Chapter 198
Although it is difficult to buy tickets for Boss Yuan, the Bailang Society, which is a servile group, can still get some. At this time, 123 bosses are sitting in the theater, waiting for the legendary Boss Yuan to start the show.
It was the time of the Master, and the theater was bustling with people greeting each other and coming and going. A child selling cigarettes walked around with a cigarette box hanging on his shoulder, calling out, "Buy melon seeds, peanuts, and cigarettes!"
The second brother ate melon seeds and glanced around. When he saw someone, he lowered his voice and gossiped with the other two: "Those people who just came upstairs seem to be Director XX's wife. And wow, isn't this the accountant from the Finance Bureau office who came in? Are they all here to listen to the opera?"
"What's so good about that humming and humming?" The leader of the Bailang Society was obviously not the type to listen to opera. He would rather go to Chunman Garden to listen to the girls sing.
"No, no, only some of these people are here to listen to the opera. After all, he spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to make himself famous. Those who love to listen to opera will definitely come to listen to what it has to offer. The rest of them have the same purpose as the three of us brothers, they are here to see the person who pays them. Who in this world doesn't need money? With someone so generous, they all want to make a name for themselves and make some money. This Boss Yuan is the breakthrough point."
"It doesn't matter whether Mr. Yuan sings well or not, or whether his singing skills are up to par or not. What matters is that someone is spending money to support him, and he is unstoppable. Which actress or prostitute doesn't want a sponsor who will pay the final dividends?" What the third brother said was unpleasant but true, and no one would oppose his point of view.
"I wonder if that boss is here?" The second brother asked, looking up at the private room in the middle of the second floor. "I heard that whenever this boss Yuan performs on stage, the private room upstairs will be booked out for a large sum of money. I just don't know if that boss is in there."
The curtains were drawn, making it impossible to tell if anyone was inside. The second brother averted his gaze and grumbled, "Why are you being so secretive? No one has even seen this person's face."
"It's normal for rich people to have some special hobbies. Maybe there's a tigress in the house who is strict with him, so he can only support the actors secretly." Of course, these two people were joking. No one knew, but their guess was not far off. There was no tigress, but there was indeed a woman who was in charge of him above Lu Daju.
Rong Zhou does not allow Lu Daju to show up and cause trouble. If he disobeys, he will turn him into a cat and tie him up with a rope. For the sake of freedom, Lu Daju can only swallow his anger, come and go secretly. Except for the two people he rescued, no one knows what the mysterious boss Lu looks like?
Seeing that most of the people in the theater had entered, the runner struck the gong back and forth a few times, and the theater quieted down, and the show began.
Today's opera is "The Palace of Eternal Life". As soon as Boss Yuan, who plays the role of Yang Guifei, comes on stage, Yang Guifei is dignified and majestic yet charming. This classical beauty is so perfect that the people in the audience keep cheering.
The three leaders of the Bailang Society, who weren't big fans of the show, were stunned. The second one couldn't help but mutter, "Holy shit, is this a man? This is much more charming than the peach-red osmanthus flowers in the spring garden."
The eldest and third brothers sitting at his table heard it all: "No wonder he was praised for his skills and became famous all of a sudden. If he didn't have any special skills, there wouldn't be so many people buying into him."
"Rich people still know how to have fun." The boss picked up the tea and drank it in one gulp to relieve his dry mouth. The beauty of a beauty is a kind of charm. She wore such thick makeup and such heavy clothes. She had no curves and no coquettishness. In the eyes of the people on the stage, she was a beauty, a great beauty that could topple a country.
Everyone in the audience was listening with fascination and admiring the stunningly beautiful Yang Guifei when the door of the theater was suddenly kicked open and a group of soldiers in helmets armed with guns rushed in.
The entire theater hall was filled with screams, even the three people sitting in the corner were startled and almost ran away, thinking that someone was setting a trap for them today. Who knew that the person who came in was not targeting them at all, but walked straight towards the people on the stage.
Almost everyone in Jiangcheng knows this man, Ergouzi, the captain of the dog-legged team. He used to be a small gangster, but somehow he got to the mayor's thigh. After becoming the captain of the dog-legged team, he was doing very well and was flattered by the mayor all the time.
"Hey, they're singing, keep singing." Ergouzi, who was holding a tortoise box in his hand, laughed sarcastically at Yuan Caidie on the stage.
With a gun pointed at him, Yuan Caidie had no way of singing any more. He took a step forward and was about to speak when he was blocked by the old actor who was acting with him. He was dressed as a female role now, and if he spoke in a male voice on the stage, he would be finished.
At this time, the troupe owner also came out from the backstage to greet him. No matter how grim his face was, he had to smile and agree: "What brought the captain here? If you had just said hello earlier, I would have reserved a seat for the captain. Why bother so many brothers?"
"Don't try to play tricks on me. I told you a few days ago that Mayor Li invited Boss Yuan to his house for a chat, some singing, some conversation, etc. Isn't that a disrespect? I'm the one who has to trouble you to come out and invite him personally. The mayor has an important guest at his house today, so you have to go whether you want to or not."
"Sir, Captain, our boss Yuan wasn't feeling well the past couple of days. We have to perform today, right? After the show, we'll..."
"Sing, sing for nothing! Go and bring the person out to me. Follow me now. Today's guest is from Sakura. Even the mayor is respectful to him. If I let you sing a play, your reputation will be even greater than it is now. How can you refuse such a good thing?"
"Mr. Chi Bian really appreciates our traditional culture and is full of praise for drama. He lets you sing because he is giving you honor. Go there and perform well." As the captain of the Ergou team, he led people to the stage while speaking.
"Captain, Captain, you..." The class owner who had just said a few words was pushed down and hit the chair next to him.
The scene was in chaos. The audience had already moved to the sides. Even if they sympathized with Boss Yuan, no one dared to take action. These lackeys were usually lawless and no one dared to mess with them.
These people came up to pull people, and people from the troupe also rushed up from the backstage to the stage, blocking Yuan Caidie in front. The two groups of people shouted, pushed and shoved, and were about to fight.
With a loud bang, Ergouzi fired a shot from the box in his hand at the roof. The scene suddenly became quiet, and he pointed the gun at Yuan Caidie who was behind the crowd.
"Are you going to leave or not? If not, I'm going to shoot everyone in your troupe." As he said this, he moved the gun to the young actors in the troupe. Although it was impossible to kill people casually, it would not be a big deal as long as no one died by shooting them in the arms or thighs.
"No! I'll go with you."
"Why didn't you say so earlier? Why make things so unpleasant?" Er Gouzi pretended to put away the turtle box and said, "It's just a performance. Mr. Chibian likes our traditional culture the most."
