Chapter 4: Resident Singing

In a Starbucks café near Apgujeong Station, Park Shi-yoon and Chen Qi sit facing each other, with a cup of fragrant mocha coffee in front of him.

"I'll introduce you to my bar first." Chen Qi took a sip of coffee and said: "My bar is nearby, it is different from ordinary bars, and the main customers are elites such as white-collar workers and gold-collar workers in society. They are under great pressure during the day, and at night they need to relax their tense nerves, quietly drink a glass of wine, chat with friends, and listen to the singers sing lyrical songs with soft melodies, which is undoubtedly a kind of enjoyment. And most of the bars are very noisy, catering to the hobbies of young people, so the literary bar was quietly born.

There used to be a female singer in my bar, but she was poached by an agency some time ago. After she left, I interviewed several singers in a row, but I was not satisfied, they were not serious singers, and the customers reacted very well after a few days of auditioning.

Six days ago, I passed by Apgujeong Station and overheard you singing Kim Jong Kook's "A Man" and was immediately attracted by your singing. The next day I came to Apguting Station again, and you were still there, so I observed you for six days in a row, and I felt very good, so I decided to invite you to my bar today! ”

"Oh~~~" Park Shiyun showed a sudden look on his face, it turned out that this was the case.

"Are you from Seoul?" Chen Qi asked.

Park Shiyun shook his head and said, "I'm from Jeonju. ”

"So you went to school in Seoul? I don't think you're very old, how old are you? ”

"At the age of 20, I didn't get into the university of my choice, and I didn't want to repeat my studies, so I wanted to come to Seoul to break through and see the world."

"Oh~~ I see!" Chen Qi was a little impressed by Park Shiyun, a 20-year-old young man dared to come to Seoul alone, and he admired this courage.

"That's right, my bar opens at 7 p.m. and closes at 12 p.m. every night, during which you have to sing 15 to 20 songs, there is no hard and fast rule about what songs to sing, but it is mainly lyrical, and occasionally customers will order songs, and they will give you a song fee, and the bar does not take a fee for this fee. Audition for a week, 50,000 won a day, and after a week of satisfying the guests, your daily salary will rise to 100,000. In fact, this part of the money is nothing, and your main income still depends on the tips and song fees given by the guests. If you sing to the satisfaction of the guests, it will cost 250,000 won in one night. You must know that they are all white-collar workers, gold-collar workers and even CEOs of some companies, and they are very generous in rewarding.

How's that, are you interested? After Chen Qi finished the introduction, he looked at Park Shiyun with a coffee cup, waiting for his response.

Park Shiyun was stunned when he heard this, in addition to singing, he knew for the first time that singing could make money like this. He silently calculated in his heart, if it is calculated according to 100,000 won, there will be 3 million won a month, this salary is already more than the sum of his parents' monthly salary, not to mention that this is not counting the tips for singing and rewarding, the minimum income of 3 million won a month is very considerable, ten times or even twenty times higher than the monthly income of a fresh college student. Not only can he subsidize his family by singing, but he can live a chic life in Seoul.

Moreover, what makes Park Park Shiyun more concerned is that the last resident singer of this bar was poached by a brokerage company. It could be that the owner of this agency or some talent scout came to the bar for a drink and overheard the resident singing.

Attracted by money and opportunity, Park Shi-yoon is eager to try.

Seeing that Park Shiyun was still thinking about it (in fact, he was in a trance), Chen Qi looked at his watch and said, "It's not early today, so let's do it, you also have my business card, and the business card has the address of the bar, if you think about it, you can come to the bar at 7 o'clock tomorrow night to try out, and this matter is settled." If you don't come tomorrow night, I'll find a new resident singer, and this opportunity is only valid until tomorrow night. ”

After speaking, Chen Qi got up and left. Park Shiyun is a young man he has some appreciation, and he also gave him a chance to change the status quo, and then it depends on whether he can grasp it. What's more, he has no reason to refuse, does he?

After Chen Qi left, Park Shiyun sat in place for a long time before coming back to his senses, he pinched the business card in his pocket, and had already made a decision in his heart.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening when he left Starbucks, and Park Shiyun knew that this was the time when his parents "got off work", and the family ran a small restaurant, mainly making bibimbap in Jeonju, and his parents would be busy until ten o'clock every night before going home. He took out his phone and dialed his home number.

After a while, the phone was connected.

"Hey, Xiao Yun?"

"Mom~~" Park Shiyun's eyes turned red when he heard this familiar voice. He has not been in contact with his family for a month away from home, and he was even more hungry a week ago.

