Chapter 45 The big catfish in the loach box

"Whether she goes on stage or not is up to me as the master. I will ensure that it will not affect our Xi Lian Club. What we are going to discuss now is whether Xi Yatou can join the class to learn opera. Don't always

Useless bullshit!"

Song Youzhen pulled her hand on her chest, already impatient.

Xibao couldn't persuade him, so he had no choice but to sigh. No wonder Tang Congshan said that his master was a thorn. This was accidentally done, and he would be blamed again.

Sure enough, Song Qiwen immediately became happy, turned to look at Ye Rongzhen and asked: "President, did I hear you right? Song Youzhen means to find another troupe for this girl to sing in? Do we have rules in our troupe?

The class thinks of the class and never uses it. As the leader of the class, Song Youzhen wants to take the lead in making mistakes."

"this--!"

Song Youzhen didn't expect that her angry words would be understood in this way, and she was speechless.

"Not going on stage."

Xibao's clear voice immediately attracted everyone's attention.

She raised her head, glanced around the crowd, and said calmly: "If I wanted to go on stage, I wouldn't have ignored Harbin's great conditions and returned to the capital to join the theater troupe for training. Don't you know?

, now in the capital, it must be a long time since no one is willing to hire an opera troupe to sing?"

Upon hearing this, the originally high emotions in the room suddenly fell silent.

Isn’t this the case?

Nowadays no opera troupe can sing.

And it won't be for a long time.

Think about it, if someone dies in the family, the direct relatives must observe mourning for three years and entertainment is prohibited.

Nowadays, the imperial court is asking foreigners to invade grandma's house. If anyone dares to set up a stage to sing an opera and put up lanterns and colorful decorations, the imperial court will have to raid his home and skin him.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xibao continued: "President Ye's letter to Mr. Niu said that we should take advantage of this opportunity to hide our capabilities and bide our time. I agree very much, so I urged my master to come back. Many of my colleagues and I

Discuss.

I have no chance to go on stage, so why not join a theater troupe and learn how to act?"

Ye Rongzhen couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard Xibao mention the four words "hide your strength and bide your time". That's not what he wrote in his letter. In order to express this meaning, he used a lot of pen and ink, but Xibao summed it up in just four words.

, it can be seen that Song Youzhen's statement that she was knowledgeable was not an empty statement.

As for his attitude toward women learning opera, he doesn't have any particular focus.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that our ancestors love opera very much. If the current national conditions do not allow it and it continues to develop, no one can say whether women will be able to sing on stage.

But he does like disciples who have high understanding and are willing to learn, so at this moment, the balance in his heart has begun to tilt towards Xibao.

Well, if Xibao hadn't said the next sentence...

"Or are you leaders not afraid of the imperial court's decree at all, but are you afraid that your apprentices will be less talented and less knowledgeable, and will be compared with a little girl like me and slap you in the face?"

"Extremely arrogant!"

Su Yunqing, who hadn't spoken for a long time, stood up immediately.

At this moment, he finally understood why Song Youzhen, who had always been picky, chose a female doll from Xibao as his apprentice. This person's arrogance really rivaled that of her master!

"Oh!"

Song Qiwen was also angry. On the surface, Xibao said that he was better than their apprentices, but in fact, it said it was a competition between the apprentices. It was clearly an insinuation that they were not as powerful as Song Youzhen and could not teach anyone better.

Disciple.

"President, this girl is so rebellious and disobedient to discipline, she cannot be kept, she cannot be kept!"

"Hahaha!"

While everyone was fighting endlessly, Xiao Yonghua, who had been sitting on the left side of Ye Rongzhen, suddenly laughed while stroking his goatee. He looked at Ye Rongzhen and said, "This kid is really interesting, like a big catfish falling into a loach basket!"

It can be seen from Xiao Yonghua's seat that he is equivalent to the second-in-command of Xilian Society and has a very high status.

