Returning to '97, creating a new life

Shocked!

Absolutely stunning!

Sun Bo and the other three were shocked by the performance. Its scale completely overturned their understanding of many things and gave them a profound understanding of the saying that the outside world is wonderful.

It's not that the world isn't changing fast enough, it's that we're too slow to keep up with the changes.

Xu Kai poured drinks for everyone, and they ate and drank to ease the awkwardness of the current environment and people. To be honest, it's nothing. It's just that watching this kind of thing together as an audience can be awkward, and people feel embarrassed to face the opposite sex.

If it were a group of men, there would be no problem. But if it were Dong Bin, Fei Wenxin, Bai Rui, Fang Jinyao, and their ilk, they would all be talking eloquently and offering their opinions, raising their glasses to thank Brother Kai for broadening their horizons.

Sun Bo and Wang Tao finally couldn't help but ask Xu Kai what was going on behind them.

Two people had a private room to themselves.

The XO on the table is considered by most people to be a top-tier alcoholic beverage. Taking a sip means paying for the drink, not just enjoying the liquor.

Compared to that, the fruit boat on the table, which cost several hundred dollars, seemed completely unimportant.

Before Xu Kai could explain, the host came on stage again. Accompanied by his impassioned introduction, and as unique exotic music began to play, the stage lights focused and the lights in the audience area dimmed.

Performers from Thailand took to the stage.

Wow, so beautiful.

"Damn, man."

She's this beautiful, even a guy like her isn't out of the question.

Xu Kai was also quite surprised. This Boss Niu really had a lot of influence. Some washed-up performers came to China to make money. Relying on their special status, even if they were old and faded, they would still attract a lot of attention.

The person in the center of the stage is definitely of a high level. Even the champions that Xu Kai saw on the Oriental Princess cruise ship when he traveled to Pattaya in the future are no less impressive.

On that ship, people don't even come down to take photos. Just stand in the central area, and you'll attract countless tourists who will spend tens of baht to take a picture with you. It's absolutely stunning, like a contestant who has won a top prize in a major competition.

The person in front of me is at that level.

Her magnificent attire and every smile and gesture exuded exquisite beauty.

Wang Tao nudged Xu Kai beside him with his elbow, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Is this really a man?"

Xu Kai nodded with a smile: "They're beauty pageant champions. The owner here spent a lot of money to hire them, otherwise we couldn't have gotten them."

If the previous performances were exciting and novel to attract customers, the graceful catwalk performance in front of us is a top-notch visual enjoyment under the influence of psychological suggestion.

There are many beautiful women, but not necessarily that many beauties.

First comes the visual enjoyment, then the visual impact.

The drumming started; several performers came down from the stage, and the "bumper balls" were the tips. A waiter would specifically remind them. At times like this, no one would be short of money. They wouldn't hesitate to spend more than twenty or fifty dollars just to experience something they'd never experienced before. It was absolutely worth it.

Sun Bo and his friends were completely dumbfounded. Their worldviews were shattered, and they felt as if they had wasted the previous twenty-odd years of their lives. They realized that the world was so wonderful and so different.

Not to mention them, even Yunshang was somewhat stunned by the performance.

It doesn't matter if I blush or feel embarrassed. My current understanding has been shattered. It's normal to be shocked and need a moment to process what I can't comprehend about the world that suddenly descended upon me.

Half a day later, after lighting a cigarette, Wang Tao was still asking, "Xiao Kai, is this true? It's not like the woman is pretending and deliberately lying to us, is it?"

Sun Bo couldn't hold back any longer. Normally, if his judgment as the eldest brother was inferior to others, he wouldn't admit it. But today, he couldn't help himself and asked Xu Kai, "I can believe those who are a little uglier, but I absolutely refuse to believe the one in the middle."

Just as Xu Kai was about to give them his answer, he heard a knock on the door and then saw the person who opened it. Here they come, the answer has arrived.

Sister Yun swayed her body, her high heels clicking on the ground, creating a uniquely feminine symphony of sounds. Many women wear high heels, their every step exuding grace and producing a melodious sound.

Upon entering the room and seeing so many people, I was taken aback.

"I ran into my cousins ​​downstairs."

Xu Kaiyi explained that Sister Yun greeted him with a warm and charming smile, and even told the waiter outside, "Bring us another batch, and have the bartender bring up a few more ladies' cocktails."

Sun Bo and his group were bewildered. They didn't recognize him, but judging from his demeanor, he was at least a manager here. They all had smiles on their faces, and even if they didn't know what to say, they knew they were just putting on a smiling show.

"Should I have someone take some photos for you?" Sister Yun was also quick to apply what she had learned to other situations. When Xu Kai saw the figure appearing at the door, he immediately understood that without smartphones, Sister Yun's quick thinking must have corresponding commercial value and user experience enhancement value.

"Ah!" Wang Tao couldn't help but exclaim.

The person wearing the magnificent gold gown, except for the exotic headdress, is the same person who performed on stage just ten minutes ago.

right?

He glanced uncertainly at someone on the other side.

