Chapter 56 It's definitely because of love! (Seeking monthly votes)

How to reject a suitor from someone of the opposite sex?

I need to borrow money!

Yan Siyuan wasn't pursuing Su Chao, so he didn't understand why he had to ask for money.

Most importantly, why is Su Chao short of money?
"Your income is higher than mine, isn't it enough for you to spend?"

Despite Yan Siyuan's high position and power in the karaoke bar.

But in reality, his monthly salary is only eight thousand yuan. If it weren't for the small percentage of revenue he receives, he probably wouldn't even earn as much as a typical resident singer.

Well, this doesn't include Su Chao.

Su Chao is no ordinary resident singer; his income far surpasses that of Wu Xiubo.

Today is Su Chao's fourth time visiting the karaoke bar.

The first time they took 5,000 yuan, the second time they took 1,200 yuan, and the third time they took 1,100 yuan...

They're all in the thousands.

Today he offered one-on-one service again, and he sent several flower baskets. His income will definitely not be less than two thousand yuan.

Based on this calculation, Su Chao's monthly income would be over 50,000.

When Su Chao was negotiating the contract with Chen Jiantian, Chen Jiantian also gave him a settlement allowance of 5,000 yuan.

It was given to me in front of Yan Siyuan.

"I...I actually have a girl I really like, but she has a terminal illness..."

Su Chao blinked, and his manhood instantly became wet.

"You're only eighteen, you're already in a relationship!"

Yan Siyuan was somewhat skeptical of the veracity of Su Chao's words.

"We were childhood sweethearts, growing up together since we were little."

Su Chao quickly patched the problem.

"What illness did she have? Why didn't we bring her to the capital? Our medical conditions are better here."

Yan Siyuan was skeptical.

“Her parents took her to Shanghai for treatment. Otherwise, why would I work so hard to earn money? Look at me, I've earned so much money, but have you ever seen me buy a mobile phone? The pager I bought was a Hong Kong import, and the bicycle I ride was borrowed…”

Although he was indeed bluffing, he was a good boy.

Be thrifty and frugal!

"Okay, okay, how much do you want to borrow?"

Yan Siyuan used his years of experience and his brilliant mind to analyze the situation carefully and found that Su Chao's words were indeed very reasonable.

These are the people who sing at the bar.

Huang Bo, Zhou Xun, and Yang Kun—one is ugly, the other is uncooperative—so they barely manage to make ends meet.

However, both Wu Xiubo and Sha Baoliang wore expensive watches, carried mobile phones, and rode at least Honda motorcycles.

What made Su Chao, an eighteen-year-old, resist the temptation of high consumption?

That must be because of love!

"Ten... twenty thousand, brother. You also have a family to support. I'll lend you twenty thousand and pay you back by the end of next month."

Su Chao started with a score of ten, almost suffocating Yan Siyuan.

Fortunately, he changed his mind and quoted 20,000.

Twenty thousand is roughly Yan Siyuan's income for more than a month.

It was barely within his acceptable range.

Yan Siyuan obtained an advance of 20,000 yuan from the finance department and counted it out before giving it to Su Chao.

Of course, an IOU is required.

Su Chao's friendship with Yan Siyuan is not yet as strong as Duan Ming's.

"Would you... perhaps go and entertain guests... that pays more?"

Yan Siyuan looked at Su Chao.

Damn, this guy is really handsome; a lot of rich women have come to see him.

He instantly defeated Wu Xiubo at his peak.

When Wu Xiubo first arrived in Casablanca, he was fawned over by a bunch of women. They would often send him flowers out of spite, and he could earn more than a thousand dollars a night.

Moreover, when they stepped off the stage, a top female supporter would be waiting for them, and they would walk off in pairs.

It's not impossible that Su Chao might sacrifice himself for love.

As long as the offer is generous, Sister Hong will definitely pack up Su Chao and send him away.

"I'm not that kind of person!"

Su Chao said seriously, "Brother, we can't go down the path of crime!"

"Damn, you should go sing karaoke already."

Yan Siyuan waved his hand. He had lost two months' salary in an instant, and he needed to think about how to explain it to his wife.

You can't just change wives for Su Chao, can you?

When Su Chao arrived at the karaoke bar, Xu Wei had already left.

When Su Chao went to Yan Siyuan's office, he left the karaoke bar and asked Huang Bo to tell Su Chao that he thanked him for the hospitality and would like to visit him again when he had the chance.

Su Chao continued to pull customers up to sing.

