Gu Qingdai has been in a low mood for many days, and rarely smiles even when entertaining guests.
Everyone in the tea house heard about the internal situation one after another, but they did not dare to mention it casually in front of Gu Qingdai.
This night it was Zhong Ling's turn to take the stage again, but it was not her special performance, so she came down early to take off her makeup.
Gu Qingdai and Team Leader Xiao Zhong walked around in front of and behind the scenes. Seeing that she didn't look well, Team Leader Xiao Zhong urged her to go back to the back room to rest.
Zhong Ling deliberately intercepted Gu Qingdai and waved to her from a distance, "Shopkeeper Gu!"
"I heard that your good sister is a prostitute and her business is booming. We have worked so hard to earn a few bucks, but when people lie down there, they can make a lot of real money."
She knew clearly that Zhong Ling came to mock her on purpose, but she was still sad after hearing it. Qu Biqian could obviously not take that path.
Gu Qingdai's face was calm, "Boss Zhong likes to worry about others. Your Mr. Song is still upstairs in the card room. Do you want to go over and give him a surprise?"
Zhong Ling was slightly startled. She had no idea that Song Yueting was at the Xingshi Teahouse tonight.
"Then I have to go over and have a look."
"I happen to know those two ladies."
"What lady?" Zhong Ling asked without embarrassment.
Gu Qingdai pretended to be innocent, "Where do I know where to go? She seems to be a dancer in the Hongmen Ballroom? Don't tell me, Mr. Song has good taste, and I am jealous of that figure."
Zhong Ling immediately ceased his activities, and the energy he had just now to watch the excitement without taking it too seriously had disappeared without any trace.
"Let's go, Boss Zhong, I'll take you there."
"No, I feel a little unwell and I have to go home early."
How dare Zhong Ling disturb Song Yueting's situation?
If she pretends not to know, she can still secure her position as the "main palace", but if she breaks in carelessly, the consequences will be disastrous.
Gu Qingdai was furious and had no place to quench her anger. This time, it was Zhong Ling who came to her door. She must not let her off lightly.
"If you feel unhappy, you must let Mr. Song know. Otherwise, if Mr. Song blames me for not telling you, how can I afford it?"
Gu Qingdai immediately led her up the steps. Seeing Zhong Ling squirming, he simply grabbed her arm and wrist and pulled her into the card room with a smile on her face.
Song Yueting was being fed cakes by one of the dancers. When he saw Gu Qingdai bringing Zhong Ling in, her face remained calm and her heart did not beat. However, the two dancers looked a little unnatural on their faces.
Gu Qingdai brought the person there, said a few polite words, and prepared to close the door and leave.
Song Yueting glanced at Zhong Ling, who was in a daze, and guessed that Gu Qingdai did it deliberately.
He skipped over Zhong Ling and asked Gu Qingdai: "Shopkeeper Gu, sit down and do two laps?"
The man sitting opposite Song Yueting quickly stood up, saying that he was going outside for convenience, and asked Gu Qingdai to help him for a while.
Before Gu Qingdai could agree, he had already rushed out of the door, running faster than a rabbit.
"I really don't know how. Why should Mr. Song make things difficult for me? Why don't we just let Boss Zhong take over?"
Zhong Ling wanted to find a place for herself to get off the stairs, but just when she was about to say that she was not good at playing mahjong, Song Yueting gave her a shut-up look.
"It doesn't matter if Shopkeeper Gu doesn't want to play. It's okay to sit down and have a chat, right?"
Gu Qingdai thought that with so many people present, Song Yueting wouldn't be able to do anything extraordinary, so she nodded and sat down.
On the other hand, Zhong Ling was confused about whether to leave or stay. She hated Gu Qingdai so much that she had to embarrass her to be satisfied, right?
It was one of the dancers who offered her seat to Zhong Ling, which relieved her a little bit of embarrassment.
"I'm going to hold a Miss Luancheng beauty pageant. Is Shopkeeper Gu interested in participating?"
"Beauty contest?" Gu Qingdai is not interested in this, she is only interested in making money.
Song Yueting touched the mahjong lines in his hand and said, "As long as they live in Luancheng, girls over fifteen years old can participate. There are no specific requirements. Of course, those who are knowledgeable and capable will be better suited to advance."
"The main reason is that our Mr. Song is generous and has set up a high bonus. We are all very excited." Another dancer chatted with a smile, her eyes filled with admiration for Song Yueting.
"The venue is Mr. Song's Yuemen Ballroom, right?"
Song Yueting knew that Gu Qingdai could guess that he liked to deal with smart women.
Gu Qingdai already understood what Song Yueting was thinking. He wanted to build momentum for his Yuemen Dance Hall.
Through the beauty pageant, one is to improve the level of Yuemen Dance Hall, and the other is to identify suitable candidates to be dancers.
It's the same as Lian Beichuan's Chamber of Commerce Party. It has to be said that the two of them are more calculating than the other.
Letting Lian Beichuan take the lead, Song Yueting had been depressed for the entire Spring Festival, so he was determined to make a big splash this time.
"That's right, Shopkeeper Gu, do you want to sign up?"
"What's wrong with me? I don't know how to play, play, or sing. I can't even play music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. I'd better let Boss Zhong participate. It's easy for me to support him if I'm my own person."
Song Yueting pinched Zhong Ling's cheek affectionately like he was teasing a kitten or puppy, "She is so busy singing and acting every day. I can't bear to let her do other things."
Gu Qingdai glanced sideways at Song Yueting, "Mr. Song must be feeling sorry for Boss Zhong, don't you think it's hard for me to run the teahouse all day long?"
"How can it be the same? Shopkeeper Gu, I guarantee that it will be beneficial for you to participate."
"I can't afford any benefits." Gu Qingdai stood up slowly, intending to end the conversation.
"It's like advertising your Lion Dance Tea House. Why can't shopkeeper Gu understand this?" Song Yueting put a long leg across the road and stopped Gu Qingdai.
"I appreciate Mr. Song's kindness, but I'm not born to be on the stage."
Song Yueting felt that he had heard a big joke and that Gu Qingdai was a little too self-effacing.
"Are you unaware of your own beauty?"
Gu Qingdai stepped over Song Yueting's lap and left the card room.
Not to mention that she couldn't figure out the reason why Song Yueting asked her to participate, it was that she understood what Song Yueting was thinking about and she didn't have the slightest desire for the beauty pageant.
"Shopkeeper Gu, why did you come out?" Huo Jie guarded the door anxiously.
When Gu Qingdai saw Huo Jie, she knew that there must be news about Fu Yanli from Lian Beichuan.
"I just want to deal with Song Yueting."
"Then would you like to go out with me? The second master is waiting for you."
Gu Qingdai followed silently, and Huo Jie briefly explained the matter on the way.
Even Lian Beichuan sent people to look for Fu Yanli in Luancheng University for many days, and finally caught him in a small inn on the other side of the pier.
It was basically the same as what he predicted in advance. He didn't even admit to knowing Qu Biqian, let alone defrauding her of her money.
In an abandoned dyeing compound in the suburbs, Gu Qingdai and Lian Beichuan met.
"With people inside, you can do whatever you want with them."
Lian Beichuan said it very lightly, which shocked Gu Qingdai.
She had never seen this side of Lian Beichuan before, and thought he only dominated the shopping mall.
"You're not going to silence him, are you?"
Lian Beichuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, "If I want to silence you, I'll kill you first. This place has no front and no shops. No one can come to save you even if you scream until your throat is broken." This chapter has been completed!
