Counterattack 1988

Chapter 297
Li Wenjuan was looking at the menu, when she was suddenly sprayed with tea on the face by Wang Lin, she couldn't help but let out a scream. Her cry was so terrifying and loud that it startled everyone else in the restaurant, and rushed to the restaurant. Look over here.

"Brother-in-law! What are you doing? You want to give me a bath?" Li Wenjuan looked at Wang Lin with a dazed expression, wanting to cry without tears.

Wang Lin quickly took out the paper towel on the table, wiped the water on her face, couldn't help laughing and said: "Who told you to spit out tiger and wolf words? No wonder I!"

Tang Hua was worried about what happened to her, so he ran over and asked, "Miss Li, what's the matter?"

Li Wenjuan was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, but Tang Hua ran over and bumped into her gun, and immediately said angrily, "What's none of your business?"

Tang Hua smiled sheepishly and said, "I saw you screamed, so I came here to ask."

Li Wenjuan waved her hand, and said impatiently: "I like to play with myself in the water, can't I? You want to take care of it? Go away, I don't want to see you!"

Tang Hua waved his hands: "I'll go, I'll go right away."

He hastily backed away.

Wang Lin helped Li Wenjuan wipe off the water on her face, and said with a smile, "Continue to be fierce! Why aren't you so fierce?"

"You are my brother-in-law, why are you so fierce?" Li Wenjuan snorted, "Why are you so excited? I clearly heard Ms. Tang tell you twice that she is going to open a room in another hotel! Don't try to deny it! Hmph! No wonder you want to come to Guangzhou, it turns out that there is an appointment with a beautiful woman!"

"You know it's not like this! Before I came, I didn't know if she was here, okay?"

"Then who knows? Maybe the two of you deliberately pretended to meet each other, but in fact it was premeditated?"

"It's a pity that you don't want to be a detective. We are not going to open a room, but to see a room! Miss Tang's Mandarin is not standard."

"Look at the room? To see the decoration of the room in the hotel? Or to see if the quilt in the hotel is warm?"

"Hehe, you are so funny! We want to rent an office. Now it is popular to rent rooms in hotels to start a company. I explain this, are you satisfied? Go up and change your clothes! The clothes are all wet!"

"I don't care, you have to pay me for a new set of clothes! I want the most expensive one!"

"it is good."

"Also, tonight, wherever you are, I'll follow you. You can't leave my sight. I'm afraid you and that Miss Tang will do bad things."

"Haha! Okay, you follow!"

"Well, it's about the same." Li Wenjuan wiped off the water droplets on her body, "Forget it, don't change, let's eat first!"

Seeing that her clothes were not much wet, Wang Lin stopped urging her.

Li Wenjuan suddenly laughed and said, "Brother-in-law, have I kissed you before? The tea has kissed your mouth, and it's on my face again!"

"..."

Tian Xiaoqing came over and asked, "Wenjuan, what's wrong with your face? Is your hair wet?"

"Oh, don't mention it, okay, the tea that was sprayed all over the face by my brother-in-law!"

"Ah?" Tian Xiaoqing said happily, "What's going on? Tell me quickly."

"Are you still laughing? Hmph!" Li Wenjuan turned around and gave Wang Lin a blank look.

Tian Xiaoqing changed into a set of blue clothes and trousers, with a white shirt inside, her hair was loosely combed on the right side of her chest, and she held a bouquet casually. She said to Wang Lin: "Why don't we go to the inland provinces?" ? For every hundred dollars, you can earn four or five dollars more! One million is forty or fifty thousand!"

Wang Lin said: "Where are you going?"

Tian Xiaoqing said: "Changsha, Guizhou, and Kunming are all fine."

Wang Lindao: "You are not familiar with those cities, and you have rarely been there before."

Tian Xiaoqing said: "Because there are so few visits, maybe there will be surprises?"

Wang Lin pondered: "However, the people in these provinces you mentioned are quite tough, and there are not many floating population and tourists in these provinces. You speak a foreign language, and it is easy to be targeted by the locals. I will go to The first time I saw a piece of news about a treasury bond dealer who went to a certain province to exchange treasury bills, but was stopped by a few locals who insisted on checking his purse. Nothing happened, but that night, someone switched his purse, and when he woke up, hundreds of thousands of treasury bills disappeared, and his purse was full of ghost coins!"

Li Wenjuan asked in amazement: "Brother-in-law, are you haunted?"

Tian Xiaoqing said with a smile: "Where did the ghost come from? People's hearts are the most terrifying! They must have been transferred!"

Wang Lindao: "It's just that they were transferred, and the case has not been solved until now! If such a thing really happens, losing money is still a small matter, but if there is a conflict and hurts lives, it will be a big loss."

Tian Xiaoqing said: "Then let's go to Xi'an?"

Wang Lindao: "Forget it, let's buy it here! Next time, I will go to other places and earn less. It is better than anything else."

Tian Xiaoqing didn't say any more.

After a while, the food came up.

