Chapter Forty-Seven: He's Here
Jiang Yue saw that there were five missed calls on her phone, all of which were from Zhang Hong. It's almost eleven o'clock now, and Zhang Hong must have already returned home.
He sent Zhang Hong a message and told her that she would be home in twenty minutes. Then he called his brother and asked about his father's condition. It wasn't until he got downstairs that he hung up.
"You go back and drive slower. Jiang Yue told Zhaozi.
"Don't worry, you can rest early. After saying hello, Zhaozi drove back.
"Why didn't you answer my phone call when you came back so late?" asked Zhang Hong angrily.
"My phone is muted, and I practice with Ji Teng and them, isn't there still two games in a few days. Jiang Yue made up a lie to cover up the past, and now the time is not ripe, he doesn't want to tell Zhang Hong about his part-time job for the time being.
"I'll go to the scene to cheer you on the day you compete. Zhang Hong immediately said with a smile.
"That's a good feeling, with your encouragement, I will definitely be able to win a few more games. Jiang Yue was very happy.
"Jiang Yue, how many more rounds do you have to play?" Zhang Hong now also knows a little about some rules of snooker competitions, which Jiang Yue usually tells her.
"I can theoretically play 16 rounds, and if I win all of them, I'll have to pay 80,000 yuan. You can play at least four rounds, and even if you lose them all, you can still get 4,000 yuan. ”
"Haha. Isn't Ji Teng dead yet?"
"What is this to a rich man? It's a lot of money to a poor man like me. Jiang Yue smiled bitterly.
"Uncle, is he feeling better?"
"My dad is much better, and the doctor recommended that he wait until his health is better for a course of chemotherapy and then go home to recuperate. ”
"That's good, pray for his old man's health and safety. Zhang Hong clasped his palms together.
"My dad has been sick all these years, and his life is really not easy. My mother has been working all these years, and this time I came home and saw that she had lost a lot of weight, and I felt sorry for her. ”
"I have some money here, you transfer it to them first, you can't let them lack money in the hospital. ”
"Sister Hong, I understand your kindness and your thoughts. But you also have to understand me, I can still bear it for the time being, and I will tell you when I can't bear it. ”
"Jiang Yue, have you always regarded me as an outsider? You can borrow money from Zhaozi, why can't you use my money, it's so difficult that my relationship with you is not as close as Zhaozi?" Zhang Hong said as she spoke, her eyes began to redden, and tears were about to flow.
"Sister Hong, let's not talk about this topic, okay? It's not a matter of distance, but I have the ability to handle this matter. Zhaozi's money will be returned to him after I finish the game, and I have the ability to make more money. ”
When Zhang Hong heard this, she didn't mention this matter anymore, she found that Jiang Yue was really stubborn, and it was unpleasant again if she talked about it.
When she got up the next morning, Jiang Yue called her mother first, went downstairs for breakfast after the call, and then went to work at the company.
She has been sleeping very late these days, and she is always sleepy during the day, and Jiang Yue knows that this is caused by lack of sleep. He decided that he must go to bed early in the future, because it would not be good for his health to stay up like this.
After lunch, he lay on his desk and rested for a while, otherwise he would not be able to stay up.
After squinting for a while, the phone rang again, and he picked up the phone and saw that it was Xiaoxiao calling.
"Jiang Yue, do you have time to eat together tonight?"
"Xiaoxiao, I'm really sorry, I don't have time this week, I'll find time to treat you to dinner after the game on Sunday. Jiang Yue thought for a while and said to her.
"Well, I'll watch you play on Saturday. After hanging up Jiang Yue's phone, Xiaoxiao felt very disappointed. Today is her birthday, she asked a few friends to celebrate together, she originally wanted Jiang Yue to come over and participate, everyone had fun together.
Since she couldn't force herself if she didn't have time, she knew that Jiang Yue's mood shouldn't be very good, after all, there was such a big thing in the family.
Jiang Yue also felt embarrassed after hanging up the phone, it had been a long time since she promised to invite Xiaoxiao to dinner, and if she continued like this, she would become a person who did not believe in her word. He decided that he would fulfill his promise next week no matter what, and he couldn't break his trust with Xiaoxiao.
"Jiang Yue, Juanzi is back today, and she is going to listen to you sing in the evening. At this time, Jiang Yue received a call from Zhaozi again.
"Okay, when I get off work, you bring Juanzi to pick me up, and I'll invite you two to dinner when I get paid last night. ”
"At your rate of making money, it won't be long before you become a landlord. I'm going to have to slaughter you tonight, and I won't slaughter you for nothing. Zhaozi teased Jiang Yue on the phone.
"I can't count the landlord's old wealth, but at this rate of making money, I can live a well-off life in half a year. ”
"Okay, I won't tell you, I'll pick you up when I get off work. Bye. ”
"Okay, bye-bye. ”
After hanging up the call, Jiang Yue began to work seriously, he is not a perfunctory person, as long as he does what he does, he will definitely do it seriously.
When he got off work, Jiang Yue met Huang Yinglong, the Minister of Security, and when he saw Jiang Yue, he immediately stepped forward to greet him warmly.
"Jiang Yue, why don't you come when you teach us to exercise?"
"Minister Huang, I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry for you. There's been too much going on lately to make time, so I'll definitely go over to play with you next Sunday, and I'll never miss my appointment. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Do you have time for us to have a few drinks together in the past two days?" Huang Yinglong knew about Jiang Yue's father's hospitalization, and he would not blame Jiang Yue, but invited him to drink and eat together.
"Minister Huang, I really don't have time recently, I'll invite you when I have time. Jiang Yue said apologetically.
