The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen and the four of them arrived in Sanya. That night, the night stall on the top floor of the Banmutian Hotel on Renmin Road opened without any advertising. Cao Minfang and Zhang Chen said that this hotel relied on word of mouth and was attracted by advertising. If you come here once, there won't be a second time. In such a small place, Sanya is really good and spreads quickly.

That night, although it was open, it was not officially open to the public. Everyone who came came with hospitality coupons. The related households and old customers they invited, Cao Minfang and Zhang Chen said, they can't do it tonight, okay? , I’ll watch it starting tomorrow night.

She was giving Zhang Chen a vaccination.

After dinner, Zhang Chen and the four of them went for a walk on the beach outside. When they returned to the lobby of the hotel, Liu Ligan looked at the second-hand goods and said, "Is there any stock? We can't just spend the night with the four monks tonight." All night?

The fool is right, this night of old wine, it is interesting to drink flower wine. There is no stock, forced to raise, there is no Ding Dong anywhere in the world, I will go find it for you, you wait here.

The second guy drove out. The three people here were all suspicious. Zhang Chen said, "Where can I find Ding Dong in Sanya? I have been to Sanya so many times and I have never seen it once."

The second-rate guy went out for half an hour and came back. To their surprise, he really brought back four women.

Zhang Chen looked at these four women. All of them were about 1.7 meters tall, with good temperament and appearance, and they didn't look like Dingdong. When asked, they all said that they were models.

The second-rate guy quietly told them that he was a model who was raised by force, but he was not Dingdong. After the Sanya New Silk Road Model Contest, there were a large number of such people in Sanya. How could they make a living without being raised by others?

Liu Ligan was surprised. He asked the second-rate guy, "Why haven't I found these beauties several times since I came here? You haven't been to Sanya for a few years. Where did you find them?"

Zhang Chen and Meng Ping also felt strange. Even if they saw these four women on the street, they would not think that they were the kind of people who could just come and go when they were called. Why did you find them?

The idiot laughed and said, I drove around in the street and could smell who was doing this.

Are you a fucking police dog? Zhang Chen cursed.

The second-rate guy said that he can't smell other things, but this one, I can really smell it when I smell it.

Meng Ping laughed and said, you are a professional manager.

Eight people arrived at the upstairs of Banmutian Hotel, and there happened to be a table. Lu Hong left a table for them. When they arrived upstairs at about eleven o'clock, the upstairs was already full of seats, and the performance on the stage had already begun.

When the four girls arrived, they all said that this place was great, much better than the Chunyuan seafood stall. The quality at Chunyuan was too low, and they said they would come here more often in the future.

You idiot, you're right, bring those people here and kill them.

Fuck you, the girls giggled and cursed.

Zhang Chen paid close attention to the reactions of the surrounding tables and found that all of them were in high spirits. Zhang Chen also felt confident. He saw Liu Ligan staring at the stage. What was being performed on the stage was Peking Opera, so far away and the surrounding environment is so noisy, it is impossible to hear what is being sung.

Zhang Chen asked Liu Ligan, what are you looking at?

Liu Ligan turned back to look at him, his eyes a little confused. Liu Ligan said, Zhang Chen, do you still remember the night we left Yongcheng? On the Gaofang of the theater troupe, we and Teacher Wu and Xu What the teacher and others said may have been a joke at the time, but I have never forgotten those words.

Zhang Chen listened, and his heart skipped a beat. He knew that what Liu Ligan was talking about was that night, they joked that if Hainan became prosperous in the future, they would invite a troupe to perform in Hainan. At the time, it was just a joke, and it was also a bit of a show of wealth. Don't forget each other.

After so many years, Zhang Chen has indeed not forgotten each other, because Feng Laogui is now the leader of the group, and Liu Ligan has almost completely lost contact with the group, but Zhang Chen has always been in contact, and he still sponsors some money from the group every year.

But for people like Teacher Wu who have been acting all their lives, not only money can solve the problem. For them, the most painful thing is probably that there is no drama to act in, and there is no place that will invite them to perform, right? When an actor leaves the stage, it's like a fish leaving the water.

Now that I have such a venue, and during dinner, the restaurant below can still perform, isn't it time to fulfill my promise back then and invite them to perform?

In addition, Wu opera is very "noisy" in nature, so it is very suitable to perform in such an occasion.

Zhang Chen smiled and said, you reminded me when you said it. I will call them tomorrow to see if they are interested in coming.

"Bullshit, it doesn't matter what you're interested in. We sing for dead people. It's just this stage. It's their chance to perform. Zhang Chen, let me remind you, let them perform according to the market. Let Cao Minfang and them Talk, don’t be flattering, at most come and treat them to a meal. If they can’t survive such a good condition, then the troupe should be disbanded.”

Liu Lizhan said, Meng Ping could hear what they were talking about, Meng Ping was right, what Zhuangzi said made sense, Zhang Chen, you can protect him for a while, but not for a lifetime. Only if they have this ability can they survive.

After finishing their supper, the eight of them went back to the Banmutian Resort Hotel. As soon as they arrived at the lobby, Meng Ping and Zhang Chen excused themselves as they were too full and wanted to go for a walk on the beach in front, and threw the four women to Liu Ligan and Erguo. , they walked through the front garden to the beach.

The two of them were walking on the beach and smoking. After a while, the idiot came to them. Zhang Chen and Meng Ping were both surprised and asked, "What are you doing here? Where are those people?"

