Chapter 60: Good Omen
"I'm sorry, I'm not doing it on purpose." Xiao Xiangyang folded his hands and apologized repeatedly.
Ding Miaomiao raised her voice angrily, "You don't know if she has a wound on her foot, can you have a snack!" ”
"I, I...... Comrade Yuchen, are your feet okay? Didn't I step on you? ”
"It's okay, it doesn't hurt."
Tao Yuchen is telling the truth, it really doesn't hurt, but it's strange if it doesn't hurt! Even if your foot is fine, it should hurt if you are suddenly stepped on by someone else.
But she didn't feel it at all! Could it be that both feet are unconscious? Isn't it crippled?
Tao Yuchen was a little scared in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face at all. She pulled Ding Miaomiao to the side, and her gaze was like a sharp knife piercing the drunkard's body, making him afraid to approach.
"Hmph, it's not a good thing for you people to come to find the surname Rao, bad luck, go away, don't get in the way of Lao Tzu!" Feng Ergou scolded the heavens and the earth with drunkenness.
Tao Yuchen saw that he was actually not completely drunk, otherwise how could he tell who was not easy to mess with?
As soon as Feng Daring left, Xiao Xiangyang hurried to the house, and as soon as he entered, the screams came out.
"Bloodshed! Captain Rao, are you alright? ”
Rao Changqing covered his forehead, blood flowed down his fingers to his cheeks, and he shook his head and waved his hands with a smile.
"It's okay to have a little skin injury, by the way, what's the matter with you coming to me?"
"I, Comrade Yuchen, Comrade Miao Miao, come in!"
Xiao Xiangyang ran to the door and shouted, and the two female comrades walked in.
The room was smashed, tables, chairs and benches were kicked to the ground, washstands were overturned, and glass shattered.
Rao Changqing was in order to protect the most valuable radio when Feng Daring broke his head, and when he saw that a guest was visiting, he hurriedly packed up his things.
"It's rude to be rude, Yangyang, you are really good, if you want to bring a friend over and don't say hello in advance, it caught me off guard."
"I took the liberty to come to visit, and I ask Head Rao not to be surprised."
Tao Yuchen put aside the gifts he brought, and helped clean up with Ding Miaomiao.
"The two of you are guests and lesbians, how can you do it, don't clean up, sit down quickly, Yangyang, quickly greet your friend for tea, I will go to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy some peanuts and melon seeds and come back."
Rao Changqing was hospitable, grabbed a towel and tied it on his head to cover the wound, and then touched the money from the drawer and prepared to go out.
Tao Yuchen hurriedly stopped: "Head Rao, don't be so polite, in fact, we have something to come to you for help." ”
"One of the idlers has no power and powerless, I don't know where I can work for two beautiful and dignified female comrades?"
Rao Changqing stood still with a smile, drew a semicircle in the air with one hand and put it on his chest, and performed a graceful prince salute in the drama.
Although he was wearing pants today, Tao Yuchen still pinched the trouser legs on both sides, imitating the princess's etiquette in return.
"Head Rao is modest, I can't hide it, I want to ask the former dancers of your troupe to serve as models, show me the costumes, and bother you to introduce them, of course, we don't use people in vain, the actors' appearance fees and your introduction fees can be discussed."
"Costume models?" Rao Changqing listened to Tao Yuchen's words and immediately removed the smile on his face, his expression was solemn and serious.
"Comrade, may I take the liberty of asking, what line of work do you do?"
In a small remote place like Xutong, although scammers are rare, Rao Changqing is still very vigilant.
"It's me who is abrupt, hello Captain Rao, my name is Tao Yuchen, my lover is Cheng Chenhao, a surgeon from Xutong Health, this is Ms. Ding Miao Miao Ding, she is my partner."
Tao Yuchen stretched out his hand in a friendly manner, Ding Miaomiao also cleared her throat, and pretended to be old and stepped forward to shake hands with Rao Changqing and say hello.
"It can be seen that the two comrades are straightforward people, since they are here to talk about business, then sit down quickly, Yangyang also sits, let's get straight to the point, no need to detour."
Rao Changqing is upright and bold by nature, others look at him as a lonely person, and think that he has lived a mess, but in fact, he likes this kind of comfort where one person eats enough and the whole family is not hungry.
"That's right, there is a batch of stock clothing in the red tassel factory, because the style is too trendy, people are not very acceptable, so it is not easy to sell in the department store, I think if I can let the model wear it on the body, the effect will be much better."
Tao Yuchen talked about the idea in general, and Rao Changqing immediately asked the question sharply.
"Costumes, exposed? The actors in our troupe are all good girls, and they will never do anything bad for money. ”
"It's all normal clothes that can be worn on the street, and there is absolutely no problem you are worried about, but when you think of this layer, it shows that you are a decent person, and I admire it."
Tao Yuchen had a further understanding of Rao Changqing in his heart, and in order to dispel his concerns, he also took the initiative to say: "If we can really cooperate at that time, we can sign a contract, and if the clothing is too revealing, the model has the right to refuse." ”
"Comrade Xiao Tao's conversation and knowledge are not like those in our small place in Xutong, and Ms. Ding, listening to her accent, she is from the south, right?"
