Jiang Rou (Xiao Xiangning) performed very successfully on the new stage. She went on stage for three consecutive days and performed "Flower and Matchmaker", "Qin Xianglian", "Du Shiniang" and the most talked about "Shooting the Camel Dragon" among Bingcheng people. 》(If you don’t understand, you can search it on Baidu, ha).
The venue was packed and it was hard to get a ticket.
The new stage had to sell additional standing tickets, which made a lot of money, and the boss's face glowed with excitement almost every day. .
Under the fire, Xiao Xiangning's reputation naturally spread, and newspapers also made detailed reports on this famous Pingju opera actor from Guannai, especially the honors she received for her performances on stage in cities such as Peking and Fengtian.
Also, this Xiao Xiangning was an authentic Songjiang native. When she was very young, she went to Guan Nei with a theater troupe to make a living.
Finally, now I have achieved success in my studies and returned with a great reputation.
The new stage does not belong to the Ruiqing troupe. After performing for three days in a row, it was time to take a break. The troupe couldn't stand the continuous rotation.
You know, when business is good, the show lasts from morning to night.
"Daddy, I have a day off tomorrow. I want to go out?"
"You want to find the little wolf cub again?" Sun Qingkui smoked a dry cigarette and said unhappily, "I told you earlier, that little wolf cub was disobedient and died a long time ago. If he is still alive, why don't you come here?" you?"
"You said he was a little wolf cub, how could he die so easily?" Jiang Rou said calmly. She didn't hate Sun Qingkui much, but she didn't feel grateful either. Although it was Sun Qingkui who initiated her skills, she still This is inseparable from her hard work.
She was not the only child that Sun Qingkui adopted. All the children with no qualifications and no future were sold by him.
Like her, she is nothing more than a cash cow in his hands.
Jiang Rou really wanted to leave, and no one, let alone Sun Qingkui, could stop her. The contract of prostitution could not trap a famous actor like her at all.
"Okay, I can't persuade you. Let Xiaolou accompany you, so that you two can take care of each other." Sun Qingkui grimaced. Of course, he wanted to keep Jiang Rou's money tree in his hands, but he couldn't. She is no longer a little girl now, she has seen a lot, how can she let her be at his mercy?
"Senior brother is so busy, so there's no need. It's not like I don't know the way." Jiang Rou declined politely.
"There are a lot of thieves in Bingcheng. You, a young and beautiful girl, are not safe alone." Sun Qingkui reminded.
"When I was in Peiping, I went out alone on the streets, so there was no problem." Jiang Rou pushed back.
"Can that be the same?"
"Godfather, are you worried that I will never come back?" Jiang Rou looked unhappy, turned around and asked.
Sun Qingkui smiled awkwardly. He was a little afraid of Jiang Rou. He was indeed a little embarrassed to be told what she was thinking. He did not want to lose Jiang Rou, a cash cow, under any circumstances.
"Godfather, I promised to help you gain a foothold in Bingcheng, so I won't break my promise." Jiang Judao.
"Xiaorou, my godfather is not worried about your safety. After all, we haven't been back for more than ten years, and the people and things here are not that familiar anymore."
"Don't worry, godfather, I know how to protect myself." Jiang Rou stood up and said, "godfather, it's getting late, I should rest."
"Oh, okay, okay..." Sun Qingkui glanced at Jiang Rou's figure, suppressed the only evil thoughts in his heart, and left quickly.
…
Zhou Sen didn't go to Ningxiang Pavilion in the past two days, mainly because he had a lot of trivial matters at hand, so he pulled a phone line.
He must be present to install the telephone.
The exercise equipment he ordered has also arrived one after another. Some of them need workers to install them, especially the sandbags, and the beams need to be reinforced.
You still have to wait for the wooden mannequin, but there is a spot reserved.
Zhou Sen also cleared out some unused space and built an arena similar to a martial arts competition.
Jin Suying comes every day, comes here, and never leaves once she comes, staying here.
Seeing Zhou Sen moving to the warehouse and getting some exercise equipment, I was naturally curious as to why he was suddenly interested in exercise.
Zhou Sen didn't explain either.
Out of curiosity, Jin Suying conducted her own investigation and analysis.
The relationship between Zhou Sen and Bai Yulan of Ningxiang Pavilion is not a secret, but those who know it know it, and those who don’t know it don’t know it.
Jin Suying naturally knew.
She checked Bai Yulan's past, and then constructed it in her mind. Zhou Sen's current weird behavior was probably all to please Bai Yulan.
Bai Yulan was born in a family of military generals in the Qing Dynasty. She practiced martial arts since she was a child. It's hard to judge how good her martial arts are. But it is normal for people born in such a family to like men with a "loyal and heroic" style.
Bai Yulan's late husband Lao Ma was like this.
This time Zhou Sen focused on another woman, and Jin Suying couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart. Thinking about the flattery he had given her in the past, it was in line with his usual style, so it was not surprising.
Not only Jin Suying, but also Gu Laoliu, who knew a little bit about the situation, thought so. He didn't have that much thought.
Who Zhou Sen likes and is good with this time is a private matter, and it doesn't cost other people's money. Besides, this matter has to be done.
Su Wenqing and Qin Laoqi, a business tycoon, competed for a woman, and finally lost to a little-known policeman.
That's legendary enough.
"Secretary Jin, you are Mr. Qiu Shan's special assistant. Why do you come here and stare at me every day?" Zhou Sen really didn't want to see Jin Suying in front of him.
