"No leave. You just got here and you're asking for leave? I don't know what you're thinking. Hurry up and get to work. Get ready. Next Monday, you and Dong Xiaoming will go to the countryside with Group 3 to give a performance."
This was also the reason why Cao Jialin came to find Guan Jibai, but he didn't expect to meet her playing the pipa.
"The competition in the song and dance troupe is fierce, and it's facing reform. Everyone wants to be treated as two people. But you actually want to ask for leave." Cao Jialin didn't know how to criticize her.
"Teacher Cao, the reform you mentioned requires actors to go out and contact businesses and take jobs themselves?" Guan Jibai was very clear about this, after all, the original owner had experienced it in his previous life.
Speaking of reform, it is not just the song and dance troupe that is affected, other art and cultural units are the same.
Now that society is changing so much and the country is encouraging economic development, even state-owned factories with iron rice bowls have suffered a huge impact, and the entire Beijing song and dance troupe is no exception.
"Yes!" Cao Jialin did not hide it.
"There were rumors in the summer that every employee would have tasks from now on, and their salary would be tied to their performance. Those who didn't get their work done would get paid less, but those with great abilities wouldn't be restricted by the company. It didn't matter if you were performing for a big boss, trying to get on the air with a TV station or radio station, or even releasing your own music, as long as you could make money, you were a good cat."
Guan Jibai knew all of this, and even many people in the unit developed well because of it. Some even became household names and would later become senior figures in the entertainment industry.
However, the original owner failed to seize the opportunity in his previous life and was severely swept away by the wave of development, and his situation became increasingly worrying.
"Then I can come whenever I want and ask for leave whenever I want in the future, right? For example, I have a private performance tomorrow, so I can't come... huh?" Guan Jibai blinked mischievously, looking cute and adorable like a fluffy baby.
No matter how sarcastic Cao Jialin was, he couldn't continue to argue with others for a while.
He had noticed that this newcomer was completely different from the legend he'd been told. Not only was he intelligent and outgoing, but he was also incredibly thick-skinned.
If it were any other girl of the same age, she would never dare to bargain with him like this.
"It's not as good as you think. Do you really think you can come whenever you want and not come at all? The city has mandatory performance tasks every year." Cao Jialin said sarcastically, then slowed down his tone and asked, "Do you have any connections?"
"Team leader, I want to act, to be an actor." Guan Jibai gave a heads-up so that it would be easier to ask for leave in the future. "If I become an actor and appear on TV, it will bring honor to our song and dance troupe!"
There are others who can perform! In a large group like this, whoever performs the worst gets to do the most dirty work.
For example, the original owner and his mother in the previous life.
"You? You still want to be an actor? Have you ever learned it? You should just focus on playing your pipa."
After saying this, he ignored Guan Jibai who was still unwilling to give up and walked away with his hands behind his back.
"Hey! Wait, don't go! How should our Group 5 be reformed? You haven't told me yet!" Not only did Guan Jibai fail to get leave, he was also despised for being an actor.
Don't bully people like this.

Friendship Building——
Jiang Dafeng and Lao Li, together with the newly written script, hesitated for a long time and finally came to the top floor from the 13th floor.
"Teacher Jiang, please come in. Mr. Yan has made time."
"Thank you!" Jiang Dafeng's expression was serious and he seemed meticulous.
Old Li also remained silent.
The two have spent half their lives in the arts, taking a down-to-earth approach. Their creative work, television productions, and overseas studies were all arranged by their work units. They were considered part of the system, but this time, if they wanted to make a film and have complete autonomy, they had to go it alone.
