In the evening, under the guidance of Zhou Sen, Axiang cooked a table of dishes himself and welcomed Jiang Rou to stay at Ningxiang Restaurant.
After dinner, Bai Yulan asked Axiang to send Jiang Rou to rest.
"Xiao Rou has just moved in. Let her rest early. There is a performance tomorrow, so we can't delay it."
The reason given by Bai Yulan is naturally very reasonable.
"Yu Lan, there is no one around Xiaorou to take care of her. Otherwise, how about we find someone for her?" Zhou Sen suggested.
"I'm already looking for you, why do you need to tell me?"
"I can rest assured that you are doing things like this. I may not have been useful in the past, but it will become a problem as soon as you show up!" Zhou Sen said with emotion.
"I heard some gossip that Tang Peiyuan of this new stage seems to be interested in Xiaorou. This man has ruined many good girls, and he is notorious in the local troupe business." Bai Yulan said.
"He has taken a liking to Xiaorou and wants to attack her?"
"I'm afraid that he has already taken action, but he has not succeeded yet." Bai Yulan said, "As for Sun Qingkui, you know better than me. If he really wants to sell Xiaorou..."
"I'll skin him alive!"
"Don't worry, Xiaorou is now living in Ningxiang Pavilion, so it won't be so easy for him to have any crooked ideas." Bai Yulan said.
"That's true, but with their relationship, I'm worried that Xiaorou won't be too wary of Sun Qingkui. This guy can do anything." Zhou Sen worried.
"Just find someone to keep an eye on."
"Well, I'll call the boss of Shuangqinghui over later and ask him to find someone to keep an eye on this Sun Qingkui for me." Zhou Sen nodded.
"I took Xiaorou back to live in Ningxiang Pavilion. Tang Peiyuan soon found out, but he doesn't know yet. It's because of your relationship. If I secretly acquire the shares of New Stage now, he will definitely raise the price. However, If I make a move here and if Su Wenqing and Qin Lang continue to cooperate, the price of the new stage will definitely rise."
"Then let it rise for a while."
"I have the same idea. Didn't we buy the Toilet Stage? Now we can dig out the pair of cross talk stage pillars for the new stage. It seems that their contract with the new stage has less than three months left." Bai Yulan said , "Three months later, our teahouse opened, and they could just come to us and go to the ceilidh stage."
"Well, quietly recruit people and sign the agreement." Zhou Sen nodded. As long as there is no shortage of money, anything can be done easily.
"There are still some people in my family. Originally, they didn't like to be in the business of Fengyue Place. Now that I have changed my career and I am short of manpower, I want to call them over to help. What do you think?"
"Old man, did you use to be a bodyguard at the pier?"
"Roughly the same."
"Great, we are just short of manpower, especially those we can trust. Come all, come all, take them all!" Zhou Sen laughed.
"Then I'll arrange for them to come over."
"Arrangement, arrangement, must be arranged!" Who is Bai Yulan? It is normal that she has some people under her.
Otherwise, if she, a weak woman, could gain a foothold in the Ice City, how could she survive the bite of a pack of wolves?
Just her and Axiang's master and servant, that's too unrealistic.
There is a hidden force under Bai Yulan's hands. This is the foundation for her to gain a foothold in Ice City. It is the basis for her reversal when a critical moment comes.
…
The next day, Zhou Sen continued to stay in Ningxiang Pavilion to recuperate, but he asked Wu En to send Jiang Rou to the new stage. Not many people knew him anyway.
Naturally, he could not imagine the relationship between Jiang Rou and him.
Backstage, dressing room.
The actors were busy nervously, after all, they would be on stage soon. Although they were already familiar with the performance, the audience and situation they encountered were different every time they went on stage, so they had to prepare carefully and allow time.
"Xiaorou, why are you here? The show is about to start in ten minutes." Lu Xiaolou, an old student, saw Jiang Rou walking into the dressing room. He walked in already dressed.
"It's Senior Brother Xiaolou. I got up a little late this morning. I won't show up until the second show, so I can make it in time." Jiang Rou picked up the eyebrow pencil and started to draw it in front of the mirror.
"Xiaorou, let me help you..."
"No, I'll do it myself." Jiang Rou gave in, obviously not wanting the other party to get close to her.
"Xiaorou, master came back yesterday and said that you moved from Dadi Hotel?" Lu Xiaolou took his hand back slightly embarrassed and asked.
"Well, I did move from the Dadi Hotel." Jiang Rou nodded, there was nothing to hide about this matter.
"Then where did you move to and didn't tell us?"
"I moved in with a friend."
"You still have friends in Bingcheng, how come I didn't know about it?" Lu Xiaolou was surprised.
"We just met, not long ago, what's wrong?" Jiang Ju said, she didn't want to drag Zhou Sen into it, otherwise something would happen if Sun Qingkui knew about it.
"Have you been deceived? A friend you just met invited you to stay at his home. Can you be so kind?"
"What bad intentions could she have? We can talk about it very well."
"Xiaorou, are you really in love with someone?" Lu Xiaolou asked.
