Chapter 167: Even money can’t make you happy

Just calculate it based on the transaction price, an inn worth 5.5 million yuan... Although Su Man knew that such an algorithm was actually a hooliganism, after all, it would definitely be sold for more than this price.

In addition to the property worth millions that Zhou Wang has already given to Su Yajing, this is already how much money it is.

The key is that they have only been together for a month.

Let alone a month, even if some women stay with a man for five or ten years, will they get as much as Su Yajing?

Su Man suddenly remembered something she had heard before, that is, a local boss in Belvedere built a townhouse by himself after making a lot of money. His two wives lived across from each other, and the family of five was enjoying themselves...

It\'s not that Su Man doesn\'t believe this kind of thing, it\'s just that she can\'t figure out what those two women are thinking.

Now she seems to understand a little bit...

Judging from Su Yajing\'s appearance, let alone playing third, I feel like she would be willing to play fifth or sixth...

"I\'ll ask Lao Wang to bring the bedding over first."

So Su Man, who was in a state of confusion, adopted an evasive attitude, took out her mobile phone and made a panicked call.

But in Su Yajing\'s eyes, this was actually a statement. She chuckled and hugged Zhou Wang\'s arm, "Brother, I can sleep with you here at night!"

Zhou Wang\'s heart was shaken by Su Yajing\'s deliberate squeezing, but then he thought about it, it seemed that Su Yajing was not very convenient, but then he thought about it, there are so many roads in the world, when you can\'t go, just change one...

So Zhou Wang started to ripple again.

After Su Man made the call, in about ten minutes, my uncle and Xiao Xia sent over four-piece sets, a total of two sets. After simple decoration, there were two bedrooms for sleeping.

After finishing all this work, the night was getting darker.

Su Man glanced at the time and saw that it was past eleven o\'clock. After hesitating, she said, "It\'s almost time for me to go back." шшш ⊕тт kдn ⊕℃o

"No, aunt, it\'s rare for you to give yourself a holiday tonight. Let\'s play some more!"

Su Yajing hugged Su Man and started acting coquettishly.

"But what else can be done at this point?"

Su Man actually didn\'t want to sleep that much. After all, her mood had not calmed down yet, but it was indeed a bit awkward at this time.

Most of the furniture in the hotel has been evacuated, and there is currently no TV. There is really no entertainment activity.

"How about we go have a drink?"

Su Yajing suggested, "Now is the busiest time in those pubs!"

"But Ran Ran, just because it\'s already this point, the more famous ones probably don\'t have any seats anymore, right?"

Shen Yutong was a little moved, but quickly shook his head, "If you want to go, you have to go to one of those livehouses with bands. If it\'s just an ordinary bar, it\'s better for us to play music at home!"

"I don\'t really like going to those places, after all, I\'m past that age." Su Man also shook her head.

"Oh, aunt, you are only 32 years old. According to the official definition, you are still a young man. Why are you too old..."

Su Yajing tried to persuade, but Su Man was unmoved, and she couldn\'t help but look at Zhou Wang subconsciously.

Naturally, her good brother Zhou Wang would not disappoint her. Only then did he smile and said: "I don\'t want to go out but also want to listen to the live performance in the bar. It\'s actually very simple."

"What do you mean?" Su Man asked confused.

"Just move the Livehouse here."

"Ah, how do you move this?" Su Man was confused.

"My idea is to bring the wine here, bring the band here, and dim the lights a little, so it can be considered half a livehouse."

Zhou Wang smiled and said, "Actually, it can\'t be considered an idea, because I have asked Brother Wu to make arrangements... I will just celebrate my move to a new house today."

Before Zhou Wang finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. Because the door was unlocked, Wu Lei walked in directly after knocking. Behind him, there was indeed a group of rock and roll youths.

Three men and two women were members of the band, and there were also some errand boys to help carry their instruments. In addition, there were bar staff who delivered drinks and ice, and there was also a bartender.

Before and after, more than twenty people rushed in, leaving several women a little stunned.

But it was Su Yajing who reacted first. She screamed, pointed at the band members, especially the fresh-tempered female lead singer and shouted:

"Ah, it\'s \'The Cat on the Roof\'!"

"It\'s really them...Wow, Zhou Wang, you actually invited this band!"

Shen Yutong recognized it and was also pleasantly surprised.

"\'Cat on the Roof\'?"

Zhou Wang felt that the name sounded vaguely familiar, but not that familiar.

After all, after he quit the guitar club in his sophomore year, he no longer paid much attention to the music industry. At a certain time in the past, he was an enthusiastic young man.

"She\'s the folk singer who became popular because of a short video some time ago. But she became popular mainly because of her appearance... Her band hasn\'t released any very popular songs. It\'s normal for you not to know, brother."

Su Yajing explained excitedly, "Brother, you have probably seen that video. It has more than one million likes. She is from Baicheng."

