Chapter 1: The Encounter of Fate
"Don't die...... I don't want you to die......"
The hoarse voice of grief and despair lingered in Ji Ran's ears like a dream demon, although he had heard it thousands of times, he still felt a deep distress and helplessness.
"Wake up, young man!" An ear-shattering sound made Ji Ran sober up, hiding the sadness in his eyes, he looked up at the source of the sound suspiciously, and then remembered! I was in a taxi.
Ji Ran wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, and smiled at the owner of the voice, that is, the taxi driver, with a little apology: "It's here, I'm sorry for you!" ”
"Haha, no trouble, charter a car to Anyang...... Something urgent, right? The middle-aged driver waved his hand, and after driving a taxi for more than ten years, the chance of receiving a customer like Ji Ran is still very rare. That's why he was curious about Ji Ran's purpose, after all, opening a rental is also a boring thing.
"Sort of!" Ji Ran grinned slightly, his eyes turned to the door of a dance hall outside the window, and a flash of color flashed in his eyes: "Thank you, uncle, this is the car money, and I will take your car next time I have the opportunity." ”
After speaking, Ji Ran then handed the other party a pile of banknotes and got out of the car, the middle-aged driver looked at the other party's back dumbly, and looked at the banknotes in his hand: "It's really a generous guy, but this trip is not a loss." Meimei put away the banknotes, stepped on the accelerator and drove quickly into the distance.
Ji Ran, carrying a backpack, strolled down the street, where the ballroom was located in a small alley, with a small sign hanging at the door. The old glass doors are stained and the neon signs are broken, showing the dilapidation of the place.
It's just that Ji Ran didn't seem to feel that the environment here was dirty at all, but looked around with interest. The fact that FW Business Consulting was able to achieve such results in just three years is not because of his natural talent, nor because he has the help of noble people. There are some things that science cannot explain clearly, just like when a person dies, he suddenly loses more than a dozen grams.
Ji Ran also has a phenomenon that is difficult to explain by science, that is, he ...... at the end of each month are able to foresee the future of some others! Sometimes it's the future of a consortium director, sometimes it's the head of a small garment factory. Through this, he has helped many people, and has also received a lot of remuneration, and has established a business chain based on FW business consulting, although it is still extremely weak, but Ji Ran, who has a foundation, is developing steadily.
And he also foresaw his future, which was that strange dream! Every time, it was six girls who couldn't see their faces clearly who cried out with grief and despair, and after he was already familiar with his ability to predict, Ji Ran realized it...... One day in the future, he may die surrounded by six girls.
But the dream was too vague to grasp the slightest clue! He only knew ...... That's the six hoarse and helpless girls. But these are like mirages that can't be caught, and Ji Ran has no power to investigate at all. South Korea has a population of only 40 million, and Seoul occupies 10 million! But six people...... And I don't know my appearance or height, just looking for it by gender, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.
So Ji Ran began to cultivate his own power, and when one day this magical ability changed, maybe he would be able to see the future about himself! And this bizarre idea was fulfilled on the night he returned to his grandfather's house.
"It's amazing to meet a girl in such a place!" Ji Ran touched his chin, pushed open the glass door and walked in. Just as he had foreseen, the ballroom was bleak, with five or six grown men sitting in the corner, drinking as if they were celebrating something.
At the bar, several young men and women dressed in bells and whistles were entangled together, and there was a smell of tobacco and alcohol in the air, which made Ji Ran very uncomfortable! However, this kind of love lasted less than half a second, and Ji Ran was attracted by the girl on the high platform in the middle of the dance hall.
Looking at the layout of the dance hall, Ji Ran casually walked to a booth closest to the stage and sat down, and the waiter was very courteous and sent a dozen beers and some snacks. Ji Ran waved his hand after throwing a bill to the other party, signaling that the other party could leave, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the girl who was preparing to sing in the middle of the stage.
Perhaps Ji Ran's gaze was too hot, and the girl who was auditioning for the microphone in the middle of the stage turned her head suspiciously, her eyes full of vigilance and vigilance.
Ji Ran didn't seem to notice these at all, and still stared at the other party intently. Rough makeup, this was the first thought that popped into Ji Ran's heart, but then he found out that this girl was deliberate. He's not a girl, but he's never seen pork eaten, and he's never seen a pig run! There are many girls dressed up on the street, and the girls on this stage ...... Whether it's eyeliner or lip gloss, they deliberately use the most tacky collocation, and even the clothes are old-fashioned styles.
If it weren't deliberately dressed like this, then the girl would have run out of the countryside! But how can such a girl have the strength to sing in this kind of dance hall. The conclusion goes without saying that the girl is deliberately clumsy.
