Chapter Ninety: The Gambler



When the Blue Shark band was playing "When Dreams Awaken," more than a dozen people came in one after another.

These people included young and middle-aged individuals, and most of them appeared to be business people.

Although there weren't many people yet, Liang Liang already felt happy.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. Although this start is not yet impressive, at least it hasn't fallen into a slump.

And there was a guy who looked like the boss with a pretty girl inside.

They look like the kind of rich man and his mistress that were popular during this period.

After the song "When Dreams Awaken" ended, Li Zhizhou gesticulated wildly and led the applause, which was then sparsely heard throughout the dance hall.

"Hey guys, how's it going? I told you, didn't I? This band's lead singer has an amazing voice, one in fifty years. Bro! Give me another song, 'Lover and Comrade'."

Li Zhizhou then requested a second song.

It's really a good thing to have someone like Li Zhizhou leading the way at this time, otherwise it would easily become awkward.

Without any hesitation, Liang Liang and the band immediately began singing "Lover and Comrade".

After singing "Lover and Comrade," Li Zhizhou loudly requested another song, "Grey Bird."

This guy has finally started requesting songs by the Blue Shark band themselves.

Just then, the man who looked like the boss snapped his fingers.

Zhang Hua immediately ran over there eagerly.

"My girlfriend wants to listen to 'Blue Lotus,' she wants to listen now, no need to change." The shopkeeper took out a ten-yuan bill and put it on the plate.

Each song costs five yuan, and the remaining five yuan is the tip.

Zhang Hua hesitated for a moment: "Boss! I need to ask the band about this. After all, table number five has already requested a song. Let me see if the band can change it for you."

Zhang Hua took the song request list to the small stage and handed the song requested by the shop owner to Liang Liang.

The band was all set to play their accompaniment when a request came in asking for a song to be performed immediately.

Liang Liang glanced at the shop owner and a sincere smile appeared on her face.

Good fortune is shining upon us.

"Sir! Your request for our song is the greatest support you can give us. On behalf of the band, I would like to express my gratitude to you. However, unfortunately, the gentleman at table number five has already requested his song. We'll have to wait until this song is finished before we can play yours. We're really sorry."

"My girlfriend wants to hear this now!"

Liang Liang spread his hands: "Boss! This is putting us in a difficult position. How about I discuss it with table number five?"

Liang Liang turned to Li Zhizhou's table.

"Sir, could you please make an exception? This gentleman's girlfriend wants to hear first, you see..."

While speaking, Liang Liang subtly gave Li Zhizhou a wink.

He wasn't sure if Li Zhizhou would understand his intentions.

Li Zhizhou is a guy who has dealt with countless people; he's experienced and his comprehension ability is absolutely amazing.

"Of course not! We ordered first, so we have to sing our songs first. No matter how much more money he offers, it's not okay."

Excellent! Dealing with people like this is the best – so satisfying!

Although Li Zhizhou said that it wouldn't work even if the other party offered more money, it sounded more like a reminder to the other party.

Li Zhizhou's words seemed to remind the shopkeeper, who then quickly pulled out another ten-yuan bill.

"I'll add another ten yuan!"

Liang Liang was so angry that he cursed inwardly: Damn it, you think you can win a smile from a beauty by adding ten yuan? Can you be any more stingy?

But his face showed no sign of it; it remained full of a sincere smile.

"Boss! This isn't about raising the price; we have principles in business too..."

Liang Liang originally wanted to provoke the other party with words, but Li Zhizhou kept bringing up his family.

Li Zhizhou pulled out a fifty-yuan note: "So what if you're rich! Sing the songs I requested. Not only this one, but the next two songs are also on my list."

After saying that, he looked at the middle-aged boss with a smug expression.

Liang Liang really wanted to rush over and kiss Li Zhizhou on the face.

These are the good young people in society. If Lianwan had 500,000 young people like this, its economy would have been the best in the country long ago.

"This isn't right, boss. Even though you ordered first, the other person still ordered the next song. How come you've already taken the next song?" Liang Liang said, playing the bad cop.

"I have plenty of money!" Li Zhizhou said, looking like he had a lot of money.

The boss, who had a mistress, was so angry he almost snapped his fingers.

A young man in a suit behind him immediately handed him a black leather bag.

Without even looking, the boss reached into his bag, grabbed a handful of the four giants, slammed them on the table, and then beckoned to the waiter.

Based on the thickness of the stack of bills, Liang Liang guessed how much money was in it.

Zhang Hua immediately ran over with the plate in hand and a fawning expression.

"Boss! What can I do for you?"

The boss slammed the wad of cash into the plate: "I'll cover the band's songs tonight, that's all the money I have, start singing now!"

Thinking for a moment, he took out another bill and stuffed it into Zhang Hua's hand: "Here's a reward for you!"

After saying that, the boss leaned back on the sofa and said, "Bring me a cigarette!"

The young man who had just handed the bag immediately took out a cigarette and handed it to the boss, then lit it with both hands.

The boss took a drag of his cigarette, turned his head, and looked at Li Zhizhou with a smug expression.

"Comparing yourself to me in wealth? Bah! You should take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror."

Li Zhizhou didn't mince words: "So what if you have money?"

"That's impressive! If you're so capable, try throwing money at me and see what happens."

Li Zhizhou isn't stupid. As long as he achieves his goal, that's enough. If he really smashes things, where will he get the money?

Although it still made a few smacking noises with its mouth, it stopped moving altogether.

Liang Liang was overjoyed. She never expected to meet such a lucky guy on the very first day of business. The world is truly wonderful.

After calculation, he estimated that the stack of cash was at least three or four thousand, and possibly more.

Having a sugar daddy like this tonight is good enough.

If you catch a rich guy like that in one night, a happy life is just around the corner.

"Sing all the songs you know, and I'll give you a tip if you do a good job!" The boss said confidently, pulling out a wad of cash from his bag and slamming it on the table.

Upon hearing that there was a tip, Liang Liang's eyes immediately brightened by several kilowatts.

He deliberately shouted loudly, "Hey guys, did you hear that? Today is the first day our dance troupe opens and the God of Wealth has already come into our lives! Everyone, cheer up and perform well! The God of Wealth said there will be a big reward! Whether we can get out of poverty and become rich depends on tonight."

Since that fool slammed the money on the table, we can't let him put it back.

"A stunningly beautiful lady wishes to hear 'Blue Lotus,' and the Blue Shark Band will now grant her request. Beautiful lady, please accept the blessings of the Blue Shark Band and the Shipping Cabaret, wishing you and your husband a long and happy marriage!"

Since flattery doesn't cost money, Liang Liang wasn't stingy at all. Regardless of whether the other party was a couple or not, he would first paint the walls with nice words.

The woman, whose looks were only slightly above average, was ecstatic.

He deliberately leaned his body against the middle-aged boss, which made Liang Liang shudder.

Start singing right away, or you'll definitely sing off-key if you keep looking at it.
