The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen and the others were going to Hainan, which caused a sensation in the troupe. That evening, under the tallow trees and camphor trees, five tables formed a long strip, and many people cooked and brought out vegetables in the corridor.

For the first time, Feng Laogui bought ten bottles of Qianbeishou. The martial arts students stopped going out to join the society. They went to the shop below, walked around, pointed at the dishes he put on the chopping board, and talked to the boss. He said, fry all the dishes in your store and send them to the top. Someone will come to pay the bill in two days.

"Where's the one in the refrigerator?" the boss asked.

"Together."

"Then all I have left is noodles and rice cakes." The boss looked at them and said.

"Let's get it all done together. Remember, someone will come to pay the Wu Opera Troupe in two days."

The boss smiled broadly: "Don't worry, don't worry, you guys from the Wu Opera Troupe, I still can't believe it, they are all old neighbors."

One of them saw a box of coconut juice piled with beer in the corner and said, Sister Zhen likes to drink this.

"Boss, bring this box of coconut juice up too."

Several people returned to Gaofang. There were many people sitting around the table. Teacher Li was sitting at the top, which was the upper seat. Sitting next to them were a few old men. A few martial arts students were opposite Zhang Chen and the others. sit down.

In the small shop below, food was delivered to the top one after another, and every time it was delivered, there was a burst of exclamation, followed by a burst of wind and residual clouds.

Halfway through the drink, Teacher Li felt that he should say a few words. He stood up and told everyone that we wish Zhang Chen and Gangzi immediate success and make a name for themselves in Hainan!

"Yes, yes," said drummer Teacher Xu, "then we will invite our troupe to perform in Hainan for a week."

"Teacher Xu, I'd better ask you to play the drum." Someone shouted, and everyone laughed.

Teacher Xu also smiled and said, "No problem. If they invite me, I can knock on them all day and all night without any problem."

"That's not a drum, it's a wooden fish." Someone joked, and everyone burst into laughter again.

The leading one among the martial arts students stood up, picked up the cup, and said to Zhang Chen and the others:

"Brother Chen, Brother Gang, Sister Zhen, Sister Li, and Sister Mei, I won't say much else. I'm stupid and can't say it. If anything happens to you in Hainan, just give me a call and we'll kill you without saying a word. come over!"

"Okay!" Someone applauded, "Then you won't be afraid even if you encounter the Red Detachment of Women."

"The Women's Army? The Women's Army only needs to send Liu Ligan and Hong Changqing."

Everyone laughed again.

Zhang Chen, Liu Ligan, Jin Lili, and Tan Shuzhen all stood up. Xu Jianmei was coy, hesitated for a moment and then stood up as well. Everyone clinked their glasses and drank the contents in one gulp.

The meal lasted until about 11 o'clock in the evening. Jin Lili and Tan Shuzhen wanted to help clean up, but Teacher Li and the others drove them away, saying that you had to get up early tomorrow, so you should go back to bed first.

As soon as Zhang Chen and Jin Lili returned to the room, there was a knock on the door. Jin Lili opened the door, and it was Xu Jianmei standing outside the door, as if she had something to say but hesitated.

"Me or Zhang Chen?" Jin Lili asked.

"Anything is fine," Xu Jianmei said.

"What's the matter?" Jin Lili asked.

Xu Jianmei looked at her, then nodded, and continued to hesitate. Jin Lili said anxiously: "If you have anything to say, just tell Jianmei."

"Am I inconvenient?" Zhang Chen asked, "Then I'll avoid it."

"No, no." Xu Jianmei was anxious, "I came here just to tell you that I might not be able to go tomorrow."

"Why?" Jin Lili opened her eyes wide.

"I think... I think... I think I am a girl, Lily, you have Zhang Chen, Tan Shuzhen has the pole, and I am the only one." Xu Jianmei said with a sigh of relief.

"What's wrong with one person? We're all in this together. When we get there, if something happens to you, will we leave it alone?" Jin Lili asked curiously.

