None of them had slept well the night before, their minds were filled with the dazzling lights and luxury of the dance hall, as well as the dreams they once had in their youth, leaving them with a lingering sense of wistfulness. 

But when they woke up in the morning and saw their husbands and children beside them, they came back to their senses. 

Without Xiao Chu’s abilities, they could only continue getting by as before.

Still, their horizons had been broadened. They now knew that there was another, more exciting way to live in this world. They might never achieve it themselves, but they could let their children have that kind of life.

In the washing area, Chu Qiao smiled faintly and continued doing her laundry. 

Things were progressing exactly as she had expected, there was no need for her to step in personally.

With Xuan Hongxia and the others around, it was enough to clear up the rumors. 

It was true that the dancing hall wasn’t regarded as a respectable place by many.

However, she was able to support herself thanks to her abilities. For this reason, she had paid a hefty sum to give Xuan Hongxia and the others a night at the dance hall.

First, to reassure them that the place wasn’t as problematic as they thought and that, unless someone chose to leave with other individuals, nothing unlawful could actually occur there. 

Second, it needed to show them the real nature of her work and win them over with her abilities.

People who make a living by their skills will always be respected, regardless of the time or place.

“Did you actually attend the dance hall last night?” Curious, someone inquired.

“Naturally, we did! We were treated by Xiao Chu. In a single night, we spent more over two hundred yuan. A glass of champagne cost ten yuan and tasted quite nicely. The entrance fee alone was five yuan. Even the sunflower seeds tasted better than the ones I bought myself, but they were more costly. The fruit was exquisite.”

Xuan Hongxia said, sounding a bit pained at the memory. 

When she bought sunflower seeds herself, she could get a big bag for just a few cents. 

However, a single dish of seeds last night cost five yuan and didn’t even weigh a pound. She had been tempted to eat the shells as well.

“Xiao Chu’s performance was the highlight, but the food was all pretty good. Her drumming style was exactly like what you see on TV! It was incredible, but none of you saw it. One night is fifty yuan, plus customer tips. Xiao Chu earned 150 yuan last night by playing the drums for less than an hour. The money appeared as if it were dropping out of the sky. It makes sense that she can purchase a sweater for 168 yuan without blinking.”

The women spoke animatedly, their expressions lively and excited. 

More and more people gathered in the corridor, including quite a few men who came over to join the commotion. 

Gu Jianshe hadn’t had time the day before, but today he found people to spread the word throughout the factory about Chu Qiao working at the dance hall. In less than half a day, the news had spread everywhere.

But now people were hearing a different version of the story, and many were curious. 

After listening to Xuan Hongxia and the others, the balance in their minds began to tilt toward their side.

“One hundred and fifty in one night? What kind of work does Xiao Chu do?” Someone asked loudly. 

“Didn’t I just say?” Xuan Hongxia furiously retorted. “She plays the western instrument known as the drums. People downstairs dance while she performs on stage. Everyone seemed to have gone insane. I’m telling you, nobody can resist dancing in that kind of setting. Last night, I was swaying along and  felt much better.”

“I danced too, and even though my waist hurts now, I feel fantastic.” It makes sense why so many individuals enjoy attending dance halls.

The others had jealous looks when they heard this. 

They also wanted to try the ten-yuan-per-glass imported alcohol. And from the sound of it, the dance hall didn’t seem so scary, it was just a place for singing and dancing. Their machine tool factory even had a ballroom dancing activity room.

“The entrance ticket costs five yuan?” Someone asked. 

“Yes, it costs five yuan to enter, but that only allows you to use the first floor. VIP visitors are on the second floor. On the second floor, Xiao Chu gives a performance. She made it possible for us to get up there and view everything yesterday.” Xuan Hongxia stated.

Everyone’s jealousy increased. Wondering if Chu Qiao would treat them again, they all went to see it for themselves on the second floor.
