Chapter 126 Debunking Rumors, Gaining Fame, and Unveiling Grand Ambitions
Debunking Rumors, Gaining Fame, and Unleashing Ambitions
Su Yunlan's gaze was sharp as she quickly scanned every word on the notice.
The text uses exaggerated language to depict the opera troupe as a den of iniquity, belittling the new play to the point of being worthless, and even smearing the famous actor Zhao, accusing him of being arrogant and bullying newcomers.
This is clearly a deliberate attempt to slander and ruin the opera troupe!
She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger, and her mind raced as she considered how to respond.
Seeing Su Yunlan's ugly expression, Xiao Yuhan snatched the notice away, his anger blazing: "Outrageous! How dare they slander me like this! I'm going to settle accounts with them right now!" He exuded a cold aura, as if he was about to rush out and start a massacre at any moment.
Su Yunlan grabbed him and shook her head: "Fourth Brother, calm down. Since they dare to spread rumors, they must have made preparations. If we act rashly, we will play right into their hands." Her voice was calm and powerful, like a tranquilizer, soothing the anger in Xiao Yuhan's heart.
Looking at Su Yunlan's calm face, he felt a surge of admiration.
In the following days, the rumors spread like wildfire, and fewer and fewer audience members gathered at the opera troupe's door. Even some guests who had booked private boxes canceled their reservations.
The atmosphere in the opera troupe became heavy, and everyone wore a look of anxiety.
Master Li was so anxious that he paced back and forth, and his already gray hair seemed to have a few more strands of silver.
"Yunlan, what should we do? If this continues, the opera troupe will have to close down!" Master Li's voice trembled slightly as he looked at the empty stage, feeling utterly helpless.
Su Yunlan remained calm and composed. She gathered everyone together and said firmly, "Don't panic. The innocent will clear themselves. Rumors are just rumors. The truth will come out eventually."
She looked around at everyone, her gaze settling on a silent figure in the corner: "Mr. Sun, you've arrived."
Sun, the opera enthusiast, slowly raised his head. A few days ago, he too had been misled by rumors and had begun to doubt the opera troupe.
But after watching the new play, he was deeply shocked, and those rumors were dispelled in his mind.
Seeing the opera troupe in dire straits fills him with unease.
"Madam Su, I am ashamed! I believed the rumors and wrongly accused the opera troupe. I am willing to do my best to clarify the facts for the opera troupe!" Sun, the opera fan, spoke with a strong voice, filled with deep apology and determination.
Su Yunlan smiled slightly. Turning to the crowd, she said, "Everyone, rumors stop with the wise. As long as we demonstrate our true abilities, the rumors will naturally dissipate on their own!"
Under Su Yunlan's arrangement, Sun, a theater enthusiast, and several other loyal theater fans began to travel around, telling people about the wonderful aspects of the new play and the troupe's good reputation.
They shared their personal experiences, using their most genuine feelings to gradually shift public opinion.
People gradually reappeared outside the opera troupe's door, and more and more people began to believe in the troupe's innocence.
As the opera troupe gradually came back to life, Su Yunlan did not let her guard down.
She knew this was just the first step.
To completely shatter the rumors, a stronger counterattack is needed.
In the stillness of the night, in the study in the backyard of the opera troupe, Su Yunlan was writing furiously at his desk, his brush moving swiftly across the paper.
Xiao Yuhan stood quietly behind her, gazing at her tenderly.
He gently took Su Yunlan's hand, and a warm current flowed from her fingertips to her heart.
Su Yunlan raised her head and met Xiao Yuhan's affectionate gaze. The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she returned his gaze with a firm look.
Without needing to say a word, their hearts were already in sync.
This silent interaction, in the quiet night, seemed especially tender and affectionate, and deepened the bond between the two.
"Si Lang, what do you think about us putting on another charity performance?" Su Yunlan put down his pen, his eyes sparkling with wisdom.
The gongs and drums are loud, and the firecrackers are all fired.
The entrance to the opera troupe was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and the place was bustling with people.
The charity performance planned by Su Yunlan is about to begin, and the news has already spread throughout the streets and alleys, attracting countless people to come and watch.
On the stage, Zhao, a renowned actor, wore a magnificent costume and exuded the demeanor of a master in every gesture.
His voice was clear and bright, and his singing style was melodious, bringing the joys and sorrows of the characters in the play to life.
The audience was completely captivated, sometimes clapping and cheering, sometimes sobbing softly.
After the performance, the crowd surrounded Su Yunlan, praising her highly.
"Madam Su, this play was absolutely fantastic! We'll never believe those rumors again!" "Yes, Madam Su is such a kind person, treating us to a play for free. She has the heart of a bodhisattva!"
The rumors spread by other opera troupes were completely dispelled after this charity performance.
The opera troupe regained the trust and affection of the people, and Su Yunlan's image became even more admirable.
She stood at the entrance of the opera troupe, watching the endless stream of audience members, a gratified smile on her face.
In the following days, the troupe's performances were sold out, and the profits far exceeded expectations.
Master Li was overjoyed and praised Su Yunlan to everyone he met, calling her the troupe's lucky star.
That evening, the opera troupe was packed to capacity once again.
At the curtain call, Su Yunlan stood in the center of the stage, receiving congratulations from everyone.
Xiao Yuhan stepped out from the crowd, his eyes filled with pride and love.
He picked up Su Yunlan and spun her around in the air a few times, drawing cheers from the audience.
This was a landmark moment in their successful reforms, and also a testament to their love.
Just then, a mysterious person dressed in black and wearing a straw hat appeared at the theater entrance.
He walked up to Su Yunlan and handed her a letter with gold lettering. His deep voice was particularly clear in the noisy theater: "Madam Su, my master invites you."