"Xiao Yun, how are you doing in Seoul? How's the food? Where do you sleep at night? Do you have enough money? ”

There was a burst of concerned words on the phone, and two lines of tears immediately fell from Park Shiyun's red eyes, he wiped his tears and said: "Mom, I'm fine, although there is no agency to sign a contract with me, but I have already got a job just now, if nothing else, I will go to a bar to sing, and at best a month, I can have an income of 5 million (1::180), which is more than the money you and your father make in a month, and I will keep 1 million when the time comes, and the rest will be sent back to you." ”

"Really? That's great! The mother said happily that her son has grown up and can make money, and his first job is more than the monthly income of herself and her husband, how can she not be happy. Moreover, she was pleasantly surprised to find that after going out for a month, her son seemed to have become more sensible than before.

"It's good that you're doing well in Seoul, you don't have to send any money home, Seoul has a lot of expenses, so you can keep it for yourself." Pay attention to your body, pay attention to safety, and don't learn badly! ”

Listening to his mother's advice, Park Shiyun nodded heavily, "I know, is Dad still angry with me?" ”

"Giggle~~ How can it be, stupid boy, how can father and son have an overnight feud, the day after you left, he began to talk about you, and he was concerned about whether you arrived in Seoul safely, and all of a sudden he was concerned about whether you ate and lived well in Seoul, whether the money on his body was enough In fact, your father is a knife mouth tofu heart."

"Well, I know," Park Shi-yoon choked up.

"I'll let him listen to the phone, old man, weren't you more anxious than me just now, now let you listen, and say a few words to my son."

"Hey."

"Hey, Dad~~~"

"Well, you pay attention to yourself in Seoul, I don't care if you can make a name for yourself, but you must not learn badly, otherwise I will break your legs!"

"Well, I see, thank you Dad!"

Father's love is deep, although it is only a short sentence, it makes Park Shiyun extremely warm.

"Dead old man, why are you still intimidating your son, call me, let me say a few more words"

Park Shiyun talked to his family on the phone while walking, and he told his parents about what happened to him in Seoul this month, eating instant noodles every day, living in the basement, and prostrating from hunger was naturally eliminated by him.

Before I knew it, the phone call took 40 minutes to hang up.

"Huh? Where am I? After Park Shiyun hung up the phone, he realized that he had unknowingly walked to a strange place. There were mostly office buildings around, and he glanced at it, and a four-story white building caught his eye. This white building is pasted on the side of a large poster of TVXQ, Superjunior, and Bao'er, and the front is composed of several five-pointed stars composed of small colored lights shining white in the dark night, and the largest five-pointed star in the middle has "**to.xstxt.org is coming. Seeing this sign, Park Shiyun was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that he would inadvertently walk to the headquarters of S.M, the leading boss of a Korean brokerage company.

Park has interviewed many brokerage companies, but S.M is not one of them. The first is that S.M only recruits trainees at the specified time every year, and the second is that S.M, as a top brokerage company in South Korea, must be full of talents among the trainees, not to mention the fierce competition, Park Shiyun doesn't know if he is comparable with those excellent trainees, so he has excluded the top impossible brokerage companies such as S.M, JYP, YG from the interview list from the beginning, and has been interviewing with second- and third-rate brokerage companies.

(What is a second- or third-rate brokerage company, a second-rate brokerage company with a second-tier star is a second-rate brokerage company, and a third-tier brokerage company with a third-tier star is a third-rate brokerage company)

"S.M~~~" Park Shiyun raised his head and looked at the S.M company with an upward mood, "It would be great if I could enter the S.M company!" ”

After a while, Park Shiyun retracted his thoughts, stopped daydreaming about the impossible, and prepared to leave. At this moment, a small door on the side of S.M. opened and a group of young men and women stepped out.

"They're S.M's trainees." Park Shiyun took a look at these "pride of heaven", in the entertainment industry, S.M's trainees are like the pride of heaven who was admitted to Seoul National University.

"Actually, I'm only half a step away from the pride of the sky!" Park Shiyun smiled self-deprecatingly. Just when Park Shiyun was about to withdraw his gaze and leave, his eyes suddenly widened, and his heart suddenly became hot. Among the young men and women, Park Shiyun's gaze was fixed on a girl.

Although it was dark and the vision was not very clear, Park Shiyun's intuition told him that that person was her. The girl who waited at the subway entrance in the most stupid way for seven days without showing up.
