Chapter 933: A Very Meaningful Idea!

Li Youyou pulled Xue Ying slightly and suggested in a low voice, "The Provincial Song and Dance Troupe has charity performances every year; actually, I think Dayu County is a good choice."

Tang Ye's eyes lit up, "Troupe Leader Xue, Teacher Li has put forward a very meaningful idea. On behalf of the hundreds of thousands of common people, I sincerely welcome you all to come to Dayu County for a charity performance."

Xue Ying was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "That's possible. However, it needs to go through the proper procedures."

Tang Ye struck while the iron was hot, "I will submit the application report tomorrow."

Xue Ying glanced at Chen Xiang, "General Manager Chen, are you interested in participating?"

Chen Xiang said with high emotional intelligence, "If there is any place where I am needed, I will certainly do my utmost."

Cai Zhengqing was unwilling to be left out and said with a smile, "I have a suggestion: use the E-commerce cooperation project between Zhengding County and Dayu County as an opportunity to hold a cultural and artistic performance. This way, not only can we do charity, but we can also promote the region and the project."

Tang Ye secretly thought that Cai Zhengqing really knew how to seize every opportunity, and said with a smile, "Now it just depends on whether Troupe Leader Xue is willing to take it on."

Xue Ying raised her wine glass, "Tomorrow we will first come up with a preliminary plan, then discuss the feasibility."

For Xue Ying, this was also an unexpected joy.

In terms of official duty, poverty alleviation and charity work could serve as a highlight of her work.

In terms of personal interest, if there were corporate sponsorship, it could provide an unexpected income for the song and dance troupe.

The actors of the Provincial Song and Dance Troupe sounded very impressive in name, but in fact, they received a fixed monthly salary of about seven or eight thousand yuan.

Although this was far higher than the income of ordinary common people, the employees of the song and dance troupe pursued a quality of life, and relying solely on their base salary was not enough to satisfy their inner needs.

They would occasionally take on side gigs, performing on large stages, earning five or six hundred yuan a day.

If they held a formal performance, they could get an appearance fee of at least two or three thousand.

Moreover, on "wild stages" like the large stage, one had to cater to the audience's preferences and dance dances they were not passionate about.

……

Walking out of the private room, Xue Ying said softly, "We still have to go to private room 88 to toast later. Youyou, you should toast Haibin when the time comes."

A complex look appeared in Li Youyou's eyes, "Troupe Leader Xue, can I not go? I'm a little scared."

Xue Ying smiled bitterly, "Haibin still has a lot of influence in the cultural circle, and he gives the troupe a lot of sponsorship funds every year. There is a training project in Europe next year, and Haibin is an important sponsor."

Hearing these words from Xue Ying, a flash of jealousy crossed Yin Hong's eyes, "Youyou, as far as I know, Haibin has invested in an entertainment company. If he pursues you, it will be good for your career."

Li Youyou shook her head, "This kind of person falls in love with everyone he sees; I don't like him."

Yin Hong said complexly, "How many men have status and position while also being devoted and loyal? I think you are just setting your standards too high."

Li Youyou curled her lips, "You call this setting my standards too high?"

Yin Hong stopped discussing this matter with Li Youyou, her mind constantly circling around the training project Xue Ying had just mentioned.

There were so many people in the troupe; the spots were definitely very scarce.

From childhood to adulthood, Yin Hong's biggest dream was to go abroad and see the outside world.

Yin Hong found it hard to understand Li Youyou's persistence; it was just playing along, after all. If it were her, she would definitely be more proactive.

They arrived at private room 88.

Haibin had already drunk quite a bit of alcohol and was a little tipsy. Seeing Li Youyou, his eyes suddenly lit up; the girls in the room instantly turned into common, mediocre beauties at this moment.

Xue Ying sat down beside Haibin, "General Manager Hai, we have come to thank you for your patronage."

Liu Cheng instructed the people around him, "Open the wine, open the wine!"

Seeing Liu Cheng open a lot of wine all at once, Xue Ying was immediately a little surprised.

She knew that Liu Cheng's drinking habits were not particularly good, and after drinking too much, he would often cause a drunken scene.

However, Xue Ying could not stop the other party; after all, opening wine in the private room could increase performance figures.

Xue Ying gave Li Youyou a look, "Youyou, come and toast General Manager Hai."

Although Li Youyou hated Haibin in her bones, at this moment she was forced by circumstances. She picked up her wine glass and walked to Haibin's side, revealing a standard smile, "General Manager Hai, I toast you. Thank you for your patronage."

Haibin laughed heartily, and after clinking glasses with Li Youyou, he drank it in one gulp, "Youyou, I especially like your performance. Are you interested in participating in a variety show? I can help recommend you."

Li Youyou smiled faintly, "If General Manager Hai is willing to help me, I am of course grateful to you."

Haibin gave an evil, charming smile and stood up to fill three glasses of foreign liquor, "How about this: if you finish these three glasses, I will agree to it."

Li Youyou's heart tightened. Her alcohol tolerance was not very good; one glass was fine, but if three glasses went into her stomach, she would definitely be drunk.

"General Manager Hai, to tell you the truth, I haven't been feeling well these past few days and have been taking traditional Chinese medicine. That glass just now was already my limit."

Haibin pulled a long face and crossed his arms over his chest, "I am a relatively straightforward person. If someone respects me an inch, I will respect them a foot, but if you don't give me face, the consequences will be very serious."

Xue Ying felt uneasy and apologized with a smile, "General Manager Hai, Youyou has always had injuries from dancing and has been taking medicine, so she really cannot drink. Why don't I drink with you instead!"

Haibin said with displeasure, "Troupe Leader Xue, if you don't even give me this bit of face, then I will have to reconsider next year's project for the song and dance troupe!"

Xue Ying did not like Haibin's threatening tone.

However, she did not tear off the mask in public, and her eyes became cold.

Fearing that Xue Ying would be put in a difficult position, Li Youyou picked up the wine glass and finished the three glasses. When she drank the last one, she did it with great difficulty.

"General Manager Hai, I've finished!"

Haibin nodded with satisfaction, reached out to grab Li Youyou's arm, and said with a smile, "I really appreciate you. Your conditions are so good; as long as you are willing, I can cultivate you into a first-class star."

Li Youyou tried to pull her hand back, but it was held tightly by Haibin.

"Boss Hai, I am just a dance actor; I don't have too many extravagant hopes."

Haibin smiled, "Then I am the flame, specifically here to light up your life. Come, let me toast you again."

Li Youyou really couldn't drink anymore.

At this moment, Xue Ying hurriedly helped Li Youyou out of the situation.

"Let Youyou catch her breath; Yin Hong, you drink a glass with him!"

Yin Hong hurriedly seized the opportunity, picked up a wine glass, and sat down beside Haibin, "Boss Hai, I toast you a glass."

Xue Ying supported Li Youyou as she stood up and walked toward the door.

Once they were outside the door, Xue Ying said softly, "You've had too much to drink, hurry back!"

Li Youyou frowned and said, "If Haibin doesn't see me, will he give you a hard time?"

Xue Ying waved her hand, "You don't need to worry! I will handle it well."

Xue Ying was the deputy Troupe Leader of the song and dance troupe; although she had started a side business, Li Youyou was the star of the troupe and her own student, so she would not let Li Youyou be harmed.

Haibin appeared drunk, but in reality, he was very clear-headed.

Seeing Li Youyou leave, he knew she wanted to escape.

Therefore, he stood up and walked toward the door.
