Can a general do whatever he wants?

The boy who was doing trivial things in the troupe walked towards Liu Rumei who was concentrating on applying makeup in the mirror, leaned over and whispered in his ear:

"Boss Liu, someone is looking for you."

"The second half is about to start, and I don't have time to see guests."

"I heard it's someone from Yue Ye."

The hand holding the eyebrow pencil paused, and Liu Rumei's expression changed: "Yan Yue's?"

"Yes... that is the paralyzed young master of the Yan family."

Liu Ru's eyebrows and phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, through the foreign mirror in front of her, she could vaguely see the blurry figure outside the door.He smiled meaningfully: "Come in, please."

The handyman bowed and said "yes" and left the room.Rubbing Zhao Ling's shoulder when he opened the door, he leaned into Zhao Ling's ear and whispered to him:

"Boss Liu, please go in and talk."

Zhao Ling nodded slightly, raised his hand to press the hat, looked around, saw no one around, and then walked into the room.Just as the boy closed the door from the outside, Zhao Ling leaned on the door and listened carefully for a while, making sure that no one was eavesdropping outside.

"Zhao Zhang's vigilant temperament has not changed at all."

Liu Rumei was spinning a soft pen in her hand, and the pen kept spinning, like a butterfly dancing between Liu Rumei's fingers.Sitting half-length in front of the dressing table, he stared jokingly at the man in the gray robe and round-rimmed glasses in front of him.

Zhao Ling turned his head, nodded respectfully and said hello to him: "Boss Liu's skill in turning pens is still as sophisticated as before after three years."

"Huh!" Liu Rumei flicked her backhand, and the eyebrow pencil flew out, drawing an arc and inserting the tip of the pen upward into the pen holder.

Liu Rumei got up and walked slowly in front of Zhao Ling.

Zhao Ling was a head taller than Liu Rumei, standing in front of Zhao Ling, Liu Rumei, who was already thin, looked a bit cuddly.

He suppressed his voice, and asked softly with his hoarse and magnetic bass: "What orders does Yue Ye have?"

"It's nothing. It's just that Yue Ye thinks things about your troupe are a bit strange, so let me inform you to stay for two more days."

When it came to the theater troupe, Liu Ru's brows flashed a little irritability, but he quickly covered it up.He suppressed the displeasure in his heart, and his voice was sullen:

"Theatrical troupe, theatrical troupe, and theatrical troupe. Yan Yue can't manage himself well, but he still cares about me? I have said it several times, my troupe is fine. Don't you see that there are quite a lot of people here today? Can you let me He rests."

Even knowing that Liu Rumei's temperament is like this, Zhao Ling is still a little displeased that he put his petulant and arrogant personality on Yue Ye, and his tone obviously became a little perfunctory and impatient:

"You don't know how your own troupe is doing? Do you think that when you say 'I'm going to play A Dream in the Garden' by yourself, a bunch of people come over to pay you? Liu Rumei, you really don't know your guests How did it come here?"

Hearing this, Liu Rumei's expression changed, no amount of white powder could cover up the embarrassment on his face.

The words have ended.

Of course Liu Rumei knew what was going on.From the time he entered the stage and sang the first line, when the pair of scorching eyes from the audience met him, he knew:

The full audience were just spectators invited by Yan Yue.

Staggering back a few steps, Liu Rumei leaned back to the dressing table, pressed the case behind her hands with her hands, supported her body, lowered her head and bit her lips, unable to say a word.

"Don't be sad, it's not your fault that no one watched you sing. You sing very well. Boss has always admired you, including your plays." Seeing Liu Rumei's appearance, Zhao Ling sighed inwardly.

Once upon a time, it was hard to get a ticket for this Manchun Garden.

Liu Rumei shook her head, and said bitterly: "It's impossible for him to sing my play alone...you don't understand, how could you understand! I have sung plays for so many years...a play that has always been popular. I don't know what At that time, it seemed like two years ago, a month ago, or yesterday, when suddenly I was no longer recognized... Do you know how painful I am now!" Liu Ru blushed and her eyes were red, her whole body was shaking with excitement.

