C30 Think of Yourself as a Background Music

I need to find a part-time job as soon as possible. I need to save enough money to redeem my jade bracelet. Otherwise, I'm really worried that someone will buy my jade bracelet.

The money from a two-day part-time job on the weekend can only be used to save money for my future rental. I need to find a job after work every day. But I always work close to 7 pm, so at this late hour, what can I do part-time?

I thought of the 24-hour convenience store. They would hire a part-time night job, but they would have to work all night, and it would only be 10 yuan an hour, which meant I wouldn't sleep all night, maybe I would only get 100 yuan, and I would have to go to work the next day. If I didn't sleep all night, I would definitely die during the day.

There were also some special jobs online. For example, the webcaster had actually listed it as 800 RMB per hour! I was very excited, but I was worried that there would be some special requirements, such as a naked host.

Now that he thought about it, he gave up on this part-time job as a streamer.

After searching for three days, I finally found a rather reliable part-time job.

It urgently enlisted a restaurant to stand and sing, asking girls to sing pop songs.

I looked at the address. It was near a subway station in the center of the city, and it only cost me three hundred dollars a day, working from eight to eleven o'clock at night.

I calculated that if I went four days a week, 1600 dollars a week, 6,400 dollars a month, plus the money for singing, I would be able to redeem the bracelet in a matter of months.

At this thought, I couldn't help but get excited and quickly made a call to the dining room.

The owner asked me to interview him after work.

There were three girls interviewed with me. The first girl had her hair dyed red. The boss listened to her and told her to go down before she finished singing.

The second one is a girl from the Music Academy. I feel that the owner of the restaurant will definitely choose her because she really sings very well. Furthermore, the typhoon is also very good. It suits this restaurant quite well.

"Su Zi Meng, it's your turn." The boss asked me to come up, but I was a bit timid and didn't have the confidence to come to the restaurant in the first place.

Although I have also participated in some singing competitions in university, but compared to the previous female student from the Music Academy, I am far inferior.

"What song are you going to sing?"

"What I chose was' Coward 'from Rong Zu'er."

The owner nodded.

Honestly speaking, this is the first time that I have sung Cantonese songs in the public court. Although I have been in Guangzhou for four years, my Cantonese language still stumbles.

Halfway through the song, the boss asked me to stop. I knew that I was hopeless, after all, I was not a professional, and my Cantonese words were not clear, so I had to choose a Cantonese song in order to meet the demand of the restaurant.

I was looking for a new part-time job, but a few days later I got another call from the owner, asking me to come to the restaurant tonight to sing.

"What about that student from the Music Academy from before?" Is she not singing? "

"She said that she will be participating in a competition soon. Teacher wants all the contestants to be training together, so she can't come for the time being."

I suddenly felt a surge of joy. Could it be that even the heavens pitied me and wanted to lend me a hand?

My beloved bracelet, you must wait for me, I will soon be able to redeem you.

There were a lot of guests in the restaurant this Friday, and I was a bit nervous. After all, I had never sung at such an occasion before.

Fortunately, most of the guests ate and chatted mainly, no one listened to my singing seriously throughout the whole process, so I soon got used to the atmosphere.

Think of yourself as a background music.

After ten o'clock, the guests gradually dispersed. More customers came to drink, and some of them started to order songs.

I looked at the song list and was shocked, "The Man with the Saddle", "Can't Wound", and the famous square dance music "The Most Brilliant Chinese Style".

"I don't know how to sing, what should I do?" I helplessly looked at the boy who played the electronic zither. He also came to work part-time. After finishing up this restaurant every night, he still had to go to another bar to work part-time.

"If you can't sing, then ignore it. Pick a song that you can sing."

"But will the customer be angry?" I was worried that if the guest couldn't hear his own song, he would coax me off the stage.

"That won't happen, hurry up and confirm the song. The guests are urging."

I had to pick out one of these pieces of paper that I could sing.

Halfway through the song, someone suddenly shouted, "Let's not listen to this song. Hurry up and sing the Phoenix Legend!"

I was stunned on the stage, the electronic violinist gave me a few looks, I didn't even react.

To be honest, I've never seen anything like this before. I don't even know how to deal with it.

The guests below the stage saw me standing on the stage and not singing, so they 'shushed' me even more. There were even a few people who directly told me to scram.

The head storekeeper hurried onto the stage and explained to his customers.

I was dragged backstage, and the shop manager started cursing.

"Who told you not to sing? Are you blind? Can't you see that the customers are all angry?"

"I... I... I heard my guest ask me to change the song. " I quietly tried to defend myself, but the shop manager got even angrier and continued to scold while pointing at my nose.

"He just wanted you to change songs, not to stop you from singing. How could you be so stupid? You don't even know how to deal with such a situation."

"I... "I …" I didn't know what to say, but the boy who played the electronic zither next to me helped me out.

"Forget it, Manager. The newbie will make some small mistakes. Give her another chance, I think she's singing pretty well, and you won't be able to find a lead singer to replace her tonight."

The shop manager was reminded by the cello player that he couldn't find someone to sing in my place, so he let me continue on the stage.

"I'm warning you, you better sing well. If that situation happens again, you will immediately scram."

I nodded and gave the pianist a grateful look.

"Thank you."

"No need, everyone has their first time. The first time I made a show was even funnier. I was actually faster than a few singers at filming, causing the singers to sing faster and faster, haha." As I laughed, I laughed along.

Suddenly, I wasn't as nervous as I was before.

"Anyway, no matter what the customer says, you have to finish the entire song. You have to have the cheek to do this line, we are already used to it. I have even seen people throwing eggs at singers' faces, and they will still sing the song as a whole."

"Eggs?" I gasped. No one's going to throw an egg in my face.

"Don't worry, the owner of this restaurant is the boss of this street. No one would be so stupid as to stir up a commotion in his restaurant. At most, they would just make a commotion. Just pretend you didn't hear anything and continue singing." The zither player urged me to get ready, or the shop manager would start swearing again.
