Huayu 2021: Isn’t he in the technology field?

Chapter 2 Encourage
At nine o'clock in the evening, the night was dark.

In a bar in Houhai, the lights are dim and soft, like a layer of gauze, gently covering the entire space.

The retro wooden floor is slightly mottled after years of wear and tear, and every trace seems to tell a story of the past.

There are art paintings hanging on the walls, with abstract lines and rich colors interweaving to create a dreamlike mood.

Jiang Qing and Yang Wei found a seat in a corner. There were several bottles of craft beer neatly placed on the table, as well as some exquisite snacks.

Holding the wine glass and shaking it gently, Jiang Qing took a sip from time to time, letting the wine slowly spread on the tip of his tongue, and a comfortable arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He hasn't been drinking much in recent years.

Especially in the past two years, there are only a handful of them.

He quite likes this feeling of being slightly tipsy, which makes him feel light and relaxed both physically and mentally.

Yang Wei leaned lazily on the back of the chair, swaying his body gently to the rhythm of the music, as if he had become one with the melody, his face full of enjoyment.

Around the two of them, there were several fashionable young female guests who frequently looked at Jiang Qing, and from time to time they leaned over and whispered a few words, with expressions of eagerness to try.

On the stage, the band is performing with great enthusiasm.

The lead singer's voice is hoarse and magnetic, and every note seems to be a confession bursting out from the depths of his soul, carrying stories and emotions.

The guitarist's fingers danced nimbly on the strings, and his skillful technique was dazzling.

The drummer's beating was full of power, and every heavy blow seemed to hit the hearts of everyone present, driving the rhythm of their heartbeats.

The song they sang was "Lover Missed" which was written by the five people.

Jiang Qing and Yang Wei drank leisurely while immersed in the melody of their songs. From time to time, they raised their hands towards each other without even looking at each other and clinked glasses in tacit understanding.

The other guests in the bar were also immersed in this wonderful atmosphere. Some nodded gently to the rhythm and stood on tiptoe, while others closed their eyes and listened quietly.

The air was filled with the faint aroma of wine and tobacco, and cheers and applause could be heard from time to time.

Outside the window, the surface of Houhai Lake was shimmering in the moonlight, and the waves were sparkling like a dream.

After the song "Lover Missed", the prelude of "Life is Like Summer Flowers" sounded immediately.

“Well, I really like this one!”

In the corner opposite Jiang Qing and the other person, a girl wrapped in a gray windbreaker couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise and clapped her hands happily after hearing the prelude.

She wore her hair in a low ponytail, and the flickering light in the bar shone on her bare face, adding a touch of dreaminess to her.

"Sister, please keep your voice down. What if someone recognizes you?"

Next to the girl, another girl wearing glasses approached her nervously and tried to persuade her.

"Oh~ It's okay, the lighting is so dim, and I'm not that famous, don't worry."

The girl turned around to look at her and grinned nonchalantly.

When she smiled, two small brackets immediately appeared on both sides of her cheeks, making her smile look extremely bright.

"Can……"

"Okay, let's listen to some music. It's a rare opportunity to relax. I won't have time for movie promotions next month."

The girl with a bright smile interrupted her unfinished words and patted her shoulder to comfort her.

Then he turned his head and focused his gaze again on the band.

Seeing this, the girl with glasses sighed helplessly and said nothing more.

She knew very well that her boss had been anxious recently because his new movie was going to be released next month.

the other side.

"Lao Jiang, the recording starts next week. Do you want to move in with me for the next few days?"

After taking another sip of wine, Yang Wei remembered the important matter and asked Jiang Qing.

"No, I'll just stay at the hotel. I won't go to your doghouse. I also need to occasionally video chat with Zhao Quan and others to handle some company matters, but you have to pay for the room."

Jiang Qing glanced at him and joked with a smile.

Because he had been drinking, his face was slightly flushed.

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

"It's a good thing that I didn't stay and join your team, otherwise I would have been used to death by you, and I wouldn't be able to be so leisurely like now." Yang Wei rolled his eyes, a look of relief on his face.

"Watch your words."

"And they are both very happy now and enjoying it."

Jiang Qing smiled and responded lightly.

"You used this harmless look to trick us all in the first place. You fooled the three of us around and made us run around in circles. You've been at our beck and call for four years in college."

"That's not all. Now Zhao Quan and the other two have to work for you."

"I've finally escaped your clutches. It makes me happy just thinking about it."

"Tsk~"

Yang Wei picked up the wine glass and took a sip, smacking his lips and expressing his deep emotion.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm just helping them realize their dreams."

Jiang Qing raised her eyelids slightly to look at him, and retorted with a smile.

Yang Wei secretly looked at his expression, his eyes rolled around, and he began to have some thoughts.

He knew that Jiang Qing didn't drink often and his alcohol tolerance was average.

Noticing that he was already a little tipsy, he began to persuade him to drink more actively.

Jiang Qing has a characteristic: he is particularly easy to talk to when he is drunk.

This was something they discovered accidentally during their years of getting along in college, and it was also the only weakness of Jiang Qing that everyone in their dormitory knew about.

So, under Yang Wei's deliberate instigation, the two of them toasted each other and drank for another half an hour.

At this time, Jiang Qing's eyes had become a little blurred.

Jiang Qing could sense that Yang Wei was intentionally trying to get him drunk, but he didn't care.

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he was in a good mood today, so he just let himself go.

"Everyone, next is our daily game session. Is there any guest who would like to come up and show off their singing skills?"

At this time, another song ended, and the band's lead singer's magnetic voice suddenly sounded, attracting the attention of everyone in the store.

Many guests looked eager to try, but perhaps because they were afraid of not performing well, no one responded for a while, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little cold.

"Old Jiang, you go ahead."

"I haven't heard you sing for a long time. Go up and show them how powerful you are."

Yang Wei's eyes lit up and he turned to Jiang Qing and encouraged him.

"Ok?"

Jiang Qing stared at him blankly, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"Sing!"

"Go on stage and sing!"

Seeing his current state, Yang Wei's expression became more excited and he reminded him again.

"it is good!"

After hearing it clearly, Jiang Qing responded readily, and then raised his hand high to the band's lead singer.

"Hey, we saw two guests raise their hands at the same time."

"Who will go first, please?"

Seeing that someone finally raised their hand, the band leader secretly breathed a sigh of relief and asked with a smile on his face.

Ok?
Jiang Qing was stunned for a moment, then looked in the direction the band's lead singer was looking.

At this moment, the other party was also turning to look at him.

Jiang Qing saw a pair of very bright eyes.
