At four o'clock sharp, Qin Wenju's car arrived at the dance troupe's residence on time.
Liang Liang changed into a cleaner set of clothes, greeted the troupe leader and the landlady, and then got into Qin Wenju's car.
There's a hotel next to the local arcade that's considered top-tier even in Yahe City.
However, Qin Wenju's car passed by the hotel without entering, and instead arrived at a hotel in the west of the city that did not look particularly luxurious.
She knew many people in the area, so of course she wouldn't choose that hotel.
We went straight to a private room on the second floor after entering the hotel.
In 1993, hotels in northern China were considered high-class if they had private rooms.
"Sit here." Qin Wenju naturally pulled Liang Liang's arm, which was exposed outside his short sleeve, and led him to a seat on the east side.
Although she appeared very calm, her heart trembled several times.
Liang Liang's bare arms were warm and smooth, with a taut feeling of muscle expansion.
It gave her a very solid feeling, which couldn't help but make her feel unsettled.
This surprised Qin Wenju herself, as if she were recalling the electric feeling she had when she first came into contact with a member of the opposite sex at the age of eighteen or nineteen, a feeling that was both tense and exciting.
"Order whatever you want to eat. Don't act like an outsider." She tried her best to speak calmly.
Qin Wenju's words were very tactful, and she intended to bring the two of them closer.
Liang Liang ordered sweet and sour pork ribs.
"Just one?"
"There are only two of us, it would be a waste to order too much!"
"That won't do. We can't just have two dishes. Order another one, and we can save the rest if we can't finish it." Qin Wenju's voice was very gentle.
Liang Liang then ordered another casserole tofu.
Qin Wenju ordered shredded pork with sweet bean sauce and braised donkey meat.
Liang Liang stated during his evening performance that he wouldn't drink alcohol, so he only ordered a few bottles of soft drinks, which was a bit disappointing.
While waiting for the food to be served, Liang Liang yawned.
I had two performances yesterday. I was woken up by those women at around 7 a.m. and didn't get a nap at noon, so I was quite tired.
If we're not moving to another place tonight, we must go to bed early and get a good night's sleep.
"Liang Liang! What time do you usually get up in the morning?" Qin Wenju asked with concern when she saw Liang Liang yawning.
"Normally it's around eight o'clock."
"You got up so late?"
"Why get up so early? The nightclub isn't open."
Qin Wenju chuckled.
"You little brat! You even know about nightclubs? Do you go there often? I don't think we have any nightclubs in Yahe City."
At that time, only large cities in the north had nightclubs and dance halls; small cities like Yahe City really didn't have such places.
Qin Wenju knew that Liang Liang couldn't possibly have been to any nightclubs, but she was just trying to keep the conversation going.
"I've never been there, I've only seen it in TV dramas. Since we don't have one in Yahe City, why don't you open a nightclub or a dance hall or something?"
"I've had that idea, but I'm a little hesitant because I don't know if it will be profitable!"
"Of course it will be profitable. That business is very lucrative. Now, a thing called a DVD player is about to be released. You can buy a set for around ten thousand yuan and use it to select songs and sing. It's very convenient. However, those who run this kind of business need to keep the place under control, otherwise, street thugs will cause trouble."
Wanyan Electronics should already be making VCDs, if Jiang Wanmeng were still alive in this life.
However, even if he hadn't appeared in this world, someone else would have made the DVD player.
“There won’t be any troublemakers. I’m just worried about not making money.”
"It's definitely going to make money, go for it! Our boss said you want to advertise in our dance troupe?"
"I've noticed that your dance troupe has quite a bit of influence. We're planning to put our Oriental Game Hall name on your train carriages and tents to expand the Oriental Game Hall's influence."
This woman is quite shrewd; she already has a brand awareness.
At this point, the waiter brought out all the dishes they had ordered.
After the waiter left, Qin Wenju closed the door.
"This is a small matter. The troupe leader will certainly not object if it can generate revenue. The key is what price you offer."
"Let's eat first, and chat while we eat."
The two began their meal with soft drinks instead of alcohol.
But as they were eating, Liang Liang suddenly realized the atmosphere was off.
"Sister Qin! Why are you staring at me like that?"
The woman stared intently at him, her eyes seeming to flicker with fire.
"I feel full just looking at you."
"Sis! Am I that ugly that it affects my appetite?"
Qin Wenju smiled, a smile full of charm.
"Oh! That's not what I meant. There's an idiom that goes something like that, I remember now, it's called 'beauty is food for the eyes'."
Liang Liang was immediately annoyed, because he was a man.
"Sis! You're using the wrong words. That's for describing a woman, but I'm a man."
"I know you're a man, and that word is quite fitting for you," Qin Wenju said with a tender look.
This woman seems to be in heat; things can't go on like this, or there will be problems.
"Sis! You still haven't told us what price you're willing to pay for advertising on our dance floor?" Liang Liang changed the subject.
"I don't want to discuss this issue now, let's change the subject."
"Sister Na! Do you have children?"
Qin Wenju shook her head.
"Weren't you married before?"
"We're divorced!"
Holy crap! This is dangerous!
"The two couldn't get along, and since they didn't have children, they divorced three years ago."
"How does it feel to be divorced?" Liang Liang deliberately stabbed Qin Wenju in the heart, reopening her wounds, hoping that she would stop overthinking.
"Don't even mention it. That year was the most painful year of my life. I was in a daze, like I had taken a hard fall on the road of life."
Qin Wenju picked up her drink and took a sip.
"Life is never smooth sailing. There will inevitably be times when you fall down. I think it's okay to fall down. The important thing is to lie down wherever you fall and then fall asleep."
Qin Wenju was taken aback.
"Pfft!" The drink she had just taken a sip of sprayed out like a shower of flowers, covering Liang Liang sitting opposite her head, face, and upper body.
"Hahaha! Oh! I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!"
Qin Wenju laughed so hard she was shaking. She stood up and walked to Liang Liang's side to wipe the liquid off Liang Liang's body.
But is this action really wiping away water stains?
Shouldn't you use a rag or something to wipe away water stains? You're just touching him all over with your hands; isn't that just trying to take advantage of the situation?
"Sis! It's okay, it's okay. It's hot now, it'll dry in a bit."
"Besides giving your dance troupe 800 yuan a month for advertising, I also bought you an electric guitar and an electric bass." Qin Wenju's soft voice drifted into Liang Liang's ears.
Although the voice was soft, Liang Liang felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
Although he knew he would have these things sooner or later, he didn't expect them to arrive so quickly.
That Red Cotton guitar wasn't very handy, and he really longed for an electric guitar or electric bass.
I've dreamed about them several times.
Now this thing is actually coming.
It has to be said that Qin Wenju's knife was very accurate; it really stabbed him in the heart.
This made him feel weak all over and his brain shut down.
During the process of dementia, Liang Liang watched as Qin Wenju's face grew larger and larger, and in his hazy vision, he saw Qin Wenju's red lips and the white teeth inside them.
In a daze, Liang Liang felt like a lamb to the slaughter.
A few minutes later…
When he came to his senses from his dazed state, Qin Wenju was already sitting on his lap, her arms around his neck, looking at him with a flushed face.
His two eyes were like two bottomless pools of water, threatening to swallow him whole.
