The Journey Starting from the Siheyuan Chapter 487: Head of the Opera Troupe
The second child hurriedly explained: "Dad, I'm doing business."
"Pah," Guo's father slapped his second son: "Follow me home!"
Xiao Weizi on the side guessed that the old man must have had a misunderstanding. He had just heard some neighbors saying something like the second son's proposal, so he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Guo's father and whispered a few words.
"No?!....Second brother, not a proposal?"
"Proposal?!" The second child covered his face and said aggrievedly: "Dad, have you ever seen a proposal with gongs and drums?"
"This is not what your fat aunt said...it's not that you always did some unreliable things in the past." Father Guo felt extremely embarrassed, turned around and left: "Remember to come back for dinner."
She tried to close the door but couldn't. Pei's mother said impatiently:
"Guo Xiaohai, what is going on?"
The second child was busy laughing, handed over a big red book and said: "I would like to ask Aunt Pei to come back as the leader of the Triumph Theater Troupe."
"Me? Leader of the drama troupe?" Pei's mother couldn't believe it. She was stunned for a moment, then reached out and pinched Guo Xiaohai hard.
"Hiss~~Aunt Pei, let go...!"
The second child's face was a little twisted in pain. He was provoking whomever he was provoking, and they were all attacking him no matter what.
After confirming that it was not a dream, Pei's mother let go of her hand and said to the second child: "Xiaohai, are you kidding auntie?"
The second child hurriedly handed the engagement letter to Pei's mother: "Aunt Pei, how dare I joke with you about this kind of thing.
I have been a fan of Peking Opera since I was a child. Now that I have some conditions, I want to make some contribution to Peking Opera, so I established the Triumph Opera Troupe.
But I can’t sing myself. Among the people I know, you are the most famous.
I remember back then, Aunt Pei, you were a famous Peking Opera star who had played the role of Yu Tang Chun, so I came here shamelessly."
After taking the letter of appointment, she opened it and looked at it. Mother Pei's stern face just now was immediately replaced by a smiling face.
"Here...Xiao Hai, stop standing at the door and go into the house quickly."
He enthusiastically pulled the second child and walked into the courtyard.
After entering the living room, he said to Pei Xiaoyun, who was looking confused: "Why are you just standing there? Why don't you pour tea for Xiao Hai?"
"Xiao Hai, you actually know that I played Yu Tang Chun!" Thinking of the most glorious time in her life, Pei's mother looked proud: "At that time, the Beijing Opera Troupe also invited me to play the matchmaker in The West Chamber. Do you know who played Ying Ying at that time?
?"
The second child was busy trying to follow him: "Which famous person is he?"
"Mr. Mei." Mother Pei became more and more excited as she spoke: "The troupe has said that they are going to perform in America. The tickets have been bought. Let me tell you..."
Ten minutes later, when the second son was about to doze off, Mother Pei finally stopped talking.
The second child hurriedly answered: "Although our troupe is newly built, as long as Aunt Pei is willing, we can tour the country and the world when the new play is arranged. Then you can take the troupe to America, Queen's Kingdom
Waiting for the show..."
"Global tour..." Pei's mother was stunned by the news and suddenly said: "Oh... I haven't been on stage for many years..."
"Hey~~! What a big deal." The second child complained in his heart, trying to coax you to play, but you took it seriously, "Although you haven't been on stage for so many years, I know you have been practicing at home every day these years. Aunt Pei
, the matter of the group leader..."
Mother Pei was a little embarrassed and said, "Then let me... try...?"
"Great, then it's settled." The second child excitedly held Mother Pei's hand and said, "From today on, everyone has to call you captain."
"Captain...I am the leader of the opera troupe..." Mother Pei kept mumbling and repeated, and stood up: "Xiaohai, sit down, I will go change into costume..."
After saying that, he entered the room.
Pei Xiaoyun hurriedly approached Guo Xiaohai and said dissatisfied: "Boy, what are you doing?"
The second child glanced at the closed door and whispered: "You saw it, I asked your mother to come out and sing."
Pei Xiaoyun frowned and said, "Where did the theater troupe come from? Also, where did you ask my mother to sing in an opera?"
The second child said proudly: "Didn't I just say that the new troupe has just been established two days ago. The venue is ready, our karaoke hall."
"Cabaret? Are you crazy? The karaoke bar is not open?" Pei Xiaoyun was shocked, "By the way, besides my mother, who else is in this troupe? Props, costumes, etc. are all ready? Why didn't I know?"
"Isn't the karaoke hall originally closed in the morning? In the future, I plan to hold special opera performances. It will be four or five hours a day, whatever your mother wants. It will be open as usual in the afternoon." The second child took the tea from Fei Xiaoyun and took a few sips.
: "As for the equipment personnel and so on, your mother is the leader, she shouldn't worry about these things..."
