Chapter 3: Healing Love Songs
Fang Zhichao is not wrong, although Sun Guomin has a very high vision and high requirements, but he is really quite generous, and he actually offered Liu Jingxin a price of two hundred per hour, and the resident singing period is arranged from six to nine o'clock every night, and there is no need to sing all the time, during which violin and piano performances will be arranged, and the salary will be settled weekly, so that Liu Jingxin is so satisfied that he can't find fault.
After the negotiation, Sun Guomin said that he had something to do, and he got up and wanted to leave.
Liu Jingxin got up and said, "Mr. Sun." ”
"What's the matter? Any more requests? Sun Guomin stopped and asked with a smile.
Liu Jingxin said with a solemn expression: "Mr. Sun, rock music is actually quite good. ”
Sun Guomin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then smiled and shook his head, not wanting to dwell more on this issue, so he prevaricated and said "maybe", and pushed the door and walked out.
Looking at the back of Sun Guomin leaving, Liu Jingxin could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Sure enough, the hardest thing in the world to change is prejudice.
Forget it, everyone's likes and dislikes are different, and there's no reason why anyone has to make others like what they love. He's here to make money, not to fight against worldly prejudices.
Liu Jingxin secretly calculated that he sang for three hours a day, two hundred per hour, and four thousand two hundred yuan a week, and he was only 800 yuan away from completing the task. The resident singer only occupies the time of every night, so he still has the time of the day to use, and then find a way to earn 800 yuan in seven days, the difficulty is much less.
There is a job to find a job, but there is no job to sing, there are many ways.
After packing up his things, Liu Jingxin saw that it was still early, and was about to go to the underground passage of Xidan to sing and make money, but saw a waiter lady with a round face who greeted him.
"Hello, my name is Luo Sihui, you can call me Xiao Luo. Mr. Sun asked me to take you to familiarize yourself with the environment here. ”
"Oh, hello, my name is Liu Jingxin. ”
Luo Sihui leaned forward even more, her mouth turned to the side, and she lowered her voice and said, "The song you sang in the private room just now is so good, we all heard it outside." Oh, the female customer over there was crying. ”
Liu Jingxin turned his head to look over and found that a girl in a black dress was also looking at him.
The girl has big eyes and a melon seed face, although her appearance is not as beautiful as a fairy, but her quiet temperament can easily make people have a good impression of her. Quiet and elegant, Liu Jingxin's first impression of the girl.
The four eyes were far away from each other, and both of them were a little embarrassed, and they were busy blushing slightly and looking away.
Luo Sihui snorted beside her and smiled: "Look at you, I'm embarrassed to look at others." ”
"Uh......" Liu Jingxin also felt a little embarrassed.
Luo Sihui smiled sweetly and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to have a look first." ”
Liu Jingxin nodded politely and said, "Then it's troublesome for you." ”
The café is divided into two floors, with the upper floor mainly private rooms and the lower floor the lobby plus a few small private rooms.
In the center of the hall, there is a small stage with a grand piano on it, and there are violins and cellos on the ground next to it, giving people a strong artistic atmosphere.
On the other side of the wall, a large fish tank on the ground is used as a screen, separating a group of elegant seats, each large fish tank has a lot of kissing fish, with soft and warm lighting, giving people an extremely comfortable feeling, should be very popular with small couples, petty bourgeois couples and other people.
The window side of the street is on the high side, and on the three flights of stairs, the overall color tone is brighter, although there is a certain distance between each two tables, but it is not separated, and it is distributed in a semi-circular equidistance, so that the guests at each table can see the performance on the stage from the best view.
The starry sky is painted in the center of the canopy, and the surrounding area is decorated with wooden frames with plastic vines and morning glories entwined around it. Looking up, it feels like hiding in a sea of flowers and looking up at the starry sky, which is a unique mood.
