The night breeze blew and blew away the heat of the day.

At the JOIN bar, Joan had just had a drink when her phone rang.

Joan glanced at the number on the screen, and her long eyebrows furrowed slightly. Knowing that her thumb hesitated for a moment on the hang up button, she suppressed the urge to hang up the phone directly, went around to the back door alley, and answered the phone.

As soon as it was connected, the old man's loud voice sounded over there.

"Joan! If you don't answer the phone for so long, are you dead, or are you going out to live and your wings are stiff and your temper is big, right? Look at you crazy, you dare not answer my call? ”“

"......" Joan was speechless for a moment.

She had no intention of entangling with the old man too much, the old man never called him on weekdays, and once he did, there was no good thing: "What happened to Qiao Meng?" ”

"What's wrong with Qiao Meng, why don't you look forward to your brother's well?"

"How is he? He's good, what are you calling me. ”

Wasn't it Qiao Meng who caused trouble so he called her in a hurry and asked her to wipe Qiao Meng's ass.

The biggest evidence is that she has been blacklisting the old man, that is, her grandmother Zhang Shuya's number for several months, and the blacklist was lifted only a few days ago under the persuasion of her grandfather, and her grandmother was completely unaware of it.

It seems that Qiao Meng is quite honest these days.

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a moment, Qiao An faintly heard the sound of grinding teeth, and after a while, Zhang Shuya continued: "...... This weekend, you come home, the boss of Tengfei said that he wants to see you, although he has been divorced once, but he is still young, forty-five years old is the most energetic time for men, but you, are in their twenties, and they are not young, don't fool around outside all day long, marry someone early, and be a broad wife with peace of mind. ”

Qiao An's eyebrows jumped a few times, and instead of being angry, she smiled: "Take off? Why haven't I heard of it? ”

Zhang Shuya has arranged her blind date more than once, and every time she finds a man, she is a so-called "entrepreneur" who doesn't know where to come out of nowhere.

She was curious about where Zhang Shuya knew these people!

Qiao An couldn't help but ask, "Is the old man you introduced this time as high in annual salary as my monthly salary?" ”

"What's the use of a woman earning more! In the end, it's not about getting married! It's not all someone else's stuff when you're married! I can tell you, your money is not allowed to be spent indiscriminately, it is all reserved for Qiao Meng, do you hear!! ”

Hear a fart.

Qiao An pressed the phone without saying a word, and quickly pulled Zhang Shuya's number into the blacklist again.

The relationship between her and Zhang Shuya is no longer repairable, and Qiao An is not willing to bother to play any drama of Zuci and Sun Xiao.

Joan stood in the alley, feeling much calmer after a little wind, and was about to go back to the store for a few more drinks when the back door of the bar creaked open.

"Sister Qiao, you are really here."

The person who came out was Zheng Xingchuan, the bartender of the JOIN bar, not to mention the good bartending skills, and the people were also good-looking, since Qiao An poached him, the turnover of the bar suddenly increased by thirty percent: "Xiao Zheng, what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Zheng hesitated with a hard face, but still stumbled and said, "Sister Qiao...... I, I want to resign......"

Qiao An was stunned for a moment: "...... Do you think the salary is low? I can give you a raise. ”

"It's not about salary, Sister Qiao's salary is already very high!" Xiao Zheng's face was slightly red: "I'm just ...... Sister Qiao, I've always wanted to be a singer......"

Joan was stunned again: "Singer? Are you singing? ”

"Hmm......" Xiao Zheng scratched the back of his head shyly and said, "A FEW DAYS AGO, THE LIVE HOUSE ON NORTH STREET INVITED ME AND ASKED ME IF I WANTED TO ...... If I had been a bartender in the past, I would have been given the opportunity to do a live show, and I really didn't want to miss this opportunity......"

Jo Ann chuckles, want to be a singer? That's not easy!

She took out a business card from her wallet and handed it to Xiao Zheng: "Have you recorded a demo?" Bring it to me to listen, your voice condition is really good, I didn't notice it before, it was my negligence. ”

But it's not too late.

"Sister Qiao, what are you ......" Xiao Zheng took the business card suspiciously, and trembled with excitement after just looking at it, "Tian, Tianchuan Entertainment's agent...... Sister Qiao, you, I thought you ......"

"The bar is just opened by me out of interest, how about joining Tianchuan and jumping to the LIVEHOUSE on North Street, you can choose one."

"Joe, Sister Joe! Are you sure!! "What else do you need to choose, anyone who has a brain will go to Tianchuan!

Xiao Zheng was excited, thought of something again, and calmed down: "But I have already made up my mind with the other party, what should I do?" ”

Joan keenly grasped the core of his words: "Just decided? Signed up? ”

"Not ...... yet"

"You give me the address of the other party, and I'll talk."

Qiao An asked Xiao Zheng to call a car for her and went straight to the North Street Night Night LIVE HOUSE. She also touched up her makeup a little in the car and re-scratched her hair with setting spray.

Very good, foolproof combat state.

Joan got out of the car and entered the store, her apricot eyes swept and her thin eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The atmosphere here is completely different from her bar, and it has a more club-like feel, and after a cursory glance, she can vaguely see a few big names in the entertainment industry who often appear in the newspapers.

The security guard saw Qiao An going in directly, and hurriedly stopped her: "Miss, you can't come in casually here, have you made an appointment?" ”

"Good evening." Qiao An took out his business card and handed it to the security guard: "I am the agent of Tianchuan Entertainment Company, and I want to meet your manager." ”

"This ......" Hearing the words Tianchuan Entertainment, the security guard stopped her and softened her movements, but her face was still embarrassed, "Miss Qiao, the manager is meeting with an important guest, I'm afraid it's not convenient to see you." ”

"I can wait." Joan found an unmanned booth and beckoned the waiter over, "Wine list." ”

"This ......" she posed as a consumer, and the security guard had no choice but to let her go.

Joan drank slowly, and there was a pianist playing on the stage in the store, and the soft sound of the piano made Joan a little dazed.

This piano piece ...... It is the favorite of the mother who ran away from home.

Lately, she has been dreaming about her mother before she left home.

That night, the five-year-old woke up crying because of a nightmare, and her mother, who was supposed to come to see her, couldn't call, and young Joan searched every room she could go in barefoot, and finally saw her mother in front of the hall door.

That night's mother was very strange, she had always been elegant and generous, but she was wearing a burgundy dress, her long hair that had always been meek and coiled up was wantonly draped, and she also wore delicate makeup, and her diamond earrings sparkled under the corridor lamp, exuding a sex appeal and beauty that Joan had never seen before.

"An An." Seeing her daughter coming, she didn't squat down and stroke her head as usual, just stood at the door with her waist straight, standing gracefully and confidently like a proud queen, Joan noticed the suitcase at her feet, "Mommy is leaving, do you want to go with Mommy?" ”

What did she answer then? Joan can't remember it anymore, but when her mother left, the back of the blooming rose melted into the night, burning on her retina, and every time she thought about it, it hurt her heart.

Jo Ann sighed softly.

This trace of sighing and sadness fell into the eyes of the man standing behind the foliage plant in the corner.

"Is that her?"
