There are only two days left before the official start of the Obsidian Festival, and Siesta has also ushered in its most lively moment of the year.
The Langham Hotel has no vacancies, but its promotion is still overwhelming. Only a few large LED billboards in the parking area have been removed to make way for the singers who are about to shine at the Obsidian Festival.
Countless cases have shown that it is easier for people to remember the slogan simply and crudely than to write an ingenious story.
All tourists who come to Siesta are regarded as potential customers by Langting, and in order for these people to really put their money in their pockets, advertising must be continuously placed.
Fortunately, Langting Group has strong financial resources and can afford high advertising fees. In fact, there is no need to calculate the profit of the hotel, just the money earned by the XAX bar is enough.
XAX is Lingyun’s “twin sister”, a bar that truly fits Valentine’s imagination.
A place that is packed every night, a paradise for young people to express their youthful vitality.
There was a sharp contrast with the lonely Lingyun.
After all, there are only a few people who really like the quietness of literature and art. Most people still prefer liveliness and social interaction.
However, Langting did not close Lingyun due to losses and kept it open.
The best bartenders were also transferred here.
And this is to give Lang Tingbo a good reputation.
After all, it is much harder to please the artistic young and middle-aged people than to please ordinary people. But once it succeeds, Langting will not leave a bad impression on any consumer group.
People who are annoyed by ads don’t count.
A good reputation means more customers, which means more consumption. Maybe Lingyun will continue to decline, but as long as it exists for one day, the Buff provided to Langting will exist for one day.
Maybe some of the guests sitting at XAX bar tonight came because of Lingyun.
For example...
A tall film girl sitting in booth 211.
--------hey-hey--------
Deafening music, brilliant and chaotic lights, people shaking their heads and ridiculously expensive whiskey...
Jina picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the golden wine.
The spicy and bitter taste made her frown slightly.
Sure enough, this wine is just packaged in a prettier way, but actually tastes the same as a hundred bottles of ordinary whiskey out there.
But at XAX, this mediocre whiskey costs 800 bottles.
The capacity is still small.
...Maybe I can't taste the wonder contained in it, because I'm not a professional after all.
Glancing at the half-full bottle of whiskey again, Jina lowered her eyes and quickly focused her attention elsewhere.
The psychological suggestion just now did not dilute the disappointment caused by the taste stimulation, but instead made her interest in this bar drop to the freezing point.
It can be said now that except for the decoration, there is nothing about XAX that makes Gina feel comfortable.
She prefers bars where she can order a glass of wine and calm down to read a book amid melodious music.
Such as Lingyun.
But……
Valentine, her target was in that bar.
Jina had no chance to go to Lingyun.
In fact, if there were as many people as XAX in Lingyun Bar, it wouldn't matter if she went in.
The heavy flow of people will block Valentin's line of sight and prevent her from being noticed.
But there are no more than ten guests in Lingyun Bar...
Then the possibility of her getting discovered would be greatly increased.
The first key to being a spy is "stability".
Absolutely no behavior is allowed that increases instability.
Therefore, Jina had no choice but to give up this idea and extinguish the literary and artistic spirit that had suddenly appeared in her heart for more than twenty years.
As for why you came to XAX...
After drinking all the wine in the glass, Jina glanced at the silly girl next to her who was chatting happily with a handsome guy, and quickly looked away.
After an afternoon of hard work, the swimming coach finally couldn't resist Nancy's attack and agreed to her request to come to the nightclub to play in the evening.
But Nancy's hobby besides sleeping with handsome guys is spending money, and she simply can't afford to spend XAX.
then……
She paid attention to her good sister Jina.
Brainless Cat got a transfer from Unhappy Cat through a shirt signed by Justin, and now has the money to go to the nightclub to be cool. In order to get a better booth, Nancy actually met a few "good sisters" to fight for the order together.
I really don't know how she did it...
Anyway, in the end, Nancy’s payment wasn’t much.
In fact, this was the best outcome she had envisioned, because she would definitely have to invite her friends to play in a nightclub, and it would be impossible to get high with just two people, and the atmosphere would not be enough.
Inviting a few more people to share the order is not only more lively, but also costs less, the best of both worlds.
These are mutual needs. Anyway, the "good sisters" only have one night of friendship. Regardless of whether they achieve their goal by winning over their male companions tonight, they probably won't even say hello when they meet again in the future.
It's just a pain for Jina to become the only "other" among this group of young people.
Fortunately, no one with short eyes messed with her, leaving Jina alone and beautiful. However, Nancy would occasionally bring her over to interact with her so as not to neglect her good sister.
You still have to integrate into social life to some extent, otherwise if you don't feel comfortable, others will feel uncomfortable too.
Fortunately, Jina has received systematic training on human relations and is very resistant to this kind of thing. Will she accept the invitation or do it for the sake of these people?
Putting aside the immoral things she did as a spy, Jina asked herself and felt that she was a good person.
What turned her into a bad person was an irresistible fate.
People who do espionage work almost always practice the credo of carpe diem. They lack love more than ordinary people, so they crave spiritual satisfaction even more.
The love of these people may be no different from that of ordinary people, but the feelings they invest are more profound and intense, in order to taste as much happiness as possible in a life that they don't know when it will end.
One of Gina’s colleagues had a toothed beast. He loved it so much that he spent half of his salary on it.
As a result, one day the tooth beast was hit and killed by a car, so he ran out of the base like crazy, found the culprit within three hours, and killed the unlucky driver with the same car that hit his tooth beast. .
Later this man also died, committing suicide.
Crazy and sad at the same time.
Probably since she learned the news of that person's death, Jina became serious and began to like observing the people around her, ordinary people.
Ordinary people will not go crazy just because they lose something external to them, at least most of them will not.
Jina wants to find the differences between them and herself, and find a way to become normal without changing her life.
Are you afraid of death?
probably.
Jina didn't know the specific reason, but she just wanted to do it, so she did it.
But many times, Jina can only see in those ordinary people a destiny that is completely different from her own but very similar.
What trapped him was his identity as a spy.
What trapped them was life, something thousands of times more terrifying than Rhine life.
…
In the end, this thought turned into a mess in Jina's mind, and there was no way to deal with it except forgetting.
If only I were smarter.
She often thought so.
Or dumber.
Just like Nancy did…
Jina slumped on the sofa, supporting her head with her left hand, looking at the people taking off their disguises in the bar with dull eyes.
She once saw a sentence in a book:
[Nightclubs can amplify everyone's social behavior ten thousand times, whether it is virtue or vice. Except for the hotel bed, there is no place more suitable for analyzing the human heart than a nightclub. ]
This is also an important reason why she is willing to accompany Nancy to XAX.
Here, Jina can see more things, see...
I don’t know where I’m going.
"This lady."
A waiter stood next to Jina, leaning slightly.
"What?"
Jina came back to her senses and looked up at her.
The waiter did not answer immediately, but raised his hands to cover his face and whispered something.
"……plz follow me."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"I'll be back in a minute."
Jina blinked, not knowing what she was thinking. She turned to Nancy and said something, and without waiting for a response, she stood up and followed the waiter.
They walked very fast, and within two minutes the waiter arrived somewhere backstage at XAX.
"please."
The waiter opened the door for Jina and bowed his head slightly, showing great respect.
Jina was not polite and directly opened the door and entered.
The first thing that catches the eye is the very special wall in the room. You can tell at a glance that it has a strong sound insulation effect. But soon, her eyes were caught by someone.
The man had flamboyant blond hair, avant-garde and trendy casual clothes, and a handsome face that shone brightly.
Even if she turns into Gray Gina, she will recognize him.
"Justin?"