Wang Lin looked at the dishes and said with a smile: "Good guy, they are all hard dishes! Pineapple sweet and sour pork, salt-baked chicken, boiled shrimp, steamed pork ribs in black bean sauce, braised foie gras, sand tea beef, pot vegetables, Hakka stuffed tofu! A green vegetable nothing?"

Li Wenjuan smiled eloquently and said, "Hee hee! Vegetables are quite expensive and not worth it. How cheap is it to eat at home? A bowl of vegetables for [-] cents costs [-] yuan a bowl here! Isn't this money grabbing? Do not eat his vegetables!"

"..." Wang Lin looked at a large table full of meat dishes and said with a smile, "Okay, from tomorrow onwards, the right to order dishes will be handed over to me, and you can no longer order."

Li Wenjuan didn't care so much, picked up the chopsticks and started to eat: "Brother-in-law, I came out with you because there are delicious food! Oh, it's really delicious, brother-in-law, eat this dish quickly! Sand tea beef is specially for you ordered."

Wang Lindao: "Let's pack it up for Master and Luo Wei first."

Tian Xiaoqing said, "I'll do it."

He called the waiter, took two takeaway boxes, packed two meals and sent them up.

Wang Lin lit a cigarette, smoked it slowly, waited for Tian Xiaoqing to come down, and then moved his chopsticks with her.

Li Wenjuan was already half full!
Wang Lin said to Tian Xiaoqing: "Sister Tian, ​​I'm sorry, the child is greedy. I'm sorry."

Tian Xiaoqing pursed her lips and smiled, "It's okay, there are so many dishes! Wenjuan, eat more."

Li Wenjuan stuffed a salt-baked chicken leg into her mouth, and said with a greasy smile, "Sister Tian, ​​I'm really hungry, so I didn't wait for you."

"Come on, have another chicken leg." Tian Xiaoqing put another salt-baked chicken leg into Li Wenjuan's bowl, "I think Wenjuan lives the most real life!"

Wang Lindao: "Don't praise her, it's wrong if you don't know the rules! You can't be a circle without rules."

Li Wenjuan said: "Brother-in-law, don't be on the line with me, I'm really hungry today, I will definitely abide by your rules next time!"

After dinner, Tang Yan came over and invited Wang Lin to Dongfang Hotel to look at the room.

Wang Lin asked Tian Xiaoqing, "Sister Tian, ​​are you going?"

It was a polite remark, but Tian Xiaoqing smiled and said, "Okay, let's go for a walk with you."

Tang Hua drove over, and it happened to be five people.

Wang Lin, Li Wenjuan and Tian Xiaoqing sat in the back row.

At night in Guangzhou, there are obviously more neon lights than in Shanghai. When passing a lighted night market, I saw a row of stalls selling clothes and various gadgets.

Tian Xiaoqing said: "There is also a night market here!"

Wang Lindao: "Guangzhou has set up 17 illuminated night markets, which have greatly enriched the night life of the citizens. People here also like to live at night. Unlike us in Shanghai, we all go to bed early."

Tian Xiaoqing said: "It means that most of the people in Shencheng are office workers, while Guangzhou has a lot of freelancers."

"It also makes sense." Wang Lin nodded.

On both sides of the Pearl River, tall buildings stand tall.

On the most prosperous Renmin Road, a 7-kilometer-long elevated highway was built.

Construction sites are dizzying, and ultra-luxury hotels are opening one after another.

The speed of development in Guangzhou is changing with each passing day!
Men wear suits, white shirts, and ties, while women wear skirts, T-shirts, and high-heeled shoes. There is almost no difference between what citizens will wear thirty years later.

After a while, the car arrived at Dongfang Hotel.

Dongfang Hotel is just opposite the Canton Fair, located in the bustling commercial center of the city, Liuhua Commercial District.

Thanks to the huge benefits driven by the Canton Fair, the Dongfang Hotel, Garden Hotel and other big hotels have become the most dazzling five-star hotels in Huacheng.

In front of the Dongfang Hotel, there is an antique and huge archway with the four golden characters of Dongfang Hotel written on it. This kind of archway is common in farming scenic spots, which also marks the long history and uniqueness of this hotel.

The spacious, bright and resplendent lobby, the shiny floor tiles, and the courteous waiters all demonstrate the hotel's five-star service and management.

Wang Lin and Tang Yan came to the front desk and asked about renting a house and starting a company.

It was obviously not the first time for the lady at the front desk to receive such a guest, and she introduced the room and price to Wang and the others politely and gently.

150 yuan per square meter per month. The room area is 30 square meters or 45 square meters. The rent is paid every six months, and the original decoration of the hotel must not be damaged.

Both Wang Lin and Tang Yan felt that renting a 30-square-meter apartment would be enough.

In an era when there were no office buildings, renting a room in a five-star hotel to start a company was the most classy thing.

Moreover, it is the closest to the Canton Fair. If you walk straight out, you will see the Canton Fair after crossing the road. You can earn money by attending any Canton Fair for the money spent on the room.

