Chapter 19: The Lord of Gold
The lyrics and tunes of Tang Yan's song "Yuanxiang" are simple and plain, but it has a bit of fresh taste, although Tang Yan's performance is not very professional, but it can still make people feel that she does sing very carefully.
With Tang Yan's stunning face, her originally plain singing voice is a bit like nature, which shows that she still has some acting talent.
Seeing the radiant Tang Yan on the stage, Duan Yun's eyes also froze a little, and his heart seemed to begin to throb slightly......
After all, Duan Yun himself is just a man with normal development, and it would be just self-deception to say that he is completely unmoved by a superb girl like Tang Yan.
It's just that Duan Yun quickly calmed down, he knew that there was still a big gap between his family background and situation and Tang Yan.
As soon as the song ended, the whole bar instantly applauded, and with the sound of percussion and applause, many people shouted and asked Tang Yan to sing another song.
At the same time, several men in black suits sitting in the corner of the bar were silent, and their eyes looked at Tang Yan with a bit of greed and strangeness......
Three flower baskets were instantly placed at Tang Yan's feet.
The flower basket was given by the audience, and according to the rules of the bar, as long as someone gave a gift, Tang Yan needed to sing again.
"What's going on with this flower basket?" Duan Yun asked curiously when he saw this.
"There is a price list just now, a flower basket is 88 yuan, and the singer and the bar are divided in half. Luo Yan replied casually.
"It's so expensive......" Guo Qing on the side smacked his tongue when he listened.
"The flower basket in this bar is quite cheap, you go to the bar on the opposite street to take a look, the cheapest flower basket is also 888 yuan!" Luo Yan pouted, and then said: "Do you think these singers who came out to break into the rivers and lakes will earn some dead wages like your parents who are workers?"
At this time, Tang Yan on the stage saw the flower basket sent, smiled and bowed to the audience to thank him, cleared his throat, and then sang another song.
is different from the first song, Tang Yan's song is relatively cheerful, and she still sings very devotedly.
There is still thunderous applause, and there are still flower baskets to be sent, which shows that Tang Yan's 'debut' in this bar is still quite popular.
The third, fourth...... When Tang Yan sang the seventh song in one breath, she already clearly felt that she was already a little exhausted.
Although Tang Yan has a certain talent in singing, she is only a girl in high school after all, and after a few songs, her face has begun to turn slightly pale.
"I'm sorry guys, I need to take a break......"
Just as Tang Yan finished singing a song and wanted to take a break from the stage, the staff in the audience suddenly sent a full twenty flower baskets to the stage!
"Drink!" Seeing this, everyone in the audience immediately let out a burst of exclamation.
You must know that the consumption in this small bar is basically the petty bourgeoisie and white-collar workers of large enterprises in Heyang, although they are richer than ordinary people, but compared with the real local tyrants, the consumption power is still far behind, and they send twenty flower baskets at a time, which is beyond their imagination.
"Awesome, Tang Yan made more money tonight than my parents earned in a month. Guo Qing looked at the flower baskets that were already piled up under the stage, and was stunned in surprise.
"Thank you, boss. Seeing the flower basket sent from the audience, Tang Yan smiled slightly, lifted her spirits, and sang another song.
When Tang Yan finished singing this song, her voice was already slightly hoarse, and then she turned around and covered her mouth and coughed lightly.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry, I need to take a break......" Seeing the whistles and applause from the audience, Tang Yan said with a wry smile.
"You can't go! Our boss wants you to keep singing. Just as Tang Yan wanted to walk off the stage, a bald man in a black suit stepped forward to stop her.
Twenty more flower baskets were stacked under the stage.
It seems that Tang Yan was targeted by a certain outbreak. Seeing the battle on the stage, Luo Yan frowned and said.
"Do I have to sing after sending a flower basket?" Duan Yun asked.
"Of course!" Luo Yan pouted, and then said: "Otherwise, you must accompany customers to drink or leave the bar, which is the unwritten rule of entertainment venues." ”
"Accompany the wine, Tang Yan is not yet eighteen years old, right?" Duan Yun asked with a frown.
