"The working hours are arranged every Friday and Saturday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and Sunday from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m., do you have a problem with this working time?" Liu Xiaoting asked Chen Chufan.

It's already two o'clock in the afternoon, and the sweltering heat in W City has brought excellent business to Decca Ice Cream Parlor, not only the bar is crowded, but the store is also full of more than a dozen tables for two. Fortunately, the two came early and occupied one of the positions.

"No problem, there are no classes these days!" Chen Chufan nodded and responded.

"Your salary is tentatively set at 100 yuan per hour, if you have a customer to play a designated piece during working hours, we charge 500 yuan for a song, you can get 200 yuan, 300 yuan to the club, is there a problem?" Liu Xiaoting asked again.

"What if I can't play a specific piece that a customer ordered?" Chen Chufan said with some apprehension, he was very satisfied with the salary, but it seemed that he could play a little less tune.

"If you have a piano score, can you play it proficiently? I mean without specialized practice! Hearing Chen Chufan's question, Liu Xiaoting asked rhetorically.

"If it weren't for a particularly difficult piece, I wouldn't have much of a problem." Chen Chufan still has this self-confidence, through a month of music theory study, Chen Chufan has become familiar with the piano score, plus his current super fast response, as long as there is a score, he is really confident to get it.

"Then don't be afraid, the piano score in the clubhouse is very well prepared. Pure piano scores, pop music, classical folk and so on. Liu Xiaoting then explained.

After listening to Liu Xiaoting's explanation, Chen Chufan nodded and said, "Well, then it's no problem!" It's just that the place of work is a little farther away. ”

This is the only place that Chen Chufan criticizes, the Qingshuiwan Club where he goes to work is located on the edge of the Yangtze River, and it takes two buses to transfer from the school, which is estimated to take 2 hours, and it takes four hours to go back and forth, which is too much delay.

"Well, you can call directly when you go to work, and the transportation club will reimburse you for the actual expenses, so it's okay!" Liu Xiaoting thought for a moment and said.

Chen Chufan didn't expect that he would reap benefits for himself with a casual remark, so he was a little embarrassed. hurriedly thanked him: "Then thank you Aunt Liu." ”

"Okay, that's it. But it's best to be at the clubhouse two hours early on Friday, sign a contract, give you work clothes, and practice a little with the other musicians in the clubhouse so that you can have a sense of understanding! Liu Xiaoting finally concluded.

"Huh? Will all have their own band? Chen Chufan was a little surprised.

"Of course, sometimes some singers are invited to the clubhouse, and if there is no own band, how can others sing songs!" Liu Xiaoting looked at the big boy with a surprised face and explained.

"I see!" Chen Chufan thought it was his own solo.

"Okay, then we'll see you on Friday, and you can just call over when the time comes. Remember to ask the driver for an invoice, otherwise the fare will not be reimbursed! Liu Xiaoting finally reminded.

"Thank you, Aunt Liu, then I'll go back to school first!" Chen Chufan seriously thanked Liu Xiaoting again, and then prepared to leave. He is very happy now, with a salary of 1,200 yuan a week, not only can he get rid of poverty and become rich, but also mail a part of it to the family to help reduce the burden on the family, it is perfect, he is anxious to share the good news with his parents and friends.

"Okay, you go back first! Remember to arrive early on Friday! Liu Xiaoting finally instructed.

Chen Chufan, who was a little excited, ran in when he ran into the first phone booth on the way back to the dormitory. is ready to give good news to his parents, speaking of which, Chen Chufan has been an obedient and good child since he was a child, even during the rebellious period, he came over so ordinarily, and he didn't cause any trouble to the family. Even if he caused any trouble, Chen Chufan never wanted to let his family know.

"Hey, who's that?" Mother's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Mom, it's me!" Chen Chufan replied softly. Chen Chufan has never been a sentimental person, but every time he talks to his family on the phone, he unconsciously thinks of the small mountain town in S City, and he can't help but lower his voice.

"Fanfan, is there something wrong? Is it not enough for living expenses? Mother asked with concern.

This may be a common problem of boys, who always don't like to call home often, so they call more in the dormitory at home. And as long as you call home, you usually ask for living expenses. Chen Chufan is not exempt from vulgarity. So every time he took the initiative to call home, his family would always ask the same question. Although the family is not rich, it can even be described as poor, but if Chen Chufan really asks for it, his parents have never been stingy.

"No, Mom! I have good news for you, I got a part-time job at the school, and I can earn about 3,000 yuan a month! You don't have to remit living expenses in the future! I'm fully able to support myself. I estimate my tuition, and you don't have to worry about it. Chen Chufan said happily.

