After dinner, Xiang Nan took everyone to the Forbidden City.
Coming to Beijing without visiting the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, and the Summer Palace is like eating dumplings without dipping them in vinegar. It always feels like something is missing.
"Mom, look, this is the Hall of Supreme Harmony." Xiang Nan introduced with a smile.
While Li Wenqin and Li Wenda had enough time to take a look into the main hall, Cao Hanzhi pulled his son aside.
"Xiaoqiang, dad wants to ask you, do you want me to find you a stepmother, or do you want your mother and I to remarry?" he asked quietly.
"Then of course I hope you and my mother will remarry." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Okay, he is indeed my son." Cao Hanzhi said with satisfaction, "I also want to remarry your mother, but there is an obstacle in the way."
"Obstruction?!" Xiang Nan blinked, "You mean Li Wenda?"
"No, it's you!!" Cao Hanzhi waved his hand and pointed at Xiang Nan.
"I'm not bothering you. I don't object to your remarriage. It's not too late for me to be happy." Xiang Nan was stunned and quickly clarified.
"Your mother said that if you don't solve your personal problem first, she won't consider her personal problem, which is my personal problem." Cao Hanzhi explained, "So you have to hurry up and get married. Your father's wife Half of my life's happiness depends entirely on you."
Xiang Nan nodded awkwardly, "Dad, don't worry, I will seize the time to find a partner."
…
In the evening, Cao Hanzhi, Li Wenqin, and Li Wenda came to the bar where Xiang Nan performed to watch his performance.
"Dear bar friends, our Black Knight Bar has specially invited the famous singer Cao Xiaoqiang to perform for us tonight. Please applaud and welcome Mr. Cao to his appearance~" the bar manager shouted with a microphone in his hand.
The patrons in the bar cheered like boos.
Xiang Nan is not well-known now, and I dare not say that he can compare with great stars like Han Hong, Sun Nan, and Liu Huan, but he is still considered to be a number one in the music industry.
Especially "Someone Like Me" has become popular recently, so guests are willing to support it.
Amidst the applause, Xiang Nan walked out from the backstage briskly, then took the microphone and said with a smile, "Thank you all for supporting me. It's really an honor. I wish you all a happy night..."
Each bar performance is about half an hour, including ten minutes of greetings, four minutes of performance, and fifteen minutes of interaction.
After all, it is absolutely not allowed to pay 50,000 yuan for an appearance and only sing one song.
Xiang Nan inherited Ji Xiaolan's eloquence. He was eloquent and had a bright tongue. He told jokes and sent blessings, which made the guests giggle and quickly heated up the atmosphere of the entire place.
"When did Xiaoqiang become so eloquent?" Li Wenqin asked in surprise.
Although the son is not dull, he cannot be said to be eloquent. Especially in front of people, it is inevitable to be a little shy.
But now, in front of hundreds of customers in the bar, she could still talk and make everyone laugh, which really shocked her.
"Our son is in the sales business. After working for so many years, he has certainly developed a good tongue." Cao Hanzhi said with a smile, "Okay, at first I was worried that a place like a bar would be mixed up, and Xiaoqiang would suffer a loss when performing here. Now after watching his When I perform, I feel completely at ease.”
He and Li Wenqin were afraid when they heard that Xiang Nan was performing in bars and nightclubs. I'm worried that my son will suffer a loss if he performs there because of the mix of good and bad people, the mixed religions, and the filth.
Now it seems that I was worrying too much. Yanjing is the land of the Emperor, the most benevolent district, and everyone still abides by the rules. Moreover, my son is no stranger at first glance. He is very comfortable in this situation and does not have to worry about being bullied at all.
"Yeah." Li Wenqin also nodded.
She was scared at first, but now she is not scared anymore.
…
After the atmosphere was almost built, Xiang Nan was handed over the guitar and began to sing.
"This song is my thirty-fifth birthday gift to myself. I dedicate it to everyone. I hope you like it~" he said while playing the guitar.
"A good person like me
I should have lived a brilliant life
How come more than twenty years have ended?
Still floating in the sea of people
…”
After singing the song, there was warm applause in the bar.
"Thank you all for your encouragement, it makes my heart warm~" Xiang Nan said gratefully, "Thank you all, and I wish all the good people good luck and success for the rest of their lives~"
After the performance, the interaction started immediately. Usually it means taking a photo with the guest, toasting him with a drink, signing an autograph, etc.
This link tests the emotional intelligence of the artist.
Because if there are a hundred people, there are all kinds of things; if there are a thousand people, there are no boundaries.
The bar is a mixed crowd, with customers from all walks of life.
There are those who like stars, pursue stars, and worship stars; there are also those who hate stars, are jealous of stars, and despise stars.
So you have to be careful when interacting. Don't look for trouble, don't invite trouble, and don't be afraid of trouble.
Fortunately, Xiang Nan has both high EQ and IQ, so he can handle this kind of situation with ease.
In a short time, the tips were already several thousand dollars.
…
Seeing so many female guests taking the initiative to take photos, hug and ask for kisses with Xiang Nan, Li Wenqin and Cao Hanzhi couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"It seems that Xiaoqiang is really popular with girls." Li Wenqin said with a smile.
"Well, I didn't even count them, but there were more than ten people who took photos and signed autographs." Cao Hanzhi nodded, "And they are all so enthusiastic and took the initiative to hug our son."
"Enthusiasm is enthusiasm, but it seems a bit frivolous." Li Wenqin shook her head and said, "I still hope that Xiaoqiang can find a peaceful, traditional, and virtuous girl to be his wife."
"I think it's good to be proactive." Cao Hanzhi said with a smile.
"Yes, you like to take the initiative." When Li Wenqin heard this, there was something in his words.
"Don't get me wrong, I said Xiaoqiang." Cao Hanzhi quickly clarified.
Li Wenda couldn't help but shine with envy when he saw Xiang Nan taking photos and hugging so many girls.
In fact, he also hoped that he could be so beautiful, admired by thousands of people, applauded with flowers, surrounded by beautiful women, hugging him from left to right, what a happy thing it would be.
"Ask Xiaoqiang later if I can perform with him." Li Wenda thought in his mind.
…
After the interaction, Xiang Nan immediately rushed to another venue.
Now that his fame has grown, he has received many more invitations to perform.
I went to up to six venues in one night, and the performance fee was 30,000 to 50,000. I could make hundreds of thousands in one night, which can be said to be quite profitable.
Li Wenqin and Cao Hanzhi were originally worried that Xiang Nan would be kicked out by the bank if he failed to pay the mortgage. But seeing Xiang Nan's income in one night, they both felt relieved.
"Xiaoqiang can really make a fortune if he makes money this way." Li Wenqin and Cao Hanzhi said, "It's a pity that none of the girls in the bar are reliable.
In my opinion, he should find a woman with a clean family background, a well-educated, cultured, and knowledgeable woman. "
"Well, that makes sense." Cao Hanzhi nodded, "Then I will contact my old comrades right away to see if there are any suitable girls in the capital."
