Chapter 155 The Coal Boss's Dark Moonlight 23
He Hongxia returned to her hometown a few days ago and bought thirty country eggs in the countryside. She asked Zhao Pengbo to send them to Shen Xinran.
Zhao Pengbo had been waiting at the door of the art troupe for a long time. As he watched the girls from the dance troupe come out one by one, he gradually became a little impatient.
Unexpectedly, I heard Shen Xinran's cry for help. When I looked over, it was still that scumbag Wang Haitao.
Zhao Pengbo put the eggs at the guard post, picked up a stick on the ground and rushed in. "Damn it, you dare to bully my sister? I must beat you to death today."
Shen Xinran had just run two steps when she saw Zhao Pengbo, which made her a little surprised. She didn't run anymore, but stepped aside to watch the show.
Zhao Pengbo's stick fell mercilessly on Wang Haitao. Wang Haitao's "old injury" had not healed yet, and he had a new injury. For a moment, he didn't know where to cover his body.
Shen Xinran felt that it was almost time, so he walked behind Zhao Pengbo and gently advised: "That's enough, stop fighting."
Zhao Pengbo then stopped and warned Wang Haitao: "Stay away from my sister in the future, or I will beat you up every time I see you!"
He was about to turn around and leave when Wang Haitao grabbed his trouser leg and shouted, "You can't leave! You hit me, you have to pay me."
Even Shen Xinran who was standing by was stunned. How short of money must Wang Haitao be? He was still thinking about money even in this situation.
Zhao Pengbo raised his chin and said domineeringly: "I don't have any money, but I have my life. If you have the guts, beat me back."
The onlookers nearby didn't know the truth and mistakenly thought that Zhao Pengbo was bullying Wang Haitao, so they advised Wang Haitao: "If it really doesn't work, call the police and let them solve it."
But when Wang Haitao heard the word "call the police," he shook his head repeatedly and said, "You can't call the police, you can't call the police."
After Shen Xinran returned home, he told Zhou Yaoqi about this incident as if it were a joke.
She also jokingly asked, "Do you think Wang Haitao did something that shouldn't be seen by others?"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yaoqi put his arm around her waist, his eyes full of resentment, "How can you be curious about a man other than me!"
Chen Xinran rolled her eyes at Zhou Yaoqi fiercely and instantly stopped talking. Why was this old man always focusing on something so strange?
The mine would not open until after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. As soon as Zhao Pengbo arrived at the mine, he was told that Zhou Yaoqi was looking for him.
He couldn't help feeling uneasy, thinking about his recent behavior along the way. He was sure that he hadn't done anything wrong in the past two months, so why did his brother-in-law look for him?
As the saying goes, you shouldn't hit a smiling person. When he saw Zhou Yaoqi, the smile on his face almost reached his ears. "Good morning, brother-in-law!"
Zhou Yaoqi patted his shoulder gently. Zhao Pengbo was nervous for a moment, thinking he was going to be beaten again, and instinctively shrank back.
However, Zhou Yaoqi just smiled gently: "I heard that you helped Shi Qian drive away Wang Haitao in the art troupe."
Zhao Pengbo immediately understood Zhou Yaoqi's intention. He straightened his back and said seriously, "As for that kind of scoundrel, I will naturally beat him up every time I see him."
Zhou Yaoqi nodded with satisfaction, then asked, "What reward do you want?"
Zhao Pengbo smiled flatteringly, "Brother-in-law, look, everyone else in the mine gets paid a hundred, but I only get eighty."
Zhou Yaoqi pondered for a moment, then said, "Then starting from this month, your salary will also be adjusted to 100."
He paused and added, "But don't let your sister know about this."
Zhao Pengbo nodded immediately: "Don't worry, brother-in-law, I will definitely be your most steadfast protector from now on."
Zhou Yaoqi seemed to have thought of something, and then smiled: "Next time you beat Wang Haitao, I will give you ten yuan."
