Chapter Eighty-Four: Tension
Guo Xiaodong's Weibo, Gu Nanqiao also saw it.
-- "What is the significance of the so-called reform? There are many ugly people who make trouble, but the ancients did not deceive me." β
This is Guo Xiaodong reposted the Weibo of Ji Mu Nanji, the boss of Liyuan Hall, and added a paragraph of his own discussion, which made no secret of sarcasm and criticism between his words, which can be described as extremely gunpowder.
The discerning people in the troupe can see that Guo Xiaodong is deliberately embarrassing her because of his previous personal grudge with Gu Nanqiao. However, the people who eat melons do not know so much about the inside story of the industry, and they also know very little about the Peking Opera industry, so it is inevitable that they will feel that the official theater troupe is more authoritative than the performances of various small theaters.
Especially after being commented on by "professionals" like Ji Munan and Guo Xiaodong, I can't help but feel that this novel performance form of spring is a bit nondescript.
It can be said that the garden of spring took advantage of the ingenious weekend to make a surprise, and just accumulated some audience reputation, it was stirred up by this sudden negative evaluation, and once returned to the pre-liberation period. Not to mention that Lin Lulu felt aggrieved, Chu Youyou, Gu Nanqiao's loyal defender, didn't react much stronger, so he went out in person to tear up Boss Ji and Guo Xiaodong in the comment area.
"Forget it, hasn't Guo Xiaodong always been like that, it's too cheap to deal with her. β
"Then Qiaoqiao, those sent by Guo Xiaodong won't affect your small theater, right?" Lin Lulu was still a little uneasy, and asked with concern again, "And why is Liyuan Hall tearing you apart, have you offended them before?"
"I don't know, I haven't dealt with Liyuantang. Gu Nanqiao replied casually, "As for the impact...... Just a few rumors can't affect me - wait for the New Year's performance season to watch it, I still say the same thing, everyone has a few pounds and taels, you have to see the real chapter on the stage, as long as you have excellent skills, no crooked ways can affect the spring garden. β
Lin Lulu still had a lot to ask, but after all, it was not the lunch break, and her band colleagues quickly called Lin Lulu to rehearse.
"Hey, Xiaolin, it's your turn....... The big guy is waiting. β
"Alright, Lulu, let's go to rehearsal. Seeing Lin Lulu forcibly retract the chatterbox, with a reluctant expression, Gu Nanqiao patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Call me if you have something, you can call if you have nothing to do, I will definitely come to support your New Year's performance season, I will keep the performance tickets for you in the spring garden, remember to come to me to get it when the time comes." β
"Is it commercial?" Lin Lulu muttered quietly.
"Not only is there a commercial cheer, but there can also be another wave of business blowing each other, how about it?" Gu Nanqiao chuckled, the corners of his lips rose slightly, "That...... Work hard, I'll go first?"
After leaving the rehearsal hall, Gu Nanqiao didn't stay long, and she didn't bring any personal belongings in the office.
In this way, there are no regrets.
After leaving the gate, Gu Nanqiao wanted to stop a taxi and go home directly, but he didn't want to suddenly hear a smile with obvious mockery.
"Yo, it turned out to be Gu Huadan, should I be wrong?"
Gu Nanqiao frowned slightly when he heard this, and when he turned around, he saw a beautiful woman wearing a red woolen coat walking over from far and near. Her coat was slightly open, and the black turtleneck inside was hung with a sparkling diamond sweater chain, just like Lin Lulu said, like a swaggering peacock.
The person who came was Guo Xiaodong.
Guo Xiaodong's voice was delicate, revealing indescribable charming: "Xiao Gu, we haven't seen each other for a while, what kind of wind is blowing you here today, isn't the business in the spring garden busy?"
With Gu Nanqiao's departure, Guo Xiaodong's status in the Peking Opera Troupe of Province B has risen sharply, and now it is at the juncture of the spring breeze, and the arrogance is almost exposed from the bones, and it can't be hidden.
What's more, it was too late for her to show off her might in front of Gu Nanqiao, and she wouldn't restrain at all.
"Hey, I'm really sorry for you, the New Year's performance season in Province B, what a great opportunity, you are not uncommon, and you resigned directly. Tsk, sure enough, the family has a big business, and it is different to have a private troupe, young actors like us who are conscientious and want to sing...... I can't compare it - but I can understand it, after all, Gu Huadan is a person with big ambitions, where can a small place like the Peking Opera Troupe in Province B accommodate you?"
For such undisguised cynicism, Gu Nanqiao simply didn't bother to pay attention.
Adhering to the principle that if a mad dog bites someone, people can't bite back, she directly treats Guo Xiaodong as air, turns around and plans to leave. Who knew that Guo Xiaodong didn't understand the truth of accepting it when he saw it, so he quickly took a few steps forward and stopped in front of Gu Nanqiao.
"Hey, Gu Huadan, don't be in a hurry to leave?"
Seeing that Guo Xiaodong was pushing people too much, Gu Nanqiao paused, raised his eyebrows mockingly, and didn't save face for her.
