Five babies in one pregnancy, I became a top performer in a military hospital.

From the moment the members of their performing arts troupe arrived, they were assigned to the basement, and even now, they're not allowed to use the toilets upstairs.

The attitude of that woman from the drama troupe just now clearly shows their differential treatment.

Yu Wanqing wasn't afraid of Lu Yao, after all, Fu Yuanzheng wasn't here right now, and this was her territory.

Yu Wanqing: "Did you do it on purpose? You begged to come and participate in our drama troupe's stage play, and we're already being generous by arranging accommodations for you."

Lu Yao: "Stage plays are indeed very important to us, but they were personally selected by Teacher Yu Jianjun, and there wasn't even the most basic courtesy shown to guests."

Although Lu Yao had only known Teacher Yu Jianjun for a short time, she could tell from his attitude of personally picking them up that Teacher Yu Jianjun was not that kind of person.

It must have been Yu Wanqing who did it. Otherwise, why would only Zhou Yang's room be upstairs, and such a nice single room at that?

Yu Wanqing: "If you're not satisfied, you can move out and rent your own place. If you want to live here, go to the basement!"

After Xu Jingyi came up, she looked around at several rooms, some of which were empty.

Xu Jingyi: "Where is your general affairs officer? It's that Sister Yu from earlier!"

Hearing the noise, the members of the drama troupe all came out of their dormitories.

"Why are you looking for us in general affairs? We're busy!"

"Exactly, it's good enough to have a place to stay. People who came to our drama troupe temporarily in the past also lived in the basement."

"You're begging our drama troupe to perform, so you should have the attitude of someone asking for a favor. Do you think you're here to enjoy yourself?"

"Yes, if you're not going to perform far, then get out! We don't need more people!"

"Wanqing, what are you explaining to them? If they don't want to stay, they can just rent a place elsewhere!"

……

Xu Jingyi frowned and looked at Xu Dandan: "Dandan, do you know where Sister Yu lives?"

Xu Dandan nodded: "I know, it's right at the entrance on the first floor."

Xu Dandan pointed to the end of the corridor.

Lu Yao looked over and remembered that when she came to that place, it was Teacher Yu Jianjun who dropped them off downstairs.

Clearly, Teacher Yu Jianjun arranged for them to live in the better dormitories.

Just then, Zhao Xiaotang came out.

As soon as Zhao Xiaotang came out, the comrades from the drama troupe next to her exclaimed in surprise.

"Who gave you permission to use our upstairs bathroom? Did you even clean it?"

Zhao Xiaotang: "You guys are going too far. The downstairs bathroom is clogged. I just came to use the bathroom. Why can't I use it?"

Lu Yao approached Zhao Xiaotang and said, "In that case, let's go to the general affairs department to argue our case. If the drama troupe continues to treat us differently, we'll move out!"

Lu Yao brought a lot of money with her this time, which should be enough for everyone to rent a place to live outside.

Xu Jingyi: "Let's go, let's go now."

Then, the group of people from the cultural troupe headed towards the general affairs office of the dormitory.

Zhou Yang saw that all the comrades from the cultural troupe had gone, and although he lived upstairs, he felt that he shouldn't be separated from them.

We should all stand together through thick and thin.

Just as Zhou Yang was about to leave, Yu Wanqing stopped him.

"Zhou Yang, what are you doing? Your accommodations aren't bad; this is the best room I've saved for you."

Zhou Yang scoffed, "I'm not worthy. You can leave the room for your own group!"

Zhou Yang glanced at the drama troupe members with a mocking look, then went straight back to his room, grabbed his luggage, and went with the cultural troupe.

At that moment, Yu Meijuan, who was having lunch, was on the phone.

We need to order breakfast for more people tomorrow, since some more members of the performing arts troupe have arrived.

"Yes, eight breakfasts. Nothing too fancy, they're not part of our drama troupe. Okay, I'll hang up now!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

As soon as Yu Meijuan came out, she saw Lu Yao and her group of performing arts troupe blocking the entrance.

"You need something from me?"

