Chapter 471: Good Food is Never Too Late
"Master Xu Ziwen, you said... we don't need to be so polite to each other."
"That..." Xu Ziwen was a little embarrassed to speak. He was an elderly man who had never been exposed to electronic devices and had old-fashioned ideas. If it weren't for Lin Yilan, a noble person who showed up to help him, the theater he had been holding on to would have ended long ago...
He thought for a moment and said, "Can I use your platform to recruit some apprentices? While I'm still young, I can still carry on this legacy in my heart during my lifetime... Is that okay?"
"Of course!" Lin Yilan agreed without hesitation.
This is a good thing! She had wanted to mention this to Master Xu Ziwen a long time ago, but she didn't expect him to bring it up today.
Lin Yilan happily handed the phone to Xu Ziwen, "Master Xu, please record the video of recruiting students yourself. However, I also have a request." She blinked mischievously, thinking in her heart: "Hey, can you agree to this as well?"
"You say."
"Take Huo Juncheng in as well! Let him be your first closed disciple." Her little brain was quite clever. Huo Juncheng's good looks would attract a legion of student fans; otherwise, Master Xu Ziwen's theatrical legacy wouldn't continue. She had deliberately shown Huo Juncheng a brief moment, not only advertising her milk tea shop but also, implicitly and explicitly, Master Xu Ziwen.
It makes me happy just thinking about it.
Xu Ziwen wasn't too familiar with Huo Juncheng, but he knew he was Lin Yilan's future husband. He looked at the man and hesitated for a few seconds: "This..." Taking a disciple requires the consent of both parties. Seeing Huo Juncheng's fierce attitude, he was a little bit tempted to refuse Lin Yilan: "I don't mind taking him in, but I have to ask him if he's willing, right?"
"Yes, yes! He's definitely willing!"
Huo Juncheng: "..."
As Lin Yilan spoke, she approached Huo Juncheng and asked him to become her apprentice! Huo Juncheng had so many things to deal with every day, how could he have the time to learn Peking Opera from him? He glanced at Lin Yilan in confusion, not knowing what she was up to. He stood there, so tall, and Lin Yilan pulled him as easily as if he were pulling a chicken.
"Lin Yilan, what are you doing?" Who allowed her to make her own decisions? "I don't want to be your disciple!"
Lin Yilan said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "You should respect other people's dreams. If you listen to me, grandma will be very happy too."
"I'm busy." He refused flatly.
"Are you free?" Huo Juncheng was about to leave, but Lin Yilan suddenly pulled him back. She turned to Xu Ziwen and smiled narrowed her eyes. "Master Xu, I'm not really asking you to accept him as your disciple. I just want you to accept him as a formal disciple to attract more students. Normally, have Huo Juncheng go to the theater on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th."
How could such an arrogant person like Xu Ziwen accept such conditions? "No need. I think you have to love Peking Opera before you can learn it well. If someone comes just for Mr. Huo's face, I won't recruit him." He used Lin Yilan's mobile phone to shoot a recruitment video, thanked Lin Yilan for her kindness, and returned to his post to continue selling milk tea.
Lin Yilan had already guessed this result, sighed, and did not participate.
For several days in a row, most of the people who went to Xu Zi to ask about theater matters were girls, and they all came for Huo Juncheng.
Xu Ziwen's originally passionate heart was instantly disappointed.
These days...are there really so few people who truly love drama?
He asked Wang Yimo to watch over the theater while he ran between the theater and the milk tea shop all day.
The last person who came for consultation was a girl wearing glasses. She looked very honest and the type that didn’t need makeup... Wang Yimo didn’t want to hire the girl the first time she saw her. She thought the girl also came for Huo Juncheng, so she picked up the documents and wanted to leave, but she was shocked by the girl’s voice.
"We are no longer recruiting students. Please go back."
"Not recruiting anymore? Am I too late? Teacher, I really like Peking Opera, but I don't have much money. Can I stay here and work for you? I can work and earn tuition while learning from you?" The girl's voice was like the chirping of an oriole, and she was very stunning as soon as she opened her mouth.
Wang Yimo suddenly became interested and turned around to look at the child in front of him carefully: "Sing a song?"
"no problem!"
The girl immediately began to sing one of the most difficult parts of the play, with every line having its own twists and turns, making it a never-ending song. Wang Yimo excitedly called Xu Ziwen and had the girl sing it again over the phone. After the girl finished, Xu Ziwen rushed back to the theater in delight.
He knows that good things are never too late! Good things are always coming.
Seeing Xu Ziwen rushing to the theater, Lin Yilan asked, "Master Xu, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
"I've found a good apprentice! I'll go home and take her in now."
"It's been three whole days, and you only received one?"
Xu Ziwen's expression was no longer as gloomy as before: "That's right, more soldiers are worse than better soldiers! If one can be worth ten, I will be content with just one disciple!"
Hearing him say this, Lin Yilan also became interested. She pulled Huo Juncheng aside and said, "Let's go and take a look too?"
Huo Juncheng put down the stock market analysis chart in his hand and nodded in agreement.
After arriving at the theater, several people were attracted by the girl in front of them: "Oh my god, this... singing is so beautiful!" Lin Yilan couldn't help but sigh: "There are always people better than you, and there are always better things than you!"
Xu Ziwen looked at his disciple with great satisfaction: "What's your name?"
"Hello, teacher. My name is Xi Lulu."
"Xi Lulu." Xu Ziwen nodded repeatedly to show his goodwill, and patted the girl's shoulder with satisfaction: "I won't charge a penny for your tuition, and you don't have to work for us to compensate! Your talent is worth so much money." After praising Xi Lulu, he turned and whispered to Lin Yilan: "Did you hear that? She is like a second you."
"Teacher, you're too kind!" She knew her own worth. Compared to this person, she was nothing.
Lin Yilan pressed her body against Huo Juncheng's, looking at the scene in front of her with envy: "I don't know what's going on, I feel like crying."
A person with a dream recognized another person with a dream... This scene really made people's blood boil.
Huo Juncheng pressed her forehead hard with his hand: "Your tear glands are really unpredictable. When I was so nice to you before, why didn't I see you wanting to cry?"
"What the hell is that?!"
"Are you talking about me?" Huo Juncheng said seriously, "I've never treated any woman this well in my life! It's beyond the limit."