"Love, what are you thinking about? My friend is a woman. We chat very well. Her house is big and free. She doesn't want me to pay rent. Why don't I live there?" Jiang Judao, "Okay. Now, Senior Brother Xiaolou, I’m putting on makeup, it’s time for you to go on stage, don’t delay.”
"good……"
In today's performance, Jiang Rou's role is not very important, but singing is still tiring. Singing and making a living are also physical work.
After two or three hours on stage, it was really hard for someone with poor physical fitness to stand up.
For lunch, New Stage provided a light meal. The Ruiqing team ate in the dressing room. Jiang Rou originally ate with everyone. After becoming a role player, she would have her own independent dressing room, that is, eat alone.
But we eat the same as everyone else.
In fact, she was still willing to eat with the big guys, but after she became a character, some people in the troupe became jealous and there were more rumors, so she simply took the food and ate it by herself.
"Xiaorou, the food for lunch today is good, there is even braised pork..." Lu Xiaolou walked into Jiang Rou's dressing room with a lunch box.
"Xiaorou, why do you still have chicken and fish?" The food on the small table was obviously much richer than what Lu Xiaolou and the others ate.
"I don't know, Jin Shuang brought me this meal..." Jiang Rou was also puzzled as to why her meal today was suddenly so much better than usual.
"Don't be surprised, Xiang Ning. This is a single stove that I arranged for you to cook. From now on, you will eat differently from them." Tang Peiyuan came in from outside, stared at Jiang Rou, and said with a smile.
"Boss Tang, this isn't appropriate. I'd rather eat the same meal as everyone else. Don't make anything special." Jiang Rou refused directly. She naturally knew that Tang Peiyuan had ill intentions towards her, so how could she eat the meal he arranged.
"It will be different soon." Tang Peiyuan chuckled, "If you eat slowly, I won't accompany you." After saying that, he turned around and left.
"Boss Tang..."
Lu Xiaolou had a strange look on his face, and naturally Jiang Rou noticed it: "Brother Xiaolou, what on earth is going on?"
"This morning, news came out that Master is going to sell our theater troupe to Boss Tang. He also said that Xiaorou, you will be Boss Tang's person from now on. He also said that he would follow you to be popular and drink hot food. What kind of contract to rent a theater is just You just said a word." Lu Xiaolou said.
"What, the foster father wants to sell Ruiqing Class to Boss Tang?" Jiang Rou was shocked when she heard this, "Where is the foster father?"
"Master went out early in the morning. Uncle Liu is in charge of the theater troupe." Lu Xiaolou said with a smile.
"Didn't your foster father tell you where he went?"
"I said I was going to see the house..."
"Xiaorou, if Master really sells Ruiqing Class to Boss Tang, who will be the class leader?" Lu Xiaolou asked.
"Senior Brother Xiaolou, master has sold Ruiqing Class, do you agree?" Jiang Rou asked.
"I, I..." Lu Xiaolou muttered. It seemed that he had never thought about how to answer this question.
"Senior Brother Xiaolou, although we are returning to Bingcheng this time to return to our roots, there is no need for my adoptive father to sell the troupe. Does he want to leave us all behind and live his happy life alone? "Jiang Rou asked. She is not weak or without opinions, but kind. After all, Sun Qingkui raised her and taught her how to make a living. This is an objective fact and she cannot change it.
But this does not mean that she will obey Sun Qingkui without any bottom line. If so, how could she become an underground worker with faith.
She has her own opinion and a bottom line, but usually everyone only sees her kind and "weak" side, forgetting how she fought for the rights of everyone in the troupe with Sun Qingkui.
"Brother Xiaolou, I think the theater troupe cannot be sold to Boss Tang. Once sold to Boss Tang, we will not be able to negotiate terms with New Stage. He is both the owner of New Stage and the owner of our theater troupe. Regardless of his current conditions You promised well, as long as he wants to attack us, do we still have the power to resist? We can't leave, everyone has signed a contract of at least five years..." Jiang Rou said.
"Junior sister Xiaorou, what should we do?"
"The most valuable thing about the troupe is not the costumes, but the people. It is the contracts we signed with our adoptive father. These contracts are the most valuable. If the adoptive father really wants to sell the troupe, he will definitely not hand over these contracts. However, as long as When we are at the level of the regiment, he can't do it even if he wants to betray us. We just signed a contract with him, not with Boss Tang. We are not goods, we are people. As long as we don't recognize it, there is nothing he can do about it." Ginger Judo.
"But the government recognizes contract transfers and sales?"
"We are not selling ourselves, and besides, there are no conditions for rescinding the contract." Jiang Rou said.
"I understand, as long as we don't want to, even if Master sells Ruiqing Class, he can't do anything to us. Is that what you mean?" Lu Xiaolou said.
"Yes, if my adoptive father wants to sell Ruiqing Class, let him sell it. This sign is not worth much. We can start a new business." Jiang Judao.
"But once we fall out with Boss Tang, we will have no place in Bingcheng." Lu Xiaolou said.
"We haven't reached that point yet. Let's not rush. Tell everyone to stay calm and do their own thing." Jiang Ju said.
