Chapter 320
Originally, Gu Bing had been watching Zhou Andong and that foreign girl dancing face-to-face so intimately, and the anger in his stomach had been rising; he was just about to lose it when he suddenly saw Zhou Andong push the foreign girl away and jump onto the stage.
His anger vanished instantly, but his heart jumped into his throat: "Damn it, this bastard is really going crazy."
Yang Ming's expression also changed; he was the one who brought Zhou Andong in. He knew better than anyone how important this event was. Once Zhou Andong caused trouble, his old man would skin him alive.
But now that Zhou Andong was already on stage, everyone's eyes were focused on him. It was too late to stop him, so he could only pray silently that Zhou Andong wouldn't cause any trouble.
And those security guards didn't dare to move, because those who could get in weren't ordinary people. Besides, some had seen Zhou Andong dancing very intimately with Irene, so naturally, they didn't dare to act recklessly.
No one knew what Zhou Andong was going to do, except for Irene, who was suppressing her inner restlessness, looking at Zhou Andong with shining eyes, her hands clenched into fists, secretly cheering him on.
Zhou Andong looked at the stage, where six elderly musicians, with an average age of over seventy, had retired from professional orchestras.
Don't look at how old they were; they were a long-famous, world-renowned senior jazz band in Shanghai.
Established in 1980, they were found by the Peace Hotel after much searching, specifically to attract foreign businessmen and keep them on the Bund.
Before liberation, they had been musicians at the four famous dance halls: Paramount, Metropole, Ciro's, and New Xianlin.
And they all had one thing in common for coming out of retirement: it wasn't for money, but for their obsession with jazz.
Even during the years of confinement, they hadn't given up on jazz, always secretly hiding in basements, playing the music in their hearts.
Now, they had been performing at the Peace Hotel bar for over a decade, hosting many heads of state who came specifically to hear them play, including those from the United States and Britain, and they had also been invited to perform in many countries and regions.
The six old musicians stopped playing and looked at Zhou Andong with smiles. They didn't seem angry; instead, they were curious about what this young man was doing running onto the stage.
Zhou Andong bowed politely to the old gentlemen: "Gentlemen, you must be very tired. Please take a rest, and for the next while, leave the stage to me."
The old gentlemen were stunned. Before they could react, they saw Zhou Andong take the microphone, turn toward the mixing console nearby, find a random disc, and put it into the CD player.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The music wasn't too loud, but the heavy bass still slowly ignited everyone's blood.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you like the night in Shanghai?"
"Yes!" the crowd shouted in unison, and the loudest of them all was Irene, her excited face flushed with a layer of red.
"Come on, enjoy this song; its name is Night Color..."
Zhou Andong suddenly started singing, gently pushing the mixing sliders, the music getting louder and louder, his body beginning to sway with the rhythm.
"If you also like DJ music, then step into my world. Let's sway together tonight, come and forget your troubles..."
Zhou Andong didn't care if the music matched or not, just singing wildly, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the venue. The foreigners started shouting crazily, swaying along with Zhou Andong.
"Come on, let my music pass through your body, anesthetize your nerves, and forget all your troubles. Open your beautiful moods and sway with all your might..."
"Damn it!" Yang Ming cursed fiercely. Looking at the crazy scene and then at the passionate Zhou Andong on stage, he really didn't know what to say. He didn't even know if this was a good thing or a bad thing.
Guan Tingya looked at Zhou Andong on stage with eager eyes, one hand clenched into a fist, her body swaying uncontrollably.
Zheng Xiyan jumped off her barstool and excitedly pulled Guan Tingya onto the dance floor.
Gu Bing, Xiao Liuzi, and even Song Mao had their mouths wide open. They really didn't know Zhou Andong had this side to him, but why did it look so damn cool?
Zhou Andong reached out to Irene, who had come to the front of the stage: "Come on, beautiful lady, follow my beat, close your eyes, feel it with your heart, catch our romantic waves, and feel the state of transcending time and space..."
Irene smiled and grabbed Zhou Andong's outstretched hand, got on stage, and followed Zhou Andong's steps, twisting her proud figure.
Flora looked at Zhou Andong and Irene on stage, a smile appearing on her face: "This is too crazy, and it makes me feel ten years younger. No, I need to change out of this damn evening gown." After saying this, Flora turned and left.
"What are you waiting for?" Song Mao couldn't hold back anymore. "Brother Six, let's go."
"Let's go!" Xiao Liuzi pulled Gu Bing. "Get on stage."
At this moment, Zhou Andong reached out to Guan Tingya and Zheng Xiyan: "Come on, beautiful girls, the music is playing for you. Follow the rhythm, pierce through all constraints, break all boundaries, and let us charge forward head-on without restraint..."
Guan Tingya hesitated for a moment. Just as she was about to reach out, Zheng Xiyan was a step faster and was pulled onto the stage by Zhou Andong.
Zhou Andong reached out his hand again. Guan Tingya didn't hesitate this time and reached out. When she grabbed Zhou Andong's broad palm, her heart skipped a beat and thumped violently.
Before she could recover, a great force surged, and she felt her body fly up, then land steadily on the stage.
By this time, quite a few foreigners had run onto the stage, most of them women, who flocked over to interact with Zhou Andong.
The atmosphere off-stage was getting hotter and hotter, while the atmosphere on-stage was getting more and more ambiguous.
"OK, the feeling of happiness has just begun. Please release all your stress, let us accelerate, let your blood boil in your body, let us follow the rhythm, run as we please, freely and easily, and push your happiness and unhappiness to the limit..."
Crazy, completely crazy. Young or old, everyone was swaying desperately along with Zhou Andong.
And some of the Shanghai socialites who had come in with the foreigners looked at Zhou Andong with bright eyes. Some were eager to try and get on stage, but seeing so many foreign girls surrounding Zhou Andong, they gave up.
Guan Tingya saw Irene constantly surrounding Zhou Andong, and her anger flared up. She secretly snorted, came to Zhou Andong's side, and placed her hand on his shoulder, swaying very enthusiastically. Without a trace, she separated Zhou Andong and Irene.
Zheng Xiyan blinked, a smile curling at the corner of her mouth.
Just then, there was a commotion below. An old gentleman had fainted from too much excitement and was quickly carried away by medical staff. But less than twenty minutes later, the old gentleman ran back.
