Chapter 3: Leave to fend for yourself

"Little Senior Sister, the matter of the master, I know that you can't get over that hurdle in your heart, but because of this, you don't even sing Peking Opera, how uncomfortable is it for the master to know?"

"Heh, he's uncomfortable?" Fan Yishan sneered, "If he's uncomfortable, he won't stick to that useless drama team and don't raise money for my mother's treatment...... If he really knew that it was uncomfortable, he should have taken on a little responsibility like a man a few years ago, and he wouldn't have made our mother and daughter suffer so much!

Regarding Fan Yishan's questioning, Gu Nanqiao also didn't know how to persuade her.

Senior sister's father is Gu Nanqiao's master, and he is also the person she respects the most, but about the death of the senior sister, after all, it is Fan Yishan's family matter, she is an outsider in the final analysis, and it is inconvenient to say a lot of things.

"Master's business......" Gu Nanqiao couldn't find the wording to explain to the master after a while, so he had to say: "Master has not been in good health for the past two days, you know, he has been lying in bed for several days, the master is gone, and the family has collapsed in half, if you leave at this time, don't you want Master's life?"

"I want his life?" Fan Yishan laughed disdainfully, "His selfishness and paranoia, his mind is full of his artistic pursuits, he took his mother's life, and now that people are completely gone, they are all lying in the morgue, what else does he want me to say?!"

"Master is paranoid, but he is not selfish, he just doesn't want Peking Opera to collapse in his hands. Gu Nanqiao frowned slightly and sighed lightly, "Little Senior Sister, we grew up together, you are Fan Lao's biological daughter, and I am the apprentice brought out by Fan Lao, what kind of person is he, can you still not knowβ€”β€”"

"Heh, Gu Nanqiao, you can't persuade me, and I don't need you to pretend to be a good person for me here. ”

"I'm not here to persuade you, I just want to say justice for Master. I know that in recent years, you have not understood Master, you don't understand that "Spring Garden" has been losing money, what is he still trying to do...... Fan Jiaban is the master's life, and his life's hard work has been spent on it, so the master will not want the master to sell the "Spring Garden" until she dies......"

"Don't mention "Spring Full Garden" to me, Gu Nanqiao, shut up for me!"

Gu Nanqiao was only halfway through his words when he was interrupted by Fan Yishan.

"My dad is a crazy man, he drove my mother to death!" Fan Yishan yelled uncontrollably, "Look at Fan Lingchu, what else does he know in addition to singing and opera all day long...... With him, this family has no way to survive at all, how can it not collapse?!"

Then she paused her tone, suppressed her crying fiercely, and said word by word: "I will never forgive Fan Lingchu, I can't wait to ...... I can't wait for him to finish playing with his Peking Opera team!"

Seeing that Fan Yishan was becoming more and more impatient, Gu Nanqiao was even more anxious, but the little senior sister hated the master to death because of the death of the master, and now whoever spoke for the master would be furious, she thought about it and said in a deep voice: "Then let's not mention the master, just you," Gu Nanqiao looked at Fan Yishan fixedly, and softened his tone, "We have studied drama together since childhood, and we have endured so much hardship to survive until today, because we don't sing these things, are you really willing?"

"Little sister, you are born with good conditions, the ancestor appreciates food, you have a chance to sing a big drama like "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang", if you leave now, you really don't regret it, you ...... Really not a horn?"

This time, Fan Yishan was rarely silent for a few seconds, obviously Gu Nanqiao's words poked her pain.

But the confusion in her eyes lasted only a few seconds, and then it was quickly replaced by ridicule, and her eyes with delicate eyeliner were slender and raised, even when she was annoyed and angry, she was charming and attractive from her bones.

"Gu Nanqiao, are you not good at braining, ah?β€”β€” my dad is an old stubborn, obviously he can't keep up with the times, and he still prefers to treat himself as a garlic, why are you so ridiculous? I really can't understand, you don't plan for yourself, follow that old man to make a fuss together, what kind of Peking Opera reform, do you know daydreaming all day long?"

"Little Senior Sister, what do you mean by that?" Gu Nanqiao raised his eyebrows.

"What do I mean, I'm thinking about growing up together since childhood, and I'll give you a reminder - my dad has just taken care of you for a few years, don't be brainwashed by him, and put your whole life into it. Peking Opera actors are already very limited, and they may not be able to sing if they stay in the theater troupe, not to mention those wild paths and all kinds of bizarre attempts, there is no way to survive at all..... You should be clear about this, do you need me to say more?"

Gu Nanqiao looked at Fan Yishan fixedly, as if he wanted to distinguish something from her trivial expression.

"You asked me if I wanted to become a corner, then I wanted to turn around and ask you, Gu Nanqiao, do you want to become a corner?"

Fan Yishan sneered and continued.

"If you really want to continue singing, you have to find a way to come out on your own, and stop getting involved with Fan Lingchu - do you think the troupe leader doesn't know about what you secretly sang in the "Spring Garden"? You're too stupid...... No theater troupe can accept its own actors taking private work outside, and also run a private theater troupe, if you continue to be chained to the grass stage team in the "Spring Garden", I think the Fan family class can't get out, and you will have to be dragged to death sooner or later. ”

Fan Yishan's words are reasonable, and her concern for Gu Nanqiao is also real, as if all this has a turning point, Gu Nanqiao quickly grasped the point.

"Little Senior Sister, you are still concerned about the Fan family class, so, are you worried about the way out?"