The fragrance was overpowering, even somewhat pungent. Compared to real women, Xu Kai, at least, didn't particularly like strong perfume scents, even high-end ones. The way they enveloped and masked one's scent was quite unpleasant.

"Sawasdee ka!"

Sun Bo and the others were in a state of confusion, unsure of how to react. The person they had just been discussing, the person whose perception of them had been distorted by the spotlight, was now standing right in front of them, even greeting them. It was a strange feeling, leaving them unsure how to respond.

Everyone had a solo group photo taken. A dedicated person took the photos, and after Sister Yun gave her instructions, the photos were developed and given to everyone along with the negatives.

During this time, a new batch of dishes was served.

Today's events have already given Sun Bo and his friends enough of a shock. Their younger brother is no longer the little guy they used to know. Look at the status he has today, what can we say?

Drink to your heart's content, enjoy yourself to the fullest.

As midnight approached and the revelry began, instead of going downstairs, they danced around leaning against the railing. Yunshang loosened her ponytail, tossed her hair, and with her background in dance since childhood, just a few rhythmic movements were enough to give Sun Bo and the others another beating.

That wasn't all. As she left, Yunshang took the fully charged palm-sized device from the corner and put the SIM cards from her and Xu Kai's phones into it.

Not to mention Wang Tao no longer acted like the older brother, even Sun Bo lost his airs and came over to play with it. This thing costs nearly 20,000 yuan, enough for an average family to buy several major home appliances, but here it's just a mobile phone in your hand.

As Huo Gang, who was heavily intoxicated and reeking of alcohol, came downstairs to leave, patting his bald head after seeing off a group of guests, he smiled and approached Xu Kai. His drunken gestures made him even more relaxed and affectionate, and he even gave Xu Kai a hug: "Little brother, did you have fun today?"

Xu Kai was quite experienced in dealing with people in a drunken state. He responded enthusiastically, putting his arm around Huo Gang's neck and waist, saying, "Brother Gang, you can't do this again. How much money is this? You're trying to stop me from coming."

Huo Gang glared at him: "My little brother is here, so the hospitality should only get better and better. If it's anything less, isn't that a slap in the face to his older brother?"

Seeing the girls walking ahead, Huo Gang said with a smile, "Next time your sister-in-law isn't coming, I'll prepare a few special performances for my brother."

That lewd look in his eyes, the kind of lewdness that only men understand, was noticed by Sun Bo and Wang Tao, who were standing nearby. Their hearts tightened. "Damn it," they thought, "isn't this what happened tonight? Could it be…?"

"Okay, okay, Brother Gang, I'll be going now. I'll treat you to drinks another day."

The only solution is to go along with what people are saying in this state; otherwise, they can keep talking to you indefinitely.

"I'll buy you a drink, it's a deal."

A small idea tonight raised the atmosphere even higher. Huo Gang was drunk, but his mind wasn't completely muddled.

A brilliant idea.

That's money flowing in like water. Even now, some big clients have already booked their seats for tomorrow, which shows that the "Emperor" will make a fortune from this wave of popularity in the new year.

It was nearing midnight, past curfew, so Xu Kai took Yunshang home first, while Sun Bo and the others squeezed into the back seat.

As soon as Yunshang got out of the car and went upstairs, Wang Tao immediately switched to the passenger seat. After Xu Kai came out of the building and looked up at the building before returning to the car, Wang Tao, who had been holding back all night, could no longer contain himself.

"Cough cough..."

Xu Kai glared at him and coughed a few times. Wang Tao realized that it wasn't just his younger brother's girlfriend, but also his older brother's girlfriend.

After sending Cai Juan home, Wang Tao could no longer control himself. Not only him, but Sun Bo and Sun Xue were the same.

"The owner of the Emgrand Hotel is an uncle of my classmate. We knew each other before, and I gave him some advice. This hospitality is a way of expressing my gratitude, and the same goes for the phone. There's nothing complicated about it, so don't overthink it."

"What idea?"

Xu Kai smiled wryly: "What you saw tonight..."

"Holy crap!" Wang Tao nearly jumped out of the car, his head slamming into the roof. "Xiao Kai, you were the one who came up with the stage performance and drumming stuff!"

"Otherwise, why would they give you a phone and make arrangements? It's just an exchange of equal value."

"Tell me more, tell me more..."

Xu Kai: "Big brother, aren't you sleepy? Hurry up, where are we going? Home or Grandpa's house? We can talk about it tomorrow."

Sun Xue suddenly spoke up: "Let's go to your house. I'll sleep in your room, and you guys can sleep on the kang (heated brick bed)."

Xu Kai chuckled. When this woman gets gossipy, what does it have to do with men?

Taking out his phone, worried that it wouldn't be appropriate to call the landline directly while the elderly were asleep, Xu Kai first paged his mother. Less than a minute later, she called back using his maternal grandfather's phone number.

"Mom, tell my uncles and aunts that we ran into Brother Bo, Brother Tao, and Sister Xue while we were out playing. They're coming to our house tonight, and we'll go to Grandpa's house tomorrow morning."
