Xiaoqi stood in front of the sofa, waving her "fairy wand" around: "That's how I do it, swish, they all fall down!"
"He tried to capture me, huh? I, Xiao Qi, am a fairy! I know magic!"
"Under the thunderous force, they convulsed all over, 'Ah-le-le!'" Xiao Qi stuck out her tongue, rolled her eyes, and made strange noises, imitating the reactions of those people after being electrocuted.
Han Chengda, Han Rou, Han Chengshan, Han Chengsi, Han Chengwu, and Han Chengliu sat in a row on the sofa, watching their little sister's lively performance.
Han Chengda clapped his hands loudly: "It's such a waste of your talent that you're not studying acting!"
Han Rou covered her mouth and chuckled: "Xiao Qi is really amazing. She wasn't scared at all, remained calm in the face of danger, and even managed to save herself."
Han Chengshan gave a thumbs up: "As expected of my sister, Han Chengshan's sister, amazing!"
Han Chengsi pushed up his glasses, which he wore to look cool without lenses, and said, "I've already taken a picture of you sticking out your tongue and rolling your eyes. When you grow up and get married, I'll provide the footage to show our relatives and friends."
Han Chengwu's eyes widened: "Why do you have a magic wand! Why don't I have one! No, I have to ask Grandpa for one!"
Han Chengliu glared at her fourth brother: "You dare! If you embarrass my sister, I'll make you embarrass too!"
Han Fei was about to leave when Han Chengwu blocked his way, shouting, "Grandpa is biased! Xiao Qi has a magic wand, why don't I have one!"
Han Fei's lips twitched: "What do you, a boy, need a magic wand for!"
"Then give me a new look, I want the Beggars' Sect's Dog-Beating Stick!"
Han Fei grabbed Xiao Wu by the back of his collar and said, "If you can make it into the top ten, I'll give you a dog-beating stick!"
Little Wu kicked wildly in the air, his big eyes full of expectation: "Grandpa, you're not lying?"
When have I ever lied to you?
"Hehe, my mentor said I have the talent to compete for the top three, and getting into the top ten is just a piece of cake. Go and prepare the Dog-Beating Stick for me. When I win the championship and dominate the whole field, I'll take my Dog-Beating Stick and unleash a set of the long-lost Dog-Beating Stick Technique of the Beggars' Sect!"
"Has the match already started?" Han Chengda asked.
Xiao Wu puffed out his belly, beaming with pride: "The auditions are over! Next week, the performances of the contestants who had outstanding performances in the auditions will be broadcast on TV. Be sure to watch!"
"You're already on TV?" Han Chengda looked at Han Fei curiously. "Which channel are you working with?"
“Our local channel and two online platforms are also willing to let us broadcast.”
In China, drinking culture is prevalent. The opportunity for cooperation between the two online platforms was something Han Fei obtained through drinking. It's unknown how much he drank before he managed to get both partners drunk.
The local channel watched the program, approved it, and then aired it; there weren't many ulterior motives involved.
Actually, there was a third online platform, but the meeting place was not legitimate. In addition to drinking, they also wanted to hire prostitutes. As an old man, he felt powerless to do so. He could drink, but he would rather not do anything else. Those young girls didn't seem to be much better than his boss.
Han Fei found the business card of Little Wing Chun and dialed the number: "Hello, is this Little Wing Chun?"
"It's me! You're the old man!"
"You can recognize my voice?"
"Hehe, I didn't give out many business cards. Grandpa's voice is very nice, like a low saxophone!"
Han Fei was amused: "Little Yongchun, there's business to be had, wanna do it?"
"Let's do it! We're almost at the rent payment deadline, I have to get everyone making money!"
"We need lion and dragon dance teams. Do you have enough people? I saw you only had about ten people the other day."
"Don't worry, since our martial arts school was established, we've had many fellow disciples. Some went on to study, some moved away, and some went to work, but as long as I call them in the group, everyone who's free will come! The number will only increase!"