The last sentence, Liu Rumei almost yelled out from between her teeth suppressing her anger.

"Then you should rely on the boss." Zhao Ling looked directly at Liu Rumei, raised his hand and patted Liu Rumei's shoulder.

Liu Rumei calmed down, as if she had exhausted all her strength, her shoulders drooped weakly, she snorted coldly, and when she looked up, she could see his wet red eyes: "Zhao Ling, you don't know what's going on with Yan Yue now. I won't let you A cripple came to help me. Even if this is my last scene, I will not ask Yan Yue."

"You..." Zhao Ling opened his mouth, but he couldn't say any more persuasive words.

Zhao Ling didn't know how to comfort Liu Rumei.As he said, the current situation of the boss is indeed not one thousandth of what it was back then.

Liu Rumei's eyes were bloodshot, and the white makeup on her face was slightly blurred by tears. She continued in a choked voice, "I will return all the proceeds from today's bill to Yan Yue."

"Do I, Yan Yue, still lack your little money for singing?"

A familiar voice remembered, and the door was opened again.Coming against the light was the man and his wife whom the two in the room had been talking about.

"Master Yue."

Zhao Ling first bowed to Yan Yue.Yan Yue stroked his hand to signal that he needn't be so cautious.

"Master Yue, why are you here? Didn't you tell me to talk to Boss Liu?"

Yan Yue glanced at Liu Rumei who was quietly wiping away tears, then smiled at Zhao Ling and said, "It would be weird if you two didn't quarrel. It may take a few years before you can clarify the problem."

"Ah... yes." Zhao Ling was frustrated.

Turning sideways to make way for Yan Yue, Yan Yue twisted his wheelchair and stumbled into the room, bringing Chen Ming along with him.

"What are you doing to me again, you want to embarrass me..."

Liu Rumei turned her head and did not want to look at this man.

Yan Yue didn't care either, he said with a smile: "The ticket I used to watch the show a few days ago was given to me by that kid from the Huang family. I don't know if I don't buy it, but when I bought it, I found out that I wanted to buy a ticket from Boss Liu. So rare."

Tickets for the theater troupe can be purchased directly as long as you go to Manchun Garden, which is not rare.Liu Rumei felt strange, she turned her head and looked at Yan Yue suspiciously with her flowery makeup on.

"This time I planned to book the whole audience, but the boss of Manchunyuan didn't agree. Instead, I planned to let Zhao Ling buy all the seats and standing tickets. But..."

"But Boss Liu, the tickets for your theater troupe have been pledged."

Zhao Ling continued to add on behalf of Yan Yue: "At the sales office, your play was not displayed on the event list of Manchun Garden. This is one of them."

Liu Rumei stood up, her eyes wide open, the more she listened, the more surprised she became.

"Secondly, your tickets are two or three times the price of other shows..." Zhao Ling continued.

"Impossible... Impossible! My tickets have always been cheap!" Liu Rumei shook her head in disbelief, as if she was talking to herself.

"Yes, we know that. And thirdly, guess where we bought your ticket?" Zhao Ling held back.

"Where?" Liu Rumei raised her head suddenly, her voice became urgent.

"In addition to the ticket office, there is also the proprietress of Manchunyuan."

How could this happen... It stands to reason that all the theater tickets should be at the box office, why some of them are in the hands of the proprietress.

Liu Rumei pursed her lips tightly, clenched her fists tightly, and her nails were deeply embedded in her palms.The violent ups and downs of his chest showed his restless heart.

"If you want to know why, Master Yue is also investigating. So I want you to stay for two more days."

Chen Ming, who had always been a bystander, also found it strange to stand behind Yan Yue.

Or, from a third-party point of view: it seems that someone in the dark deliberately caused Liu Rumei's troupe to collapse.
