"We have been old classmates for so many years. I definitely can't fool you with the price I offer to outsiders!"
When Jiang Kan frankly expressed his doubts, Liu Zhiheng laughed boldly and said cheerfully.
"When I was in school, I was always laughed at because of my accent when I spoke Mandarin. You didn't care about that at all, and we became good friends. Do you think I should help you?"
Jiang Kan was suddenly startled and sensitively heard the key points of his words.
"Help me? You..."
The wine bottle he had put to his mouth was put down, and he looked seriously into the other person's eyes.
"Did you hear something about me..."
"Hey, this guy has a really good brain. You caught me with just one sentence..."
Liu Zhiheng also put the wine bottle on the table and shrugged helplessly. He didn't know if he learned this action from his European and American customers.
"I won't hide it from you. I did hear about your recent situation from a classmate here in Chengdu... You are middle-aged, unemployed, and divorced. Life must be very difficult, right?"
"So isn't this just a coincidence? I'm going to open a bar here, and I happened to see your Moments video again. I thought we could complement each other. You help me support the place, and I also provide you with a way to make money. Don’t you think it’s a good opportunity to make extra money?”
The Zhejiang merchant was straightforward in his speech, and the relationship between the two of them in college was quite good, so Liu Zhiheng still spoke to him in the same tone as when he communicated with Jiang Kan in school, without any pretense.
"Hey...I think it's okay to come and stay for a while...but you're giving too much, aren't you? Brothers have to settle their accounts openly. You're breaking the rules by doing this!"
Jiang Kan shook his head helplessly, but a warmth rose in his heart.
It's hard to find friends who can help you when you are in the most difficult time.
"Hey, don't be polite to me. After all, you need to hire a resident singer when you open the business. I might as well give you an advantage. Come on, have a drink!"
As he spoke, he raised his cup.
"Resident singer, I can come, but your price is too high and I deserve it! Even with half the price, I feel like I'm taking advantage of you!"
"Hey, how can you help me save money? Okay, let's give it a half discount. The singing fee is five hundred per day, and we'll split the gift in half. Is that okay? If you find something of your own later and can't think of it, tell me in advance Just say hello to me once a week!”
"Okay, you guy, I didn't expect you to be my boss in more than ten years... I wish I had flattered you more, hahaha!"
"Hey, are you talking about this? I didn't know that I could earn so much money now. It's all my life. It's all my life. Just do it!"
"Fuck it, haha!"
That night, the two of them drank a case of beer.
He didn't even go back, he just chatted on the sofa in the bar, about college life, entrepreneurship, struggle, the bar, and their future plans.
As time passed, both of them gradually became drunk and fell asleep on the sofa.
…
Since Liu Zhiheng's bar still has some qualifications, renovations, and hiring issues, it can't open yet, so Jiang Kan can still be a free man for a short period of time.
During this time, he bought a lot of music books from a certain website, starting from the most basic knowledge, constantly improving his understanding of all aspects of music, and making sufficient preparations for his future fame. .
But the first thing to bear the brunt is that there is another singing task that needs to be completed this week.
Otherwise, the 1% of hair loss will really be an unbearable burden for middle-aged men.
This time, he chose Taikoo Li as his destination, the largest gathering place for people who are not working in Chengdu.
Yu Kai didn't come with him this time. After all, he also had to go to work, so it was impossible to take leave every day to accompany him.
"Ahem..."
Setting up the equipment, he cleared his throat into the microphone.
Then naturally, it attracted the attention of a large group of people.
"Hey, someone is setting up a stall and singing!"
"Is this another new internet celebrity anchor?"
"Let's go over and have a look!"
People gathered around him, and in less than two minutes, the place where Jiang Kan was was surrounded by dozens of people.
Love to watch the excitement is indeed the eternal blood heritage of the Chinese people.
"Ahem...Hello everyone, my name is Kankanertan, a 'newcomer' who wants to be a singer."
Without the encouragement of his friends, Jiang Kan's face was already red at this time, but he still suppressed his fear of facing strangers alone. While his feet were shaking slightly, he tried his best to greet everyone in a soothing tone. .
"Hey, look, he's an uncle!"
"Yeah, judging by your age, you should be at least thirty-five, right?"
"Isn't that right? You can see many young Internet celebrity girls taking photos here every day, and today a man appears!"
"Middle-aged uncle? Singing? Why do I feel like these two are so incompatible?"
…
There were all kinds of sounds, and without the isolation of the system, they all naturally reached Jiang Kan's ears one by one.
But he didn't say anything more. Instead, he opened the smart speaker APP and started playing music.
First, sing a popular song from this world to warm up the audience.
Before the two previous singing performances, I had not practiced seriously.
But this time, he had carefully prepared for several days, and the effect would naturally be greatly improved. He was full of confidence in himself.
When the prelude ended and the vocals began, the noisy crowd around them fell silent for a moment.
It's like someone pressed the mute button on the TV.
There is no other reason.
But when Jiang Kan's voice came out of the speakers, their heavenly voice deeply shocked them.
The treble is loud, the midrange is transparent, and the bass is deep.
It was as if the original singer of this song had appeared on the scene. The huge square was almost silent for an instant. People passing by stopped to watch. Mobile phones raised above their heads sprung up, aiming at the voice. source.
Jiang Kan didn't care about this, but held the microphone in both hands and sang softly.
Very dedicated, very immersed, very attentive.
Even the stylishly dressed and proud Internet celebrities nearby stopped filming and rushed over with the team, wanting to see who they were who could sing such a moving voice.
Time stopped at this moment.
The hustle and bustle seemed to be temporarily far away from the crowd.
Except for the "purrul" sounds made by the occasional flying pigeons, the only thing left at the scene was Jiang Kan's singing.
Many people gradually closed their eyes and listened to his singing quietly.
Unconscious smiles appeared on their faces.
In less than four minutes, people felt like they were in an empty concert hall, and their ears were filled with gorgeous tones that sounded like angels singing.
By the time Jiang Kan had finished singing the last line and the ending of the song had been played, everyone was still intoxicated by the heavenly sound just now.
After a long time, loud applause suddenly sounded.
Then the applause of the second person, the third person... the hundredth person... burst out one after another.
"Awesome!"
"Singing so well!"
"Is this really the sound that an uncle can make?"
"I almost cried!"
"One more song!"
"One more song!"
"One more song!"
…
In a small square in Taikoo Li, the crowd of onlookers violently erupted!
