Chapter 28 Signing a contract with Weimeilou with favorable treatment

I still remember that when I was in Desheng Building, the servant who cleaned the doors and windows once drove me away!
After hearing what Li Yaoguang said, Shopkeeper Qian's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right, sir, you have a good memory, you are right, Qian is the owner of the Weimei Building opposite Desheng Building."

"Oh, hello, Mr. Qian."

Li Yaoguang also remembered it, but he didn't have any bad feelings towards Weimeilou.

Although the waiter inside also despised her young age when she came to the house, he did not speak harshly to her or drive her away. Instead, he told her apologetically that they did not do such gimmicks in the building, and would not hire any storytellers to send her out with gifts.

For this reason, Li Yaoguang had a good attitude towards the owner of Weimeilou. After all, like master leads like subordinates, right?

The second brother is a good person, so the boss is probably not wrong either.

Sure enough, she heard the fat shopkeeper Qian in front of her smiling and greeting her politely.

"Haha, sir, you are too polite. To be honest, I came here today with the sincere intention of inviting you to live in my Weimei Building and tell you the story of this monkey. I wonder if you can give me this opportunity?
Sir, rest assured. Although I am not talented, I have a good reputation in Outer East City. I will not bully you just because you are young. If you are willing to agree, I am willing to pay you ten taels a month to hire you as the manager. All the rewards you get in the building will belong to you. We will never take a penny from you. Moreover, we will provide you with tea and food while you are telling stories, so that you will feel at home.
Could you please consider it and give our Wei Mei Lou a chance? "

Old swan!
There was actually a restaurant that invited her to be a storyteller, and they were so polite and courteous and came to invite her sincerely! Of course Li Yaoguang was tempted.

It's good to tell stories at a stall in Wa Lane, and there are a lot of customers, but it's hard to stand in the wind and rain, and she still has to rely on daily tips from listeners depending on their mood. The income is not stable at all, and it's hard for her to run back and forth every day.

But it is different to tell stories in a restaurant. You don't have to go out in the wind and rain, you don't have to worry about the income being low on certain days with few people, you don't have to worry about street bullies and runners, and you don't have to pay any fees.

You know, a few days ago, the head of the circus came to ask her if she had received any money, and only gave her half a month's travel expenses since she started telling stories, and she took two taels of silver. That was two taels! It hurt her so much.

Now someone comes to invite me, offering me ten taels of silver per month, a guaranteed income, and the reward is my own, not to mention that they also provide meals. Wow, with such good treatment, why would I need a bicycle? Go, I must go!
But before I go... Since the other party has invited me, I have to hold my face. Although I don't want to make things difficult for others, I still have to fight for the protection I should fight for. It's not because I'm dissatisfied with the price, but...

"Boss Qian, you can let me go to Weimeilou to tell stories, and I am satisfied with the treatment. However, if I accept the invitation, I have a few small requests. I wonder if Boss Qian can agree to them?"

"Sir, it doesn't matter."

"That is, once I move into your building, you are not allowed to ask me to accompany you for drinks, guests, or chat in any form... I am not like a geisha, and I will never enter the mansion to entertain the rich and powerful. No more episodes will be added, and the plot will not be revealed in advance. No one can break this rule. I can only do two shows a day, and each show can only be two episodes. This is not negotiable. Shopkeeper Qian, do you accept this condition?"

Shopkeeper Qian looked at the little man in front of him, thinking that the little guy had quite a few requirements and rules. However, his Weimeilou was not a den of tigers and wolves. He just didn't entertain guests and was not afraid of power. He thought that he should lay out the rules first. With his own reputation over the years and the character of the guests who came to the restaurant, there should be no problem.

He wasn't afraid of accepting the above, the only thing he cared about was...

"Sir, everything else is easy to discuss. We are not a shady place. Since you have said so before, if you don't want to, Qian will respect your wishes. But the only thing is that we can only have two shows a day. Can we discuss it again?"

If possible, according to him, this book is a hundred times better than the General's Order in the shabby building opposite, and it should be read from morning to night. How can two sessions be enough?
Li Yaoguang immediately understood what the other party meant. She was particularly insistent on this point. However, since the other party sincerely invited her, Li Yaoguang was willing to explain it to him. "To be honest, Shopkeeper Qian, it's not that I asked for too much. I only agreed to two games a day. It's really that I have my own difficulties.

Firstly, I am young and not perfect. In order to present the story better to the audience, I have to practice the content of the two episodes every day in advance, which is quite time-consuming.

Secondly, the situation at home is not convenient. Because I am young, my elders are worried that I will stay outside for too long. If I spend too much time, they may not allow me to go out again. So please understand, Shopkeeper Qian. I can only give two speeches at most every day. "

"Is that so..." Seeing Li Yaoguang's firm and resolute attitude, he said, "Alright, two sessions, but my Weimei Lou has limited time for guests. Sir, can you split the two sessions? For example, the first session at lunch time, and the second session at dinner time?"

"Between dinner and dinner?" Wouldn't that mean it would be dark already?

You know, Weimeilou is in the East Outer City, but she lives in the West Inner City, which is quite far away. If she goes there for dinner at night, what time will she go home?

Although the servants of the Marquis' Mansion did not leave the keys in the courtyard, it would still be unsafe if it was too late, right? Li Yaoguang hesitated again.

Seeing Li Yaoguang hesitate, Shopkeeper Qian secretly thought that it was not good. He was anxious and angry and really didn't want to give up, so he hurriedly asked, "Why, sir, do you still have difficulties? What difficulties are there? Please tell me. As long as Qian can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you."

This made Li Yaoguang feel very embarrassed, but she still said: "It's not because of anything else. If the second show is held between dinner and dinner, I'm afraid it will be too late for me to go home."

Late? "Sir, you may be too young to know this, right? Our Dajing Capital is a well-known city that never sleeps. There is no curfew at all. How can it be late? It's not late, not at all."

Uh, it's still a city that never sleeps? But even if it's a city that never sleeps, she can't stay out all night, otherwise, she might scare her aunt to death.

After thinking about it, Li Yaoguang still shook his head. "Although it is a city that never sleeps, I still say the same thing. I am young, and my elders at home are worried. Besides, my home is in the inner city of West, which is not close to your building. If I go back after the nightclub, I am afraid I will get home in the middle of the night. It is really not possible."

"In, in West Inner City?"

My goodness, this little guy in front of me must be the son of some powerful family, right?
If so? Tsk tsk tsk... Never mind, since they are still from West Inner City, we should build a good relationship with them.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Qian waved his hand and made the announcement without thinking twice.

"Sir, don't worry. If you agree to my invitation, you are afraid of being late or dangerous. Don't worry. We have our own carriage. Although it is not luxurious, we are willing to serve you. So, if you accept my invitation, from now on, we will take you back and forth every day. How about that?"

Oh, and there's a BMW car to pick you up every day?
That's of course good!
