Indeed, if Qi Shejiang were too tight-lipped to even mention his master’s generation, Liu Quanhai would definitely have his doubts if it were anyone else. But Qi Shejiang had a lost lineage that was quite evident; perhaps there was some unspeakable story attached to his master, like being expelled from the comedy circle?
Liu Quanhai was ultimately fond of talent; after pondering for a while, he said, “Jesse, right? My second disciple has a comedy troupe. Why not come by my place sometime, and perform a segment for me to listen to?”
Saying this was also out of pure curiosity; he wanted to sense Qi Shejiang’s foundation and see how good he was at comedy. Moreover, each faction has its own characteristics; if he could hear Qi Shejiang perform, he might discern something.
“Sure!”
Qi Shejiang immediately responded. Xia Yiwei was a name in the industry, but she was unrelated to comedy. If she could get to know Liu Quanhai, it would mean he had guidance in this comedy world. Not to mention, he didn’t even have a partner yet and had no idea where to find one.
But Xia Yiwei widened her eyes, “Wait, Jesse, Teacher Liu, our Jesse…”
She was nearly incoherent, wondering how they could leave her out and settle the matter. She came here to warn her son, but how had she ended up signing him up?
At that moment, the manager rushed over to whisper a report to Boss Wu, who had been watching the commotion for a while.
Boss Wu slapped his forehead, “What the hell is going on tonight, so many unexpected things happening, and now someone is calling in sick.”
Liu Quanhai and Qi Shejiang exchanged glances, suddenly reaching a mutual understanding. Liu Quanhai smiled, “Then this is a perfect time. Boss Wu, why not take this opportunity to let little Jesse perform a segment here?”
Boss Wu considered it; he was looking at Xia Yiwei.
Xia Yiwei was stunned.
After a while, she suddenly spoke, “Okay, you go on stage and see if you can save this situation.”
Upon careful reflection, given her son’s personality, stopping him would only make him rebellious.
If she gave him a chance to take the stage, perhaps reality would teach him a lesson?
Performing comedy was not the same as singing.
