Counterattack 1988

Chapter 87 Rent a Venue

Grandma Shen went to the countryside of Gusu to visit relatives, but she hasn't returned to the city yet, and Shen Xue still lives alone.

"Yan Fengying" is being played on TV, and Ms. Ma Lan, a famous Huangmei opera performing artist, performed three-pointedly, bringing Yan Fengying, a great master of a generation, to life.

Shen Xue steamed the fish head, sat down and chatted with Wang Lin, and said, "I watched this drama once when it premiered in the first half of the year. Belly, alas!"

Wang Lin didn't want to make too many comments on this, because it didn't make any sense. He asked, "Since you can sing Yue opera, and Mr. Zhao is willing to recruit you to go to Yue opera, why do you hesitate?"

Shen Xue said with a smile: "I'm almost 20 years old, and I'm a little too old to transfer to the Yue Theater at this age. Those who come from majors usually start learning opera at a young age, and perform on stage when they are around ten years old."

Wang Lindao: "In terms of professional life expectancy, I think opera is longer than dancing, right? Seven to eighty years old, there are many old people who can still sing opera, and the older they are, the more energetic they are."

Shen Xue pursed her lips and smiled: "That's true. Teacher Zhao Yi will retire soon, but her singing, reading, and acting are equally excellent. Even after retirement, she can still be a teacher to teach students. Dancing is not enough. , like in our regiment, basically all the regiment members over the age of [-] have been transferred to support staff."

Wang Lin pondered and said: "If you want to ask my opinion, I don't think you are too big now because you have a solid foundation. Whether it's dancing or singing, the next ten or twenty years will be your golden age. It depends on which industry you like to develop in.”

Shen Xue said: "Let me think about this again! By the way, I promised you last time that I would show you a solo dance, but I never found a chance."

"Do you still remember? I thought you forgot." Wang Lin said, "I look forward to this day every day."

Shen Xue said: "Whenever you are free, you come to the song and dance troupe to find me, and I will dance for you in the practice room."

Wang Lindao: "Actually, you don't have to go to your group, you can just dance at your home."

"Here? The space is too narrow to jump out." Shen Xue got up and said, "I'll go and see the fish head."

After the fish head was steamed, she fried another vegetable, and the two began to eat.

"You live alone, aren't you lonely?" Wang Lin asked her.

"There are dozens of people in the yard! Every morning, the noise starts before dawn. It's very lively. How can I have time to be alone?"

"Shouldn't loneliness be a state of mind?"

"It's okay, I've been used to being alone since I was a child."

Wang Lindao: "The loneliness I thought was not in the mountains but in the streets, not in one person but in the midst of many people."

Shen Xue suddenly felt a little dazed. Maybe she didn't really understand the meaning of loneliness until this moment?
Wang Lin once tasted the taste of loneliness.

After his parents passed away, Wang Lin lived at home alone. That kind of loneliness can devour a person's soul!
It was also during this period that he and Liu Kun were still fighting with Geng Hao and his ilk. As long as he didn't go home, he could do whatever he wanted outside.

It wasn't until after marrying Li Wenxiu that there was another person in the family that he was freed from loneliness.

Although he and Li Wenxiu were not harmonious, the time they were together was basically noisy, but it was this kind of noise that made him know that he was not alone.

Li Wenxiu became Wang Lin's spiritual partner virtually.

Loneliness can certainly give birth to freedom, but it can also create neurosis.

Wang Lin, who had experienced loneliness, heard from Shen Xue that she was used to loneliness, so he couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

If there is someone around her who can quarrel with her and have fun with her, she will definitely understand how terrible the loneliness was.

"Shen Xue! Shen Xue!" Someone shouted from downstairs.

"Hey!" Shen Xue agreed, walked to the door, and said downstairs, "Bailing, I'm at home! Why are you here?"

"Oh, my little beauty, have you really forgotten? Didn't you agree to see the venue?"

"Bailing, I really forgot about this."

Wang Lin heard the sound of going up the stairs.

A young, pretty young woman entered the room.

Whether it's the Yue Theater or the Song and Dance Troupe, there are many beautiful women. If you pick any one, you can be regarded as a peerless beauty.

The person who came was Zhao Bailing, Shen Xue's colleague. On the International Women's Day, she and Shen Xue had performed at the Shenfang Factory together.

Seeing Wang Lin, Zhao Bailing laughed aloud and said, "I know why you forgot our agreement. It turns out that you value sex over friends!"

Shen Xue made a big face, and lightly hit her with a powder fist: "I call you a fool! This is Comrade Wang Lin, and you have seen it before."

