At ten o'clock in the evening, Wen Liang called Xu Yao, Ji Su, Liu Zhi, Yang Yang, Ren Yi, Zhang Song, Jiang Tao and others to come and sing for Tan Yu's first bar. Ning Xiaoning was taken to the army by his father after returning from Mingzhu, and could not come out at night. A group of people also bought light sticks. If it weren't for the lack of time, they would have ordered several sets of uniforms and printed the words of Tan Yu Fans Global Support Association. Anyway, it looked quite real.
Xu Yao has always been very enthusiastic about this kind of gathering. She looked around, took Ji Su's arm and asked, "Where's Meng Ke? Why didn't she come?"
Ji Su frowned slightly, with a worried look on his face, and said: "I called her and she said she was not feeling well..."
Wen Liang turned her head to glance at Ji Su. She probably didn't know much about what happened in Meng Ke's family. But this was understandable. There were some things that even sisters as close as sisters would rather keep in their hearts and not reveal to others.
Without saying anything, he casually pushed open the door of the bar. The inside was crowded and bustling, as if a magazine of explosives had been ignited with sparks. Roars, screams, and laughter were accompanied by occasional quarrels and curses. Fashionably dressed beauties shuttled back and forth in the hall like butterflies, their enchanting figures mixed with intoxicating body fragrance, like invisible aphrodisiacs, violently stimulating men's hormones, making it easy for people to get lost in this drunken environment. Compared with the outside, it was like two completely different worlds.
Everyone found a booth near the back and sat down. Liu Zhihe ordered wine and fruit plates with ease, speaking a lot of professional terms. He was obviously a veteran driver who had been through many battles. This made Ren Yi envious. Together with Zhang Song, Jiang Tao and others, he shamelessly flattered the little godfather.
Liu Zhihe was very pleased with what he heard, but when he looked up, he saw Yang Yang's thoughtful eyes. He cursed inwardly and immediately changed his words to defend himself, saying seriously, "You don't understand, I only know a little bit of it from Boss Wen during our last chat. If we talk about experts, he is the real one!"
Liu Zhihe gave a thumbs up, then smiled at Yang Yang and said, "Don't listen to what Ren Yi and the others say. This is my first time here..."
This is the art of language. This was indeed the first time Liu Zhihe came to this bar, but he had been to places like bars more times than Yang Yang had ever heard of.
Wen Liang was used to being framed by this group of shameless guys, so he ignored them and just thought they were talking nonsense. Unexpectedly, Yang Yang didn't let him go. He leaned on the table with one hand on his chin and asked with interest, "Wen Liang, is that so?"
Liu Zhihe quickly gave him a veiled look, and Wen Liang could only silently say that he took the blame, and said with a smile: "I did mention this to Zhihe, a bar is a place where people can relax, and it's no big deal to come and have some fun."
"That's right, come on, the drinks are here, go one by one." Ren Yi and the others also knew that they had caused trouble, so they followed Wen Liang's words and fooled the matter away. The waiter happened to bring them beer, and they immediately started drinking with great interest.
Yang Yang's beautiful eyes moved, and she quietly approached Xu Yao and whispered, "Why don't you take care of him? I heard that there are all kinds of women in the bar..."
Xu Yao smiled slightly, her eyes gently brushed across Wen Liang's profile, a hint of tenderness naturally emerged at the corners of her lips, and she said: "He always knows what he is doing..."
After two rounds of drinking, everyone talked about the interesting things they had experienced. With Wen Liang's knowledge and eloquence, he easily became the focus of attention, and the group of people who listened to him laughed endlessly. Yang Yang laughed so hard that his stomach hurt, and said, "How come you know a little bit about everything?"
Wen Liang shrugged and said with a smile: "If someone asks me, I will say that it is because I am gifted and too smart. But we are talking to each other, let me tell you the truth, the reason why I know everything is because I am a reincarnated master..."
"Reincarnation?" Yang Yang blinked his big eyes, looking confused.
Xu Yao explained in a serious tone: "Do you know the living Buddha in Tibet? There is a song that goes, oh my, it makes the old and young, men and women all confused, Amitabha is passed down from generation to generation..."
Listening to Xu Yao imitating the tune of a popular song but randomly changing the lyrics, Yang Yang almost laughed to the point of choking and clapped his hands, "Reincarnated spirit child?"
Wen Liang nodded subtly, sitting upright, with the demeanor of a master, and said, "Although I am not in the same system as them, the meaning is similar."
“Wow, that’s amazing!”
Although the girls were about to burst into laughter, they still tried to save face for Wen Liang, pestering him with questions about what kind of transportation he took in his reincarnation, what the scenery was like along the way, and so on. Liu Zhihe looked at the scene in front of him and sighed, "Do you know what I admire most about Boss Wen?"
"What?" Ren Yi was very conscious of being the supporting actor.
"No matter what kind of bullshit he tells, he can always make it sound fresh and refined..."
