Later, I paid the CEO's ex-husband

Life seems to be exactly what Chu Ruo expected, like a straight line, sliding forward solidly and steadily in the long river of time.

The life in the theater is very regular. Every morning, there are two hours of practice and class, and Chu Ruo will practice and class with the members of the troupe.At ten o'clock, they were about to start rehearsing, so Chu Ruo went to Dai Guang's place and asked Dai Guang to assign him work.Dai Guang is very kind to everyone, but he cares more about the children in his group.He knew that Chu Ruo seldom had breakfast in the morning, so when Chu Ruo came to him after her morning class, the first job he assigned to Chu Ruo was to eat breakfast.

His breakfast should be brought from home, steamed stuffed bun today, porridge tomorrow, and milk and eggs.A middle-aged man like Dai Guang has passed the age of eating milk and eggs, and his son has grown up and does not need him to care about it. He specially asked his wife to prepare milk and eggs for Chu Ruo every day.

Chu Ruo had some vague guesses, but she didn't dare to say this guess, so she could only obediently listen to Dai Guang's words, and ate breakfast well.

Being put on like this, being fed and supervised by three roommates in turn, Chu Ruo has been in the theater for more than three months, and she is much more energetic than when she first joined the theater company. Although she is still thin, she is also lean. Thin, not as thin as before.

The day of the performance is coming soon. At the end of next month, the atmosphere of the troupe gradually becomes tense. Everyone's face and heart are like stones, and the air is densely covered with a trace of tension from their bodies. The stretched strings made people dare not touch them casually, for fear that one person would collapse, and even the entire theater troupe would collapse.

Chu Ruo was more or less infected by this atmosphere, but he was a little at a loss.One day at noon, while eating lunch, he hugged the lunch box Dai Guang gave him and sat beside Peng Haoran, and whispered: "Haoran, I want to ask you something."

Peng Haoran scooped up a spoonful of Laohuo soup and was about to put it in his mouth, when he heard this, he put the spoon back into the crock: "What's the matter?"

"I think everyone is very nervous." Chu Ruo said, "Why? This shouldn't be the first public performance, right? Sister Fang Geli and the others have already accumulated a wealth of performance experience before? And Wen Xi Brother, he’s not a newcomer either, why do you think he’s more nervous than the actors?” As he spoke, he and Peng Haoran looked at Wang Wenxi at the same time, and happened to see Wang Wenxi sitting in the auditorium with a lunch box on his lap and Holding the chopsticks hanging by his side, he stared at the stage in a trance without moving.

"I don't dare to ask other people." Chu Ruo and Peng Haoran looked away. Peng Haoran seized the time to take a sip of Laohuo soup. Chu Ruo subconsciously took a bite of braised pork, and continued to talk to Peng Haoran while chewing, "After all, everyone's aura is very..."

"Then why did you come to ask me?" Peng Haoran asked with his chopsticks to pick up the pig's trotters in the crock.

Chu Ruo looked at Peng Haoran: "You look okay, at least you don't toss and turn and can't sleep at night like Cao Tian and the others. You slept pretty well, that snoring, it's loud..."

Peng Haoran laughed and said, "You say I'm crazy, don't you?" He threw the pork trotter into Chu Ruo's lunch box.

Chu Ruo waved her hands modestly: "Don't dare."

After these few months, Chu Ruo has gotten along well with everyone, and is gradually able to joke with everyone, even making jokes from time to time.He himself was not an easy-going person, but now he was with sunny boys like Cao Tian every day, so he was naturally much more easy-going.

Peng Haoran laughed for a while, then lowered his voice to Chu Ruo's ear, and said, "They are all important roles, so of course they can't sleep. I'm just a supporting role, and those who don't have lines, must be more nervous than them."

"But it's not the first time for them to play an important role?" Chu Ruo asked.

Peng Haoran blinked, then smiled "hehe": "I'll tell you something."

"You say."

"On the first day of the performance, big names in the film industry will come to watch." Peng Haoran grinned and said with a smile.

Chu Ruo's expression froze for a moment.He quickly adjusted back and asked again, "Who?"

"I don't know about that." Peng Haoran took the lid of Chu Ruo's lunch box, poured half a cup of soup for Chu Ruo, and drank the rest of the soup by himself.