"Alright then, I'll invite you when you have time. ”
At this time, Zhaozi drove Tao Juan and arrived, Jiang Yue and Huang Yinglong waved goodbye and got into Zhaozi's car and left.
"What do you two want to eat, I'll please you and Juanzi. When she got into the car, Jiang Yue asked Zhaozi.
"Just eat whatever you want, the simpler the better. "Tao Juan is not very particular about eating.
"How about I invite you to eat hot pot?" Jiang Yue suggested.
"What kind of hot pot to eat when it's too hot, and besides, you still have a performance at night, and the girls don't like you when the smell is too strong. Zhaozi began to tease him again.
", when did a girl like me, why don't I know? ”
"I'm telling you the truth, didn't you see a lot of girls screaming last night? ”
"You're going to talk nonsense, why didn't I see it?"
"You're singing, and the lights are dim in the audience, how can you see it, just pay attention tonight. ”
"Okay, I'll take a closer look at it at night. Jiang Yue said with a smile.
In the end, Zhaozi found a dumpling shop, and they ordered a few plates of dumplings to eat.
Zhaozi deliberately found a dumpling shop, he wanted to save Jiang Yue money, because he knew that Jiang Yue was in urgent need of money. How could Jiang Yue not understand Zhaozi's intentions, he had no choice but to shake his head with a wry smile.
"It's only a little past seven o'clock, it's still early, and the bar hasn't opened yet, where are we going?" asked Jiang Yue after eating.
"Just go to the bar, I'll go and make a few tunes, and I'm going to make sure that I don't repeat them in half a month. ”
"Alright then, we'll go over now. Then Zhaozi drove Jiang Yue to the bar.
Jiang Yue, the sound engineer and the DJ teacher were working on the song they sang tonight, while Zhaozi and Tao Juan sat on the side and drank tea.
After half past eight, the guests began to enter the venue one after another, and there were a lot of people tonight. Because business was booming last night, Shi Xiaoran also came to the bar early, and he wanted to count some data.
At half past nine, when Jiang Yue appeared, screams rang out in the field, even crazier than last night. When Jiang Yue was singing, there were many girls around the stage, swaying desperately, screaming from time to time.
When Jiang Yue was halfway through the song, several beautiful somersaults brought the atmosphere to a climax, and everyone swayed wildly.
Xiaoxiao invited five or six sisters to dinner today, and after dinner, she took everyone to the bar to drink, she never expected Jiang Yue
Actually sang on stage.
When the host announced the curtain, she thought it was not the same person, but just a duplicate name. When Jiang Yue really appeared on the stage, she was completely stunned, it turned out to be him.
When Jiang Yue was singing, several girls sent flowers, all of whom had heard Jiang Yue sing here last night, and came here tonight to cheer.
"This guy is so handsome. ”
"He's really good at singing. ”
"I think it's new, I haven't seen him here the other day. ”
Several of Xiaoxiao's girlfriends were chattering about Jiang Yue, while Xiaoxiao was sitting there.
"Xiaoxiao, what's wrong with you?" asked her companion.
"Not much, I'm distracted. ”
"You're not going to be fascinated by the guys on stage, are you?" quipped.
"I know him, he's my friend. Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly.
"Is what you said true or false, why haven't I heard you say it before?" asked the female companion in surprise.
"I didn't know he was a resident singer here, and I was going to invite him to dinner in the evening, but he didn't come over because of something. ”
"Xiaoxiao, he's really your friend, how about you introduce him to me as a boyfriend?" the female companion said to Xiaoxiao like a nymphomaniac.
"You die that heart, she already has a girlfriend, and I know his girlfriend too. Xiaoxiao glanced at her female companion.
"Xiaoxiao, how about you call him over for a glass of wine with us?"
"No, he didn't tell me when he sang here, which means he doesn't want me to know about it, why am I embarrassed to call him over for a drink?" Xiaoxiao rejected the female companion's proposal.
"He's always been a resident singer in a bar, hasn't he?"
"You may not believe it, he just graduated from college and worked in a company in Dengzhou, and I promise you that he will never be a resident singer for more than three days. ”
"What, you're exaggerating, aren't you?" the female companion didn't believe it.
"You have to believe it, I know why he came to the bar as a resident singer. ”
"Because why?" the female companion continued.
"Because he was short of money, his dad had just had stomach cancer surgery. Xiaoxiao's face showed bitterness.
Tonight, Jiang Yue made up an extra tune in it, and sang a suite for twenty minutes, five minutes more than last night. After singing, he took a curtain call and exited the stage, and the screams of the audience continued.
"Zhaozi, last night we had a turnover of 300,000, which is the best record since we opened. From today to the end of Jiang Yue's singing, the turnover was 10,000 yuan more than the same period last night, and according to statistics, the number of people entering the venue tonight was 80 more than last night. Shi Xiaoran told Zhaozi the data.
"Isn't it, you mean someone came to sing at Jiang Yue?"
"It's not certain for the time being, we have to come up with data to compare, and we have to observe for a few more days to know. ”
"Is this guy so popular?"
"It's only been the second day since he came, and tonight he received eight bouquets of flowers, which shows that they came prepared. ”
"Hmm. It should be so, it seems that he has already gained fans last night. Zhaozi thought that what Shi Xiaoran said made sense.
Jiang Yue came to Zhaozi's side after changing her clothes, and after saying hello to Shi Xiaoran, she walked out with Zhaozi and Tao Juan.
It's already past ten o'clock, and he has to go home as soon as possible, and he can't let Zhang Hong find him every day.
