Chapter 14: What He Wants
The atmosphere was suddenly completely different from before, Li Hetian and Duan Mingshan looked at each other, not quite understanding what was happening in the process, and why Gu Nanqiao had a 180-degree change in attitude towards Su Yiyang.
And none of this has anything to do with Su Yiyang.
After getting Gu Nanqiao's reply, Su Yiyang's purpose of this trip had been completely achieved, and he didn't delay any longer, he lit the cigarette that he had been playing with for a long time in his hand, and then bit his lip and spit out a smoke ring, then stood up slowly and walked towards the gate.
Gu Nanqiao subconsciously stood up and wanted to send him off, but Su Yiyang seemed to have guessed what she meant, and waved her hand back without looking back, stopping Gu Nanqiao's politeness, and walked in a dashing manner.
"Qiao girl, who is this person?" It wasn't until Su Yiyang's figure completely disappeared into the small courtyard full of spring that Li Hetian couldn't help but ask, "I look at the posture, you knew him before?"
Regarding the matter of investment, Gu Nanqiao adhered to the principle of not disturbing the morale of the army too much before finding out whether this matter was completely reliable, but he simply mentioned it to Fan Lingchu, and did not inform the big guys of the troupe. Now, taking advantage of this reason, she hurriedly told her about the phone call she received a few days ago and Su Yiyang's investment intentions.
Before Gu Nanqiao's words were finished, Chu Youyou was the first to lose his breath and was completely excited.
"I'll go, and such a pie-in-the-sky good thing. ”
Her big round eyes turned around, and she couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that the fragrance of wine is not afraid of the deep alleys, and it really makes sense, and the ancients did not deceive me." To be reasonable, when I saw Brother Su today, I felt that he was a talent, tsk...... That vision is not an ordinary person, this is young and talented. ”
Gu Nanqiao was amused by Chu Youyou's exaggerated rhetoric that changed her words in an instant, and she said in her heart that there is really money that can make ghosts grind, and this is not the time for you to be kicked off the stage by others halfway through singing, and hide at the gate with righteous indignation to call for rescuers.
Before she could say anything, Chu Youyou held her cheeks with one hand and asked expectantly: "By the way, Sister Nanqiao, what company is he, how much money did he say, and what kind of investment method?"
Gu Nanqiao shook his head and said: "I just had a brief exchange on the phone, and these specific details haven't been discussed yet, in fact, I originally planned to make good preparations for our spring garden here, and finalize the time with him to talk in detail, who knew that he came so suddenly, and I didn't have time to prepare for many things......."
Gu Nanqiao didn't say the latter words, but Duan Mingshan heard the self-blame and sorrow between her words.
It is true that Fan Lingchu of this troupe is the head of the class, but when he is always alone and lacks skills, Fan Yishan, as Fan Lingchu's biological daughter, never refuses to help a little. On weekdays, it has always been Gu Nanqiao who is busy with the drama team, and it is her apprentice with a foreign surname who finds a way to solve big and small problems.
Duan Mingshan and Li Hetian had some relationship with Gu Nanqiao's mother back then, and they watched this girl grow up, so they really felt sorry for Gu Nanqiao running back and forth between the Peking Opera Troupe in Province B and the Spring Garden, and she had to worry about everything. Especially now that Fan Lingchu is ill, the temporary members of the troupe may not know the inside story, but Duan Mingshan knows how tricky the predicament of the spring garden is.
Of course, he and Li Hetian hope that the business of the spring garden will be prosperous, and they don't worry about this troupe on weekdays. But to put it mildly, it is naturally good that this troupe can do it, and with Fan Lingchu's relationship, the two brothers who can help will also help as much as possible, but more, they can't help.
After all, they are all this age, no matter how much they burn light and heat, they have to consider the old and young of the family, in the face of realistic factors, even heroes may not bend their waists, not to mention that they are just two ordinary old people.
Therefore, the only one who is likely to take over Fan Lingchu's team and support the overall situation of the spring garden is Gu Nanqiao alone. According to her character, she will definitely not see the spring garden collapse, and presumably the huge burden of the entire troupe will be on this young girl.
"Qiao girl, if you want me to say, you don't care about this. Duan Mingshan hesitated for a while before he opened his mouth lightly, "Not to mention that this investor doesn't look down on our small gate and small temple full of spring, but he really likes us, what should I do next?" The things he said just now, you and Uncle Li are both blind to each other, and no one can understand it, and it is also a virtue to ask your master and us to touch it....... If you really talk about the money, who will follow up on the matter?"
Gu Nanqiao thought about it and said, "Uncle Duan, you don't have to worry about these things, I'll just dock with him." ”
Duan Mingshan shook his head with a low chuckle, feeling that Gu Nanqiao was too strong, and he wanted to stand up for everything, but he didn't think about whether he could afford this, and in the end he just suffered himself.
