Huayu 1995

Chapter 65 Where Does the Road Lead?
After class, Su Chao still went to the karaoke bar.

Today is Qixi Festival!

While this day may not be as popular as Valentine's Day or Christmas in karaoke bars, it's still a significant event.

The guests are very generous, and the karaoke room is also great.

On this day, all the flowers and gifts, and the karaoke bar gave away to the resident singers at a discount, without taking a single penny of commission.

I absolutely have to go!

Su Chao wanted to save up a little more money before Zhang Yu arrived.

If it were really a difference of a thousand or eight hundred, he would hug Zhang Yu and cry his heart out.

Su Chao's small goal for today is to earn five thousand yuan in one night!

Even before it officially opened for business, the resident singers were already mostly present.

They were all dressed up in their finest attire.

Even Su Chao sprayed his hair with Huang Bo's hair gel.

Forget the rest.

Su Chao is not very comfortable with many of the makeup and styling options of this era, unless it is for acting purposes.

Moreover, his persona at the karaoke bar was that of everyone's younger brother.

You're just a younger brother, why are you acting so flamboyant?

If a young, beautiful, and wealthy woman were to take a liking to him, would he accept or reject her?

However, the atmosphere in the karaoke bar is a bit off today.

As soon as Su Chao finished singing "Two People Forget Each Other," someone immediately requested another song.

"Play 'Where is the Road Ahead?'"

Along with the song request, there was also a flower basket containing two hundred yuan.

There's an unspoken rule in karaoke bars.

Sending a flower basket along with a song request is considered "demanding something from someone," implying that since the money is there, it's up to you whether they'll give you face.

This behavior is very "pampering." Wu Xiubo's rich wife often does this, and he always blows her a kiss at this time.

If it's Valentine's Day or Christmas, there might be other wealthy women vying for his attention.

If you give me a 200 yuan flower basket to sing "A Spray of Plum Blossoms", then I'll give you 300 yuan to sing "I Love the Country More Than the Beauty".

Can this be tolerated?
We have to spend more money to beat this slut.

Wu Xiubo once earned 5,000 yuan in one night, and that's how he did it.

Moreover, if it's a song request made with a flower basket, they will try their best to arrange it even if it's not on the song list, and the sound engineer will sing it a cappella if they can't find the accompaniment.

After all, the guests were very sincere.

When Su Chao heard someone request a song, and specifically this particular song, his mind began to analyze the situation rapidly:

If nothing else, there will be an accident.

This taste...it's so familiar.

It is coming!
That's right, the show of making things difficult for him is about to begin.

Su Chao has nine ways to ruin his training class, and naturally, he also has nine ways to ruin his singing career.

One of them was hiring people to humiliate him.

Beating him up is the simplest and most brutal way, but it requires the right timing, location, and people.

Moreover, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.

If you hire someone to assault someone and they get caught, you'll be in deep trouble.

Getting friends to make things difficult is an open scheme.

It doesn't matter if someone finds out.

If I give you money and you can't accept it, don't blame others for making things difficult for you.

Su Chao has only been here for a few days, and his opponents are not quite sure how many songs he has in reserve.

Therefore, forcing him to sing songs that didn't suit his temperament or were humiliating became the simplest option.

Humiliate him, and see who still likes him.

To be honest, Su Chao had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

He quickly adjusted his expression.

action~
Surprise, grievance, humiliation...

Is this it? Is this the humiliation you wanted? Are you satisfied?
Of course, that's definitely not enough.

Su Chao also showed his ability to endure humiliation and hardship. He didn't wipe away tears, but his eyes conveyed a lot of emotion.

In order to capture the essence of the performance, he even recalled some unpleasant things from his past life.

She poured all her acting skills into it.

At the time, many of the older siblings were planning to forcibly intervene.

What do you want our younger brother to sing?

where is the road?

You're just here to cause trouble, aren't you?

"Sound engineer, come here~ May I ask where the road leads?"

Su Chao spoke up before anyone else could.

Brothers and sisters, please don't disturb my chance to make a fortune today!

Whether he can earn more than 5,000 today depends on how well these people who came to humiliate him perform.

Come on, humiliate me.

You're just throwing money at me, I'm afraid you won't bring enough.

"You carry the load, I lead the horse, welcoming the sunrise, seeing off the sunset..."

Su Chao actually really likes to sing "Where is the Road Ahead?", a song that many people can sing a few lines of.

Ning Hao's "Breakup Buddies" also pays tribute to this song.

That scene contributed many memorable moments.

However, Su Chao did not appear very happy, otherwise people would stop humiliating him.

One must endure the injustice to the very end.

