The Show Begins

Chapter 2: The show is about to begin

The lights between the buildings intertwined with each other, blending with the night to form a brown-blue color, but her fair and serious face made this main color look different.

Lai Yang paused for a moment and then said with a joking smile: "Humph, this is so funny, why don't you say Shanghai is yours?"

"Shanghai is mine," she said.

"Haha! They are all yours, right? Then look at the three moles on the soles of my feet. Could it be that I am yours too?" Lai Yang asked.

Her beautiful eyes flickered slightly and she shook her head: "You? I don't want it."

Lai Yang was so angry at these words that he immediately lost the desire to communicate with her. Lai Yang turned his head with red eyes to look at the city and ignored her.

After a while, the sound of high heels could be heard, and the woman left while saying that the security guard would come up in a minute.

"Come on! Still looking for security? Find a wizard to come and exorcise the demon. If I really want to die here today, I will haunt you even if I turn into a ghost, so that you won't find trouble for no reason!"

Facing Lai Yang's shouting, she didn't even turn her head, but after she left, Lai Yang became a little worried. After all, his theater was also under the management of this building, so not long after, Lai Yang ran downstairs in the elevator in dejected manner.

Coincidentally, the elevator stopped at the floor of Yunbin Group's operations department. When the elevator door opened, the director walked in with a bag. When he saw Lai Yang, his face was full of surprise.

The red numbers on the elevator screen kept jumping. Although Lai Yang was upset about Gu Qian's matter, the theater still had to find a way to promote it, so he forced a smile.

"Director, you love to exercise. You have a tall and straight body, tight hips, and…"

The director sighed heavily, turned to look at Lai Yang and said that he really couldn't help him, and if the theater needed promotion, he could go to the planning department.

After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said that it was useless to look for anyone now. The president of the group had retired, and the new president had just taken office. He would stop renewing the leases of shops that were about to expire, and would introduce first-tier brands to settle in, so the theater in Laiyang probably would not last long.

A flash of lightning flashed through Lai Yang's brain. The theater's lease was due at the end of the month, but the people in the investment department didn't tell him!

The small theater had just been renovated not long ago. If it was taken back, he would be completely finished and have nothing.

Lai Yang asked the director with a dry and sore throat, is there any room for maneuver in this matter

The director looked at the numbers on the elevator screen, shook his head and said that unless Lai Yang had a good relationship with the new president, forget it.

The elevator door opened and the director walked out quickly. Lai Yang caught up with him and asked if the president worked upstairs? How old was he? Was he a man or a woman

The director quickened his pace and said he couldn't tell where he worked. Just after he left the building, he suddenly stopped and looked at Lai Yang: "But the president is very young, about the same age as you, and she is a daughter who inherited her father's business."

After saying that, he left, but Lai Yang was petrified on the spot, and all the scenes on the rooftop just now were quickly replayed...

Could it be her

My goodness, if she wasn't kidding, she really did have a building!

The Boxiao talk show theater is small, with only enough space for 80 chairs.

There is a storage room behind the theater, which has now been converted into a backstage for performances.

Lai Yang was sitting in front of the makeup mirror backstage, smoking in a daze. There was a circle of small light bulbs around the mirror, and the incandescent light they emitted made his brain dizzy.

"Don't smoke here. The actors are choking and all of them are going out to get some fresh air."

Li Dian, a partner from Laiyang, came over with big round glasses and squinting eyes.

He snatched the Laiyang cigarettes away, then pulled out a stool and sat down: "How was the conversation with the building management today?"

Lai Yang wiped his face heavily with his hand and explained the situation in detail. Then he saw that Li Dian's face was also frozen and extremely gloomy.

He and Yuan Shengda each invested 100,000 yuan in this small theater. Of course they would collapse if it went bankrupt, but Lai Yang invested 200,000 yuan with a loan. Wouldn't he really have to jump off the building

After a long while, Li Dianrang called Yuan Shengda to discuss the matter. Lai Yang dialed the number in a state of confusion, but before he could speak, Yuan Shengda screamed.

"Hey Laiyang, you finally called. Don't take Gu Qian's cheating too seriously. If you want to live a decent life, everyone has a little green head. I'm at the airport right now, and I'll accompany you for a drink tomorrow!"

Li Dian's eyes widened, Lai Yang's face turned pale, and he put his mouth close to the microphone and said, "You're so loud, can you lower your voice a little? Do you have to shout so loud that the whole world knows?"