Ji Ran's unscrupulous look made the girl feel very embarrassed, she was working here for the first day. The girl who knows very well what kind of place the dance hall is deliberately dressed up in the rustic, and wants to earn this reward with her strength. But I didn't expect that even so, I was still being targeted by others. It's just that in the face of this gaze, the girl has no choice, because she needs this job.
The girl turned her head and glanced at Ji Ran coldly, and then the music sounded! An old song...... If Ji Ran is not mistaken, this seems to be the theme song in the comedy romance movie "My Sassy Girlfriend", which has been popular for a while.
Ji Ran looked at the girl with interest, because according to what he saw! In a few minutes, a very interesting thing will happen. But immediately, he realized that the girl's singing voice was ...... compared to what was happening in the club. It seems to be more interesting.
A female voice with a bit of European and American accent came out of the girl's mouth, and the original singer of the song IBeleve was a man, and it was sung by Shengshen Seungxun, who is known as the "Prince of Love Songs". However, these have nothing to do with Ji Ran, he doesn't understand music, but he also has his own level of appreciation.
As soon as the girl spoke, the kind of singing voice that poured out feelings and sadness made Ji Ran freeze. Because the voice ...... It's too familiar, the voice that has been in my dreams and has been in my ears thousands of times, full of sorrow and despair, how similar it is to the singing voice of the girl now, it should be said that it is the same person.
Ji Ran's eyes gradually became rosy at some point, he couldn't understand what kind of mood he was in before he died, but he could realize that he was about to die...... The girl in the middle of this stage will be desperate and sad.
"Is this fate?" Ji Ran put away his smiling face and watched a few young people dressed in bells and whistles stand up from the bar counter restlessly, and walked to the stage with arrogant figure-eight steps.
Ji Ran began to move his wrist, the picture he saw ended here, and as for what happened after that, he didn't have to think about it.
"I said this is a dance hall, what are you singing about?" A young man with a nose ring slapped the stage with his hand dissatisfied, and his tone was full of invincibility, as if he was the biggest in the world.
A flash of panic flashed in the girl's eyes, and her eyes subconsciously looked at a middle-aged man who was wiping a cup at the bar. And the waiter in the dance hall seemed to realize something, but he didn't come forward to stop the gangster's move, and watched coldly.
"Hey, Gao Shao, she's new here, she will definitely sing dance music next time, don't you mind." The slightly fat middle-aged man hurriedly walked over from the bar, carefully comforting the thugs in a flattering tone.
"Boss Park, you're too casual, aren't you?" The little gangster seemed to be inspired by some kind of encouragement, and became more arrogant: "Who is this girl, don't talk about being ugly, singing as if she is going to die, I'm here to have fun, not to attend the funeral." ”
"I'm so sorry, I'm going to tell her, I'm absolutely satisfying." The middle-aged man known as Boss Park clumsily climbed onto the stage, walked to the girl's side, and carefully said a few words. Ji Ran pursed her lips and got up and walked to the edge of the stage, looking at the girl with a look of embarrassment on her face.
A crisp snap of his fingers sounded in the ears of the little gangster, and Ji Ran walked lightly to the stage: "That, Boss Park is right, right?" ”
The slightly chubby middle-aged man who was talking to the girl turned his head to look at Ji Ran with a bit of surprise, he was the owner of this dance hall. And it has a history of five or six years, and it has had a glorious history, but under the impact of the times, all the brilliance will slowly grow old with the years.
Relatively speaking, the customers here are also familiar faces, after all, in this economic downturn, this kind of dance hall with low cost has become a place for many people.
"If I want a song, I'll sing the one I just had." Compared with the arrogance of the little gangster, Ji Ran was very polite, and there was even a question in his tone: "I don't know about this ...... Well! Can this lady who sings very well, be able to sing? ”
Ji Ran, who didn't know what to call the girl, paused, and then used a very funny pronoun.
"Are you here to find fault?" It's just that Ji Ran's cold humor didn't get applause, and it didn't get laughter! The little thug looked at Ji Ran coldly, such an obvious attitude was enough to explain it.
"Finding fault?" Ji Ran raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look at the few men who were surrounding behind the little thugs, and not far away, two or three girls who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old were whistling! He also shouted cheers. Faced with such a scene, Ji Ran shook his head speechlessly, a group of lost young people, this is the definition in Ji Ran's heart.
"I'm sorry, but I like that girl's song so much that I want to hear it! If you think I'm finding fault, then I'm sorry. Ji Ran said very politely, as if he was discussing, but as soon as he finished speaking, he changed his tone: "I'm just here to find fault......"
'Poof', the girl who had been watching the movement here covered her mouth and laughed, Ji Ran has always had no fear from just now to now! Even now, I'm still teasing these little gangsters. The girl didn't know where Ji Ran got the confidence, but compared to Ji Ran's unscrupulous look, she hated the cursing of a few thugs more. And watching the other party deflated, of course she saw what she saw.
