Chapter 1 "Black Sunday" and a man with real money
"Black Sunday", the lyrics I translated by myself.
It is a song sung by the dead to the living.Whenever I sing it, my body and mind are completely immersed in the desolation and helplessness of the music, and I can't help myself.My soul goes out of my body, following the white flower and the black hearse, and everything in the world of mortals will no longer be able to tempt me, hold me back, and destroy me.
I know that I am the most beautiful when I sing, especially when I devote myself wholeheartedly, "there will be a sense of holiness independent of the world".This is what my graduate tutor Professor He told me.Oh, Professor Ho...
Those who walk on the snow cannot see their own footprints.
Not daring to look back, but turning back frequently, the fear in my heart is accumulating, expanding, and eventually tearing apart.I want to howl, my throat seems to be choked, my voice is suffocated and distorted to the point where I can't hear it, I hesitate to stop, but finally I can't help running wildly, even if there is a cliff in front of me, I would rather jump down and enjoy the sharp pain in the destruction Pain, experience the truth in death.
But no, the direction of running is just running itself, and the snow field is boundless.
Every step, I can't get to the point...
I just want to destroy.
There is nothing to pursue or look forward to in life. Miracles will never belong to me.
I just want to destroy.
Last night, that woman came again, with a big red satin jacket, high buns, and a very weird attire.Muttering curses.
Actually, I've never met her, but I know who she is.
Her face was blurry, and blood slowly flowed from her eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and it was red and sticky, gradually spreading.
Her voice, that vicious bloody curse, struck my eardrums, chasing me in the snow field.With the sound of her cursing, the heavy snow all over the sky turned crimson like blood.
To do this I turned up the speakers to the max, hoping to drown out her voice.
"Sunday is Gloomy, My hours are slumberless."
The song I listen to is called "Black Sunday".A song about death, my love.
Ghostly voice.Struggling to confide from the ground, it seemed to be calling, begging, to find someone to walk with her.
According to legend, if the water ghost looking for a substitute can sing, it will be like this.
I listened with my knees tucked in, sitting in the corner of the V8 box, smoking a cigarette, leaning on the speakers.The sound reaches my back first, then my ears.
Feel first, hear later.A double tremor of body and mind.
Cigarette butts flickered in the dark.
The light of the stars.The darkness deepened because of that little light.
It was only eight or nine o'clock at night, and the outdoors should be brightly lit.But time is still here, the sealed private room has only doors and no windows, and dark purple floor-to-ceiling thick velvet curtains are drawn around it, both for decoration and sound insulation.
I was wrapped like a chrysalis in a cocoon of deep purple thick velvet. No matter how sad "Black Sunday" is sung, it will not disturb other people's emotions.
V8 is near the deepest part of the corridor, the smallest and the most humid.Sitting on the carpet in the dark and listening to music, I always feel that there are unknown fungi growing silently around me, while other lives are withering and rotting.Unless it is fully booked, few customers will order this one.
The waiter will know to come here for me if something happens.I'm always here when I'm not singing or having guests, smoking and listening to music.Occasionally scold people.
In the "Night Angel Club", I am a singer on the surface, but secretly an uncrowned deputy manager, a celebrity next to the boss Gao Sheng, who has the power of life and death.
Even the manager, Ms. Qin, is afraid of me.
"Night Angel", an angel at night, uses light and music as wings, dancing in the smiling shadows of drunk clients.
People in the world are nothing more than clients and prostitutes.My grandma said it.
She said that if you understand this point, you can be a good person, otherwise you will always run into walls everywhere.
I just figured it out after I hit a wall.
I understand, but I still don't believe it.There are always exceptions, right?There will always be.
I used to think that Gao Sheng was an accident and had nothing to do with money.
On my birthday, he shipped from Hong Kong a huge jade screen engraved with the full text of Zhuangzi's "Autumn Waters".
"When the autumn water comes, the river is filled with rivers and rivers. The stream is so big that there is no distinction between cattle and horses between the cliffs on both banks. So Yan Hebo is happy with himself, taking the beauty of the world as his own, and travels eastward along the river. As for the North Sea, Looking to the east, he could not see the end of the water. So Yan Hebo began to turn his face, looked at the ocean and sighed: "There are wild sayings, people who have heard a hundred things, and think that they are invincible. I call it that!"... "
I was very happy, and I desperately opened my arms to embrace the painting screen, and closed my eyes. , As for the son's gate, it is doomed! I always laugh in Dafang's house..."
Gao Sheng asked: "Everyone has material desires. Some people collect stamps, some collect match stickers, some save money, some collect wine or classic cars... But you, your hobby is to collect various versions, why?"
I didn't answer, just hugged the screen and shook my head: "If Beihai said: Well tortoises can't talk about the sea, they are confined to the emptiness; summer insects can't talk about ice, they are obsessed with the time; music scholars can't talk about the Tao, they are bound. Yu Jiao also..."
He didn't let me go, and still asked: "Some people say that people who are usually obsessed with material desires are eager to possess because they are not sure about life, and use real things to comfort themselves. What about you? Why do you like Zhuangzi so much?"
