"Sister Zixi is in the boss's office."
Upon hearing this, Luo Jiu thanked him and headed towards the boss's office.
"You know what happened last night. Dilomen has suffered heavy losses because of this; not only are the decorations completely destroyed, but they've also lost most of their customers. So..."
As Luo Jiu walked to the door, she heard two people talking inside.
"The original schedule of four performances per month might be extended. As the top performers at Dilemen, you and Luo Jiu might also be performing at banquets hosted by some aristocratic families. And..."
Luo Jiu pursed her lips, unable to listen any longer. What kind of unfair terms were these? She went in without knocking.
As soon as she entered, Luo Jiu smiled brightly and cheerfully. She greeted him affectionately, "Hello, boss."
The owner of Dilemen is named Zheng Duo. He is only in his thirties. His black hair is neatly plastered to his forehead, and he wears a well-tailored suit. His eyes gleam with a hint of light, making him a quintessential businessman.
Seeing Luo Jiu barge in like this, he didn't scold her, but said calmly, "Little Jiu is here."
Shi Zixi, who had been keeping her lips tightly closed, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Luo Jiu enter. She whispered, "Just now..." She had already come to regard Luo Jiu as her pillar of support.
"I unfortunately heard everything."
Luo Jiu smiled faintly at the boss and then said, "I can accept commercial performances outside of work."
Dilomen is like a second home to me, and I'm always grateful to the owner for his support. However, I think four shows a month is the most I can do.
The boss wants quick money, but has he ever thought that if our performances are all the same and lack any new ideas, which customer will still be willing to come?
Does the boss know what "scarcity increases value" means?
That makes a lot of sense. Men tend to want what they can't have the most, and if they see it every day, they'll eventually get tired of it.
But... I always feel that Luo Jiu is a little different.
She's clearly just a woman from a humble family, and she only attended school for two years, yet she sees things so clearly. She's truly remarkable.
Zheng Duo stared at Luo Jiu, his inner thoughts already taking many unexpected turns.
After a moment, he smiled and said, "Xiao Jiu is right. Since you two are unwilling, we won't force you. This is also a good opportunity for Dilemen to renovate. You two can rest at home for a while."
Once the Dilemen store is renovated, you will still be the most dazzling ladies in Shanghai.
Zheng Duo smiled gently. Some people have this ability: no matter when or what they do, they always have a smile on their face. They are complete smiling tigers.
"Thank you, boss."
Luo Jiu smiled and nodded, then pulled Shi Zixi away from the office.
Luo Jiu's place is just one street away from the dance hall. She rents it with Shi Zixi.
"Lolo, thank goodness you were here. Otherwise, I would have been ripped off by the boss. If I got ripped off, you might have gotten ripped off too."
Shi Zixi held Luo Jiu's hand and smiled.
"Hey, who was ignoring me yesterday, and now they're all praising me?" Luo Jiu teased her with a smile.
"Who told you to make fun of me yesterday? You still have the nerve to say that. By the way, where did you go last night? You didn't come back all night?" Shi Zixi asked curiously, her round almond-shaped eyes full of scrutiny.
"Don't even mention it! You had no idea..."
Luo Jiu told Shi Zixi everything that had happened the night before.
