Rebirth in the 90s: Her Counterattack and Redemption

Chapter 1209 - 722-724: Three-in-One Mega - 3

”21?”

”Ha ha ha...” Liu Yumei laughed, trembling all over, ”I’m already 25 this year. You really know how to make someone happy.”

”No, no, you really look like you’re just over 20. I never lie. Otherwise, I’d guess you were 18 or 19, right?”

”Okay, I believe you. By the way, why doesn’t this young lady like to talk?” Liu Yumei turned her gaze to Luo Ye.

”Luoluo is just that type of person. She talks more once she’s familiar. But this girl is kind-hearted and loyal; you’ll find out as time goes on.” Zhao Qianqian quickly chimed in.

”I like making friends with people like that. How old is the young lady?”

”Almost 20.”

”Ha ha ha... Generally, girls like to make themselves younger, but the young lady likes to make herself older. Well, at her age, she dares to do that. 19 is such an enviable good age.”

All the way to the canteen, Liu Yumei took the initiative to help them order the dishes. After sitting down, she lowered her voice: ”It’s not that I like to make decisions for you, but this canteen was contracted out to the director’s brother. People who don’t come often have no clue about the inside story. The dishes we’ve ordered are specially made for the Cultural Troupe; Mr. Yao specifically instructed it.”

”Oh oh oh, thank you, Sister Liu. We need Sister Liu to give us more guidance in the future.” Zhao Qianqian quickly expressed gratitude.

”Luo, your personality isn’t good.” Liu Yumei looked at Luo Ye, ”Sister is speaking from experience and honestly telling you, with your personality, Mr. Yao will definitely not like it.

In our troupe, although Mr. Wang is the official leader, Mr. Yao is the one who calls the shots. If he doesn’t approve, no one dares to act. If you don’t attract his favor, no one will dare to use you.

The young lady’s looks are incredibly rare, but this personality...” She paused for a moment and sighed softly, ”Sister’s words may not be pleasant to you, but losing this job would be a pity.”

”I know.” Luo Ye looked up from her plate at her, ”It’s better to talk less while eating, otherwise, it affects digestion.”

Liu Yumei was speechless for a while.

”Sister Liu, that’s just the way Luoluo is. She’s from the countryside. Her grandmother is very strict about manners, and talking is forbidden during meals. She’s gotten used to it. Don’t take it to heart.” Zhao Qianqian tried to smooth things over.

”From the countryside?” Liu Yumei raised her eyebrows, ”But her temperament is quite good.”

”Anyone in the Cultural Troupe has to have good temperament.”

”True, Qianqian, someone as savvy as you, how did you end up in this small place? I’m not gossiping, but before you were transferred here, word had spread in the troupe that you came down from the big troupe in Sha City. Honestly, it’s usually our people who get transferred out; higher-level units seldom send people down.

After all, you with your looks and personality are extremely rare. Seeing someone like you not being heavily utilized really seems unjust.”

”Sister Liu... You’re too kind.” Zhao Qianqian smiled bashfully, ”Sister Liu is straightforward, so I’ll be honest. Our troupe leader’s son is a leader in the city.

For some reason, rumors started that I took a liking to the troupe leader’s son. He came to the troupe for some business and chatted with me briefly, and then people exaggerated it when reporting.

Lin Tuanzhang spoke to me about it. He didn’t say much, but soon mentioned transferring me to Yuanzhou Mine Art Troupe. Luoluo stepped in to argue for me, and in the end, both of us were transferred together.”

”I see.” Liu Yumei nodded, speeding up her eating pace. Two minutes later, she stood up to leave, ”I have a bit of business to attend to. At 1:30 p.m., you guys should head to the main conference room; the troupe is holding a tea party for you.”

”Thanks a lot, Sister Liu.”

...

After the lunch break, Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian arrived at the main conference room early. Five minutes later, the troupe members gradually started to come in.

Their eyes on Luo Ye and Zhao Qianqian carried a hint of scrutiny.

Neither Luo Ye nor Zhao Qianqian was surprised by this attitude. Before coming, they had checked the Mine Art Troupe’s information. The troupe has twenty-five members in total, ten men and fifteen women; only five are around twenty years old, the rest are mostly in their thirties, forties, fifties.

Frankly speaking, any newly transferred young members would face resistance, let alone young and beautiful newcomers?

Even though they were demoted down here, they would still arouse jealousy.

For the troupe’s members, the competition is for the recognition of the troupe leaders. In terms of age and appearance, who’s more favored is clear at a glance.