"It's okay if you're free, you can take over the spring garden, but you still have the work of the Peking Opera Troupe in Province B to do, and the rehearsals here will already delay your efforts, if you do anything else, you'll be out of luck, Qiao girl." ”
Gu Nanqiao knew that Duan Mingshan was telling the truth, and Shen You had said the same thing not long ago, which made her angry. She didn't have anything to do about it, she could only sigh and say lightly: "I will find a way to coordinate these things, it's a big deal that I will ask Shen You to help, anyway, I can hold on until the master is completely well.......
Duan Mingshan knew Gu Nanqiao's character, this girl seemed to be easy-going, but in fact, she was so desperate that she couldn't persuade her at all, so she simply didn't say anything more. Li Hetian, who had never spoken, thought carefully about what had just happened, and finally felt a little bit at this time.
He slapped his thigh and said in hindsight: "Old Duan, why do I think that what Qiao Yatou said is not a bad thing for the spring garden?"
Duan Mingshan turned his head sideways, and heard Li Hetian say again, "Hasn't Lao Fan been worrying about money, the spring garden has not grown big in recent years, and his hands are also tight." I thought, what the kid said just now makes a bit of sense, and he has some business acumen, if he can join, will it be beneficial to our development? Take 10,000 steps back, Lao Fan is not easy, and he doesn't have to pay for it himself when he encounters poor management, right?"
Hearing this, Duan Mingshan sighed, obviously thinking more deeply than Li Hetian.
"Lao Li, you think simply, you don't want to think that Brother Gongzi is an expert at first glance, people haven't understood the situation of our troupe, and they can say that the head is the Tao, so what does it mean?—— it means that he knows the doorway here clearly, and he has seen any scene. ”
Li Hetian nodded approvingly, and said, "Old Duan, why are you worrying about this? Didn't Qiao Yatou say that it was the boy who took the initiative to contact her, then she must have been contacted with an intention." Besides, we have our old brother in charge of the spring garden, and there are young forces like Qiao Yatou and Xiao Chu, where are we missing, and I'm afraid that he won't look down on us?"
Duan Mingshan was far less optimistic than Li Hetian, and said mercilessly: "Lao Fan can't come recently, and we can't sing the previous plays, and the "Legend of the West Chamber" can't be said to be very good, and it is also a normal level at the moment, but if you look at what the investors say, no one will let us finish singing." ”
Li Hetian thought about it, it was indeed the truth, but after all, he was a little unwilling.
He touched his lips up and down, thought about it and said, "It's not like there is no time to run in this scene today, he gave us a month, we can't waste it." Lao Duan, let's worry more about it during this time, let Qiao Yatou help think of ideas, and then take Xiao Chu to rehearse well, and directly give this investment to Lao Fan to earn. ”
"Tsk, Lao Li, when will you be able to change the problem that came from your brain, what is enough for a month?"
Duan Mingshan sneered lowly, his fingers curled slightly, and knocked on the solid wood tabletop, "Not to mention that people come to inspect the spring garden, from the decoration to the performance team, we have almost nothing satisfactory here, these roots are not things that can be changed in a short period of time....... Qiao Yatou is about to sing "Picking Up the Jade Bracelet", and that is the first time she has sung the leading role. ”
Duan Mingshan didn't directly point through these words, but Li Hetian immediately understood what the old buddy meant.
Gu Nanqiao stayed up in the Peking Opera Troupe of Province B for a year before she got this opportunity, a few days ago, because of the Fan family's affairs, she had taken leave one after another to delay the normal rehearsals, and then for the sake of investment, it would inevitably delay her time.
If this matter is nine out of ten, it's okay, and it's not a toss in vain. However, Su Yiyang's attitude was ambiguous, and he raised so many dissatisfaction when he met for the first time today, which also made the investment matter not accurate at all, and he was completely uncertain. Under such circumstances, if it affects Gu Nanqiao's performance and delays her future, it will be too much to gain and lose.
Thinking of this, Li Hetian sighed low and didn't argue about anything.
Of course, Gu Nanqiao could hear that Duan Mingshan's attitude at the moment was all for her sake, to put it bluntly, Duan Mingshan would be the villain, and for Gu Nanqiao's refusal to invest, she would not be burdened too much in her heart, so that she could settle down and prepare for the performance of the Peking Opera Troupe in a down-to-earth manner.
Of course, this starting point is good, Gu Nanqiao also knows that Duan Mingshan really feels sorry for himself.
But she frowned slightly, a hesitant look appeared on her delicate face, and she subconsciously murmured: "But it's too rare to have an investment opportunity in the spring garden, this is an opportunity......"
At the same time, Gu Nanqiao tried to calm herself down, her slender fingers clasped the celadon teacup, and went through all the words that Su Yiyang had just said in her mind, trying to come up with a solution as quickly as possible.
But as long as a businessman has no possibility of losing money, since Su Yiyang is willing to come to the Spring Garden for a field trip, it shows that this troupe has something to attract him. Previously, he had studied the information of the Spring Garden quite thoroughly, the geographical location, the main creative team, the performance style, etc., all of which were put on the bright side, in addition to these established factors, what attracted Su Yiyang and made him look at the Spring Garden differently.
In other words, Su Yiyang deliberately gave a month to prepare, what did he want to see?