It's just that he didn't expect that his mother was not as happy as he imagined, but his tone was full of worry.

"Fanfan, what can you do as a student to make so much money? It can't be illegal, right? I can tell you, although the family is a little poor, but there is no problem for you to study, you can't lose a big because of a small thing! ”

"Mom, where do you want to go? Am I like someone who would do something illegal? Chen Chufan said helplessly. He didn't realize at all that it was a good thing, and that he only made his mother feel worried, but it also reminded him that he seemed to have to come up with a suitable reason to explain that he was making so much money. Said to play the piano for someone? The family is not roommates in the dormitory, he can fool around casually, he has never touched this kind of musical instrument since he was a child, and suddenly he can make money from this? I guess they won't believe it, but they will be more worried.

As for explicitly saying that he has now become a genius? Then they will probably be more worried.

"So what do you do to make so much money?" Sure enough, his mother asked the question.

Fortunately, Chen Chufan's head is turning fast now, and he has already found a good reason for himself: "Didn't I get a first-class scholarship this semester, one of my classmates helped me contact a few part-time tutors, I am very valuable, I have 50 yuan an hour!" ”

"Oh? How many tutors do you do? Won't it be too tiring? "Mother still doesn't seem to be completely relieved.

It wasn't until Chen Chufan struggled to keep his lips and tongue out and spent ten minutes that he could reassure his mother. Hanging up the phone, Chen Chufan even let out a long breath, and the excitement just now was swept away. I even felt a little heavy. If you let your family know your current weird state, what will you worry about? Chen Chufan was a little afraid to think about it.

Or just keep it hidden, Chen Chufan pondered along the way until he walked into the bedroom.

Chen Chufan really has the feeling that he is a big man, and he is always missed. Before he could tell the two of them that he had found a very good part-time job, he was caught by Yang Tao and complained.

"Third child, where did you go? If you don't come back, I'm going to go to the TV station to broadcast the missing person notice! You're a must-have for dinner tonight! The next time you encounter this situation, you have to ask me for leave! Yang Tao said categorically.

Chen Chufan looked at Yang Tao inexplicably, what is indispensable? Is he a prop? Besides, it's only four o'clock, so is it already time to eat? Don't you usually eat until six o'clock? What makes Chen Chufan even more inexplicable is that even the boss Meng Wei agrees with Yang Tao's words very much.

"The second child is right, the third child, you are too unorganized and disciplined, you have to change!"

"What kind of trouble are you guys doing! Isn't it just a meal? As for the online line?! Chen Chufan really felt a little crying and laughing. What a big deal, as far as it's concerned? What's more, he didn't seem to be late.

However, Chen Chufan did not choose to reason with the two. Just keep silent and let the two of them play to their heart's content. Obviously, whether it is Yang Tao who is chatting or Meng Wei, who has now burned his head because of the spring, he is definitely not a character who will reason with him.

After the two finished criticizing, Chen Chufan said, "Okay, I know it's wrong." To apologize, I'll have this meal today. Today I found a part-time job with a good salary, so I celebrated. ”

"What kind of part-time job? Let's listen to it, my brother will help you check it to see if you are a liar! Yang Tao asked curiously.

"Working as a pianist in a clubhouse earns 100 yuan an hour! There are about 10 hours of work a week, mainly on weekends! Chen Chufan said simply.

"Okay, you! The third child is amazing. Isn't that a week a thousand dollars earned? Directly get rid of poverty and become rich! Yang Tao congratulated happily.

"It's long overdue." Meng Wei continued, "Earlier, your Wang Linlin probably wouldn't be willing to break up with you!" ”

Meng Wei's words made Chen Chufan feel confused for a while, if he hadn't fallen out of love, would he still be like this? Or is everything fate?

"Okay, there's nothing to mention what that woman does, it's unappetizing!" Yang Tao saw that Chen Chufan seemed to be a little distracted, and hurriedly said, glaring at Meng Wei as he spoke, since Yang Tao began to train Meng Wei, he has become more and more unkind to his boss.

Meng Wei also knew that he had said the wrong thing, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. When Chen Chufan came to his senses, he smiled, saying that he didn't care.

"By the way, I promised to invite Han Xiaoxi and their bedroom to eat together, but I haven't invited them until now, so it's better to invite them together!" Chen Chufan said lightly.

"Don't, I can tell you the third child, you want Mars to hit the earth, you know? That Chen Xi seems to mean a little bit to you today! If you call those two of you, you may be able to find out what will happen. Listen to my brother, don't call together! Yang Tao said excitedly.