Xu Jingyi: "Yes, why are we treated differently? There are clearly empty rooms upstairs, but they arranged for us to stay in the basement."

Lu Yao: "Our comrades went to the restroom, and the drama troupe members actually stopped us. What does that mean?"

This was the first time Yu Meijuan had been questioned by an extra, and she glared angrily at everyone.

"Our drama troupe is short of accommodation. We're lucky if we can find a place to stay. In the past, all the comrades who came here were arranged to stay in temporary rooms in the basement."

Lu Yao: "Is this what Teacher Yu Jianjun meant?"

When Lu Yao questioned her, Yu Meijuan's eyes darted away.

Of course, the elder brother didn't say that; he also instructed Yu Meijuan to make proper arrangements for them.

But my older brother never gets involved in things at the dormitory.

Yu Meijuan sneered: "Yes, that's what he means. You can stay if you want, or you can rent a place elsewhere."

Lu Yao and Xu Jingyi looked at each other, realizing that this general affairs officer was in cahoots with Yu Wanqing.

Yu Wanqing must have spoken to the general affairs officer beforehand.

Xu Dandan: "Comrade Lu Yao, I think we should forget about it. We won't be here for long anyway."

Xu Jingyi: "We can't just let this go. This is treating our Jingbei Cultural Troupe like we're not human. Since that's the case, let's go rent a place to live."

Xu Dandan: "But it's so late..."

Lu Yao: "This is Beijing, there are plenty of hotels. We'll rent a place to stay. Who wants to come with us?"

Xu Jingyi: "Whoever wants to live in this shabby place can live there!"

Zhou Yang: "I'll go with you guys too!"

"Me too!"

"I've had enough! I can't even use a toilet!"

"These people in the drama troupe are just snobbish and look down on others!"

Seeing that the members of the performing arts troupe were all about to leave, Yu Meijuan sneered, "Fine, go stay elsewhere then, but let me make this clear beforehand: our drama troupe won't be providing you with food and lodging!"

Lu Yao: "It's none of your business!"

Lu Yao looked at the other comrades: "Everyone, take your luggage and let's meet at the entrance!"

So everyone went to get their luggage.

The other comrades who had been living here for a while also went to pack their luggage.

After Captain Xu Jingyi and Comrade Lu Yao arrived, they immediately had a pillar of support.

The members of their performing arts troupe advance together and retreat together; they are one.

Within twenty minutes, everyone had left the drama club's dormitory with their luggage.

Yu Wanqing, Yu Meijuan, and the others watched the group leave from the doorway, unable to resist making sarcastic remarks.

"If you have a place to stay and you're still being picky, then get out of here!"

"Exactly, do you think our drama troupe can just come and go as they please?"

"Finally, we're out of the loop. Don't be begging Sister Yu to come back!"

……

Yu Wanqing tried to persuade Zhou Yang to stay, but Zhou Yang left without looking back.

She was a little annoyed: "Auntie, I'm so angry! This Zhou Yang is so ungrateful."

Yu Meijuan patted her hand reassuringly: "What's the rush? They'll come back in a few days when they can't stand it anymore. Renting a place in Beijing is a huge expense."

Yu Wanqing: "I just watched as Lu Yao and the others came to beg my aunt!"

After the group gathered, Xu Jingyi counted the number of people.

All 13 people are here.

Xu Jingyi: "This stage play is a great opportunity, and I don't want to make things difficult for everyone. I will explain to Director Gu that the rent will be reimbursed when we get back."

Zhao Xiaotang: "But I didn't bring much money with me this time, I'm worried it won't be enough!"

Lu Yao: "Don't worry, everyone. I brought it. I'll pay for the rent first, and when we get back, I'll just go with Comrade Xu to Commander Gu for reimbursement."

Zhao Xiaotang: "That's wonderful! You wouldn't believe how much the drama troupe is wasting; they've been trying to trip us up in every way possible!"

Xu Dandan: "Teacher Yu has rarely been at the drama troupe lately, so we haven't been able to explain the situation to her."

Lu Yao: "It's alright now. We're all together, so we can look after each other. Right now, we need to find a hotel to stay in."

So the group left the drama troupe.
