The Story of a Spoiled Daughter Raising a Husband

As the play ended, the emotions in the teahouse were varied. After a brief pause, prolonged applause erupted, with everyone praising the unique performance and expressing their intention to visit the teahouse whenever they had free time.

When the boss saw how well the two performances blended together, he had to admit that Tong Qian's idea was really novel. She was able to come up with such a change. Something that shouldn't have been novel gave everyone a huge shock. Seeing the change in emotions before and after, he felt a little uneasy.

The troupe leader was naturally happy with this situation. Firstly, it enhanced the reputation of his drama troupe, and secondly, the money he could earn was already flowing in endlessly.

Regarding Zhen Rui's sudden addition, she initially felt reluctant to accept it, but then suddenly realized that his involvement was the only way to make her play last longer, and she also hoped that Tong Qian could write more scripts in the future.

Seeing the result, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Miss Tong, boss, I think today's performance was quite successful, and even better than when we rehearsed before. I have to say that today's scene is the first time in all these years that I have seen so many guests."

The owner echoed, "That's true. My teahouse used to have a lot of customers, but it was never full. There have never been so many customers as today. But this is all thanks to Miss Tong."

The troupe leader, hearing that the boss shared the same thoughts, also praised Tong Qian highly, "Indeed, we owe a lot to Miss Tong this time. Before, the guests felt that our drama performances were not as interesting as they were at the beginning. This change has attracted even more people to us."

“In that case, your teahouse will attract more and more customers, and our theatrical performances will be seen by more people. If there’s an opportunity, we might even start our own performance group.” As he said this, he realized that what he said was somewhat inappropriate. Looking at the different expressions on Tong Qian’s and the boss’s faces, he wondered what had happened.

The boss, who should have been as happy as she was, was just sitting there, seemingly preoccupied. Tong Qian, on the other hand, was just drinking tea, as if none of this concerned her. She also felt that she didn't belong in such an environment.

Thinking this, she got up to leave. "They're probably still in that situation and won't be able to get out of it easily for a while. I need to go back and check on them. You guys chat first. If you need me later, just send someone to call me." With that, she walked straight out.

Watching the troupe leader leave, Tong Qian naturally wouldn't let the boss off the hook. Ever since he saw the final performance, he was only happy for a short while, and then he kept his emotions on edge. Even if the troupe leader didn't say anything, he could tell. He just didn't know the reason why the troupe leader didn't know. He knew it very well in his heart.

Seeing that the boss wasn't even looking at him, he calmly said, "Boss, actually, this effect was something I had already anticipated. Even if the troupe leader didn't quite believe it, he still thought this performance would be even more successful. Now that the results are in, what do you think?"

The boss knew that the outcome was already so obvious, and Tong Qian would definitely ask him about his decision. However, even if he didn't want to agree, he couldn't voice his thoughts with so many customers around. If he upset Tong Qian and she decided to switch to another teahouse, even the head of the teahouse might leave.

By then, he would lose even the share he could keep now, not to mention that Tong Qian might have other things that he couldn't see now. At that time, he could only watch others get what he might have gotten now.

Even though he felt a little sweaty inside, he still maintained his most composed voice and said, "Miss Tong, today's results were indeed exceptional. Just looking at the number of guests and the applause at the end, everything was outstanding. And their enthusiastic praise was certainly not to be overlooked."

"I must thank Miss Tong. If it weren't for the young master you brought along, and for helping the drama troupe with rehearsals every day, we certainly wouldn't have been able to create such a sensation."

Tong Qian listened with a lot of dissatisfaction in her heart. After talking for a long time, she still couldn't say what she wanted to hear, but she wasn't in a hurry.

"Boss, if that's the case, then shouldn't you consider the suggestion I mentioned to you before?"

As she said this, she simply played with the teacup in her hand, not urging him to give any response, but just waiting quietly.

When the boss heard Tong Qian finally ask the question that he had been worried about, he was somewhat reluctant, but he still had to say, "Miss Tong, even without all these things that happened later, I have never refused anything you asked, have I?"

"If you can achieve such results today, then there will definitely be many more different things in the future. I am still relying on you to bring us more amazing works in the future. Moreover, both Miss Yun and the drama troupe cannot do without your help."

Hearing her boss's ambiguous answer, Tong Qian had her own thoughts, and her childlike nature also kicked in. Since you're unwilling to say it, then I'll say it myself. Just tell me if you agree or not.

"Boss, we agreed before that we would each get 40% of the profits, and the troupe leader would get 20%. Although you might think that 10% represents a big difference in the amount of money, you must have seen how many customers we have today. Can you calculate how much more money this will bring you than you might have received before?"

Seeing the boss fall silent after his words, he continued, "Actually, this 10% is equivalent to my investment. You must have heard what the troupe leader just said. Although it was unintentional, it was the most realistic statement. If I can stay here, even if he's only here for the script, he definitely won't leave easily. Don't you agree?"

"So no matter what, if you promise me, it will only guarantee that you will get more money, but it will not affect what you can get or lose customers."
