The capital, Deyun backstage.
Today was the birthday of the class master, Old Guo. Everyone in De Yun had gathered together, toasting each other. It was extremely lively.
Compared to the dying De Yun from a few years ago, this crosstalk club had officially begun to rise this year. Not only were their performances packed to the brim, but De Yun's disciples had also frequently made appearances on other stages. They were on the verge of becoming a vassal in the entertainment industry.
This transformation was not only due to the accumulation of Old Guo and the others over the years, but also the hard work of De Yun.
The most important one was Deyun's eldest disciple, Lu Bai (Lu Yunbai). This person was only twenty-three years old this year. Not only was he handsome and elegant, but he was also known as Deyun's number one fresh meat. He was also extremely talented and was Old Guo's proudest disciple.
According to Old Guo, Lu Bai was the kind of genius that the founder chased after.
It was also because of this that within De Yun, besides Old Guo Qian, Lu Bai's status was the highest. Even a few elders had to treat this junior politely.
Anyone with discerning eyes could see that if this trend continued, Lu Bai would definitely become the young class master in the future. His achievements might even surpass his master, Old Guo.
Hence, the conflict came. Old Guo's eldest son, Little Guo, was about the same age as Lu Bai and was also in the crosstalk industry. Although his abilities and qualifications were not as good as Lu Bai's, he was the legitimate Prince De Yun.
There could only be one young master. No one knew how Old Guo would choose between his son and his beloved disciple.
Originally, De Yun did not make money, and everyone was struggling to make ends meet. Now that De Yun had become famous, the benefits were huge, and people's hearts began to waver.
"Did you call Xiaobai?"
At the main table, the seat on Old Guo's right was always empty. Everyone knew that it was reserved for Eldest Senior Brother Lu Bai. The banquet was originally scheduled to start at six o'clock, but no one had eaten yet. They were all waiting for Lu Bai.
"I did. Senior Brother said there was a traffic jam on the road.”
Xiao Guo replied carefully. Everyone could see that Old Guo was unhappy. This was only Lu Bai. If it was anyone else, who would dare to be late for Old Guo's birthday?
"He's here! He's here!"
After one or two shouts, everyone in De Yun looked towards the door. Even Old Guo, who had a dark expression, couldn't help but smile.
A young man in a moon-white robe walked in with a smile. His appearance and bearing were quite outstanding. He definitely deserved the saying,'A stranger is like jade, a young master is unparalleled in the world'.
Because Deyun was going to perform in a while, everyone was wearing a long robe, which could be considered as work clothes. However, only Lu Bai could wear a long robe like an ancient romantic scholar.
"Eldest Senior Brother, you're finally here."
Lu Bai looked at the little fatty who greeted him with a sly smile and felt a little emotional.
Little Yue Yue was the number one actor in Deyun in his previous life. She was the most popular among the younger generation of crosstalk actors. She even appeared on the hot search list during the Spring Festival Gala.
However, in this parallel world, Little Yue Yue was not famous at all. He was ranked last in De Yun and was mainly responsible for cleaning. He was despised and ostracized by many De Yun disciples. If Lu Bai had not spoken up for him, he would have been fired.
Therefore, Xiao Yueyue and Lu Bai were the closest to each other in De Yun. It could be said that they were clinging onto Lu Bai's thigh. Although this guy looked simple and honest, he was actually quite scheming.
"Eldest Senior Brother!"
"Eldest Senior Brother!"
"Little White."
After greeting De Yun and the others, Lu Bai came in front of Old Guo. The little black fatty with a heart-shaped crewcut in front of him was his master in this life.
"Master, I'm late. I'll drink three cups as punishment.”
At first, Old Guo was quite angry and put on the airs of a master. It was obvious that Lu Bai hesitated when he picked up the large glass of white wine and was about to drink it.
"It's fine as long as it's just a gesture. We still have to perform on stage later.”
"I'm fine."
Lu Bai didn't waste any time. He poured three large glasses of white wine under everyone's watchful eyes. The amount was close to eight taels. Pa, pa, pa. He downed the three glasses directly. Although his face was flushed, he didn't look embarrassed at all.
"Good!"
Master Qian, who was the best at drinking, immediately cheered. De Yun and the others also cheered.
Eldest Senior Brother was indeed Eldest Senior Brother. This punishment could even give off an imposing aura.
Actually, Old Guo was not angry at his beloved disciple at all. Now that he had a way out, he did not put on airs anymore. He grumbled and pulled Lu Bai to sit down.
"Hurry up and eat two mouthfuls of food. Don't hurt your throat.”
His words were filled with love and concern, but he also knew that his disciple could drink and was young. He was the only one in De Yun who could make Master Qian submit.
When everyone saw this, they became lively again.
It seemed that everything was fine. Previously, they were worried that Lu Bai and Old Guo would be unhappy because of the fight for the young class master.
"I wish you all the best, Master…"
"I wish you a great body, Master…"
"I wish Master to have a son soon…"
Crosstalk performers were all poor. With such a large table of crosstalk actors together, there was no need to worry about the silence. Very soon, the atmosphere became heated.
" Eldest Senior Brother, let me toast you."
Little Guo was on the same age as Lu Bai this year, but he was obviously more inexperienced. In addition, the two of them had been at loggerheads recently, so this toast was a little awkward.
Lu Bai smiled on the surface, but he had a plan in his heart.
It was originally a good thing that he had transmigrated to become Eldest Senior Brother De Yun, Old Guo's beloved disciple. After all, De Yun had already shown signs of soaring in this world. It was the best time.
However, Lu Bai was currently facing the fight for the position of the young class master. Although he did not care much about this, others did not think so. Moreover, Old Guo himself was also in a difficult position.
De Yun was established by him, so it was only natural for him to pass it on to his son. However, Lu Bai was far superior to Xiao Guo in terms of merit, status, and qualifications. If Xiao Guo was appointed as the young class master, everyone would probably not be very convinced.
Old Guo had been wanting to talk to Lu Bai recently, but he didn't know how to start. He knew that his disciple looked like a gentleman on the surface, but he was actually proud and refused to submit to others…
At 7:30 pm, the audience entered the venue one after another. De Yun had been very popular recently. The tickets were sold out, and the 1,000-person venue was full.
Deyun was on the rise, so even though it was Old Guo's birthday, everyone did not rest. They ate and drank to prepare for the performance.
" Welcome to De Yun, everyone. The first person to appear today is our Eldest Senior Brother, Lu Bai…"
Lu Bai was the pillar of the second generation of De Yun, and he was already quite famous among the audience. Therefore, when the host announced the scene, thunderous applause immediately erupted.
"Man, is it okay?"
Backstage, Master Qian's face was red from drinking. If it weren't for the performance, he would have drunk until tomorrow morning, but the one who drank the most was Lu Bai.
"It's fine."
Lu Bai did not feel dizzy after drinking half a kilogram of white wine. Instead, he was very excited. The blood flow in his body accelerated, and his mind was very clear.
He smoothed his robe and held a folding fan in his hand. Lu Bai entered the stage amidst the warm applause.
