, you can only earn 40 yuan a month!" Shengxia paused. Zhou Yunting's calculation was not wrong at all. Washing dishes outside from morning to night would only make a few dozen yuan a month. If you go as she said, it would be 40 yuan a day and more than a thousand yuan a month! Shengxia was surprised. It was indeed an unimaginable salary.
"That's only forty bucks a day, not counting tips. That's enough for you to wash dishes for a month!"
Shengxia then asked, "What are you talking about as a tip?"
Seeing that there was something going on, Shen Jiaxue quickly said, "If you perform well, some bosses will pay you separately. The bosses who go there are all wealthy, and the smallest one will give you 10 or 20 yuan."
Shengxia was a little tempted. If it was really like what Shen Jiaxue said, then she could earn more money to help Qin Ge share the burden, but going to the bar, singing...
"But I can't sing..."
Shen Jiaxue had already thought of this. She patted her chest and assured him, "It's okay. Don't worry. We have tapes. We'll help you when the time comes. You can just lip-sync in front. Besides, who goes there just to listen to music?"
It’s not that Shengxia has never been to a bar. In fact, she was a frequent visitor to bars in her previous life, but she only went there to spend money. She had never sang in the bar.
When they arrived at the door, they heard music coming from inside, but there was no one in the golden-decorated hall. There were four receptionists standing at the door alone, holding trays with wine. Their cheongsams were very short, just reaching their thighs. Shengxia took a look and turned her head away.
"Why not just forget it..."
Shengxia turned around and was about to leave when Shen Jiaxue grabbed her arm and said, "Oh, we finally made it here! Look at how grand and classy this place is! This is one of the best bars in Hai City. If you're so eager to pay, you'll have to pay a lot. I'm not kidding you!"
"But...."
In Shengxia's opinion, singing is not something she can't do. As long as she can make money, she will do anything.
But she didn't tell Qin Ge about this. If Qin Ge knew about it, he would eat her alive.
Seeing that she was still hesitant, Shen Jiaxue said, "Shengxia, think about it. You can earn over a thousand a month, which is enough to cover our annual tuition. Where can you find a job that can make money so quickly? If you go and wash dishes, how long will it take you to earn that much money?"
The words were rough but the truth was there. Shengxia thought that Qin Ge had been so busy recently and was not in Hai City, so she had originally wanted to share some of the burden with him. Since she left Qingshui, she had not earned a penny on her own.
She couldn't always hide behind Qin Ge. This wouldn't work.