Still smiling, I closed my eyes and continued, "Gao students can't talk about Zhuangzi, because they are stingy with love."
He laughed, lifted me up high suddenly, and said threateningly: "If you don't tell me, I'll throw you off the stairs."
It is Baihualou.
It sounds like the name of a brothel, located in Lily Garden on the outskirts of Meizhou, Guangdong.
In the Lily Garden villa area, each building has a nice and thought-provoking name, Baicao Hall, Bainiaoxuan, Baichi Pavilion, Baibuting, Baisefang... Our building is called Baihualou.
The possession of objects is the most real trace of life.Whether it is a villa or Zhuangzi, it is just a kind of possession.
I own Zhuangzi's painting screen, Gao Sheng owns me, and we own Baihualou.
Upstairs in Baihua Building, in front of Zhuangziping screen, drunk in the painting "Autumn Water" with flying dragons and phoenixes, I thought Gao Sheng was different, at least he put his heart into me.
I committed myself to him that night, thinking that I was not selling.
But later I learned that everything is still a beautiful transaction, and a transaction is a transaction after all.
The door of the V8 slammed slightly, and Shelly walked in to inform me that it was time to sing.
I stared at her, hesitant to find an excuse to make things difficult.
But before I could make up my mind, she had already turned around and left.
Feeling a little remorseful, I snuffed out the cigarette, took out the mirror in my handbag to touch up my makeup.
Shelly was my only rival in the club.I have always wanted to subdue her and let her be careful with me like other people. It doesn't matter how she scolds me behind my back, but in front of me, she must be respectful and bow down to me.
But no, no matter in front of anyone, the manager, the boss, the guests, or me, she always looks neither humble nor overbearing, like a nobleman.
Bah, pretending to be noble, why come to such a sensual place to work?It's just a small assistant to the manager, even the manager is very courteous to me, why can she always be so calm and unhurried?
Walking out of the V8, the foreman Ah Rong immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, and called out "Wenny" sweetly, before the words fell, the smile was gone.
Just for that, I guess she's already past twenty-three.
But she swears that she is only eighteen.eighteen?Ghost letter.The girls here all say that they are only eighteen years old, but the fish tails in the corners of their eyes can swim in water, they look like housewives without makeup, but they look like resentful wives with makeup, but they don't look like girls no matter what.
Many people try their best to remove wrinkles and freckles, but is there an eye cream that can be applied to make the eyes look pure and innocent?
With tired and drowsy eyes open, no matter how thick the powder is on the face, it can't cover the smell of wind and dust.
No one can compare to the daughter of our Yun family in terms of beauty.
Generations are ageless goblins.
My grandma is seventy years old, but she only looks like fifty; my mother is fifty years old, but some people believe that she is thirty; and I, even myself, can hardly tell my own age. Because my mother has never been willing to admit my real age, and even my age has been changed again and again. Now, I claim to be nineteen years old.
Nineteen-year-old face, twenty-nine-year-old body, thirty-nine-year-old soul and heart.
Arong smiled furtively at me, very intimately: "Wenny, come on stage, don't forget to pay attention to the man in the dark suit in T2."
"how?"
"That's Mr. Wu. He has been here for three nights and is a big customer."
"Who are the big customers in Meizhou? It's just a hotel manager."
"It's the Great World Holiday Hotel, but it's not the manager, it's the chairman, a Hong Kong native, Meizhou is his ancestral home, he has at least a dozen hotels like Great World in the world, and he is a real rich man. Every time he gives public relations The tips are three to four hundred, just guessing, drinking and drinking, and I haven't even entered the private room."
"Give a tip of 300 yuan if you didn't enter the private room?" I was a little concerned, this is really generous, "Which ladies has he ordered?"
"I never ordered it. Miss Qin arranged it for him. Whoever arranges it is whoever he arranges. He doesn't pick and choose. He will distribute money to anyone he sees. The whole gang of money-dispersing boys. Those public relations are about to fight over him. "Ah Rong's voice was full of jealousy, and he wished he could take off his overalls to do public relations in a moment, so that he could earn the three hundred yuan tip. "Wenny, if you want me to say, it's fine if you snatch that Mr. Wu over. As long as you make a move, those public relations are nothing. Mr. Wu won't even glance at them to see how frivolous they are?"
I laughed.In the club, although there is a strict hierarchy on the surface, the general manager, manager, manager assistant, general manager, supervisor, foreman, waiter and public relations lady, and the younger brothers and sisters who do odd jobs have a clear division of labor and order.But in the final analysis, whoever is the best at attracting customers is the most capable, and the one who earns the most money is the loudest, so even though Ah Rong is the foreman, Miss Hong, who is half a level lower than her, can only stare and be jealous, and can't see others making money. Tip, since I have no skills, I wish to break up and send me to kill the prestige of those ladies, so that they don't get too complacent.
There are many rich men in Meizhou, but not many real rich men.But a rich man is not equal to a "captain". Whether you can catch him or not depends on your skills.
I have a little bit of an itch.
A Rong observed his words, and hit the snake with the stick: "Just now, Mr. Wu specially ordered a song, saying that he really likes your song "Black Sunday". Please sing it twice more."
"no problem."
