above the point of the knife

Chapter 131 Jiang Rou's Decision

In the evening, under the guidance of Zhou Sen, Ah Xiang cooks for a table and welcomes Jiang Rou to the Ningxiang Restaurant.

After dinner, Bai Yulan asked Ah Xiang to send Jiang Rou to rest.

"Xiaorou just moved in, let her rest early, there is a performance tomorrow, so don't delay."

The reason Bai Yulan gave is naturally very reasonable.

"Yulan, Xiao Rou doesn't have anyone to wait on her, otherwise, why don't we find someone for her?" Zhou Sen suggested.

"I'm already looking for it, so what do you need to say?"

"I don't worry about you doing things. Like today, I may not be useful in the past, but you will be able to do things as soon as you get out of the way!" Zhou Sen said with emotion.

"I heard some gossip that Tang Peiyuan, who is on the new stage, seems to be interested in Xiao Rou. This person has ruined many women from good families, and he is notorious in the local pear garden business." Bai Yulan said.

"He's taken a fancy to Xiaorou and wants to attack her?"

"I'm afraid that he has already made a move, but it's just that he hasn't succeeded yet." Bai Yulan said, "Then 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 the Ningxiang Pavilion, so it won't be so easy for him to have any crooked minds." 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 watch."

"Well, I'll call the boss of the Double Celebration Club over later, and ask him to find someone to keep an eye on Sun Qingkui for me." Zhou Sen nodded.

"I took Xiaorou back to live in the Ningxiang Pavilion. Tang Peiyuan knew it soon, but he still doesn't know it's because of your relationship. If I secretly buy shares in the new stage now, he will definitely raise the price, but, If I move here, if Su Wenqing and Qin Lang cooperate again, the price of the new stage will definitely increase."

"Then let it rise for a while."

"That's what I thought too. Didn't we buy the Tongle stage? Now we can dig out the pillars of the crosstalk stage 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 will open, and they can just come to our place, and they can also go to the Tongle Stage."

"Well, quietly poach people and sign the agreement." Zhou Sen nodded, as long as there is no shortage of money, everything is easy to do.

"There are still some people in my family. Originally, they didn't like to do the business of Fengyue place. Now that I have changed careers and I am short of manpower, I want to call them over to help. What do you think?"

"Old man, did the bodyguards go to the pier?"

"more or less."

"Great, we are short of manpower, especially trustworthy ones, all come, all come, all are needed!" Zhou Sen laughed.

"Then I'll arrange for them to come over."

"Arrangement, arrangement, must be arranged!" Who is Bai Yulan, and there are some people under him, which is also normal.

Otherwise, as a weak woman, she can gain a foothold in the ice city, surrounded by a pack of wolves, how can she defeat the bite?
It's too unrealistic to rely on her and Ah Xiang's master and servant.

Bai Yulan has a hidden force under her hands, which is the basis for her to gain a foothold in the ice city, and it is the basis for her reversal when it comes to an emergency.

……

The next day, Zhou Sen continued to stay in the Ningxiang Hall to recover from his injuries, but he asked Wu En to send Jiang Rou to the new stage. Anyway, not many people knew him.

Naturally, she couldn't think of Jiang Rou's relationship with him.

Backstage, dressing room.

The actors are nervously busy. After all, they will be on stage soon. Although they are already familiar with each other, the audiences and situations they encounter are different every time they go on stage, so they have to prepare carefully and allow time.

"Xiaorou, why did you come here? The show will start in 10 minutes." The old student Lu Xiaolou saw Jiang Rou walking into the dressing room, and he came in already dressed.

"It's Senior Brother Xiaolou. I woke up a little late this morning. I won't be there until the second round, so I can make it in time." Jiang Rou picked up the eyebrow pencil and began to draw in front of the mirror.

"Xiaorou, let me help you..."

"No, I'll do it myself." Jiang Rou gave way, obviously not wanting the other party to approach her.

"Xiao Rou, Master came back yesterday and said that you moved out of the Dadi Hotel?" Lu Xiaolou asked with his hand back in embarrassment.

"Well, I did move out of Dadi Hotel." Jiang Rou nodded, and there was nothing to hide about it.

"Then where did you move to and didn't tell us?"

"I moved in with a friend."

"You still have friends in Bingcheng, why didn't I know?" Lu Xiaolou was surprised.

"I just met, not long ago, what's the matter?" Jiang Judao, she didn't want to bring Zhou Sen into it, so that Sun Qingkui would know that there would be trouble.

"Are you being cheated? A friend you just met invited you to live at home. Can you be so kind?"

"She can have any bad intentions, we can talk very well."

"Xiaorou, you won't really fall in love with someone, right?" Lu Xiaolou asked.