"Hey, it looks familiar!"

"Have you forgotten? He is the mechanic of Shenfang Factory. Didn't we meet him when we performed at Shenfang Factory?"

"I'll just say it! He broke all the new reward watches to save you, didn't he?"

"Yes, it's him."

"Oh, you've been in touch all the time? Is it okay?"

"Don't talk nonsense, Comrade Wang Lin and I have a very pure revolutionary friendship!"

After hearing this, Wang Lin smiled slightly: "Comrade Shen Xue and I are just ordinary friends. Do your best, I'll go first."

Zhao Bailing said: "It's okay, we just want to hold a dance training class outside, and I asked Shen Xue to go see the venue together!"

"Open dance training classes? This is a good idea." Wang Lin said, "I support you."

"Hey, what's the use of you supporting us? You just practice your words, but you don't have any real actions!" Zhao Bailing lived up to his name, his mouth was like a lark, chattering non-stop.

Shen Xue smiled and said: "Wang Lin, don't mind, she is famous for her sharp mouth and tofu heart, but she is actually very nice. Last time your watch broke, she told me! You know how to do business, If it doesn't waste your time, can you accompany us to see the venue? It's also good to help us negotiate the price. "

Wang Lindao: "Yes. Why are you thinking about holding a training class?"

Zhao Bailing said: "Prices are rising so fast now, if we don't try to make some money for ourselves, we will starve to death sooner or later! Clothes on Huating Road cost tens of dollars each, and I dare not go shopping anymore! "

Shen Xuedao: "In our group, many people have started to go to sea. Some people went to the south to perform, sing and dance, and they can earn four or five hundred yuan in a few days!"

Zhao Bailing said: "That's right! Su Hui and the others can earn [-] yuan a month by running to Guangzhou! Only we are young and timid, so we dare not go to the south."

Shen Xue said: "Do you really think that money is easy to earn? I heard from Su Hui that they all perform in nightclubs and even drink with the guests! Can you let go of your figure and face? Go drink with those playboys Joke?"

Zhao Bailing said: "Hey, I know, Su Hui and the others are all married and have children, and the family burden is heavy, so it doesn't matter. We are still big girls, if we go out to run commercial shows, how will we find a partner in the future? Shen Xue, didn't a director ask you to act in a play last time? Why didn't you go? What a great opportunity? What if you become famous? Like Gong Xue, become a big star?"

Shen Xue shook her head lightly: "Acting? That road is not easy."

Zhao Bailing said: "That's right, you miss the characters in other people's movies, but others miss your young and beautiful body! You and I are the kind of traditional girls who can't let go, so we can't get along in society. I!"

Wang Lin wondered to himself, thinking that this Zhao Bailing was young and quite mature.

The three of them went downstairs talking and laughing, and each rode their bicycles to see the venue.

This is a large frontage on the second floor, covering more than [-] square meters, and there are two other offices. Judging from the posters and promotional papers pasted on the wall, it should be the office space of a company before. After the company moved , it is empty here.

The person in charge of the rental was a middle-aged man who called himself Manager Sun. He was short and fat with squinted eyes.

"So big?" Shen Xue said, "Is it too big? How big is the practice room in our regiment?"

"A practice room should not be about [-] square meters? I think it's just right for three to four practice rooms here!" Zhao Bailing said, "Maybe we only have one class? Our time is limited, and we can't teach at different peaks .Besides, children who come to learn dancing don’t have much spare time. We must open a few more classes.”

Shen Xue whispered: "Bailing, we are just starting out, how can we have so much money to invest in? First find a small venue and try to open a class. If the business is good, we will rent a larger venue."

Manager Sun raised his wrist, looked at the time, and said impatiently, "Are you renting it? Let me tell you, if you don't rent it today, it will be rented out tomorrow!"

Zhao Bailing said: "Manager Sun, let's rent, how will the rent be calculated?"

Manager Sun said: "One yuan is one square meter. There are 350 square meters here, which means 350 yuan a month. The rent is paid once a year, which is 4200 yuan!"

Both Zhao Bailing and Shen Xue were taken aback, and the two looked at each other, inevitably a little pale.

Shen Xue said: "I have to pay a rent of 4200 yuan at a time? Isn't this too expensive? Manager Sun, can this rent be paid on a monthly basis? We rent it and have to decorate it, which will cost a lot of money!"

Manager Sun sneered with a look of disdain: "Looking at your well-dressed clothes, I thought you were powerful people, so I talked to you! If I had known that you had no money, I wouldn't have wasted my time entertaining you! What do you do if you don't have money?" Company! How good is it to find a man to marry?"
