Chapter 183: The Loyal Xia Er (Asking for base monthly tickets)

Lu Mi walked back to his seat, sat down quite casually, and looked at 'Giant' Si Meng opposite him:

"What is it?"

'Giant' Si Meng's light blue eyes swept over Louis and Sa Ke Ta behind Lu Mi:

"Aren't they Bu Li Nie Er's people? You actually still let them follow you?

"If it were me, I would have already let them go guard the dance hall door."

Louis and Sa Ke Ta were hit in their sore spot by 'Giant' Si Meng and looked at Lu Mi with some trepidation.

Lu Mi wanted to applaud, very grateful to 'Giant' Si Meng for giving him such an opportunity to win people's hearts.

Although it was impossible for him to truly trust Louis and Sa Ke Ta, after all, he didn't really want to be a gangster, but he also didn't want to be shot several times in the back one day.

Lu Mi laughed:

"What do you mean Bu Li Nie Er's people? I was also Bu Li Nie Er's subordinate!

"We are all people of the Savar Party, all people of the boss. As long as I am always loyal to the boss, I don't have to worry about them betraying me!"

Louis and Sa Ke Ta nodded frequently, full of admiration for Xia Er's breadth of mind and demeanor:

That's right, Baron Bu Li Nie Er changed our status in the Savar Party and gave us great trust, but we have always been members of the Savar Party and could not possibly commit the act of betraying the boss, and it was the boss who let us follow Xia Er and listen to his instructions!

'Giant' Si Meng was choked by Lu Mi's words and only said after a few seconds:

"You are loyal to the boss, but some people may not be. Bu Li Nie Er is a very ambitious person."

You think Baron Bu Li Nie Er is not that loyal to the boss? 'Sleeve Sword,' uh, 'Red Boots' Fu Lan Ka also said Baron Bu Li Nie Er hasn't been very obedient recently... Lu Mi suddenly felt that the Savar Party boss, Ga De Na Ma Ding, was a bit miserable:

The most capable subordinate is not that loyal, the favorite mistress has other motives, and the newly promoted newcomer is a spy sent by another organization...

Seeing that he couldn't get rid of Louis and Sa Ke Ta, two bouncers who often followed Baron Bu Li Nie Er and had a certain understanding of all aspects of affairs, 'Giant' Si Meng brought the topic back to the right track:

"I came to find you to talk about the base salary of the dancers.

"Damn it, why do we have to give money to those bitches every day, even if they haven't received a single guest?

"Fu Lan Ka is too overbearing and excessive. Relying on being the boss's mistress, she actually made the boss agree to such an unreasonable thing!

"We are a gang, not a charity organization. By Steam, when I give money to those bitches, I think I'm a priest!

"I'm okay, I only need to give a few Li Ke every day. Your Breeze Dance Hall is 1 Fei Er Jin every day, and the textile workers in the Botanical Garden District only get 1.5 Fei Er Jin every day, and they are busy from morning till night!"

In Trier, the cost of hiring female workers is about 55% to 70% of hiring male workers. Those who are more ruthless, not afraid of being investigated, and dare to hire child labor only need to pay 15% of the salary of an adult man, or even lower.

No wonder the pretty dancers under Fu Lan Ka don't want to go to Nightingale Street, the price there is cheap, and the base salary is also low... Why are you also learning to curse like Fu Lan Ka and Yu Jianna? Is cursing contagious? When Aurora occasionally went crazy and shouted while riding a horse, it seemed she cursed like that too... Lu Mi deliberately ignored the hint given by Louis's wink and asked with a smile:

"What do you want to do?"

'Giant' Si Meng maintained an angry expression:

"I, you, Bu Lai Ke go find the boss together, must make him change his mind, make him manage Fu Lan Ka well!

"Which other gang gives dancers a base salary?"

This is bullying me for just taking over the Breeze Dance Hall, not knowing anything, and instigating me to rebel against the boss? Hehe, Aurora said, the early bird gets the worm, and the crow that sticks its head out gets shot... Lu Mi raised his hands and squeezed his knuckles on both sides with a smile:

"It's useless. Fu Lan Ka is the boss's mistress, the boss will definitely listen to her. If you want the boss to change his mind, there is only one way, and that is for you to be the boss!"

Can such words be said in front of so many people? Louis and Sa Ke Ta and others behind Lu Mi were so scared that they almost reached out to cover their boss's mouth.

'Giant' Si Meng was also a bit frightened:

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Most of the bouncers following him looked trembling.

"What I mean is..." Lu Mi suddenly grabbed the edge of the table and flipped it toward 'Giant' Si Meng!

Clang!

The table fell to the ground, and the cups placed on it shattered into pieces.

'Giant' Si Meng had already left his seat and retreated two steps.

He sank his face, and as his subordinates pressed their revolvers, he looked at Lu Mi and said:

"What are you doing?"

Lu Mi stood behind the overturned wooden table, cursing with an angry face:

"You piece of shit, do you still have the boss in your eyes? Actually daring to collude in private to force the boss to change his orders!

"Do you really want to be the boss?

"The boss's orders, good ones must be executed, and bad ones must also be executed. If there are any problems, you can communicate with the boss in private, but you absolutely cannot collude to force him!"

