Song Qiao arrived in Night City just as the nightlife in An City was beginning.
As soon as she got off the car, she saw a girl standing there, dressed in casual clothes, looking very stylish and fashionable, with an anxious expression on her face. Almost subconsciously, she relaxed when she saw Song Qiao, hurriedly walked up to her and said, "Song Qiao, you’ve finally come! The nightclub host from a few days ago had a car accident on the way to work, and Night City has been recruiting a new host. I’ve specifically kept an eye out for you, the job is six hours a night, from eight to two in the morning, paid daily at a thousand per day, and any tips you receive are all yours!"
Perhaps, a thousand is just a base salary, if one could establish a foothold as a nightclub host in Night City, there would be a higher income.
Song Qiao naturally knew that anyone who wanted to make it in Night City had to go through a process of improvement, and she nodded her head to show she understood.
A daily salary of one thousand might not seem much to many people in An City, but for Song Qiao, it was already enough. That’s thirty thousand a month, not including any tips from gratuities.
The surgery for her grandfather could not be delayed any longer; she needed to strive hard to gather the five hundred thousand needed for the surgery.
Night City owned the most famous, largest, and most luxurious night club in An City, which also included bars and KTVs that attracted the upscale society to come and enjoy nightlife. Those who came to Night City were either rich and distinguished, famous corporate directors or leaders, wealthy gentlemen, or well-known celebrities.
The manager of Night City’s bar was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. When the girl took Song Qiao to him, he was arranging tasks for some staff.
Seeing Song Qiao, he paused slightly, then pointed at Song Qiao and asked the girl, "Are you sure she can do it?"
Perhaps it was because Song Qiao was still in her office wear, plus she looked to be only in her twenties, with a delicate and pretty appearance; she seemed like a good girl who would stay at home or go to cafe, not the type to be at a nightclub.
However, the manager was not wrong, Song Qiao indeed had never been to a nightclub. The only places she had been were KTVs, and that too because she was forced to attend parties. This was her first time coming to such a chaotic place as a nightclub.
When she first entered, her heart was pounding, wanting to back out and leave immediately, but the thought of her grandfather’s surgery promptly suppressed that thought.
Night clubs have always been a complicated place where anything could happen, such as drug use, fighting, and harassment.
However, Night City was comparatively well managed, the first was possible to happen, the second had a very small chance of occurring, and the last one wouldn’t be a problem unless it happened in full view of everyone.
Just as the manager finished speaking, before the girl could say anything, Song Qiao stepped forward, firmly saying, "Manager, I can do it!"
Perhaps it was the determined expression on her face, the manager ultimately nodded and then asked, "Can you sing?"
Song Qiao was startled, thought for a moment, then nodded, "A little!"
"Alright, you’ll go on a trial run later, and if you can do it, you’ll stay for tonight and be paid for a full day!"
Song Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, quickly nodded her thanks, and was then taken by someone arranged by the manager to change clothes and prepare to perform. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel·fire·net
Tonight, Gu Xicheng was in Night City to have fun with some of his friends and business partners.
He didn’t often come to places , first because he didn’t have the time, and second because he didn’t like such a bit smoky environment; he preferred to be alone with a ten-kilogram law book.
Night City’s bar had a huge dance floor and a small stage, both the scene and the settings were extremely exquisite. To provide a suitable environment for those negotiating business, Night City also had several rooms on the second floor with floor-to-ceiling windows that overviewed the scene below.
Gu Xicheng was sitting in one of the rooms on the second floor with his friends, from where he could see the entire area below.
The crowd below suddenly quieted down as a slim girl in a sleeveless evening dress walked onto the stage holding a microphone.
When the girl appeared, the surrounding area immediately erupted with whistles and screams, as if mesmerized by the girl on stage.
Song Qiao nervously walked onto the small stage, placed the microphone in front of her, her palms sweaty, she took a deep breath before starting to speak the opening lines as instructed by the manager.
The girl’s clear, soft voice resonated, echoing in every corner of Night City’s bar. Gu Xicheng, who was about to pick up his drink, froze and incredulously looked down upon hearing this voice.
"Young Master Gu, the host of Night City tonight is a beauty!" A playboy whistled next to him, smiling as he observed Song Qiao below, "She looks quite innocent and seems young too!"
The glass in Night City is designed with a magnifying effect, so the view from above was exceptionally clear.
Gu Xicheng narrowed his eyes at the somewhat nervous Song Qiao on the stage, downed the drink in his hand, and instructed the person next to him, "Call Young Master Lu, tell him his wife is in Night City!"
