Chapter 26.1.26This scene was all too familiar to everyone. In the past, the best outcome for many of their fellow sisters was to be taken home by a wealthy master, raised in comfort, and never seen in public again.
When they were taken away, they were as generous and considerate as An Shuting, as if they were destined for brighter days ahead.
At that time, Sun Yuebai had offered some advice to them.
In truth, most of them ended up fulfilling Sun Yuebai's predictions, abandoned by their partners before they grew old and unattractive.
But now it was Sun Yuebai's turn, and impatience was setting in.
"Yuebai, whatever your plan is, we can discuss it. This is a critical moment; you can't give up now." The old boss, seeing that Sun Yuebai was seriously considering leaving with An Shuting, stood up to intervene.
Sun Yuebai and An Shuting exchanged glances, and it was An Shuting who spoke first. "If you want him to go on stage, that's fine. I've just written a new play, so I'll let him perform it this time."
Squad Leader Li frowned at An Shuting's words. "That won't do. Mr. An, you don't understand our business. If we switch to a new opera at this point, it will certainly have an impact. Yue Bai, you don't want your performance to be inferior to the others, do you?"
However, Sun Yuebai had already decided to leave the troupe, so it didn't matter much to him. "I'll listen to Shu Ting."
At that moment, his primary concern was An Shuting's new opera, which was written specifically for him. He had kept the details a secret until now.
The old boss was left speechless, staring at Sun Yuebai in stunned silence.
Ignoring Troupe Leader Li, An Shuting took out the script and handed it to Sun Yuebai. "Here, don't you like new plays? You should like this one." Though he supported Sun Yuebai's decision to leave the troupe, he wanted him to depart with style and no regrets.
Even if no one else in the world remembered it, An Shuting could never forget the grief and disbelief Sun Yuebai had felt after losing that game in the other timeline.
Sun Yuebai took the script, opened it, and after reading just the first act, he was captivated by the story.
He looked up at An Shuting and handed the script to the old troupe owner, saying solemnly, "Just perform this, troupe owner. You're getting a great deal, so don't forget to pay me the fee."
Sun Yuebai's words and demeanor reflected his appreciation and optimism for this new play. Boss Li's gaze fell on the cover: "The Legend of White Snake."
He opened it with some skepticism.
After a moment, Troupe Leader Li closed the script and regarded Sun Yuebai with a complicated expression.
This brat always seemed so fortunate. His talent hadn't been particularly outstanding back then, but there hadn't been many others who stood out either.
Even when more talented individuals emerged later, they arrived several years after him, destined to lose their advantages and be overshadowed by Sun Yuebai.
This time was no different.
Boss Li had high hopes for Shen Zhong. This young man had significantly more talent than Sun Yuebai; he just needed the right opportunity to rise to success.
Boss Li had everything planned. He intended to use the Liyuanchun competition as a way to leverage Sun Yuebai's support to help Shen Zhong ascend to prominence. This could be seen as making use of the last remnants of Sun Yuebai's usefulness.