Wang Lin and Tang Yan immediately decided to rent a room of 30 square meters each. Wang Lin's was on the third floor and Tang Yan's was on the fourth floor.

After seeing the room, Li Wenjuan finally believed that Wang Lin and Tang Yan really came to see the room, not to open the room, and she misunderstood her brother-in-law.

"Hey, someone is singing over here!" Li Wenjuan heard the music with sharp ears.

It turned out that there was an open music cafe inside the Dongfang Hotel.

Huacheng's entertainment industry is of course at the forefront of the country.

As early as 1980, Dongfang Hotel opened the first music teahouse after the reform and opening up of Huacheng.At that time, it was mainly open to foreign guests. If you didn't have a foreign passport, you had to find a way to get close to the security cover if you wanted to enter the venue.

In 1982, several large hotels and hotels in Huacheng City opened commercial dance halls according to people's consumption psychology and needs.

At that time, in order to avoid troubles, it was strictly stipulated that it was only open to foreigners, foreign Chinese, overseas Chinese, compatriots from Hong Kong and Macao, and it was stipulated that each person could only buy one ticket with a certificate.At the same time, ballroom dances held in various cultural and entertainment venues cannot sell tickets publicly, and can only be booked by the unit.

In 1985, Huacheng took the lead in converting all non-commercial ballrooms into commercial ones.

These music teahouses are very profitable. It is said that in 1983, the total income of more than 70 music teahouses in Huacheng City reached 2000 million yuan, with an average income of nearly 30 yuan per family. This was really not a small sum at the time.

In January 1988, Huacheng introduced the first karaoke equipment, which was placed in the Dongfang Hotel where Japanese businessmen gathered at that time, and it became the first karaoke hall in mainland my country.

"Brother-in-law, shall we go and have a look?" Li Wenjuan urged.

Wang Lin looked at Tang Yan.

Tang Hua said with a smile: "Isn't it just a karaoke hall? If you want to see it, go and see it, let's go, go and see it!"

When the elder brother opened his mouth, Tang Yan had nothing to say.

A group of five people came to the door, bought tickets and entered.

In the past, only a foreign passport could be used to buy a ticket to enter the venue, but now it has become a profit-making place, and you can enter with a ticket, and the fare includes snacks and tea.

Different from the private rooms familiar to the public in later generations, the karaoke of Dongfang Hotel is set in an open hall that can accommodate 60 people.

There is a small circular stage in front, and juke equipment is placed on the hall stage.

The waiter led Wang Lin and the others to their seats, and then delivered a songbook.

"Can we order songs and sing by ourselves?" Li Wenjuan was in high spirits.

"Yes, miss." The waiter, wearing a small Western-style dress, replied politely.

In this era, being able to sing with a microphone is a privilege that only singers can enjoy!
Li Wenjuan said with a smile: "Then I ordered a song!"

Wang Lin said: "Can you sing?"

Li Wenjuan said: "I can sing! It's just singing, who can't?"

She just wanted to order a song, but suddenly remembered the rules her brother-in-law had repeatedly told her, so she took the song book and handed it to Tang Yan with a smile: "Sister Tang, why don't you order first?"

Tang Yan smiled and said, "Order!"

Li Wenjuan handed the order book to Tian Xiaoqing again: "Sister Tian, ​​would you like it?"

Tian Xiaoqing waved her hand: "I can't sing."

Li Wenjuan looked at Wang Lin: "Women first, is this considered a rule?"

Wang Lin laughed and said, "Okay, ladies first."

Li Wenjuan took the songbook, chose a song, pointed to the song, and told the waiter: "This!"

Holding a small notebook in his hand, the waiter transcribed the song Li Wenjuan wanted to sing, and said, "Miss, after waiting for the song you ordered, you can go on stage and sing to your heart's content."

"Okay, thank you." Li Wenjuan also became polite.

Wang Lin asked, "What song did you order?"

"Pingju!" Li Wenjuan said.

"Pingju?" Wang Lin said, "You can sing this song, it's a song from Hong Kong and Taiwan."

"This is my favorite song!"

"Why didn't I realize that you like listening to music before?"

"Brother-in-law, I'm not talking about you. You know too little about me. The main reason is that you spend too little time at home. Except for eating and sleeping, how much time do you spend at home?"

Wang Lin was speechless.

The people who come here to consume are either rich or expensive, and many of them are foreign businessmen and overseas Chinese businessmen.

Everyone was very quiet and people were singing on the stage. After a song, no matter how well the person sang, everyone applauded together and shouted hello to show encouragement.

"The next song is "Ping Ju". It's a song ordered by the beautiful lady on Channel 5. I invite this lady to come on stage and sing." The waiter shouted.

"Me! Me!" Li Wenjuan smiled and said to Wang Lin, "Brother-in-law, this song is for you!"

Wang Lin was stunned, thinking why did you give me this song?
Li Wenjuan walked onto the stage with a smile.

After all, I don't know how Li Wenjuan's silly singing voice is, and I'll listen to the next chapter to break it down.
