At this time, inside the office of Liyuan Hall.

This room is decorated in a typical Chinese style, and the office is classical and atmospheric, with a bit of sophistication everywhere. The various furnishings in this room, whether it is a celadon vase at the corner of the table or a landscape painting on the wall, are all valuable collections, and those who do not know how to do it may not be able to see the doorway, but if a connoisseur comes, you can see at a glance how rare these things are.

It seems to be low-key, but it is actually showing off.

At a glance, you can see that this is from Ji Dashao's handwriting - it is clearly a praise for others, and it is deliberately arranged quite pompously, but it is pretend to be a little high-minded, which is nondescript.

Sandalwood burns indoors, and the ethereal smell of incense makes people feel calm.

But it's clear that this kind of vocabulary is very different from the tense atmosphere in the office at the moment.

Ji Munan clenched a stack of project reports with both hands, and his narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking about something, and then he slammed the project book on the table, crooked the corners of his lips and sneered.

"When I talked to the young master of the Zhong family, his intention to cooperate was quite clear, but it was just to let people follow up on the contract, and actually boiled the duck in his hand for me, Xiao Guo, how did you dock, huh?"

Looking at Ji Munan's uncertain face, Guo Weikang, the executive director opposite, trembled with his fingers, obviously a little scared.

He has worked in Liyuan Hall for four or five years, and has been working under Ji Munan's hands, and he is considered the old man of this private performance group, but Rao is like this, he still hasn't completely figured out Ji Munan's character.

This young son of a Peking Opera family is respectfully called Boss Ji wherever he goes, he has the good platform of the Ji family as support, and there are strong backers such as Jingyao Grand Theater and Peking Opera Association behind him, and he has gone smoothly all the way, and almost no one in the circle dares to offend him. In addition, Ji Munan has a ruthless personality, is scheming, and never talks about the so-called moral principles, whether it is for business partners or for his employees, he is a very difficult person to get along with.

Don't look at him playing with antique walnuts on weekdays, burning incense and worshiping Buddha, and he looks like he is smiling at everyone, but in fact, this is simply a short hibernation of the smiling tiger, once his interests are touched, it is a matter of minutes.

So Guo Weikang has always been a little apprehensive about dealing with his boss.

"Boss Ji, it's my disadvantage this time, but, this matter... It'......"

Looking at Guo Weikang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping, Ji Munan was angry: "If you have something to say, just say it, if you stutter, hurry up to treat Lao Tzu, what's the matter, look at what you mean, are you still waiting for me to beg you to speak?"

"Boss Ji, in fact, this is the case. Guo Weikang clenched his back molars and opened his mouth as if he was determined, "I was also well connected with the geometry side, and Zhong Shao was very cooperative at the beginning, whether it was going through the process or submitting materials, it was quite pleasant, and we didn't care much." ”

"Until half a month ago, I didn't know what happened in the process, Zhong Shao's secretary began to delay and stop moving forward on the grounds that the company's approval process was troublesome...... You also know that Zhong Shaoke is the son of Director Zhong, how dare we offend, so we can only wait for the news, and it is not good to urge him again and again, this delay is more than half a month - seeing that the Peking Opera performance is about to determine the final list, Zhong Shao's side still does not give the letter, so I hurried over to report to you. ”

After listening to Guo Weikang's words, Ji Munan's uncertain expression completely removed the sunny side, and his face was quite completely dark.

The performance project of Liyuantang and Geometry Propaganda is called "Dream", which is a medium-budget production of Peking Opera performance, adapted from the classic excerpt "Peony Pavilion", the performance incorporates classical dance and folk music ensembles, and the male and female protagonists are all popular and famous actors in Liyuantang.

The ostensible head of Liyuan Hall is Ji Munan, but in fact, the person at the helm behind it is Ji Guangfan, the old man of the Ji family. Or to put it more intuitively, the establishment of Liyuantang is not accidental, but the product of the Ji family taking advantage of their reputation and position to further monopolize the Peking Opera market and make a fortune by relying on Peking Opera performances.

It's just that Ji Guangfan is the leader of the National Peking Opera Association after all, and his words and deeds represent authority. What's more, Ji Jiashu is a big move, and he swaggers through the market under the name of Jingyao Grand Theater or Ji Guangfan, whether it is successful or not, it is not a good thing for the Ji family.

And these things, crowned as the whims of the children in the family, have nothing to do with the Ji family, so they are obviously too reasonable.

These things are open secrets within the Ji family, and people in the Peking Opera industry are also aware of them. It's just that no one will break these things, not only will they not touch Ji Guangfan's mold, but they will also intentionally sell a few thin noodles to Ji Munan because of the Ji family, and take care of Liyuantang's business and projects.

For these exchange of interests on the table, Zhong Ziyi certainly knows.

It's just that he is not a person in the Peking Opera circle, and he doesn't want to exchange interests with Ji Munan, so he doesn't care about deliberately wooing him. In other words, Zhong Shao has now passed the initial difficulties, and now he can earn money standing up, so why take those unnecessary risks in order to increase a dispensable connection?

The resources of Liyuan Hall are not in Zhong Ziyi's eyes, but Ji Munan covets the relationship between the Zhong family very much.

For businessmen, what could be more solid than being associated with an official project?

