The Show Begins

Chapter 19: Female CEO's advice

Views:

"What are you thinking about?" asked Tian Jing.

Lai Yang glanced at her, with her straight nose, watery eyes, tight jawline, and her profile...

"You're not thinking about anything? You're walking seriously."

This made Tian Jing laugh a little. She looked at Lai Yang with her pretty eyes and said, "The beautiful lady just now is called Yuan Shengda, right?"

"Oh, she's my childhood friend. Her real name is Yuan Qing. I gave her this nickname because she had a loud voice when she was young. Later I got used to calling her that."

This made Tian Jing laugh and cry. She raised her lips and said, "She is such a pretty little girl, and you gave her such a name? You must have gotten beaten a lot, right?"

"Well, she wasn't happy when I yelled at her at first, but after a few beatings, she became obedient." Lai Yang said seriously.

The quiet red lips and white teeth opened, and she was so shocked that she didn't know what to do.

Lai Yang chuckled and said that those were things that happened when they were children. It was normal for children to fight, and he had never beaten her in several attempts.

“Hahaha~”

A burst of laughter like silver bells entered Lai Yang's ears. This was the second time he saw Tian Jing smiling so brightly, but last time, he was laughing with the man in the suit.

To be honest, she is so beautiful when she smiles peacefully, which makes Lai Yang sigh at the greatness of the Creator.

After laughing for a while, Tian Jing said with curved eyes: "You didn't drink my milk tea today. I think your childhood friend seems angry."

"Why would she be mad about a cup of milk tea?"

"Really? I think it's not just milk tea. Do you... like her?" she asked with her beautiful eyes.

Lai Yang's face changed, and he quickly said: "I always call her Big Brother, what's the point of liking her? The relationship between us is pure brotherhood."

Tian Jing snorted, retracted her gaze and said, "Really? But I don't think she thinks so."

"Oh~ I find you are quite gossipy? Jingjing, this doesn't fit with your personality as a cold and aloof president." Lai Yang said with a smile.

Tranquility rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why can't I gossip?"

"Sure, let me gossip a little bit too. Jingjing, how many boyfriends have you had?" Lai Yang grinned.

"What's it got to do with you?" Tian Jing's expression changed again in an instant.

Lai Yang was asking for trouble, and said that he didn't want to hear it, and then the two of them fell into silence again, watching her house getting closer and closer.

Lai Yang racked his brains but couldn't find the next topic.

It was not until Tian Jing asked about the theater first that Lai Yang started talking like a flood.

He didn't pretend this time and told everyone about the problems he encountered in the theater. As he spoke, he began to feel annoyed.

He just took out a cigarette from his pocket, and Tian Jing snatched it away and said.

"Your business strategy is flawed. You only think about putting on performances. Where are your customer base? Where is your fan base? You don't have any of that. And you're not famous, so why would anyone spend money to buy tickets?"

"Uh... you could actually be more tactful." Lai Yang's face was a little gloomy.

"I was being polite with you, but in reality I will slap you in the face." The quiet and delicate little face said seriously.

"Hey you, you..."

"Do you want to listen or not? If not, forget it."

Lai Yang was scared for a moment, but for the sake of the theater he gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, come on, then slap me gently."

Tianjing took a deep breath, and the spherical curve on the chest of her windbreaker, wrapped in the beige sweater, rose and fell slightly, making Lai Yang spit.

She told Lai Yang that there should be a special session for newcomers during the week, which is called an "open mic" in jargon, and that there could be open mics with different themes.

For example, if there is a special session for mothers, we can contact some mothers in the community and provide them with a free platform for communication and sharing, so that they can share their parenting experiences as jokes.

In addition, there can also be special sessions for dads, unemployed people, couples, etc.

Tian Jing stopped and looked at Lai Yang with her pretty face and said, "The open mic ticket is only 9.9 yuan a piece, which is not even enough for a cup of milk tea. But those mothers and fathers who are on stage just bring some friends over, and your small theater is almost full."

Lai Yang was a little dazed as he listened. He had held open mics before, but never set up any theme.

He just wanted to screen out some actors from the old audience, but when Ting Tianjing set up the theme, it gave him new ideas. Once the people with different themes were identified, it was easy for him to find them.

“Also, with the traffic you accumulate from open mics during the week, are you still worried about not being able to sell out the weekend tickets? And good new actors can also add new content to the weekend performances, which also solves the actor problem.”

Tian Jing pouted and said, "Otherwise, I'm tired of hearing the same old jokes between you and your two partners.

When you have more actors and more traffic, you will gradually rise. This is a process of accumulation. "

Lai Yang was stunned by what he said, until Tian Jing waved her hand in front of her eyes, and then he came back to his senses.

"Hey, are you listening carefully?" She looked at him with peaceful and sparkling eyes.

"Wow, you're so cool!" Lai Yang raised his thumb and murmured.

"What do you mean?" Her beautiful eyes narrowed.

Lai Yang explained that he was praising her for being awesome, and then he muttered, "I wish I had a partner like you? Jingjing, would you consider investing?"

"Humph! You want me to pay you?"

Tian Jing showed a charming smile, and walked towards her home with light lotus steps while saying: "You sent me home recently, and I also gave you some advice. We are even now."

Lai Yang quickly caught up and shouted, "Hey, you can't say that. From what you said just now, I feel like we can become bigger and stronger?"

"Yes, yes, yes. Take your time. I'm home now." She replied in a gentle voice.

"Then I'll go up and sit down, and we can talk about it in detail. Maybe the small theater can be listed in the future?"

"Ha ha!"

Tianjing laughed twice, used the access card to swipe open the security door downstairs, took small steps, went in, and slammed the door shut.

Lai Yang was stunned and shouted while leaning against the security door.

"Jingjing, why are you doing this? Then I'll treat you to a meal, and you'll owe me another favor, okay?"

"Hey! I'll give you a ride once, so you owe me one, okay?"

After the performance ended in the evening, Yuan Shengda suddenly received a phone call and left in a hurry. He returned to the gate of the community only after Lai Yang and Li Dian had cleaned up the theater.

The vendor selling rice noodles looked at Lai Yang and smiled, saying that his girlfriend hadn't eaten tonight again and looked worried.

Lai Yang knew that Yuan Shengda was worried about the rent, so he had to talk to Yuan Shengda. But before that, Lai Yang called Yuan Shengda's landlord first.

Because he was the one who contacted the landlord and had his contact information, he wanted to pay the money for her.

But after the call was connected, the landlord said in surprise that Yuan Shengda had not defaulted on the rent, which was paid every six months and was not yet due.

Lai Yang was a little stunned holding the phone. What was going on

Didn’t Yuan Shengda borrow money because of the rent