Such questioning pointed directly at 'Giant' Si Meng's intentions, making him neither dare to get angry nor continue to instigate Xia Er.

He spat and said:

"Damn it, is there something wrong with your brain? When did I want to force the boss? I just said everyone go find the boss to talk, tell him that giving dancers a base salary is really unreasonable and has put a great burden on us."

After speaking, 'Giant' Si Meng waved his hand, put on an expression that it was difficult to communicate with you Xia Er, and then turned and left.

Watching him take his subordinates into the stairwell and stomp downstairs, Lu Mi laughed inwardly:

Thank you so much. By tomorrow, no, tonight, the boss should know that Xia Er is loyal to him!

Lu Mi had suddenly discovered an opportunity to gain Ga De Na Ma Ding's trust, so he decisively performed a bit.

He pretended to sigh with indignation, restrained his expression, pointed to the messy ground, and said to Louis and the others:

"Clean it up."

As soon as Lu Mi finished speaking, he saw someone walk out of the shadow of the stairwell.

It was Yu Jianna, who had performed in the dance hall earlier.

Today, Yu Jianna was not dressed so revealingly. The rose-colored long dress was supported by a bone frame, like an upside-down flower. Her brownish-yellow long hair was simply tied into a bun at the back of her head, with most of it draped down softly. The dark shadows around her blue eyes were not as thick and deep as before, making her lose some of her decadent charm and gain a bit of clarity, and that black mole was stuck in the middle of her left cheek.

This represented elegance.

Looking at Yu Jianna, Lu Mi laughed:

"Can people in the Market District appreciate this style?"

He was referring to Yu Jianna's current style of dress, which was not very revealing and not 'bitchy' enough.

Yu Jianna smiled somewhat proudly:

"The effect of doing this occasionally is not bad. Fu Lan Ka said that sometimes, the more you make men feel they can't get you, the more they like you. Damn it, I can't understand this mentality."

"What's the matter?" Lu Mi looked at the several waiters who were cleaning up and sat down at another table.

Yu Jianna sat opposite him and said with a smile:

"I'm here to talk about next week's singing fee. It was 10 songs a night, 4 Fei Er Jin, plus one-third of the money thrown on the stage."

"I seem to be more popular recently than in the previous few months!"

Lu Mi thought for a moment and said:

"Are you suspected by the Thorn Gang and can't go to their dance halls to sing?"

"Damn, I get angry when I talk about this! Can't you disguise yourself properly? It was so easy to be recognized, and you even implicated me!" Yu Jianna responded quite angrily.

Lu Mi smiled:

"Starting today, you will still sing 10 songs every night, but the fee will be raised to 10 Fei Er Jin, and you can take two-thirds of the money thrown on the stage."

This made Louis behind Lu Mi feel a pang of heartache:

Although 'Little Bitch' doesn't come to sing every night, the number of times she comes every week is not small. Calculated this way, the Breeze Dance Hall will earn more than 2,000 Fei Er Jin less every year!

However, 'Little Bitch' seemed to have helped a lot in the boss's assassination of 'Hammer' Ai Te, losing the singing opportunity at the Thorn Gang because of it, and the annual loss was also more than 1,000 Fei Er Jin.

Yu Jianna was very satisfied.

The singing price of 10 songs for 10 Fei Er Jin plus a two-thirds share was the top treatment in the underground singer circle.

She said with a smile:

"I can only come for three days next week, Friday to Sunday nights."

"Going to dance halls in other districts to find opportunities?" Lu Mi asked casually.

Yu Jianna shook her head:

"No, damn it, how could I have so much time to sing? I have other things."

"Isn't your profession an underground singer?" Lu Mi asked with some curiosity.

"This is a part-time job, part-time!" Yu Jianna emphasized and said with a grin, "My main job is the shared mistress of 'Lion' Xia Er and 'Red Boots' Fu Lan Ka!"

Hearing this joke, Louis was almost scared to the point of weak legs.

In his impression, 'Red Boots' Fu Lan Ka was a very jealous woman, and those men who tried to take advantage of 'Little Bitch' had all been taught a lesson by her.

If the boss really became lovers with 'Little Bitch,' he would definitely have to endure 'Red Boots' anger!

This guy has another identity? Lu Mi's thoughts turned, and he asked thoughtfully:

"Is Yu Jianna your real name or a fake name?"

Those part-time underground singers often take fake names for themselves so as not to affect their other work.

Yu Jianna curled her lips and blinked:

"What do you think, Mr. Xia Er?"

She deliberately emphasized the name Xia Er, meaning, isn't the one you're using also a fake name?

After speaking, Yu Jianna stood up, leaned forward, crossed the wooden table, leaned into Lu Mi's ear, and lowered her voice:

"I finished listening to your conversation with 'Giant' Si Meng, and I have a sincere suggestion."

"The more people lack loyalty, the more they like to talk about loyalty. You performed too much, hehe."

Yu Jianna then straightened her body, turned around quite proudly, and walked toward the stairwell.

It was finally her turn to 'guide' Xia Er!

Is that so? Lu Mi pondered while looking at Yu Jianna's back:

"You didn't spray perfume today?"

Yu Jianna turned around with a swish, her expression full of joy as she asked:

"So you didn't notice me going upstairs?"
