Chapter 22: Jealousy
The seafood feast lasted more than an hour and ended at half past eight in the evening.
Huang Jianli, Jiang Fujun, Lao Li and others were not only curious about Tang Xin's magic skills, but also admired them so much.
At the same time, as antique dealers, they all know very well: Tang Xin's magical treasure appreciation skills are a potentially huge wealth. As long as you have a good relationship with him, once you encounter problems in antiques, calligraphy and painting, jewelry and jade, you can ask him to help solve them at any time.
In this sense, Tang Xin is also a "booster" for them to expand their wealth and fame in the future and develop and grow their family business. To put it bluntly, it is the "God of Wealth" that they can worship at any time in the future, and they are all in danger.
It is precisely because of this psychology that they are extremely respectful and polite to Tang Xin at the wine table, keep toasting his wine, keep praising him, and try their best to accept him.
After the banquet, Jiang Fujun was still unsatisfied, and proposed with a smile: "Everyone, it is a great honor to meet Mr. Tang today, and I think Mr. Huang and Mr. Li also have the same feeling as Mr. Li. That's it, it's still early, why don't we go to the 'Shengshi Tang Song' KTV Hi Song to further enhance our friendship with Mr. Yu Tang, okay?"
Chen Yunhan didn't wait for the rest of the people to respond, and took the lead in applauding and cheering: "I agree with Mr. Jiang's proposal, let's sing." ”
Huang Jianli, Lao Li and others couldn't ask for it, and they immediately echoed it.
Shi Xiaolin poked Chen Yunhan's arm with her hand, lowered her voice and teased: "You damn girl, when I called in the afternoon, I said that I would ask you to chat with me after dinner, but you refused at the time, saying that you had to go home to sort out the information collected during the audition and prepare for hosting the next episode of the "Baojian" program, why are you cheering and singing again now? Are you reluctant to part with Mr. Tang, so you don't do your job?"
Chen Yunhan glanced at Tang Xin with a shy smile, and argued forcefully: "I'm thinking about everyone! If I say I won't sing, Mr. Tang may not go, wouldn't it ruin everyone's interest?"
Shi Xiaolin smiled and didn't say anything more.
Tang Xin was already seven or eight minutes drunk at this time. He usually stays in Gu Xinzhai, in addition to doing business, he concentrates on studying, rarely goes to entertainment places to play, and he can sing less than ten songs, most of which are incomplete, for fear of embarrassment in the song hall, so he instinctively refused: "Mr. Jiang, I can't tell you the truth: I can't sing, and now I feel drunk and want to go back to rest, so I won't go to the song hall, I wish everyone a good time." ”
When Chen Yunhan heard him say that he didn't want to sing, he suddenly became anxious, glared and said, "You are the protagonist tonight, and we will accompany you to hi Pi." If you don't sing, what's the taste? Besides, no one is born a singer. If you really can't sing, I'll teach you to sing when the time comes. ”
Jiang Fujun originally wanted to further get close to Tang Xin, so he proposed to sing, but when he saw him retreating, he hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Tang, karaoke is originally a self-entertainment activity, you can go there and shout a few times if you can sing or not, the picture is a relaxed and happy life, and you feel an atmosphere of gathering friends." You better go for a while, you see, Miss Chen is in a hurry. If you don't go, I'm afraid she'll pull your ears!hahaha!"
It turned out that Jiang Fujun, like Shi Xiaolin, saw that Chen Yunhan was very fond of Tang Xin, so he deliberately made a joke.
Chen Yunhan's face turned red again, he rolled his eyes at Jiang Fujun, and said: "Mr. Jiang, you are not serious anymore, who rarely wants him to go! I just saw that you proposed to sing, if he didn't go, you would have a dull face, so I echoed your proposal." Don't 'dog bite Lu Dongbin - you don't know the hearts of good people'!"
Tang Xin didn't hear the name of the song hall clearly just now, and asked, "Mr. Jiang, where did you just say to sing?"
"'Shengshi Tang Ge' is on the other side of the pedestrian street, and it only takes a few minutes to drive from here. ”
Tang Xin's heart moved, and asked, "Have you booked a box?"
"Not yet. I don't usually sing either, so I don't know the reservation number for that cabaret. ”
Tang Xin said: "I have a younger sister who works as a waitress in this song hall, and there is a rule in their store that each waiter must complete the task of booking ten private rooms every month, otherwise they will be fined 10% of their salary. Moreover, they booked a box and had a commission of 30 yuan. Otherwise, I'll call my sister and ask her to book a box for us, which can be regarded as helping her complete a task. ”
Jiang Fujun nodded hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, please call your sister to book a box!"
Chen Yunhan looked at Tang Xin suspiciously, and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you say that you were an orphan?
Tang Xin rubbed his palms awkwardly and explained: "She is a girl I met in a WeChat group looking for relatives, named Song Yao. She was abducted by traffickers at the age of four or five, tortured to support her family, and went out to work at the age of 15 to find her biological parents. Because of the same disease, I have a good relationship with her, and we call each other brother and sister, not my own sister. ”
Shi Xiaolin saw that Chen Yunhan's face turned white, and knew that she was jealous, so she hurriedly lowered her voice and persuaded: "Hanhan, I have also seen this kind of thing of becoming brothers and sisters with different surnames due to sympathy for the same disease, it is not surprising. Besides, Mr. Tang originally had a girlfriend, which also proves that he has no ambiguous relationship with that song hall waiter, don't think too much about it!"
Chen Yunhan thought about Shi Xiaolin's words, and her face returned to normal.
At this time, Tang Xin had already picked up the phone, dialed Song Yao's mobile phone number, and asked her to book a private room.
Song Yao asked both surprised and happy: "Brother, don't you never sing? Why did Yaxing come to Shengshi Tang Ge to play today? It just so happens that we haven't seen each other for half a month, and I still have something I want to discuss with you, so let's meet when you come." ”
"Okay, let's get to the song hall in about fifteen minutes, you tell me the box number!"
A quarter of an hour later, Tang Xin and the others entered the prosperous Tang Ge KTX and found the 208 box.
A girl wearing waiter's overalls and a beautiful face stood at the door of the box, and when she saw Tang Xin, she happily called "brother", invited them into the box, and brought everyone a cup of lemon tea.
After making tea, Song Yao pulled Tang Xin aside and said a little regretfully: "Brother, a regular customer has booked a box for me tonight, and designated me to serve in his box and sing with him." I originally wanted the manager to arrange for another sister to serve him, but the manager said that this customer was a big boss, and he was still the brother of the head of the police station in charge of our area, and he couldn't afford to offend. He assigned me to serve, and I had to look at the box, so I can't serve you in this box. However, it will take half an hour for the customer to come, and we can go to the private room across the street to talk. ”
Tang Xin nodded and said, "Okay, let's go talk to the bread box later." ”