Zhao Pengbo's smile became even brighter, and he secretly swore that from now on, he would be his brother-in-law's most loyal lackey.
It wasn't until half a month later that Shen Xinran found out what had happened to Wang Haitao.
The matter spread like wildfire in the troupe, and no matter where she went, she could always hear her colleagues whispering about it.
"Have you heard? Wang Haitao from the drama troupe actually borrowed money from loan sharks in order to make his wedding grand." A girl whispered.
"Oh, that's just asking for trouble!" Another girl responded with a smile, "Does he think he can become rich by borrowing money?"
"I heard that he only borrowed 500 yuan at first, but he has been unable to repay it. In less than half a year, the debt has grown to 5,000 yuan!" The third girl interrupted.
"It was still Jiang Ying's parents who stepped in to use their connections, but in the end they still paid back one thousand. However, Jiang Ying seemed to use this as a bargaining chip to threaten Wang Haitao to divorce her." Someone else added.
After hearing this, Shen Xinran couldn't help but sigh inwardly. No wonder Wang Haitao was so anxious to borrow money from him. It's only been less than two weeks, and the price has already increased by two thousand. This usurious loan interest is really harmful.
As soon as she walked out of the bathroom, she was stopped by Jiang Ying. She still had that red hair and a cold look in her eyes. "Wang Haitao and I are getting a divorce. Are you satisfied?"
Shen Xinran frowned slightly, "What does your divorce have to do with me? It's not me who asked you to divorce."
Jiang Ying had tears in her eyes. She didn't understand how things could turn out like this.
Everyone said that Zhao Shiqian was the most beautiful in the art troupe. She was so angry that she wanted to snatch Zhao Shiqian's boyfriend to prove that she was not bad either.
But why did Zhao Shiqian live a better life after leaving Wang Haitao!
Jiang Ying took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Just wait and see, I won't lose to you!"
Looking at Jiang Ying's leaving back, Shen Xinran felt puzzled.
After returning to the dance studio, Teacher Fan said to her, "The director is looking for you. Please come over when you have time."
Shen Xinran nodded obediently, then walked towards the group leader's office.
As soon as Xu Yaqin saw Shen Xinran, she sighed, "Shi Qian, what do you think about the hair dyeing issue in the group?"
Shen Xinran inexplicably felt a little guilty, after all, this was a trend she had brought about.
She could only blush and whisper, "I'll dye my hair back this weekend."
Xu Yaqin nodded and said, "Okay, go back."
But when Shen Xinran reached the door, she added, "Next week a crew will come to our group to select people, you can go back and prepare."
Shen Xinran was stunned for a moment. She knew that Zhao Shiqian's opportunity had come.
Shen Xinran turned around and smiled at Xu Yaqin, "Okay, I understand."
Over the weekend, Shen Xinran took some time to dye his hair back to black.
When the old master saw this, he felt a little distressed and advised her, "Little girl, you are really beautiful with red hair."
Shen Xinran waved her hand and said, "I'm tired of red hair. I want to change it to black."
Hearing Shen Xinran say this, the old master nodded. But he almost sighed while helping Shen Xinran dye her hair.
In the past six months, he has created countless hairstyles for the girls in the art troupe, but Shen Xinran's bright red hair is undoubtedly his proudest work.
When Zhou Yaoqi came back that night, Shen Xinran was already lying on the sofa with black hair. He raised an eyebrow, "Why did you suddenly think of dyeing your hair back?"
Shen Xinran suddenly had an idea and turned to Zhou Yaoqi and asked, "Do you think I look better with black hair or red hair?"
Zhou Yaoqi replied, "Both colors look very good."
Shen Xinran persisted, "What if I force you to choose one?"
Zhou Yaoqi laughed directly, "I think you look best when you're not wearing any clothes!"
Shen Xinran was so angry that he gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart: You old pervert, I really can't compare to you, I can't compare to you at all.