Chu Ruo gave Peng Haoran two large pieces of braised pork.

Peng Haoran smiled contentedly while eating the braised pork.

Chu Ruo asked again: "The big guys in the film industry will come here, sister Fang Geli, sister Wen Xi, why are they nervous?"

"Those big bosses are here to choose actors." Peng Haoran said.

Chu Ruo let out an "oh".

Peng Haoran looked at him, and suddenly teased him: "Why don't I talk to Brother Wen Xi and ask him to arrange for you to go to the stage on the day of the performance to show his face? Maybe he will be selected by the bosses. Here we go."

Chu Ruo patted his messy short hair with a smile, and shook her head: "What are you talking about?"

Peng Haoran didn't get angry when he patted his head, and said to himself: "Hey, how lucky I am to be selected by the boss. You don't know, whether it's Brother Fang, Sister Li, or the boss Hu and the others are all top-notch old actors. They came to the troupe because they like acting, but they have no filming, and they don’t want to waste their talents as extras on the set. But you don’t have to doubt their dialogue skills Love, they can scare people to death when they are serious."

Chu Ruo said, "I never doubted it." He had personally seen Fang You and Cheng Li, also known as Sister Li, discussing how to express a line better until midnight.That kind of enthusiasm, if it is not because of love, then nothing can explain it.

"That's why, the actors are conflicted, and Brother Wen Xi is also conflicted." Peng Haoran said, "Brother Fang and the others have developed deep feelings for this place. If they go to filming, they will definitely come back very rarely. Of course, they are reluctant. But they can't stay in this small theater all the time, can they? Who else watches dramas now? Brother Wen Xi also understands this truth, and he also wants Brother Fang and the others to be well, but once they leave, the troupe will inevitably lose a lot of blood. gone."

Chu Ruo said: "Why is there no one? You are not human, and I am not human."

Peng Haoran grinned.

Chu Ruo finally found out the identity of the big shot in the film industry on the day of the performance.

Five years later, He Fang doesn't seem to have changed much, and so does Gao Rongsen, who still likes to wear floral shirts and flared trousers.When Chu Ruo saw them coming in from the door in the background, he wasn't too surprised, because at the time Peng Haoran mentioned it, he had guessed in his heart, and seeing them today, it really was them.

Next to Gao Rongsen is Chinese.

Hua Wen still looked indifferent, the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose had not been changed, and his suit and trousers were still straight. He just followed behind Gao Rongsen and stepped down the steps to the auditorium on the first floor.

Chu Ruo's heart beat faster and faster, and when he saw Hua Wen standing less than 30 meters away from him, he felt his heart was about to jump out of his chest.

He didn't know what he was nervous about, let alone why he was still reading Chinese when he was so nervous.

Wang Wenxi talked to them for a while, then asked them to sit down.When Huawen turned around, he raised his head slightly, and cast his cold eyes behind the stage curtain.

Chu Ruo just stood there looking out, before almost meeting Hua Wen's shrewd gaze, she shrank her head suddenly, and then hid behind the curtain and took a deep breath.

Dai Guang came up: "What's the matter, Xu Rong?"

Chu Ruo quickly said, "Master, I'm fine."

Dai Guang patted him: "Take a rest for 10 minutes when you're tired."

"I'm really fine." Chu Ruo scratched the back of her head and said.

"Then let's do the work." Dai Guang said, "Go and get the flower props."

Chu Ruo responded, turned around and ran to work.

Fang You, Cheng Li and a group of actors were quiet for a few hours before going on stage, but just before going on stage, they all gathered together, cheered each other up, and were ready to go on stage.Chu Ruo was also a little nervous being led by them, and she didn't know how to move her hands and feet standing in the background.

But the nervousness is the nervousness, and everyone still handed in a satisfactory answer tonight.Originally, the script was very solid and full of suspense. Coupled with the actors' catching people and professional performances, the whole performance was even more enjoyable.Soon Chu Ruo was immersed in the virtual world constructed by the actors again, even more engrossed than when she first watched them rehearse.After the performance, the sparse applause from the auditorium brought him back to his senses, and then Chu Ruo felt a little uncomfortable.

"Such a good performance," Chu Ruo couldn't help but said to Peng Haoran, who had already finished his role and went backstage to drink Coke, "why not many people came to see it."

