Jiang Yansheng smiled and shook his head. "Aren't you a bartender? Can you make the decision on behalf of the boss to give away so many drinks? "
The man leaned forward slightly and nodded. "Of course. The pleasure of our customers is our first priority."
His eyes were sparkling.
"I wonder if I can have the honor of knowing Miss Jiang's number?"
Before Jiang Yansheng could let out a surprised sigh, someone suddenly patted him on the back. Then, a husky, pleasant female voice rang out. "Absolutely not."
"This is my friend."
The bartender was upset. "She's obviously a new face. Why do all of you say she's your friend?"
Jiang Yansheng did not need to turn around to know who it was. She was in a good mood.
In fact, part of the reason why she agreed to An Di's request this time was to try her luck and see if she could bump into him.
"Amei." Jiang Yansheng tilted her head and pretended to admire the bartender's quick and efficient movements. She looked at Amei's face through the glass. "Isn't it almost dinnertime now? I thought I wouldn't bump into you. "
"Not at all. Didn't I tell you last time that I only go to the Garden Restaurant to play the piano on weekdays?"
"I come back to Muse when I'm free on the weekends because the band already has a dedicated room and lounge here. So, it's like half a home. Sometimes, when I don't have a place to stay, I will come here to spend the night."
She turned around and saw Amei smiling at her.
Amei had put on some makeup, but it was not even one-fifth of An Di's makeup. Instead, it made her look even more beautiful. There was a small smile at the corner of her mouth. One look and you could tell that she was a very optimistic person. @(((
In a bar, people who were shy and quiet outside would naturally change their temperament. It seemed that people would only reveal their true colors in the dark.
Amei sat down next to her and slammed a few red notes in front of the bartender.
The bartender pushed the money back to her as if he was afraid of her. "I know she's your friend. I said I would buy her a drink. Now I'll buy you a drink. What do you think?"
Ah Mei's expression looked a lot more vivid under the light of the bar. She wrinkled her nose and waved her hand in disdain. "I don't need it. Didn't I tell you when you gave me a drink for the first time? That my heart is already stable, and that I have someone else in mind?"
"Che Che, hurry up and take the money. Is there something wrong with your singlehood? Now, you'll give alcohol to every woman you see. If this goes on, you'll only be able to eat the northwest wind with your monthly salary!"
The bartender's handsome face fell. He grumbled under his breath and accepted Amei's money unwillingly.
Amei patted Jiang Yansheng's shoulder gently as if they were good friends. "Previously, you were the one who bought me food at the restaurant. Now that we're in my territory, I'll buy you a drink."
She covered her mouth with one hand and raised her chin slightly. "You can't just drink alcohol that someone else pays for. If you give out your phone number when you accept, it means that both parties are interested in each other."
The faint smile on Amei's face seemed to be magical. Jiang Yansheng could not help but smile. "Is that so? I didn't know that before. I'll be more careful next time."
Fortunately, she did not fall into the bartender's trap.
Gu Yan's cold and handsome face flashed across her mind. She was stunned for a moment and shook her head to get rid of that man's face.
What was she thinking?
Amei raised her head and sighed. "I didn't expect you to come to Muse too. We've never met before. How unfortunate." She scratched her slightly disheveled hair and chuckled. "But you must look for me if you come to have fun in the future."
Jiang Yansheng nodded. She tried her best to look natural. She did not want Amei to know that she was actually a novice who came here for the second time.
Amei kicked the bar table lightly and caught the bartender's attention.
"Remember to turn on the live broadcast later. The captain asked me to come over and remind you not to forget about your business when you see a pretty girl."
"The signal is the best at your place and the pictures are the clearest."
The bartender snorted and kicked back from the inside. "Got it. You're a troublemaker."
"After the striptease, it'll be our band's performance. It'll last for about two hours. If you like it, you can tell me which song you want to listen to first. I'll give you priority to sing later." Amei turned and stuck her tongue out at Jiang Yansheng.
"But there's only time for one song because I'm not the captain. Most of the time, I have to sing our band's original songs."
Jiang Yansheng looked at her in surprise. "Your band has original songs?"
"Yes. The captain and the lead singer can write songs. The drummer can compose music. I'm the only one who doesn't know anything. I'm just fishing in troubled waters. Sometimes I play the guitar, and sometimes I'm the assistant lead singer. I'm like a little girl who does odd jobs." Amei counted with her fingers.
"But it's okay. I don't have anything else but I'm popular with the audience!" Amei's eyes narrowed as she smiled. She was proud of herself. "Every time the band finishes their performance, I receive the most flowers."
