Chapter 139 - 135: It needs dedication
Therefore, perhaps these devices may not necessarily have to be used from the time of opening to the final closing, but they will be ready. After Finn Lewis said this, Kay Lee was stunned for a moment, but she soon nodded and said: “Alright, then sing me a song.”
Finn laughed, told her to wait a moment, before heading directly over to the bar. As he approached, the manager was already waiting for him. He had received a report from the two front door attendants, and seeing Finn in person, he recognized that Finn was not a fraudster. Although Finn was wearing an outfit that seemed very ordinary, each piece was quite expensive.
“Sir, what can I assist you with?” the manager asked.
“I would like to use the DJ booth over there, may I sing a song for a lady?” Finn pointed at the equipment and asked.
“This… w-well, it’s possible, but now is mealtime… there are many guests.” This manager was a bit troubled. The people dining here were all wealthy and upper-class figures. Finn wanting to sing at this time, especially without renting the entire place, could easily frustrate other guests.
“In that case, I’ll get the approval from the guests here. If even one person disagrees, then I won’t sing, alright?” Finn offered.
Hearing what Finn said, the manager breathed a sigh of relief quickly nodding, “Of course, sir please come with me.” Following that, he quickly led Finn towards the DJ booth.
Soon, Finn had grabbed the live microphone. The staff here were professionals. Normally, his job was relaxed, just playing piano tracks. However, that doesn’t mean he’s not professional. After opening the microphone, Finn first tapped on the microphone, before saying: “Hello everyone.”
Despite it being mealtime, this extremely expensive Federal restaurant wasn’t filled to capacity. In fact, there were only about a dozen tables with guests, the rest of the seats were empty.
“Today, I ran into a beautiful lady. Her mood doesn’t seem to be very good, so I want to sing a song for her. Right now, I might disrupt everyone’s mealtime, but I want to know, am I allowed to sing a song for this lady whose mood is down? For a woman to be in a bad mood is something even God cannot forgive.” Finn spoke seriously. He found his verbosity uncomfortable though, damn, this elegant speech really doesn’t suit me, but to get these people’s permission, he could only continue this way.
Sure enough, after listening to Finn, most of the people below showed kind smiles and straightened up to clap for him. Some foreigners even cried out ‘good’. Some others, perhaps somewhat reluctant, saw that most people were smiling at Finn. They would naturally not lose face, and so they generously clapped. So, Finn got everyone’s approval.
Seeing that nobody had any objections, the manager naturally also had none. So, Finn whispered to the DJ and soon a very classic and familiar tune started playing. Although most foreigners might not understand this song, the patrons here were at least foreign workers in Flame Nation, and many were locals.
However, Finn didn’t mind that. Choosing this song had its purpose. According to the information he got from Zero, Kay Lee’s favorite song was “Woman Flower”. It probably had something to do with her upbringing in a single-parent family with only her mother to raise her. Maybe she has a unique feeling for this song.
The performance stage wasn’t too far from Kay Lee’s booth, so Finn could clearly see her expressions. When the familiar tune started playing, Finn noticed that Kay was startled. Her expression quickly turned blank, seemingly thinking of something. Finn didn’t mind and started to sing along with the music. Initially, he was slightly nervous, but he quickly relaxed.
Although Finn hadn’t undergone any professional training or practice, to the average person, he sang quite well. As for professionals, like Kay Lee, she clearly didn’t care about how Finn was singing. Instead, she was thinking that, as soon as she had thought of this song, or rather the people and events associated with this song, Finn had chosen it.
She liked this song, but it was something that no media outlet knew. Kay never told anyone, it was her innermost secret. As for the songs she mentioned in media interviews, they were just a few songs she liked off-hand. But now, Finn had hit the nail on the head.
The song quickly ended, and the people in the restaurant were all quite receptive. Finn had indeed done well. Although he was a man singing a woman’s song, he performed well, and it wasn’t noise, so everyone was happy to give face. The applause was quite warm. Finn bowed to thank everyone before returning the microphone to the DJ and stepping off the stage.
Upon returning to Kay’s table, she seemed to have come out of her trance, staring at Finn, she asked, “How did you know to sing this song? How did you know I was upset?”
Finn acted quite ostentatiously, pointed to his own heart, then very earnestly said, “Here, I could feel that your mood was not very good, although I don’t know why. But I felt this song suits your current feelings, so I sang it, and I think you quite liked it. Of course, I know your favorite song is not this one, but I think this song does fit with your current mood.”
Of course, he said this deliberately to ease some doubts in Kay’s heart. Hitting unexpectedly where it matters most, this was bound to have the best effect, right?
“Thank you.” Hearing what Finn said, Kay Lee wanted to tell him that this is actually her favorite song, but she held back. She just thanked Finn.
“There’s no need to thank me. However, even though I sang this song, and felt that your mood fit with this song, I still think you should be a bit more cheerful. Look to the better side, there are always some beautiful things in the world, right?” Finn responded earnestly..
