Li Jianbo stood on the stage, and all the lights came on.
In fact, he dressed too casually today, a gray and white polo shirt, then blue shorts, and a pair of sandals on his feet. The hair has not been taken care of properly, and it looks a little messy. He didn't look like a performer at all, but since he stood in front of the microphone and faced the audience sitting under the stage, he would naturally look at him and listen to him quietly.
After Li Jianbo finished reading the opening remarks, his eyes had passed the crowd, and finally fell on Li Wei, and he nodded and smiled at her.
Li Wei stared at him in a daze, until Li Jianbo plucked the strings skillfully, which was a bit rusty at first, and when he found the sound, he began to play in front of everyone. After the prelude, he began to sing along: "No matter how it will end in the future, at least we have been together before. There is no need to bother to restrain each other, let alone verbal promises..."
From the moment Jianbo began to sing, Li Wei's thoughts were pulled back to the early spring of 1992. He walked into his room with the guitar and sang the piece to her. After that, he disappeared for ten years, and there was no news for ten years.
Listening to a familiar tune, she seemed to be back that day.
This piece is very short, without much skill or difficulty. Li Jianbo performed fairly well. At the end of the piece, the audience burst into applause.
Qi Jingyi whispered to Li Wei: "Jianbo is really versatile. It feels like he can't be troubled by anything."
"Maybe it is the inheritance of the Qi family."
Qi Jingyi smiled and said, "Perhaps, at the time our mother, his grandmother was a famous actor, as long as she opened her throat, the children all over the yard would be quiet."
Li Jianbo then played and sang the second song. When he played the first syllable, the following band also played with Li Jianbo.
Li Jianbo's unique and slightly dull voice came through the speaker. He sang a Cantonese song, which Li Wei didn't understand, but she thought that Li Jianbo sang very well.
"The drizzle brought wind through the streets at dusk, wiped away the rain, and looked up at the lonely night light for no reason. It is the sad memory..." When singing "I like you, the eyes are moving, and the laughter is more charming" , The guests in the venue sang along with the chorus, and the atmosphere reached its climax for a while.
Li Wei didn't know how to sing, just following the beat, looking at the stage blankly, she asked Qi Jingyi: "What exactly is the second brother singing?"
Qi Jingyi said playfully: "Guess what."
"I can't quite understand it."
"Let him tell you in person, what I conveyed doesn't count."
Li Jianbo had many glorious times in his life, but he was not full of excitement at this moment. Maybe it was the relationship that drank some wine, which seemed particularly excited.
When the two songs were finished, there was even more applause.
Li Jianbo bowed politely, then stepped back. When passing a table, a lovely girl gave Li Jianbo a fiery red rose, and said to him: "Boldly confess to the girl you like. You will be successful."
Li Jianbo smiled and said thank you, he accepted the flower.
Qi Jingyi gave Li Jianbo a thumbs up: "It really lives up to my expectations."
Li Jianbo still sat down opposite them, his face was a little hot, and when he wanted to drink something, Li Wei handed over a cup of warm white water in time. Li Jianbo also sincerely thanked her.
"Speaking of which, I really envy you young people. Whoever likes it will speak out loudly to that person. If I am still twenty years younger, I will be as crazy as you are." Qi Jingyi said, but it appeared in her mind. The high-quality young man who met in Italy has already gone nearly half of his life, and she still cannot let go of him.
Li Wei knew about Qi Jingyi’s dusty past. She poured wine into Qi Jingyi’s glass and offered her a glass of initiative:
Sister Qi, life is still a long time, so look forward.
This is Qi Jingyi just now. What he had said to Li Wei, was presented to Qi Jingyi in an instant. Then she whispered into Qi Jingyi's ear: "Do you know Sister Qi, the man sitting by the window over there?"
Qi Jingyi glanced over there. As expected, sitting in front of the dark blue curtains was a man wearing a black shirt with well-groomed hair. The man came alone, ordered a glass of tuned cocktail and drank slowly. The man looks like in his forties, but his figure is well maintained, and his hair volume looks good. Unlike some men who have a hunchback at this age, their beer belly comes out and the top of their head is bald.
Qi Jingyi said: "Of course I recognize him." This is a platinum customer of the hotel who has applied for the annual card and will stay here for half a month every year. This has been the case since she came to Beihai. The staff did not provide her with more details about this person, and she only knew that the man's surname was Feng.
The three of them sat for a while, and Li Wei felt tired and said that he was going back. Naturally, the other two did not refuse.
After checking out, I walked out of the bar. Just now I stood still. Li Jianbo wanted to find a substitute driver, but he saw that Mr. Feng also came out.
"Miss Qi!"
Qi Jingyi hurriedly turned her head and said in amazement: "Mister called me?"
"Yes, are you going back to the hotel?"
"Yes, but we all drank and it was not easy to drive..."
Before Qi Jingyi finished her words, the Mr. Feng smiled and said, "It's okay, just let my driver take you back."
The three of them got into Mr. Feng's car and they sat in the back row. Li Jianbo started talking with Mr. Feng.
"Mr. Feng is a platinum member of our hotel, right?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect President Li to recognize me. President Li is really young and promising. He doesn't look very big and he is the general manager."
Li Jianbo smiled: "I started to help my mother manage business."
"That's also a talented person, your hotel is excellent from operation to service."
The two men talked about business. Li Wei and Qi Jingyi sat next to each other without interrupting.
From the bar to the hotel is only a 20-minute drive away. After arriving, that Mr. Feng said to Qi Jingyi: "Ms. Qi is free, would you please go to the western restaurant to sit down?"
Qi Jingyi quietly refused: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Feng, the hotel has regulations, it will not be early if there is time, so I'm sorry."
Mr. Feng was obviously disappointed when he saw Qi Jingyi's refusal to agree, but his self-cultivation didn't show much here, and he still said politely: "Then I will ask Miss Qi to drink at an outside bar tomorrow, right?"
"That Mr. Feng... I may have no time to be on duty tomorrow. Let's do this tonight. Thank you very much for sending us back." Qi Jingyi leaned forward and said, then pulled Li Wei quickly to leave the guest room.