"Love, where do you want to go? My friend is a woman. We can chat very well. She has a big house and is free. She doesn't want me to pay the rent. Why don't I live?" Jiang Judao said, "OK Come on, Senior Brother Xiaolou, I’m putting on makeup, it’s time for you to play, don’t delay.”

"it is good……"

In today's performance, Jiang Rou's role is not very important, but singing is tiring enough. This singing and this bowl of food are also physical labor.

After two or three hours on stage, a person with poor physical fitness really can't stand it.

At noon, the new stage provided light meals. Everyone in Ruiqing's class ate in the dressing room. Jiang Rou used to eat with everyone. After becoming a role, she ate in her own independent dressing room, that is, by herself.

But eat the same as everyone else.

In fact, she was still willing to eat with the big guys, but after she became a role, some people in the troupe were jealous, and there were more rumors and gossips, so she simply took the food and ate it by herself.

"Xiao Rou, the dishes for lunch today are not bad, and there is actually 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 food..." Jiang Rou was also puzzled, why her food today was suddenly much better than usual.

"Xiang Ning, don't be surprised. This is the single stove I arranged for you to cook. From now on, you will eat differently from them." Tang Peiyuan walked in from the outside, stared at Jiang Rou, and said with a smile.

"Boss Tang, this is inappropriate. I'll eat the same meal as everyone else, don't make any specialization." Jiang Rou directly refused. She naturally knew that Tang Peiyuan had no good intentions for her, so how could she eat the meal he arranged.

"It will be different soon." Tang Peiyuan chuckled, "You take your time, and I won't accompany you." After speaking, he turned around and left.

"Boss Tang..."

Lu Xiaolou's complexion was different, Jiang Rou naturally noticed it: "Senior brother Xiaolou, what's going on?"

"This morning, there was news that Master was going to sell our theater troupe to Boss Tang. He also said that you, Xiao Rou, will be Boss Tang's man in the future. He also said that you will eat well and drink spicy food with you. What kind of agreement is it to rent a theater?" It's just a word from you," Lu Xiaolou said.

"What, foster father wants to sell Ruiqing class to Boss Tang?" Jiang Rou was shocked when she heard that, "Where is foster father?"

"Master went out early in the morning, and Uncle Liu is in charge of the theater troupe." Lu Xiaolou said awkwardly.

"Didn't the adoptive father say where he went?"

"I said I went to see the house..."

"Xiao Rou, if Master really sells the Ruiqing class to Boss Tang, who will be the head of the class?" Lu Xiaolou asked.

"Brother Xiaolou, master sold Ruiqing class, do you agree?" Jiang Rou asked.

"I, I..." Lu Xiaolou muttered, he seemed to have never thought about this question, so how would he answer it.

"Brother Xiaolou, although we said that this time we are going back to Bingcheng to return to our roots, but there is no need for foster father to sell the theater troupe, is he doing this to get rid of us all, and then go to his happy life alone? "Jiang Rou asked. She is not weak or unintentional, but kind. After all, Sun Qingkui raised her and taught her how to make a living. This is an objective fact that she cannot change.

But it doesn't mean that she will obey Sun Qingkui's words without a bottom line. If so, how can she become an underground worker with faith.

She has her own opinions and has a bottom line, but usually everyone only sees her kind and "weak" side, forgetting how she fought with Sun Qingkui for the rights and interests of everyone in the troupe.

"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 the new stage. He is both the boss of the new stage and the boss of our theater troupe. Don't look at his current conditions. The promise is good, 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 for at least five years..." Jiang Rou said.

"Junior Sister Xiaorou, what shall we do?"

"The most valuable thing about the theatrical troupe is not the costumes, but the people. It is the contracts we signed with the foster father. These contracts are the most valuable. If the foster father really wants to sell the troupe, these contracts will definitely not be handed over. However, as long as When we got to the top of the regiment, even if he wanted to sell us, we couldn’t do it, we just signed a contract with him, not with Boss Tang, we are not goods, we are people, as long as we don’t admit it, he will have nothing to do with us.” Ginger Judo.

"But the transfer of contracts and the sale and purchase of the government are approved?"

"It's not like we're selling our bodies. Besides, there are conditions in the contract to terminate the contract." Jiang Rou said.

"I understand, as long as we don't want to, even if the master sells the Ruiqing class, he can't do anything to us. Is that what you mean?" Lu Xiaolou said.

"Yes, if the adoptive father wants to sell the Ruiqing class, then let him sell it. This sign is not worth much. We can start a new one." Jiang Judao.

"However, once we fall out with Boss Tang, we will have no place in Bingcheng." Lu Xiaolou said.

"I haven't reached that point yet, so don't worry, tell everyone to stabilize and do their own things well." Jiang Judao.
