"Perhaps he's waiting for you to arrive."
"Perhaps he's waiting for you to arrive."
"Perhaps he's waiting for you to arrive..."
The repetitive ending gradually disappeared along with the sound of the guitar. The song "Cinderella" was played and sung.
The nearly full bar was silent for a moment. Then, applause rang out from every seat. Although it wasn't enough to flip the roof over, it was lasting and enthusiastic!
Performing this lyrical song once again, Lu Chen's fingering and singing skills were already impeccable. The real improvement was in the feelings integrated into the song. It was more real and deeper, resonating with everyone.
He was fully deserving of the praise and applause!
"What do you guys think?"
There were six people sitting in the reserved VIP area of the Forget Grass Bar. ChenJianhao was one of them.
He smiled and asked, "Boss Chang, does my little buddy still enter your discerning eyes?"
Although his tone was very humble, no matter how one listened to it, it sounded like he was showing off.
Of course, ChenJianhao wasn't a shallow person. The person he was joking with was a middle-aged man in his forties.
Chang Wei, the owner of Blue Lotus Bar.
Chang Wei looked very thin, but it wasn't the kind of thin that could be blown away by a gust of wind. Instead, he was very capable.
He had a buzz cut, and his eyes were bright and full of expression. His dressing was very tasteful. Aside from a small red sandalwood bracelet hanging on his left wrist, he didn't have any other jewelry.
In the circle of Houhai, Chang Wei was undoubtedly at the top. His network was deep, and he had connections from all walks of life. In the past ten years, he had managed Blue Lotus Bar so well that it became number one in the industry.
What people admired the most was Chang Wei's foresight. Back then, when the land in Houhai was already very valuable, he didn't hesitate to spend a large sum of money to buy the land where the bar was located. Now, the land price had increased by at least ten times!
In the past ten years, Blue Lotus Bar had produced many famous singers. Some of them had already become big shots in the industry.
Chang Wei's support could be said to be indispensable, but he never talked about these things.
Chang Wei and ChenJianhao had known each other for ten years, and the relationship between them was enough for them to make some harmless jokes. However, towards the latter's joke, he still nodded seriously and said, "That's right."
ChenJianhao knew that for Chang Wei, the word "not bad" was already a very high evaluation. There was a time when a famous singer went to Blue Lotus Flower to sing and won a lot of applause, but Chang Wei's evaluation was only "not bad".
Even with his shrewdness, he couldn't help but be overjoyed — this time, he was truly happy.
"It's really not bad!"
A middle-aged woman sitting on the left side of Chang Wei agreed. "Both songs are very unique. They are typical nostalgic folk songs. It's been a long time since I've heard such songs. It's really nostalgic."
This woman was also about forty years old. She had a round and plump face, and her skin was fair and well maintained. However, the crow's feet at the corner of her eyes betrayed her true age. Her charm and temperament were both extraordinary.
"Brother Chang and Sister Chen both said it's not bad, so it definitely can't be wrong!"
Another man with squinting eyes said with a smile, "Director Su, since you're so familiar with Boss Jianhao, hurry up and sign this little buddy of his. Let him be heartbroken!"
The target of his teasing was Su Qingmei.
However, he didn't know that Su Qingmei had already been humiliated by Lu Chen two days ago. Saying this to her now was simply touching a sore spot. It was close to slapping her in the face!
Su Qingmei snorted and said, "Brother Kenhao, this buddy is very arrogant. We can't afford to hire him."
This lecherous man was Chang Wei's friend, and he was also a person in the circle. If he didn't know the inside story and made a joke, then he really shouldn't mix around in this industry anymore.
Therefore, Su Qingmei could only endure. However, her resentment was very deep.
Who here wasn't a smart person? Once they heard Su Qingmei's resentment, they immediately understood.
The man with squinting eyes immediately realized that he had just said the wrong thing. He hurriedly added a sentence in surprise, "No way? He doesn't even like your Light Rain Media? "
Although he had the intention of pleasing the other party to make up for his mistake, he was also really surprised.
Although Light Rain Media was a rising star in the industry and had just been established in Beijing for a short time, whether it was their background or strength, they could be said to be strong. They had recruited a group of outstanding talents to join them and were preparing to show their strength.
