At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

Chapter 217, Father-in-law, you must be stunned, they're all my people! (Please subscribe)
Less than half an hour after Shen Qiushan sent out the message, Liu Fang and Zhang Qianyi from the Literature Club, Wu Junming and Zhou Yuan from the Go Club, and Cheng Yuanyuan and Yao Shutong from the Pop Music Club all arrived at the tavern with their respective groups.

A large group of thirty or forty people.

"Old Shen, you can arrange the work now!"

"President, all the people I'm mentoring have part-time experience!"

"Teacher Shen, the main principle of our club is to obey orders."

Shen Qiushan was surprised by the enthusiasm of these children. He pointed to Lin Xiamo beside him and said, "You all follow Secretary Lin's instructions."

"She's the manager of this tavern!"

"This Manager Hu is also suitable; she's the tavern's marketing manager!"

Shen Qiushan directly gave Hu Tingting the title of marketing manager, while he himself only wanted to be a hands-off manager and had absolutely no interest in running a tavern.

Lin Xiamo and Hu Tingting are the lead singer and bassist of the Red Rose Band, respectively, and they're quite popular these days. Naturally, the students are excited to be able to work with them.

"Raise your hand if you have waiter/waitress experience, then follow me."

The tavern was almost full and desperately needed manpower. Lin Xiamo didn't say much and simply organized the experienced people to start working.

"Yuanyuan, organize a few people to help with the performance."

Lin Xiamo then assigned work to Cheng Yuanyuan from the pop music club.

Normally, there are no performances in the afternoon at the bar, since hiring performers is quite expensive. Although Cheng Yuanyuan and other members of the pop music club are not as experienced as professional resident singers, they are cost-effective. They had already been used when the bar opened, so they can handle warming up the crowd without any problems.

"Xiao Wu, you take a few people and manage the queue outside the tavern, providing water and snacks to the customers waiting in line."

Lin Xiamo, as expected of someone who has always been a leader, made clear arrangements for everyone who came to help.

Shen Qiushan was overjoyed. He wanted a capable "good wife" like her so he could comfortably be a hands-off boss.

anyway.

Lin Xiamo is still too comprehensive.

She could easily make a living off her looks and be just a pretty face.

But her personal abilities are so strong, which is probably why she has been unable to find a suitable partner.

She was too outstanding, so ordinary men naturally couldn't catch her eye.

Shen Qiushan pulled up a high stool behind the bar and sat down leisurely.

Xu Pipa, the novice bartender, has already started working, while there is also an experienced bartender named Awei in the bar.

The tavern was already full, and the two of them were busy having a great time.

Shen Qiushan silently watched the busy little mushroom head and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This little girl truly deserves to be called a top student!

She's so smart and quick to learn!
I taught myself bartending, and after a few days, I've already reached a level comparable to Ah Wei's.

Of course, Shen Qiushan doesn't know how to mix drinks; that's how it appears to him visually.

I've been busy for quite a while.

Xu Pipa finally had some time to rest.

She let out a long breath, and then realized that Shen Qiushan, who was sitting diagonally behind her, seemed to have been silently observing her all along.

The little mushroom-headed boy's cheeks flushed slightly as he turned to look at Shen Qiushan: "Uncle Shen, I taught myself, please don't laugh at me!"

"What right do I have to laugh at you?"

Shen Qiushan waved his hand: "You don't seem like an amateur at all; on the contrary, you're quite professional."

"Brother Shen, you were right."

"Pipa is truly gifted when it comes to bartending; even I, a seasoned bartender, am completely outmatched!"

Ah Wei chimed in from the side, and it was clear that he wasn't just being polite, but rather expressing his heartfelt sentiments.

The little mushroom-headed boy, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise, scratched his head.

"I don't need to come to the tavern every day; my studies should be my priority."

Shen Qiushan was worried that Xu Pipa would neglect her studies by helping out at the tavern, so he gave her a serious piece of advice.

"It won't affect it."

"There isn't that much homework now."

Xu Pipa shook her head repeatedly. This was Uncle Shen's tavern, so of course she had to do her best to help.

However, as a freshman, she didn't have a lot of coursework, especially since she was studying medicine and needed to memorize a lot of things, which was exactly Xu Pipa's area of ​​expertise.

What takes others two hours to memorize, she can probably do in half an hour.

That's probably what talent is all about!

"alright."

"You're an adult now, you can manage your own time!"

Shen Qiushan reached out his large hand and habitually ruffled Xu Pipa's little mushroom-shaped hair.

