Qiankun Storyteller

Chapter 26
Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, there are conflicts of interests, intrigues, and bloody storms!
It is a small county town, and a small bookstore is no exception.

Su Wen and Meng Shi left the stage and went to a private room on the second floor.

That's right, the private room on the second floor.

The Mengshi Bookstore is also divided into upper and lower floors. The storytellers are mainly located on the lower floor, forming a group of seats in four directions. In the center of the pedestal, the storyteller opens his mouth and speaks. Clear and distinct.

Apart from the group seats on the lower floor, there is also a Sifang elegant room on the upper floor, which is a place of quietness amidst the hustle and bustle. Not only can you avoid the crowds, but the effect of radio and listening to books is not bad. Exclusively for distinguished guests.

Tickets are usually not sold in these Sifang private rooms, and they are reserved for those famous people. Even if such distinguished guests may not have one in a few years, there are still a few private rooms left empty in the bookstore.

Otherwise, one day when distinguished guests come to your door, but you don't entertain them well, or even have no place to entertain them, then you will bring disaster to yourself.

Meng Shi led Su Wen to the private room on the second floor, which already showed the seriousness of this matter.

Of course, this is nonsense. With Meng Shi's connections and power network, how can ordinary people dare to trouble him?
Therefore, the people who come to the door today are not ordinary, even Meng Shi can't handle it, and he can't be dismissed, so he can only bow his head.

It was only natural for such a person to sit in the private room on the second floor.

Meng Shi was subdued, and the bookstore bowed his head, why did he ask Shang Su?

because……

"Yo!"

As soon as Meng Shi and Su Wen reached the second floor, they heard a strange yin and yang call: "Master Meng, great talent Su, you are here, please, please, Hall Master Ma, Boss Zhou, the shopkeeper Meng is back!" , Mr. Su Da has also arrived."

While greeting, the man pushed the elegant room away, with a sly smile on his pockmarked face, fully expressing the four characters of villain's pride.

Hu San!

It's that rascal again.

Ever since Su Wen joined Meng Shi's Bookstore, got Meng Shi's protection and became more and more popular, the number of times this local ruffian came to make trouble has decreased, and recently he disappeared without a trace. It seems that he has given up the idea of ​​seizing Su Wen's wealth.

But now it seems...he just temporarily withdrew his minions and greed, and went to find a backer for himself!

That's right, backer, this Hu San is a rascal, how can he be so rampant in front of Meng Shi.

Now he dares to shout and act mischievously because there is someone behind him.

Meng Shi ignored him and walked into the house, Su Wen ignored him and followed Meng Shi into the private room.

"Humph!"

Seeing the two people ignoring him like this, Hu San felt annoyed but didn't dare to explode, so he could only snort coldly: "See how long you two will be happy?"

After all, he also entered the private room.

Su Wen followed Meng Shi into the private room, and then heard the sound of chatting and laughing, looked over the screen, and saw the two of them having a drink and chatting in the room.

One of them was wearing a strong suit, with a strong physique, a square long face, and a rough face. There was a scar under the left eye that slanted to his lips, like a centipede entrenched, very ferocious, and there was a strong and fierce aura from the inside to the outside.

This person was sitting on the main seat, with a fat man sitting beside him.

The fat man was wearing brocade clothes, smiling like a Maitreya, his face was full of aura of wealth, and there was a faint glimmer of light in his small and slit eyes, he looked like a man who was careful and careful.

The two sat and chatted happily, Su Wen and Meng Shi came in and didn't stop until Hu San came forward with a smile: "Master Ma, Boss Zhou, shopkeeper Meng Da and Mr. Su Da are here!"

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the two men glanced at Meng Shi and Su Wen, the well-dressed man didn't make any gestures, sat there and continued drinking if no one else was around, only the fat man in brocade clothes got up, and cupped his hands to Meng Shi and Su Wen: "Meng Shi and Su Wen Shopkeeper, Mr. Su, I had a very happy conversation with Hall Master Ma, but I didn’t notice the two of you, please take a seat, please sit down!”

"Boss Zhou is polite!"

Although he wished to tear the other party apart, he still had to be courteous on the face, so Meng Shi could only return the salute, opened his chair and sat down.

Only Su Wen didn't sit down, stood behind Meng Shi, looked down and looked secretly.

