Chapter 118: The show officially begins
The person who spoke was a middle-aged man with a small head, a large beer belly, who was standing in front of the Teutonic prince and nodding his head and asking something.
"This man is one of the officials sent by the cabinet to receive members of the royal family of the British Empire, named Qian Qian. Guo Ning on the side whispered to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen suddenly realized!
"Prince Teuton, don't you know what you're doing here?" Qian Qian's face was full of smiles, and his facial features were squeezed together on his oily fleshy face, and he said flatteringly.
The Teutonic prince was startled by this enthusiastic fat man who suddenly appeared, and looked at Qian Qian with a puzzled expression.
Qian Qian reacted, and his flattery was even worse, "I am Qian Gan, an official sent by the cabinet to receive your country's mission this time. ”
When the Teutonic prince heard this, his heart moved, and he immediately glanced at Ye Chen and the others, and then said: "Our troupe will perform at the royal gathering and exchange between the two countries later, and we came here to rehearse in advance, but I didn't expect that your troupe would not want to lend us the stage." ”
"Oh, is there such a thing?" Qian Qian pretended to be surprised.
Then he turned his head to look at Ye Chen and the others with a smile on his face and said:
"This is your mistake! The Teutonic prince led the troupe to perform in our country with the purpose of enhancing the friendship between the two countries, and we, as the hosts, should be warmly entertained. ”
Prince Teutonic looked at Qian Qian, who had a "righteous and awe-inspiring" face, obviously he didn't expect the fat man in front of him to make him feel disgusted to speak so high-soundingly, looking at Ye Chen and the others' ugly faces, Prince Teutonic couldn't help but show a smile on his face.
At this time, Xie Quan's face was also a little ugly, and he never expected that the official of the empire in front of him would indiscriminately help the Teutonic prince as soon as he came in.
Although Xie Quan is now the head of the troupe, he has never held a position in the system before, and he doesn't know what to say in the face of Qian Qian, who is full of officialdom.
Seeing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, there is no doubt that Xie Quan has extremely high attainments in drama, but in officialdom, he is completely no different from an ordinary person.
However, the person in front of him also made Ye Chen very unhappy, as an official of the empire, he kept turning his elbow outward, which reminded Ye Chen of the "counter office" in his previous life, the only difference is that Wanwan is also his own person, but such a kneeling and licking without a lower limit makes the Chinese people themselves look down on it!
However, the person in front of him made Ye Chen even more contemptuous in his heart, thinking of this, Ye Chen stood up and said: "First of all, it is obvious that we came first, are we willing to let it be our business, and it has nothing to do with others! Second, if they want to perform, shouldn't we perform? Or do you think the performance of the British Imperial Royal Theatre is more important than the performance of the Imperial Royal Theatre? Secondly, the theater is more than just this stage, it is just a rehearsal, why not let them go to other stages?" If they insist on this stage under our feet, then what do they have in mind? As an official of the Empire, I want you to think clearly!"
Ye Chen's words were reasonable, and as soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the troupe applauded, and Xie Quan also looked at Ye Chen with an appreciative look and nodded.
When Qian Qian heard this, his face was also a little ugly, in fact, Qian Qian, like Guo Ning, was temporarily promoted by the empire in order to receive members of the royal family of the British Empire, and before that, Qian Qian was just an inconspicuous little shrimp in the imperial officialdom.
Therefore, Qian Qian, who thought that there was no hope of promotion in this life, cherished this opportunity extraordinarily, and even since the first day the members of the British Empire's royal family entered the palace, Qian Qian had been guarding them so that their problems could be solved at any time.
For Qian Qian, entertaining the royal family members of the British Empire is a real political achievement!
The hard work paid off, and the members of the British Imperial Royal Family had already recognized all the members of the British Empire before they arrived in the Empire, and soon found that the Teutonic prince was leading a group of people towards the Royal Theater.
However, after knowing that it was the Teutonian prince, Qian Qian did not rush up.
After all, the strange character of the Teutonic prince has long been known to everyone, and Qian Qian doesn't want to be unable to eat mutton and make a fuss.
But Qian Qian was unwilling to give up this great opportunity in front of him, and in line with the purpose of not seeking merit but seeking no fault, Qian Qian followed the Teutonic prince all the way to the theater.
Later, I also saw the conflict between the troupes on both sides.
Although Qian Qian also knew that the Teutonic prince had no reason to take advantage of this matter, but seeing the political achievements in front of him, how could Qian Qian have any reason to give up?
There are two official words, is there anyone who is more "reasonable" than an official?
"Damn, I didn't expect it to happen!"
Thinking so in his heart, Qian Qian's face was also a little ugly, he thought that he was already a master of buttoning hats, but he didn't expect that the young kid in front of him was so experienced, what is the performance of the British Empire Royal Troupe is more important than the performance of the Imperial Royal Troupe, as an official of the Empire, if this is to be passed out, he will become a kneeling party?
However, Qian Qian is worried about Xie Quan, as the honorary head of the Imperial Royal Troupe, although Xie Quan is not an official, but after all, he is linked to the royal family, and if he can not provoke, he will not provoke.
However, if someone else jumps out to obstruct him, then there is nothing to be polite.
For example, Ye Chen in front of him!
"I can't say that, as an official appointed by the cabinet to entertain members of the royal family of the British Empire, and the Teutonic prince as a distinguished guest of the empire, it is normal for him to be treated preferentially, which can also reflect the bearing of my country of etiquette in China, on the contrary, if some small things are taken care of with the distinguished guests, it may also destroy the friendship between the two countries, young man, you are still young, and it is understandable that you don't understand this, but Captain Xie is a reasonable person, and he must not make it difficult for me, right?"
After speaking, Qian Qian looked at Xie Quan with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Xie Quan was also a little hesitant, and felt that what Qian Qian said made some sense, after all, it was just a stage, and there were many theaters, and the troupe was not the first to perform on stage, so it was okay to take a step back.
I have to say that there is still a level of money that has been immersed in officialdom for a long time, and the suspicion of kneeling and licking the party was cleared with a word, not only that, but also turned against Ye Chen's army, saying that Ye Chen was suspected of destroying the friendship between the two countries, and finally used Ye Chen's young age and ignorance as an excuse to whitewash Ye Chen, and at the same time blocked Ye Chen's reason to speak.
After all, it would be irresponsible to say it at a young age.
But Ye Chen is not such an easy person to deal with!
Although he knew in his heart that he was beginning to underestimate the official of the empire in front of him.
Glancing at Xie Quan, seeing that Xie Quan's face was a little moved, and he faintly looked like he was persuaded by Qian Qian, Ye Chen suddenly felt bad in his heart.
For Ye Chen, Ye Chen has never been afraid to speculate on the kindness of others with the worst malice, if at first Ye Chen just thought that the Teutonic prince was just a temporary battle of will, then Ye Chen at this time does not see it that way!
On the contrary, Ye Chen felt that the Teutonic prince was deliberately causing trouble, and the purpose was not to rehearse, but to demoralize the members of the troupe.
Imagine, if the members of the troupe are really forced to give up the stage this time, then their hearts will naturally be unhappy, and once the actors can't handle this emotion in their hearts during the upcoming performance, they will naturally be affected and cause abnormal performance!
Ye Chen didn't want his "Hamlet" to lose for the first time on the stage.
It is reasonable to be reasonable, Ye Chen can't let the stage out this time!
Whether it's for now, or for a while!
But then, the show begins! )
