Yu Niaoniao asked, “Why not?”
Zheng Changle advised earnestly.
“Did Liu Qirui not tell you about the situation with Qirui Opera Troupe?”
“Not only had their opera troupe offended the influential people in the capital, but they also owed a lot of debt.”
“The celebrities and musicians the troupe had spent a lot of effort nurturing had all run away. Now, their opera troupe could not even afford a servant.”
“Now that you’ve taken over Qirui Opera Troupe, not only do you have to help them pay their debts, but you also have to prevent the dignitaries from looking for trouble again.”
“In addition, they had to pay a high price to poach people elsewhere and find a new venue…”
“Are you sure you can bear such a heavy burden?”
“Taking a step back, even if you really carried it, you could not guarantee that Qirui Opera Troupe would definitely become popular in the future.”
“Taking another step back, even if Qirui Opera Troupe was really lucky and popular, it would be difficult to fill in the amount of money you had invested in a short time.”
“Even if you just recoup your capital, it would take a long time. Why? You don’t have to torture yourself like this at all!”
Yu Niaoniao extended a finger and said unhurriedly.
“First, I’m not afraid of the powerful. If anyone dares to come looking for trouble, I can beat them up.”
“Second, I’ve already paid off all the debts owed by Qirui Opera Troupe.”
“Third, don’t you have famous actors here? Don’t forget that you promised to give Ye Yin to me.”
Zheng Changle looked at her in shock.
For a moment, he didn’t know whether to complain that she was too rich or that she wasn’t afraid of death.
Zheng Changle persuaded him for a long time.
His mouth was dry, but Yu Niaoniao still refused to change her mind.
No matter how he calculated, he did not expect to misjudge Yu Niaoniao in the end.
This person looked like he was focused on earning money, but he was actually a naive and stubborn fellow.
His father had told him before that such people were the hardest to deal with.
Naive people had a unique set of values. Money could not move them. Coupled with stubbornness, it was simply hopeless.
Zheng Changle could only admit defeat.
“Alright, if you want to keep the Qirui Opera Troupe, keep it. In the future, if you feel that you can’t hold on anymore, you can come to me anytime. I’ll still increase the price by 30%. I won’t go back on my word.”
He was certain that Qirui Opera Troupe would not last long. In the end, Qirui Opera Troupe would still fall into the hands of his family.
Yu Niaoniao smiled. “That day won’t come.”
At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open and Wei Liao walked in.
He immediately saw the two huge dark circles under Yu Niaoniao’s eyes and asked.
“Did you go thieving last night?”
Yu Niaoniao rolled her eyes at him. “That’s right. I went to your house to steal something. Hurry up and report it to the authorities and arrest me.” Wei Liao laughed. “I’m an official. I can arrest you now.”
Yu Niaoniao extended her hands. “Don’t just say it. Catch me now.”
She was sure that the other party was just having fun with his mouth. He definitely wouldn’t really arrest her.
Unexpectedly, Wei Liao really took out a set of iron chains.
Seeing this, Yu Niaoniao retracted her claws.
“Are you serious?”
Wei Liao smiled faintly. “Since you admit that you’re a thief, of course, I have to arrest you.”
Yu Niaoniao retorted, “Then if I say that I’m your ancestor, will you immediately kneel down and kowtow to me three times?”
Wei Liao sized her up and sneered, “With someone like you, you’re more like a foot-washing maid to my ancestor.”
Yu Niaoniao mocked, “You’re paranoid at such a young age. How pitiful!”
Zheng Changle found it very interesting to listen to the two of them bicker.
This was much more interesting than listening to a play!
Wei Liao noticed that there was still an onlooker beside him and immediately changed his target to Zheng Changle.
“Didn’t Brother Yu only invite me? Why is Brother Zheng here?”
Zheng Changle smiled and explained, “I’m here to discuss something with Brother Yu.”
Wei Liao sat down in the empty seat beside him and asked with a faint smile.
“Are you done discussing?”
Zheng Changle felt a chill down his spine from his gaze and immediately stood up. “We’re almost done talking. I’ll leave now. Enjoy your chat.”
Yu Niaoniao stopped him. “You haven’t given me a definite answer about Ye Yin. Is he coming or not?”
Zheng Changle said truthfully, “I’ve already told Ye Yin about this. He agreed immediately. He said that he’s very grateful to you for taking him in. He can go on stage to perform at any time.”
If it were in the past, it would definitely cost a lot of money to poach Ye Yin.
But things were different now.
Now that everyone knew that Ye Yin had been imprisoned in the Justice Department, who would dare to take him in? He was already very satisfied as long as he could have a place to stay.
Yu Niaoniao asked Ye Yin about his recent health and learned that he was almost better, so she said, “Get Ye Yin to pack up. He can come with me to Qirui Opera Troupe later.”
Zheng Changle nodded in agreement.
After Zheng Changle left, only Yu Niaoniao and Wei Liao were left in the private room.
Wei Liao leaned back in his chair and crossed his legs.
“Why did you call me here?”
Yu Niaoniao took out the proposal and placed it on the table.
“This is the proposal for the revival of Qirui Opera Troupe. Take a look.” Wei Liao did not take the proposal. His eyes were still on Yu Niaoniao.
“You didn’t sleep last night just to write this?”
Yu Niaoniao said stubbornly, “How is that possible? I casually wrote this plan. Why would I need to spend the entire night?”
“What’s with the dark circles on your face?”
Yu Niaoniao forced a quibble. “Didn’t I say it just now? I didn’t sleep well last night. Cut the crap and quickly read the proposal. If there’s a problem, tell me now. I’ll change it for you immediately.”
It was not fun being Party B. When she became rich in the future, she would also be a party A!
Wei Liao picked up the proposal and read it.
Based on Yu Niaoniao’s understanding of him, this fellow would definitely seize the opportunity to find fault with her. She might have to work overtime to change the proposal when she returned today.
Yu Niaoniao was prepared to face the sarcasm.
Unexpectedly, Wei Liao only casually flipped through two pages. Then, he took out the personal seal he carried with him and stamped the end of the proposal. He then put the mud to his finger and pressed his handprint on it.
After doing this, he wiped his fingers with a silk handkerchief, took out a stack of banknotes, and threw them in front of Yu Niaoniao. “Three thousand taels, is that enough?”
Yu Niaoniao did not react and looked at him in a daze.
Was she dreaming?
Did this guy actually pay so decisively?
Wei Liao knocked on the table and urged impatiently.
“Say something!”
Yu Niaoniao came back to her senses and hurriedly picked up the banknotes.
“That’s enough money.”
Wei Liao nodded and put the proposal into his pocket. “Then that’s it. Take the money and go back to sleep. Be careful not to die suddenly.”
With that, he got up and left.
Yu Niaoniao quickly stopped him. “You can’t take the plan with you!”
However, Wei Liao didn’t seem to hear her. He walked quickly and left the private room in the blink of an eye..
