Chapter 321 Too Many Girls

It's May Day now, and there are still two months until summer vacation in July.

We must get the instrument learning classes up and running within two months, and try to start them during the summer vacation.

Oh no! No way! The Ocean Shipping Ballroom can only accommodate classes for one type of musical instrument.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this space is quite large. If all the instrument classes are held here, and there are no partitions, it'll be a complete mess with all the clanging and banging!

Behind the Haiyun Dance Hall is a long-abandoned courtyard, which used to be a small factory run by the local government. It seems to have been abandoned for three or four years.

Let's see if we can rent it, renovate it, and use it as a school.

In two years, when the local government starts to vigorously promote real estate, take the opportunity to buy this land. Even without selling the land in the future, you can still make a lot of money.

Liang Liang called Xing Chenghu over and asked him to accompany her for a walk around the back of the Haiyun Dance Hall.

Despite having spent a considerable amount of time at the Ocean Shipping Ballroom, he never actually returned after that.

Behind the Maritime Ballroom is an old residential area, full of ordinary houses that all look almost identical. You can tell at a glance which state-owned enterprise built the residential area.

The abandoned factory was next to the west corner of the Ocean Shipping Ballroom, separated by a street more than four meters wide.

Liang Liang and Xing Chenghu stood at the gate of the abandoned factory, looking into the yard.

The rusty iron gate was chained together, and a large padlock hung on the chain.

The only way to open this lock in the future is with a hammer. Even if you have a key, don't expect to be able to open it; it's already rusted shut.

The withered grass in the yard has been replaced by newly sprouted green grass, making it a lush green expanse. It is a yard that is more than a hundred meters wide, but you can't see how deep it is. The houses inside are dilapidated, and the roofs of many houses have collapsed.

Liang Liang's mind scanned the area from left to right like a rotating radar.

Although this place is now desolate, it doesn't have that depressing feeling, which means it's a good place.

When Liang Liang arrives at a place he has never been before, he places great faith in his first impression. If the unfamiliar place gives him a sense of comfort and familiarity, then it can become a place for him to settle down.

Conversely, if a place gives him an awkward or repulsive feeling at first glance, then that place is usually not his lucky place.

Just like Zheng Tuo's Hongkou dance hall, he only went there once.

Your first impression on him was that you just looked awkward, so he never went there a second time.

He had originally intended to go into the courtyard to take a look, but seeing the shards of glass scattered haphazardly on the stone walls made him give up the idea.

After returning to his office, Liang Liang called Mu Shuihua into his office.

"Sister Hua! I have a task for you: try to find out who owns that abandoned factory behind our dance hall, and then try to find out how much it would cost to rent it."

Mu Shuihua asked with some confusion, "You want to rent that dilapidated factory? What do you want to do with it?"

"Of course it's useful! Why would I ask it if it weren't?"

"good!"

"Brother Bi Sheng, I'm planning to transfer him to another job. What's your opinion?"

"Where will you be transferred to?"

"South! I can probably come back three or four times a year."

"What! Why are we being transferred to the south?"

"I'm planning to open a women's music academy in the south and send him to be the principal," Liang Liang said casually.

Mu Shuihua curled her lip: "His skills are nothing special?"

"Your disapproval doesn't mean I don't. Your failure to recognize his talent doesn't mean he isn't talented. I'm more worried that once he gets there, surrounded by beautiful women, you, the old hag, might lose your position."

"Really? That's great! I was just thinking of changing the movies. I can't even eat anymore looking at his old face all the time."

This approach doesn't seem to work on Mu Shuihua.

"Hehe! You say you're incredibly strong, but you're actually extremely nervous inside. Don't worry! I was just teasing you. But it's true that I'm transferring him to a different job. I set up a small shop earlier, and I'm planning to sell some things there. He'll be in charge of that. As for the cleaning work in the nightclub, we can just hire two middle-aged women from the community to do it. You can decide how much to pay them!"

"Wait a minute! Regardless of what you're going to sell up front, selling goods is a clean and easy job, but how much are you going to pay us? Let's be upfront and settle this later. We won't do it for less."

Bi Sheng earns 400 yuan a month doing cleaning, which Mu Shuihua is quite satisfied with.

The couple earns 1,200 yuan a month here, and she is very content.

I've been transferred to a light and clean job, but if the salary is low, I'll have to think about it.

"The basic salary for selling goods up front is 300 yuan, but there's a sales commission. For every 100 yuan of profit, he gets 10% as commission. What do you think of this?"

"Do you think I don't know what you're going to sell?"

"This is a secret for now, but you'll find out soon enough. I can say this: if Brother Bi Sheng does a good job, he'll definitely earn more money than you!"

Although he didn't know what to sell and was unsure of what to sell, Mu Shuihua and Liang Liang still believed him without a doubt. If he could say something like that, it was probably pretty accurate.

So she stopped objecting.

Liang Liang came out of the office and into the studio.

The studio was bustling with activity as more than a dozen young bands took turns performing. After each band finished a song, the members of the other bands would start analyzing it, which meant finding fault with it in a teasing tone.

"Your guitar playing is terrible; your strumming sounds like you're sweeping the streets."

"His guitar playing is alright, but didn't you guys hear how badly he played the keyboard? I just realized something today: his father must be a cotton fluffer!"

When they got to the funny parts, they burst into laughter.

Liang Liang felt a surge of warmth upon seeing this scene.

Playing in a band should have this kind of atmosphere. A cheerful mood is what inspires creativity. If you're lifeless all day long, you'll only be able to find inspiration by smoking marijuana.

Upon seeing Liang Liang arrive, the members of the Azalea Band immediately surrounded him.

"Xiao Liang! Brother Liu said you're a great guitarist, but I've never seen you play before. Show us your skills!" Zhang Yu looked at him with teary eyes and asked softly.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. He hasn't played guitar in a long time and has forgotten how."

"That's impossible! Guitars and basses look almost the same. You play bass so well, how could you forget the guitar? You have to play one."

Zhang Ling poked her little head out from between the two members of the Azalea Band and shared her opinion.

Liang Liang looked at Liu Yuyong: "Brother Liu! Why are you betraying us again?"

"I can't stand these girls bothering me anymore, what else can I do but turn to you?"

People usually complain that they don't have enough girls pursuing them, but here comes another one who thinks she has too many.