The little girl lowered her head shyly. Perhaps because of her mushroom-shaped haircut, people who knew her often liked to pat her head like Shen Qiushan did.

For example, Shen Yanran and Lin Jiayu.

But Shen Qiushan gave her a different feeling. Every time Shen Qiushan's big hand rubbed her head, it would make her little heart beat faster involuntarily...

"Loquat, a cup of wolf's temptation."

At this moment, Lin Jiayu, who had also been conscripted, went to the bar to make the announcement.

Then, she glanced at Shen Qiushan sitting at the bar, pouted and complained, "Brother-in-law, you're too relaxed!"

"Jiayu!"

"You don't understand. I'm the boss. I have to oversee the whole situation. It may seem leisurely, but it's actually very mentally exhausting!"

As he spoke, Shen Qiushan sighed seriously, as if to say that he was also very tired.

"Shen the Skinflint!"

Lin Jiayu pouted and went back to her work.

The tavern has been packed since it opened, with a long queue always outside.

As it turns out, the influence of the internet is far greater than many people can imagine. The Red Rose Band's popularity boosted the Red Rose Tavern and even the commercial street next to the university town.

Because of the large number of people coming to check in, the foot traffic on the commercial street is much higher than usual, and other businesses can also get a share of the profits.

Shen Qiushan has inadvertently contributed to the economy of the area around the university town.

And this popularity continues...

Because the Red Rose Band fought their way through the competition on the stage of "Voice of China" and made it directly into the top eight.

Two months have passed since the Red Rose Band first appeared on the stage of "Voice of China".

Sanjiang City has also entered a damp and cold winter.

Unlike the dry cold of winter in the north, the damp cold of winter in the south can be described as a "magical attack".

Even though the temperature is still above zero, sometimes it can freeze you to the bone.

The Red Rose Tavern is as popular as ever.

With the weather getting cooler, high-proof liquor has become more popular recently.

Friday morning.

The tavern wasn't open yet.

The entire Red Rose Band is rehearsing on stage; the quarterfinals format is different from previous competitions.

It consists of two parts.

In addition to the regular solo performances, there is now a guest vocal segment.

The top eight contestants can invite their "friends" to help them out, and the votes from the guest performances will also be counted in the total votes.

Therefore, the guest performers are crucial, and that's when the contestants have to compete based on their backgrounds.

If you can invite a well-known singer to help you sing, you will naturally get more votes.

The show gave the contestants two options: the first was to invite their own singers, and the second was to choose from a list of singers provided by the show.

Although the contestants participating in "Voice of China" are either has-been singers, unknown figures, or internet celebrities.

However, due to the show's popularity and high viewership, many singers are still willing to come and be guest performers.

The list provided by the program team includes many well-known singers.

The Red Rose Band has no connections in the entertainment industry, so naturally they can't invite any big names.

Right now, they're discussing who to collaborate with, using the list provided by the production team.

"MoMo, stop what you're doing." "Come and have some fruit!"

Just as Lin Xiamo and the other three were discussing, Shen Qiushan walked into the tavern; he wasn't alone.

And there's also my mother-in-law, Chen Qingzhu.

Since she learned about Shen Qiushan and her daughter Lin Xiamo's "secret," she has been seeing her son-in-law Shen Qiushan more and more often.

Of course, this was all done intentionally by Shen Qiushan.

His idea was simple: to get along well with his mother-in-law, Chen Qingzhu, and bring her into his camp.

In this way, when I take Lin Xiamo to confront my father-in-law, Lin Moxuan, in the future, I will have a great advantage.

Shen Qiushan's original plan was to try his best to win over Lin Moxuan, but his father-in-law was too shrewd and often didn't fall for his tricks.

Especially after reaching the "father-in-law and son-in-law agreement," Lin Moxuan, knowing that Shen Qiushan had "handle" over him, became even more cautious, not wanting to owe any more favors.

In order to avoid being completely "corrupted" by Shen Qiushan.

Therefore, Shen Qiushan changed his strategy again, since it was not easy to make a move on Director Lin.

Then let's first win over his mother-in-law, Chen Qingzhu, and also his sister-in-law, Lin Jiayu, who has already been lured away by him.

There are four members of the Lin family.

Three of them are already on our side!
In other words, Director Lin has essentially been sidelined.

But to get his mother-in-law, Chen Qingzhu, to completely side with him, one final step is needed.

Cater to their preferences.

Help your mother-in-law fulfill her dream!

