Gu Qingdai was relieved to successfully persuade Lian Beichuan to sign the document, and she was able to take advantage of the opportunity and focus on running the teahouse.
As the Lantern Festival approached, Gu Qingdai went to the homes of Xu Xuannian, Zhu Xiaojiu and others to pay New Year greetings with her New Year gifts.
I have always been worried about coming to the door too early, as people are busy visiting relatives and friends.
But it is absolutely impossible not to visit this door and give these gifts. They are indispensable for the tea house to have a good start in reopening.
When leaving Xu Xuannian's home, Xu Qiuxia deliberately asked her son to come out to see him off.
Lu Shixiang knew that his grandfather and mother liked Gu Qingdai very much, so he obediently sent the guest to the entrance of the street.
"Master Lu, please go back quickly. How can I lose a living person like this one in the blue sky?"
"You have to watch Shopkeeper Gu get into the rickshaw." Lu Shixiang smiled with his eyes bent, revealing those two iconic little tiger teeth.
Gu Qingdai sighed that his words and deeds were all wrapped up in a gentle, courteous and thrifty atmosphere. This kind of temperament that he exuded from the inside out could not be faked.
She couldn't help but think of Fu Yanli. For some reason, she always felt uneasy and had a premonition that something bad would happen.
"What a coincidence, no rickshaw passed by at this moment." Gu Qingdai tightened the Rex rabbit short-haired long windbreaker.
Lu Shixiang exhaled a series of white breaths, "What's the rush? I'll just wait with the shopkeeper. Where are you going next?"
"I want to go to Master Xiao Zhong's house."
"I heard that the leaders of the big and small bells are very low-key, and they are the ones who make a lot of money quietly."
The two chatted for a while, and Lu Shixiang suddenly started gossiping: "Shopkeeper Gu, it's my birthday, Brother Beichuan, did he go to your place?"
"When is Second Master Lian's birthday? I don't know. He often goes to my place recently, just to discuss business at the mahjong table, right?" Gu Qingdai pretended not to know and just scrawled something back.
"Mr. Lian was so angry that night that my grandfather came back and said that he didn't dare to do anything to Brother Beichuan, but he scolded Brother Yuchuan."
"Why is the third master so unlucky? Look at how the second master doesn't treat him well."
Lu Shixiang put his feet back and forth on the ground, "Shopkeeper Gu, you don't know what's going on, Brother Beichuan is a sharp-tongued man, Master Bi Lian..."
"How is Master Bilian?"
He lowered his voice and said, "Master Bilian is more like a father."
"I think he has a sharp mouth but a sharp heart." Gu Qingdai smiled jokingly, but she already felt that it was very difficult for him.
The rickshaw finally arrived at this moment, and Gu Qingdai left in a hurry.
She noticed that Lu Shixiang seemed to be deliberately promoting Lian Beichuan in front of her.
Thinking back to the time when Lian Zhenzhen spilled the beans in front of her, Gu Qingdai went crazy for a while. Everyone in the Lian family was wondering how they could have imagined that she had seduced Lian Beichuan!
Men too affect her speed of "drawing the sword". In such a good time, wouldn't it be good to think more about ways to make money?
Gu Qingdai visited the Zhong family for the first time and felt a little uneasy.
After all, I had only had some contact with Team Leader Xiao Zhong in the past, and it was always on official occasions.
Zhong Yue and Zhong Xiu were sitting in the main room drinking tea with Gu Qingdai. The brother and sister changed their usual serious attitude and chatted harmoniously with Gu Qingdai.
Gu Qingdai had not planned to discuss the cooperation in the new year in detail today, but the Zhong brothers and sisters repeatedly took the initiative to discuss this aspect.
Seeing this, Gu Qingdai simply said frankly, "Master Xiao Zhong, this is what I have considered in my heart..."
As soon as she finished typing the manuscript, someone knocked on the door of Zhong's house.
The few young students who came were all from the Zhong Family Theater. They said in a panic, "Teacher, our Zhong Family Theater is on fire!"
The tea cup in Zhong Yue's hand fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
The Zhong brothers and sisters, who were enjoying the festive atmosphere just now, fell from the sky to the ground in an instant like ice and fire.
The entire Zhong family moved in unison and rushed to the Zhong Family Theater.
The Zhong brothers and sisters could not care about Gu Qingdai. She was alone in the main hall of the Zhong family for a moment, and then ran out.
It is still the Chinese New Year, and both the police department and the fire brigade are on vacation. We have to call all the people back before rushing to the scene. I am afraid that the cucumber vegetables will be cold.
Gu Qingdai was worried that something like this would happen in the teahouse, so she took the trouble to inspect every blind spot for hidden dangers every day, and from time to time she also spread common sense about fire fighting and self-rescue to the staff.
She immediately ran back to the teahouse, and except for Gu Qingsong who was left to look after the house, she called all the other waiters.
Wooden barrels, fire hooks, nail hooks, bamboo ladders and other things, everything that could come in handy were brought along.
Lian Beichuan was chatting and laughing with the bosses in the card room. Huo Jie, who had returned from leave, suddenly barged in and relayed the situation with Gu Qingdai to Lian Beichuan.
"Why would she rush forward with such a thing?"
Lian Beichuan withdrew from the mahjong table and hurriedly looked for Gu Qingdai.
At this time, Gu Qingdai had already taken the lead.
"How many people do we have on hand?"
"There are people who stay in the business house to do the watch, and there are also the doormen at the Chamber of Commerce. It is estimated that there are more than a dozen people."
"That's enough. I'll go find Gu Qingdai first. You can contact someone and they'll be here right away."
Beichuan didn't even have time to put on his coat before he started the car and rushed to Zhong's Theater.
The intensity of the fire in the Zhong Family Theater was far beyond Gu Qingdai's imagination. While she told the staff to ensure their own safety, she also urged everyone to quickly join the fire-fighting team.
Gu Qingdai had never seen such a hysterical troupe leader Xiao Zhong. All the costumes of the entire troupe were in the theater. How could she not feel heartbroken?
Just when Team Leader Xiao Zhong was about to rush into the sea of fire again, Gu Qingdai grabbed her tightly from behind.
"You can't go in!"
Zhong Xiu was already disheveled, his hair was messy, and his face and hands were all black.
She yelled at the top of her lungs: "I can hold out one more thing, let me in, let me in!"
"If you never come back and die inside, the entire Zhong family troupe will be completely destroyed!"
Zhong Xiu gradually regained some sense and saw that Gu Qingdai not only brought many helpers, but also organized how everyone should put out the fire.
"I don't even know what to say to you."
"No need to say anything, no one would stand by and watch this happen."
Gu Qingdai was sure that Zhong Xiu had finally given up the urge to rush into the fire, and started to mobilize the residents around the theater to come out to help.
Even when Beichuan found her in the crowd, she was almost speechless.
"How did you come?"
Gu Qingdai took off one of her high heels and was breaking the heel part off with all her strength.
Lian Beichuan lowered his head and saw that the heel on her other foot had already broken off.
"What does this matter have to do with you?" Lian Beichuan asked sharply.
Gu Qingdai quickly looked around and said, "Shut up, is this appropriate for you to say now? I've lost everything!"
Lian Beichuan rolled his eyes at her and said, "Stop talking, put on your shoes, and take me to see the leader of the big clock."
Gu Qingdai couldn't figure it out at first, but soon she saw Huo Jie leading a group of people rushing over.
"You are such a talkative person, what does this matter have to do with you?" This chapter has been completed!