"La la / la la la la la la la / through spring, autumn, winter and summer / through sweet and sour / where is the road / the road is under your feet..." He kept telling himself that he couldn't get carried away. If others could see that he was having a good time, they might not force him.

Today is a big day, the stage can't be given to him all at once.

If each resident singer gets a song request, then they'll sing three songs at a time.

Therefore, Su Chao temporarily gave the stage to other singers.

He sat there, looking quite down.

In fact, his performance was a great success. Not only were the guests at that table who requested the song satisfied, but it also prompted many of his older brothers and sisters who felt sorry for him to send him flowers.

Although bouquets of flowers can't compare to flower baskets, the sheer number of them makes it a decent income.

His calling out to his older brother and sister these past few days has had an effect.

Everyone felt sorry for his younger brother.

"How about I go find Sister Hong and ask her for help?"

Huang Bo leaned closer and whispered something.

Both he and Zhou Xun were very worried about Su Chao.

Our principal, who is usually such a spirited person, is now sitting there like a melancholy frog.

"Neck, go to that corner in the northwest and find Teacher Lin. If anyone requests a similar song later, raise the price, but watch my gestures and be careful not to scare them away."

Su Chao gave the instructions in a low voice.

"understand!"

Huang Bo suddenly realized that Su Chao was setting a trap for people.

He's so bored today, he has all the time in the world.

He can usually make a name for himself by being funny and getting people to request a couple of songs, but on a day like Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day), nobody wants to see him.

Huang Bo circled around and quickly found their vocal teacher in a corner.

Her looks and figure are incredibly striking.

Even a seasoned pervert like Huang Bo wouldn't dare look directly at him.

Unfortunately, he didn't know the relationship between Lin Zhimeng and Su Chao.

He didn't believe his older sister and younger brother.

First friends, then sister, and finally little darling.

It's all about the thrill.

If he offends the boss's woman, he's no longer a brother.

Lin Zhimeng brought her younger sister Lin Zhiqing with her this time. Hao Lei, Qin Hailu, and a few others were also in the same booth as them.

Goodness, they really want to team up and get some principals.

"You don't need to spend any money...and he wasn't wronged at all..."

Lin Zhimeng's expression remained indifferent.

She had a deep understanding of Su Chao's cunning.

That's just a little liar.

In stark contrast to her were those other girls.

Paying 80 yuan for a ticket is already a huge burden, yet they actually wanted to raise money to rescue the principal and spare him from singing those "vulgar" songs.

"My boss wants Teacher Lin to help raise the price, but not too much, lest he scare people away. He's going to fleece a few fat sheep today..."

Huang Bo conveyed Su Chao's message and then left.

He works at a karaoke bar and has a good relationship with Su Chao. If he sits here, people will notice.

Not long after, Su Chao was back on the field.

Let's start with song selection.

The difficulties arrived as expected, and it was the same group of people as before.

This time, instead of using folk songs, they wanted Su Chao to sing "Dare to Love, Dare to Do".

George Lam is known as having an "iron lung".

This song, "Dare to Love, Dare to Do," is one of his most representative energetic songs.

It's very difficult.

Most singers sing off-key in various ways.

Clearly, these people also want to try which method is more effective and can cause Su Chao more pain.

Act, act like your life depends on it!
Su Chao even stood at an angle where the guests at that table could see him while waiting.

Just as he was feeling aggrieved, someone else sent him a flower basket worth 300 yuan and then requested him to sing "A Chinese Ghost Story".

If you request a song first and then send a flower basket, that's a normal song request, and it would be after "Dare to Love, Dare to Do". But now that you're sending a flower basket first, it means that he won't sing your song, and he'll sing mine instead.

This is only done when there's a provocation.

After all, there isn't much difference between singing first and singing later.

The guests who were making things difficult for Su Chao did not hesitate at all and decisively raised the price.

Su Chao is a Cinderella of the nightclubs; she always leaves as soon as midnight strikes.

I have to get it done before noon today.

The flower basket price has increased to four hundred.

Many guests noticed this scene; on special occasions, this kind of jealousy and rivalry is something everyone enjoys watching.

Su Chao secretly gestured a six to Thor.

Lin Zhimeng is a very intelligent girl; she will definitely understand what he means.

As expected, Lin Zhimeng raised the price.

The table that had been making things difficult for Su Chao began to hesitate. Adding another 700 would mean an extra 200, and they couldn't keep adding 100 at a time for the sake of face.

That's eight hundred.

Paying 800 yuan for a song is just plain stupid.

However, they quickly made an offer.

This time, Su Chao didn't ask Thor to raise the price again and obediently started singing "Dare to Love, Dare to Do".

It's just love, what's there to be afraid of?