The boss didn't care that week, he sat down and poured a glass of wine, laughed and said: "Meng shopkeeper, you are a senior in the industry, I respect you, little brother!"

Meng Shi was silent for a while, and finally raised his glass to respond, and drank the depressing wine.

"Shopkeeper Meng is refreshing!"

The boss also put down his glass that week: "I, Zhou Dahai, like to make friends and do business with cheerful people like you... Hu San!"

"coming!"

Hu San stepped forward and handed a roll of papers to Zhou Dahai, Zhou Dahai opened the papers again and handed them to Meng Shi: "I have prepared the papers, shopkeeper Meng has a look, if there is anything wrong, Or if you think something is not satisfactory, just say it, if I ask someone to modify it, it will definitely satisfy Shopkeeper Meng!"

Meng Shi looked at him coldly, and didn't take the volume of Manjusri immediately.

Zhou Dahai didn't care either, the hand that handed the document stopped in the air, and there was still a Maitreya smile on his face.

After a moment of stalemate like this, the well-dressed man on the main seat finally gave a cold snort, squinted at Meng Shi and Su who was behind him and asked, "Meng Shi is not willing to sell Ma Chengshan's face, and do it with Boss Zhou." Is this a business?"

As soon as these words came out, the pressure came like a mountain, which made people frightened. Meng Shi's face paled for a moment, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. the volume of documents.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, Ma Chengshan let out a cold snort, and withdrew his power.

Su Wen stood behind Meng Shi, had a panoramic view of everything, and also showed a look of paleness and horror.

To put it bluntly, just one sentence: money touches people's hearts!

There is no love or hate for no reason in the world, and it is impossible for Ma Chengshan and Zhou Dahai to trouble Meng Shi for no reason.

They came to the door today for only one reason, and that was Su Wen!
With the new book and work of Water Margin, Su Wen successfully gained fame, and now he is the number one storyteller in Meng Shi's bookstore. Bowl full.

There are as many people as there are people, especially among peers. The market is so big and there are so many audiences. If you become popular, you have to seize the market, the audience, and other people’s jobs. How can your peers not be jealous of you? Hate you?

Mengshi Bookstore earns a lot of money, and it is in full swing, which means that the business of other bookstores is withered and the appearance is deserted.

Therefore, they must do everything possible to trouble Meng Shi. Recently, several bookstores approached Su Wen and offered him a high price to find another job, but he rejected them all.

This kind of role is just a small role, a small trick, and it can't get on the stage at all. Neither Meng Shi nor Su Wen paid much attention to it.

Until the boss Zhou Dazhou made a move.

This Zhou Dahai is the owner of the largest theater troupe in Goulan, Anping County.

Other people's bookstores, other people's theater troupes, after July [-]rd, [-]% of the bill, but his theater troupe takes [-]% of the income, [-]% for the white, [-]% for the black, and finally he will take [-]%. One point is reserved for the artistes.

Very income-generating, a penny of wages, what is this?
If it were someone else, with this kind of management, the people under him would probably have dispersed and run away.

But this week Dahai is different, he has a backer, a big, big backer, and that is Ma Chengshan, Hall Master Ma, who is currently sitting on the main seat.

Needless to say, Hallmaster Ma Chengshan knew that he must be related to Heifengtang, one of the two major gangs in Anping County.

There are three main hall masters in the Black Wind Hall, and Ma Chengshan is one of them. Although he is the last one, for ordinary people, he is also a figure on the top of the sky, and he must not be provoked.

Not to mention ordinary people, even a small and powerful figure like Meng Shi dare not compete with this Ma Chengshan.

Although Zhou Dahai is a fat-headed guy, he has a beautiful younger sister who became Ma Chengshan's uncle. Wearing the tiger skin of Heifengtang, he used various means to squeeze and annex several theater troupes. Well, those storytellers and singers were all forced by him to sign documents that could be called prostitution, so they could only honestly work for him.

In this way, after several years of development, Zhou Dahai has only opened the Zhou family troupe for a few years, and it has become the largest troupe in Goulan, Anping County. It has been squeezing the living space of other troupes, Quyuan, and wants to be the only monopoly business .

Now, this pickpocket's eyes are fixed on Su Wen, who has been getting a lot of limelight recently, and wants to swallow this piece of fat in his belly, and even bite other people.
