There's a saying, "Too proud to suffer is too much," and that perfectly describes rock musicians.
The original purpose of playing rock music was to attract girls and have sex with a few more girls. How did it end up becoming some kind of spirit or ideology?
A group of people, all disheveled and huddled in a corner, have nothing but a few silly girls around them. What spare time do they have to criticize society?
Wouldn't it be better to just find a way to fill your stomach first?
Liang Liang really wanted to shove a big snot in their faces and then give them a free "What a messed up life."
If we divide the world into black and white and color, people like the Minus Forty Degrees band still live in a black and white world, which represents the past, darkness, and decadence.
Liang Liang doesn't want to live in the past; he needs sunshine, color, and high spirits.
Therefore, when he smiled at two stylishly dressed girls while crossing the street, he earned the nickname of a lunatic.
The two girls laughed heartily, turning back to gaze at each other affectionately as they walked.
After all, Liangliang's cityscape is quite dazzling.
Unfortunately, Liang Liang didn't see it. His attention was drawn to those four long, white legs, and he sighed inwardly, thinking it was a pity they weren't riding tricycles.
If someone with such long legs were to drive a tricycle, their business would be booming.
People were already working outside the entrance of the Maritime Ballroom.
In the morning, the art studio he contacted had already erected steel-welded scaffolding outside the entrance of the Haiyun Dance Hall, and workers were applying paint to the walls.
Their work this afternoon won't be very fruitful. They'll be lucky if they can sketch out a rough draft after laying the base layer on the wall. It will probably take at least two or three days before the Blue Shark Band can be honored by the public.
Stepping into the dance hall, a surprise appeared unexpectedly.
The surprise came from a woman.
"Sister Caixia! You're back?"
Hou Caixia's unexpected appearance filled Liang Liang with mixed joy and surprise.
"Staying at home is really boring, so I think it's better to go out and explore."
"Welcome to the Maritime Cabaret! This hug is a must!"
Liang Liang's hug wasn't the kind of fake, polite hug; that would be too insincere.
He simply picked up Hou Caixia and spun her around twice. This was quite practical, allowing him to deeply experience the exquisite beauty of her body.
"What a scoundrel!" Liang Liang's shameless behavior was met with contempt from Lan Zhi, and the direct consequence was that she screamed as Liang Liang picked her up and spun her around until she was dizzy.
Sui Fulu and Xu Hebin were incredibly envious; they also wanted to hug the beautiful woman and spin her around, but unfortunately, they didn't have the courage.
"Has Sister Mu given birth yet?"
"When I arrived, it was still a few days away. I estimate it will be around the end of this month."
"Anyone want to bet on whether it's a boy or a girl? I'll be the bookmaker."
Unfortunately, no one paid him any attention, and his dream of profiting from the game instantly failed.
Zheng Tuo hired two more waitresses and one accountant.
This brings the total number of female service staff in the maritime song and dance troupe to seven, which is basically enough to meet their service needs.
The band members arrived one after another. Wang Fan was in class in the afternoon, so Zhang Hua was temporarily pulled in to fill in on the keyboard.
"I have a few buddies who also play in bands, and they want to start a band. Can you give me some ideas?"
"Bring him over to take a look sometime and see what the conditions are like. If the conditions aren't good, it's better to find another job as soon as possible and not waste time on this."
"Then I'll bring them over to take a look in a couple of days."
A young man in a sharp suit walked into the Maritime Ballroom and handed a bouquet of roses to Ming Hongling, leaving her somewhat flustered.
This was the first time she had ever received flowers, and she didn't even know what it meant.
"When someone is pursuing you, Westerners are willing to engage in these insincere and hypocritical acts."
The young man who delivered the flowers simply stated that he was delivering them for someone else, and he didn't leave any information in the flowers, which made the flower delivery person mysterious.
But Liang Liang guessed that it was most likely that rich guy from last night.
"I once said that working here gives you the chance to marry a rich man, and look! Now, hasn't the rich man appeared?"
Ming Hongling curled her lip: "I don't believe your nonsense."
"Really! If I'm not mistaken, this person came to our nightclub last night. I'm pretty sure it's him. If he comes again tonight, then it's definitely him."
Ming Hongling didn't take it seriously and immediately gave the flowers to Hou Caixia.
Zhang Hua found a vase and kept the flowers in water, treating them like treasures.
Today is probably a day when flowers are in full bloom. Just as Zhang Hua was rinsing this bouquet with water, someone else delivered flowers.
Liang Liang was exhausted. These people hadn't learned anything else from watching Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas, but they had certainly learned how to act pretentious.
This time, the flowers were for Xiao Yu. Most girls would be all smiles when someone gives them flowers, but Xiao Yu showed a look of disgust. She only glanced at the flowers and never looked at them a second time.
After the person who delivered the flowers turned and left, he threw the flowers directly into the trash can.
The newly recruited girls kept saying it was a pity.
Liang Liang then remembered that Liu Yuyong had once said that Xiao Yu had run away to Yahe to escape her suitor, and this bouquet of flowers might have been sent by that suitor.
During a break in the band's rehearsal, Liang Liang approached Sui Fulu and Xu Hebin, who were watching the commotion from below the stage.
"Are you settling in well? Do you miss home?"
Liang Liang took a pack of cigarettes out of his pocket and tossed it to the two of them.
These are the cigarettes left over from when I treated everyone this morning; they haven't been unsealed yet.
"You're already homesick after only a few days? We're not that pathetic!"
“You’re wrong. You only start to miss home when you first come here. The longer you stay, the less you miss it. If you have any thoughts or opinions about the work, just tell me. Don’t be shy. I’ll help you solve anything I can.”
"I don't have any complaints. The work here isn't very tiring, so I don't have any complaints. What about you, Fulu?"
"I don't have any either. It's still easier than doing farm work at home."
The work in the dance hall wasn't physically demanding, so it was much easier than working in the fields, and they even provided food and lodging.
The downside is that when you're busy, you don't have much free time.
"Then do a good job! This kind of work isn't about how strong you are, it's mainly about having good eyesight and not noticing whether you're doing the work or not. To put it simply, it's about how diligent you are."
If you are diligent and attentive, you will naturally gain the boss's appreciation over time, gradually becoming a foreman, and eventually a department head or manager.
"Liang Liang! We came here with you, and we promise we won't let you down."
Liang Liang nodded: "Let's do it for now! If we can't make it here, we'll learn a trade. In a city the size of Lianwan, having a trade is enough to support a family."
These two guys have no musical talent whatsoever, so there's not much of a future for them in that field. They wouldn't even be good as assistants; they're too honest and reliable.
Let's stay here for now and see if we can find a way to help them in the future.
The band's rehearsal continued until after four o'clock.
The dance hall will open for business around 5 o'clock.
