The Touching Fish Internet Cafe flagship store.

The entrance was already packed with enthusiastic onlookers.

On the stage on the first floor, Chen Lei was leisurely playing guitar and singing.

Although it was daytime, the audience was very cooperative, listening quietly, suppressing their applause and screams, waiting until after the song to start the revelry.

People kept going to the bar, throwing down a few red bills, taking only a drink back, and giving the rest to Chen Lei as a reward.

The bartenders, waiters, and even Ma Yang and Zhang Yuan, were all a little dazed by how busy they were.

They never dreamed that Touching Fish Internet Cafe could become so popular!

Fortunately, they had urgently transferred waiters from other Touching Fish Internet Cafes to help last night, which barely kept the situation under control.

Ma Yang even sighed, thanking Boss Pei for his foresight in opening several flagship stores in advance, otherwise where would they have found so many people on such short notice?

The traffic in the other Touching Fish Internet Cafes had also increased, but it couldn't compare with the flagship store, since everyone was mainly there to see Chen Lei.

Now, the flagship store was truly a flagship store!

On the second floor, a long-legged girl sat by the window and posed for a photo.

In the photo, she held a book she had just found on the shelf, reading it seriously in the sunlight, giving a sense of peace and tranquility.

Except the upside-down Russian on the cover actually meant "Tractor Operation and Maintenance."

Some people ordered drinks and listened attentively to Chen Lei's singing.

But since there were too many people in front of the stage, and it was impossible to squeeze in, many people wandered around the internet cafe, exploring this seemingly mysterious place.

The clean and tidy internet cafe area, the impressive bookshelves, the cool private cinema, the respectful and courteous waiters...

Many people then realized that this internet cafe was so high-quality!

Most of these customers lived nearby and came as soon as they heard that Chen Lei was coming.

They had passed by the entrance of the Touching Fish Internet Cafe before, but never went inside to take a closer look, being deterred by the high prices.

But now it seemed not expensive at all!

On the one hand, the environment and service of this internet cafe were good. Not to mention anything else, the computer configuration alone crushed all the nearby internet cafes!

Of course, there were also high-end internet cafes nearby, but they generally cut corners on computer configurations, since the investment was too large, and most internet cafes chose the most cost-effective setup.

But the computers here were simply impeccable. Many people gritted their teeth and decided that even if they built their own computers, they might not be better than these.

The gaming experience was top-notch!

Not to mention the drinks, the environment, and everything else, which were all top-notch.

On the other hand, the prices hadn't increased!

The prices were the same as before, even with Chen Lei's arrival.

This made it seem too conscientious!

If it were another boss, they might have charged admission for Chen Lei to sing here, or even if they didn't charge admission, the drinks would definitely be much more expensive.

After all, making money was a common routine.

But Touching Fish Internet Cafe was different. Chen Lei came, and the prices remained the same.

Many customers were touched. There weren't many conscientious stores like this!

They used to think it was expensive, but that was a misunderstanding!

Moreover, starting tonight, Chen Lei's die-hard fans would be flying in from other cities, and the scene then would only be even more explosive than it was now!

...

Pei Qian arrived at the entrance of the Touching Fish Internet Cafe flagship store and realized he might as well not have come.

He was in a bad mood and wanted to come over for a drink.

But he found that there was no place to even stand!

The two-story internet cafe was packed. Not to mention the bar area, even in the internet cafe area, there were three or five spectators behind each computer.

Pei Qian wanted to go inside, but the key was that the hundreds of people outside also had the same idea, and the people inside had no intention of leaving.

Many people stood at the entrance of the Touching Fish Internet Cafe listening to Chen Lei sing, holding their hands high from the crowd, laboriously handing money to the waiters, buying a drink, and then giving all the rest as a reward.

Even some of the shops next door were overcrowded, and some people had even gone to the second floor of the board game bar across from the Touching Fish Internet Cafe, just to have a good view from above.

Fortunately, this road wasn't a main road and didn't have much traffic, otherwise it would have caused a traffic jam.

Pei Qian was sad.

Was this still his Touching Fish Internet Cafe?

It used to be so nice and quiet. When he came, he could have a drink and sit wherever he wanted. Such a big internet cafe served him alone, and he could still lose money. How perfect!

But now, he didn't even have a place to stand...

"Forget it, I'll go to another one."

Pei Qian was speechless. It seemed that he wouldn't be coming to the Touching Fish Internet Cafe flagship store anymore.

Fortunately, there were still a few branches.

Pei Qian was about to leave when a waiter who was receiving guests outside saw him and trotted up to Pei Qian.

"Boss Pei, you're here! Please come in, we've saved you a seat!"

Pei Qian was taken aback: "You saved me a seat?"

The waiter nodded: "Yes, Chen Lei is waiting for you. Come on!"

Several other waiters also came over and escorted Pei Qian into the Touching Fish Internet Cafe through the employee entrance.

There was an empty seat next to the bar, which they must have deliberately saved for Pei Qian.

Ma Yang looked a little sleepy, but still forced himself to be energetic and busy: "Brother Qian is here? Sit down, your drink is coming right away!"

Chen Lei on the stage looked at Pei Qian, smiled and nodded, and then leisurely began to sing.

"In the quiet night, I walk on the street,"

"In the dim light, you are waiting,"

"In this noisy city, only you can understand my sorrow,"

"No matter how far I wander, I never forget that intoxicating wine of yours..."

This song, "Waiting," which became a hit on "Finding a Good Voice" and had already topped the music charts, rang out in the Touching Fish Internet Cafe.

Chen Lei's live version.

At this moment, in this scene, many people felt a sense of resonance.

A man sitting in the front row, who looked casually dressed but had a strong presence, raised his hand, called the waiter over, and whispered a few words.

Soon, Chen Lei finished singing.

The waiter came to the stage: "I have good news for everyone! All expenses from this afternoon until tonight will be paid for by Young Master Lin!"

Pei Qian had just brought a drink to his lips and almost spat it out.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, Pei Qian looked in the direction of the man and vaguely felt a sense of familiarity.

Young Master Lin also looked in the direction of Pei Qian and nodded with a smile.

Pei Qian: "..."

This person seemed a bit similar to Lin Zhou, the president of Shenhua Real Estate, whom he had seen in photos before, but he seemed younger...

Pei Qian's heart skipped a beat.

He remembered, this was Lin Zheng'nan's third son, Lin Chang, who seemed to be the president of Shenhua Film and Television Media Co., Ltd.

Pei Qian silently finished his drink.

Lin Chang was a little surprised.

This Boss Pei seemed to be quite extraordinary.

When someone else pays, everyone's consumption will definitely increase, and maybe hundreds of thousands will be spent tonight.

For Lin Chang, this wasn't a big deal. He would just consider it a little greeting gift for this Boss Pei.

Moreover, he really thought Chen Lei sang well.

What made him more curious was this Boss Pei's reaction.

He was completely unmoved, and even looked at him with a hint of vigilance.

Not blinded by the immediate benefits, able to remain calm in the face of such great success, and even able to be wary of unexplained goodwill, always vigilant about possible risks...

"As A-Wan said, he is indeed a remarkable talent," Lin Chang thought to himself.

Pei Qian slammed his glass on the table, with only one thought in his mind.

I am irreconcilable with your Lin family!!!

"..."

But on second thought, something seemed wrong.

He couldn't lose money now. The more money he earned, the more he could convert.

Thinking like this, he should thank this Lin Chang instead. This gesture would allow him to take at least a few thousand more yuan in personal property.

This was clearly something to be happy about, but why couldn't he be happy at all...

Pei Qian felt very sad.