"Ah, I was just loud to you, don't worry, Li Dian, I will definitely not say anything nonsense."

Li Dian swallowed his saliva and leaned closer to the microphone: "Louder, I'm here."

"… Well."

In order to change the subject, Lai Yang brought up the matter of the theater, but after hearing this, Yuan Shengda raised his voice even louder.

"Fuck! Lai Yang, you are so unlucky, and you even made me and Li Dian look bad."

Lai Yang's face turned red with anger. He sneered, "Really? Then I'll tease you one more time. You came back by plane, right? Remember to ask the stewardess about the practical process of skydiving in advance. Also, remember to be more careful, don't jump out with your schoolbag on your back!"

Li Dian was amused by these words. He gave a thumbs up and said that Lai Yang was indeed a great joke teller.

"Laiyang, you... I am a woman after all, is it appropriate for you to talk like this?"

Yuan Sheng cursed a few times, paused for a moment, and then asked Lai Yang to talk to the boss of Yunbin Group to see if there was any room for maneuver.

Lai Yang sighed and said there was no hope, and told him what happened on the rooftop.

He originally thought that everyone would be shocked by his jumping off the building, but in the end no one mentioned it at all. Instead, everyone asked in a weird way, "Is the female president pretty?"

"What's wrong with you two? Are we talking about beauty now? We're almost dead!"

"Well... then, is she beautiful or not?" Li Dian asked.

A surge of anger suddenly rushed to Lai Yang's throat. Just as he was about to explode, Li Dian suddenly put his hand on his shoulder.

"Laiyang, Gu Qian and the Porsche

"You are together with the king of the building, can't you be together with the king of the building? A building? If you want to chase her, why do you need to open a small theater? Isn't it more fun to collect rent?"

Yuan Shengda was also choked up, and Li Dian added: "Even if we can't catch up with her, even if there is a little ambiguity between them, wouldn't the theater be revived? What do you think, Shengda?"

"Oh... If she likes him, then... that's fine." The person on the other end of the phone whispered.

Lai Yang was a little dazed, but there was something right in what Li Dian said when he advised him.

If Gu Qian can be a bad woman, can't I be a bad man? Can't I live a different life for Gu Qian to see

Thinking of this, Lai Yang looked at the makeup mirror, reached out and touched his face and said: "But... apart from this handsome face, I really don't have any advantages."

"Ahem~ That's all. I'm getting on the plane." Yuan Sheng said.

The next day, Lai Yang found out through inquiries that the female president of Yunbin Group was only 24 years old, her office was on the 22nd floor, and she had just returned from studying in the United States.

This gave him room to perform. Lai Yang bought a bouquet of flowers and went to the 22nd floor. He told the front desk that he was an American classmate of the president and wanted to give her a surprise so that she could let him in quietly.

The receptionist glanced at Lai Yang and said frivolously, "Do you have an appoi? If not, you e by pho."

The flower bud in Lai Yang's hand drooped instantly. He swallowed and said, "Oh, yes... then... goodbye."

Blushing, Lai Yang walked away quickly, but after a while he went back, took out a talk show ticket and put it on the desk at the front desk, looking at her coldly.

"As a receptionist, being good at English is useless. You need to have good eyesight. Give this to your boss and tell him to see you at the theater tonight. If you are delayed, hehehe..."

After saying this, Lai Yang walked away with his head held high.

Time without temperature is like falling feathers, floating so lightly and swaying until the evening performance.

Backstage, Yuan Shengda also came back, wearing a black coat, with long hair like a waterfall, tall figure, delicate oval face, white and delicate, and beautiful watery eyes under a pair of curved eyebrows.

Apart from her tomboyish personality and loud voice, she actually looks like a goddess.

"The show is about to start. Is your female president coming?" Yuan Sheng said with a frown.

Li Dian pushed his glasses and said that maybe people thought it was a prank.

After that, they encouraged Lai Yang to prepare to go on stage. Life had to go on as usual and the performance had to go on.

But Lai Yang was really in no mood. He held the crystal ball given by Gu Qian in his hand and stared at the mirror in a daze.

At this time, an actor came backstage and shouted with a smile: "Hey, here comes a beautiful lady. Who will be the first to go on stage tonight? Er, who will be the first to go on stage?"
