June 25th, Friday night…
Singing continued to echo throughout Fish-Catching Internet Cafe. However, the seats at the bottom of the stage were empty. There were only two or three people seated, drinking alcohol.
The singer was listless; people listening to him off-stage were falling asleep.
Ma Yang's face was a mask of worry.
What should he do?!
As the competition around the various Fish-Catching Internet Cafes intensified, the Fish-Catching Internet Cafes were getting fewer and fewer customers.
Although they had a resident singer, the other bars around had more than that. They also had discounts on all their drinks on the menu!
Those bars were crowded and lively. Many of Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's old customers were jumping ship, too.
After all, most people came to bars to play and socialize. Few people wanted to drink in a cold, quiet place. What's more, this place was not cheap.
