Chapter 118: Good or bad is not determined by what others say!
The Beijing Exhibition Center is a large comprehensive exhibition hall integrating conferences, catering, performances and accommodation. It can be said to be an important venue for cultural exchanges at home and abroad.

Su Chen and his friends' destination was the Beizhan Theater under the Beijing Exhibition Center.

“There are too many people here!”

There were already long queues forming in the square in front of the theater, and a quick glance showed that there were several hundred people in each queue.

Fortunately, the entire Beijing Exhibition Center Theater has six aisles, which greatly eases the flow of people.

"Do we still need to queue?" Su Chen frowned slightly as he looked at the long queue.

"We probably don't need it. I think there should be a VIP-only channel!" Chen Fei said.

Jiang Hui gave Chen Fei a look and said, "Xiao Fei, go to the ticket gate and ask about the situation."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei immediately ran towards the nearest ticket gate. Relying on his physical advantage, he quickly squeezed into the crowd, causing a small commotion.

He left quickly and came back quickly. After about two or three minutes, Chen Fei came back panting.

"Huh~Huh~It's really terrible. How come those women are so good at talking?" Chen Fei sighed while panting.

"What happened? Did you fall into the Silkworm Cave?"

"Sir, you don't know. I just went to ask the ticket collector, and those people thought I was cutting in line, and they started spitting at me. You didn't see that their mouths were like machine guns. If I hadn't run fast, I would have been drowned by their spit!"

Su Chen and the other two all burst into laughter.

"How about your question? Is there any VIP fast track?" Jiang Hui asked. If he needed to queue, he would have to find other ways to get in. He couldn't possibly let Su Chen queue!
"Yes, sir, follow me!" Chen Fei tried to calm his breathing and led Su Chen and the other two to the left side of the ticket gate.

At this time in the VIP channel, two young men were sitting at the door bragging and chatting.

"Heyang, who do you think Uncle Qian invited? The VIP room is number one. You should know that there are only two rooms in the entire Beijing Exhibition Theater. Uncle Qian also repeatedly told us to behave properly. Could it be some big shot in the crosstalk circle?" A sturdy young man asked with some confusion.

"I'm not sure either, but when I was chatting with Xiaolong before, he mentioned that the person invited by Master Qian is very extraordinary, and even Sicong is inferior to him?"

"Huh? Tearing onions? It's the one I know." The strong young man stood up in a flash with a look of disbelief on his face.

He Yang nodded, "Bingzi, when they come, you should pay attention to your attitude and don't make a fuss. If you offend them accidentally, it will be a big sin!"

Although Bingzi looks honest, he is actually a sensible person, except that he has a slightly bad temper.

"Don't worry, you will be responsible for the reception and I will help you!" Bingzi had already made up his mind and would not speak if he could.

He was clearly aware that he was indeed much inferior to He Yang in terms of interpersonal communication.

While the two were still thinking about how to receive the guests later, a deep voice sounded in their ears, "Excuse me, is this the VIP ticket check-in counter?"

The sudden sound of the voice frightened both of them.

He quickly looked up and saw a young man looking at them through the glass window.

"Yes, sir, may I ask who you are?" He Yang quickly stood up and said, and out of the corner of his eye he also saw three people behind the man.

Two young men and two middle-aged men and women? This combination made the well-informed He Yang unable to understand what kind of combination this was.

He couldn't think of any rich guy who would take his housekeeper and nanny with him when he went out to see a show.

Upon hearing this, Chen Fei took out four VIP box tickets from his pocket and handed them to He Yang.

When He Yang took the ticket and saw the box number one clearly marked on the ticket, his hands couldn't help but tremble.

After calming down, He Yang asked with what he thought was a friendly smile, "Which one is Mr. Su?"

Chen Fei glanced at He Yang, then moved aside to let Su Chen behind him pass.

He Yang opened the door quickly upon seeing this, made a polite gesture, and then said, "Mr. Su, please come in!"

Su Chen's gaze stayed on the two of them for a moment before he stepped inside.

He Yang hurriedly followed to lead Su Chen, while Bingzi walked at the end.

Bingzi looked at the people walking in front of him, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes. The VIP Mr. Su was walking in front, behind him was the middle-aged man, the young man asking about tickets was half a step behind, and the last one was the aunt!
Even after thinking about this combination for a long time, Bingzi still couldn't figure out what was going on.

They soon arrived at the private room. Bingzi and Heyang served tea, snacks and fruits, then left the room.

As soon as the two returned to the backstage, they saw their fellow apprentices busy rehearsing their lines.

As soon as they saw the two of them coming back, they gathered around and asked curiously: "Brother Bing, which boss did you go to pick up? Tell me!"

"Bingzi, is he the type who often appears on TV?"

"Brother Bing, are you a big shot in the entertainment industry?"

For a while, there was a lot of noise backstage, with people asking questions one after another.

"What are you all doing gathered together? With all the energy, don't you know how to choose the right words? If you make a mistake on stage, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!" A rough voice rang out, instantly suppressing the noisy backstage.

When everyone saw that Lao Guo had a gloomy face, they dispersed and continued to look for partners to rehearse their lines.

