80: Give a piano

A beautiful night always seems especially short. Wu Fan woke up, and it was already eight-thirty in the morning.

He turned to look at Qian Ning, who was sleeping soundly like a baby.

He leaned down and gently kissed her ear, stretched, and got up to wash.

He walked to the window to smoke, only to find that snowflakes were drifting outside.

He felt a sudden, inexplicable joy.

He would never forget that on the day the System descended, the sky was also filled with falling snowflakes.

He exhaled a puff of smoke, and as he stared at the snowflakes, Qian Ning suddenly called out from the room, "Brother Fan, your phone is ringing."

Wu Fan quickly took a few more drags from his cigarette, extinguished it in the glass ashtray, and then jogged into the room.

Picking up his phone, he saw it was Fei Wei calling.

As soon as he answered, Fei Wei said, "Wu Fan, what are you doing? Haven't seen you in days!"

Wu Fan looked up at Qian Ning; she was holding the quilt, looking at him a little shyly.

"Nothing much, just playing around in Hunan Province."

Fei Wei shrieked, "Oh my god, you live the life! Are you on another date with a beautiful woman? It's not that I want to lecture you, brother, but save your money, invest more, don't spend all your time on women."

Wu Fan winked at Qian Ning, walked out of the room, and said, "Brother, I know. What's up, calling me so early?"

"You said last time you'd find a resident singer for the bar, that wasn't a joke, was it? Have you found one yet?"

Wu Fan walked to the window, looking at the snowy scenery, and said, "She'll arrive in Island City today. I'll ask her what time and you can pick her up."

Fei Wei said in surprise, "Really? You found one? Is she pretty? What talents does she have?"

Wu Fan cursed, "You're such a character. It's already great that she's willing to come and sing, why ask for so many things?"

Fei Wei chuckled, "Alright, hurry up and ask what time she arrives."

"Oh, right. She plays the piano, so the bar needs to have a piano."

"Oh my god, Brother Wu Fan, buying a piano is a bit much, isn't it? Do you know the price of a decent piano? We can't just get a junk one, right?"

Wu Fan exhaled a puff of smoke, "If you're short on cash, just tell me, brother. I can sponsor one."

Fei Wei said, "Forget it, it's already great that you found a resident singer for me. I'll talk to Grass Chicken about getting a piano. Putting it in the corner of the stage would actually be quite classy, right?"

Wu Fan laughed heartily, then transferred fifty thousand over, saying, "The piano is on me. Just let me drink for free at the bar from now on, how about it?"

Fei Wei looked at the wechat transfer, "Drinking for free is just a word. But brother, spend your money carefully. Don't spend it all at once. You still need to get married, you know?"

Wu Fan chuckled, "Stop the nonsense, just accept it. Brother really isn't short on money now. I've invested in many projects early on, and they've already started making profits."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.

Fei Wei stared at the transfer, stunned for a moment, thinking, "I'll just keep it for now. Consider it a loan from Wu Fan. He spends all his time with women, he'll run out of money sooner or later. Then I can pay him back, maybe even help him out in an emergency!"

Thinking this, he immediately accepted the money.

Wu Fan asked Tang Xiaorou, "{What time does your plane land?}"

Tang Xiaorou asked, "{Eleven o'clock. Brother Fan, are you coming to pick me up?}"

Wu Fan said, "{Sorry, I'm on a business trip in Hunan Province! I'll have the bar owner, Fei Wei, pick you up. I'll send you his contact number now.}"

Tang Xiaorou sent a sad emoji.

Wu Fan transferred five thousand over and said, "{This is the penalty for not picking you up. Brother will be back in Island City in a few days, then I'll treat you to something delicious, okay?}"

Tang Xiaorou saw it and was delighted. As long as Wu Fan transferred money, nothing else mattered. He was so generous. "{Alright, I'll wait for you to come back.}"

...Qian Ning hugged Wu Fan from behind and said softly, "Brother Fan, you're so focused talking to that beautiful woman."

Wu Fan felt a warmth and a delicate fragrance. "You're awake? Hurry and wash up, let's go have breakfast."

Qian Ning hugged him a little tighter. "You still haven't answered my question."

"She's the resident singer for One Foot Sea Bar. I met her online, we've never even met in person. You're not going to be jealous too, are you?"

Qian Ning smiled faintly, kissed Wu Fan's neck, and swayed her perky hips towards the bathroom.

Wu Fan looked back, swallowed, and thought, her figure is really good.

Last night during the massage, her touch was so comfortable... The hotel's buffet breakfast was very rich, with both Chinese and Western options.

Wu Fan liked to eat natural whole grains.

He took a sweet potato, a section of yam, a fried egg, a cup of yogurt, a piece of corn, half a banana, a few cherry tomatoes, and five chive steamed dumplings.

Qian Ning, however, was completely opposite, preferring Western pastries.

She took chocolate cake, toast, bacon, grilled sausage, cheese slices, cream-filled cake, juice, and more.

The two looked at each other and smiled, curious about each other's breakfast... They returned to Qian Ning's room together. As they opened the door, Teacher Chen Liyun also opened her door.

She saw Wu Fan, a little surprised, and asked, "Wu Fan, when did you arrive? Have you had breakfast?"

Wu Fan was calm and composed. "Just arrived."

Qian Ning's pretty face flushed slightly, and she interjected, "Teacher Chen, we've eaten, you haven't yet, have you?"

Chen Liyun hummed in acknowledgment, waved, and walked towards the elevator.

Wu Fan sat down on the tatami in the room and asked, "Is Teacher Chen Liyun married?"

Qian Ning asked warily, "Why? You haven't fallen for Teacher Chen, have you?"

Wu Fan laughed and said, "What are you thinking? She's a big star; I'm just curious."

Qian Ning poured Wahaha mineral water into a kettle and began to boil it.

"Teacher Chen isn't married yet. She's very busy, either in rehearsal or performing. Where would she find time to date?"

Wu Fan paused and said, "What a pity, dedicating her youth to Yue Opera art."

Qian Ning retorted, "What's a pity?"

"Looking at her, she shouldn't be young anymore, right? Not having love in her prime, isn't that a pity?"

Qian Ning nodded, "Sigh, now that you mention it, it does seem a bit like that. She's already approaching thirty. Do you know any outstanding men? Could you introduce one to Teacher Chen?"

Wu Fan shamelessly said, "Yes, I am."

Upon hearing this, Qian Ning ran over and lightly hit Wu Fan's chest, saying, "You wish."

Wu Fan, however, laughed heartily and said, "Among the men I know, only I am the most outstanding."

Qian Ning gave him a beautiful glare, "Just keep boasting."

Wu Fan pulled out a cigarette, lit it, and asked, "When are you going to the TV station?"

"We'll go as soon as Teacher Chen finishes breakfast. We probably need to rehearse one more time."

Wu Fan exhaled a puff of smoke, "Give me the ticket first."

Qian Ning took out a ticket from her hanging bag. "Keep it safe."

Wu Fan asked, "What else do I need to bring to watch your competition?"

Qian Ning thought for a moment, then put her arms around Wu Fan's neck and said, "Just buy a beautiful bouquet of flowers. If I win an award, you have to come on stage and present them to me, okay?"

Wu Fan kissed her cherry lips. "Alright, no problem."
