Chapter 231 Colleagues
Friday night.
Lu Xingchen, Lin Huanxi, Xu Ke and others finally completed the core framework. Lin Huanxi strongly requested that they go out for a big meal after working overtime for several weeks.
Lu Xingchen readily agreed and let them choose the place and she would treat them.
After Lin Huanxi decided on a place to eat, he asked, "Brother Chen, do you want to invite Mr. Li?"
In addition to Lin Huanxi and Xu Ke, there are other people. Lu Xingchen was afraid that they would feel uncomfortable, so she really didn't think of inviting President Li of Zhencheng to the company dinner. She looked at the others and said, "I'll listen to what everyone says."
After everyone agreed, she called Li Zhen and asked, "Let's go to dinner, do you want to join us?"
"Jiang Haicheng and I are still in the factory, so we can't make it in time."
"Then next time."
She was about to hang up when Li Zhen asked, "Is the architecture out?"
"Well, starting next week, the first project will be distributed normally."
"Sooner than I expected."
"Otherwise, would our extra shifts be in vain?" Lu Xingchen said with a faint smile, "Go and get busy, and we'll contact you later."
The two ended the call, and Lu Xingchen said to Lin Huanxi and the others, "Boss Li hasn't finished his work yet, we'll go by ourselves."
Everyone packed up their things, and Lu Xingchen walked over to Zhao Wenjing and said, "Has Xu Nanhe eaten yet? Call him out."
Zhao Wenjing said bluntly: "Okay, he is also working overtime, I will call him up."
They chose a pub that was in a secluded location but did a lot of business. It happened that a local band was performing in the pub, which made the atmosphere even more lively.
Lin Huanxi and Zhao Wenjing were both good at creating atmosphere. The people at their table often became the focus of attention of the guests and even became the leading guests who led the audience around them to sing along.
Lu Xingchen and Xu Ke sat close to each other, and neither of them talked much, especially Xu Ke. Apart from talking to her about work in the middle, he simply picked up his phone and played mobile games when Lin Huanxi and the others were making noise.
Lu Xingchen still joined in the fun with everyone, but he wasn't as noisy and would occasionally lower his head to reply to work messages.
After singing "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" on the stage, she was looking down at her phone to reply to work questions when she was enveloped by a spotlight. She looked up, not knowing what was going on.
"Our lights picked out that lucky spectator in the corner!"
Lin Huanxi, Zhao Wenjing and others immediately started to make a noise.
Lu Xingchen asked them: "Did I win the prize?"
Zhao Wenjing laughed: "It's to let you perform on stage, lucky audience, beauties are treated differently, you can be found even if you sit in this corner."
Lin Huanxi: "Brother Chen, they said you sing very well, please sing a song for us!"
"Brother Chen, sing a song, sing a song!" Before the people on the stage did anything, they started to make a noise.
The male lead singer who was in his thirties on the stage smiled and said, "It seems that not only our lighting staff wants to invite you to the stage, but your friends also want to see you perform. So come on stage and sing a song, pretty girl!"
Lu Xingchen smiled unhappily, but he didn't want to spoil the fun and stood up and said, "Then I'll sing a song!"
She walked onto the stage amidst the applause and cheers of the crowd. Wearing a black T-shirt with large graffiti and ripped jeans, the lead singer came over with a microphone and handed it to her, smiling and asking, "Can you tell us your name?"
Lu Xingchen took the microphone and said, "Xingchen."
"Wow, what song is the beautiful Miss Xingchen going to sing for us?" the lead singer spoke in a tone that stirred up the atmosphere.
Lu Xingchen seemed very calm: "Just now the band sang a few songs of Beyond, and the friends present agreed very much. As an outsider, I will also sing "I Like You" by Beyond with your help."
"Huh!" The lead singer looked at the applauding audience, "You also chose a Cantonese song. Where is the pretty girl from?"
"Yuecheng."
"Really?" The lead singer changed his Mandarin to Cantonese, "Your Mandarin doesn't sound like a Cantonese person like us. It's very standard."
Lu Xingchen replied in Cantonese: "Thank you."
