Chapter 198 Going to the Theater Together
Chu Siran was a little panicked at the beginning, but the more Lin Yilan spoke, the more he felt something was wrong. In the end, he clearly sensed a hint of mockery in Lin Yilan's tone.
"Alright, alright, stop kidding me. I know I was wrong, and I'm really serious about our milk tea shop and this business. Let's just let the past go and stop thinking about it."
Lin Yilan was just joking with Chu Siran, and didn't take it seriously. Even if Chu Siran was really impulsive at first, so what? Everyone has impulsive moments. But Chu Siran was able to persevere, and that was what made her different from others.
"Forget it, I'm not kidding you anymore. Let's just think about how to explain it to Mo Yanran. Huo Juncheng is probably hopeless. How about we talk to Mo Yanran and ask her to change the terms?"
Hearing Lin Yilan suddenly mention Mo Yanran, Chu Siran patted Lin Yilan's head and said, "Although I was indeed tempted by Mo Yanran's conditions at first, it was indeed a bit unreliable. It turns out that it is really unreliable now. Forget it, I will think of a solution. You don't have to worry."
"So what do you want to do? Is there anything I can help you with?"
"I haven't made up my mind yet. Why not just use her endorsement fee? If she doesn't agree, it's the same if I sign a contract with someone else. It doesn't have to be her."
"That's true, but wasn't she the one who wrote the plaque? If you hire someone else to be the spokesperson, it's bound to cause gossip. Maybe it could even backfire if you're not careful. After all, you said you and Mo Yanran were just friends back then. Now you're hiring someone else as the spokesperson, so it's inevitable..."
Listening to Lin Yilan's well-reasoned analysis, Chu Siran's smiling face had long disappeared without a trace, and she looked at Lin Yilan quietly.
Lin Yilan wanted to say something more, but she couldn't stand Chu Siran's gaze, which was too hot. "Siran, why are you looking at me like that? Is what I said wrong? Even if it's wrong, you don't have to look at me like that."
Chu Siran shook his head when he heard Lin Yilan say this. "Of course I agree with your opinion. I just didn't expect you to be able to analyze these things now. You used to refuse even when I asked you to take a look at the bills in our store."
"What?" Lin Yilan felt a little embarrassed by Chu Siran's teasing. "Well, I can't just not help you with everything. Besides, I think I really need to learn about business when I have time. Although I'm definitely not as good as you, I definitely can't let Huo Juncheng look down on me!"
Facing Lin Yilan's confident look, Chu Siran nodded heavily at her, "Okay, I support you."
Originally, the two wanted to go out and play together in the afternoon, but Lin Yilan received a call from Xu Ziwen, asking her why she didn't go to the theater for training this morning.
Lin Yilan only then remembered that there was such a thing as training, because she had woken up so late that morning that she had almost forgotten everything. She thought that after a proper apology to Xu Ziwen, the matter would be over.
As a result, Xu Ziwen told her that she must not miss any training and must train every day. When Lin Yilan heard Xu Ziwen say this, she no longer had any doubts. It was her fault in the first place. Since Xu Ziwen said that he would wait for her to come in the afternoon, Lin Yilan naturally agreed.
But her and Chu Siran’s plan to go out and play together was ruined.
After she finished talking to Chu Siran about this, Chu Siran insisted on going with her, saying that it would be boring to go alone. Since Lin Yilan was going to perform, then he might as well take her with him.
Lin Yilan thought it was not impossible, and she was really troubled by the arrogant Ah Zhu. If Chu Siran went with her, she could just complain to Chu Siran.
Of course, before the two of them arrived at the theater, Lin Yilan couldn't help but talk to Chu Siran about Azhu. Chu Siran twitched his lips when he heard Lin Yilan's complaining tone.
"I really didn't expect that you would meet such a person even when you became my apprentice. I thought Chu Xi was the most shameless person you'd ever met, but I didn't expect you would actually meet such a piece of shit."
Lin Yilan laughed when she heard Chu Siran describe Ah Zhu like this. "That nickname you gave me is really nice. I didn't expect you to have such a skill. It's really amazing. Although she is a little bit unbelievable to me, I think she is okay compared to Chu Xi. At the very least, she only treated me maliciously because she likes Xu Ziwen."
"What do you know? You're just too kind. Didn't Chu Xi scheme against you in every way because she liked Huo Juncheng? Even though there's no hope for her with Huo Juncheng now, she's still not quiet after climbing the Li family's giant tree. The Ah Zhu you mentioned is actually pretty much the same as Chu Xi."
Chu Siran paused for a moment when he spoke here. At this moment, the two of them had already reached the door of the theater, but neither of them was in a hurry to go down. Then, Chu Siran spoke again:
"The only difference is that Ah Zhu only sees you as an imaginary enemy. You might think that Ah Zhu acts outwardly as she thinks, which is much more transparent than Chu Xi's behind-the-scenes tactics. But in fact, it's quite the opposite. Ah Zhu's actions clearly show that she's a bit of a screw loose. If Xu Ziwen had seen her doing this, she would have been expelled from the sect long ago."
Lin Yilan listened to Chu Siran's analysis and couldn't help but be impressed by Chu Siran's rational judgment. Azhu repeatedly made trouble for Lin Yilan, but the main reason why Lin Yilan didn't get angry was because of Azhu's cheerful personality.
Lin Yilan felt that Azhu had a bad temper, but she said whatever she thought, which proved that she was still a relatively good person.
But now after hearing Chu Siran say this, she realized that she had been wrong all along.
There was a performance at the theater today, so the backstage was busier than usual. On their way to find Xu Ziwen, Lin Yilan and Chu Siran almost bumped into several people. Fortunately, people who studied opera were more light and agile, so they avoided collisions again and again.
Xu Ziwen once again asked Lin Yilan to wait for him in his small tea shed. Lin Yilan brought Chu Siran to the shed without any hesitation and poured a cup of tea for Chu Siran. "Let me tell you, the tea here at Xu Ziwen is really delicious. Although I don't know what it is, I just feel that it is different from other places."
"You don't consider yourself an outsider at all." Chu Siran took the tea handed to him by Lin Yilan and couldn't help but tease.
"I'm his disciple now, I'm not an outsider."
"Even if you're my apprentice, you can't act so recklessly in my teahouse, right?"
Lin Yilan looked in the direction of the voice and saw Xu Ziwen approaching. Facing Xu Ziwen's hearty laughter, Lin Yilan scratched her head awkwardly.