“Okay, seven days in total, parading down every street with our program signs.”
"Is it just like parading around advertising?"
"Yes, that's about it."
"This fee is a bit more expensive than the opening fee. I can split the lion dance team into three groups to parade on three separate streets. The dragon dance troupe has fewer people, only two groups, each with ten to fifteen people. If someone gets tired halfway through, we can replace them, ensuring that the parade will not stop."
"Grandpa, we have about 70 people on our team, and we will charge 300 per person per day."
The sound of a young girl rapidly calculating on her abacus could be heard: "Twenty-one thousand a day, fourteen hundred and seven thousand in seven days. Can you accept this price? If you think it's too expensive, I can give you a 20% discount, making it one hundred and seventeen thousand six hundred yuan. I'll round down the hundreds and give you one hundred and seventeen thousand! We can discuss the price!"
Han Fei could tell that although the girl was very capable, she was also an honest child who wasn't good at business and wasn't cunning.
How could she act like that? Before anyone even complained about the price, she was already rushing to lower it, as if she was afraid of losing business, and kept repeating that the price was negotiable.
If it were a more unscrupulous person, seeing her eagerness to make money and her desire for cooperation, they would definitely cut her losses in half!
"I'll give you 150,000. If you do a good job, we'll have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."
"150,000!" Little Yongchun was overjoyed: "Then we can pay the rent for the whole year! Thank you, Grandpa, we will definitely do a good job! Where are you? I'll come over now to sign the contract with you. You need to pay 30% of the money, and we'll pay the balance after we complete the task in seven days. If you think we haven't done a good job, you can also deduct a little money."
Han Fei sighed and said, "Little girl, aren't you afraid that people won't pay the balance and will nitpick all sorts of things if you do business like this?"
Xiao Yongchun sighed, "Many people nitpicked, and in the end they only gave us half of the final payment. What can we do? It's our fault for not satisfying our customers."
"Your contract doesn't specify what areas are deducted for poor performance, or what areas are excluded from the deduction scope?"
"Well... I don't really understand either, and nobody understands either. The contract was prepared by everyone through a lot of hard work and brainstorming. Every time, the other party finds a problem. We don't want to go to court, so we can only collect a smaller amount of the final payment."
After hanging up the phone, Han Fei shook his head repeatedly: "They're just a bunch of roughnecks. It's no wonder they got ripped off. No wonder they've come up with so many ways to make money, but in the end they still can't even pay the rent."
"Xiao Si, come here for a second."
Han Chengsi pushed up his glasses: "Grandpa, it will cost you to customize a contract."
Han Fei's lips twitched: "If you can get the money, you can ask Xiao Yongchun for it."
Han Chengsi smiled and said, "I'm a professional. My expertise will make her willingly pay."
Xiao Yongchun arrived with three senior brothers. Xiao Yongchun handed a contract to Han Fei: "Grandpa, this is our contract. Please see if there is anything you need to add."
Han Fei glanced at it and thought, "With such an altruistic contract, it's no wonder the young girl is losing money!"
"Xiao Si, take a look."
Han Chengsi stared at Xiao Yongchun for a while, then nodded and took the contract, shaking his head repeatedly: "This contract won't work. From your perspective, you have no protection whatsoever. If the client takes it seriously, you won't receive the final payment at all."
Little Yongchun pursed her lips, feeling somewhat indignant at being spoken to like that by a little boy who looked even younger than herself.
"I'll revise the contract for you, and you give me one percent of the money, how about that?"
One percent of 150,000 yuan, which is 1,500 yuan.
Actually, Xiao Si's price was already quite reasonable, but the young woman was very dissatisfied: "Just change the contract, and you're asking for so much money! My fellow apprentices, from 8 am to 10 pm, we only earn 300 yuan a day!"
"I'll make one change, and then I'll use the same template next time. You can use it repeatedly, so you won't lose out."
