About ten minutes before 6 p.m., Liang Liang received a page from Chen Min, who said that a car had been sent to pick them up and that they should wait at the hotel and not wander off.
Liu Yuyong suggested waiting outside.
In China, if you encounter this situation, very few people will sit quietly in a hotel and wait patiently; nine times out of ten, they will go out to the street to wait for a car.
Save time.
Liang Liang and the band members left the hotel and waited for their car on the street outside.
They had only been on the street for less than five minutes when a black minivan screeched to a halt in front of them.
"You guys are from the mainland, right, you're with the Blue Shark band?"
Liang Liang nodded: "Yes! We are the Blue Shark Band from the mainland."
"Get in the car!"
"Were you sent by Uncle Chen to pick us up?" Liang Liang asked before getting into the car.
It's never too late to ask questions before you go online.
“We were sent by Brother Min.”
"Where are you taking us, Uncle Chen?"
Being in a foreign land, one must be extremely careful.
"Brother Min said it's the Nuerbat Bar in Lan Kwai Fong!"
After everything aligned, Liang Liang and the band got into the car.
In just ten minutes, the van entered De Yi Li Street and arrived at No. 20 underground.
Lan Kwai Fong is a popular destination for both locals and tourists from around the world.
This place offers food from almost every corner of the world, long lines of handsome men and beautiful women, and you can often bump into celebrities here.
Liang Liang met Chen Min at a bar called Schnurrbart.
This bar, called Nurbat, serves fresh German beer, including non-alcoholic wheat beer, and offers German roasted pork knuckle, Black Forest ham, and farmer's sausage.
Chen Min was accompanied by a young man dressed in casual clothes who looked about 60% like Chen Min and had a somewhat unruly demeanor. He was probably Chen Min's son.
They also brought two muscular young men who stood behind Chen Min like wooden stakes.
Chen Min stood up, put his arm around Liang Liang's shoulder, and patted him twice on the shoulder: "Little Liang! I'm really happy to see your uncle. Come, come! Let me introduce my son to you first. This is my son, Chen Haojun! He's nineteen this year, a little over a year older than you."
The other party was Chen Min's son, and was even older than him, so Liang Liang naturally had to treat him with utmost respect.
"Brother Haojun!" Chen Haojun just glanced at Liang Liang and said, "Dad! Who is he that you're introducing me to? He's not even as old as me!"
"You bastard! So what if he's not as old as you? He's achieved a lot in music, while you just sit there all day playing the guitar and haven't accomplished anything."
"How come I haven't achieved anything? I'm about to form a band. Once we have the band, we'll go on stage, release records, and make a lot of money. But what has he achieved?"
Chen Min pointed at Liang Liang and the Blue Shark band members: "Your band is still nowhere to be seen, but they do have a band. These are the people from their Blue Shark band."
Chen Haojun glanced at the Blue Shark band members and curled his lip: "Blue Shark Band? Never heard of them! Anyway, I won't learn anything from them, they're not qualified!"
Chen Min slammed his fist on the table: "You damn bastard! Haven't I beaten you up lately? Are you trying to rebel now?!"
"Uncle Chen! Calm down!" Liang Liang quickly interjected, knowing that this was just making him a target of hatred!
Chen Min looked like he might just slap Chen Haojun across the face.
If Chen Haojun gets beaten up here, he won't dare to hate his father, but he will hate himself for the rest of his life.
"Xiao Liang! Listen to this kid, he deserves a beating!"
"Uncle Chen! Your way of educating people is outdated now. Young people these days need to be guided and enlightened."
"Stop pretending to be a good person. What right do you, a mainlander, have to act knowledgeable in front of my dad?"
Liang Liang took a good look at Chen Haojun, then turned to Chen Min.
"Uncle Chen! You don't mind if I say a few words to Brother Jun, do you?"
"Say what you want to say about him, don't give me any face."
Chen Haojun suddenly stood up, intending to leave.
“Sit still and behave yourself. If you dare to leave, I’ll break your legs.”
Chen Haojun didn't dare to leave after all. He sat down angrily and glared at Liang Liang with resentment in his eyes.
"Brother Haojun! Uncle Chen told me you're going to form a band. I'd like to ask what style you're going to form? Jazz, country, or metal?"
"What style of band I form is none of your business."
"It's alright! But I can give you some valuable information."
"You? What gives you the right?"
"Why should I? Since you asked, I'll tell you. I'm not trying to show off. You know Su Ennan, right? The four hit songs on his album that was a huge hit a couple of months ago were all written by our band. And the three most popular songs on the recent hit album 'Fairy and Prince' from Hong Kong, 'Legend,' 'Sky,' and 'I Can't Forget You,' were also written by our band. You know the band Beyond, right?"
"What does the band Beyond have to do with you?"
"Hehe! Sorry, but the title track 'I Like You' from Beyond's recent album 'Modern Stage' was also written by us."
Chen Haojun blinked for a long time: "Dad! This is the person you introduced to me? He's a complete braggart, did you hear that? He actually said that these Fire Brothers were all created by them. I'm worried that my teeth will be laughed out of me."
"Kid! You really shouldn't disbelieve me, these songs really were all written by them."
"I don't believe it!" Chen Haojun said firmly.
"Brother Haojun! Do you think we'd come up to you and brag like that?"
"I just don't believe it!"
"Then what will it take for you to believe me?"
"How can I believe you? It's simple. Go on stage and sing a song I've never heard before. If you can sing it, I'll believe you."
Most bars in Lan Kwai Fong have a stage, and bands often perform on stage.
At that moment, a Western band was performing on the stage of the bar, and their music was in the blues style.
"real?"
"real!"
"A real man's word is as good as a nail in the ground."
"Can you even sing? You're just putting on airs."
"Alright! Once those foreigners finish yelling, I'll show you what's what, but we won't be happy if they don't let us sing."
"They wouldn't dare! Xiao Wu! Go tell the lobby manager that we have a band going on stage to sing, and tell those foreigners to get the hell out of here!"
Chen Min issued the order directly.
One of his underlings turned and walked toward the bar's manager's office.
Just as the foreigners on stage finished singing one song and were about to continue with the next, a waiter came up from behind and called them off.
At this moment, the guy named Xiao Wu also returned, and without saying a word, he stood behind Chen Min.
The next moment, a middle-aged, overweight man in a suit came over with a fawning smile and a bow.