"Tonight's situation is considered good." Peng Haoran said, "The attendance rate is at least half."

"This half should be gathered by those loyal fans of Emperor Gao who have heard that Emperor Gao will come to see the drama." Peng Haoran added.

The more Chu Ruo thought about it, the more sad she became: "Why is this..."

"Brother Wen Xi was quite enthusiastic about publicizing and running business in the early days, but no one cares about it. After a long time, Brother Wen Xi no longer has that kind of patience. Fortunately, the Liuguang Theater Troupe is a project of Beihua City, so don't worry Closed." Peng Haoran said, "No one really likes to watch dramas now. Brother Wenxi can only comfort the big guys and say that the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys."

Chu Ruo scratched her hair and remained silent.

At this time, Dai Guang came over and called Chu Ruo: "Xu Rong, come and clean up."

"Hey!" Chu Ruo responded loudly, the voice was so loud that it almost startled Peng Haoran beside him.

Peng Haoran stroked his chest, helplessly watching Chu Ruo run away.

But when Chu Ruo was about to run to the stage, she stopped in time.He moved a little nervously, and moved all the way to the back of the curtain, opened a corner to look out, and happened to see He Fang and the others still talking to Wang Wenxi in the auditorium.

Fang You and Cheng Li stood beside Wang Wenxi.

Gao Rongsen and Hua Wen were also there, surrounded by several people chatting.

Huawen seldom speaks, and usually listens. Occasionally, when Gao Rongsen pokes him, he will simply say a word or two, and soon falls silent again.

Chu Ruo was very hesitant. He was afraid that He Fang, Gao Rongsen, and especially Hua Wen would recognize him when he went on stage to pack up the props.

He wanted to wait for them to leave before cleaning up by himself.

However, Dai Guang was already on the stage. He waited and waited for Chu Ruo to disappear. When he looked back, he saw Chu Ruo hiding behind the curtain with a pair of beautiful eyes flashing wildly, so he raised his voice and called him: "Xu Rong! What are you doing?" ? Come on."

Chu Ruo couldn't take care of it anymore, and casually took the mask props from a boy passing by him, put it on his face, and then ran to the stage.

This mask prop is used in the play, and it still retains the sweat from the actors wearing it.Chu Ruo didn't take it seriously, and rushed to Dai Guang's side wearing it, took the table leg from Dai Guang's hand, and put it on the cart.

Dai Guang looked at the mask on his face: "What are you doing?"

Chu Ruo's voice came out from under the mask, becoming dull and distorted: "Play."

Dai Guang said, "Are you still young?" He didn't say anything more, and asked Chu Ruo and other props crew to install the props and move them off the stage.

Chu Ruo lowered her head and bent her waist, her hands kept working.His face was soon covered with sweat from the mask, and the sweat dripped from his forehead, hanging on his eyelashes, making him itchy.He blinked desperately, trying to shake off the sweat.

At that time, he was holding a heavy vase in both hands, and was walking on the steps down the stage. When he blinked, he couldn't see the steps clearly for a moment, sprained his ankle, and was about to fall off the steps.

At that moment, a strong hand grabbed his arm, and the other firmly held his waist.Chu Ruo stood firm in an instant, and suddenly his hands were empty. He looked up in surprise, and saw that the vase had been taken by Gao Rongsen.

Gao Rongsen handed the vase to the props crew, and looked back at Chu Ruo: "Your mask is crooked."

Chu Ruo hurriedly straightened the mask, but at this moment, a Chinese voice suddenly rang in his ears: "What's your name?"

Chu Ruo broke free from Hua Wen's hands in a panic, and rushed backstage without thinking.

Gao Rongsen looked at the man running away, frowned and looked at Hua Wen: "What's wrong with you?"

Hua Wen looked indifferently at the direction where Chu Ruo ran away, and took a long time to look back.He took off his glasses and rubbed between his eyebrows: "It seems that I'm really tired and I'm hallucinating."

"I'll accompany you to eat." Gao Rongsen said.

Hua Wen nodded slightly, then followed Gao Rongsen out.

Before walking out of the theater, Huawen turned his head and took a last look at the darkened stage, his eyes also darkened.