This kind of new company could be said to have a boundless future. Recently, Light Rain Media and Blue Lotus Bar jointly held a music night. Who knew how many people wanted to squeeze their heads and show their faces.
Everyone else was scrambling like ducks, but Lu Chen actually rejected Su Qingmei's invitation. It was really unimaginable!
Big Chang Wei's evaluation of Lu Chen in his heart immediately dropped — his singing was not bad, he was also handsome, but his brain wasn't good!
ChenJianhao was a bit embarrassed. He coughed twice and said, "Xiao Lu's personality is a bit undisciplined. He doesn't want to be bound by the contract. He's still young, so his way of thinking is always different from us old guys."
Chang Wei glanced at Su Qingmei and calmly said, "It's fine as long as his singing is good. Then count him in."
No one objected, not even Su Qingmei. It was only a small matter.
"Brother Lu!"
On the other side, Lu Chen had just finished singing, but before he could enter the backstage, he was stopped by a waiter.
Lu Chen stared blankly, then immediately smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, what's the matter?"
There was no waiter in Forget Worries Bar that Lu Chen didn't know, because he was originally one of them. However, he wasn't too familiar with this waiter named Zhang. The two of them didn't have any friendship, they only knew each other through work.
In the past, his attitude towards Lu Chen wasn't this enthusiastic, and even had a bit of flattery.
"I don't dare to call you Brother …"
Waiter Zhang repeatedly shook his head and said, "Brother Lu, you are now a signed singer. Just call me Little Zhang."
A signed singer didn't need him to be so respectful. It was his former colleague, Little Gao. It was said that because he offended Lu Chen, he was fired by his boss and couldn't even survive in Houhai!
Lu Chen helplessly said, "Brother Zhang, if you have something to say, just say it. There's no need to be so polite."
Waiter Zhang embarrassedly smiled, then pointed to the back and said, "The guests at table 27 over there want to chat with you. They are all university girls, and two of them are very beautiful!"
He winked, with an expression that said it would be a pity if he missed it.
Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, I'll go over after I put down my guitar. Thanks."
He was very clear that the other party must have received a tip from someone else, which was why they were so attentive to him.
However, this wasn't a big deal. It was better to be kind to others than to be scolded behind his back. He had been a waiter for a long time, so he knew the hardships and tiredness of this job. It really wasn't easy to earn money.
Waiter Zhang was simply flattered, "Great, I'll go and tell the guests. Thank you Brother Lu!"
He eagerly ran away, and Lu Chen put down his guitar backstage and also came to table 27.
Waiter Zhang didn't fool him. There were five girls at table 27, and at a glance, it was obvious that they were university students who came from the nearby university town to play. Two of them could be considered beauties.
"Hello!"
Lu Chen smiled and greeted, "Welcome to Nepenthes Bar."
There were five seats for four, so he didn't squeeze in. He was ready to leave after a few words.
The five girls were all very shy. They looked at each other, and finally, one of them boldly stood up and said, "Hello, we saw your video on the forum, so we came to listen to your song. You sang really well …"
"Forum?"
Lu Chen was surprised, "What forum?"
"Beihai City Forum!"
The girl said with some excitement, "You're already famous there. The video that took you has already been posted on the Free World section with 100,000 views. Unfortunately, the content is only a small section, so we came here at night to watch the scene."
She and Lu Chen started a conversation, and the other girls also became bolder and chattered.
"I heard that someone came last night, but unfortunately, they didn't see you. They thought they were in the wrong place!"
"Our luck is not bad, we saw the real person."
"Hehe, it's the most comfortable to listen to it live. The sound quality of the video is too bad."
"Handsome, will you still go on stage to sing?"
So it was like this!
Lu Chen nodded his head. He didn't know that someone secretly took a video of him and posted it on the forum.
Does this guy not know the rules of Nepenthes Bar? He should be spanked on the butt!
Achoo!
At the same time, in Beijing Normal University's female dormitory 415.
Student Xiao Mi, who was sitting in front of her desk and flipping through her notes, suddenly couldn't help but sneeze loudly.
She rubbed her nose and rubbed her butt, which was numb from sitting for so long.
She felt a little baffled.
