Chapter 41: Trouble
(Ask for support!) Ask for a ticket! )
Ron's experience made Li Yaoyang understand a truth - if you don't die, you won't die.
Isn't it fragrant to be a rich third-generation inheritor of the family business?
ran away from home because of a moment of depression, and staged a bloody drama between the runaway prince and Cinderella.
As a result, Cinderella is really black, and traditional outsiders have pitted him, not only becoming a robber, but now he is also in a homeless situation.
What else can be said? It's miserable!
But this is also what he asked for, no wonder others.
Li Yaoyang was still thinking about how to make use of this boy, but he didn't expect to be a fool, so he suddenly lost interest, and just begged not to cause trouble to himself.
So he said:
"I can let you go, but you have to tell me, what's the name of the guy who got you to rob? Where are the people? ”
"Uh~Thank you~" Brother Childe is quite polite: "I don't know what his name is, I've been staying at the Morrow Hotel in Little Italy recently." ”
"Hotel Morro? What's that girlfriend's name? ”
"Juliet~"
"Poof~" Li Yaoyang almost squirted, but unfortunately he was not Romeo.
"What's wrong?"
"It's okay, good name~"
Noting down these two names, Li Yaoyang got up and said:
"After drinking, you can go by yourself, as for your partner, if you want to wronged them to stay with me for a few days, it will be regarded as punishment~"
"Wait~" Ron stopped him.
"Anything else?"
"I... I have nowhere to go, and I don't have any money on me, so I wonder if you can take me in? ”
Poor boy, he actually fell into this situation.
Li Yaoyang wrinkled his brows: "Man, I suggest going home and seeing, after all, it is a family, and there is no contradiction that cannot be resolved." ”
"To be honest, I don't like the atmosphere at home, and I don't want to listen to their arrangements, that's not the life I want~"
Rebellious child, Li Yaoyang thought to himself.
"Then pursue the life you want, and don't bother me."
Brother Gongzi is trouble, Li Yaoyang didn't want to make trouble for himself, so he simply refused.
"Your life is the life I want~" Ron said hurriedly.
"Huh? Do you know what kind of life we have? ”
"I know! Just in the back warehouse, I noticed that you have brewing equipment, which means you want to make your own wine, right? ”
Ron wasn't a complete idiot either, at least with some observational skills.
"What do you want to say?" Li Yaoyang turned around and stared at him deadly.
Ron was taken aback and quickly explained:
"I mean, I can help with bartending~"
"You know how to bartend?" Li Yaoyang was surprised, he was lucky today, what do you want.
"Uh~ It's not professional, but I've been exposed to all kinds of alcohol since I was a child, and many well-known bartenders are guests of my family~"
Li Yaoyang doesn't know what to say, there are some things that people have since they were born, but for most people, they may not be able to ask for it all their lives.
"You're going to need a bartender, right? Please let me try, if you are not satisfied, it will not be too late to drive me away~"
"But you're at home~" Li Yaoyang still hesitated.
"They are busy fighting for property, they don't have time to deal with me, even if they really come over, I will deal with it myself, and I will never cause you trouble~"
Speaking of which, Li Yaoyang couldn't find a reason to refuse.
"Okay, then try it, but the ugly words are ahead, I just have to eat and live, no salary, and I can only get money when the wine you mix generates profits."
"I understand, don't worry~"
"As for your girlfriend..."
"I won't contact her again~"
"That's good, go up and find an empty room to sleep in, by the way, if you find a young lady to accompany the wine, you have to spend your own money."
Ron smiled bitterly:
"I don't have that spare time~"
In the second half of the night, Fat Dun'er and Xiao Wu were still trying to make malt pulp, and they were very busy, Li Yaoyang stayed with them for a while, and sleepiness came up and prepared to go home to sleep.
As soon as I went out, I met Xiao Qi's steps and hurried back.
"Brother Yang~"
"Huh? What did you find? Li Yaoyang cheered up.
"That kid is indeed a descendant of the Frick family, but their family has been in turmoil recently, the old family owner is dead, and in order to compete for the family property, several brothers and sisters are inseparable."
Li Yaoyang nodded:
"It's the same as what the kid said, okay, you go back and rest first, those people in the warehouse will be locked up for a few days before they are released, and as for Ron, he will stay and be a bartender."
"Huh? Bartender? He? A son-in-law? ”
No wonder Xiao Qi was surprised, anyone who listens to it will feel incredible.
"He said he would, then let him try, anyway, we can't find anyone else~"
"Well, I always think this kid is a nuisance~"
"Well~ let's do it first, there is no better choice~"
"It's ~ listen to Brother Yang's ~"
Pat him on the shoulder:
"But we've been calculated, and we can't afford to get this account back."
Xiao Qi twisted and laughed:
"If you say a word, our brothers will come to the door to seek justice~"
"Hehe, tomorrow if you're okay, go to the Morrow Hotel in Little Italy, there's a woman named Juliet, see who she associates with."
