No one expected Yu Jianjun to come, and they all stood up in surprise.

Lu Yao: "Why are you here?"

Yu Jianjun came over: "Comrades, I am very sorry. It was my oversight. When I got back, I found that you were not there, so I came to look for you."

Lu Yao: "Teacher Yu, the accommodations arranged by the drama troupe... we plan to stay in hotels for the time being, and we hope you don't mind."

Yu Jianjun: "That won't do. I personally invited you back. How can you stay in a hotel? It's a mistake on the part of our drama troupe's general affairs department. I've already criticized her. Please come back with me, comrades!"

Lu Yao and the other comrades took a look.

Xu Jingyi: "Teacher Yu, are we going back or staying in the basement?"

Yu Jianjun: "Of course not. I specifically instructed them beforehand to reserve the best dormitories for you. It was my oversight. You've been away from the drama troupe for a while, so go back and I'll make new arrangements."

He was once the head of the cultural troupe; he was their former head.

There's a bond between them; if he can't get them back today, how will he explain it to Gu Jincheng, and how will he explain it to the performing arts troupe?

Lu Yao: "But we just booked a hotel, Teacher Yu, how about we go tomorrow?"

Yu Jianjun: "Since that's the case, then I'll pay for the hotel. None of you can take it from me. Otherwise, you'll be coming back with me tonight. As for the drama troupe, I'll have them pack up tonight, and I'll personally pick you up tomorrow!"

Since Yu Jianjun has put it this way, everyone knows the sincerity of Teacher Yu Jianjun.

Lu Yao: "Thank you, Teacher Yu. Have you eaten yet, Teacher Yu? Would you like to sit down and eat with us?"

Yu Jianjun had rushed back specifically to treat the members of the cultural troupe to a meal, so he came to the table.

Seeing him come over, Zhou Yang quickly brought a chair from next door and asked Yu Jianjun to sit down.

Yu Jianjun: "I originally rushed back to treat you to a meal. I'm so sorry for the trouble I've caused you."

Xu Jingyi: "It's good that Teacher Yu came. We were also very nervous. We attach great importance to this stage play. Thank you, Teacher Yu, for giving us this opportunity."

Yu Jianjun: "What are you saying? Actors and the stage complement each other. Without you, how could we have a good stage play? Thank you for coming. I'd like to toast you all!"

Yu Jianjun remembered that Director Li was still worried about the actors.

He understands all too well the importance of an actor.

Yu Jianjun's words reassured the members of the cultural troupe.

Everyone toasted Teacher Yu Jianjun.

After this meal, the relationship between the comrades in the cultural troupe and Yu Jianjun improved considerably.

Yu Jianjun recounted some interesting stories from his time in the cultural troupe, and mentioned that some of the older comrades had worked under him.

This meal took more than an hour to eat.

Seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, Yu Jianjun excused himself to go to the restroom and paid the bill.

When everyone got up to leave, Lu Yao went to pay the bill and found that Yu Jianjun had already paid.

Lu Yao approached Yu Jianjun and said, "Teacher Yu, thank you for spending so much money."

Yu Jianjun: "It's my duty. The drama troupe provides meals and accommodation, so you don't need to worry about food anymore."

Lu Yao: "Thank you, Teacher Yu!"

Yu Jianjun escorted everyone to the entrance of the hotel.

Yu Jianjun went to the front desk, paid the hotel bill, and then said goodbye to the comrades from the cultural troupe before leaving.

After Yu Jianjun left, Xu Jingyi, Lu Yao, and the others exchanged glances.

Xu Jingyi: "I knew Teacher Yu definitely didn't know about this."

Zhao Xiaotang: "It's a good thing you came. You have no idea how outrageous they are."

Xu Dandan: "Yes, it's getting cold now, and it's so cold sleeping in the basement at night."

Xu Jingyi: "Let's go back to the room and talk about it."

There were 13 people, and they booked six rooms.

Since there was one extra person, Lu Yao booked a room with a telephone for herself.

She also wanted to have a long phone conversation with Fu Yuanzheng that night.

After the group returned, Lu Yao didn't rush back but went to Xu Jingyi's room first.

Everyone wanted to hear what had happened to the comrades who had come before them at the drama troupe.

As soon as they entered, the comrades who had arrived earlier began to complain.

"With Teacher Yu away from the drama troupe these past few days, the people there don't treat us like human beings at all. They not only make us live in the basement but also feed us leftovers. It's infuriating!"

"The drama troupe only has one bathhouse, so it's not suitable for our comrades in the cultural troupe."

"Every time we rehearse, the drama troupe deliberately doesn't cooperate, so we've been figuring things out on our own for the past few days."

"That general affairs person seems to be a relative of Teacher Yu. Everyone listens to her. If it weren't for Teacher Yu's stage play, we would have left long ago."

……


Xu Jingyi: "According to what you're saying, I feel like we'll be constantly tripped up during our time in the drama troupe."

Lu Yao: "Yes, so our comrades in the cultural troupe must unite closely. We won't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of trouble either!"

Zhao Xiaotang: "Since you came, we feel like we have a pillar of support."

Lu Yao: "Let's go to the drama club tomorrow and see what happens. If they're still not friendly, we should try to stay together as much as possible except for rehearsals."

Xu Jingyi: "Comrade Lu Yao is right. If you are bullied, please don't suffer in silence. Tell us immediately."

After everyone finished discussing the matter, they all returned to their own rooms.

Lu Yao returned to her single room and collapsed onto the bed.

so tired!

But after a moment of confusion, she remembered that she hadn't called home to let them know she was safe, so she quickly got up and made a phone call.

By this time, the Fu family had finished eating, and Chen Manzhen and Zhao Weihong had already put the baby to sleep.

Fu Jianguo also returned to his room.

Fu Yuanzheng didn't rush back. Instead, he read the newspaper in the living room while waiting for Lu Yao's call.

Chen Manzhen went to the toilet and saw that her son was still awake.

Chen Manzhen: "Yaoyao hasn't called yet?"

Fu Yuanzheng nodded.

Chen Manzhen: "You're probably too tired. Get some rest. Yuanzheng, you should go back to sleep too!"

Fu Yuanzheng: "I'll wait a little longer!"

My wife said she would call home every day.

Just then, the phone rang in the living room.

Fu Yuanzheng's eyes lit up, and he quickly went to answer the phone.

"Fu Yuanzheng?" Lu Yao's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"It's me!"

Fu Yuanzheng's voice carried a suppressed joy.

Chen Manzhen shook her head, smiled, and went back to the northeast room.

"Honey, I miss you so much!"

"Me too!"

"Mom and Dad, how are the babies?"

"Everything is great!"

"Honey, I'm so tired today, I'd like you to massage my legs."

"I'll give you a massage when I go next week!"

"It feels like it'll be a long time before I see you again!"

"Hmm, how are you settling in with the drama troupe?"

No, this place is no good at all, especially the things that have happened here.

However, Lu Yao didn't want Fu Yuanzheng and his family to worry.

Lu Yao: "It's alright. Teacher Yu and the people in the drama troupe are all very nice to me."

Fu Yuanzheng: "That's good!"

Lu Yao pouted: "Don't you have any sweet nothings you want to say to me?"

Sweet words?

Fu Yuanzheng thought for a moment: "I miss you too!"

Lu Yao chuckled: "How much do you want to?"

Fu Yuanzheng: "A day apart feels like three autumns!"

Lu Yao chuckled!