"No, that's too expensive." Little Wing Chun held up one hand, showing five fingers: "500, not a penny more. If it's not done well, I won't give you a single cent!"
Han Fei saw Xiao Si push up his glasses and frown, thinking he would refuse, but to his surprise, he nodded: "Okay, if you are satisfied, I will be your legal advisor from now on."
"No problem! If your contract can truly prevent those merchants from deducting the final payment, you will become our martial arts school's legal advisor, and you will receive one-thousandth of every profit we make each month!"
Xiao Yongchun's monthly income is not ideal at present. The biggest problem is that merchants always deduct the final payment, either because their lion dance costumes are dirty or because they are not eye-catching and the effect is not as good as expected.
The highest I earned in a single month this year was 30,000 yuan. After deducting the hard-earned money for my fellow students, the martial arts school's actual income was only 8,000 yuan, which is only 8 yuan per thousand!
If this 150,000 deal goes through, after deducting the 100,000 for everyone's hard work, the martial arts school will get 50,000. After paying a year's rent of 48,000, there will still be 2,000 left over, so we'll give him 2 yuan!
Little Wing Chun's mind was racing with calculations. He thought his martial arts school would be upgraded in the future, with legal counsel available, and it would be very cheap—just a few dollars to resolve the issue!
Han Fei felt the girl was going too far. One in a thousand for a legal advisor was far too little. He looked at his fourth son and figured that given his cunning, he probably wouldn't agree to such a thing.
As a result, Xiao Lao Si nodded: "Okay, I'll go to your place three times a month to see if there are any problems. You can also call me from time to time so we can communicate more."
Han Fei: Something's not right! Little Fourth Brother isn't one to suffer losses!
Han Chengsi revised the contract. After Xiao Yongchun read it, he felt that the other party was truly capable. He immediately took out 500 yuan from the 30% down payment he had received and gave it to Xiao Si: "Follow me, and when I make a lot of money in the future, I won't treat you badly! Three senior brothers, this is our martial arts school's legal advisor!"
"Junior sister, isn't this legal advisor way too young?"
"Age is not a problem. Our martial arts school never looks at age, only at strength!" Little Wing Chun smiled and said, "You are a year younger than me, so you will be considered one of our martial arts school members from now on. You can call them senior brothers and me junior sister!"
"Okay, Senior Sister!"
Before Han Fei could even ask Xiao Si what he was up to after everyone left, Xiao Si asked, "Grandpa, didn't we have some extra fabric from the gift we gave to Brother Xiaolong last time?"
“Indeed, there is.” Han Fei stared at him suspiciously.
Han Chengsi's ears turned red: "Grandpa, make me a safety amulet, I'll give it as a gift."
Xiao Wu, who had been watching the whole thing from the doorway, burst in, laughing uproariously: "I told you, I was waiting for Fourth Brother to get his face slapped! Look how loud the slap is now!"
Han Fei belatedly asked, "You like Little Wing Chun?"
Han Chengsi pushed up his glasses, his ears turning bright red: "I can only say that I have feelings for him."
Han Fei said expressionlessly, "Those who make promises often end up with things going wrong and getting slapped in the face. Sure enough, I heard the sound of slaps."
Xiao Wu pulled Xiao Si aside and whispered, "Fourth Brother, that sister just now, she was like a boy, do you like that kind of girl?"
"Although she has a boyish temper, she was wearing pink clothes."
"so what?"
"The contrast is cute, it's adorable."
"I still think my Xiaomei is cuter!"
...
Little Wing Chun gathered 70 people, assigned tasks, and had three lions and two giant dragons parade through the streets, beating gongs and drums, creating a lively atmosphere.
Passersby asked in confusion, "Has a new store opened?"
"It doesn't seem so. Look at those banners!"
Instead of lion dancers, the apprentices held up banners, which fluttered in the wind.
