At 7:00 AM on November 22nd, the Pacific Company Art Troupe departed from Guangzhou.
This art troupe has a total of 31 people, including the performers and leaders.
Their destination was Haikou.
Although flying is relatively expensive, it's only a little over 1,200 kilometers from Guangzhou to Haikou. Even if everyone flies, it would only cost a little over 1,000 yuan. With baggage included, the airfare would be around 3,000 to 4,000 yuan.
So Liu Wen decided to take a plane and let all the employees experience something foreign.
At that time, many people in the art troupe had never been on a plane before, and they would beam with joy at the mere mention of flying.
The art troupe boarded the plane at around 9 a.m., and after a flight of more than an hour from Guangzhou, they landed at Haikou Airport at 11 a.m.
Liu Wen had already arranged accommodations here in advance.
After leaving the airport, the hired bus took the Pacific Arts Troupe to downtown Haikou.
This is Liang Liang's first time in Haikou. In his previous life, he had only been to Hainan once, in 2010.
The Haikou of 1993 was completely different from the Haikou he saw more than a decade later.
More than a decade later, Haikou is filled with high-rise buildings and bustling streets.
At that time, Haikou was filled with dilapidated buildings and dirty streets, and there were hardly any traffic lights.
It's like night and day.
More than half an hour later, the bus took them to a place called AEON Mall.
By 1993 standards, the AEON Building was still acceptable.
But in Liang Liang's eyes, this was a building that should be demolished.
Despite the lack of infrastructure in Haikou at that time, its entertainment industry was thriving, and it wouldn't be surprising if it were the best in the country.
The streets were lined with dance halls, and Liang Liang actually saw more than a dozen dance halls with various signs hanging up along this stretch of road.
Even if a nightclub only needs two singers to perform, it still requires hundreds of singers.
Therefore, Haikou attracted a large number of popular singers during this period, so how could the entertainment industry not be developed?
A large number of outstanding musicians live in the Yongwang Building in Daoke Village on Longkun South Road.
Otherwise, Liu Wen wouldn't have chosen this place for them to stay.
The place has a strong artistic atmosphere.
Perhaps because their hired bus had a banner with the Yangcheng Pacific Art Troupe on it, countless heads popped out of the building when their bus drove up to it.
During this time, the dance halls are all closed, and these singers and musicians are resting at their residences.
"Holy crap! The entire Pacific Ocean is here."
"They came in groups; Haikou is really lively this time."
Among the windows with people sticking their heads out, a young man in his twenties also peeked downstairs before returning to his desk to continue writing.
The members of the art troupe got off the bus one after another and looked around at this unfamiliar place.
Liang Liang didn't look at the scenery around her, but instead watched as the bridal sedan chair followed Liu Wen like a shadow from the moment they got off the plane and onto the bus. The bridal sedan chair kept talking to Liu Wen, leaving Liu Wen with a helpless expression.
When Liu Wenxin was exhausted, he turned around and saw Liang Liang looking at them with a half-smile.
"Xiao Liang! Come here!"
Liang Liang came running over excitedly: "Commander! You called me?"
"What kind of bewitching potion did you give this silly boy that made him pester me all the way here?"
"Trying to seduce me? No, I didn't!"
"Who said you really did fall for him? He said you have a song that really hits him right now."
When Liu Wen uttered the word "zeilala," Liang Liang burst out laughing.
This word is inherently unsuitable for Southerners to use.
"Tell me, what song did you sing that made him so infatuated?"
"Commander! Now doesn't seem like the time to discuss work, does it? It's already noon, and after all that travel by plane and bus, we've probably lost all the food we had. I think it's more practical to discuss food now."
"Eat, eat, eat! All you know is how to eat. The rooms have all been arranged for you. See those two waiters? They will take you to your respective rooms. After you've settled into your rooms, we'll meet downstairs for dinner."
After a flurry of activity, the art troupe's rooms were finally settled, a total of eight rooms, with four people in each room.
This is a pretty good condition; it's much better than seven or eight people crammed into one room.
It seems that Pacific Company still has considerable strength.
Liang Liang naturally lived with the band members, while Xiao Yu had to share a room with other actresses in the art troupe.
Once the rooms were arranged, the equipment brought with the group was also placed in suitable locations.
Next, the members of the art troupe will gather downstairs to have lunch.
In a small restaurant outside the Aeon Mall, the art troupe occupied four tables.
When Liang Liang saw the bridal sedan chair, he went to Liu Wen's table again to cause trouble.
Seeing Liu Wensheng's dejected expression, Liang Liang chuckled.
Besides the five members of Liang Liang's band, there were three other people from the art troupe at Liang Liang's table: Shan Gou Gou and Ge Anping, as well as a male singer whom Liang Liang did not recognize.
"Xiao Liang! We're actually from the same hometown." The one who said this was naturally from Shan Gou Gou. Whether in his previous life or this one, this was the first time Liang Liang had any interaction with Shan Gou Gou.
“I know you’re from Shenyang, Sister Na. We really are from the same hometown.”
"Hey folks! Tonight, I'll show you the sights of Haikou's nightclubs. I have a friend who used to perform there."
Tonight is free time for the art troupe. Members are free to move around as long as they ensure their own safety.
Despite her seemingly carefree and silly exterior, Shan Gou Gou is actually a very shrewd person. She won't teach anyone who has no use to her.
The reason they're trying to win over Liang Liang now is simply because he can write songs.
"I'm sorry, Sister Na, I've never been on a plane before. I think I'm getting airsick. I'm going to rest and I don't want to go anywhere."
Liang Liang had no interest in associating with such a pragmatic person.
You seem to be fine.
"I'm not too dizzy, just a little nauseous. I'm worried it might get worse at any time. This is my first time experiencing airsickness, so I don't have much experience."
Liang Liang had little experience with motion sickness, and neither did Shangougou.
Since she hadn't fainted, she didn't delve any deeper into the topic and instead changed the subject.
The matter was simply glossed over.
Although Liang Liang declined the invitation from the mountain village woman to take him to a nightclub that evening, he still chatted and laughed with her during dinner.
This kind of person doesn't want to befriend you, but there's no need to offend them either. Say what needs to be said and laugh what needs to be laughed.
Since he said he was airsick, he should naturally go back to his room to rest after dinner, even if it was just for show.
But before Liang Liang could return to her room, Liu Wen called her to her room.
