On the booth in the corner, Lin Xiao poured Wei Jiaqi a glass of orange juice, and then asked softly, "Senior class leader, what are you...... Chasing dreams?"

Lin Xiao remembered that when Wei Jiaqi was in school before, he was the deputy minister of the music club for a period of time, and he also ran his own band, and he was very talented in music.

After graduating from university, Wei Jiaqi did not participate in work, but has been actively participating in various music activities.

Before many popular artists became famous, they all served as resident singers in bars.

"Hehe......" Wei Jiaqi smiled bitterly, then took a sip of the orange juice in front of him, shook his head and said, "What kind of dream are you chasing, even survival is a problem now...... I'm here as a resident singer just to make ends meet with a salary of 200 yuan a day. ”

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment.

"You're kidding me, Uncle Wei...... He doesn't care about you anymore?" Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "Did you have a conflict with your family and run out by yourself?"

When Wei Jiaqi was in college, she had a good relationship with Lin Xiao.

At that time, Lin Xiao was a student enrolled in a welfare institute, so he had to go outside to work outside to earn pocket money after studying, and after Wei Jiaqi saw this situation, he also used his identity as a class leader to help Lin Xiao apply for a subsidy for poor students for four consecutive years.

Don't say anything without Wei Jiaqi's help, Lin Xiao can still apply for poverty subsidies and the like.

There are many children from poor families on college campuses, but most of the financial aid still falls on those rich second generations who have a few apartments and cars at home.

So Lin Xiao has always been grateful to Wei Jiaqi.

And now seeing Wei Jiaqi's appearance, Lin Xiao is also very uncomfortable.

In Lin Xiao's memory, Wei Jiaqi should be the kind of girl with long hair and a shawl, a bright smile, walking in the warm sun with long legs in canvas shoes, and being carefree all her life.

But now, just for a salary of 200 yuan a day, she lets herself stay in this mixed bar......

"Something happened to my dad...... One of the projects he contracted was cheated of, and all the money of our family was wasted," Wei Jiaqi's eyes were red, and her voice was low: "Later, the people who forced the debt came to my house every day to block it, and my father couldn't stand it and had a dispute with someone, accidentally injured a person, and was sentenced to 25 years." ”

When Lin Xiao heard this, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he chose to be silent.

"Where's Auntie?"

"Dead. Wei Jiaqi wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers and said, "The year after my father was arrested, she committed suicide by jumping into the river." ”

Lin Xiao listened to Wei Jiaqi's words, and felt as if something was plugged in his throat, which was very uncomfortable.

"I've made a little bit of a fortune lately...... If you need it, I'll ......" Lin Xiao opened his mouth, and subconsciously took out the money envelope that was not originally given to the private detective from his arms.

"Lin Xiao, I'm not a beggar. Wei Jiaqi raised her head, although her face was bitter, her eyes were still firm: "You don't have to pity me." ”

Lin Xiao's heart trembled.

He reacted suddenly.

Although his action of taking out the money just now was intended to help Wei Jiaqi, in fact, he had hurt Wei Jiaqi's self-esteem.

What a proud person Wei Jiaqi used to be?

No matter how big the changes happened, they didn't break her.

And Lin Xiao's subconscious kindness, in Wei Jiaqi's view, is the pity of the superior to the inferior.

This is almost more unbearable for Wei Jiaqi, who was once extremely proud, than directly embarrassing her.

Lin Xiao remembered that he had seen a sentence somewhere.

The greatest tenderness for a person with a miserable fate is not sympathy, but unbridled pity.

A person who lives in the sympathy and pity of others will lose his own self-confidence and dignity.

"I'm sorry. Lin Xiao said in a deep voice.

"Don't talk about me, let's talk about you!" Wei Jiaqi also seemed to realize that the atmosphere was a little heavy, so she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, squeezed out a smile, and asked in a voice as hearty as possible: "What are you doing now?"

"Glorious security captain. Lin Xiao smiled, and also cooperated with Wei Jiaqi to laugh.

"I remember that you went to join the army after graduating from college, and now that you have returned from the army, you can be regarded as defending your family and the country in another position!" Wei Jiaqi said with a smile, then picked up the cup and shook it at Lin Xiao and said, "Come, touch a cup!"

Lin Xiao smiled and raised his wine glass and bumped it into her.

"What are you doing now, you should be getting married now, right?" Wei Jiaqi put down the cup, and then asked with a smile.

"Broke up. Lin Xiao smiled indifferently, and then said very freely: "Actually, I should have thought a long time ago, I am a homeless person, who will live a hard life with me?"