Duan Yun was in his first year of high school, and he had just turned seventeen years old, Tang Yan and him should be the same age, and he had not yet crossed the threshold of eighteen years old.
"You can come out to work at the age of sixteen, and I have seen the personal files in the class before, except for Fan Tong, who has been tutoring for one year in the third year of junior high school, he is eighteen years old, and everyone else is seventeen years old. Luo Yan said.
"Well, that's true. Duan Yun nodded.
Just as Duan Yun and the three of them were discussing in a whisper, several strong men in black suits walked to the stage and surrounded Tang Yan.
"I'm really sorry, my voice is not very comfortable, I really can't sing anymore. Seeing that this group of people looked unrelenting, Tang Yan explained with a wry smile.
"Don't talk nonsense! Since our boss sent a flower basket, you must continue singing, this is the rule!" a black-faced man in the lead sneered, and then said: "Either you go over and explain to our boss yourself!"
"Who is your boss?" Tang Yanliu frowned slightly and asked.
"I'm waiting for you somewhere. The black-faced man pointed with his hand to the place next to Duan Yun and the three of them, in the corner of the back row.
"Okay. Tang Yan bit her red lip lightly and followed the black-faced man to the back row.
"I'll rub, don't let Tang Yan see a few of us. Seeing the black-faced strong man walking in the direction behind him, Luo Yan exclaimed, and the three of them immediately leaned down and twisted their heads to the side.
However, Tang Yan didn't seem to look at the three of them at all, but walked straight to the group of black-clothed people next to them.
"Hehe, the girl sings well, this is the first time you've come out to make money, right?"
Seeing Tang Yan coming, an obese man wearing a leopard print suit and a string of thumb-thick gold chains around his neck greeted Tang Yan with a smile on his face.
"Yes, today is the first time I have come out to sing, may I ask the boss what to call it?" Tang Yan asked in a calm tone.
"Everyone on the road praises me and calls me Lord Leopard, just call me Brother Leopard. The fat man who called himself Brother Leopard smiled, and then said: "You have a good figure and good looks, and you do have a bit of capital to come out to make money, but when you come out to mix, no matter where you are, you must understand the rules and be reasonable, you know?"
"Brother Leopard, I really don't have the strength to sing anymore. ”
"Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't sing or not, anyway, I'm not here to listen to singing today. Brother Leopard spat out the smoke ring at Tang Yan, pointed to a few bottles of beer on the coffee table with his hand and said: "I also gave the flower basket today, and I gave you face, but my money is not blown by the wind, as compensation, as long as you drink these bottles of wine, we will buy and sell, how about it?"
"But I won't drink......" Tang Yan said with a sad face.
"No one is born with the ability to do anything, so you can learn slowly. Brother Leopard smiled, the fat on his face instantly squeezed together, only to hear him continue: "There is an old saying on the road: how bold a person is, how productive the land is! Anyway, you came out for money, so I'll put the words here, every time you drink a bottle of wine, I will give you ten flower baskets, this price is not low, right?"
"Thank you, Brother Leopard, for cheering me on. Tang Yan paused, and said apologetically: "But please forgive Brother Leopard, I really can't drink, as for the flower basket you just gave, I can talk to the bar owner and ask him to refund the original price......"
"Don't fucking give a shame! You are just a little bitch who came out of X to smash, pretending to be innocent! Brother Leopard invited you to drink because he looked up to you, hurry up and accompany Brother Leopard to drink the wine, otherwise Lao Tzu will spoil your face!" A man next to Brother Leopard yelled at Tang Yan with a grim face.
"Hey, I said knife, don't scare people. Brother Leopard scolded the man who was called the knife, but there was a bit of approval in his eyes when he looked at him.
"I'm sorry, I won't drink. Tang Yan's face was still calm, but the hands covered by the sleeves began to tremble slightly.
"Smack!" As soon as Tang Yan's words fell, Brother Leopard suddenly got up and raised his hand to give Tang Yan a slap.
Although Tang Yan was tall, she couldn't withstand this slap, and fell back directly on the sofa behind her!
