553: Dance Hall
It was confirmed that Qian Ziyong could produce the Super Battery, and that his technology was genuine.
Five trillion chinese yuan was quickly transferred to the Feihuang Group's account.
At the same time, all Feihuang Plaza construction projects began operating at full capacity.
People suddenly noticed that the construction speed of Feihuang Plaza was many times faster than before.
Workers, dressed in military uniforms, appeared out of nowhere and busied themselves on the Feihuang Plaza construction sites.
Simultaneously, they also observed that most of the city's other construction seemed to slow down.
No, it wasn't just a slowdown; it came to a complete halt.
Some buildings that were under construction were stopped, as workers received orders to go build Feihuang Plaza instead.
Workers were very willing to build Feihuang Plaza because they could get paid daily.
The original projects were halted, and the project owners were given a certain amount of financial compensation.
The owners had no objections, well… they wouldn't dare to have objections!
Time passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, three months had gone by.
Sakura Country, Feihuang Group Branch.
Countless Chinese people were working diligently here.
Although they were in Sakura Country, the surrounding streets and their living quarters were no different from being in Chinese.
This was specially arranged for them by Shanjing Village Entrance, the General Manager of the Feihuang Group Branch, to ensure they lived comfortably and securely.
The Feihuang Group Branch closed at 2 PM, with employees working two shifts, from 9 AM to 11 PM.
Each day, they worked six hours with a one-hour break in between.
"Brother Zhang, I heard a new karaoke bar opened. Want to go check it out together?" a young man with short hair and a lewd smile on his face asked.
The young man called Brother Li, Zhang Zhiyong, shook his head, "Forget it, I'm not interested in that place."
The short-haired young man said, "What are you thinking?"
"It's legitimate, very legitimate."
"I heard President Qian issued an order that we are absolutely not allowed to engage in anything illicit here."
"So the entertainment venues General Manager Shanjing Village Entrance prepared for us are all clean."
"Even if some illicit activities are legal here, Shanjing Village Entrance absolutely forbids them."
"As long as it's in this vicinity, there isn't a single illicit shop."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhiyong felt relieved.
The young man, Zhuang Hongde, persuaded again, "Brother Zhang, didn't you used to say you liked Sakura Country girls?"
"The girls at the karaoke bar, I heard they're only twenty years old, and their looks, their figures, tsk tsk..."
"I heard they're all college students..."
Zhang Zhiyong hesitated for a moment, "Then, shall we go take a look?"
"Alright!" Zhuang Hongde said excitedly, reminding him, "Brother Zhang, it's best if you wear your Feihuang Group uniform directly."
"I heard the Feihuang Group uniform has a bonus effect on girls."
Zhang Zhiyong looked at his yellow and white uniform in surprise.
This uniform couldn't be called ugly, but it definitely wasn't good-looking.
Girls would like it if he wore a uniform? Are Sakura Country girls really that unique?
...
In the afternoon, after Zhang Zhiyong ate at Feihuang Restaurant, he went to the karaoke bar with Zhuang Hongde.
He had been playing games all day at home, which was indeed a bit boring. Now, going to a place with many girls, Zhang Zhiyong, who had been single for twenty-five years, felt a little excited.
He also felt a bit uneasy.
Why uneasy?
Because he was ugly.
Yes.
He was 1.65 meters tall, with dark skin and not-so-regular features.
Even though Zhang Zhiyong really didn't want to face this reality, he had to.
In this era where appearance is justice, he had very little luck with women.
Zhang Zhiyong noticed that Zhuang Hongde was also wearing a uniform.
Zhuang Hongde explained, "Just wear the uniform the first time you go. If you meet a girl you like, you won't need to wear the uniform the second time!"
Zhang Zhiyong scratched his head, still feeling that wearing a uniform was somewhat unreliable.
Although Zhuang Hongde seemed a bit roguish, he was actually very reliable.
This was why he trusted Zhuang Hongde.
Besides, the uniform wasn't ugly.
Could it be uglier than him?
Soon, the two of them arrived at the karaoke bar.
Many people were standing at the entrance, waiting in line.
With just a glance, Zhang Zhiyong could tell they were Sakura Country people.
He didn't expect this place to be so popular!
Zhang Zhiyong noticed that the line didn't seem to be moving much.
Maybe they would have to wait a long time?
However, a large crowd to some extent proved that this place should be good.
Zhuang Hongde pulled his sleeve, "Brother Zhang, this way."
A group of girls stood at the entrance, exuding youthful vitality. Seeing them approach, they immediately came forward.
Especially when facing Zhang Zhiyong, they were much more enthusiastic than with Zhuang Hongde.
"This girl..." Zhang Zhiyong saw a round-faced girl and froze there.
This girl looked so much like his first love.
Well... not exactly first love, but his first crush.
When he was in high school, the most beautiful girl in his class looked so much like her.
That girl was his pure and innocent love.
But Zhang Zhiyong knew that with his appearance and family background, it would be impossible for him to have any interaction with her after graduating from high school.
He heard that after she graduated, she married a short, ugly, and fat middle-aged boss.
He had been heartbroken for a long time because of that!
Zhang Zhiyong stared at the girl for a while and noticed that the girl was also looking at him. Zhang Zhiyong shyly lowered his head.
He was twenty-five and had never even held a girl's hand.
Zhang Zhiyong lowered his head, feeling puzzled.
"What's going on?"
Zhuang Hongde was so much more handsome than him, so why did the girls prefer him?
The girls surrounding him were clearly prettier and more numerous.
Zhuang Hongde said, "It's seventy chinese yuan an hour here, Brother Zhang. Play as much as you want, it's my treat!"
Zhang Zhiyong shook his head, "How about I pay this time, and you pay next time?"
The seventy Zhuang Hongde mentioned was in chinese yuan.
That's right, all shops within a one-kilometer radius here accepted direct payment in chinese yuan.
Being escorted inside by a group of girls, Zhang Zhiyong felt like he had arrived in heaven.
At the same time, he couldn't understand why the line over there was so long, yet they could go straight in.
As if sensing Zhang Zhiyong's confusion, a girl gently explained in Chinese, "To ensure service quality, there's a limit to the number of people allowed inside."
"Then..." Zhang Zhiyong scratched his head, not knowing what to say.
He had cut in line, it wouldn't be good to remind her.
The girl smiled and said, "You are an employee of Feihuang Group, a line leader?"
When she said the two words 'line leader', it was clearly a bit awkward, and she said it very slowly.
Zhang Zhiyong nodded, instantly understanding.
There was priority here for Feihuang Group employees.
This store seemed to welcome Feihuang Group employees very much.
He was so popular because of his uniform.
This was a line leader's uniform; only line leaders wore this uniform.
Of course, factory leaders wore uniforms of a different color.
Whether it was an employee, a line leader, or a leader, the quality of the uniforms was the same, only the color was different.
Feihuang Group did not make special distinctions; this was for easier management.
No wonder Zhuang Hongde told him to wear this uniform!
Several girls led Zhang Zhiyong to register.
Real-name registration was required here.
After registering, the girl handed him a membership card with both hands, "This card gives you a 20% discount!"