"Brother, how did your beard grow so long? It's so imposing! What song should we sing today? A Cantonese song, something a bit more imposing... 'A Man Should Be Self-Reliant,' okay!"

While the sound engineer was preparing, Su Chao didn't forget to interact with him.

"Brother, you're in the liquor business? I love drinking the most. If we have a chance, we should have some together... We absolutely have to drink your liquor. When your brand becomes number one in the country, don't forget to ask me to be your spokesperson and shoot your commercials."

It's number one in the country, for crying out loud.

The poor bearded man was so excited his face was flushed. Actually, he just owned a small winery in the county town.

He didn't even dare to drink the liquor he mixed himself.

I originally only planned to pay fifty for the song request and send two flowers.

However, Su Chao's service was just too good.

This man directly sent a flower basket worth 300 yuan, which is equivalent to a month's salary for an average person.

The other resident singers were envious of Su Chao's actions.

Sha Baoliang then invited an older brother to come on stage and sing a duet with him.

Embarrassingly, the song my older brother chose was a Yunnan folk tune.

He can't sing at all.

After much effort, I managed to bring my older brother back to the right path and persuaded him to sing a popular song from the karaoke playlist with me.

As a result, the two sang completely different things.

In addition, there was no communication throughout the entire process.

The eldest brother had zero experience, and other guests also found it offensive.

When he tried again, he was told to get out of there.

It's like trying to draw a tiger but ending up with a dog instead.

It's so embarrassing.

Ultimately, it comes down to a lack of adaptability and control over the situation.

Wu Xiubo was rather honest.

He has been dieting for the past few days.

Su Chao's arrival made him feel very threatened.

When only Sha Bao Liang was around, although some customers would be taken away, it would not shake his status as the top host in the karaoke bar.

Su Chao is different now.

This guy is popular with men, women, young and old; he didn't even leave him a drop of soup.

He used to earn over a thousand yuan a day, or at least three to five hundred yuan, but now he's lucky if he earns two hundred yuan a night.

He suffered the biggest loss.

"Brothers and sisters, it's almost midnight, I'm about to get off work. I'll give you a song for free at the end, 'A Lang's Love Song'."

Su Chao paused, then added:
“I’ve written another song, and I’m currently planning to record the instrumental version. Once it’s finished, I want to share it with my brothers and sisters in Casablanca as soon as possible. You are my only family, the only family I want to share this with…”

The karaoke room erupted in cheers.

After writing and recording a new song, I don't sell it or use it as a stepping stone to sign with a record company.

I sang it for my older brothers and sisters right away!
Ask the older brothers and sisters present, what reason would they have not to be moved?

Sha Baoliang, Wu Xiubo, and the others suddenly felt dizzy.

Another new song!
Are you trying to kill us all?

"On this long, windswept road, you drift alone / I am still searching for your fleeting trace, like a shooting star..."

The Mandarin version of "Ah Lang's Love Song" is Lo Ta-yu's "Love Song 1990". Sam Hui rewrote the lyrics and sang this Cantonese version.

They said they would sing for everyone for free, but actually, free things are the most expensive.

The older siblings, who were deeply moved by Su Chao, would never allow their younger brother to suffer any injustice.

Sincerity is the ultimate skill!

For just this last song, Su Chao received more than a dozen flowers and four flower baskets.

She outshone all the other resident singers.

On the way back, Huang Bo asked a question that he was very curious about.

"Brother Chao, since singing is so lucrative, why do you still run training classes?"

Zhou Xun was also very curious.

She even felt that Su Chao's training classes were a thankless and exhausting task, and that he would cause trouble if students failed the exams.

"First of all, running training classes doesn't prevent me from making money by singing."

Secondly, the karaoke industry doesn't have many more good years left. If you do a closer look, you'll find that the karaoke business is getting harder and harder to run now.

When the bosses can't make any money, how can they expect to have a good life?

Of course, singing is the most important thing right now.

Becoming famous as a singer helps me access other resources; for example, someone might offer me a leading role because of my singing fame.

Su Chao gave an explanation.

This is when you're really open and honest.

He would not reveal secrets to ordinary people.

"Pfft, someone would cast you as the male lead just because you sing well?"

Zhou Xun was amused.

"It's about time I got you to film a music video."

Huang Bo wasn't mocking Su Chao; he just thought the reason was utterly absurd.

“Someone actually asked me to shoot a music video, Jiang Shan’s ‘Water Town in Dreams’.”

Su Chao was furious.