"There are many people here who are not from Yuecheng. Why don't you teach us a tongue twister before we sing? Hahaha..." The lead singer laughed at himself, "Am I being too hard on the newbies? But do you want to listen to this beautiful lady telling us a tongue twister?"
Who doesn't like to watch a performance by beautiful women? The key is that everyone's emotions are already very high and they are shouting for it.
The lead singer looked at Lu Xingchen and said, "I'm not trying to embarrass you. It's just that everyone's support is too high."
"Tongue twisters, no problem." She looked at everyone and started to speak, "The carrying pole is long and the bench is wide..."
The lead singer raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
The audience was stunned by her unconventional opening, and then laughed and said, "Isn't this a tongue twister in Mandarin?"
"Sorry, my Chinese is too standard, I forgot it for a moment." Lu Xingchen smiled slyly and changed the subject, "One dollar for a tortoise, seven dollars for a chicken. He said the tortoise is more expensive than the chicken, and I said the chicken is more expensive than the tortoise. So after all, the tortoise is more expensive than the chicken, or the chicken is more expensive than the tortoise."
The people in the audience immediately applauded.
Those who are not locals will follow suit and say, "One dollar for a turtle, seven dollars for a chicken..."
The lead singer joked, "Miss, I guess your profession is a crosstalk performer, right?"
Lu Xingchen replied: "I am a singer."
The lead singer could guess that she was interacting with him, but he didn't expect her to improvise so well. He glared at everyone and said, "It's over. I called my colleagues to come up and steal my job."
The people in the audience laughed.
The lead singer then said, "Then will everyone sing "I Like You"?"
"meeting!"
"Then let Xingchen, who is planning to steal my job, bring you "I Like You"!"
Everyone applauds.
The lead singer smiled and turned to ask Lu Xingchen, "Do you want me to lend you my eating utensils?"
He pointed at the guitar on the shelf, obviously joking, but Lu Xingchen took a look and said, "If you're not afraid that I'll take your job!"
"Hey!!" The lead singer was excited by her singing and said to his band, "She really wants to take my guitar. I'm suddenly a little scared, brothers!"
The band played funny music at this time.
The audience cheered: "Give it to her, give it to her!"
At this time, there were several men standing and drinking in the audience watching the band's performance. Song Baixian patted Li Zhen on the shoulder and said, "If I didn't know that your girlfriend is a technician, I would believe you when you said she was born to be on stage. She is so confident and can control the scene so well."
Li Zhen just smiled.
Jiang Haicheng said to Song Baixian: "If you have seen her play badminton, you have to say that she is a natural player."
Song Boxian asked: "Does she still play badminton?"
Jiang Haicheng curled his lips, "It's still the kind of game where I have to lose millions of balls to this kid in one game."
Li Zhen smiled: "It's hard for you to remember the fact that I was willing to accept the loss of the bet until now."
Qin Yue who was standing aside said, "I'm more curious, is her singing as good as she said? Did she win the prize in your campus singing competition when she sang the song "First Love" when she was chasing you?"
Li Zhen looked at Lu Xingchen, who was carrying a guitar on his back on the stage, and smiled: "He pretended to be someone else and won the first prize."
Qin Yue: "He is showing off, right?!"
Jiang Haicheng: "He is showing off."
Lu Xingchen adjusted the length of the guitar strap. The lead singer helped her clip the microphone onto the stand and turned around and said, "Try the guitar first."
Lu Xingchen tried a few times, and the lead singer sounded like he really knew how to sing. He turned around and gave the audience a thumbs up. Lu Xingchen, carrying his guitar, walked to the microphone stand and adjusted the microphone to the appropriate height.
Today she was wearing a simple white shirt, blue jeans, and a pair of canvas shoes. She had very short hair, beautiful and three-dimensional facial features, and glowing white skin under the lighting. With a guitar on her body, just standing on the stage was enough to be a feast for the audience's eyes.
She tried the prelude of "I Like You" a few times, then adjusted the guitar to a comfortable position for her hands. She looked up at the microphone and sang while playing the guitar.
The drizzle and wind soaked the streets at dusk
Wiping off the rain, my eyes looked up for no reason
Looking at the lonely evening light
It's that sad memory
Once again, countless thoughts come to my mind
The smile from the past is still on my face...