"Forcing them, I put them all in the pole room and let them fight the Four Kingdoms. Isn't the pole going to be enjoyable? Just let him have enough." The second-rate guy said, "I told them that I will get him in one go. Afraid."

Zhang Chen and Meng Ping laughed, and Meng Ping asked: "You idiot, have you really quit?"

"I feel itchy in my heart, but I don't dare. I'm afraid that if I go back sick, I'll lose more than I gain. These people are worse than Dingdong, who knows how to protect the guy who eats. They don't know how to protect themselves. They are forced to raise them. If they bring If I get sick, my whole life will be over, and my wife will fight me to the death."

The second-rate scolded, making Zhang Chen and Meng Ping laugh so hard that they couldn't stand upright.

The three of them sat down on the beach. Meng Ping sighed. He said that every time he came to Hainan, he was very emotional. Thinking about his past, he didn’t know where he got the courage. Zhang Chen, let me tell you, in the past few years, I really feel that I have less and less fighting spirit. If I have to endure such hardship again, I can't do it, so I feel that if I keep messing around, I might as well find a place to stay quietly.

"That's because your life has been better. If you were still as poor as before and were raised by force, would you have no fighting spirit? You still have to stay quietly and have no worries about food and clothing. Only then will you have the conditions to stay quietly. Otherwise, you I can only starve to death quietly."

The bastard scolded, and both Zhang Chen and Meng Ping laughed. Meng Ping said, yes, bastard, you can be my life mentor now.

The next morning, it was already past nine o'clock when Zhang Chen woke up. He leaned on the bedside, finished smoking a cigarette, picked up the mobile phone on the bedside table, and called the Yongcheng Wu Opera Troupe's office. Feng Laogui answered the call. , Zhang Chen told him the matter and told him that there would be no problem in coming here to perform for two months every year.

"Then let's go to Wenzhou for a tour in the early years." Feng Laogui was happy when he heard it, and said to Zhang Chen: "And it's still in the same place, and there's no need for a transition. Zhang Chen, that's great, I'm still here I’m worried that there will be no performance and people will disperse soon.”

"Well, Laogui, you call Teacher Wu and Teacher Xu over and discuss it. If everyone agrees to perform, I will call you in an hour and ask the general manager here to discuss the specific performance with you. Regarding the contract, she also came from a theater company, and she understands the theater's routine very well," Zhang Chen said.

Feng Laogui said yes, everyone would definitely agree. There was no performance, and everyone was itching in their hearts even though they didn’t say anything.

"Okay, Laogui, I'll call back in an hour." Zhang Chen and Feng Laogui said.

Zhang Chen got up, went to Cao Minfang's office first, and told Cao Minfang about the matter. He told Cao Minfang that anyway, any conditions for other performance groups to come here should be given to them. Don't be special. By the way, they come and go. I'll pay for the travel expenses, you don't have to think about it.

Cao Minfang said yes.

Zhang Chen stood up and said to Cao Minfang, I will go have breakfast first, and when I come back later, I will call them and you can talk to them.

Cao Minfang nodded.

Zhang Chen went to the restaurant and saw Liu Ligan and the four women eating breakfast at the same table. Zhang Chen was about to turn around and leave when Liu Ligan saw him and stopped him.

Zhang Chen had no choice but to go over, sit down, and tell Liu Ligan about his phone call with Feng Laogui. Zhang Chen ate a little in a hurry, then excused himself to call the group and left.

Zhang Chen walked to the lobby below, sat and smoked a cigarette, and checked that the time was almost up. He stood up and was about to go upstairs. When he saw Meng Ping and the second-rate guy coming in from the outside, Zhang Chen said curiously, this is so early in the morning, you guys are going out to do this. Well?

Meng Ping said, I asked this life mentor to give me a lecture.

The idiot scolded, "You are forced to raise me." We went to the restaurant and saw four life instructors giving lectures to the pole. We escaped and went to Jinling Resort for breakfast.

Zhang Chen laughed.

Zhang Chen arrived at Cao Minfang's office, sat down, and called Feng Laogui's office. In Feng Laogui's office, not only Teacher Wu and Teacher Xu were there, but Xu Jianmei also ran away after hearing that there was another performance. They came over, and as soon as the phone call came through, they were chattering on the phone, rushing to say hello to Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen saw that Cao Minfang was sitting across from him and kept smiling. Zhang Chen was curious. He covered the microphone with one hand and asked Cao Minfang, "Why are you laughing?"

"Do you feel very friendly?" Cao Minfang said, "I called the troupe and it was the same. The people in the troupe are just different from other places. I still miss them."

Zhang Chen nodded, and he told Feng Laogui that going to Hainan is not as good as going to Wenzhou. Just let the express company consign the props. Set a time, Laogui, and you can send the list of people coming and their ID numbers to Me, let me book your air tickets from Hangzhou to Sanya.

When the other end of the phone heard this, he became excited again. Teacher Xu shouted, I have never flown on an airplane in my entire life, and I didn’t expect that I would be able to get on an airplane this time. That’s great!

Zhang Chen said with a smile: "Lao Gui, you can discuss the specific performance contract with Mr. Cao."

Feng Laogui said yes.

Zhang Chen handed the phone to Cao Minfang and walked out. Meng Ping and the others were still waiting for him downstairs, planning to go to the Tropical Botanical Garden together.
