Chapter 841: Chapter 417 Gao Jun’s Mont of Glory
Sun Dali suddenly slamd the glass down.
With a stern face, he said, “That’s not cool, man. Even joking has its place. I’m helping you out of good will, and you’re making fun of ?”
Gao Jun slowly shook his head, his tone calm, “I wasn’t joking with you.”
“Brother Sun, don’t get upset.” Sister Dan picked up a bottle of wine and filled his glass, “Let’s drink, let’s drink!”
“It’s hard for everyone to get together. We’re all friends; there’s no need for this.”
“Haha, which guy doesn’t like supercars? A little booze and so bragging, no big deal.”
…
Seeing the situation, other colleagues quickly spoke up to ease the tension.
Liang Jing also gently advised, “We’re all friends here. Joking around at the table is normal. Don’t be mad.”
After speaking, Liang Jing turned her head to look at the striking face diagonally across from her.
She said, “Gao Jun, Dali is actually quite enthusiastic. He really wanted to help you find so discounts.”
Biao opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.
Although he knew that Gao Jun now owned a café, bought a Porsche, and even chased down the campus beauty.
But to say he could co up with ten million to buy a car, Biao couldn’t quite believe it.
So he also thought Gao Jun was joking.
Sun Dali discreetly glanced at Gao Jun.
Thinking he was guilty and didn’t dare argue with him, he felt much better.
Biao quietly nudged Gao Jun’s arm and whispered, “I also don’t like Sun Dali, but there’s no need to clash here. We’re old classmates eting up, just drink and chat peacefully, ignore him.”
Gao Jun clinked glasses with him, smiling, without explaining much more.
Soon, the live singer at the bar picked a table, planning to invite them on stage to sing.
Coincidentally, they chose Gao Jun’s table.
At first, Gao Jun declined.
But the crowd’s enthusiasm was hard to resist.
In the end, he held his guitar, appearing calm on the outside, but feeling a bit restless inside.
He gave a faint smile and said, “I’m here to accompany friends for drinks and chat, so I’ll just play a short piece.”
Only then did the surrounding female colleagues snap back to reality.
Sister Dan excitedly shouted, “Wow, didn’t expect you to be a guitar expert! You’re like a hidden gem! So amazing!”
“Ahhh! I want to hear the handso guy sing!”
“What song will you sing, cutie? Can I make a request?”
“I want to request!”
“, !”
Seeing the arguing female colleagues, a dazed Biao finally snapped out of it.
He widened his eyes in disbelief and said, “Gao Jun, when did you learn to play the guitar? How co I never heard about it?”
He had shared a dorm with Gao Jun for four years in college and knew very well if the other had any talents.
There was an event organized by the departnt once that required each dorm to put on a performance.
None of the six in their dorm had any talent.
So, they could only resort to rock-paper-scissors, and he lost, forcing him to sing a “Single Love Song” on stage.
His pitch was off, and his expression was both awkward and funny.
It was just when Douyin short videos were beginning to gain popularity.
His singing video went a bit viral, making him unable to show his face for quite a while.
That incident was a sore spot for him.
He even blad his four years of singlehood in college on that.
Gao Jun blinked, casually making up a story, “Back in college, I kept it low-key. You know, I don’t like showing off.”
“I don’t believe you!” Biao gave a -worthy expression.
Gao Jun imdiately changed the subject, smiling at the girls, “Ladies, what song would you like to hear? Discuss among yourselves, and I’ll sing a couple of lines to liven things up.”
“Yay!” The female colleagues excitedly gathered in a heated discussion, each trying to get their request heard.
Liang Jing hesitated for a mont, then said, “For guitar performances in a bar, folksy songs are the best choice, like ‘Miss Dong’ or ‘Anhe Bridge’. How about that?”
After speaking, she looked at Gao Jun with bright eyes.
After pondering for a mont, the others nodded in agreent.
Finally, Sister Dan excitedly shouted, “Brother, how about ‘Miss Dong’? We’d like to hear it!”
“Sure.” Gao Jun snapped his fingers, carrying his guitar to the stage with ease and confidence.
Sun Dali frowned and looked sideways at Liang Jing.
He saw her holding her phone, cara directed at Gao Jun’s back.
He had already found Gao Jun sowhat annoying, and the earlier unpleasantness hadn’t helped.
But now Liang Jing was completely disregarding his feelings.
What a buzzkill!
As a native of Modu, he had a local household registration, a house, and abilities.
Both his parents had stable jobs.
With such conditions, finding a nice local girl wouldn’t be a problem.
The reason he chose Liang Jing, a girl from out of town.
Besides her youth and beauty, she was also good at managing his emotions.
But today, her overall behavior left Sun Dali very disappointed.
Luckily, he hadn’t bought her any expensive gifts, so giving up wasn’t too painful.
…
As Gao Jun walked towards the bright stage.
His silhouette entered everyone’s view.
The buzzing discussions grew louder.
Their eyes filled with curiosity, amazent, and anticipation…
He seed oblivious, his deanor graceful and free-spirited.
He sat on the stool on the stage and began adjusting the microphone position.
Because it was warm inside the bar, he had taken off his jacket and wore just a white sweatshirt.
He paired it with washed jeans and sneakers.
At the mont, holding the guitar, he did have the look of a folk musician.
Except the jeans weren’t torn, and he wasn’t wearing a hat, so not quite artsy enough.
Feeling the vibe, Gao Jun pulled up the hoodie and put it over his head.
Covering his flowing black hair.
Under the colorful lights.
He lowered his head, his fine hair falling and brushing his prominent nose.
His slender, fair fingers plucked the guitar strings, making final preparations, setting the mood.
The female audience below the stage erupted in uncontrollable screams.
“So handso!”
“His fingers are so long!”
…
Sister Dan and the others, faces flushed with excitent, stood with their glasses raised, looking towards the stage.
Sun Dali’s eye twitched, and he muttered under his breath, “Show-off.”
Biao, though not hearing clearly, could guess he wasn’t saying anything good from his expression.
He frowned, “Brother Sun, what are you mumbling?”
Sun Dali looked up, smiling, “Nothing, just think your classmate likes showing off.
Earlier he was bragging about buying a supercar over ten million, now he’s performing on stage.
But young people, right, it’s understandable to crave attention.
Mainly because they’re immature and crave recognition and admiration, they’ll figure it out eventually.”
Biao’s face didn’t look too happy, wanting to retort a few words.
But looking at Liang Jing beside him, he bit his tongue.
This was her boyfriend-to-be, and it wasn’t appropriate to cause a scene at a colleague get-together.
Other colleagues exchanged looks, clearly seeing Sun Dali’s displeasure.
Everyone turned their gaze towards Liang Jing.
But Liang Jing seed lost in her phone, not knowing what she was looking at.
“Alright, quiet down! Stop chatting, Gao Jun is about to perform!” Sister Dan clapped her hands, actively trying to lighten the mood.
