"Singers from Our Mainland"

"Pacific Newcomer Zhou Ziheng Goes Crazy"

"The voice of migrant workers, Pacific New Tapes sings the voice of migrant workers"

"Pacific newcomers are making a big splash, their songs are on the radio, and the number of on-demand requests is comparable to that of Hong Kong and Taiwan songs"

……

It really exploded.

"Wandering Song" became a hit in Guangdong Province only a few days after it was aired on the radio before it was officially published.

Although it has not been officially published and released, there was suddenly a lot of information about this tape on the radio and in newspapers.

It was like there was an invisible big hand pushing me from behind.

Zhou Ziheng's most intuitive feeling about the popularity of his songs is that every time he turns on the radio, as long as it is a music channel, his songs are playing.

In addition, the Friendship Hotel was also greatly affected.

Ever since an employee heard Zhou Ziheng's songs on the radio and told the nightclub owner Wang Defa about it.

Wang Defa simply had someone hang a large banner at the entrance of the hotel.

It reads, "The singer of "Wandering Song" is in residence at this karaoke hall. See you at 7:30 every night."

The result of this banner was that the karaoke bar's business became unprecedentedly popular.

Every night, not only were the booths in the karaoke bar fully booked, but the dance floor was also packed with people.

There is no limit on the number of people in the karaoke bar. You can enter with a five-dollar ticket. After entering, if you want to sit in a booth or a private room, there is a different price.

If you cannot book a booth or the booth room is full, guests can dance freely on the spacious dance floor.

Wang Defa borrowed Zhou Ziheng's fame and made sure that all the booths in the Friendship Salon were booked out every night, and the ballroom was filled with people standing.

Indeed, Wang Defa's move not only made his karaoke bar earn a lot of money, but Zhou Ziheng himself also received a large amount of tips in the past few nights.

On the highest night, he even received more than 3,000 yuan in tips.

This directly led to a huge explosion in his income.

However, Zhou Ziheng was very dissatisfied with Wang Defa's actions.

First of all, Wang Defa did not discuss with him the matter of using him to recruit business for the nightclub.

When Zhou Ziheng found out, a huge banner had already been hung at the entrance of the Friendship Hotel.

Moreover, Wang Defa stubbornly changed his performance time from only three songs per night to one hour.

That means he has to sing on the stage for an hour every night.

It doesn't matter if it happens once or twice, but if it happens every day, it will definitely be a huge torture for the singer's body.

After singing for only three consecutive nights, Zhou Ziheng's voice began to become hoarse.

What made Zhou Ziheng even more angry was that Wang Defa only paid him 300 yuan as an appearance fee for singing for an hour every night.

According to Wang Defa, you have received enough tips, so I won’t give you any more appearance fee.

Zhou Ziheng also knew why Wang Defa was like this.

This is because Wang Defa still treats and views him from the same perspective as before.

I still think he is the resident singer in that nightclub.

They did not realize that Zhou Ziheng was no longer just a resident singer because of the popularity of his tape "Wandering Song".

Singer!

This is how singers are called in this era.

It means a singing star.

There is a difference between a singer and a pop star.

Singer, anyone who sings can be called a singer, just like when Zhou Ziheng was a wandering singer, he also called himself a singer.

But singers are different. They are singers who already have a certain influence and a certain number of fans.

Wang Defa apparently didn't realize that Zhou Ziheng was rapidly transforming into a singing star, and still treated him as a resident singer.

Therefore, whether it was to use his fame to make profits for the nightclub, or to directly arrange for him to sing for an hour every night, he did not discuss it with Zhou Ziheng, but decided directly.

Wang Defa's actions, coupled with the fact that "Wandering Song" was about to be published.

This made Zhou Ziheng make a decision after careful consideration.

He decided to resign. That morning, after discussing with Li Chunbo, Zhou Ziheng found the boss Wang Defa who was checking the accounts at the Friendship Hotel.

"Hey! Ziheng is here, come and sit down!"

Although he still treated Zhou Ziheng as a resident singer in his nightclub, Wang Defa's attitude towards Zhou Ziheng had indeed changed.

In the past, when he saw Zhou Ziheng, he would turn his nose up at you when talking to you, as if to say, "I am your boss, you have to respect me."

But now, after seeing Zhou Ziheng, not only did he stop looking down on him, but he also had a big smile on his face.

"Boss, I have something to discuss with you!"

Zhou Ziheng sat down on the sofa opposite him.

"You tell me! You are the trump card of our karaoke bar now, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly!"

Wang Defa acted as if I was easy to talk to.

“Look, boss, you know my tape is very popular on the radio recently.

Many listeners liked this tape so much that they called the radio station and asked Pacific to release it earlier.

After discussing with Pacific, I decided to release the tape in advance.

You also know that after the release of the tape, I will definitely have a lot of things to do. In order to have time to deal with these things, after careful consideration, I decided to resign and focus on the tape.

Of course, Friendship Salon is my first job after coming to Guangzhou, and I still have feelings for this place. If the karaoke bar needs me in the future, please feel free to ask."

"Resign! You want to resign?"

After hearing Zhou Ziheng's words, Wang Defa's smiling face quickly turned gloomy.

"Xiao Zhou, you said it yourself, the karaoke bar took you in. Now that you've become rich, are you just going to just walk away like that?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng frowned.

What he said just now was actually just a way of speaking.

Indeed, after he came to Guangzhou, he relied on the income from the nightclub to make a living.

But to describe it as sheltering is obviously not appropriate.

The original body didn't have nowhere to go at the beginning.

He applied for jobs in three nightclubs at that time.

Two of them agreed to let him be a resident singer.

In the end, he just considered that the Friendship Salon was close to the train station and had better business, so he came to the Friendship Salon as a resident singer.

At the end of the day, it's just a job.

Everyone gets what they need. Friendship Salon values ​​the original person's good looks and singing voice, which can attract customers to the nightclub.

The original owner used the karaoke bar as a platform to make money to pay off his debts.

No matter how normal the relationship was, when it came to Wang Defa, it became like the nightclub taking him in, as if he could not survive without the nightclub.

This really makes people feel uncomfortable.

However, Zhou Ziheng did not intend to argue with Wang Defa about this. He said:

"There are so many things to do with the tape, I really can't take care of the cabaret."

Wang Defa seemed not to hear the determination in Zhou Ziheng's words. He lifted up his clothes in front of his chest and said to Zhou Ziheng, "Xiao Zhou, do you know how you got this scar?"

Wang Defa touched the long scar on his stomach and said, "This was left by a sworn brother of mine. This knife almost killed me.

However, I was lucky and survived.

As for him..."

Wang Defa smiled and said, "He should be ten years old now. Maybe, maybe he can play in the mud."

Hearing this, Zhou Ziheng fell silent.

What the hell.

This guy showed him his scar and talked to him about becoming sworn brothers.

What's going on? The sworn brother is now ten years old. Doesn't this mean that the other party is dead?
This is a threat!

A naked threat.

He was telling Zhou Ziheng that he had power and could do anything.

If Zhou Ziheng mentions resignation again, he will kill him.
