Chapter 514 Hope
Zhou Haoran felt a little offended. "The leaders came to solve problems for the troupe. How did they become lecherous men?"

"I've seen it all before!"

Li Shen curled her lip in disdain.

Zhou Haoran coughed and said, "This time is different."

"Come on, I'll take you to see some pretty girls. Once we're there, you can hide to the side. If anyone asks, just say you're my brother."

Zhou Haoran chuckled and said, "Why are you acting like a thief?"

"Someone is up to no good."

Li Shen said in a low voice.

Zhou Haoran was confused. "What trouble?"

Li Shen said sarcastically, "It's been almost half a year, and the salaries haven't been paid in full. I heard that the leaders came this time, and the whole troupe is taking it very seriously. They even changed their practice clothes to new ones."

"Is he going to complain to the boss?"

"Hmm, the leader who came this time must be someone special. We should seize the opportunity to raise our concerns."

"You've got guts."

Zhou Haoran couldn't help but laugh.

Li Shen snorted, "Either erupt in shouts, or die in silence."

To see beautiful women, one should mainly go to the dance troupe.

Put on a tight-fitting workout outfit...

It's even more exquisite than yoga pants.

However, instead of practicing dancing, everyone gathered together to write simple banners.

One A4 sheet of paper for each person.

Write one word on each sheet of paper.

When the leader arrived, everyone stood in a row and held up their papers, which together formed a sentence.

Zhou Haoran leaned over and took a look.

Startled.

"Unpaid wages are intolerable; seeking justice is imperative."

That's quite radical.

If this banner is hung up, it will likely cause a lot of trouble for the young dancers in the dance troupe if they want to become full-fledged members or get promoted in the future.

"Ladies, if you ask me, shouldn't we hold off on this for now?"

Zhou Haoran quickly called a halt.

Who is not erect?

A round-faced girl turned around and glanced at him.

Another short-haired girl jokingly said, "You can't get it?"

"what?"

Zhou Haoran thought these artists were really open-minded.

Li Shen quickly stepped forward and said unhappily, "Alright, Xiaoya, you're the captain, so say less. This is my brother."

"Your younger brother?" Captain Xiaoya looked Zhou Haoran up and down, then chuckled and said, "He's quite handsome."

"That is."

Li Shen was very pleased with himself and winked at him.

Zhou Haoran wasn't there to pick out beauties. He said seriously, "Girls, if you ask me, put all this stuff away for now. It's just unpaid wages, how much are you owed?"

Xiaoya said angrily, "They've owed me three months' salary, and they only pay me 80% of my salary each month. My monthly salary is only 900 yuan, and they still owe me 200 yuan every month."

Zhou Haoran nodded. "This income is a bit low."

“Yes, we can’t live like this anymore.” Xiaoya was very distressed. “Those with connections have all been transferred to military art troupes, and the more capable ones have gone abroad to make big money.”

Zhou Haoran asked, "Who is it?"

“The principal dancer!” Xiaoya said another familiar name, “Tan Yuanyuan, she used to perform on the Spring Festival Gala, and now she’s in America and has become a world-class dancer.”

Zhou Haoran said, "Then you can't bring up these things; that's a mistake."

Captain Xiaoya said angrily, "Fine, I'll just quit! Sister Li Shen, didn't you say you have a friend who owns a teahouse where waiters earn 2500 yuan a month? I might as well become a waiter!"

Li Shen covered her mouth, glanced at Zhou Haoran, and said with a grin, "That's a high-end teahouse."

“I know it’s a high-end teahouse, catering to big bosses.” Team leader Xiaoya was really planning something. “Sister Li Shen, why don’t you help me get in touch with your friend? Since it’s a high-end teahouse catering to wealthy people, it would be even more attractive if it had a small dance troupe. Our team will go together!”

Zhou Haoran frowned slightly, "Captain Xiaoya, dance is an art, it should..."

"How can the dignity of art withstand the pressure of survival?"

Captain Xiaoya seems to have been pushed to the limit.

Zhou Haoran paused for a moment, then slowly said, "I heard that the leaders came here this time to further promote the cooperation between the art troupe and Hongxing TV, and they will offer more opportunities to our dance team."

Xiaoya sighed softly, "It's not that easy."

Li Shen hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "I asked Sister Xiao Chen before if 'Art for All' could give these girls in the dance team a chance, and she said it would be difficult. This is professional dance, very elegant and highly artistic, and ordinary people can't understand it. 'Art for All' is a stage for ordinary people, and it's all about popular programs and performances, so professional dance isn't suitable."

"If 'Everyone's Artistic Journey' isn't enough, there are other programs! There's 'Five-Star Award Synthesis Challenge,' 'Happy Family,' 'Happy Spinning Wheel,' 'Brainstorming,' and even 'Meet on Saturday.'"

