The corridor is very long, but the corridor from the elevator to Zhou Zhi's office is not long, so Song Mei and Zhang Wenbin did not walk for a long time to reach the place.

Passing by the small office, Song Mei didn't stop, walked directly, and then knocked on the door of Zhou Zhi's office.

Zhang Wenbin looked up at the words 'President's Office' on the silver door number, and suddenly became a little nervous.

"Knock, Mr. Zhou, Uncle Zhang has arrived. Song Mei knocked on the door and spoke.

"Please come in, Uncle Zhang. "I know what to say.

Song Mei pushed the door in, and as soon as the door opened, the office was revealed in front of Zhang Wenbin's eyes.

The office is large, the largest is not the desk, but the bookcase on that side, which is both behind and on the side of the desk, and the bookcase is L-shaped as a whole, and it is full of books.

"It's no wonder that Boss Xiao Zhou was able to open such a big store at a young age, he really reads much better. Zhang Wenbin said secretly in his heart.

And seeing people coming in, Zhou Zhi got up directly and walked over, and said, "Uncle Zhang, you're here, Secretary Song is going to make two cups of tea." ”

Although he couldn't remember who this person was, Zhou Zhi still greeted politely.

"Call Old Man Zhang, Old Zhang Tou is fine, but I don't dare to let Boss Xiao Zhou greet him like this. Zhang Wenbin hurriedly waved his hand.

"Uncle Zhang, don't be so polite. Zhou Zhi stretched out his hand and took Zhang Wenbin's arm to bring the person to the sofa, and then sat down with the person.

Zhou Zhi didn't sit face-to-face this time, because he could see at a glance that Zhang Wenbin was already very nervous, and if he sat down face-to-face again, it was estimated that Uncle Zhang wouldn't be able to speak, which was a bit similar to Zhou Zhi who had just left school.

At first, Uncle Zhang Wenbin was a little cramped when he sat down, but after Zhou Zhi deliberately chatted a few interesting words in the village, Uncle Zhang Wenbin was no longer so nervous.

Soon Song Mei's tea was also brewed and delivered, of course, Zhou Zhi specifically instructed Song Mei to let her soak in a big teacup, and she didn't use Hermes's Oriental Horse series.

The cups of that series were too small and delicate to be suitable for Uncle Zhang.

With Zhou Zhi's greeting, Uncle Zhang Wenbin took a sip of hot tea, finally eased his mood, and took the initiative to speak without waiting for Zhou Zhi to ask.

"Boss Xiao Zhou, I came this time because I have something to ask you to come. Uncle Zhang Wenbin glanced at the wooden box on the ground and spoke with a slight sigh.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Zhi didn't respond recklessly, but asked what was going on.

"I didn't hear that your banquet hall is recruiting people to perform, I came here on my own recommendation. Uncle Zhang said.

"Self-recommendation, what do you want to perform?" Zhou Zhi was a little curious.

"Boss Xiao Zhou is outside all the year round, and I don't know that although my old Zhang Tou has not read for two years and doesn't know a few big characters, my shadow puppet skills are counted in the entire Shou County. Uncle Zhang is still very confident and proud when he talks about his old business.

"Shadow puppetry, uncle, do you know how to play shadow puppetry?" Zhou Zhi said in surprise.

You must know that Zhou Zhi has only seen shadow puppets on TV, and has not seen them in reality, so he is still a little curious.

"That is, I learned art at the age of six, I started performing on my own at the age of eighteen, and I retired at the age of forty, and I haven't lost this craft for so many years. Zhang Wenbin proudly patted the wooden box at his feet.

"Awesome. Zhou Zhi exclaimed.

"So I'm here on my own recommendation, and I don't want Boss Zhou to pay you for work, just let me have a place to perform. Zhang Wenbin said with some embarrassment.

At first, Zhang Wenbin and his wife boasted that they wanted to make money, but it was all a joke, and in the end he just wanted to have a place or stage where he could perform.

Although he is not rich in making money, he is also able to farm enough land for their old couple to eat, so he really doesn't force this, he just can't let go of his craft.

"Uncle Zhang, look at what you said, where is this? Zhou Zhiyan said with a serious and disapproving face.

"This ...... If this doesn't work, forget it, it's embarrassing for you, Boss Xiao Zhou. Zhang Wenbin saw that Zhou Zhi disagreed, and immediately sighed and said a little sadly.

"Uncle Zhang, you misunderstood, what I said no, I don't want money. Zhou Zhi hurriedly explained.

"Huh?" Zhang Wenbin was a little confused.

"I mean, what you said doesn't require money, this shadow puppet was included in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2011, this is a traditional skill left by our ancestors, and it should be worth money. Zhou Zhi said very seriously.

The emphasis in these two sentences makes Zhang Wenbin, an old man over sixty years old, feel like he wants to cry when he is understood, and he feels like he is a bosom friend.

"Boss Xiao Zhou really reads a lot of books and has a lot of knowledge, but this is left by our ancestors. Zhang Wenbin said excitedly.

"It's a pity that we don't have this so popular here, but it's even more popular in Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi, and my master is from Shaanxi. Zhang Wenbin continued.

"The three classic tracks I am good at are The Legend of the White Snake, Picking Up the Jade Bracelet, and The Legend of the West Chamber, and I have brought them all. Zhang Wenbin spoke again and again.

And Zhou Zhi on the side didn't interrupt Zhang Wenbin's words, and waited until he finished speaking before speaking: "This is the prop for your shadow puppetry." ”

"Yes, yes, that's it. Zhang Wenbin nodded.

"Then you should put them all on the table. Zhou Zhi suggested.

"Good. Zhang Wenbin didn't refuse, after all, he loved it, if it weren't for the fact that this was someone else's office, which had always been placed in the best lighting place, it wouldn't have been placed on the ground.

"Then you don't have to try it, you don't have to open it for me to see, I want to wait until the day you perform on stage. Zhou Zhi said with a smile.

"Good. Zhang Wenbin responded with confidence in one bite.

"If you come back to the hotel in three days, I'll set you up with an exclusive stage for you, and you'll see how it goes. Zhou Zhi thought for a moment, and then said.

"That's no problem, it's all up to Boss Xiao Zhou. Zhang Wenbin nodded directly.

"Then when the time comes, I will give you the money according to the number of performances, you must take this money, if you don't take it, it will be disrespectful to the shadow puppet show. Zhou Zhi talked about money, and when he saw that Zhang Wenbin wanted to refuse, he immediately said.

This time, Zhang Wenbin was a little embarrassed, but he figured it out when he remembered what Zhou Zhi said, nodded and said, "Thank you, Boss Xiao Zhou." ”

"You're welcome, but I want to thank you for allowing us to enjoy shadow puppetry. Zhou knows.

"That's also Xiao Zhou, Boss You're atmospheric. Zhang Wenbin praised him very seriously.

Zhou Zhi smiled and didn't speak, and then spoke again: "According to your physical condition, perform three times a week, what do you think?"

"No problem, it's just fine every day. Zhang Wenbin said with confidence.

"No, you need to rest so that every game will work better. Zhou Zhi suggested.

"Boss Xiao Zhou is right. Zhang Wenbin nodded, he knew that it was for his good.

In this way, the two then discussed some details of the performance, and it can be said that the conversation was very pleasant.
