A burst of laughter spread throughout the cafe.
Xu Mo covered her mouth with her hands and laughed so hard that her body shook. Lai Yang laughed so hard that his legs accidentally bumped into the small round table, and some of the coffee in the cup spilled out.
The main reason why Lai Yang arranged a blind date for Li Dian was that his life was too dull.
Apart from work, he spends the rest of his time staying in the house. The thick walls and narrow space make him more introverted.
Such a life will deeply close his mind over time and be very harmful.
Besides, Xu Mo is a pretty girl with a cheerful personality, and she is a perfect match for Li Dian.
"When we first started doing a talk show, an audience member said that the show was quite interesting, but the host with glasses was too nervous. He didn't dare to open his eyes to look at the audience the whole time, hahahaha..."
After Lai Yang finished speaking, Li Dian glared at him.
"Nonsense, my eyes are not that small, at least I have double eyelids."
Puff~
Xu Mo was so amused that she covered her mouth and laughed. She moved closer to Li Dian and stared at him seductively. "Where are your double eyelids? Open your eyes wider so I can see."
"Hey, look... double eyelids."
Li Dian opened his eyes and explained seriously, "I was born with small eyes. My dad told me that when I was born, the doctor took out half of my head, but they couldn't see my eyes, and people thought it was my butt."
"Ha ha!"
Lai Yang and Xu Mo couldn't help laughing again, and several customers chatting near the window cast curious glances at them.
Xu Mo forced himself to stop laughing and asked if this was a joke.
Li Dian shook his head and said that his father told him this when he was a child.
"And then?"
Xu Mo asked, and Lai Yang immediately responded.
"Then the doctor stuffed it back in, and then turned it around and took it out the butt first. When you looked at it, wow! How come there is an eye in the middle? Hahaha..."
Li Dian punched Lai Yang on the shoulder with a gloomy face, but Lai Yang and Xu Mo were already laughing like crazy.
The awkward atmosphere when the three people first met was gone. Xu Mo ate the matcha cake on the table with a small fork while chatting with Li Dian. Lai Yang chatted with them for a while and then picked up his phone to play.
While scrolling through Tik Tok, Qianying sent a message in the group. After reading it, his face gradually turned pale.
This is a link to an article written by Wang Defa’s “Baole Theater” public account. The content directly criticizes the “Boxiao Club” for not abiding by industry rules and destroying bridges after crossing them!
The article was very explicit, clearly stating that the company would no longer cooperate with the Boxiao Club and called on peers to boycott...
This article has been read over 10,000 times and forwarded hundreds of times.
Lai Yang immediately checked the official accounts of brands such as Tudou Comedy and Xiaodian Comedy, and found that they had all reposted the article.
"What happened?" Li Dian asked.
Lai Yang looked up, took a deep breath and put his phone on the table. Li Dian and Xu Mo leaned in to take a look at the same time.
"Ah? Have you offended your colleagues? An article can be read tens of thousands of times, this is not a small number." Xu Mo's face was shocked.
The official account of the Boxiao Club has accumulated traffic for two years, but has only achieved two to three thousand readings, so he knows very well what tens of thousands of readings mean.
"Laiyang, look at their article. There's a link to the May 14th event for a thousand people. It's obvious that they're using this topic to gain popularity and sell tickets for them." Li Dian said.
"I know! These bastards deliberately stepped on us to attract attention. I never thought that the leader would be Wang Defa."
"Du Xi is a rather sinister person. I guess Wang Defa wanted his own theater to become the industry leader, so he chose to take the lead in publishing..."
Li Dian sighed heavily, his eyes fell on the table for a while, then he looked up and said.
"Let's not talk about this for now. I had a commercial performance last night, but it was too late and I forgot to tell you."
Lai Yang sat still for a moment and asked how much the offer was.
Li Dian raised a hand, and Lai Yang's eyes flashed: "Fifty thousand?! Such a high offer?"
After deducting the 50,000 yuan given to Li's mother from the box office of the thousand-person show, they finally got only a little over 40,000 yuan. Lai Yang was excited but also worried that others would not agree.
"I feel like I underpaid because they agreed right away and asked me to sign the contract today and give a deposit."
Hiss~
Lai Yang couldn't help but take a breath of cold air. This was truly pie in the sky.
Li Dian continued, "Don't get excited yet. The main problem is that this commercial performance is not in Shanghai, but in Zhoushan, which is about 300 kilometers away from us. It's fast by plane, about an hour."
"Let's go! It's 50,000 yuan, and everyone will take a plane."
Lai Yang rubbed his hands together excitedly, and asked Li about the time and other people's specific requirements.
"It's a performance for the hotel's opening ceremony. We only need to arrange a half-hour show. That's the requirement... The boss specifically asked you to perform. I guess he saw your video online."
Laiyang was stunned
Li Dian smiled and said, "I heard it's a female boss, and she's also your fan. She wants to treat you to a meal after the show..."
"Oh~ Laiyang is so lucky~ Hurry up and hold the female boss's thighs tightly." Xu Mo teased.
The corner of Lai Yang's mouth twitched slightly, then he changed to a comfortable sitting position, held his chin with his hand, thought for a long time, and said.
"I sell my art but not my body~"
Xu Mo and Li Dian looked at each other for a second, then burst out laughing.
Qianying called at this time. Lai Yang guessed that they were talking about things in the group, so he didn't disturb Xu Mo and Li Dian anymore and got up and left the cafe.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, sat on the double swing iron chair at the door, looked at the tall and short buildings across the street, and answered the call.
"Hey, Master! You asked me to inquire about Aru's shop. I've already found out. There's something wrong with that shop. There was a conflict between the landlord and the previous merchant. The landlord doesn't plan to rent it out anymore, so the previous merchant is in a hurry to sell it. There are still two months left on the lease. I guess Aru was cheated!"
Lai Yang's hand holding the cigarette trembled and his expression became serious.
"Is your information accurate?"
"That's right. The landlord is an old man from Shanghai. He's very difficult to deal with. He originally had other shops for us to rent out, but every time he rented them out, he ended up having conflicts with the tenants. It was clearly his problem, but he still refused to pay. As a result, all the real estate agencies on our street have already removed his properties from the shelves!"
Qianying paused and continued.
"I guess the previous tenant couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to pack up and move out. If Aru had signed the contract, he would have been in big trouble!"
…
After hanging up the phone, Lai Yang held the phone, took a deep puff of smoke, and then immediately called Alu.
After the call was connected, a quiet voice came from the other end; "Hello, Brother Yang, I'm busy right now, I'll call you back later."
"Wait a moment!"
Lai Yang quickly told Qianying the information she had found out, and reminded her, "Don't be impulsive about this matter, and don't rush to sign the contract!"
"Hey... Brother Yang, just ignore this matter, okay?"
Lai Yang was confused for a moment. He didn't expect Aru to have this attitude. After a few seconds, Lai Yang asked again with anger.
"...Okay, Aru, let me ask you one more thing. You bought this store, but Sheng Da didn't pay for it, right?"
"Not yet."
"not yet?!!"
