Chapter 432 Special Mission [Star of Tomorrow]!
The meal lasted from about nine to ten o'clock in the evening.
In Shishi, almost all restaurants are closed at ten o'clock in the evening.
But in a big city like Kyoto, the colorful nightlife at this time has just begun.
After dinner, Zhao Xin suggested going to the bar to have some more fun.
Seeing Zhao Xin's enthusiasm, Luo Yanning and Wu Mingshi had no choice but to do as they pleased.
The three of them have only been to Kyoto a limited number of times. They have been to Tiananmen, the Forbidden City, and the Badaling Great Wall, among other places.
The three of them were also very curious about the legendary Sanlitun Bar Street.
It would be a good idea to take this opportunity to go over and have some fun.
I picked up the car at the Pangu Grand View underground parking lot.
Wu Mingshi followed Zhao Xin for about 20 minutes, and two Mercedes-Benz 200s drove into the underground parking lot of a store near Sanlitun that was still open.
After parking the car, the four of them walked out of the parking lot and walked for about five minutes before arriving at their destination, Sanlitun Bar Street.
"I'll go, after all, it's a big city, and there are so many people at this late hour! There's no one on the street like us right now."
Wu Mingshi looked at the bustling bar street and couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Qian also said with a smile: "The nightlife in big cities is much richer than that in small towns like ours. People living here must have a very fulfilling life."
Zhao Xin said with a smile: "Big cities are as good as big cities, and small towns are as good as small towns.
Why is there so much nightlife in big cities? Isn’t it because the people living here are too busy and stressed that they only need entertainment when they need it? "
Luo Yanning echoed: "It's not just big cities, but also small towns, the whole country and even the world.
Society is developing and the times are progressing, and people are increasingly unable to keep up with the times.
Life is getting better and better, but the longer we live, the more tired we become. "
Zhao Xin said with a smile: "That's the truth. As the saying goes, this is the best of times, and it is also the worst of times! We don't have to think too much. Today we have wine, today we are drunk, and tomorrow we will worry about tomorrow. Be sad!”
Zhang Qian smiled and joked: "You, a little rich woman who lives in a villa and drives a Mercedes-Benz, have nothing to worry about!
For rich people like you and Luo Zi, this is the best time!
You can have wine today and get drunk today! Even drunkenly every day!
For the lower class people like me and your brother-in-law,
This era when everything is going up but wages are not going up is the worst era.
We are worried about today and worried about tomorrow, and we are worried about the car loan and the mortgage payment. "
"Okay, okay, don't cry about poverty here."
Luo Yanning said ruthlessly: "Your fat guy earns 100,000 yuan a month, which is more than 99% of the people in the world. Don't be dissatisfied."
"Yeah! Brother-in-law, you can! After all, you are also earning a million dollars a year!"
Zhao Xin really didn't expect that the humble Wu Mingshi could earn so much in a month.
With an annual income of one million, even in a place like Kyoto, he is considered the elite among the elite!
Wu Mingshi smiled modestly and said: "What kind of gold collar? I am just a wage earner working for you Brother Yan Ning. I work hard every day to earn some hard-earned money. Most of it belongs to your brother Yan Ning."
Zhao Xin asked curiously: "Does my brother-in-law also work in Brother Jin Ning's scenic spot?"
"No, your brother Jin Ning and I jointly opened a printing factory..."
Wu Mingshi briefly talked about the printing shop he and Luo Yanning jointly opened.
The four of them walked and chatted, and walked for almost ten minutes before arriving at the destination of the trip, Moyou Bar.
"This is a Qingdao bar. The environment is very nice and elegant. It's not as noisy as a high bar."
“Occasionally, it’s a pleasure to invite a few friends over to have a drink, listen to music, and chat.”
"The meaning of Moyou Bar is to turn from strangers into friends."
"It is said that the proprietress and the owner of this bar met here. They turned from strangers to friends, then to boyfriend and girlfriend, and finally entered the palace of marriage hand in hand."
Zhao Xin saw that he was a regular customer of this bar. While introducing the story of this bar, he led Luo Yanning and others into the bar.
There is no manic DJ dance music, nor flashing colorful lights. The lights in the bar are slightly dim, but they do not affect the line of sight, and the brightness is just right.
A thin female voice with long shawl hair was holding a guitar with her head lowered and playing and singing on a small stage in the bar.
"It's over, it seems like everything has been said..."
"Always sitting facing each other in silence, with the darkness in their eyes."
