This woman actually wanted her to thread the needle for them?
What are you thinking? I'm not a professional pimp. You want me to buy you thread? You'll have to wait!
Although that's what Qin Wenju thought in her heart, that's not what she said aloud.
"This is easy to handle. Let me ask him for you. Don't blame me if he doesn't agree."
Qin Wenju agreed very readily, clearly from the bottom of her heart, willingly and without complaint.
"Even if the deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. How could I possibly blame you, Manager Qin?"
I'll walk around the back of the house in a bit, then come back and tell Wei Fenglian that he refused. Anyway, you won't know whether I asked or not.
"Manager Wei, please sit and enjoy your time. I have other guests to attend to, so please excuse me!"
Qin Wenju stood up with a smile and left.
But as soon as she turned around, the smile on her face disappeared, and she even pouted.
Liang Liang is her darling, and Wei Fenglian also wants to get her hands on him?
No way!
Qin Wenju certainly wouldn't tell Liang Liang about Wei Fenglian's plan to hire Liang Liang to sing at the Hongdu Dance Hall.
It's impossible both publicly and privately.
If Wei Fenglian were to spend a large sum of money to get Liang Liang to the Hongdu Dance Hall, what would become of her Dongfang Dance Hall?
What if Liang Liang goes to the Hongdu Dance Hall to sing and ends up in Wei Fenglian's bed?
The one singing in his bed should be his mother, not some Wei Fenglian.
Qin Wenju casually strolled around the dance hall a few times before conveying Liang Liang's rejection to Wei Fenglian.
“If singing isn’t an option, then surely I can ask him to train a band for me? I’ll offer him a high salary.”
She can't even sing, yet Wei Fenglian still wants Liang Liang to train her in a band? Isn't that just wishful thinking?
Training a band takes much longer. By the time you've trained the band, you might even have a baby. That won't do.
"That's probably even less likely. Liang Liang said he's going out of town after New Year's Day and won't have time to take on other jobs."
Qin Wenju wasn't lying. Liang Liang was indeed going to accompany her to Lianwan City to handle some business over the New Year's Day holiday, and it was impossible to predict when it would be completed.
Wei Fenglian frowned.
Although she can't meet up with the men she's interested in for the time being, she hasn't neglected her serious business.
Through her observations at the Oriental Dance Hall, she concluded that the live band was indeed more flexible and engaging than those impersonal backing tracks, and the sound quality was far superior to that of videotapes.
If Hongdu wants to regain its former glory, it can't do without a live band.
Hongdu Dance Hall must have its own band, but where can it find a band?
It's probably hard to find talent in this field in such a small place as Yahe. It seems we'll have to look in Lianwan City.
As for that kid named Liang Liang, we'll talk about him another time. I don't believe you can escape my grasp.
Liang Liang had no idea that the dogs below the stage were fighting. Following the customer's request, he professionally sang the song that cost the customer two thousand yuan.
He received a thousand yuan, kept five hundred for himself, and gave the remaining five hundred to the Red Cliff Band.
Around 12:30, the customers in the dance hall began to leave, and by 1:00, there were no customers left in the dance hall.
The karaoke bar was closing, so there was no need for Liang Liang to stay there. He still needed to deal with the woman who had tricked him onto the stage.
The woman was very perceptive; she immediately admitted her mistake and demanded that Liang Liang punish her severely, believing that wrongdoing should be met with clear rewards and punishments so that the world could get back on track.
Liang Liang thought so too. The first time he genuinely punished the female swindler with the intention of punishing evil and promoting good.
The second time, my ideals became somewhat blurred.
"A woman offered to pay you to sing, but I didn't tell her. Does that count as deception?"
Liang Liang nodded with her eyes closed: "Sour!"
"There's another woman who wants you to form and coach a band for her, and I didn't tell you. Shouldn't you be punished for that?"
"Should!"
"Now please punish me for the third time!" Qin Wenju said sincerely and earnestly.
Liang Liang thought for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his foot and kicked Qin Wenju off the bed.
Qin Wenju lay on the floor and laughed heartily.
New Year's Day 1994 arrived quietly amidst a night of wind and snow.
When Liang Liang got up in the morning, he took a shovel and started clearing the snow that had accumulated in the yard overnight.
With New Year's Day over, there are still more than forty days until the Lunar New Year.
What did you do during those forty days before the New Year?
Since losing my foothold in Lianwan City, life has become somewhat aimless.
Having a place to stay and earn some pocket money is quite a good thing.
Now I have no pocket money left.
Liang Liang was shoveling snow when Xu Mei gracefully arrived.
Xu Mei was officially fifteen years old, and she felt like she was about to become a young woman.
Now that she's a grown woman, shouldn't she do things that a grown woman should do?
So she came to Liang Liang to learn the zither.
"You promised to teach me the piano during the holidays, so you can't go back on your word."
"Can't you see I'm shoveling snow? I can only teach you the piano after I finish shoveling snow. Look how much snow fell last night, it'll probably take all morning to shovel this snow."
Xu Mei is already a 15-year-old young lady, and a 15-year-old young lady should indeed do things that only young ladies do.
For example, shoveling snow...
This is a worker who came to us on his own initiative; we must make good use of him.
Xu Mei was really quick to help Liang Liang sweep the snow, rolling up her sleeves and forgetting that the snow in her yard hadn't been swept yet.
Children from rural families are generally very healthy, even the girls.
With the addition of fresh troops, the snow that used to take an hour to clear was finished in half an hour.
It's 8:30 in the morning, and Liang Liang has to face Xu Mei's affectionate gaze for at least two hours.
"Come on! Let's test your basic skills first, and see if you've been practicing the piano every day lately."
Xu Mei then diligently practiced the basic guitar playing techniques.
Very good, very good. The little girl plays very well and has a very solid foundation.
It's time to teach her some practical skills.
Liang Liang then began to teach Xu Mei some guitar playing techniques.
Xu Mei listened very attentively, and then took out a notebook from her pocket and began to write it down very carefully.
Liang Liang doesn't just talk about theory; he connects theory with practice, demonstrating with the guitar as he explains.
In just one morning, he taught Xu Mei many fingerstyle guitar techniques.
"Brother Liang! Will you still teach me tomorrow? We get a day off tomorrow!"
Liang Liang shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow. I have to go to Lianwan City to take care of some important business tomorrow."
When will you be back?
"I'll come back after I finish what I'm doing, but I'm not sure how long this will take."
Tomorrow he will accompany Qin Wenju to Lianwan City to discuss the shareholding accounts with Zheng Tuo.
I really don't know when I'll be back.
