Chapter 104: Mi Cai sings
I didn't take my suggestion to heart, but I was still immersed in the picture with Jian Wei just now. I slapped me with dissatisfaction before I came to my senses.
"Zhaoyang, have you listened to me?"
I used to lit a cigarette and said, "You said Micai will come over later, I'll listen."
cc asked again, "What about the next sentence?"
"Is there any more behind?"
He said: "CC just said that Micai is a CEO from Jumei Shopping Center, or a master's degree in the School of Business from the University of Pennsylvania. He must have a lot of insights in business marketing. We can consult her later to see if she has any good opinions."
I nodded and signaled to know.
cc finally asked in confusion: "Zhaoyang, what's wrong with you? I just went out for a while, and when I came back, I felt like I had become a different person... I was absent-minded!"
He took a deep breath of cigarettes, then took out Jian Wei's bank card from his pocket and handed it to Le Yao and said, "There is 500,000 yuan in this card. You can take it first, and I will find a way to do the rest."
Everyone looked at me in surprise, and finally Le Yao asked, "Who lent it to you?"
I didn't want to tell everyone that this was lent to me by Jian Wei. After a long silence, I said to Le Yao: "I am a friend. As for who it is, don't ask, the money is very clean."
Le Yao finally nodded and took the bank card from me, saying, "Zhaoyang, reassure your friend that I will definitely pay him back the money."
I once again told Le Yao, "It's best to lose if you have the ability. Don't force me if you don't. I'll figure it out with you."
While talking, Mi Cai walked in from the entrance with her handbag. Because there were very few people, she immediately noticed us sitting in the corner and then walked towards us.
cc gave Mi Cai a seat, and Mi Cai put the bag on the table and looked around. The cold atmosphere in the bar also showed a look of sympathy on her face.
I didn't want the atmosphere to be too dull, so I smiled and said to Mi Cai, "What do you want to drink? Let Le Dazhao invite you."
"beer."
Mi Cai's answer surprised me, and then asked, "Don't you dislike drinking?"
Mi Cai looked at the performance stand and said, "I want to go up and sing later."
"Is there a necessary connection between drinking beer and singing?" Robben also asked in surprise.
I smiled and replied in place of Mi Cai, "Well, it turns out that those who are close to the ink are so dark!"
cc put on Mi Cai's shoulder and smiled, "Dear, do you want to light a cigarette for you later? I'm still smoking!"
Mi Cai just smiled, and Le Yao called the waiter to ask for a glass of beer for Mi Cai.
Mi Cai took a sip in the eyes of everyone, but frowned. It seemed that she really didn't have the habit of drinking. She put down the cup in her hand and asked Le Yao: "Has the bar business always been like this?"
"Except for the better business days after opening, the business is like this later." Le Yao replied.
cc asked Mi Cai with concern: "Dear, is there a way to save Le Yao's bar?"
Mi Cai was silent for a moment before saying, "To be honest, it's very difficult!... The bar itself does not have much problem. The main reason is that this commercial street has not yet formed a commercial climate... and I can't judge when this street will develop."
CC showed disappointment on his face, and I nodded because Micai's analysis was exactly the same as my judgment, and it was too difficult for us who had no funds to change the overall marketing environment.
Le Yao, who had been silent, finally asked Mi Cai: "What do you mean is that unless this commercial street develops, will the bar be dead?"
Mi Cai shook her head and said, "It may not be necessary...but there may be a glimmer of hope to change the business thinking, right, Zhaoyang?"
I nodded, of course I agreed with Micai's words, but changing the business idea means repackaging the bar, and packaging requires a lot of expenses. It is too early to talk about changing the business idea when the debt has not been resolved yet.
Mi Cai picked up the beer and took a sip. When she put down the cup, I said to her: "Didn't you just say you want to sing? We are all waiting for you to sing!"
cc echoed and asked, "Dear, you haven't even sang in my restaurant. Why are you so interested today?"
Mi Cai looked at me but didn't say anything. I pointed at myself and asked in surprise: "Does it have anything to do with me?"
Mi Cai smiled unanimously and said nothing. I looked at her fingers and indeed cut off her nails. It seemed that she was indeed prepared today.
Micai said to Robben: "Can you lend me your guitar?"
Robben nodded, then handed the valuable fender guitar beside him to Micai. Micai said "Thank you" and walked towards the performance stage with her guitar in her arms.
Because the bar's operating conditions were not good and I did not invite a band, Mi Cai would play and sing completely on her own, which was a test of her skills. I couldn't help but wonder if she could control it.
I saw Mi Cai first tried the guitar notes, closed her eyes and seemed to recall the music score, and then she pulled the strings of the guitar. However, this time she saw that she was very skillful in using her fingering techniques, so there should be no problem. I look forward to what song she would sing.
After a few notes came out, they looked at each other and smiled. The first song Mi Cai sang in front of us was Chen Qizhen's "The Pose of Flowers". This is a very small and fresh song. Although it does not match Mi Cai's indifferent temperament, I am still looking forward to it.
Not only us, but also the few customers in the bar, put down their cups and looked at Mi Cai who was preparing to sing with anticipation. After all, it is difficult to see such a beautiful woman, and there are even fewer beauties who can play guitar. If the tone is still very good, it is simply the best among the best. At least looking at the entire Chinese music scene, there are only a handful of female singers who can meet these three conditions at the same time!
A song "The Pose of Flowers" was sung from Mi Cai's mouth. Her voice was very clear and delicate, with a sense of vicissitudes and graininess, but it was very clean. During the singing process, she did not use any skills to render the song, but made the whole song more natural and intoxicating.
cc looked at Mi Cai on the small stage and sighed, "Is there really such a perfect woman in this world? God is too partial to her, and it seems that all the pampering is given to her."
Nodded, but my heart was a little bitter. In fact, God is not partial. They may not know Mi Cai's background. Although she is beautiful, rich and wise, she is a lonely woman without family warmth!
Mi Cai finally finished singing Chen Qizhen's "The Pose of Flowers". Although there were not many people in the audience, the applause was very warm. The few customers were still unsatisfied and strongly asked Mi Cai to have another song, but she shook her head and signaled not to sing it.
Micai returned to us and returned the guitar to Robben. Robben picked her thumbs up and praised: "You have good playing skills."
This is not Robben's praise. During the Micai performance, the arpeggio is single-pointed, the arpeggio is mostly pointed, the arpeggio is swept, the right hand cuts the tone, and the wheel finger... The perfect use of these guitar performance techniques is not an exaggeration at all.
In response to Robben's praise, he put his arms around her shoulder and said, "I'm going to Micai's nickname). When you have time, you must go to my restaurant to support you. It's great!"
Mi Cai smiled and said, "It's OK."
cc nodded, and our emotions also relaxed a little during Mi Cai's first singing. Several people picked up their cups and touched one together.
Putting down the cup, Mi Cai took his handbag, took out a check that had filled in numbers and handed it to Le Yao and said, "There is one million here. You can pay off the debts owed by the bar first. Zhaoyang will help you solve the remaining business problems."
Chapter completed!