"Mr. Akiyama instructed that I need to fully cooperate before you are familiar with the work of ultra-high stocks." Jin Suying said.
"I've already read the information and documents you gave me. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll just go back to you and ask."
"Isn't this convenient for you to ask?" Jin Suying said with a smile, "It saves you running around and wasting time on the way back and forth."
"Forget it, do whatever you like." Zhou Sen had no choice but to wait for her to have enough trouble and leave on her own.
"Boss, what should we have for lunch today..." Gu Laoliu opened the door and came in. When he saw Zhou Sen, he asked naturally.
"Roast the sweet potatoes and eat them with some salt. You can also dip them in soy sauce if you want." Zhou Sen glanced at Jin Suying beside him and said.
"Hey, let's eat roasted sweet potatoes again." Gu Laoliu sighed. Since Jin Suying came over, they had either roasted sweet potatoes or roasted potatoes for lunch, or sorghum rice and pickled cabbage soup. There was not even a bit of food on the soup. Oily.
That's it, it's better to go to the police station cafeteria to eat. At least, this is the Chinese New Year, and there's still some fun.
However, we can't leave Zhou Sen with Jin Suying, we can only stay and eat together.
"Then stir-fry some more soybeans. Judging from your life this year, you've gained at least two or three pounds. You need to scrape off the fat and clear your stomach." Zhou Sen cast a sidelong glance.
When Gu Laoliu heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry. He had gained two or three pounds. Have they been constipated for several days?
He also knew that as long as Jin Suying was around, they would never have a good life. This woman used to be indifferent to her boss, but now she stalked her. He had never seen anything like this.
Jin Suying also knew that Zhou Sen used this trick to force her to leave, but she really got into the fight. It was just eating roasted sweet potatoes. It seemed that no one had suffered enough yet. Let's see who could bear it first.
Two days passed in a flash.
Jin Suying found that the time it took for her to go to the toilet became longer, and she was also prone to acting out...
The recruitment advertisement that Ye San'er placed in the newspaper finally had people applying, but not many of them met Zhou Sen's requirements.
He planned to become apprentices, and there were two very clever seedlings. He asked Wu En to lead them to find Axiang.
Now I work as a handyman in Ningxiang Hall.
Good pastry chefs are hard to find. Those with good skills will either do it themselves or have been poached by others with high salaries.
Therefore, trying to find a pastry chef who meets his requirements through recruitment is really like finding a needle in a haystack.
…
"He's looking for a pastry chef?"
"Yes, he is also recruiting apprentices at the same time. Moreover, he has registered a company called 'Sen' Ji. He should be planning to open a pastry shop in partnership with Bai Yulan from Ningxiang Pavilion." Jin Suying has been in the warehouse for the past few days. Rewarding.
Reported the relevant situation to Akiyama Nosuke.
"Does he want to go into business?"
"I don't know, but he mortgaged all the company shares that Anthony left to him to the bank. With such a large sum of money, he can't just sit back and let it go. So, in addition to helping Bai Yulan, he probably also has ideas of his own." Jin Suying analyzed road.
"Is his attitude towards you still the same?" Akiyama Nosuke asked.
"Almost, Mr. Akiyama, how much longer do we need to observe?" Jin Suying was also curious about what secrets Zhou Sen had that deserved Akiyama Nosuke's attention.
"It's almost time." Akiyama Nosuke said, "You should pay special attention to the people around him, especially the new ones."
"You mean, there are still people who will take advantage of him?"
"You'll know when the time comes."
…
"The messenger hasn't taken action yet. Do you want our help?" Arman called Poporov into the office and asked.
Poporov shook his head: "As for the Chinese comrades, we can only request them to assist us in our work, but cannot give orders."
"Can you push me a little more?"
"I'll find a way to see her again." Poporov thought about it and said.
"As soon as possible, the Japanese base camp has formulated a subversive plan to design our Far East region, codenamed: Far Eastern Spring. This plan is likely to be related to the people we are concerned about. We must understand and master the relevant information immediately." Arman urged.
"Yes, Mr. Arman, I will work hard." Poporov agreed.
…
Pao Tui Street, "福" Ji Grocery Store.
"Comrade Poporov, I'm already thinking of a way. I can't just come to you, right?" Jiang Judao.
"Need our help?"
"If he knows that I have returned to Ice City and still remembers me, he will definitely come to me." Jiang Rou said with certainty.
"Then how can we let her know?" Poporov said.
"There are many ways to know, such as through newspapers, or other people's conversations, introductions, etc., but it can't be too deliberate." Jiang Rou thought about it and said.
"Your performance was very sensational in Ice City. I believe he should have heard about it, but if you wait passively, how long will it take? Otherwise, how about I arrange for you to have a chance encounter?" Poporov thought for a moment and said.
"Don't do it. This will alert the Japanese around him. Moreover, I found someone around him. I don't know whether they are following and monitoring him or secretly protecting him." Jiang Rou said.
…
Zhou Sen actually also knew that Jiang Rou had returned to Ice City, with such a sensational performance and such a large-page introduction in the newspaper.
He was not blind, so how could he not see it.
It's just that more than ten years have passed, many people and things have changed, and things have changed. Does she still remember her little friend who was sold to the troupe together?
What's more important is that they are now people from two different worlds, and he, Zhou Sen, has only inherited the memory of his original body.
The best thing to do is not to disturb her, so as not to cause trouble and danger to her.