The karaoke hall was still open for business as usual, and Fei Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief. But when she heard that the troupe was an empty shell, her head was filled with black threads, and there was nothing left. She was counting on her mother... Haha...
.It must have been a mess...
After telling the second child about his worries, the second child couldn't help but smile and whispered: "With so many things to worry about, do you think your mother still has time to keep an eye on you? And she can even go on stage to sing. How can she still do it?"
I'll force you again."
Pei Xiaoyun's eyes lit up, and he patted Guo Xiaohai heavily on the shoulder: "Boy, I really looked down on you before."
The second child waved his hand proudly: "It's a trivial matter, not worth mentioning."
Fei Xiaoyun suddenly said: "But if my mother has organized the troupe and arranged the plays, no one will watch when they go on stage..."
The second child gave a reassuring look: "The seats will definitely be packed by then... Just keep your heart in your stomach."
The bedroom door creaked open.
Mother Pei, who was dressed in a costume, pulled Guo Xiaohai into the courtyard: "Xiaohai, you are a fan of Peking Opera. I am happy today and will give you a piece of 'Yutangchun'..."
Thinking back to the time when Luochangyuan was home, it was so pitiful to welcome the new and see off the old.
He was deceived into a flood cave and suffered a lot. He was unjustly imprisoned and almost mutilated with a knife.
Now that the sky has opened its eyes, revenge comes to retaliate for injustice..."
.............................
At the entrance to the first floor of the office building of Guoji Food Factory, Wang Lidong and several managers from the factory were waiting for Zheng, a senior official from the district.
A week ago, we made an appointment to inspect their food factory at one o'clock this afternoon. The entire factory has been busy for several days.
At this time, secretary Xiaofang handed the phone to Big Brother: "Mr. Guo, the phone number of Secretary Zheng, senior official."
Wang Lidong took the Big Brother: "Hello, Secretary Shen."
Secretary Shen on the other end of the phone said: "Mr. Guo, I'm sorry, Senior Official Zheng has an important meeting at the last minute and won't be able to arrive at your factory until 2 o'clock."
"It's okay, it's okay. Thank you, Secretary Shen. I'll see you at 2 o'clock." After hanging up the phone, Wang Lidong said to the department heads behind him: "The leader will arrive at 2 o'clock. Everyone should disperse first. We will meet here at 1:45."
Then he said to the second child: "Let's go back to the office first."
Entering the office on the second floor, the second child lay down on the sofa and complained: "I have something to do at 3 o'clock. With this delay, I don't know when I can leave."
Wang Lidong picked up the newspaper and read the news:
"Okay, brother, if there is no emergency, I will definitely not change the itinerary temporarily."
Xiao Weizi asked curiously: "Brother, what did Senior Official Zheng have in mind when he came to our place this time?"
The second child also asked: "Yes, brother, it's been a week, and why haven't you told us anything about what you found out?"
Wang Lidong looked away from the newspaper, looked at his second son and said, "I would like to tell you two, but I haven't been able to see you for the past two days."
Lao Er and Xiao Wei Zi laughed awkwardly.
"The Xihutong Soda Drink Factory in our district is about to close down, so I probably came here just for this matter."
"Hutong Soda is going to close down, is it impossible?" The second son sat up in surprise and said, "Business has not always been good. Last time I went to their factory to negotiate a contract, the factory entrance was very busy. There were many incoming cars waiting.
Pick up the goods."
Originally, the Golden Arch Cafeteria wanted to purchase soda from this factory, but unfortunately the other party looked down on the self-employed and asked them to purchase from the sales department. In the end, they had no choice but to go to a collective soda factory in Dongcheng District to purchase the goods.
Wang Lidong said to his secretary Xiaofang:
"Xiaofang, you heard about this. Tell them about the Xihutong Soda Drink Factory."
Secretary Guo Xiaofang said to the second brother and Xiaoweizi: "Second brother, brother Xiaowei, aren't Sino-foreign joint ventures popular recently, especially in the beverage industry, the eight famous beverages in the country, Beibinyang soda, frozen soda, etc., all of them
Established a joint venture with foreign capital."
"The directors of the successfully restructured factories were either promoted or received great benefits. The director of the Xihutong Soda Drink Factory was so jealous that he could not sit still. At an investment promotion meeting in the city, he met a big boss over there.
He is a capitalist and has a great background. I heard he is the great-grandson of Baldhead."
"Wait a minute, Xiaofang." Xiaoweizi said in surprise: "Is this bald man the 'Transportation Brigade Captain'?"
"Yes, I heard it's this person."
"You dare to come here? Aren't you afraid of being caught?"
"We have been friendly since we were young, but Wanwan is our compatriot, what are we afraid of?!"
"Xiaoweizi, don't interrupt." The second child said to his cousin: "Xiaofang, continue talking."
