Niu Baiwen laughed and said, "Second Master, you are scolding me as well. But what you said is true. The dirtiness in our business is not presentable. Outsiders cannot bear to see it. I find it disgusting myself!" He patted Ervin's arm and said, "You, Boss Shang, are different from others. He and I have been half-fellow apprentices for many years. No matter how much suffering we have endured, I have never seen him have a bad heart towards others. He has always been envied, excluded and spread rumors about him. He pouts and sits there holding his stomach and sulking for a long time! Isn't it that if he doesn't hurt others, others will hurt him?" Ryan felt very comfortable listening to these words. He also loved Ervin's uniqueness, simplicity, cleanliness, without the complexity and darkness of ordinary actors. At the same time, a feeling of indignation rose in his heart: Why do you always bully a good boy! He couldn't help but look back at Ervin and smiled at him. Ervin realized for the first time that he was such a coward in Niu Baiwen's mind. He was so angry that he didn't look like a man at all. He couldn't be recognized. He remembered the scene when he was a child, chasing his senior brother who annoyed him and beating him up in the street. How impressive it was! The Peking opera actors were keen on conspiracy and backstabbing, which was not his way, so he couldn't accept it.
Niu Baiwen sighed to Ervin and said, "My master asked me to take care of you before he left. Look at what has happened. I am at a loss. It would be better if he were here."
Ervin said: "Even if Henry is still in Peking, he can't replace me, right?"
As they were talking, they arrived at the Liyuan Hall. As soon as their car stopped, another car came from the opposite direction. This car braked hard and almost collided with them. It stopped half a meter away with Lao Ge's exclamation. Du Qi jumped out of the driver's seat, his face was not good, and he yelled: "I say! Uncle Jiang smoked too much opium and can't digest it? What is he doing? He called someone from half a city away to relieve his boredom!"
Niu Baiwen waved his hand hurriedly, asking him not to talk too much. At the same time, he also showed the sneaky tricks of a conspirator and called Du Qi to discuss. The few firecrackers in Shuiyun Tower were not enough to plot. There were so many people around Ervin who were cheering and supporting him. Niu Baiwen could see that only Du Qi was loyal, wise and brave. He thought that the cultivation of scholars should be better than that of actors, right? But Niu Baiwen also misjudged Du Qi. When Du Qi heard this, he didn't care about the long-term plan. He held Ervin's wrist and said, "I know what old man Jiang's intention is. They just can't stand seeing someone better than them and want to kill your limelight. Your new book was written by me, and I also have a share in it. I will argue for you!"