"Bingzi, Heyang, follow me!" Lao Guo said and walked into the small room at the back. The two looked at each other and hurried in, only to find that there were only Lao Guo, Yu Qian, Xiao Yueyue and Sun Yue in the small room.

"Master, uncle, uncle, brother!"

The two of them stood in the middle and greeted everyone one by one!
"Sir, has Mr. Su arrived in the private room?" Yu Qian asked with a smile.

"Uncle Qian, Mr. Su has arrived. There are four of them in total!" As Heyang's senior brother, Bingzi must be the one to answer such questions.

"Four?" Yu Qian nodded thoughtfully.

"That's right, I didn't expect Mr. Su to come with a housekeeper and a nanny!"

"Ah~" As soon as these words were spoken, several puzzled voices were heard in the room.

Even Lao Guo looked at his good partner in confusion. If he didn't know that Yu Qian was not the kind of person who acted without purpose and insisted on giving away private room No. 1, he would not have agreed.

Yu Qian glanced at everyone before explaining, "Mr. Su is not from the imperial capital. He now lives in a courtyard house on the northern edge of Houhai in Shichahai. People like Si Cong and Qin Fen, who are familiar to you, are frequent visitors to his house."

Yu Qian was silent for a moment before continuing, "The mutton restaurant I'm planning recently is led by this big guy!"

"Huh?" The others didn't react. At most, they thought that Yu Qian had established a relationship with Mr. Su.

Only Old Guo's eyes widened. He had heard that Yu Qian occasionally mentioned this matter. At that time, he was very curious about who had such great ability to snatch food from a tiger's mouth. He didn't expect it to be Mr. Su.

Old Guo's mind also became active at this time, and he asked tentatively: "Old Yu, do you think I should go and pay a visit to Mr. Su?"

Yu Qianyi had no idea what his old partner was thinking when he heard this. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I'm afraid it's not possible now. The performance will start in 20 minutes. If you go to pay your respects, you won't have enough time. I'll take you there after the performance!"

Lao Guo understood the truth as soon as he heard it, "Okay, let's go after the performance!"
Private room number one!
Su Chen was lying on the sofa, his line of sight just able to see the center of the stage.

"Old Jiang, how long will it take to start?"

Jiang Hui looked at the time and said, "Sir, it will start soon!"

As soon as he finished speaking, people began to appear in the center of the stage. In a short while, there were dozens or even hundreds of people standing there, all wearing gowns.

Lao Guo and Yu Qian walked to the center of the stage one after the other.

"Teacher Guo, I love you!"

Lao Guo listened to the voice coming from the audience and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, sister!"

“Hahahaha~” bursts of laughter rang out at the scene.

"The Beijing Exhibition Center is very busy today. It's packed with people. Look at the three floors. They are all full of people."

Everyone felt very comfortable during the three to five minutes of casual chat. Even Su Chen, who was originally lying down, sat up straighter. The combination of Lao Guo and Yu Qian made the opening even more cheerful.

"Snapped!"

"The people of this country tolerate me and do not make money by committing sins. Lao Guo and Yu Qian led Deyun Club to express their gratitude to my parents who provided me with food and clothing! Thank you all!"

There was a round of applause!
The show started with a group singing of Fa Sixi. It's really amazing that Su Chen, who doesn't really like crosstalk, actually thought it was pretty good as soon as Lao Guo started singing.

"The fact that Lao Guo has been able to build Deyun Club to this point is closely tied to his ability!"

Chen Fei nodded in agreement. "To be honest, I admire Lao Guo a lot. He is really amazing for being able to gain a foothold in the capital from an outsider and also make the crosstalk industry popular!"

"But many people have mixed opinions about this crosstalk master. Some curse him, while others like him!"

Su Chen smiled calmly upon hearing this, "Isn't this a very normal thing? There are a thousand Hamlets among a thousand people. You can't make everyone agree on the same will!"

"Whether he is good or bad, it doesn't matter to you or me. Just follow your own inner thoughts instead of believing everything you hear. You can only know whether this person is good or bad after you get to know him!"

Chen Fei nodded silently when he heard this, and he also understood what Su Chen meant. No one is absolutely bad or absolutely good, it just varies from person to person.

Happy times are always short. Time passed slowly amidst the many interesting crosstalks. By the time Su Chen reacted, the show had already reached its final part.

As someone in the entertainment industry once said, "When you are famous, you are surrounded by good people. If you are not famous, you will not be respected!"

"Sir, shall we leave early?" Jiang Hui asked.

Su Chen shook his head slightly when he heard this, "No need, I think someone will come and knock on the door of the private room soon."

Sure enough, less than a minute after he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, and the person who came was He Yang, who had brought Su Chen in before.

"Mr. Su, please wait a moment. My master wants to see you. Is it convenient?"

There was a hint of surprise in Jiang Hui's eyes when he looked at Chen Fei. He didn't expect Su Chen to see things so clearly.

"Okay~ I'll wait for them in the private room!" After saying that, he turned to look at Jiang Hui and said, "Take Aunt Tang back to rest first, I may be back later!"

"Okay, sir!" Jiang Hui took Aunt Tang away.

Upon hearing this, He Yang became excited and walked quickly towards the backstage.