"Hey, I can't explain clearly." Xu Jianmei looked at Jin Lili and almost cried: "I just can't go."

She handed Jin Lili a bus ticket from Yongcheng to Hangcheng early the next morning:

"This is my ticket, please refund it for me."

"Okay, wait, I'll give you the ticket money." Jin Lili said.

"No, no, no." Xu Jianmei waved her hand and ran away as if running away.

After closing the door, Jin Lili and Zhang Chen looked at each other in shock. Jin Lili cursed: "What a ghost, how could this happen?"

Zhang Chen also wondered: "Yes, Xu Jianmei doesn't have a boyfriend. It makes sense if she has a boyfriend."

The two of them guessed for a long time, but couldn't guess the reason.

How did they know that this afternoon, Xu Jianmei still felt uncertain after thinking about it. She went directly to the Cultural Bureau, found Ding Baigou, and told the matter to Captain Ding.

When Ding Baigou heard this, he took her to the conference room nearby and said to her seriously:

"The nature of this matter is very serious. Do you understand this troubled time? Wu Opera Troupe is in a sensitive period now. By doing this, you are destroying the efforts of your superiors to stabilize the troupe. It will make people in the troupe panic. This is by no means what you imagined. Yes, it's as simple as absenteeism. I'll put it harshly, the worst is to be removed from the list. Do you know that if you are removed from the list, it will be entered into the file!

"With such a stain, let me tell you, you, Xu Jianmei, are doomed in this life. No decent unit will want you, and you will never be able to hold your head up in your life! By the way, how old are you this year?"

"Twenty." Xu Jianmei muttered.

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

Xu Jianmei shook her head, and Ding Baigou said: "Then let me tell you, with this stain, you will have problems finding a boyfriend. Think about it, who would find someone who has been expelled from the company?"

Ding Baigou's words made Xu Jianmei turn pale with fright. She couldn't stop trembling as she sat there.

Ding Baigou stood up, went to the next door to get a glass of water, came back and placed it in front of Xu Jianmei, his tone was a little gentler:

"Come, drink water, drink water, don't worry too much. This hasn't happened yet. You came here and told me yourself. Very good. You saved yourself. Really, in the troupe it's like this Among many people, I am optimistic about you. I think your future is very bright. No, today's incident has proved it. Zhang Chen, hum! And that Liu Ligan, hum!

"People who are arrogant, arrogant, glib, and free will eventually reach the same goal. They will only harm themselves. You must not get involved with them. You are a good actor. In the future, revitalize Wu The glory of the troupe depends on people like you, not them, do you know what you should do?"

Xu Jianmei nodded desperately. Ding Baigou looked at it and felt that the weight was not enough. He pointed out a clear way to Xu Jianmei:

"By the way, you just told me that Tan Shuzhen is leaving too, right? Then think about it, Xu Jianmei, after Tan Shuzhen leaves, who else will be the leading actress in this troupe? Who will play Bai Suzhen in the future? Who will play Fan? Lihua? Who can hold up this stage?"

Yes, after Tan Shuzhen leaves, who else will be in the troupe?

A leader is a leader, his level is high, and his vision is far-sighted. Why didn’t he think of this? Xu Jianmei was thinking in her heart and couldn't help but raise her eyes and looked at Ding Baigou gratefully. Ding Baigou was also looking at her. He patted Xu Jianmei's shoulder meaningfully and affectionately. Xu Jianmei was almost moved to tears.

After sending Xu Jianmei downstairs and the two of them were about to break up, Ding Baigou lowered his voice and said to Xu Jianmei:

"Don't tell anyone what you came to see me about today. It's not good for you. Do you understand?"

"I understand, Captain Ding. Goodbye, Captain Ding."

Ding Baigou returned to the office. He thought for a while, found the address book from the desk drawer, and found Tan Shuzhen's home phone number. Tan Shuzhen's father turned out to be a famous Wu Opera veteran in the province, and was later transferred to the county cultural center. , retired at the county cultural center.

Ding Baigou picked up the phone on his desk.