After being reminded by Su Yajing, Zhou Wang finally had an impression. There was a cover video that went viral, singing "Zebra Zebra". The female singer\'s appearance was pure and charming, and she was hailed as the "Folk Goddess" by some netizens...

Zhou Wang carefully identified the girl with medium-long hair and fair skin. She was indeed the "Cat on the Roof" who became famous because of that video.

At this time, Shen Yutong and Su Yajing had already walked over together, and Zhou Wang was also a little curious about how Wu Lei invited a band of this level——

Although it\'s not a first- or second-tier band, if you compare it among resident singers, this is definitely a "star band."

As for Su Man and Miao Ying, neither of them moved. It was obvious that neither of them were too cold about this kind of thing.

"Thank you thank you..."

When Zhou Wang went over, Su Yajing and the two had already communicated with the "cat on the roof". The other party didn\'t have any airs and kept smiling politely.

Wu Lei probably knew what Zhou Wang wanted to ask, so he briefly explained the process to him.

In fact, it\'s not complicated. Several of the most popular bars, like Livehouse, cooperate with Xinghui Travel. Wu Lei found the owner of one of them, and after some coordination, the other party helped communicate with the band performing tonight. , and then there was the "private performance" at this time.

Apart from the relationship connection, the most important thing is Zhou Wang\'s use of his "money power".

He told Wu Lei in advance that no matter what the other party\'s price was for performing in the bar, he would be willing to pay three times the price. If not, he could add more.

Singing in a bar all night is just singing, singing in Zhou Wang\'s house is also singing, and you can make more money, so why not?

Even if you want to gain fame through the Internet celebrity bar route, you can do it in just one night.

The truth is... everyone is reduced to singing in bars. Who the hell is not short of money?

Most of those who engage in music were poor before becoming famous, except for those from wealthy families, because it is impossible to pursue this career without concentration.

According to incomplete statistics, before the show "China Has Hip Hop" was broadcast, on average, thousands of rappers were starving every day...

"Their folk band has been very popular recently because the lead singer is \'Cat on the Rooftop\'. Although the contract signed with the bar has not expired, the price has gone up. Now the price of a one-hour performance has reached 8,000... "

"How much?" Zhou Wang was stunned.

"Uh, just 8,000..."

Wu Lei couldn\'t figure out for a while whether Zhou Wang thought it was expensive or cheap, so he repeated it.

Zhou Wang bared his teeth when he heard this. Of course he thought it was too cheap...

But it\'s not surprising when you think about it. When he was in college, Zhou Wang once asked the surrounding bars if they needed resident singers, and he also fantasized about the days of making a living by prostitution... Bah, making a living by prostitution...

Although he didn\'t pass the bar interview, Zhou Wang remembered that he usually hired a singer to sing for one night, and the bar probably paid around 500 to 600.

Considering that there are five people in the band, even if the price of the singer is multiplied by five, it will indeed not exceed 3,000 yuan. If you calculate this, 8,000 yuan for the "Cat on the Roof" band per night is already a lot.

If it hadn\'t been for that unexpected viral video, they probably wouldn\'t have even had 5,000 under normal circumstances...

Of course, famous singers earn more, but the industry\'s 80-20 rule still applies. More people are still struggling at the bottom, and "Cat on the Roof" is already considered one of the best.

Paying tens of thousands of yuan to invite such a well-known band to perform a special performance, Zhou Wang naturally felt that it was worth it.

Later, Zhou Wang also got to know the band members under the introduction of Wu Lei.

This process is quite interesting.

After learning that Zhou Wang was today\'s financial sponsor and the owner of this hotel, the five band members showed very different attitudes.

To break it down, the lead singer "Cat on the Roof" and the female guitarist were more enthusiastic about Zhou Wang, while the other three rock and roll youths were somewhat indifferent.

But Zhou Wang knew that they were not deliberately trying to show off to him, but that this was a common problem with art.

He just wants to cater to the world, but he still can\'t let go of his figure. In the end, he either compromises while cursing, or he grows old in poverty on the road of cynicism.

After a while, all the instruments were adjusted and the drinks were put on the table. "Cat on the Roof" glanced at Zhou Wang and saw him nodding, then turned around and made a gesture to the band members.

"That year when you set foot on a foreign land at dusk, you thought your ideals would be there..."

The girl sang a cappella as soon as she opened her mouth, which surprised Zhou Wang.

A song "In a Foreign Country" belonging to Shuimunianhua was sung by her with another clear and simple feeling.

In the live live, because there is no sound correction in the recording studio, ordinary singers will have flaws, but the basic skills of "Cat on the Roof" are extremely solid. It is in this kind of face-to-face listening that Zhou Wang realizes that the other party can be more than just a little popular. Rely on appearance.

The strength is there.

