The chaotic clouds are still calm

Section XIX

Under neon lights

Lu Weimin returned to the Western restaurant with emotion, he felt that Xu Xiaochun might be a little emotional, but he should still be quite rational about his own adjustment this time, which made Lu Weimin also admire Xu Xiaochun's open-mindedness

Back in the restaurant, He Keng and the others had already finished their meal, Lu Weimin apologized to He Keng, and while also talking about his former boss who was also a teacher and friend, He Keng also praised Lu Weimin's former boss very much, thinking that the other party would definitely have a chance in the future if he had such a bearing.

The entertainment life in Toyosu at night is quite barren, for a new area that has just been established for more than a year, even the basic infrastructure has not yet been completed, so it is natural not to consider other cultural and entertainment facilities, except for a movie theater, that is, those video halls, billiard halls or rental bookstores scattered in the streets and alleys, but this is more of a way for young people with deflated pockets to entertain, and more ordinary people generally watch TV at home or make a friend to play cards and chess for recreation.

Before the establishment of the region, there were not many immigrants in Toyoshu, and even if there were, it was only a few people who came to do business, or villagers who worked on construction sites, and the number was not large, and there were fewer requirements for entertainment.

With the establishment of the Fengzhou area, the rapid establishment of the prefectural party committee and the prefectural organs, coupled with the rapid construction of the office buildings and dormitories of these party and government organs from scratch, immediately turned the entire Fengzhou urban area into a huge construction site, and these cadres who were transferred from Liyang and various counties into the prefectural organs also dragged their children and daughters into Fengzhou, plus the preparatory team for the relocation of the North Machinery Factory and Changfeng Machinery Factory that began last year also officially entered Fengzhou, setting off a frenzy of building a new Fengzhou, which also brought a large influx of people。

In addition, in order to stimulate the urbanization process of Fengzhou and promote the construction of a central city in Fengzhou, the reform of the reform of the household registration system for building houses and farmers to non-household registration in the province has also made some progress, and the province has also initially agreed to consider delegating some power and household registration indicators to the Fengzhou area, so that Fengzhou can consider moderately loosening the urban household registration according to the actual local situation, which has also stimulated the influx of many foreign populations.

The entry of a large number of foreign populations has also made some of the original catering and accommodation places in the urban area of Toyosu begin to change to a comprehensive service body integrating catering, entertainment and accommodation, such as the Toyosu Hotel also adapted to the trend last year to renovate and expand the hotel, not only the Jinlan Garden on the sixth floor was completed, but also the adjacent annex building on the second floor that was originally used as a staff dormitory was reconstructed, making it a popular karaoke and its KTV private room, as part of the entertainment facilities of the Toyosu Hotel.

After Lu Weimin arranged the room for He Keng and the three of them, the waiter at the front desk asked the guests if there were any arrangements for the night, and recommended entertainment that could be done in the hotel.

Lu Weimin thought about He Keng's long night and the three of them, there was nowhere to go, it was better to sing and drink in KTV, which could be regarded as a relief time, not to mention that he also had something to talk about with He Keng, so he agreed.

The area of this annex building is not small, and the decoration is also a lot of blood, starting from the stairs, the thick carpet has been spread into the corridor, and the girls gathered in the hall on the first floor are all wearing heavy makeup, leather skirts, stockings, high heels, and very dark eyeshadow and lipstick, which has almost become the standard dress of these girls.

Occasionally, one or two women dressed a little more elegantly come out, with small lapel suits and white shirts, and slightly tight straight-leg pants are often tightly wrapped around the body, which can outline the round buttocks and slender thighs, or a red knee-length short cheongsam, the side slits are almost to the base of the legs, and even the traces of underwear can be seen under the flesh-colored stockings.

Lu Weimin knows that these women who are obviously higher than those girls are the leaders of the nightclub, generally speaking, they take on the responsibility of introducing the wine and singing girls to the guests, and from time to time they can also help sing a song and drink a glass of wine or a meat joke to liven up the atmosphere, but they generally do not go to accompany the wine and sing, of course, if there are special guests, the boss comes to greet or you have the ability to make these women willing to come to the stage to accompany each other, that is another matter.

"I really didn't expect it.,Fengzhou is not slow to keep up with the rhythm of the times.,I remember that it was last year that Changzhou began to appear in relatively large KTV rooms like this.,Now even Fengzhou has such a grade and looks good KTV.。 ”

He Keng is obviously not interested in drinking and singing, he has seen too much abroad and in Beijing, and he has already passed the age of interest in these, he just didn't expect that the economic development of a poor and remote place like Fengzhou could not keep up, but the speed of development in these aspects seems to be unwilling, and even surpassed.

"The more barren the cultural and entertainment life, the faster they imitate and learn this kind of imported entertainment, because they are eager to be in line with the outside world in terms of fashion and fashion, but often unconsciously and quickly change taste, making it a major feature of the place. Lu Weimin scanned a large group of warblers and Yanyan who came in and out of the sofa and bar in the hall over there, and also smiled and teased, "It seems that Gui Jianguo has a great pace of keeping pace with the times, and I only heard that the sixth floor was going to be rebuilt before I went to Shuangfeng last year, so there was Jinlan Garden, but I didn't expect the annex building here to be changed to a different cave." ”

When Lu Weimin and his entourage appeared in the lobby of the annex building, they immediately attracted attention, especially the two foreigners with obvious characteristics, which attracted the attention of many people, including the lobby manager of the entertainment department on the bar.

