Chapter 181 - Boss Li, Don’t Go! This was a Misunderstanding! (1/2)

The hand that Pei Qian was using to hold his phone shook furiously.

What did he mean by ‘congratulations?!

Pei Qian kept his phone and walked briskly to the second floor. There was a small, private movie hall on the second floor. People could also use it to watch television shows.

Li Shi was nervous as well.

What was going on?

Seeing Pei Qian’s movements and expressions, Li Shi guessed that the phone call was very serious. Five minutes after Pei Qian left, Li Shi got up from his seat and pretended to saunter to the second floor.

There were two levels in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. Both had an internet cafe area and a coffee area. There were two or three customers on the second floor now, too. That was why nobody paid much attention to Li Shi when he went upstairs.

The private movie hall was meant for screening movies. However, since nobody was watching anything at that moment, Pei Qian switched on Shanghai’s satellite television program.

The moment the image changed, Pei Qian was stunned.

On the huge screen, Chen Lei’s figure appeared! He was standing in front of a microphone, strumming his guitar and singing passionately.

“On a quiet night, I walked on the street.

“In the dim light, you waited.

“In the hustle and bustle of the city, only you understand my sorrows.

“No matter how far I drifted, I never forgot you and that intoxicating wine…”

The melody was already moving, but Chen Lei’s unique voice made the indolence in this song much more vivid. The song was slow. There was a special touch of humanity and life in it, but it also felt faintly sorrowful. It was quite an unforgettable song.

Bang!

One of the teachers excitedly hit the light in front of him.

Bang!

Bang! Bang!

Chen Lei had only sung a couple of sentences, but once he got to the chorus, all for teachers had turned!

Pei Qian looked closely at the title of this program.

The Voice of China!

Pei Qian, “???”

As he watched the big screen, Pei Qian fell into a state of shock. He began to doubt his own memory.

What was going on?

If I remember correctly, The Voice of China only started in the Year 2012, right? What’s more, it didn’t start as a Shanghai satellite television program. Was the disaster of Aili Island happening all over again?

Pei Qian immediately understood. It was no wonder that Huang Sibo called him himself!

Huang Sibo knew that Chen Lei was a singer produced by Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. What’s more, Boss Pei had carefully instructed them to take good care of him. It was obvious that their relationship was extraordinary.

Now, Chen Lei had shown his face on a national television program. Of course, Huang Sibo had to inform Pei Qian.

Li Shi found a corner to sit down on the second floor. He pretended to look out the window to appreciate the scenery. However, in actual fact, he was focusing on the screen.

When he saw Chen Lei, Li Shi heaved a sigh of relief.

“It was a false alarm. I was overthinking.

“Chen Lei was once the resident singer here. He’s on good terms with the people in this cafe. It doesn’t seem like a big deal that Boss Pei rushed upstairs to watch him on television as his friend.

“Wait…

“Something’s wrong!”

Li Shi suddenly realized the severity of this problem. There was no way he could remain calm any longer!

Chen Lei was already finished with his song. However, the applause and cheering continued.

“Hello, Teachers. I am Chen Lei, from Jingzhou.”

After obtaining some simple information about Chen Lei, one of the teachers went straight to the point. “I noticed that the name of this song is Waiting. It’s a love song. When you sang it earlier, I wanted to say that the lyrics are very nicely written! These are lyrics written by someone with a story.
