Chapter Eighty-Six: A Name Is Needed



Xiao Yu smiled without saying a word, looking mysterious and unpredictable. When she put her sunglasses on her eyes, she seemed to radiate light.

What is the purpose of this woman carrying an awl with her?

Seeing the gleaming awl, Liang Liang felt the pain in her thigh where the needle had been inserted intensify.

Quickly check the stab wound; thankfully, it should be fine.

Liang Liang placed a cloth bag between the two men as a boundary between Chu and Han, so that neither side would interfere with the other's affairs, and they would each go their own way.

The rest of the journey was much more tedious. Although Xiao Yu always had a smile on her face, Liang Liang kept her mouth tightly shut and was determined not to speak until they reached their destination.

Alas! Words can be dangerous!

At 1 p.m., the car arrived in Lianwan City.

The Oriental Square in Wanzhou District is a bus station. The four of them got off at the Oriental Square, ate a bowl of ramen each at a ramen stall, and then arrived at the Haiyun Song and Dance Troupe.

It took Liang Liang three days to go and come back. During those three days, the Maritime Song and Dance Troupe was also busy.

Zheng Tuo led three women to thoroughly clean the dance hall inside and out, and only then did the dance hall look presentable.

Liang Liang introduced his two childhood friends to Zheng Tuo: "These two are my neighbors, the kind who grew up naked. They also wanted to try their luck out here. I thought that once our dance troupe starts operating, we'll need male waiters or something, so I brought them here."

People live for their spirit and vitality. Zheng Tuo seems like a different person now. The decadent look on his face has completely disappeared, and he is even glowing with health.

"Welcome, welcome! Xiaoming! Please arrange a place for them to stay."

Sui Fulu and Xu Hebin went with Ming Hongling.

"Sister Lanzhi! This is Xiao Yu, the drummer I invited. Take her to see the drums, and learn from her whenever you have free time."

Lanzhi took Xiaoyu to the small stage.

Liang Liang and Zheng Tuo then went to the office.

Liang Liang took out 30,000 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zheng Tuo for accounting.

Looking at the money, Zheng Tuo was somewhat moved. This kid had actually managed to get the money, and even more than he had expected.

After the transaction was completed, Liang Liang applied for another four thousand yuan.

This is the money for buying an electronic keyboard.

Businesses run by two people are not easy to do. If one of them has ulterior motives or both of them have ulterior motives, the business will fall apart within a few days.

The best way to eliminate such selfishness is to ensure transparency in the accounts and fair distribution of profits.

It starts with making every penny open and transparent.

Liang Liang's task is to buy a keyboard and gather a band for rehearsals.

He was in charge of the band and its operations.

Zheng Tuo is in charge of logistics. His current tasks include completing various formalities, paying various fees, finding someone to renovate the troupe's appearance, replacing the signboard, repairing equipment that hasn't been used for a long time, and purchasing various alcoholic beverages and drinks.

After he finished meeting with Zheng Tuo, Xiao Yu also finished testing the drums.

She was very satisfied with the drum set and went home after trying it out.

She has been away from home for a long time, so she should go home and say hello to her family.

Knowing that she would definitely go back to the Confused Bar that night, Liang Liang asked her to pass on a message to Liu Yuyong, telling him to come to the dance troupe at eight o'clock the next morning.

Seeing that there was still time, Liang Liang ran to a nearby copy shop to print out the sheet music that the band would be rehearsing and performing in the future.

He had already copied these sheet music pieces, but he hadn't printed them out yet.

The sheet music to be printed, apart from a few other pieces, is mostly Liang Liang's own music, including four pieces written for Su Ennan.

Because Su Ennan's album will be released next month, once the album is released, he will be able to use these songs commercially.

Print it out now, so you don't have to print it again later.

After printing the sheet music, Liang Liang came out of the copy shop and ran into a young man in his mid-twenties. The young man was carrying a stack of manuscripts and was walking blindly without looking where he was going, almost bumping into Liang Liang.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Huh?"

The young man hurriedly apologized, then exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you the young man who sings in Bi Sheng's song and dance troupe?"

Liang Liang then took a closer look at the other person.

A bespectacled, well-mannered young man in his mid-twenties, but he certainly didn't recognize him.

"You know me?"

"Are you the lead singer of Bi Sheng's dance troupe?"

Have you seen our performances?

The young man excitedly approached Liang Liang.

"I've seen your performance and I was very impressed with you."

I consider myself a fan.

Liang Liang was prepared to exchange a few words with the other party and then go back, but one sentence from the other party caught his attention.

"My name is Li Zhizhou. I am a reporter and editor for the entertainment section of Lianwan Evening News. I have written reports about your song and dance troupe."

Liang Liang immediately recalled an article published in the Lianwan Evening News before Bi Sheng's dance troupe's last daytime performance, introducing their program.

"Was that article about our song and dance troupe published in the Lianwan Evening News that day written by you, brother?"

Li Zhizhou nodded.

"Brother Li! We absolutely have to shake hands. It's getting dark, so let me treat you to dinner!"

The other party was a reporter and editor from the entertainment section of the best-selling evening newspaper in Lianwan City.

Liang Liang believes this is a very promising job and a very useful profession for him.

"Oh no, no! I haven't finished get off work yet. I need to print out this manuscript and rush back to the newspaper office."

"What a coincidence! How about another day... tomorrow at noon? Come to Oriental Plaza tomorrow at noon. I'm working at Haiyun Dance Hall now. I'll treat you to lunch tomorrow. It's settled then."

Liang Liang left her contact information and also took Li Zhizhou's pager number.

Then he hurriedly returned to the karaoke bar.

After dinner, he took Sui Fulu and Xu Hebin to the dormitory of Hongxing Machinery Factory.

Wang Fan happens to be off work tomorrow morning, so we'll need him to help us buy the piano.

At 8 a.m. on the 13th, all the band members arrived.

Their task for the morning was to buy an electronic keyboard.

At the largest shopping mall in Lianwan, Bohai Mall, after careful selection, Wang Fan chose a black Yamaha PSR410 electronic keyboard.

At the time, this was the most expensive piano on the market, priced at 3,500 yuan.

It was almost 10 o'clock when we hired a car to bring the electronic keyboard back to the Maritime Song and Dance Troupe.

A renovation team has arrived outside the gate of the Maritime Song and Dance Troupe, painting the walls and replacing the sign.

Since the troupe is called Haiyun (meaning "Maritime Transport"), then azure blue is essential.

After the walls are painted, new promotional posters will be painted on them.

The electronic keyboard was carried into the hall and placed on the stage.

Now that all the instruments and musicians are in place, Liang Liang feels that something is still missing: the band needs a name.