"What, what's your opinion, Chief Guo?"
When saying this sentence "Chief Guo", Gu Nanqiao deliberately lengthened the tail note, and his clear and moving big eyes narrowed slightly, obviously satirizing Guo Xiaodong's breathlessness and the verification he changed on Weibo.
The more one is anxious to prove something, the more it represents what is missing.
Because I am not sure, I will be greedy for those formalistic things, and I can't wait to reveal "I am amazing" from every pore, and I want to overwhelm others with those illusory names, so that everyone will look up to her and envy her.
For example, Guo Xiaodong, who is incomparable at the moment, if she is really so confident, there is no need to show off her strength in front of her former competitors to find a sense of existence, and she is eager to confirm something.
Sure enough, as the words of this sentence fell, Guo Xiaodong immediately changed color.
Her slightly raised pair of beautiful eyes wandered back and forth on Gu Nanqiao's body, trying to find many emotions similar to "unwillingness, jealousy and hatred" from her trivial expressions, but she only saw a careless relief.
Such a comparison can't help but make Guo Xiaodong feel that he is as naΓ―ve as a clown jumping off the beam.
Why, when Gu Nanqiao was still in the Peking Opera Troupe of Province B before, she was a thorn in the flesh in the eye in front of Guo Xiaodong, blocking her brilliant future. Now that Gu Nanqiao has resigned, Guo Xiaodong still feels that the shadows left behind have not been dispersed for a long time, even if she becomes the main character, it is inevitable to compare with Gu Nanqiao.
Lin Lulu, Li Moyu, and Head Xia...... The eyes of those people, intentional or unintentional, were like a sharp knife, piercing Guo Xiaodong's heart, and even a few unintentional words from the band teacher - "This tune Xiao Guo sang reluctantly, but Xiao Gu sang quite smoothly before", which made Guo Xiaodong unable to deal with himself.
Gu Nanqiao, why is she?
Thinking like this, Guo Xiaodong completely suppressed his laughter, and his tone became sharper.
"Why, now that I have my own troupe, I don't bother to pay attention to my old colleagues earlier? Why didn't I see that Gu Huadan was such a sharp person?"
"It has nothing to do with the word Li," Gu Nanqiao chuckled lightly and said jokingly, "The Tao is not the same, I am simply too lazy to talk nonsense with you." β
"Yo, being a big boss is different, turning your face is faster than turning a book, not long ago we were colleagues in a theater troupe, what are you talking about different ways now?"
"Wait, did you misunderstand something?" Gu Nanqiao tilted his head and looked at Guo Xiaodong playfully, "When I was a colleague, I didn't go on the same road with you, or do you want to say that you have always regarded me as a friend earlier? β
"What's wrong with me?" Guo Xiaodong said in a thick voice.
"You forgot the video of the spring garden and those words in Captain Xia's office?" Gu Nanqiao smiled casually, "It's hard to see that Chief Guo spent so much thought on me before. However, now that the spring garden is full of personnel reorganization, and irrelevant people have been swept away, I guess if you want to pay attention to me later, there is no chance. β
I wanted to satirize others several times, but I was all scared back, Guo Xiaodong is really unspeakable.
She deliberately took the opportunity to see Gu Nanqiao's jokes, and vented the evil breath that had accumulated deep in her heart. She wanted to see Gu Nanqiao confused and hesitant, shatter her arrogance, and then guide her from above.
What could be more rewarding than stomping your former competitors under your feet?
However, Gu Nanqiao behaved so lightly, as if she was forced to resign from the Peking Opera Troupe in Province B, and it was not her who lost the great opportunity, which really made Guo Xiaodong, the initiator, have no sense of accomplishment, and only unspeakable annoyance remains.
She said in her heart, what kind of psychological quality is Gu Nanqiao, how can she be so bland.
This kind of ease and ease that comes and goes is not like pretending, but if Gu Nanqiao really doesn't take these things to heart, it seems that the people who are still thinking about these things are too unaffordable to let go.
After only a few seconds of silence, Guo Xiaodong retracted her thoughts, she decided that these reliefs were Gu Nanqiao's disguise, and continued to poke her pain.
"By the way, I paid attention to the performance of your troupe yesterday, so that's it. β
Guo Xiaodong opened his mouth unhurriedly, "However, thinking about the love of working together in the old days, I still have to praise you - it is not easy to toss a grass platform team like this." This is the same as waste utilization, piecing together a performance, it would be good if it could be successfully completed, how can you ask for more, don't you say, Gu Huadan?"
"I don't see it, you still pay attention to me, but you are still our audience in the spring garden. Gu Nanqiao raised his eyebrows with interest, looked at Guo Xiaodong's not very good-looking face, and said unhurriedly, "If the performance is not good-looking, why do you still pay attention, the co-authorship is just to pick on me, do you have nothing to do?"
Gu Nanqiao said these words without leaving any room for improvement, and Guo Xiaodong immediately couldn't get off the stage.
After holding it for a while, she finally held back a sentence.
"If you can't afford to listen to criticism so much, then what kind of independent theater troupe do you have?"
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~