Listening to Luo Sihui's introduction, Liu Jingxin mainly works in the piano area every day, if there is a customer in need, he needs to go to the customer's side to perform according to the requirements, sometimes the customer will give a tip, you can accept it yourself, but it is absolutely not allowed to take the initiative to ask the customer for a tip.
Hearing this, Liu Jingxin perked up, he didn't expect that there would be tips to earn.
After having a certain understanding of the layout of this café and the various functional areas, Liu Jingxin looked at the time and found that it was already more than four o'clock, so he decided to go out to find a place to eat something first, and wait until six o'clock in the evening to officially start work.
And at this moment, the girl in the black dress raised her hand and called Luo Sihui over, and pointed at Liu Jingxin and didn't know what to say.
Then, Luo Sihui walked over with joy on her face and said to Liu Jingxin: "That customer wants to order a song." ”
Liu Jingxin asked, "How do you count the money for ordering songs?"
Luo Sihui said: "We are all high-end customers here, order one hundred songs, the musician takes half of it, and settles it every day." ”
Liu Jingxin was secretly speechless when he heard it, he didn't expect this place to order songs so expensive. A hundred yuan is enough to buy a genuine album, and you can listen to it repeatedly, but you can only order one song here.
Sure enough, the world of rich people is different!
Luo Sihui was worried that the customer would be angry if she waited too long, so she urged a little anxiously: "Go over quickly, if someone complains, it will be troublesome." ”
Liu Jingxin nodded, walked over with the piano case, and stepped up the steps to the dress girl's table.
When he got closer, Liu Jingxin noticed that the girl's eyes were slightly red and swollen, her face looked a little haggard, and she didn't seem to be in a very good mood.
Liu Jingxin asked with a warm smile, "Beauty, do you want a song?"
The girl let out a "hmm" and said, "You can sing any song, as long as it makes me happy." ”
When a musician is ordered to sing, the most feared thing is that the customer does not ask for it, because the actual psychology of the customer is difficult to grasp, and if he chooses a repertoire that is not suitable for the scene, the effect will be counterproductive and will make the customer very dissatisfied.
Liu Jingxin pulled the armless swivel chair on the side and sat down, and while taking out the guitar, he secretly speculated about the girl's mood at this time.
A girl at this age should be more trapped, disturbed, and hurt by love words, and if you listen to too cheerful songs to her at this time, it shouldn't make her happy, but it will make her feel more irritable.
In that case, let's choose a soothing healing love song.
When Liu Jingxin adjusted the piano tone, he had already made a decision.
"Alan Jackson's Look at me is for you, may you be surrounded by happiness and joy every day. ”
When the words fell, Liu Jingxin struck the strings with his left hand and hooked the strings to beat up the quadruplet and began his performance.
The notes slowly flowed out of Liu Jingxin's fingertips like flowing water, gently rippling in the air.
The girl felt as if she was sitting by the warm fire, wrapped in a soft blanket, looking at the face of the person in front of her who was illuminated by the firelight, and listening to him sincerely pour out his sincerity:
"I would bet my life like I bet my heart, That you were the one...... Darling, look at me, I've fallen like a fool for you, Darling, can't you see, I'd do anything you want me to......"
As Liu Jingxin's thumb slowly swept the strings, this warm healing love song finally came to an end, but the sound of the piano still echoed in the minds of everyone in the café as if it had not yet dissipated.
The girl was a little distracted at this time, Liu Jingxin didn't bother, just sat in place and waited quietly.
After a long while, the girl raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and finally smiled, but tears slowly slipped from the corners of her eyes.
The girl raised her hand to gently wipe away her tears, looked at Liu Jingxin's sincere tone but said in a slightly choked voice: "Thank you, it's very good, I like it very much." ”
Liu Jingxin nodded with a polite smile and expressed his gratitude.
After Liu Jingxin put away the piano and left, the girl got up to check out, walked out of the café, looked at the crimson sunset on the horizon, took a deep breath of air, clenched her fists and whispered to herself: "Tong Wenxuan, you are the strongest, come on!"