Pour a glass of Fenghuaxueyue\'s cold beer, listen to the special performance of a well-known band under the bright and dark lights of the small courtyard, and the atmosphere suddenly rises...

Without the hustle and bustle of the bar, both Su Yajing, who was shaking her body, and Su Man, who was slightly squinting her eyes, felt a different kind of fun.

"Cheers, I wish you all the best!" Zhou Wang, who was in a good mood, raised his glass first and drank the beer in the square cup first.

Su Yajing and Shen Yutong also finished their drinks, Miao Ying drank less, and Su Man, after a slight hesitation, finished the wine in the glass at Su Yajing\'s encouragement.

A touch of rosy rose to Su Man\'s cheeks. Listening to the moving ballad, Su Man finally felt the relaxation she had not seen for a long time.

The main thing is that she can enjoy the atmosphere in a bar without going to the bar. This feeling is really to her liking!

Ever since her sister\'s accident, she had to take Su Yajing by herself, which was equivalent to working alone in Belvedere. She had experienced too much in the past ten years, but there was no doubt that her mind was always tense...

"Vicious tongue" is just a protective color added by a business woman.

But now, Su Yajing has finally found her destination. Even she has to admit that from the current point of view, it is difficult for Su Yajing to make the same mistakes as her mother. In fact, she will live a better life than most people...

In this state of mind, Su Man felt like an old mother who had been worrying about her for half her life, suddenly relieved of her burden. She felt faintly disappointed in her heart, but more importantly, she was happy.

Gradually, an uncontrollable smile appeared on Su Man\'s face.

It was a beauty that Su Yajing had never seen before.

Zhou Wang also saw it, but he felt a little narrow-minded. When Su Man wasn\'t paying attention, he suddenly came closer and asked, "Auntie, are you happy now?"

"hapiness..."

Su Man nodded subconsciously.

"So you see, last time you asked me if you will definitely be happy if you have money, it was actually a false proposition."

"Um?"

When Su Man looked over in astonishment, Zhou Wang had already smiled lightly and said:

"If money can\'t make you happy, then is there a possibility that your little money...can\'t do it."

Su Man: "..."

When the aunt was gagged by Zhou Wang and became speechless, Zhou Wang had already turned around to chat with Wu Lei again.

In order to avoid any accidents, Wu Lei deliberately stayed and sat down. He didn\'t want to drink at first, but he couldn\'t resist Zhou Wang\'s invitation, so he sat down.

While the two chatted for a few words, Wu Lei went out to answer a phone call. After a while, he came back with a young man in casual clothes.

"Brother Wei?"

After Zhou Wang was stunned for a short time, he immediately realized the identity of this young man and greeted him with a smile.

"Hahaha, Brother Dog, we finally meet!"

The visitor is naturally Ruan Jingwei, Lao Ruan\'s cousin. On the surface, he is just the department head of Xinghui Tourism, but for a family business like theirs, the power he actually has is not much worse than that of a vice president. .

In any case, now that Zhou Wang has come to Belvedere and with Lao Ruan\'s advice, Ruan Jingwei will definitely find a chance to meet Zhou Wang.

Originally, he wanted to treat Zhou Wang to dinner when he left, but when Wu Lei said that Zhou Wang had spent 40 million to buy the Sanhe Hotel, Ruan Jingwei was surprised and rushed over immediately.

Ruan Jingwei is a few years older than Zhou Wang, but he still calls "Brother Dog" very naturally.

Zhou Wang also called him "brother". Anyway, the two of them had different opinions and it didn\'t matter.

"I was quite interested in this place, but I don\'t have the courage like you. Unless I ask our old man to help in the name of investment, I may need a loan... Hey, I envy you, Brother Dog!"

After the greetings, Ruan Jingwei, who sat down, sighed and said half truthfully.

The truth is that he really likes this hotel. The lie is that even if he asks his old man to come forward, it will be difficult to spend 40 million in cash to buy such a yard.

Although the tourism industry has begun to pick up, the injuries in those years have still caused the entire Ruan family\'s assets to shrink a lot.

If their family hadn\'t had strong connections in this land and managed to survive, their position at the top of the industry might have been replaced by others.

So he was really envious of Zhou Wang\'s generosity, and he vaguely understood why his elder brother paid so much attention to Zhou Wang\'s attitude...

"It\'s bad, Brother Wei, what you said is that I\'m just messing around on my own, how can I compare with you, a family with a profound foundation? As the saying goes, the wind and water are changing. Maybe it just happened to be transferred to me recently, so there are A little squandered capital..."

Zhou Wang laughed, not deliberately showing off or being modest.

But he added silently in his heart, well, it\'s true that the wind and water will take turns, but if it only revolves around me, it can be regarded as a kind of turn...

Tongzi is awesome!