And in terms of reputation, he is also the most famous actor in the entire troupe. In the future, when the external environment improves, the troupe will probably have to rely on his connections if they want to go out to sing operas.

So his words carry a lot of weight in the troupe, probably even more than Tang Congshan.

Especially what he said just now suddenly woke up Ye Rongzhen.

Yes, if this girl can join the theater troupe, the advantages will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.

If they were still troubled by the young, naughty and disobedient disciple before, now they have Xibao, a female disciple who speaks arrogantly, as a comparison.

In order not to be compared, those skinny boys naturally have to be more restrained and studious.

In order not to be ridiculed by others for not being as good as Song Youzhen, the masters of these skinny boys would naturally work harder and not dare to slack off.

In such an environment, students' progress is guaranteed.

Besides, no one can go on stage at this moment, so naturally no one from the government will come to cause trouble.

What's the harm in accepting Xibao into the theater troupe?

Seemingly seeing that Ye Rongzhen's expression was relaxed, Tang Congshan hurriedly tried to mediate and said: "In my opinion, everyone is worrying too much. But don't forget that our troupe has an assessment for recruiting apprentices. If she is not an opera singer,

The material is still not coming in.

It doesn't make much sense for everyone to continue arguing like this. As the foreman of the initial assessment, I will make the decision for the president.

Since we can all keep Zilan, who was born in Xianggu Alley, to be fair, Xibao will also accept it first. We will see the truth during the first assessment. If she can't hold on by then, we don't need to attack her, she will leave on her own.

."

The initial assessment for students to enter the theater troupe is done by the drummer and the piano player. Tang Congshan has the right to make the decision, and no one can say anything.

If they insist on talking, Song Youzhen will reply: "What's the matter? Are you afraid before the test? Do you not trust your apprentice, or do you not trust yourself?"

It's shameless when you can predict it, so why ask for trouble?

Ye Rongzhen took it as a real betrayal of Tang Congshan and said with a smile: "In that case, let's accept both of them. Let me, Yonghua and Congshan observe them for a while first."

Before Song Qiwen and Su Yunqing could say anything else, Ye Rongzhen changed the subject and said, "Yue Xian, lead them and the few outside to recognize the rules first."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and left the table with his hands behind his back. Xiao Yonghua followed closely behind him. When he passed by Xibao, he narrowed his eyes and smiled and said: "Baby, you earned your face by yourself. You have to live up to your expectations and don't call anyone else."

I’m so embarrassed.”

Xibao smiled and said: "Don't worry, Captain Xiao, my bones are very hard. You won't be able to see them flat."

Xiao Yonghua raised his eyebrows, laughed and left.

Xibao is very good at reading people's glances. After negotiating with several heads of Xilian Society, she had a general understanding of the seven people's senses towards her.

Needless to say, her master Song Youzhen was the closest to her.

Needless to say, Tang Congshan said that although he disapproved of her actions, he still favored her mentally after spending more than two months with her, otherwise he wouldn't have spoken up for her just now.

Song Qiwen and Su Yunqing thought that the estrangement between them and Song Youzhen was too deep, and they would not treat her favorably for a while. There was no need for her to fawn over her. If they had that time, they might as well study drama hard to make themselves stronger.

Xiao Yonghua must be optimistic about her, otherwise a smart person like him would not go out of his way to give her face and speak for her.

As for the president, Ye Rongzhen, she hasn't figured it out yet. What she can confirm is that he is very fair and listens to others' opinions.

This is an advantage, but it can also become a disadvantage.

He is like the judge in the court. He will listen to whoever says what is reasonable and well-founded. If you want to win his favor, you must not make the slightest mistake, otherwise you will not get a vote of approval from him.

As for Wu Yuexian, the last class leader, Xibao turned to look at this person. From the beginning, he had been silent and seemed to have disappeared...

Please collect, vote and comment, I am lacking everything now, the more the merrier, woohoo~