The bartender behind her interrupted, "Isn't it because you're a woman? You're comparing the flowers you receive to a man. Isn't Amei too pitiful? "
Ah Mei did not even turn her head as she pointed her middle finger behind her. "Shut up."
Jiang Yansheng's eyes darkened. She asked softly, "Do you remember what I told you last time?"
Amei blinked. "Are you talking about asking me to be your spokesperson?"
"Actually, I was quite tempted, but I was too nervous at that time. Besides, I haven't seen you that many times, so I didn't know if you were a liar or not. Besides, I actually …" Amei's hands were slightly twisted under the table. "To be honest, I still feel a little inferior."
"After all, I'm actually the least capable one in the band."
Amei's voice was very soft. She was gently explaining why she rejected her last time.
Jiang Yansheng placed a new cocktail in her hand next to Amei's hand. "Don't be nervous. Drink some water."
Her indifferent tone sounded like she was talking about how good the weather was today. "You've already rejected me once. Logically speaking, I shouldn't have come to you again. After all, this will make you sick of me …"
Amei hurriedly waved her hand and said quickly, "Why would I be sick of you? On the contrary, I felt very happy when I saw you today."
Jiang Yansheng stared into Amei's eyes. In her dark eyes, she was sure that she saw a little flickering desire besides the sparkling lights.
She helped Amei to struggle a little. "Since you're tempted, why don't you give it a try?"
Amei hesitated for a moment. She rubbed her hands on her knees back and forth. Then, she turned her head and looked at the chaotic crowd under the stage where the striptease was still going on. She seemed to be trying to find someone among them.
But after a long time, she still couldn't find anyone. She turned her head back reluctantly and wanted to say something.
After staring at Jiang Yansheng for a few minutes, Ah Mei was the first to admit defeat. Her dark eyes were filled with innocence and anticipation. "Then if I agree, if, I mean if, I become famous, then I will be able to help you. Will I have the chance to hold my own concert? "
Jiang Yansheng initially thought that Amei was looking around solemnly because she wanted her to make some kind of promise. In the end, the girl dawdled for a long time and said these naive and cute words.
She smiled. "Of course."
"The endorsement might not be able to get you to that extent, but if you want, I can help you hold a concert after our cooperation ends."
Amei seemed to have made up her mind. She gently touched Jiang Yansheng's hand. "Okay, I promise you. But I have to say that I don't really understand the previous contract. We'll perform at Muse for two hours, and it'll be 300 dollars for each person."
"The endorsement shoot should be around this time. Just give me this price."
The smile on Jiang Yansheng's lips froze. She gently tapped Amei's forehead. "That won't do. It's too little."
Jiang Yansheng thought that Amei would be more shrewd in the bar compared to her shy self outside, but he did not expect her to be so stubborn. Even if Amei could offer 300 dollars, she would not be able to take it out.
Amei's eyes widened in shock. "No, it's already enough."
She lowered her eyes. "Actually, it's already enough."
She only had one wish. She was already very happy that it could suddenly be fulfilled.
Jiang Yansheng smiled and said, "Even if I offered you ten times more, it wouldn't be enough."
"Amei, someone's looking for you."
They were whispering to each other when the bartender behind them suddenly poked Amei's shoulder with a gentlemanly finger and pointed at the person on the opposite side of the bar. Then, he took out the tripod holder from the cabinet beside his feet and fixed his phone in place, ready to start the live broadcast.
Amei scratched her head. "It's time. I'll go over first."
Before she left, she patted the bartender's head angrily and told Jiang Yansheng, "Don't drink anyone's drink. Only the one I ordered for you is the safest."
Jiang Yansheng smiled and waved his hand. His gaze followed Ah Mei's dancing figure to the stage. With a whoosh, the lights were switched on. The strippers who had made people's blood boil had all left the stage. Even the ambiguous factor in the air had dissipated quite a bit.
There were not as many customers gathered around the stage as before. An Di had returned with a satisfied look. He pulled out the seat next to Jiang Yansheng and sat down with his long legs.
Halfway through his seat, he frowned. "Someone was here just now?"
Jiang Yansheng shrugged. "A friend."
Just as An Di was about to ask something, a slightly violent heavy metal guitar sound rang out. In the blink of an eye, there were four people standing on the stage.
It was the complete opposite of the diablo style from before. The phone on the platform behind him kept making bubble sounds. Jiang Yansheng curiously stuck his head out to take a look. He saw that the livestream room that had just been opened had only shown the face of the main character, but the popularity had already started to skyrocket. People kept sending their love.
The bartender handed a stick to Jiang Yansheng.
Jiang Yansheng looked up at him in confusion.
The bartender gently pushed his finger, and the light stick in Jiang Yansheng's hand lit up.
