Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
However, for tonight’s accommodation and dinner money, Yu Ruo shamelessly pulled a short-haired female and asked, “My sister plays well, right? Why don’t you give her some money?”
The girl shook her head in shock. “Huh? You still want me to pay?”
She did not expect that watching the performance here would cost money!
“Our Chinatown holds an ancient musical instrument concert every week. They invite all the masters of various musical instruments to participate in the concert and they provide free snacks. And I have to pay for your performance?”
A boy beside him also curled his lips and said, “If you play well, I can give you money, but you guys are very ordinary. You’re just amateurs. You still have the cheek to ask for money?”
“That’s right. Yu Su’s group has two musical instruments. It doesn’t cost money to listen to musical instruments there. What right do you have to collect money?” the short-haired girl asked.
This girl was a shop owner nearby. She heard that her favorite variety show was here to record a show, so she came over to take a look. She did not expect to be questioned by Yu Ruo, so she could only tell the truth.
After the short-haired girl finished speaking, everyone nodded.
“She’s playing like this and still wants money. You’re really going crazy from poverty!”
“There are dozens of musical instruments at the concert in Chinatown. Masters from all regions are playing them for free. How can they play the zither as well as masters?”
“That’s right. In Chinatown, anyone knows how to play the zither. Why do we have to pay to hear her play?”
“The people at Yu Su’s side rely on their ability to earn money, but they want to earn money with just a few moves. They must be treating the people in Chinatown as fools!”
Yu Miao stood rooted to the ground. When she heard the discussions around her, she was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a corner to hide in.
Yu Ruo also froze, not knowing what to say.
Perhaps they had not thought it through!
Yu Miao clenched her fists. She knew that not only were the people present watching, but the audience in the live-stream were also watching. She could not be teased anymore.
Hence, Yu Miao took a few steps forward, waved her sleeve, and started to dance.
She had been learning classical dance since she was young. She was very confident that she could intimidate this group of ordinary people.
Unexpectedly, not long after the dance, another large group of people left.
“She’s so-so!”
“I don’t want to look anymore. If I look again, they’ll ask us for money again. I don’t want to give them money.”
“That’s right. It’s not worth the money.”
“You’re being so wishy-washy. You don’t look like a classical dancer at all. It’s making me uncomfortable!”
“Let’s go and listen to the free flute!”
The audience walked and discussed, not taking Yu Miao seriously at all.
Seeing that everyone had left, Yu Miao couldn’t dance anymore. Her face was filled with embarrassment.
Yu Su was simply her nemesis!
She was selling her skills to earn money, but Yu Su’s group played the flute and the zither for free. Wasn’t this ruining their reputation?
It was really a bad start.
Seeing that she had stopped, Yu Ruo immediately walked forward and comforted her dryly, “Yu Miao, don’t be sad. These people don’t know how to appreciate it. They’re all country bumpkins.”
Yu Miao’s dance was taught by a professional teacher. It was impossible for it to not look good.
In Yu Ruo’s eyes, Yu Miao’s dance could be ranked in the country.
“No, I didn’t dance well,” Yu Miao immediately said.
Then, she glanced at Yu Ruo helplessly.
How stupid!
How could he comfort her like this? If the audience saw this scene, they would definitely scold them.
Seeing that her expression was not good, Yu Ruo also realized it and added, “Yes, yes. This is Chinatown. There are many people who can play the zither and dance. It’s indeed not easy to earn money with this. Let’s find another way to earn money!”
In Chinatown, there were free musical performances every week. It was normal for people here not to pay to listen to such performances.
Yu Miao sighed and became depressed.
She really did not expect that it was really impossible to earn money by selling her skills. No one wanted to watch the zither and classical dance performances. How could she earn money?
The production team was too much. They didn’t provide them with information about Chinatown and wasted their time.
At the thought of this, Yu Miao started to scold her assistant in her heart again.
She gave her assistant such a high salary, but she didn’t even help her find information about Chinatown in advance so that she wouldn’t embarrass herself in Chinatown.
After returning, Yu Miao decided to deduct her assistant’s salary.
Their plan to earn money by selling their skills failed, so they hurriedly put away the props and returned the zither to the production team.
Yu Miao suggested, “Let’s walk around and see if there’s any way to earn money.”
“Alright.” Yu Ruo nodded in agreement..
