537 There’s a Reason
Ten seconds later, Chu Ning regretted it.
She felt that there was a reason these people were so down-and-out that they could not afford the rent.
To put it nicely, she couldn’t understand this kind of avant-garde art form.
The pronunciation was like shrill wailing, but the name of this song was called Stunning Beauty…
Chu Ning didn’t know what they were thinking.
However, she felt that many would be attracted to come and watch these people in the industrial park.
Whether it was good or not, it was enough to attract people. This was what Chu Ning wanted, and was also the reason she had come that day.
A few minutes later, Crazy Stone ended his performance.
The artists around him applauded and congratulated him.
Chu Ning had no choice but to clap along, even though she did not even understand what he was singing.
After the applause ended, a wandering artist named Octopus Without Tentacles stood up, looked around, and spoke in a deep voice, “Since we have a new audience today, I’m going to show you a new technique that I’ve recently realized.”
Chu Ning had no choice but to prepare her ears to be baptized once more.
The song was very long, but halfway through the singer’s performance, the microphone suddenly cut off, and so did the sound system.
At the same time, a man in blue overalls and a red hat walked over with a gloomy expression.
Chu Ning’s gaze changed slightly. She knew that the person in front of her was the one who stopped these artists from pursuing their music dreams.
“A bunch of lunatics! Your electricity bill has been delayed for more than seven months!” the electrician mercilessly roared at the wandering artists.
Although they didn’t need to pay any rent, the water and electricity bills were not free.
“Mr. Liu, give us some more time. I think art will definitely…” Crazy Stone was about to speak, but he was ruthlessly interrupted by Mr. Liu.
“Cut the crap! You bunch of crazy weirdos, you’re already in arrears with the electricity bill of more than 6,000 yuan. If it weren’t for the government not allowing the power to cut off, afraid that the villagers would still return to live here, would you still be living happily until now!” Mr. Liu viciously reprimanded him. His voice was very loud, his tone extremely arrogant.
Chu Ning was a few meters away, but she could still see the saliva that came out of Mr. Liu’s mouth splattering toward Crazy Stone’s face.
Mr. Liu cursed for a few minutes before he finally stopped. He seemed to be tired of speaking.
“That new girl, I think you’re dressed quite normally. Hurry up and leave this place. This is not a good place. None of these people are normal. There’s something wrong with their heads,” Mr. Liu said with pity, looking at Chu Ning.
“I’ll give you two weeks, no, one week. If you can’t pay the electricity bill, pack your things and get lost!” Mr. Liu turned to leave after he finished speaking.
However, he turned around and spat on the ground in front of Crazy Stone before leaving in satisfaction.
“Sigh. How are we going to get 6,000 yuan in a week?”
“Forget about 6,000 yuan, I don’t even have 60 yuan on me!”
“Mr. Liu really doesn’t have a musical bone in his body. He doesn’t understand what artists like us are pursuing!”
“He’s just a materialistic person. Our spiritual world is much richer than his!”
Chu Ning could only sigh weakly inside as she listened to these people’s whispered explanations.
These people were simply stubborn, and that was only after the debt collectors left.
Chu Ning had always felt that a successful artist must have some outstanding qualities or sufficient talent.
Otherwise, it could only be called escaping from reality.
“All gifted artists, I have a good place. I wonder if you’re willing to go? There will be a lot of people there when it’s time to get off work, and the venue is big enough for you to display your talents to your heart’s content. The key is that they don’t have to pay for the water and electricity bills. They also provide food so that the artists don’t have to worry about material problems and can concentrate on their creations,” Chu Ning said with a smile as she looked at the group of artists.
“There’s such a good place!” Octopus Without Tentacles looked at Chu Ning in surprise and disbelief.
