Chapter 410: The Second Stop: Xi Bin Fen KTVx

Maybe it was because everyone was tired after a whole day of meetings. Or maybe this occasion was simply about having a meal together.

Although there were some toasts during the meal, it was all done just for courtesy. Both sides exchanged a few words, caught up a bit, and expressed their gratitude, and that was it.

As a junior, Chen Jianhai took the initiative to toast everyone. However, what surprised him was that not only did Wang Bocai have an additional drink with him, but Qin Li also took the initiative to toast him as well.

This made him feel a bit flattered.

The meal didn't last too long; after about two hours, one of the industry leaders humbly suggested, "I'll host tonight. Let's go to my KTV."

Chen Jianhai's eyes lit up! He knew there was more to come!! Before he came, he was invited out by Huang Baichuan under the pretext of a dance training class hosted by the Nanjiang boss.

After eating and drinking, wasn't it only natural to sing, dance, and digest?

Otherwise, people, as they get older, tend to get indigestion if they just sit around after a full meal~~~

He looked over at Huang Baichuan, and through their eye contact, he became even more certain of his guess.

Chen Jianhai: Are we going to dance?

Huang Baichuan: Yes!

...

Xibinfen Karaoke Box.

Xibinfen Karaoke Box is located at the heart of Nanjiang's central business district, with convenient transportation, right next to the new site of Nanjiang Radio and Television Building.

Magnificent, luxurious, elegant, and adorned with golden touches, it offers an extraordinary artistic atmosphere amidst glittering lights and recreates the noble style of European palaces. It's a unique high-end dining and entertainment venue in Nanjiang.

Back in the day, Chen Jianhai, Xiao Lang, and Xu Bo often contributed their "ghostly howls" in this place at night.

A line of cars pulled up in front of Xibinfen, and Chen Jianhai got out of the car. He looked up at the huge building in front of him, then at the middle-aged man with only a few strands of hair on his head.

It was hard for him to imagine that one day he would be singing with the owner of this KTV.

"He's already invited us to sing, should I take the initiative later and invite everyone to stay at my hotel tonight?" 

Chen Jianhai pondered quickly, but after thinking about it, he felt it wasn't necessary. After all, these people were all locals in Nanjiang. Not going home after drinking and instead staying at a hotel just didn't seem right.

As he was contemplating this, the owner of Xibinfen was already leading the group into the establishment.

They took the elevator, walked down a dazzling golden corridor, and entered a luxurious private room that Chen Jianhai had never entered before, not even during group buys.

The private room had two levels. The first floor had sofas, main and auxiliary screens for singing, and a song selection station. From the staircase, one could see a few pool tables on the second floor. Next to them, a wine cabinet was filled with a variety of high-end wines, seemingly available to take freely.

"Pick a song!"

As soon as they entered the room, someone shouted, and the lights in the private room dimmed. The sound of champagne bottles popping echoed, followed by someone singing:

"Hoooong~~~ Yan!"

"In the sky oh so high, flying in a row~"

"Rivers are long, autumn grass is yellow,"

"The prairie's music is full of sorrow…"

Chen Jianhai raised an eyebrow.

Indeed! The power of music is limitless! As soon as this song started, it instantly transported the entire room back to that passionate, tragic, and righteous era.

The KTV staff walked in with fruit platters, snacks, and beer, placed them down gently, and quickly left.

Perhaps it was the protection of the music, or maybe it was the room's lighting and atmosphere that gave people a sense of privacy.

After entering the private room, these industry leaders visibly relaxed.

Some gathered in groups of two or three, holding their drinks and chatting enthusiastically, while others stood aside, engaging in quiet conversations.

It was clear that the restaurant earlier was just a place to eat and rest. This KTV was the real stage for tonight.

"Cheers!"

Three guys on the left side suddenly clinked their glasses enthusiastically, downing their drinks in one go. 

Chen Jianhai looked at them with some envy and let out a small sigh in his heart.

Alas, with such loud background music, his small wish to hear some gossip or stock tips was shattered.

"Screw it, I'm not going to back down!"

"What's so great about singing Hong Yan? Let me show you guys 'Song of the Sentinels'!"

With that thought, Chen Jianhai sprang up from the sofa and picked the song "Song of the Sentinels" at the song selection station.

However, after selecting the song, he couldn't just sit there eating dried squid like a fool! Since Huang Baichuan had brought him here, he had to take the initiative to socialize.

Chen Jianhai scanned the room and finally set his sights on Wang Bocai, who had just come out of the restroom.

This was the person who had proactively toasted him during dinner, so he could definitely break the ice with him!

"Mr. Wang, may I propose a toast to you?" Chen Jianhai approached Wang Bocai with a glass of wine, a friendly and humble smile on his face.

Seeing that it was Chen Jianhai, Wang Bocai smiled warmly and raised his glass enthusiastically.

"Mr. Chen, you're quite accomplished at such a young age!"

"My daughter's wedding was held at your Langai Hotel, and it was done very well!"

The two clinked glasses, and after drinking, Wang Bocai said with some regret:

"It's a pity we couldn't finalize the deal for the waters north of Xiaomajia Island, but there will be many opportunities in the future."

"If Mr. Chen has any good leads, don't forget to contact me."

Wang Bocai spoke sincerely, with a strong sense of camaraderie in his words.

Chen Jianhai, being quick-witted, immediately said, "Mr. Wang, shall we exchange contact information and add each other on WeChat?"

Wang Bocai smiled, "Sure!"

With that, Wang Bocai took out his phone, and the two of them exchanged WeChat contacts.

"Are you adding Mr. Chen as a friend too?" A voice suddenly came from behind Chen Jianhai.

Chen Jianhai turned around and saw Qin Li sitting beside him, "Come on, Mr. Chen, let's add each other too, so we can stay in touch!"

Hearing that the chairman of Nanjiang Digital Dynamic Game Development Company wanted to add him on WeChat, Chen Jianhai gladly added her.

"Mr. Chen, how come your rank is still Silver?" 

Not long after they added each other, Qin Li's voice sounded from beside him.

Silver? Chen Jianhai leaned over and saw that she was checking his game stats.

"My rank is already pretty good. There are plenty of people below me." Chen Jianhai bragged, not taking it seriously.

Qin Li, who seemed to be in her 40s, probably didn't have much time to play games and didn't understand this stuff.

Qin Li looked puzzled and asked Chen Jianhai, "Are there that many people in Bronze now?"

Chen Jianhai shamelessly boasted, "Ha! There are tons of people in Bronze!"

"Not to brag, but if I wanted to, I could drop to Bronze in no time."