It's fine if Zhou Haoran didn't get to see him.

he came.

Seeing these beautiful young girls in the dance troupe risking their lives by displaying banners during an inspection by their superiors just to get some wages, I felt a pang of sympathy.

We must lend a helping hand.

Captain Xiaoya was taken aback by him, "Who are you?"

Li Shen laughed, "He's my brother! You've come to the right place by trusting him!" "What do you do?"

Captain Xiaoya blinked, and the dancers from her three teams all gathered around, their eyes filled with anticipation.

Zhou Haoran sighed inwardly.

Faced with the desires of these eighteen- or nineteen-year-old girls, it's truly impossible to harden one's heart. Even the groin can't harden. Anyone who takes advantage of their innocence and basic needs for a living to make unreasonable demands is no different from an animal.

"I'm the leader, I'll solve your problems."

Zhou Haoran clenched his fist.

"puff!"

"Ha ha!"

"Sister Li Shen, your brother is really interesting!"

What kind of leader are you?

"Could it be that he saw Captain Xiaoya is pretty and is trying to seduce her?"

"I'll even take advantage of you," Captain Xiaoya said boldly, head held high, "as long as you pay us our wages!"

"I'll pay! I definitely will!" Zhou Haoran ignored the girls' teasing and took the matter seriously. "By the end of this month, all the back wages will be paid in full!"

Captain Xiaoya chuckled and said, "Do you have the final say?"

Zhou Haoran said, "I came here to resolve this matter! Don't hold up the banners yet. With me here, you can rest assured!"

The girls burst into laughter again.

However, the laughter stopped half an hour later.

They all stared wide-eyed.

Zhou Haoran appeared in a different guise.

Accompanied by the troupe's director, deputy director, and two principal dancers, Zhou Haoran made a solemn appearance.

An introduction.

I only found out then that this younger brother was actually the boss's boss.

He is the deputy head of the arts troupe, the superior unit of the song and dance troupe, and all eight troupes are under his jurisdiction.

Zhou Haoran made his appearance.

Seeing that the dance team didn't have any banners, he breathed a sigh of relief and gave Captain Xiaoya a smile.

Captain Xiaoya's eyes were glistening, and her eyes were red-rimmed.

I feel like this leader is different.

The dance troupe has a total of 135 members.

Everyone is there.

Instead of sitting high on the stage in the conference room, Zhou Haoran went to the training room and stood close to everyone.

"My name is Zhou Haoran. I am here to work at the troupe on behalf of Shan Wendong, the chairman of Red Star Media."

"My job mainly consists of two things."

"First, pay up!"

"Over the past period, Asia has experienced a severe economic crisis, which has also spread domestically. This has resulted in many people not receiving their full salaries, causing hardship for many. This problem must be solved! I promise that by the end of this month, we will have paid all the back wages!"

Zhou Haoran immediately made a huge promise.

Even Gu Dandan, the regimental commander who accompanied him, clapped excitedly along with him.

The people in the arts troupe are only good at doing arts.

In the new environment of a market economy, we really need a capable person to lead everyone forward.

Zhou Haoran continued, "Secondly, it's about providing opportunities for our artists to pursue their dreams. The initial plan is to collaborate deeply with Red Star TV to promote our outstanding actors to television programs..."

Everyone was so excited.

He was interrupted by a burst of applause before he could finish speaking.

How many years!

The appearance of Deputy Regiment Commander Zhou gave them hope again.

Many of the young actors, in particular, were moved to tears.

It felt like a great savior had appeared.

Li Shen's eyes were also a little red.

She initially didn't think much of Zhou Haoran.

I also don't understand why Sister Yangyang and Sister Xiaochen wanted to become disciples.

At that moment, she seemed to have a feeling.

I truly felt the strong personal charm emanating from him.

“I know many people want to leave, want to transfer to other units, or even resign.” Zhou Haoran’s style is completely different from other leaders; he is a market-oriented manager. “I have a request now: please give me three years! Within three years, I guarantee that I will give our eight affiliated troupes a real and clear answer! I want everyone to have both money and opportunities!”

Another round of thunderous applause followed.

What normal leader would dare to make such empty promises?
If you can't do it, you have to take responsibility.

Zhou Haoran didn't mind.

He came to the arts troupe to do things, not to occupy positions and seize power.

"Finally, I have one last project to arrange for everyone." Zhou Haoran decided to personally contribute some money to the troupe. "Recently, I intend to organize an arts performance to promote the development of the private economy in the port area, and I will invite well-known entrepreneurs from the port region. I hope that our dance troupe can select a number of high-quality programs to showcase our talent!"

"Huh?" Gu Dandan was taken aback. She had never received such a request before, and quickly asked, "Commander Zhou, I don't know about this task. Taking on a project requires funding."

Zhou Haoran said, "Wait for my arrangements."