Rao Changqing was actually tempted, but he didn't respond positively, but wanted to know more about the situation.
Tao Yuchen smiled and nodded, and Xiao Xiangyang also opened his mouth to help prove their identities, which completely eliminated Rao Changqing's vigilance.
After thinking for a while, Rao Changqing asked, "I don't know how many people Comrade Xiao Tao needs?" Where are you going to perform? ”
"My target is the county seat, only six people are needed for the time being, we need beautiful appearance, easy to communicate, can Head Rao help contact?"
"It's not difficult to get in touch, it turns out that there are a total of thirteen people in the dance group of our troupe, and the requirements for beautiful appearance must all be met, and the personality, there are indeed some girls who are difficult to get along with."
Rao Changqing thought about it seriously for a long time, and finally said, "Are you in a hurry about this?" Can you give me a few days? ”
"Although it is not urgent, but the personnel still need to be trained after they are confirmed, and the costumes displayed on the stage are still different from your previous performances, and the model's hairstyle and makeup also need to be determined in advance, so there is a lot of preparation work in advance."
Tao Yuchen thought about it and said to Rao Changqing: "Three days, I'll come to you again in three days, and I will officially meet the models, by the way, it turns out that the courtyard of the art troupe is still empty, right?" See if you can keep up with the application and borrow it for our model to rehearse for a few days, I can rent it for a fee, not in vain. ”
"It's a trivial matter, and it's on me, but there's one more thing I want to ask clearly."
It seemed a little difficult to speak, and Rao Changqing paused for a while before speaking again.
"It's about the pay, you have to give a rough number of this, and I'll go talk to them."
"Look at me, it's really a pig brain, and the most important thing almost forgot to say!" Tao Yuchen secretly estimated in his heart, and then said in detail: "With my current plan, I only need to show once a day, and I will give each model eight yuan, and also draw a good omen." ”
Rao Changqing was so shocked that he stood up directly.
"Comrade Xiao Tao, are you sure? Originally, when I was still in the art troupe, as the head of the troupe, my monthly salary was only 96 yuan, which was still the highest in the whole troupe. If you give eight yuan a game, if you perform for 30 days in a month, it will be 24! ”
"Don't get excited." Tao Yuchen smiled and said honestly: "I'm just a short-term job, and I can't be sure of how many shows I can do now, but after a month of acting, it is estimated that it is not very likely." ”
"That's right." Rao Changqing couldn't hide his loss, but after thinking about it, it was good to make some quick money to subsidize his family.
Thinking of this, Rao Changqing immediately went to take out the photo album in the drawer, which contained a group photo of their group, a few performances, and a newspaper from a few years ago.
"The head of the Xutong Art Troupe, Hua Danqu is elegant."
Tao Yuchen read out the headline in the newspaper, Rao Changqing's eyes flashed a touch of loss, and he hurriedly picked up other photos to divert his attention.
"Yo, this one is handsome, just this figure, he must look good in any clothes!"
Ding Miaomiao came to Tao Yuchen's side and looked at the newspaper in her hand, and immediately sighed with envy, although she was not fat, she was not small, and she was not a little feminine with long braids, so she was most envious of a woman like Qu Wenya.
"Head Rao must invite this Hua Dan here, after looking at a circle of photos, she is the best-looking!"
Ding Miaomiao grabbed the newspaper and hurriedly pointed it out to Rao Changqing, as if she was afraid that he didn't know him.
Rao Changqing was dumb and couldn't say what was bitter about eating Coptis chinensis, so he could only laugh stupidly.
Tao Yuchen was speechless about Ding Miaomiao's amnesia, and he had heard Xiao Xiangyang talk about the scandal between Qu Wenya and Rao Changqing at the mouth of the alley just now.
"I think they are all good-looking and meet my requirements, so I asked Head Rao to contact them, and there will be heavy thanks after the matter is completed."
Tao Yuchen secretly pulled the corner of Ding Miaomiao's clothes, signaled her not to speak, and then exchanged a few words of greeting with Rao Changqing, leaving all the gifts he brought, and when he left, Rao Changqing and Xiao Xiangyang also sent them away.
"Yangyang, how did you meet Comrade Xiao Tao?"
Rao Changqing was very curious, because in his impression, Xiao Xiangyang was very introverted, and Lao Xiao often complained when he met people, saying that Xiao Xiangyang was like a stuffy gourd, and he couldn't kick a fart with three feet, and he was worried that he would not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future.
"It's the letter I know, you have too many questions, don't ask them in the future."
Xiao Xiangyang smiled brightly, held Rao Changqing's shoulders with both hands, and looked into his eyes word by word.
Rao Changqing was like a marionette on the stage, nodded stunnedly, and repeated emotionlessly: "I won't ask in the future." ”
Hearing this, Xiao Xiangyang let go of his hand with satisfaction.
Rao Changqing took a sharp breath, and when he came back to his senses, Xiao Xiangyang was walking towards the narrow and dim alley against the light, and soon his figure was submerged in the shadows, opaque, and darker and darker.
The matter of the model was temporarily finalized, and Ding Miaomiao accompanied Tao Yuchen to the Postal Savings Bank.
The previous procedures were complete, and the loan was approved, and the documents were signed through the process, and soon Tao Yuchen got the first money.