"No problem!"
———————————
Hudson Theatre, renovation is in the final stages, and the theater is in a hurry.
Li Yaoyang came to his director's office early in the morning to continue to improve the script, and whether the Hudson Theater can regain its glory after the reopening depends on this play.
Not only is it important to Hudson Theatre, but it is also important to Lai Yaoyang himself.
If this play is a big success again, his position on Broadway will be completely secured.
The first successful Chinese theater producer in Broadway history? It can be regarded as a name in history.
'Knock~' There was a knock on the office door.
Shouting in, Sarah Hudson pushed the door open and came in.
"Busy?"
"Perfecting the script, what's the matter?"
"You forgot? Today is the day of casting actors~"
"Haven't forgotten, the time hasn't come yet, has it?"
He glanced at the clock on the wall, it was a quarter past ten, and he was so engrossed that he forgot the time.
"Saorui, I'm late~"
"It's okay~"
"Let's go~"
The two walked downstairs side by side, because the main stage was still under construction, and the interview location had to be placed in the backstage, and a space of more than ten square meters was specially demarcated, which was enough to toss.
There are many people who come, and they all know that it is a new play by the producers of "Titanic", and many young actors who are eager to become famous want to fight for a future.
Early this morning, there was a rare long queue at the entrance of the Hudson Theater, not the audience, but the actors who came for the interview.
This caused the original signed actors of Hudson Theatre to be very unhappy, why should they recruit new talents? Why don't you use us?
So, they were ready to hold back a big move to give Li Yaoyang a good look, and at the same time let him retreat.
That's why as soon as Li Yaoyang entered the backstage, he felt a strange atmosphere flowing.
Not only did he feel it, but Sarah felt it more obviously, but she didn't speak, wanting to see how Li Yaoyang dealt with it.
However, when she glanced at him with her spare eyes, she saw that there was no wave on his face, as if he hadn't noticed anything, and she couldn't help but worry.
The originally cluttered and crowded backstage has been emptied at this time.
The long corridor connecting the dressing room to the standby room is packed with actors, all familiar faces, all of whom have been seen before in "Uncle Tom's Cabin".
Li Yaoyang calmly sat behind the judges' bench, lowered his head to sort out the resumes and pen and paper on the table, and didn't pay attention to the actors at all.
He didn't speak, and Sarah couldn't speak, so she could only sit next to him and sweat for him.
She could see that the people in the corridor were holding back.
In the quiet background, the air is almost stagnant, and the smoky yellow lighting seems to deliberately exaggerate the terrifying atmosphere, setting off the surging undercurrent.
The long silence was alarming, except for the rustling of the sound of Li Yaoyang flipping the paper.
Finally, the one standing at the front couldn't help it, cleared his throat and stood up and said:
"We need an explanation, and if we don't answer satisfactorily, you won't be able to do today's interview."
Li Yaoyang didn't raise his eyelids, and asked lightly:
"Who are you?"
The man's face turned red instantly, and he didn't know if he was ashamed of being ignored or indignant because he was not taken seriously.
He raised the volume:
"Don't pretend, you know who I am!"
"I'm sorry, I really don't know~" Li Yaoyang still didn't raise his gaze, and he didn't know what was in the document in his hand that attracted him, and his eyes were about to fall in.
"Damn, please give me respect, I am Pete Hughes, the oldest actor in the Hudson Theatre, who has been active on the theatre stage for ten years, and is a hero of the theatre, please show the qualities of a gentleman, an ignorant young man!"
Facing Pete Hughes's roar, Li Yaoyang finally raised his head and looked at him with a pair of innocent eyes:
"What respect do you want?"
"I know that Mrs. Hudson invited you to start a new play, and to invest in rebuilding the theater."
"Yes, you're right, but what does it have to do with you?"
Pete stepped forward and slapped the table, and the real paper flew down and was all over the floor.
"What do you say has to do with me? I'm the main character of the theater, and I deserve a new play!
But you exclude not only me, but also my colleagues, who have contributed to the theatre and have remained steadfast in its most difficult times.
If you can't give us a satisfactory explanation, don't want to put your new play on stage. ”
The actors in the corridor rushed up and stood behind Pete Hughes to give him a boost.
"Yes, don't think about opening, give us an explanation!"
"Bastard, you're a newcomer, you'd better know where you are."
"Watch out for my punching bag-sized fist, Chinese kid~"
…
Relying on the large number of people, there are all kinds of discriminatory words in the background.
Sarah couldn't sit still and stood up and called on everyone to remain calm:
"hey~ guys, I know you have grievances in your hearts, but if you have something to say, this way won't solve the problem~"
Sarah's soft words indirectly fueled the other party's arrogance:
"Mrs. Hudson, we respect you, but your men don't seem to want to respect us..."
The tone of this mockery tickled the teeth of those who listened to it.
"lee~" Sarah's face turned to Li Yaoyang with a worried face.
