Chapter 779
The banquet ended at nearly 8 o'clock, and everyone was dripping and dripping. Eight people left the seafood city and took two cars and headed straight to the Jinzu Dance Hall. This time it was the peak of the dance hall. Geng Qinghai booked a seat in advance, and was not worried that he would not have a seat when he went there.
The Golden Ballroom is a new entertainment model developed on the basis of the dance hall. It is a combination of the karaoke hall and the dance hall. It is two concepts with the karaoke hall in later generations. As soon as you enter the door of the karaoke hall, it is a small stage for bands to play and singers to sing. In front of the stage is a dance floor of more than 50 square meters. On both sides of the dance floor are four seat booths, but the backrest is very low. You can see the full picture of the dance hall when you sit in the booth.
Directly opposite the dance floor is a VIP bag seat, all surrounded by leather sofas. One bag seat is basically a square surrounded by sofas of more than a dozen seats. There is a large coffee table in the middle, which can sit about ten people. There is an exit in the aisle for guests to enter and exit the dance floor.
When Xiao Yuanhang and his group entered the dance hall, the band on the stage was playing a fine wine and coffee from Teresa Teng. A female singer stood on the stage and sang passionately. The lights on the dance floor were dim, and pairs of men and women were taking soothing steps in the dance floor, slowly moving with the music.
Geng Qinghai went to the bar and said that a foreman brought them to the VIP seat. Xiao Yuanhang took a look and found that there were eight VIP seats, and there were people in the other seven. Only the one on the middle and left reserved a bag seat for them, and there were basically people in the booths on both sides. It seemed that this dance hall was still very popular.
The foreman picked up the wine list on the coffee table and handed it to Geng Qinghai and said, "Sir, what are you going to do?"
Geng Qinghai looked at the list and said, "There are 8 cups of Nestle coffee, two boxes of beer, one fruit tray, other shredded squid, jerky beef, cashew nuts, melon seeds, etc. You can watch it and order songs for a while."
The foreman said: "Okay, sir, if you need anything, you can come to me or call the waiter."
Everyone sat down in the reserved seat, and the eight people were still very spacious. After a while, the waiter brought the things they wanted one after another. Geng Qinghai smiled and said, "Everyone taste this bird's nest coffee first and enjoy the bourgeois mood. Let's drink later."
Sister Hu smiled and said, "Director Geng, I just returned Nestle Coffee, why did it turn into a bird's nest now?"
Geng Qinghai also smiled and said, "Isn't Nestle just a bird's nest? They are all the same. If you want to say that this coffee is so savory, it's really hard to drink. Why do foreigners like it so much!"
Yuan Ying said: "Director Geng, you are not used to drinking it. The coffee is still very good to taste. There are cafes everywhere in Lingnan, and the business is very hot every day, and most of the people who go there are Chinese."
Geng Qinghai laughed and said, "I didn't say that coffee is bad, but I just can't get used to the smell."
While they were talking, Xiao Yuanhang had already picked up the coffee cup and drank it slowly. Cheng Liping, who was sitting next to him, saw that he was enjoying it very much, and said jokingly: "Xiao Xiao, it seems that you enjoy it very much, it seems like you often drink coffee. Does your small town have a cafe?"
Xiao Yuanhang put down the cup and smiled and said, "Sister Cheng. Don't say that, we don't have any coffee shop now. Although I don't drink it often, it can be drunk. The coffee is instant, and it is not ground immediately, so I can't taste it."
Sister Hu smiled and said, "It would be nice to have instant melt in this place. Don't think of the kind that is freshly ground. Just drink it."
Xiao Yuanhang smiled and nodded in agreement. From Sister Hu's words, he felt that she was quite knowledgeable about coffee. After all, the union often held activities and was involved in high-end places. He was knowledgeable.
As everyone was talking, the song over there was over, the lights on the dance floor gradually lit up, and everyone returned to their seats. Only then did Xiao Yuanhang see clearly that the sofas and booths here were all golden. Even the decoration of the dance hall was wrapped in golden cloth outside the mirror wall. No wonder this place was called the Golden Ball Dance Hall.
At this time, a female singer walked onto the stage with Mike and said to everyone: "Mr. Ma, who was in the VIP seat No. 1, ordered a song for his friend Miss Li, He Rijun to come again. I wish Miss Li a happy birthday. Next, I will dedicate the song to everyone, wishing everyone a happy evening and a happy time!"
The music started, and the female singer sang with emotion. Mr. Ma, who was in the No. 1 seat, applauded enthusiastically. Mr. Ma, wearing a black Zhongshan suit, went to the bar to buy a bouquet of flowers and gave it to the female singer. During the singing interval, the female singer said to the music: "Thank you Mr. Ma for your flowers, I wish Mr. Ma and his friends a fortune every day!"
Seeing that there were many programs in the dance hall, Xiao Yuanhang couldn't help but pick up the list on the table and read it. Nestle coffee costs 10 yuan per cup, even in the current capital, it is very expensive. Drink a bottle of 8 yuan, each song costs 30 yuan per song, and each bouquet of flowers costs 50 yuan per bouquet. No wonder the singer kept thanking Mr. Ma. It turned out that this was all money!
The songs in the dance hall are not normal to end. In order to take care of the dancing guests, a song is repeated, usually lasting more than 10 minutes. The female singer was singing on the stage, and many people were already dancing in the dance floor below the stage, and the light gradually became dark.
Geng Qinghai glanced at the crowd on the dance floor and said to everyone: "Don't just drink, everyone go down and jump. We are here to have fun, and we are all having fun."
This is an era when ballroom dance is very popular. In order to activate the lives of employees, various railway units often hold dance parties. All the leading cadres here are able to dance a few steps, but there are only three girls, and there are too many monks and less porridge. No one is embarrassed to invite a lady to dance first.
Sister Hu is the vice chairman of the trade union and often organizes such activities. When she saw this situation, she stood up and said, "Xiao Yuan, Xiao Cheng, let's take the initiative, don't embarrass our railway first!" As she said that, she walked to Geng Qinghai and stretched out her hand and said, "Director Geng, please dance."
The lady took the initiative to invite her, and Geng Qinghai could not refuse to take Sister Hu's hand and enter the dance floor. Due to the limited area of the dance floor and many people dancing, they could not dance the regular three-step or four-step. They were all slow two-steps, so that they could dance and talk while dancing. Of course, there were more other functions, and such things could only be understood and not expressed in words.
Seeing Cheng Liping standing up and asking Xiao Yuanhang to dance, Yuan Ying took the lead and walked to Xiao Yuanhang, stretched out her hand and said, "Xiao Xiao, please dance!"
Xiao Yuanhang wanted to dance this first dance with Cheng Liping, but Yuan Ying reached out to him first and he could not refuse at all. It was too impolite. He stood up with a smile and said, "Thank you!" Then he held her hand and entered the dance floor. (To be continued...)
