015 [New Officials Take Office]
Caesar Cabaret is located in the most prosperous square street in Panyu County.
This area is the economic center of Panyu, with many large shopping malls, restaurants and restaurants, and even a four-star hotel that is famous throughout Yangcheng.
When Song Zhichao arrived at the Caesar Cabaret, there were almost no people. After last night's hustle and bustle, the dance hall at this time has become very deserted, like a beautiful woman who has been dancing on the disco all night, lazily sitting on the side of the street.
The shape of the whole dance hall is to imitate the ancient Roman building, large columns, antique structure, there is a huge fountain in front of the gate--- Julius Caesar wears a diagonal robe, holds a scepter in his hand, stands majestically on the platform of the fountain, around him, several fountains are spraying water, looking beautiful.
Suddenly, the door of the dance hall slowly opened, and an uncle in charge of buying waste wine bottles talked to a man and began to happily carry a large pile of waste outside.
In the dance hall industry, the most waste products are wine bottles, beer bottles, liquor bottles, and foreign wine bottles. This kind of bottle is recycled, and special bottles such as Moutai, Wuliangye, and red square, black square, Hennessy, etc. in foreign wine, the price is relatively high.
These high-priced bottles are intended for counterfeit liquor. With the reform and opening up, simple people have become more open-minded, and the fake wine business has come into being. However, compared with the situation of the proliferation of fake wine in the previous life, the fake wine business in this era is not so rampant, and the bad guys who make fake wine also have a bit of conscience, at most they use inferior home-brewed wine, and do not use pure industrial alcohol, which makes people drink sick.
In addition to the uncle who cleaned up the wine bottles, there was also a guy outside the ballroom who helped watch the car.
In these days, bicycles are very expensive, although they are not as expensive as before, they hang bicycles on the wall as ancestral offerings, but they are also a necessary means of transportation for every family to decorate their façade.
When people come to a dance hall to play, they must provide free car watching, so many dance halls will be equipped with special car watchers. If the car is stuck outside, it will cost five cents to a dime to see one, and it will be a lot of money after a long time.
……
After casually observing it, Song Zhichao didn't rush in, there happened to be a breakfast shop nearby, selling white porridge, boat porridge, preserved egg and lean pork porridge, as well as lotus paste buns, bean paste buns and the like.
Song Zhichao shook in and ordered a bowl of porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, then let a cigarette, and talked with the idle boss while eating the porridge.
The boss was a chatterbox, listening to the radio all morning, and it was rare to sit down to smoke a cigarette to rest and find someone to chat.
So he wrapped his water skirt, held a cigarette, crossed his legs, and began to blow water with Song Zhichao, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he talked about the international situation and political dynamics, saying that Noriega, the former commander of the National Defense Forces of Panama, was escorted to the United States, and Mandela of South Africa came out of prison after 27 years, and said that our country and Singapore have established diplomatic relations, and Singaporeans are all Chinese, and they will go to Singapore to play when they have money in the future.
Song Zhichao said that you know a lot.
The shopkeeper bared his teeth and said modestly: "It's a pity that I'm a food seller, and I didn't study much at the beginning, otherwise I would have entered the United Nations earlier!"
Song Zhichao put down the small spoon in his hand, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, and showed a smile to the shop owner, "I don't know how much you know about the song and dance hall in front of you?"
The shopkeeper immediately answered: "Why aren't there many?!, they are all face-to-face neighbors, and the customers in his dance hall are still eating at my place!"
Seeing that the boss's cigarette was almost finished, Song Zhichao handed over another one, "Then I'll ask you something......
The shopkeeper took the cigarette with a smile, "As long as I know, I will tell you!"
Song Zhichao smiled.
……
Gradually, at almost half past ten in the morning, the staff of the dance hall came one after another.
Caesars Cabaret does not have a morning shift, but there is a noon shift, because sometimes some guests who need to talk about business will visit the cabaret at noon to listen to songs and drink coffee, so someone needs to be on duty.
Song Zhichao saw that the time was almost up, so he pulled his shirt and walked towards the dance hall calmly.
Before he arrived at the door, Song Zhichao smelled a stream of wine mixed with perfume in his nose, and he tasted the slowly fermenting night scene.
At the door of the ballroom, a girl who was applying lipstick to the small round mirror saw him, and thought that there was a guest, so she hurriedly picked up the mirror, straightened her chest and hips, and put on a welcoming posture, and waited until Song Zhichao came to the front, bowed and said: "Hello, welcome to the Caesar Cabaret!"
Song Zhichao glanced at her work number plate, and her name was "Wang Yan".
Seeing that Song Zhichao didn't answer, just looked at her, Wang Yan was blushing when Song Zhichao saw it, mainly because Song Zhichao was too handsome and his hairstyle was so unique, guessing whether it would be from Hong Kong.
Thinking that Song Zhichao couldn't understand Mandarin, Wang Yan spoke it again in Cantonese, and then asked: "May I ask sir, do you need to ......?"
Song Zhichao showed a smile at her and said, "I don't need anything, I'm here to work, by the way, is Uncle Kun here?"
Uncle Kun is the personnel manager here, and he is also the old man who came out with Mark to fight the world, and is deeply trusted by Mark.
Wang Yan was stunned by Song Zhichao's smile, she never thought that a man would look so good when he smiled.
After hearing Song Zhichao's words clearly, he hurriedly said: "You are looking for Uncle Kun, he is taking inventory in the warehouse, you sit first, and I will call him." ”
"Well, that's good. I'm sorry for you. Song Zhichao nodded politely at Wang Yan.
Song Zhichao casually found a seat and sat down, looking around.
Like many cabaret nightclubs, the ballroom is a large venue filled with round drinking tables, and in front of it is a large stage equipped with laser and rock lights, and next to the stage are drums, electric guitars, and electronic keyboards.
The walls of the cabaret hall are covered with wallpaper of European and American abstract paintings, and deformed people are shouting loudly, dancing with long hair, arms, hands and feet...... After watching it for a long time, Song Zhichao saw that this painting was a picture of several people dancing "break dancing".
In fact, "breakdancing" was the most popular in this era, and pull-back shoes, bloomers, and headbands were the basic standard for "breakdancing".
If you go to one of those large dance halls, as soon as a song "A Fire in Winter" sounds, a large group of break dancing masters will immediately pour out. Among them, the most representative is the "Dancing King" Tao Jin......
……
Just when Song Zhichao was thinking wildly, footsteps sounded, but it was the female greeter named Wang Yan who called Uncle Kun over.
It was a man in his forties, very thin, but full of energy, and when he saw Song Zhichao, he hesitated: "You are ......"
Song Zhichao showed a smile, "Hello Uncle Kun, my name is Song Zhichao, I guess Boss Zhang has already told you......"
Boss Zhang is "Brother Mark" Zhang Tiezhu.
When Uncle Kun heard this, a smile immediately appeared on his face, "It turns out that you are Ah Chao, the boss just called and mentioned you, saying that you are going to work here today!"
Next to Wang Yan heard that Song Zhichao was going to work here, so she wondered whether to arrange him to be a waiter or a wine salesman.
But before Wang Yan finished thinking about it, she heard Uncle Kun say to her: "Ah Yan, let me introduce you to --- this is Song Zhichao, the new general manager of our song and dance hall, Manager Song!"
"Huh?" Wang Yan, who was pondering, immediately opened her mouth in surprise, she never thought that this young boy who looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old and younger than herself turned out to be her top boss, the new general manager.