"Emotions are paranoid. The more you love, the more paranoid you become..."
"I don't believe what I see. I insist that the cracks are just wrinkles."
"Why does the hot thing turn cold first, and the slow-heating thing can't stop boiling?"
"Look at the time, it will run as fast as it wants, and it will change at will..."
"People who are slow and cold will torture themselves..."
With the melodious guitar sound and the girl's crisp and sweet singing voice, "Slow Heat" has to be given a thumbs up even if it's the original singer.
"Huh? Luo Zi, this voice..."
After Zhang Qian heard the female singer's voice, she looked at Luo Yanning, who was frowning slightly, in surprise.
"What riddles are you two doing here?"
Wu Mingshi asked with a puzzled look on his face after seeing the expressions of Zhang Qian and Luo Yanning.
Zhao Xin also asked curiously: "What's wrong, Sister Qian? Brother Xuning? Do you know this singer? It seems that she is new here. I have never seen her before, nor have I heard her sing."
"Nothing, let's find a place to sit first." Luo Xuning withdrew his gaze from the girl on the small stage, and his expression returned to normal.
Luo Xuning really didn't expect to meet his half-sister Xu Kejing in such a place!
"Isn't she teaching in Luojiazhuang Primary School? Why did she come to Kyoto? Why is she singing in a bar? Does she need money or what?"
Although he pretended that nothing happened on the surface, Luo Xuning had already had a hundred thousand questions in his mind. He really couldn't figure out why Xu Kejing appeared in such a place.
"Oh." Zhao Xin saw that Luo Xuning didn't want to say more, so she was also very tactful and stopped asking.
"Sister Xin is here! It's been a long time since we last met. You must be very busy recently! Are these your friends?"
As soon as Zhao Xin finished speaking, a girl wearing a white shirt and a black vest with a badge on her chest came forward and greeted her with a smile.
The girl's eyes swept over Zhang Qian and Wu Mingshi, and stayed on Luo Xuning for a longer time.
"Xiao Na, this is my sister, this is my brother-in-law, and this is my brother Xuning. The three of them are my most important guests."
Zhao Xin first introduced Luo Xuning and others, and then said to the girl seriously:
"Ask your best bartender to mix me three glasses of your treasures, and then a glass of pure fruit juice, without alcohol, because my sister is pregnant and can't drink."
"Okay, Sister Xin! I'll arrange it for you right away! Please come and sit here first."
The girl agreed with a smile, made a gesture to Zhao Xin to invite them, and arranged for the four people to sit in an empty seat first.
Zhao Xin arranged for Luo Shuning and the other two to sit down and then followed the girl to pay the bill. Only Luo Shuning, Wu Mingshi and Zhang Qian were left at the table.
Zhang Qian looked up at Luo Shuning and asked him, "Luozi, do you want to say hello to Xiaojing? Call her over to chat?"
[To be honest, I have been using Reading to catch up recently, switching sources, with many reading tones, and both Android and Apple are available. ]
When Xu Kejing was in college, she practiced Wing Chun for a while in Zhang Qian's martial arts gym, and the two of them have always had a good relationship.
Their relationship is similar to that of Zhang Qian and Zhao Xin now, and they are also good sisters.
"Oh my god! What are you two doing? The one singing is your sister!"
After hearing Zhang Qian's words, Wu Mingshi turned his head to look at the stage. After such an obvious hint, he also saw who the girl on the stage was, Xu Kejing!
"Forget it, let's not disturb her." Luo Xuning said he would not disturb her, but in fact, he still cared about his sister.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for triggering the special task [Star of Tomorrow]! The task is currently in the first stage. ]
[The first stage of the Star of Tomorrow task content: Sign Xu Kejing to your company. ]
As soon as Luo Xuning finished speaking, the system interface suddenly popped up automatically, and two prompt messages appeared on it.
"Again... a special task was triggered?" Luo Xuning was very surprised when he saw the message popped up in the system information box.
This morning, when I met Zhao Yunlong, I just triggered a special task of [Martial Arts Authenticity].
In the evening, another special task of [Star of Tomorrow] was triggered!
Two special tasks were triggered in one day. This trip to Kyoto was really rewarding!
Originally, he thought he was just accompanying Zhang Jinwu to do things this time, but he didn't expect that he became the biggest winner of this trip!
"It's just that the task content of this rising star..."
Luo Shuning fixed his eyes on the description of the task content:
[The first stage of the rising star task content: sign Xu Kejing to your company. 】
"Signing Xu Kejing to our company is easy to understand."
