The most profound impression on the Pearl Tower comes from watching it in the TV series that attracted a lot of people.

The most famous among them is Paramount.

But when Li Zitao arrived at Mingzhu, he realized that there was not even a shadow of Paramount now.

"What's the matter? There isn't even a big ballroom in the public concession, and the only Dahua Hotel closed down in 2029?" Li Zitao looked confused.

What about Feifei Zhiyin, the city that never sleeps?

In addition to the lively entertainment in the concessions of various countries, the public concessions actually look a bit bleak at night, without the atmosphere of the Big Pearl at all.

Known as the top 'aristocratic district', the Pearl West District, also known as the West Public Settlement, is also a place where few people can be seen on the streets.

"Sir, do you want to have some fun?" Seeing Li Zitao looking at the map of the Pearl Tower, the waiter at the door came over.

"Yes, you know?" Li Zitao nodded, casually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out and handed it to the other party.

"Oh, foreign stuff, I've never seen it before." The boy looked at the brand and didn't recognize it. He pinned it to his ear happily and smiled mysteriously: "Then you have asked the right person."

"If you want to have fun, you have to look here." The boy pointed at the map, drawing from the West Public Concession all the way to Mingzhu County.

"The most lively place in the county?" Li Zitao was a little surprised. That's not how it was shown on TV.

"No, look here." The boy pointed at the section marked 'Nanjing Road-Tibet Road' and said cheerfully: "Anyone who has been to Mingzhu will be familiar with the place, but if you ask him to say the name, what will he hear?

Definitely not Nanjing Road or Tibet Road,

People call this place Dance Hall Road. There are dazzling displays on both sides of the road. They are all big dance halls, such as Summit, Far East, MGM, Vienna, Juelu, Daxin, etc.

And the Paramount that our richest man in the Pearl is planning to build is all here."

"Parlem?" Li Zitao was excited when he heard it, and he finally found the place.

"Yes, I heard that when that place is built, it will definitely be the best ballroom in our Pearl. It will also be equipped with a spring floor. When people dance on it, the ground will move with it. It's interesting."

The boy opened his mouth as if he had a smallpox, and what he said was so vivid, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

"Okay, thank you." She put the Camel cigarettes in her pocket into his hand, with a tip of 10 US dollars in it, and gave the boy a broken Coke.

"Hey, what did you say to that fake foreigner just now?" When the boy returned, his companion asked curiously.

"Go, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you look down on people?" The boy retorted unhappily, then raised his head and took out the cigarettes in his pocket with a proud look on his face.

"Look, it's a brand that even Mingzhu doesn't have. Smell this tobacco, it smells really good. It was given to me by the guy just now." The boy cleverly covered up the matter of the 10 US dollars.

If people knew he had 10 dollars in his hand, something would happen. These days, you can be robbed for even 1 dollar, let alone 10 dollars.

…

…

After leaving the house, we headed straight to Mingzhu County, where we arrived at 2 p.m.

The rickshaw just turned into the alley, oh!

Li Zitao's eyes were almost dazzled by the large ballrooms with feasting and feasting on both sides.

Women dressed in cheongsam, wearing foundation and blush, and looking pretty were lazily leaning against the door, or sitting on chairs chatting.

As soon as they saw a car coming, everyone stood up excitedly, waved the handkerchief in their hands, and greeted at the top of their voices: "Uncle, come and play!"

"..." It's really exciting.

Extravagant, too extravagant, even more playful than foreigners.

"Sir, the best dance hall in this area is Vienna, why don't you go and have a look?" The coachman began to solicit customers, and he knew there was a kickback for him.

"Okay, let's go and have a look." Li Zitao didn't mind. Anyway, he was just here to have fun. It's the same everywhere.

But Tu Lezi must first be pleasing to the eye, just like the vulgar fans on the street.

Vulgar, vulgar and intolerable!

The rickshaw finally stopped near the end of the street. On the right was the Vienna that the rickshaw driver mentioned. The neon lights were brightly lit in broad daylight, and the person standing at the door was not a dancing girl.

On the left is the reception desk, with a foreigner standing in a suit and tie.

On the right is the parking boy, who also helps guests carry luggage, opens doors, and runs errands.

"Welcome to Vienna" the foreigner said in a very smooth way. Although he still had an accent, his pronunciation was very clear.

Whether a dance hall is popular or not depends first on whether it has a reputable band, and among the huge dance hall jazz teams, the Philippines is the leader.

They have a large number of people, superb skills, humor, and always have some new tricks that can make people laugh, so they are sought after in major dance halls.

Secondly, it depends on whether you have popular dancers. If a dance hall does not even have a popular pillar, it is not far from bankruptcy.

Entering the door, there is a cloakroom on the right, and a waiting waiter on the left. Take off your hat and hand over all your coats to him.

"Is anyone here today?" Although it was his first time here, Li Zitao acted like a veteran of Hua Cong.

"Sir, it's time for the social tea dance before 5 o'clock. If you want to have fun, you have to wait, but today the adopted daughter of the President of the Flower Country, Xiao Lin Daiyu, will come.

This is her first appearance, you are lucky."

The sky thundered, and Li Zitao felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He felt burned from the inside out.

President of the Flower Country, Lin Daiyu? Making a movie?

Sitting in her seat and listening to the waiter talk about it, Li Zitao realized that this was a flower name, and she was not the first to have this name.

Between him, from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, the most popular dancer in Mingzhu was also named Lin Daiyu, so people liked to call this newly named "Xiao Lin Daiyu."

"I feel like Jia Baoyu's coffin board can't be held any longer." Li Zitao asked the waiter to prepare the drinks, dumbfounded, and looked around casually.

The lights in the ballroom are bright at this time, and three or five sofas are arranged in a circle to form booths.

Sitting there were clerks, ordinary dancers, students, and workers, drinking tea, chatting, and occasionally dancing to a piece of music. It seemed quite lively.

The busiest time in the karaoke hall is at night, but if there is no business during the day, it will not make money if it is empty!

Therefore, major karaoke halls have changed the time from 1 to 5 pm to tea parties. Students and staff come here to drink tea, chat, and have a party.

Ordinary dancers who look ugly can also take advantage of this opportunity to make some money.

After all, by nighttime, they would basically be sitting on the bench, having to find a way to survive.

"Sir, how many tickets do you want?" Before the drinks were served, someone came over with dance tickets.

Dance tickets, one yuan each, 5 pieces.

If you want to dance with a dancer, you get one ticket for one dance, 5 dances for one dollar. If you want to continue after dancing, you have to buy a ticket.

Buying more or less is entirely voluntary. Like some wealthy middle-class people, they will buy a few more copies when they come here. If they meet a dancer they like, they will give them 2 or 3 copies per dance, which is considered a reward.

It is not uncommon to give one book at a time to please the dancing girl.

Of course, these are ordinary dancers. If they meet a famous stage star and want to dance and have a drink, then they have to let gold speak for themselves.