Fan Yishan quickly sorted out her emotions, she lowered her eyes carelessly, and there was no warmth in her eyes.

β€œ..... I'm just looking at the old days, and I'm just mentioning you, that's it. ”

"If you plan to go because Peking Opera has no future, then what if I tell you that there is a way to live?"

"You didn't wake up from your dream?" Fan Yishan sneered mercilessly.

Gu Nanqiao didn't care about that, she looked up at Fan Yishan, and her tone was determined.

"You usually don't want to care about the "Spring Garden", you think that this sub-place is small, and the audience attendance rate is not much, but in fact, the overall operation of "Spring Garden" has been developing in a good direction in recent years - although it has not been completely profitable in the short term, but at least it shows that our new trial route is right. ”

"Part of the publicity and marketing of our troupe is that I am helping to do it, and I have learned a lot about the business model, as long as I stick to it, "Spring Garden" will get better and better, isn't it......?

"Jojo, I really don't know if I'm too naΓ―ve or stupid. Fan Yishan was silent for a moment before chuckling, "You think this is a playhouse, can you make a troupe work if you know how to publicize and marketing, to put it mildly, what do you use to market, what do you rely on to promote?"

While speaking, Fan Yishan made a twisting motion with her fingers together, "Nothing, empty gloves white wolf?"

"No, little sister, you listen to me. Gu Nanqiao said hurriedly, "I received a call a few days ago that an investor is interested in our troupe, if you want, we can talk together." ”

"This is a good way to make money, don't tie me up, then I wish you a great career in the future?"

Fan Yishan obviously didn't take these words seriously, she raised her hand and straightened the tassel on Gu Nanqiao's head, and said lightly.

"It's pointless for you to dig into why I'm leaving now - in short, I won't sing anymore, I won't be a fan family member in the future, and Fan Lingchu's father-daughter fate is exhausted, what Fan Lingchu owes his mother, I will find my own way to get it back one by one, as for you, ......."

Facing Gu Nanqiao's expectant gaze, Fan Yishan hooked the corners of her lips and ruthlessly broke her last illusion.

"You are left to fend for yourselves, so do it yourself. ”

Looking at Fan Yishan's figure getting farther and farther away, Gu Nanqiao's temples tingled.

All this happened too suddenly, without giving Gu Nanqiao any time to respond, as if a pair of invisible hands had cruelly torn apart all peace, it laughed at Gu Nanqiao's powerlessness in the clouds, and mercilessly forced this once warm home to pieces.

Gu Nanqiao was stunned for a long time before finally taking out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Because she was too hard, her fingertips were slightly white, and after unlocking the phone, she didn't look for the address book, she directly dialed the familiar phone number, and the electronic tone that no one answered came coldly, Gu Nanqiao called again, but no one answered.

This time, Gu Nanqiao didn't continue to call the phone, but hugged his elbow and squatted down on the spot.

People came and went on the road, Gu Nanqiao was wearing a costume, which seemed incompatible with the surrounding environment, Hua Dan's heavy outfit had not been removed, and Gu Nanqiao's already slightly petite figure was set off very thin, revealing a bit of pity that he couldn't see on weekdays.

After about ten minutes, the phone rang.

It was Shen You who called.

"What's the matter, Nan Qiao," Shen You's voice was very low, and there was a faint smile mixed in his tone, "Didn't you rehearse today, it's really rare to call me during working hours." ”

Gu Nanqiao got straight to the point: "Shen You, can you come to me for a lunch break?"

Shen You's tone was slightly hesitant: "Your troupe is a little far away from my company, your lunch break is too short, will you be in a hurry?"

Gu Nanqiao paused and said, "Then I'll go to you, you don't have to toss." ”

On the other end of the phone, Shen You was silent for a while, he felt that Gu Nanqiao was a little abnormal today - he had been dating Gu Nanqiao for almost a year, and he couldn't know more about his girlfriend's personality. Gu Nanqiao looked eccentric, and he could get along quickly with anyone, but in fact, he was very arrogant in his bones, and there was a limit to being sticky, and it was quite rare to be so abrasive like today.

"What's wrong with you?" Thinking of this, Shen You asked, "Did the leader talk to you, or did the rehearsal for the performance not go well?"

Gu Nanqiao didn't explain much, just half-jokingly said: "I miss you, so I asked you if you came?"

Hearing this, Shen You smiled directly, obviously Gu Nanqiao's rare coquettishness was very useful to him.

"My wife has spoken, can I not go, you wait for me for half an hour, I promise to appear at the door of your Peking Opera Troupe every second, and you can complain to me directly one second later." ”

"Where can I complain?" Gu Nanqiao's mood finally improved a little.

"Gu Nanqiao's boyfriend management association," Shen You said seriously, "If you complain, the association can provide permanent supervision and management services, as well as online guidance and improvement tutorials, but the return and exchange service is free to talk about, this is permanently free to talk." ”

"You're so poor," if it was in the past, Gu Nanqiao would have been amused, but she really couldn't laugh at it, so she just said: "Then I'll wait for you to come over, it just so happens that I have something to ask you." ”

"What's the matter?" Shen You was a little curious.

"Let's talk about it when we meet, aren't you busy over there?"

"Qiaoqiao, you are wrong about this," on the other end of the phone, Shen You's deep and beautiful voice came, "No matter how busy you are, as long as you say that you miss me, I will come over immediately." ”

Gu Nanqiao's heart warmed, and he didn't say anything, but his tone was softer: "Okay, I'll wait for you to come over." ”

"Good. ”