When the crowd was in a frenzy, a flashing light shone on the stage in the middle of the dance floor. Tan Yu, wearing a black Zhongshan suit and holding a guitar, slowly appeared in everyone's sight with his band members. The glaring light spread around him, and the people under the stage couldn't see his face clearly, but from his body trembling slightly with his coat, it could be seen how nervous he was at the moment.
However, when he took a deep breath and saw Wen Liang, the only person who stood up not far away, smiling and raising his thumb high to him, his rapidly beating heart immediately calmed down.
"You kept asking me when you would come with me..."
With the rapid swing of fingers, the notes that once influenced a generation of people, sang out from Tan Yu's mouth the passion and excitement that only young people have. Real rock is not just a criticism of reality and a vent for fate, but a unique way of expression formed by integrating various musical styles. It is simple, rough, passionate, intense, clear, but has achieved a high degree of unity. It is not against power, but against the confinement of thought. It is not against coldness, but against publicity and morbidity. It is hated by many people, but sought after by more people.
At the end of the day, let music be music!
Several people present had heard Tan Yu sing before, but most of them were hearing him sing rock for the first time, especially in a bar, a place that was best suited to creating an atmosphere. Ji Su was obviously shocked, and it was not until the singing stopped for a long time that he came back to his senses and said, "It's really nice, I didn't expect..."
"Yeah, I've always said that if the opportunity is good, maybe one of our classmates will become a singer..." Wen Liangyou suddenly remembered his past life. How many times did Tan Yu pick his toes and blow beer into his mouth, cursing and saying that if he had chosen the path of music, there would have been no Jian Feng. This was bragging, but in his heart, Tan Yu's dream of music might have been suppressed for many years, but it never dissipated.
People with dreams should always have the right to be given a chance, right
Ji Su asked again: "Didn't you say that Tan Yu could write his own songs? With such a good opportunity today, why don't you sing your own songs? Maybe you will become famous just like this..."
Being a bar singer is not as easy as one might imagine, especially for new singers like Tan Yu who have not even made their debut yet. If they sing their own songs at the beginning, the risk is too great. If they don’t sell well, they will immediately lose the market and it will be difficult to make a name for themselves. So in general, it is safer to sing some well-known songs that are widely circulated. It is not too late to sing your own songs after you have become famous.
Wen Liang naturally didn't need to explain these unspoken rules of society to Ji Su, and smiled and said, "Take your time, there's no rush..."
The performance that night was quite good, and Tan Yu even received a large tip from a rich woman. The bar manager was originally giving Wen Liang a face, but now he really wanted Tan Yu to come and sing a few more shows. After finishing the work, in order to celebrate the success of Tan Yu's debut, Wen Liang led everyone to the food stalls. It was not that he was stingy, but at this time, only those magical food stalls were still open.
Zheng Xiaolong, who was still angry with Wen Liang during the day, also came along, but his attitude was much more honest, and his obsession with not shaking hands also disappeared. He really didn't expect Wen Liang to be so powerful. He arranged a bar right away, and it was one of the largest bars in the city. Wen Liang didn't care about him at all. He patted his shoulder and praised him for playing the bass, which made Zheng Xiaolong feel comfortable all over. He sat on the stool and behaved like a rabbit.
The commotion lasted until two or three in the morning. Wen Liang called a taxi and asked Liu Zhihe to take Yang Yang home, Ren Yi, Zhang Song, Jiang Tao and others to take one, Tan Yu and his group members to take another, and he took Xu Yao and Ji Su. After getting in the car, he asked the driver to go to Ji Su's house first, but Xu Yao said, "Su Su and I will sleep tonight, let's go directly to Chunxi Road."
Wen Liang looked at Ji Su, and Ji Su smiled and said, "We just discussed it. I'm bored at home alone, so why not sleep with Yaoyao?"
Wen Liang couldn't help but imagine the scene of two little lolita Haitang sleeping in spring. If the taxi driver wasn't there, he really wanted to say "take me with you".
He sent the two girls to the door and watched them go in. Just as he was about to turn the taxi around, Xu Yao hurried out again and said, "My dad asked you to go in."
Wen Liang was surprised and asked, "Secretary Xu hasn't slept yet?"
Xu Yao stuck out her tongue and said, "He was reviewing documents. When he heard us come back and asked, he knew you were here too, so he asked me to call you. I don't know what's going on."
Wen Liang frowned and said, "Could it be that you came back late tonight and are planning to do some ideological work on me?"
Xu Yao also thought of this possibility. She glared at him, looking very cute. She said, "I asked for leave from him. If he wants to settle the score later and punish me without teaching, I will also do some ideological work on him. I guarantee that he won't be able to sleep tonight!"
"Okay, I'll be happy with your promise!"
Wen Liang joked, but in his heart he was wondering why Xu Fuyan came to see him so late at night. Had he done anything wrong recently? (To be continued)
