Since the performance will continue tomorrow, there's no need to go home today.
Gao Xing paid the fare to the minibus and asked the driver to go home and pass on a message to his family, informing them of the situation. He then asked his family to explain the situation to the families of the other band members, so that their families wouldn't worry.
Then tomorrow at 1 p.m., we'll have a minibus come and pick them up.
They will stay in the city for a day.
Qin Wenju very attentively arranged accommodations for them at the Oriental Ballroom.
It wasn't that she was planning to have an affair with Liang Liang, but rather that Liang Liang would naturally be there for the opening ceremony of the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe that evening.
If he advertised it here, wouldn't his place be packed with customers?
This decision received support from all sides.
It goes without saying that Qin Wenju was delighted.
The peasant band is happy to stay here for one night. In the evening, they will see a show performed at the Oriental Dance Hall. Liang Liang and Wang Fan will temporarily collaborate with the Hongya Band to perform on stage.
This is a great opportunity to broaden your horizons.
Liang Liang also plans to bring the farmers' band onto the stage for a special appearance.
Besides the fact that both parties A and B were overjoyed, there was another party who was also happy.
The Red Cliff Band was naturally overjoyed by the presence of Liang Liang and Wang Fan. Being with these two experts meant they could benefit greatly simply by observing them without needing to be taught.
This is a joyous and happy situation.
After lunch, I happily distributed the money I had earned that day.
Qin Wenju gave 2,000 yuan, and the other income was 1,520 yuan.
The total is 3,520 yuan.
Liang Liang reiterated that he didn't want the money, and that the money would be divided among the five of them, with each person receiving 700 yuan.
Seven hundred yuan was like a huge sum of money to the members of this peasant band, enough to make them forget to eat and sleep.
They earned 700 yuan in one morning, a number they never dared to dream of.
Their income from farming for a year is only two or three times what they earn in this morning.
Their smiles were no longer just written on their faces, but began to bloom from their heels.
With money in my pocket, I feel calm and even my breathing becomes a bit heavier.
The three girls from the band went for a stroll together at the Commercial World across the street.
Actually, it was right after the New Year, and there wasn't much to buy; I was just showing off.
This is Liang Liang's description.
The Commercial World opened on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, which gave them space to stroll around.
Liang Liang warned them to be careful of pickpockets, lest they work hard to earn a little money only to have it stolen and fed to cats as soon as they step outside.
Liang Liang did not go for a stroll by the sea with them.
Based on his experience, he would rather unload a truckload of cement than go shopping with a woman.
He hid in the Oriental Dance Hall, staying with the Red Cliff Band.
The Red Cliff Band became interested in the song "Gong Xi Fa Cai" (Wishing You Prosperity), believing that singing it before their nightly show would definitely get the audience excited.
If they think it's good, they can sing it; this kind of commercial use doesn't require the copyright holder's permission.
Qin Wenju didn't sit idle either; she immediately found someone to make an advertising billboard as quickly as possible.
The billboard reads that Liang Liang, lead singer of the Blue Shark band, and Wang Fan, keyboardist, will be performing with the Oriental Song and Dance Troupe tonight to thank the people of Yahe.
They also put the name of the Gaobao Gushan Farmers' Band on a sign, which was placed in front of the Oriental Song and Dance Hall early on.
I was happy to be with Liang Liang and the Hongya Band, listening to them talk about music and exchanging techniques.
Just as they were talking with great interest, someone came in to report that someone outside was looking for the leader of a farmers' band.
Liang Liang was certainly not the leader of the peasant band; Gao Xing was.
However, before Gao Xing could go out to meet the person who was looking for him, a middle-aged woman who looked very imposing had already walked into the rehearsal hall of the Oriental Song and Dance Hall.
"You're the leader of that peasant band?" The middle-aged woman's tone was somewhat aggressive.
"I guess so, because I'm the one who brought this band out of the box."
"I am the manager of Hongdu Dance Hall. Tomorrow we will be hiring your band to attend our opening ceremony."
Hongdu Dance Hall?
This name caught Liang Liang's attention.
In the previous life, the Hongdu Dance Hall was the largest dance hall in Yahe and was famous throughout the entire city.
Equally famous as the nightclub is its female owner.
To borrow a phrase from twenty years in the future, this female boss has a thing for young, handsome men.
She would seduce any young, handsome man she fancied, and if that failed, she would pay him to be seduced.
It is said that many young people in Yahe have traded their youth for economic benefits.
Moreover, this woman has a triad background; she's very familiar with the street thugs in the southeast of Yahe.
This woman is not someone to be trifled with; it's best to avoid any contact with her.
"Uncle Gao! What happened?"
"This is Ms. Wei, the owner of Hongdu Dance Hall. She wants to hire our band for the opening ceremony of her dance hall tomorrow."
"Our schedule is already full tomorrow morning. We don't have time to take on any new jobs."
"Yes! I've already explained it to Boss Wei, and she said they can pay more."
"Hello Mr. Wei! Our band leader just said that our schedule for tomorrow's ceremony is already full. This isn't about paying more or less money; if you take someone's money, you have to serve them. So, Mr. Wei, we can only apologize."
When Liang Liang appeared, Wei Fenglian stared at him intently, her mind filled with images of Liang Liang's graceful demeanor on stage.
Compared to Liang Liang's charm, the male concubines she acquired through coercion or money seemed like ordinary, vulgar women.
Because she was lost in her own thoughts, she barely listened to anything Liang Liang said.
"Is there really no time left?"
“We’ve got a full schedule of work scheduled for tomorrow, from 9:00 to 10:30. You can’t exactly open your shop at 11:00, can you?”
"11 o'clock is definitely not possible, but before 9 o'clock is still fine. The Oriental Dance Hall opened at a little after 8 o'clock today, so let's choose the same time as the Oriental Dance Hall."
Holy crap! They're really sticking to this.
"Boss Wei! The Oriental Dance Hall did indeed hold its opening ceremony a little after eight o'clock, but they spent a lot of money. Is the Hongdu Dance Hall willing to spend that much money?"
How much did the Oriental Dance Hall cost?
"It's 10 times the price of other shops, which is 3,800 yuan. If you don't believe me, you can ask Manager Qin."
Liang Liang knew that Boss Wei would not ask Qin Wenju; they were competitors and disliked each other.
Even if she could ask Qin Wenju, if Qin Wenju understood the situation, she could probably quote a price of five thousand.
Qin Wenju is also quite adept at scheming against people.
"Money is no problem, it's settled then. You will perform in front of my Hongdu Dance Hall at 8:18 tomorrow morning."
Liang Liang's idea of using money to stop the other party also failed.
