Chapter 041: Invitation from the Cultural Troupe? I just rejected it.
Kang Xiangtong, Rong Mei and Chen Chunlan knocked on Director Liao's office door.
Rong Mei quickly stepped forward and took the initiative to introduce herself to Director Liao and briefly explained the purpose of her visit.
Director Liao was only slightly surprised for a moment, then he smiled and directly invited her, "So this is Comrade Xiaorong, are you interested in joining our art troupe?"
Rong Mei also refused without hesitation.
"Director Liao, please don't. Seeing how hard the mainstay of your troupe is practicing dancing, I know I'm not cut out for it."
Director Liao laughed out loud, "That's such a pity. With your face, you would be a star in the troupe if you stood on the stage."
He is not exaggerating.
There is no one who is not good-looking if they are selected by the art troupe. Not all of them are outstanding, but they must have good looks.
As long as you have an outstanding face, you have one foot into the art troupe.
If you are like Rong Mei, who is extremely outstanding and unique in appearance, you can just enter with both feet.
As for your achievements after you step in, you have to rely on your own efforts.
Seeing Rong Mei's refusal, Director Liao did not force her.
With a smile, he asked, "What instrument do you want to borrow?"
The two of them became closer after just a few words.
Rong Mei also answered readily, "Any one of the three instruments, piano, cello, or violin, will do. I'll borrow whatever you have."
Since you have chosen to perform, you must choose what you are best at.
As long as she can stay in her comfort zone, there is no need for her to jump out and seek excitement by playing an instrument she is not good at.
Director Liao glanced over and couldn't help but look at Rong Mei twice more, "Oh? From the tone of Comrade Rong, does it mean that she can do all three?"
Rong Mei did not hide it, "A little bit, a little bit."
However, he remained humble and stopped boasting.
Director Liao touched his chin, as if thinking about something, after a while.
"I see. Excuse me, we don't have any of the three things you mentioned."
The smile on Rong Mei's face froze instantly.
Full of black lines.
Director Liao then said frankly, "It's like this, Comrade Xiaorong, it's not that we don't have the three things you mentioned, it's that the resources you want are scarce. Our art troupe established a symphony orchestra only two years ago, and it just so happens that it's the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, so the bands in the troupe have to go out to participate in consolation performances, and the instruments must follow the musicians."
Without her comfort zone, Rong Mei was helpless but had no choice but to accept it.
Do I have to ask others to lend it to me?
In fact, before coming here, she was only 50% sure that she could borrow these three items.
How could she, who had learned this since elementary school, not know how expensive symphony instruments are, and that maintaining them requires more attention to detail than raising a child.
Since I was mentally prepared, I didn't feel disappointed at all.
I smiled and was just about to borrow some money as a second choice.
Kang Xiangtong, who had been standing nearby and hadn't said a word since she came in, spoke.
"I have a violin at home. If you want it, I'll bring it to you when I go home this weekend. I just don't know if you'll make it in time."
Rong Mei looked up at Kang Xiangtong in surprise.
"I'm so sorry, your family doesn't use it?"
After all, this thing is not cheap for families of this era, even the most ordinary entry-level one.
She and Kang Xiangtong had just met, and she was asking someone to borrow something valuable. Even someone as shameless as her would feel a little embarrassed at this moment.
Of course, from this we can also conclude that Kang Xiangtong's family is not an ordinary family, and it would cost a lot of money to learn this stuff.
Kang Xiangtong shook her head. "No need. It's almost covered with dust. Only my brother suddenly wanted to learn it and even asked my second uncle to buy it for him in Hong Kong. But he gave it up after just two days."
Rong Mei didn't pretend to be polite and thanked him in advance, "Thank you very much, I'll have to trouble you to take me there."
Kang Xiangtong seemed to have thought of something, and an idea came to her mind. "Why don't you go home with me on the weekend?"
After saying that, she blinked her big watery eyes, waiting for the answer with anticipation.
What can Rong Mei do?
Of course I nodded and said yes.
Seeing that Rong Mei agreed, Kang Xiangtong took Rong Mei's arm with a look of joy.
"Come on, do you want to go back now? I'll walk you to the door so you don't get lost later."
"Aren't you here to see Director Liao too?" Rong Mei looked at her suspiciously, then at Director Liao.
Kang Xiangtong patted her head in annoyance, "Oh, look at my memory, I would have forgotten it if you hadn't reminded me."
After saying that, without letting go of Rong Mei's arm, he smiled and said to Director Liao, "Uncle, my mother asked you to come to our house for dinner this weekend."
Rong Mei:......
So they are uncle and nephew.
She asked why Kang Xiangtong was able to stay here for so long and was not asked to leave.
Moreover, Director Liao was so easy-going towards her as soon as she arrived.
Director Liao clenched his fist and coughed, criticizing Kang Xiangtong seriously, "Got it, I'll ask you to call me Director when you see me in the group on weekdays, and this won't happen again."
Kang Xiangtong stuck out her tongue, "Got it, Director Liao, we can go now."
"Let's go, let's go." Director Liao raised his hand and waved it in the air.
"Thank you for troubling Director Liao today. We will leave first." Rong Mei said goodbye to Director Liao.
Director Liao chuckled, "Hey, Xiaorong, take care. If you change your mind, the door of our art troupe is always open to you."
It was not until she walked out of the office that Chen Chunlan felt she had finally caught her breath.
She was so nervous in that room just now that she didn't dare to breathe.
Leader, that’s the leader of the art troupe.
Faced with the invitation from the leader of the art troupe, Rong Mei refused without giving any face.
She still feels sorry for Rong Mei.
He persuaded her softly, "Sister, why don't you reconsider this? This is a job given to you by the art troupe. It's such a good job. Look at how Shi Jing is in the courtyard. She doesn't even look at people. If you come, won't she be mad to death?"
Rong Mei's eyelids twitched, and she raised her hand and placed it on Chen Chunlan's shoulder.
He suddenly felt playful and said to Chen Chunlan in a serious tone, "Sister Chunlan, didn't you see how badly that leg was broken when you came in just now? If I become useless after I come in, will Deputy Commander Zhou still want me?
Moreover, the art troupe has rules, that is, new female soldiers cannot come and go freely like Shi Jing before they are promoted, and they have to stay here all the time. After I have survived the recruit period in there, who knows whether Deputy Captain Zhou can survive outside, right?
Once a man starts to have sex, he will... Don't you think this is the truth?"
Chen Chunlan, who had given birth to four children, turned red in the face when Rong Mei said that.
He stumbled, "Well, then, since, since that's the case, I'd better reject it. This marriage is important..."
