In Beijing, the neon lights at night look like stars in the sky, a dazzling galaxy.
Bai Lu drove slowly to the location Chen Qiaoli mentioned, a place she had never been before, because it was quite far from both her work unit and residential compound. Usually, friends wouldn't gather here. Moreover, this place was evidently a newly opened KTV, likely not long since its inauguration, as the celebratory red banners for the opening hadn't been taken down, displaying a 25% discount promotion.
Regarding Chen Qiaoli's choice of location, Bai Lu thought that perhaps it was close to either Chen Qiaoli or some classmate attending the gathering, or perhaps a friend or relative of a classmate was involved with the KTV. After all, a 25% discount wasn't particularly appealing. Bai Lu herself had friends who offered KTV discount cards or membership cards that were generally below a 50% discount.
KTVs in Beijing are as varied as a hundred blooming flowers, competing fiercely.