"I'm like you now. Wei Jiaqi picked up the cup in front of him again, raised it in front of Lin Xiao and said, "Cheers to the two of us who have no home!"

"Cheers!"

Jingling!

Wine glasses collide.

Lin Xiao drank the wine in one gulp.

Just after Wei Jiaqi put down the cup, a man in a white shirt walked over from the dance floor next to him, and when he saw Wei Jiaqi drinking with Lin Xiao, he frowned and said, "Wei Jiaqi, there are guests ordering songs, you can go on stage!"

"Manager Li, I'll go right away. Wei Jiaqi nodded, and then said apologetically to Lin Xiao: "You wait for me, I'll come back after singing a song on stage, and I'll settle tonight's account." ”

Lin Xiao just smiled and didn't speak.

Soon, Wei Jiaqi changed her clothes, walked to the high platform of the bar and began to sing the song "As Long as Ordinary" ordered by the guests.

Although Wei Jiaqi sang in the bar, she did not have any explicit performances, but simply sang a cappella.

But her singing voice is very melodious and beautiful.

"Maybe one day it will go far"

"Maybe we'll see you again"

"No matter in the crowd on the horizon"

"Let me see your face again"

I have to say that Wei Jiaqi's singing foundation is still very good, a simple song, which makes her sing very charming.

Lin Xiao listened silently, and even his mood was extremely quiet.

"Thank you to the little boss of the seventeenth booth for the five garlands!"

At this moment, the DJ at the bar suddenly turned on the microphone and shouted: "The little boss is arrogant!"

Lin Xiao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment after hearing this.

A place like a bar is actually very similar to some live streaming platforms, and this garland is equivalent to a gift.

People who come to the bar to consume, because of the stimulation of alcohol, will inevitably give their favorite singers some gifts to show their financial resources.

The value of each garland is 2,000 yuan, and in the end, it will be distributed to Wei Jiaqi, and it can also be one-third of the income.

In the blink of an eye, the scrolling big screen above the bar burst out with numbers again!

"The little boss of the No. 17 booth once again sent ten garlands to Miss Wei Jiaqi!

"Roar!"

A scream erupted from inside the bar!

As soon as it was shot, it was 30,000 yuan, and it was just a gift that was simply given, this is obviously a local tyrant!

"Thank you, boss!" Wei Jiaqi was also stunned for a moment, and then bent down deeply to thank him.

"The boss is awesome!"

"What a tyrant!"

The lights in the bar instantly gathered to booth seventeen, and a young man with dyed yellow hair squinted his eyes, with a proud smile on the corner of his mouth, even if he was noticed by everyone, he still waved his hand very calmly.

Lin Xiao smiled.

"Beauty, don't keep singing! I gave you so many gifts, can you give my brother some energy?" At this moment, a voice with a microphone came from the seventeenth booth, and the young man who had swiped the gift before said with a wanton smile on his face: "You wear too many clothes, my brother can't enjoy it, you dance a striptease, I'll send you ten more garlands!"

Wei Jiaqi originally showed a happy face, but after hearing this, she was stunned for a moment, then gritted her teeth and squeezed out a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I can't dance, I can only sing." ”

"Then strip naked and sing!" the young man shouted again, laughter full of banter.

At this time, the bar was already boiling, and they all shouted.

"Take off, take off, take off!"

"Undress!"

And Wei Jiaqi frowned even more tightly after seeing this scene.

Although she is a resident singer in a bar like this, she has never done such an over-the-top performance.

She has self-esteem and her own pride.

Otherwise, with her appearance, even if the family goes bankrupt, she can still find a rich boy to marry, and she will never fall to the point of singing in a bar.

"I'm sorry, I don't really do that kind of show, if you want to see it, you can find someone else. Wei Jiaqi's face was displeased, and he said in a deep voice.

"What's the matter? You are a resident singer, and you don't even give face to the gold owner's father!"

"That's it, what are you pretending to be! It's all reduced to a bar and singing, and you're pretending to be innocent!"

"It's better to take it off quickly, the gold master's father should be angry in a while!"

The people below who were heaxing saw that it was not a big deal, and they laughed one after another.

Wei Jiaqi's angry chest rose and fell violently, and tears were about to come out.

"I'll go to the bathroom first. Wei Jiaqi ran off the stage in embarrassment.

"Damn, they are all out to sell their bodies, pretending to be a pure jade girl with me, in the end, the money is not ruthless enough!" The young man in the No. 17 booth pouted disdainfully, and then waved at the bar manager standing next to him and said, "You go and tell her that if she is willing to take off her clothes, I will send ten more garlands, and if you don't take it off, my money will definitely not let you take it for nothing!"