After drinking for three rounds, Zhou Wang suddenly remembered something and asked with interest, "By the way, Brother Wei, there\'s something I\'m curious about."

"Brother Dog, you said..."

"Your mobile phone number shouldn\'t have been drawn, right?"

Zhou Wang really wanted to change his number.

He doesn\'t have the worries of ordinary working people. He won\'t let this matter affect his work or anything, and he won\'t be reluctant to part with his Thunder Platinum membership...

"8788 this?"

Ruan Jingwei smiled and said: "Of course not, I bought it with money..."

"Can I ask how much it cost?"

Zhou Wang immediately became energetic when he heard that money could solve the problem.

"More than 120,000 yuan... But I bought it several years ago, so I\'m not sure about the current market situation."

Ruan Jingwei thought for a while and said, "If you are more interested, Brother Gou, you can pay more attention to the legal auction channel. Many better numbers come from this aspect. After all, the new numbers are unlikely to be any good." Well, we can only wait for the previous bosses to go bankrupt and be executed..."

While talking, Ruan Jingwei also chatted with Zhou Wang about an interesting story.

There used to be a legend on the Internet that the mobile number "19999999999", which is known as the most awesome, was auctioned for a sky-high price of 120 million.

Although the official later came out to refute the rumors, saying that this number had never been put into use, it also aroused heated discussions among some netizens, and even called it "the six most awesome numbers in the country".

According to widely circulated reports, the number "13999999999" belongs to Lao Mi, the richest man in the new province, "138888888888" belongs to Lao Wu, the oil tycoon in Guangdong Province, and "136666666666" belongs to the old man from Hengda, "136666666666". 13808888888"...

Then netizens got excited, and many people actually made these calls to confirm it.

As a result, except for "13777777777" belonging to a certain enterprise, which can be dialed, other numbers are either turned off or empty...

But is it really an empty number?

"A CEO in the telecommunications industry told me that their operating system will set up a special blocking mechanism for these numbers. Users who are not on the whitelist cannot get in at all. The same is true for harassing calls."

Ruan Jingwei smiled and said, "They will have flexible blocking methods for different users, including cadres within the system, VIP users, etc. I won\'t explain the truth clearly, but you must understand."

Zhou Wang smacked his lips when he heard this. After hearing this, he wanted this special number even more.

After all, he receives a lot of random calls now, but it is impossible to block them all, because there are always some useful ones, and he needs someone to help him flexibly block them...

About half an hour later, Ruan Jingwei and Wu Lei said goodbye.

It\'s not like the two of them have lost their eyesight. The yard is full of beautiful women sitting here, so that\'s enough. It\'s not good to continue to delay Zhou Wang\'s happy time...

After seeing off the two of them, the band\'s performance came to an end.

According to industry rules, they would not sing more than ten songs in a bar in one night, so singing for Zhou Wang and the others for an hour non-stop was already a sign of sincerity.

The thin white girl\'s voice was a little hoarse. When she came to thank her, Zhou Wang took the initiative to add her WeChat account...

Of course it was to transfer money to her, otherwise what else could it be?

The other party sent his real name, and after changing the notes, Zhou Wang directly transferred 30,000 yuan.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhou."

"Cat on the Roof" was also a little surprised, and thanked Zhou Wang with a sweet smile.

"See you later, then."

Zhou Wang waved to her.

The band members left immediately, leaving Zhou Wang with no need for them to take care of the equipment and wine bottles left in the room. Before leaving, Wu Lei said that someone would come and clean up the next day.

Although the band is no longer here, they still left behind a tuba speaker, and the sound of music is still floating in the yard.

When Zhou Wang returned to the small table, Su Yajing and Shen Yutong were still humming along with the music. Su Man played "fifteen or twenty" with Miao Ying at some point. Miao Ying couldn\'t tell, but Su Man His face has been dyed red by alcohol...

"Brother, come and join us, you have been avoiding drinking for a long time!"

Su Yajing giggled and hugged Zhou Wang\'s neck.

At this time, there were about a dozen boxes of beer of various brands placed next to the table. In addition, Wu Lei was worried that there would not be enough, so he filled an oversized wooden bucket with ice cubes and placed them on the ground.

But in fact, the girls not only drank beer, but the bartender who came with them also helped each of them make a cocktail. Zhou Wang saw that their goblets were all bottomed out.

But at least judging from the situation, everyone is still relatively sober.

"Now that my brother is here, let\'s play games together!"

Su Yajing was the first to raise her hand and suggested.

Um?

Playing games again?

Zhou Wang feels that he has been playing games at the drinking table very frequently recently, but fortunately the people are all different. But then again, drinking is not as interesting as playing games.

Especially when men and women sit together, they can\'t talk like lonely men, right?

So Zhou Wang followed his lead and said, "Play, it\'s rare that everyone is in high spirits today, so we must play hard!"