Especially Ji Munan once touched a nail in Su Yiyang's place, after knowing that Zhong Ziyi and Su Yiyang had a deep friendship and almost all the projects were mixed together, he quickly moved other thoughts - if he could pull Su Yiyang's easily invited Buddha into the project while winning over Zhong Ziyi, it would be beneficial and harmless for the future development of Liyuan Hall.

So for Zhong Ziyi, Ji Munan's purpose is quite clear.

Ji Munan, or the entire Ji family, took out a lot of sincerity to win him over, the project of "Dream" was developed according to the preferences of Zhong Ziyi and Su Yiyang, whether it is the letter of intent for the performance season of Jingyao Grand Theater, or the absolutely excellent production team and cast, it is all to attract these two prospective partners with high vision. Then Ji Munan took the matter of overseas tours to cover up people's eyes, if Zhong Ziyi was willing to participate, he would also give him a considerable part of the dividends, which made people believe that this was a good deal that would make sure that he would not lose money.

In order to ensure that Zhong Shao joins in, nothing goes wrong.

And when Zhong Ziyi agreed to participate in the investment and was completely involved in this project, Ji Munan's opportunity came. The little son of the Ji family is the best at using all kinds of tricks in business, and he will do everything to achieve his goals, Zhong Ziyi, a simple-minded person who disdains to play tricks, is not of the same order of magnitude as him at all.

And the entanglement of interests is the most unclear thing, under the exchange of favors and money, it is impossible to say who is innocent. When Zhong Dashao realized that something was wrong and wanted to turn back, he would find that they were all grasshoppers tied to the same thief ship, and it didn't matter who disliked whom, he could only be forced to accept the alliance.

It's just that why did Zhong Ziyi defect?

Guo Weikang, who was standing on the side, continued to speak.

"Geometry is so contrary to its word, obviously there is a reason for it, so I thought of investigating it for you in private. ”

Speaking of this, he paused intentionally, and then continued, "Boss Ji, guess what-Zhong Shao's sudden change of attitude started around the end of last month, and during that time, Su Dashao of the Su Group had been to Z City once, and they had met in the revolving restaurant...... I suspect that Bao Buqi is what Su Dashao told him......"

"Su Group, Su Yiyang, heh......"

Ji Munan repeated in a low voice, his eyes sank completely, and then he hooked the corners of his lips and sneered: "Bad people and good things, ruin people's future, Su Dashao, you are really ruthless, you are so desperate to do things, I am really afraid of you?"

At this moment, a sudden ringing of the phone interrupted the tension at the moment.

"Hey, Ji Munan?"

Ji Munan pressed the call button a little impatiently, but when he heard the cold and beautiful voice on the other side, his face changed instantly.

It's just an ordinary greeting, but Ji Munan quickly realized who was on the other side.

Almost at that moment, his expression changed rapidly, the slightly raised phoenix eyes were bent, the pale thin lips were lightly pursed, and what appeared in his eyes was the unique smile of a scheming hunter when he successfully waited for the prey to take the bait.

"I'm Fan Yishan...... I hope that the call at this time did not disturb you, I have thought about the things you said before, and if Liyuan Hall is still short of manpower, I can join the company at any time...... But I don't plan to go on stage, I just want to do Peking Opera development, or be in charge of actor rehearsals and other things. ”

Ji Munan didn't care about what kind of work Fan Yishan did.

All he cares about is the compromise of this iceberg beauty.

"Yes, I said, as long as you want, the door of Liyuan Hall will always be open for you. Ji Munan chuckled, said the coaxing soft words ambiguously, and responded very generously, "You can come over tomorrow, Shanshan." ”

"Okay......" On the other side of the phone, Fan Yishan's tone paused slightly, "However, I have one condition." ”

In this regard, Ji Munan was not surprised, if Fan Yishan compromised with him without any conditions, it would be too abnormal.

"What conditions?" asked Ji Munan.

"Spring Garden, it's the small theater troupe that my father ran before, called Spring Garden......"

Fan Yishan's voice was mixed with a faint cry, as if with heart-rending pain.

But this emotion flashed away, and soon turned into an overflowing hatred, "I want you to destroy that troupe for me, no matter what method you use - Ji Munan, as long as you can do this for me, I can promise you anything." ”

"You can promise me anything...... Ji Munan showed great patience and asked with interest, "Including being with me, or more things?"

There was only a few seconds of silence, and then, Fan Yishan responded.

"Yes, anything. ”

......

After hanging up the phone, Ji Munan's mood was obviously much better, and he even smiled when he opened his mouth to ask.

"Xiao Guo, the garden is full of spring, have you heard of it?"

While feeling that his boss was really turning his face like turning a book, too capricious, Guo Weikang hurriedly responded: "Boss Ji, I was just about to tell you - after Zhong Shao withdrew from our project, he turned his head and invested in another private troupe, it is said that Su Dashao also became a shareholder, and that troupe is full of spring." ”

Hearing this, Ji Munan was stunned for a moment, and soon laughed out loud meaninglessly.

"Heh, it's Su Yiyang again...... I have to bow my head and let you score three points if you do anything else, but since you are involved in Peking Opera, you can't help it?"

Then he put the "Nightmare" project introduction book on the table into the shredder, and those things that took some effort to make quickly became a pile of useless scraps of paper.

"Since it's a different path, it's a sworn enemy, Su Dashao. ”

I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Xu You Spring Garden", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