Before retiring, Chen Qingzhu was a singer in a performing arts troupe, and she sang songs her whole life.

As a singer, the most important thing is naturally the stage!

The reason Chen Qingzhu sings live on Kuaiyin is because she lost her stage and needed a platform to showcase herself.

So, if she could help her mother-in-law Chen Qingzhu reach a bigger stage, she would definitely stand firmly on Shen Qiushan's side.

Become a staunch supporter!
So, recently, Shen Qiushan has been frantically increasing his academic excellence index and then participating in the lottery.

I was thinking of picking out a few songs and finding one that would suit Chen Qingzhu.

And just last night.

Shen Qiushan's efforts finally paid off; he drew a song that suited Chen Qingzhu.

A plan then took shape in my mind.

"Mom, why are you here?"

Lin Xiamo was quite surprised that her mother would come to the tavern.

“Akiyama picked me up.”

He said you've encountered some difficulties and need my help, an old comrade.

Chen Qingzhu said with a smile.

"Uh?"

Lin Xiamo paused for a moment, then looked at Shen Qiushan with a suspicious expression.

She doesn't seem to have said anything about needing her mother's help.

Hu Tingting and the other two were also puzzled, wondering what Shen Qiushan was up to!

"Let's rest for a while."

"Eat fruit."

Shen Qiushan placed the fruit on the table, peeled an orange, broke off two segments, and offered them to Lin Xiamo's lips: "This orange is quite sweet, you should try it."

"Ah~"

"Brother Shen, can you please consider how single people feel!"

Zhu Xinyue complained from the side.

"Then you should hurry up and find a boyfriend."

Shen Qiushan shrugged.

The four of them temporarily stopped their discussion due to his and Chen Qingzhu's arrival.

After eating some fruit...

Shen Qiushan then spoke up, "You haven't chosen your guest performer yet, have you?"

"Yes, we're discussing it right now!"

Hu Tingting casually forwarded the list of singers sent by the program team to Shen Qiushan: "Brother Shen, can you help me think about who is more suitable?"

Shen Qiushan didn't even look at the list, and said with a smile, "None of the people on the list are suitable."

"I have the most suitable candidate here."

"Uh?"

"Who is it?"

All four looked at Shen Qiushan with suspicion, very curious about the person he was talking about.

Shen Qiushan cleared his throat, then pointed at Chen Qingzhu and loudly introduced her: "Ms. Chen Qingzhu, a famous singer and first-prize winner of the National Singer Competition!"

Ah? ?

Shen Qiushan finished speaking.

Lin Xiamo and the other three were all completely bewildered.

mom?
Aunt Chen?

The four looked at each other, their expressions complex.

As mentioned before, the guest performers in the duet competition are of paramount importance.

Ideally, the singer should be well-known and popular, as they are more likely to receive more votes.

Although Chen Qingzhu is also a professional singer, she came from a performing arts troupe and was not very famous.

There will be no extra points!

Besides, Chen Qingzhu is already this age, and it seems like she doesn't quite fit in with them.

"Akiyama, you're kidding, right?"

Lin Xiamo frowned.

Since her relationship with Shen Qiushan underwent a substantial change, she has also changed how she addresses him.

Of course, there were times when Shen Qiushan still strongly urged her to call him "brother-in-law" again.

"of course not!"

"I wrote a new song that's perfect for mom!"

"For your band, it's also an attempt at a different style."

"If we bring this song to the stage of 'Voice of China,' it will definitely be a hit!"

Shen Qiushan said with great confidence.

"New song?"

"Brother Shen, you finally have a new work!"

Upon hearing that a new song was about to be released, Hu Tingting immediately became excited.

Fang Di and Zhu Xinyue's eyes also lit up; their band, Red Rose, was quite popular lately.

What followed was doubt and controversy, with the most criticism being that the Red Rose Band had no other works besides the song "Red Rose".

Upon hearing Shen Qiushan mention a new song, all four of them were naturally very interested.

"Mom, it's time to show them what I've got!"

Shen Qiushan immediately gave Chen Qingzhu a wink.

The new song that Shen Qiushan won in the lottery had already been sent to Chen Qingzhu last night. The latter already knew both the lyrics and the melody by heart.

On the way here, the two went over it twice, and the results were very good.

Chen Qingzhu walked onto the stage, and Shen Qiushan followed. He picked up the microphone and announced with a smile, "Next, please enjoy the song 'The Most Dazzling Ethnic Style'!"
