C9 Achieving Cooperation

"Don't worry, the income won't be any less than it is now. On the contrary, it will be even more. " Tong Qian saw his expression and guessed that he would not be happy.

Only then did owner of the teahouse's expression visibly improve. He still had doubts in his heart, but he did not say anything.

As long as he agreed, the rest would be easy to handle.

The footsteps that were shaking until they were dizzy finally stopped. The class leader stopped in his tracks, "Just do as you said. "

At this rate, the troupe probably wouldn't be able to hold on for long. They had to find another way out.

Tong Qian nodded in satisfaction, "Then I will come back tomorrow. You go back. . . " She glanced at the troupe on the stage and said meaningfully, "Let's discuss it with them. "

After settling the class leader, the matter became 70%. Tong Qian really did not want to deal with the remaining 30% today.

A group of people came out of this place in a grandiose manner.

"Class leader, why did you agree?"

"That woman is only in her teens. I see that she is full of nonsense. How can I easily trust her?"

"That's right. . . "

As soon as the few of them walked out of the door, the troupe started to discuss among themselves. Because they were far away, even though they did not hear it clearly, they still roughly knew what was going on.

They were all seniors in the troupe. Previously, they had taken a few pillars and their business was getting worse and worse. Their monthly salary was also very little. Now, they were also at the end of their ropes and could collapse at any time.

However, it was also better than having nowhere to settle down. The old class leader had fallen into the woman's trap, and their future days were in danger.

For a moment, everyone was chattering away, and the worry between their brows deepened.

The old class leader had not spoken a single word from the beginning until the end, and his brows were tightly knitted together.

Now, he had staked everything on this gamble. He had lived for more than half of his life, and this was the first time he had taken such a risk. It was not as if he did not have any worries in his heart.

He sat by the wooden platform for a long time. When the debate was at its most intense, he arched his back and left in secret.

The next day, Tong Qian was woken up early in the morning. She sat on the donkey carriage in a daze. Jee Xiuping closed the door and stuffed the things in his arms to her.

The fragrance of food entered her nose and washed away her sleepiness. Tong Qian opened her eyes and saw the pancake in her hands.

"I am really in a hurry today. You should eat some first. Don't starve yourself. "

Jee Xiuping looked at her gently and handed the water bag over.

Tong Qian quietly looked at the thing in her hand and suddenly felt warm in her heart.

"What about you?"

Jee Xiuping had already sat on the donkey cart. He turned around and smiled. "I have already eaten. "

When they rushed to town, the sky was already bright, and the remaining sleepiness disappeared.

Tong Qian took the script and went to the troupe. Since it was still early and the class leader had not come yet, she still found a place to sit.

After rushing for a long time, she felt a little hungry. She took out half a pancake from her pocket and ate it carefully.

Jee Xiuping opened the curtain and entered. He saw this scene. He frowned slightly and took her things over.

"I'll go and buy you some red bean cakes. You can't eat this anymore. "

Tong Qian's heart softened when she saw him like this. However, she still smiled and said, "Why?"

She deliberately raised her chin and her eyebrows curved into a beautiful arc.

Jee Xiuping's handsome face was filled with a hint of affection, and his ears turned red from being stared at by this teasing gaze.

Tong Qian could not help but laugh out loud.

"Then I will leave first. " He fled in panic.

Coincidentally, there was a market today, and the place where the red bean cakes were sold was quite far away. It would take at least two hours for him to come and go.

The red bean cakes had not arrived yet, but the class leader had arrived first. It was likely that there had been a notice earlier, and everyone had arrived.

Tong Qian ignored the gazes that stuck to her body, "The class leader has spoken to them?"

That group of people did not seem to be too convinced. They raised the corners of their eyes and almost pointed their noses at her.

Even a normal person could feel their hostility, let alone Tong Qian.

The class leader revealed a tired expression. It seemed that he did not have a good rest last night and was silent when he heard it.

Tong Qian understood when she saw that.

Looks like this thought process was not done properly.

"Here. " She handed the book over. "Let them take a look. "

Saying empty words was naturally useless. Alright, she had to take a look first.

The class leader received the book. His previously dispirited expression instantly became as excited as if he had been injected with stimulants. He held it before him as if it was a treasure.

When the people beside him saw his reaction, they could not help but cast a glance at him. They looked at him and then leaned over.

"Sigh, sigh. " Someone patted him. "What did you write?"

Most of the people in the troupe were primary school students. Their families were poor and sent food to eat. Without extra money to go to school, most of them were illiterate.

Those who could read went over and surrounded the script tightly.

"Wonderful, truly wonderful!" Someone clapped their hands in wonder.

From time to time, they would exclaim in admiration, causing the rest of the people with photographic memory to be extremely anxious.

"How does the class leader feel about this book compared to yesterday's?"

"Each has their own merits. " The class leader raised his head reluctantly, but the delight on his face didn't diminish. "It's all excellent. "

Their acting class was passed down from generation to generation. The generation couldn't get past those few stories, so there was no new meaning in them. The stories in this book were truly wonderful.

After all, he had been in the drama class for so many years, and he could tell who was better and who was worse with just a glance.

"We'll see about this later. Let's talk about proper business first. " Tong Qian took the book back.

A few pairs of eyes immediately followed.

The class leader seemed to have noticed that he had lost his composure, "Please speak. "

"I have quite a lot of things to say here. Since we're working together, we naturally won't take a single cent. I only have one thing, "Tong Qian said. " We have to act according to my method. "

"What method?" The class leader said.

"Throw away your songs and recite them. Show me the contents of this book. " Tong Qian's expression was indifferent.

The air instantly became silent.

The class leader hesitantly opened his mouth, "This. . . How do we perform this?"

They were the actors and the actors were just singing and beating. Now, they wanted them to throw these away. Not only him, even Jee Xiuping, who had just finished buying the red bean cake, was stunned.

Although he didn't have the chance to listen to the show, he more or less understood that Tong Qian's words were like a heavy stone smashing into the surface of the water.

The ripples were not ripples, but waves.

"I see that you, this yellow-haired girl, actually speak so much nonsense! We have been acting since primary school, but you want to overthrow all of us with just one sentence. What is your intention?" Someone couldn't hold back his anger and shouted. He almost rushed forward.

Jee Xiuping took a step forward to protect Tong Qian behind him, "Everyone, don't be anxious. Let Qian finish speaking first. "

Ever since she woke up, Jee Xiuping felt that something was wrong. She was his wife, so it was only right to protect her.

He had a gentle scholarly aura, and it was very obvious that he was standing in the crowd.

The class leader cupped his fists and bowed. "I'm really sorry. If there's anything rude, I hope you can forgive me. "

"Xiuping, why don't you come and act with me?"

Tong Qian stood up and raised her small face to look at him.

Jee Xiuping looked back at her and said slowly, "Okay. "

Tong Qian smiled and the two of them looked at each other. It was a scene of a talented beauty.
