I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 220 "If they follow professional ethics, we should respect their labor."

"Why, cousin?" Bi Huanhuan asked.

"It's fake, it's sinister," Du Juan said.

"Have you been in contact with this before?"

"No, it just didn't feel right to me."

Fang Qingye didn't speak. He felt the same way. Whether before or after his rebirth, he didn't understand this person.

It's not a matter of liking or disliking; in this world, who isn't fake?
But just now, seeing Li Le earnestly performing Mass, a scene from the movie "All or Nothing" that aired in later years suddenly flashed through my mind, showing Wang Chuanjun playing a fraud ringleader praying while making a throat-slitting gesture.

Of course, this is just my own wild imagination.

Everyone chatted and laughed as they left the church, then hailed two taxis and headed straight for Royal No. 7.

Royal Flag is located at the intersection of Wenhua Road and Baiyun Road. It is a very popular karaoke bar in Nanxin County. When Fang Qingye and his group arrived, a waiter came over as soon as they entered the karaoke bar and said to Song Dahai very politely, "Young Master Song, please follow me."

Song Dahai used to be a regular here, so it wasn't surprising that the waiter recognized him. The group followed the waiter upstairs.

Along the way, I encountered several young women with heavy makeup and revealing clothes, the so-called "princesses." However, none of them were locals; like the tea girls by Nanxin Lake, they were all from out of town.

Upon entering a private room on the third floor, we heard the waiter say:

"Young Master Song, Mr. Li just called. Your meal today, along with Mr. Fang, Mr. Liu, and the three ladies, is all on the house. What would you like? A hostess?"

"We don't want any of those," Song Dahai said hurriedly. "Just a fruit platter, three bottles of orange juice, and a case of Kingway beer. Even though your boss, Mr. Li, is treating, we can't accept his hospitality."

The waiter quickly brought out fruit platters, drinks, and beer, and everyone grabbed microphones and started singing.

Fang Qingye doesn't really like singing. She sings occasionally, mainly to drink beer and chat with Liu Dong and Song Dahai. The three girls like it a lot, especially Du Juan, who is a karaoke hog, probably because she's a teacher.

The singing was not bad; at least it wasn't off-key.

Half an hour later, Li Le pushed open the door and came in. He first congratulated Liu Dong, then walked around with a beer glass in his hand, and said to Song Dahai, "Dahai, you and your friends have fun. I'm going to look around. If you need anything, just ask the waiter."

"Okay, you go ahead and do your thing."

After Li Le left, Song Dahai said to Fang Qingye and Liu Dong, "I heard that Li Le's father, Li Renyi, handed over the management of the two karaoke bars to Li Le, and the business is much better than before."

"Moreover, the two karaoke bars each have their own characteristics. This one is more frequented by young people and small business owners, so it's more lively. The one at Da Shi Jie is more popular with big bosses and some leaders, and the people there aren't as diverse as here."

"I heard that the Great World operates on a membership system?" Liu Dong asked.

"Yes, of course the prices are higher than here. The princesses there are absolutely top-notch." Song Dahai started rambling on again, but suddenly saw Chen Meimei, who was singing, turn around and look at him, so he quickly shut up.

After everyone sang for a while, a man's shouts and curses suddenly came from outside the private room, mixed with the crying of a young woman. The sound grew louder and louder, arousing the curiosity of the three girls who were singing. Du Juan was about to open the door and go out.

"Du Juan, don't go out!" Fang Qingye quickly called out to stop her.

"That's right, sing your songs happily, I'm going out to take a look." After saying that, Song Dahai strode out of the room.

Not long after, the noise outside subsided, and Song Dahai returned to the private room, saying to everyone, "Just now, a guest got drunk and started causing trouble, assaulting the hostess. He was kicked out by security."

Liu Dong was somewhat surprised: "This Li Le actually chased away the guests?"

"That's right. In Li Le's words, being a princess has been a profession since ancient times. People follow professional ethics, so we should respect their work."

"I didn't expect Li Le to have such a set of tricks up his sleeve," Liu Dong said with a smile.

"Yeah, anyway, this guy can be quite interesting sometimes."

Bi Huanhuan seemed a little uncomfortable in this environment, so she urged, "Liu Dong, let's go back?" "You guys?" Liu Dong looked at Fang Qingye and Song Dahai with a questioning gaze.

"Let's go back." Fang Qingye had long disliked the atmosphere here and preferred to go home and play a couple of rounds of Warcraft on her computer.

Song Dahai naturally wouldn't say anything.

The group then left the private room and walked outside, where they saw Li Le.

"Dahai, General Manager Fang, Section Chief Liu, are you done playing?" Li Le called out.

"I have to go to work tomorrow," Song Dahai replied.

“That’s true, you have to be punctual for work. Come visit when you have time,” Li Le said.

"okay."

Everyone followed Song Dahai down the stairs. Fang Qingye had just reached the bottom of the stairs when she suddenly heard Li Le behind her call out, "President Fang, please wait a moment."

Fang Qingye turned around and saw Li Le walking over, taking a gleaming gold card out of his suit pocket and handing it to him.

"Mr. Fang, this is a VIP card for the Great World area. It offers a 12% discount. You are welcome to come or bring your friends."

"Mr. Li, you're too kind. I rarely come to these kinds of places," Fang Qingye politely declined.

"I know you like fishing and drinking tea. It's fine to go sing karaoke occasionally. Here, consider it a way of making friends."

Fang Qingye didn't stand on ceremony any longer. "Thank you then."

"Okay, come over and visit when you have time."

Fang Qingye went downstairs and caught up with Song Dahai and the others; they had already arrived outside the karaoke bar.

"Oh dear, there's someone lying here!" Du Juan suddenly exclaimed, pointing to a dark figure under a tree near the building not far away.

Song Dahai hurried over to take a look: "It's that troublemaker from earlier. Don't worry about him, let's go."

"Isn't the security guard afraid of the police seeing this? There's a police station right ahead." Du Juan looked westward.

"What's the big deal? Don't you know a few people in the police force if you're in the entertainment industry?" Song Dahai gave him a "you're making a fuss over nothing" look.

"But it's so cold. Won't something happen?" Du Juan was still a little worried.

Hearing this, Song Dahai walked over and kicked the man in the butt: "Dude, wake up, or you'll catch a cold!"

The man lying on the ground groaned twice, struggled to his feet, and staggered away.

"Okay, let's go."

Everyone went home. Liu Dong was going to take Bi Huanhuan and Du Juan home, while Fang Qingye, Song Dahai, and Chen Meimei were going in the same direction.

The three of them hailed a taxi. In the car, Song Dahai said to Fang Qingye, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Yezi, did Li Le stop you earlier to give you a membership card for the Grand World shopping mall?"

“Yes, he said he could get an 82% discount on purchases.” Fang Qingye didn’t hide anything.

"Liu Dong is still a bit short of potential, so Li Le didn't give him one," Song Dahai said. "I'll give you an 88% discount card, not bad. Of course, there are also 80% off cards, and the highest discount is 66% off."

"What discount did you get?" Fang Qingye glanced at Song Dahai in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

"Me? No, I wouldn't take it if he gave it to me!" Song Dahai said, glancing guiltily at Chen Meimei beside him.