Lu Weimin found that he seemed to become unfamiliar with the Fengzhou Hotel all of a sudden, although he didn't come here often when he was working in the local committee, but after all, it was a work need, and sometimes he had to come, in addition to Gui Jianguo as the director of the Fengzhou Municipal Government Office and the manager of the Fengzhou Hotel, there were two deputy managers and the director of the catering department and the accommodation department, he knew both, but the entertainment complex represented by this annex building obviously had nothing to do with the original Fengzhou Hotel, at least Lu Weimin had never seen this man with a flattering smile.

When he heard Lu Weimin say that he only needed to open a KTV private room, but he didn't need to accompany the wine girl, the man's face was a little unpleasant, but fortunately, Lu Weimin said that he needed to take a bottle of red wine to make the man's face vivid.

He Keng originally told his two entourages that they could go back to rest first, but the two entourages were very dedicated, although they knew that their boss was very influential in the country, but they still said that they would follow the boss to prevent accidents.

He Keng is not insisting, he also knows the work habits of his two walls, even in China, they never let their guard down, fortunately, these two people only know some simple Japanese language for Chinese, but they are not afraid of how much impact it will have on the conversation between themselves and Lu Weimin.

The waiter sent a bottle of Rémy Martin XO, Lu Weimin didn't like to drink this kind of foreign wine, and he didn't ask the other party to send this kind of foreign wine that was obviously to treat himself as a big boss, but the other party had already sent it up, and it was not good for him to let the other party replace it, and the entertainment venues in this era were basically monopolized by foreign wine, of course, domestic brands such as the Great Wall were also constantly penetrating, but the Chinese people's habit of worshipping foreign countries seemed to be difficult to get a fundamental change in a short period of time.

"Young master, is this how you Gui run your entertainment hub?" Although Lu Weimin didn't plan to let the other party replace this bottle of Remy Martin XO, he was always a little uncomfortable in his heart, and couldn't help but stab the other party.

"What Mr. Gui? We don't have Mr. Gui here. The young master rolled his eyelids, as if he felt that Lu Weimin had a bit of a punching taste, but when he saw that there were two foreigners in the room, he said politely.

"Isn't the boss of the Fengzhou Hotel Gui Jianguo? Isn't your Yindu Entertainment Hub from the Fengzhou Hotel?" Lu Weimin asked with some surprise.

"Our Yindu Entertainment Hub is the entertainment department of the hotel, but we are independent accountants, and the Fengzhou Hotel does not have a boss surnamed Gui. After the waiter finished speaking, he went out.

"For the people, it seems that we didn't order two escort ladies to make the family very unhappy, why, the boss has also changed?" He Keng is not used to this kind of scene, originally this kind of place is a place where dogs and horses look down on people, you can't bring him the most direct and lucrative benefits, he is naturally not angry, and this kind of performance in a small place like Fengzhou is even worse.

"Who knows? This Fengzhou Hotel is a subordinate industry of the Fengzhou Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and it turned out that the old man was always a deputy director of the Fengzhou Municipal Government Office, and later this deputy director seemed to become the deputy director of the Municipal Party Committee Office, but I remember that it seems to be the boss here, so soon it will be replaced?" Lu Weimin really felt that he seemed to be a little too closed, and this depression really made himself a hillbilly for half a year.

"Come on, are you afraid that you can't afford to pay for this bottle of XO?" He Keng gestured, and the sturdy lady had already opened the wine to pour it for Lu Weimin and He Keng, "Don't worry, it's not your turn to entertain, you better save two for yourself or your Shuangfeng * County." ”

"How can that be done?......

The girl's lips were a little pale, and she stood motionless in the small room next to the bar, and another girl in a short cheongsam next to her gritted her teeth and said, "Manager Huang, let me go, Xiaolian will greet the guests who just came for me, okay?"

"It's not that I say yes or no, but that the guest says yes or no. The man surnamed Huang had a gloomy face and said expressionlessly: "Fan Lian, you have been transferred from the catering department to our entertainment department for a while, how can I arrange work with other people with your attitude? But I know that you borrowed 8,000 yuan in advance from the hotel, and only deducted 3,000, and there is still a difference of 5,000, how are you going to pay it back? You know that our entertainment department is the performance, I didn't let you sing, dance and drink, right?" But you have to go and socialize with the guests, say a few words, persuade them to drink more, and let them consume more, so that your commission can be more, right?"

"You worked in the catering department for more than a year and only paid back more than 1,000 yuan, how long has it been since you arrived in our entertainment department? A month, this is more than 1,000 yuan? What else? No one has done anything to you? It's all voluntary, it doesn't matter if you don't drink, dance, or sing, but you have to say a few words, right? The guest called your name, you don't go, the guest doesn't consume, and we can't do business, right?" The man surnamed Huang's face softened a little, and said patiently: "What are you worried about?" Isn't it just to say a few words, just drink a glass of wine, can I still eat you?"