"What does this first stage mean? Does it mean that there are other stages later?"
Luo Shuning frowned slightly and looked at the two system prompts and fell into deep thought. It was the first time he received such a staged task.
"Luo Zi? Luo Zi? What are you thinking about?"
Zhang Qian saw that Luo Shuning began to lose his mind while chatting, and waved her hand in front of him.
"Oh, nothing." Luo Shuning came back to his mind after hearing Zhang Qian's greeting.
Just at this time, Xu Kejing sang the ending of a song.
"People who are slow to cool down will torture themselves..."
"Impulsive people never hear requests to stay..."
"The world is so big that it's hard for you not to travel..."
"Romance makes you gentle, but also makes you the most tearful..."
After singing "Slowly Cool Down", there was sparse applause in the bar, as well as a few cheers and calls for another one.
This song "Slowly Cool Down" matches Xu Kejing's voice very well, coupled with her excellent singing skills and her understanding and emotional investment in this song, she sang it with a different flavor from the original singer.
This song has both skills and emotions, and the level is quite high.
When Xu Kejing finished singing a song and took a break, Zhao Xin just came back after paying the bill and asked the three people with a smile:
"Sister Qian, brother-in-law, brother Ning, do you have any songs you want to hear?
I'll go order a few songs to support this new beautiful singer."
Luo Ning's eyes lit up and asked: "How much does it cost to order a song? How much can the singer get?"
Zhao Xin said: "For a new singer like this who is not famous, 100 yuan per song, she can get about half of it."
"So little." Luo Shuning felt that this share price was really not high.
Zhao Xin smiled and said: "If Brother Shuning likes this singer, you can give her a reward. Maybe the beautiful girl will be moved and marry you."
Luo Shuning: "..."
Zhang Qian: "..."
Wu Mingshi: "..."
After Zhao Xin finished speaking, the expressions on the faces of Luo Shuning and the other two became extremely strange.
"I, did I say something wrong..."
Zhao Xin's heart skipped a beat when he saw the expressions of the three people, and the expression on his face became nervous.
Luo Shuning smiled and said, "It's nothing. Ignorance is not to blame. The girl who sang just now is my sister. We are a reconstituted family."
"Ah? So... I'm sorry, Brother Shuning, I really didn't know you had this relationship! Oh, my broken mouth!"
After hearing what Luo Shuning said, Zhao Xin twisted her mouth with annoyance and apologized to him sincerely.
Luo Shuning smiled and said, "It's okay. I said ignorance is not to blame. You didn't mean it."
Zhao Xin said sincerely, "How about I invite her to have a few drinks, as an apology to Brother Shuning and that girl."
Luo Shuning waved his hand and said, "No, she doesn't drink, so don't bother her."
"Oh..." Zhao Xin saw that Luo Shuning didn't sound angry, and she finally put her heart back in her stomach.
As for ordering songs and giving rewards... Luo Shuning just thought about it and gave up.
If they ordered songs and gave tips, Xu Kejing would definitely see them and expose their whereabouts.
Xu Kejing came to the bar in Kyoto to sing without telling anyone, probably because she didn't want to be known by acquaintances, or didn't want to be seen.
Meeting here unexpectedly today was purely an accident.
In this situation, Luo Xunning felt that it was better not to meet, lest she would feel embarrassed or ashamed.
While the few people were talking, a waiter in a white shirt and black vest came over with a tray.
"Excuse me, the drinks you ordered are ready, I wish you all a good time."
After the waiter greeted them, he put the three high-foot glasses and a large glass of bright red watermelon juice on the small table in front of them.
Zhao Xin sat next to Zhang Qian and called Luo Shuning and Wu Mingshi, saying, "Brother Shuning, brother-in-law, how do you taste this wine?
This is a must-order wine every time I come here. It is also a unique wine of this bar. It tastes great!"
"Okay, I'll try it." Luo Shuning didn't hesitate to be polite with Zhao Xin. He took a sip of the wine.
As soon as he took a sip, he felt a burning sensation in his mouth, as if he had swallowed a ball of fire.
The burning sensation only lasted for three seconds and then magically disappeared. The taste became soft.
Then there was another burst of mellow fragrance.
This was the first time Luo Shuning drank this kind of blended wine. He felt very novel.
After taking a sip of the wine, Luo Shuning was about to say something when he suddenly heard a noise coming from the direction of the small stage.
