Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student-Chapter 313 - 209: Red Rose Tavern and the Band
"Wow!"
"Even Principal Zhu was alerted."
Shen Qiushan expressed great surprise, then quickly smiled and thanked them, "Thank you, both leaders."
"Do come by often when you have time!"
"Absolutely!"
"Since it’s your bar, I must come to show support!"
"But you have to give me a discount!"
Liu Hongyu joked with a big smile.
"What discount."
"When Principal Liu visits, it must be on the house!"
Shen Qiushan quickly replied.
"Doing business, we can’t let you lose money."
"Just give me a discount in the future."
Liu Hongyu said as he looked around and was taken aback by the bustling atmosphere inside the bar.
Among the students, there were also a few familiar faces, all active members of the student union.
The two were chatting.
Another familiar figure walked into the bar.
"Boss Shen, congratulations!"
It was a charming middle-aged woman in a beige business suit, with nude stockings on her legs and black high heels on her feet.
The visitor was none other than the Chief Editor of Huawen Publishing House, Chen Min.
She knew about the opening of Shen Qiushan’s bar only because her daughter Chen Jiahuan told her.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have known that Shen Qiushan opened a small bar near Sanjiang University.
Chen Min didn’t come alone; she brought her assistant Zhang Huihui and subordinate Zheng Sihai.
However, most of Zheng Sihai’s body was concealed by an artistic-looking sculpture he was holding.
Apparently, this was a gift from Chen Min.
"Boss Shen, this sculpture is a personal gift from me."
"And this red envelope is from the publishing house!"
Saying this, Chen Min took out a thick red envelope from her handbag and handed it to Shen Qiushan.
Upon hearing from her daughter about the bar opening, Chen Min immediately reported it to the publishing house’s owner and applied for a gift fund.
The owner of Huawen Publishing House readily agreed.
For Huawen Publishing House now, anything concerning Shen Qiushan is a big deal; nothing is more important than maintaining their relationship with him.
Because, to Huawen Publishing House, Shen Qiushan is a cash cow.
The cumulative sales of "Three-Body Civilization" have already reached 1.3 million copies.
The book is receiving rave reviews, and its sales continue to grow steadily.
It is foreseeable.
The final sales of "Three-Body Civilization" will definitely be a frightening number!
And in the long run, this popular "Three-Body Civilization" will definitely be reprinted, and might even have "edited versions" or "revised editions" and the like.
Therefore, Huawen Publishing House naturally wants to continue cooperating with Shen Qiushan, thus maintaining a good relationship with him is crucial.
This time, upon hearing about the bar’s opening, the publishing house owner generously approved a gift fund of fifty thousand.
"Thank you, Sister Min."
"This sculpture is indeed quite artistic!"
"Xiaozheng, stop holding it and place it beside the stage!"
Shen Qiushan first expressed his gratitude, then directed Zheng Sihai to position the sculpture to the side.
Afterwards, he made a brief introduction between Liu Hongyu and Chen Min.
"Sister Min, this is Principal Liu of Sanjiang University."
"Principal Liu, this is Chief Editor Chen from Huawen Publishing House."
Both sides exchanged polite greetings, then Shen Qiushan invited everyone to sit inside.
"Old Shen, Principal Liu, here’s a seat..."
At this moment, the bar was packed, with no seats available.
Wu Junming, the president of the Go Club, was quite perceptive, noticing that even Vice Principal Liu Hongyu had come to congratulate Shen Qiushan. He quickly offered a table.
Shen Qiushan glanced at Wu Junming; this guy’s Go skills were mediocre, but he was quite socially adept.
Hmm, the young man has a promising future.
Afternoon.
Shen Qiushan initially thought that there would be fewer people in the bar.
After all, many students had classes in the afternoon, and those who came to support had started to leave one after another.
But unexpectedly for Shen Qiushan, the news of him opening a bar quickly spread through social media, school forums, and various online platforms.
Almost all students of Sanjiang University knew that Shen Qiushan opened a bar near the school.
Students without classes came in groups to check it out.
As a result, on the first day of the bar’s opening, there were hardly any empty seats inside.
Extremely popular.
Since it was located near the school, Shen Qiushan didn’t intend to make any real profit from the bar, so the pricing of drinks and food was kept quite low.
It aimed to be affordable so that all students could afford to consume!
Yet, even so, by 8 PM, the bar’s turnover had surprisingly reached seventy to eighty thousand!
It can only be said that the consumption capacity of contemporary college students is rather terrifying.
At 8:45 PM.
This season’s "Voice of Hua Country" officially aired.
The bar wasn’t closed yet, and during this period, the Red Rose Band took the stage, elevating the bar’s atmosphere to its peak.
Sanjiang City District.
Red Sea Home.
Hu Tingting’s family lived in this neighborhood, in a 120-plus square meter, 3-bedroom, 1-living room apartment.
Zhang Kai, upon returning home, found that his wife Hu Tingting was not at home. He frowned slightly and sat silently at the dining table to eat the food his mother had left for him.
"Xiaokai, you really ought to manage Tingting."
"Quitting a good job just like that, to work in a bar—is that a place for decent people?"
Zhang Kai’s mother, Zhao Minglan, was there to help with the child, but she disapproved of the daughter-in-law who quit her stable job to be in a band!
Previously it was somewhat acceptable; after all, Hu Tingting’s job was quite stable, albeit low-paying.
