It's night, the lights are on, and the traffic is like a sea.
After Jiang Kan managed to survive more than an hour of traffic, he arrived at Liu Zhiheng's bar in Jiuyan Bridge.
This bar has been officially named "Tavern", which has a bit of a petty bourgeois flavor.
I didn't expect Liu Zhiheng, the big boss, to be so interested.
"Ha, Jiang Kan, you're here. Everyone heard that you were coming tonight, so they came early to take a seat. You are now the golden sign of our pub!"
As soon as Jiang Kan walked to the door of the tavern, he saw Liu Zhiheng waiting for him there early.
"Hey, it's not just your wine and the environment that attract so many customers~"
The two walked in side by side. As soon as they entered the gate, someone recognized Jiang Kan and exclaimed excitedly!
"Brother Kan is here, Brother Kan is here!"
Then he was surrounded by the crowd and watched, and finally managed to squeeze into their old seat closer to the inside.
"Let you Brother Kan rest for a while first. You're exhausted from being stuck in traffic all the way!"
Boss Liu was already familiar with his customers, and he "drove" them away as a joke, while he asked the waiter to bring two bottles of beer and put them on the table.
"Huh? Why is there a band up there tonight?"
Jiang Kan had a drink with him and took a big sip of beer before feeling a little more comfortable.
Looking up, I saw several band members on the stage busy arranging their equipment and preparing to sing.
"Oh, it's like this. I received a call in the afternoon from Boss Zhou Dongzhou, saying that he recommended a band to me. You don't come here every day, so you can help us warm up the scene when you're not around. Yes."
Liu Zhiheng did not hide it and told Jiang Kan truthfully.
Originally, Jiang Kan didn't come here every day, and the stage couldn't always be empty when he didn't come.
What's more, now that he has a formal job and will be busier in the future, he will definitely have less time to come here. Liu Zhiheng has to think more about his business.
"Recommended by Zhou Dong?"
Jiang Kan immediately recalled the fat businessman, and even went to his recording studio to record songs.
Although the recorded song was not released online because the company wanted to use it as a chart song next month.
But I still admire the other party's generosity and love for music.
Since he introduced these people on the stage, could it be...
He walked towards the stage and observed it for a while with the help of the dim light.
This artistic guitarist with a vicissitudes of life, long dreadlocks, and five shining gold rings on his left hand, who is not Master Zhang?
Jiang Kan was so impressed by him!
And the young Bess next to him wearing a black vest and having short hedgehog-like hair, isn't he his apprentice Xiao Wang?
Others, such as drummers and keyboard players, are also the same recording engineers in Zhou Dong's recording studio!
What, have they changed careers?
"Master Zhang!"
He shouted to Master Zhang, who was lowering his head to adjust the pitch changer. The other person raised his head in confusion and couldn't imagine that there was someone in this strange place who knew him?
"Oh, what a coincidence, Teacher Jiang!"
He was stunned for about two or three seconds, then realized what was happening. He stood up hurriedly, stretched out his hands to hold Jiang Kan's hand, and shouted in surprise.
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you here?"
The two asked in unison, then they were both slightly stunned, and then burst into laughter.
"I'm here to sing. Boss Liu is my classmate in college. I'm here to support him and earn some gas money at the same time."
Jiang Kan turned around and tapped Liu Zhiheng with his chin, and the other party smiled slightly in agreement.
"Oh, so that's it? What a coincidence, isn't it? Our brothers are also here to have a party and earn some extra money to support the family."
"Boss Zhou's recording studio usually doesn't do much business. When he finally brought a guest over, his friends gave him a 30% off discount. Although our wages will still be paid, this is a bonus, hehe..."
He smiled awkwardly, and Jiang Kan could understand his difficulty. It was indeed difficult for him to be a subordinate with such a boss who was so hands-off.
"By the way, you said... you're catching up? Are there any other bars you want to go to tonight?"
"Yeah, we only sing five songs here, and we have to go to another bar around nine o'clock..."
"Okay, you guys sing on a first-come, first-served basis. I won't go to work until next Monday and it won't matter if I come home late these days."
Jiang Kan politely refused the other party's humility to let him sing first, and let the other party perform on stage first.
After all, they didn't come here to compete with me on purpose, and they would have to go to another store soon.
It's all for survival, he understands.
"Then let's sit for a while and listen to the effect of their performance. By the way, I haven't congratulated you on becoming an official singer. It's not easy. It's not easy. You only debuted at the age of forty. You have to compete with those energetic young people. Let's go fight..."
When Jiang Kan returned to his seat, he saw a bottle of Krug champagne and two crystal clear flutes already placed on the table.
"Come on, come on, let's have a drink. My old classmate wishes you a great success, become famous instantly, and carve out your own world in the music world!"
"Ding~"
The two glasses touched each other lightly, then they drank it up.
"Thank you, Zhiheng. I, Lao Jiang, will remember your kindness."
"Hey, let's talk about this. By the way, what's the plan next?"
…
The two chatted while drinking, but Jiang Kan didn't dare to drink too much because he would be on stage soon, just two or three small glasses.
"Ha, luckily I didn't drive here tonight, this wine is really good!"
Jiang Kan sighed.
When I was a supervisor in an IT company, I drank this wine once at the company's annual meeting. At that time, I felt that it refreshed my understanding of champagne.
I didn't expect to be able to drink again after so long after losing my job. What a wonderful encounter in life.
"Master Zhang, I didn't expect that my voice is so good, right?"
The two watched the performance on the stage. Jiang Kan touched his chin and nodded slightly to the rhythm of the music.
"Yes, when Boss Zhou recommended him, he said that this person can play and sing. He was in a band before he became a recording engineer. But after he got married and wanted to be more stable, he took a class."
"Hey, how many musicians have given up on their dreams because of life..."
He took another sip of champagne and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Who says it isn't? Do you still remember the band organized by a few classmates in our university? It was so exciting at the time, and they didn't go their own ways after graduation. At the beginning, they still vowed to join the band after graduation. Later, I insisted on being a band and relying on music to make a living..."
Holding the wine glass, Liu Zhiheng seemed to be reminded of some memories of the past, and shook his head helplessly.
Just at this time, a song was finished on the stage.
Thunderous applause, cheers, and boos erupted from the audience. Jiang Kan also clapped his hands, smiled and nodded in greeting to Master Zhang.
