The corridor is very long, but the section of corridor from the elevator to Zhou Zhi's office is not long, so Song Mei and Zhang Wenbin did not walk for long before they arrived.

Passing by the small office, Song Mei didn't stop, walked straight past, and then knocked on the door of Zhou Zhi's office.

Zhang Wenbin raised his head and glanced at the shiny silver door plate with the words 'President's Office' on it, and suddenly became even more nervous.

"Knock knock, Mr. Zhou, Uncle Zhang is here." Song Mei said after knocking on the door.

"Uncle Zhang, please come in." Zhou Zhi responded.

Song Mei then pushed the door open and walked in. As soon as the door opened, the office was revealed in front of Zhang Wenbin.

The office is very large. The biggest thing is not the desk, but the bookcases on that side. There are both behind and on the sides of the desk. The bookcases are L-shaped as a whole and are filled with books.

"No wonder Boss Xiao Zhou can open such a big store at such a young age. It's so much easier to study." Zhang Wenbin thought to himself.

When he saw someone coming in, Zhou Zhi stood up and walked over, saying, "Uncle Zhang, you are here. Secretary Song, please go make two cups of tea and come over."

Although he couldn't remember who this person was, Zhou Zhi still greeted him politely.

"You can call me Old Man Zhang, or Old Man Zhang, but I don't dare to let Boss Zhou greet me like this." Zhang Wenbin waved his hand quickly.

"Uncle Zhang, don't be so polite." Zhou Zhi reached out and took Zhang Wenbin's arm to lead him to the sofa, and then sat down with him.

Zhou Zhi did not sit face to face this time, because he could tell at a glance that Zhang Wenbin was already very nervous. If he sat face to face again, Uncle Zhang might not be able to speak. This was similar to Zhou Zhi who had just left school.

Uncle Zhang Wenbin was a little nervous when he first sat down, but after Zhou Zhi deliberately chatted a few interesting things about the village, Uncle Zhang Wenbin was no longer so nervous.

Soon Song Mei's tea was brewed and served. Of course, Zhou Zhi specifically asked Song Mei to brew it in a big teacup, instead of using the Hermès Oriental Horse series.

The cups in that series are too small and delicate, and not suitable for Uncle Zhang.

Following Zhou Zhi's greeting, Uncle Zhang Wenbin took a sip of hot tea and finally calmed down his mood. He took the initiative to speak without waiting for Zhou Zhi to ask.

"Boss Xiao Zhou, I'm here to ask you for something." Uncle Zhang Wenbin looked at the wooden box on the ground and said with a slight sigh.

"What is it?" Zhou Zhi did not respond rashly, but asked what the specific matter was.

"Didn't I hear that your banquet hall is recruiting people to perform? I just recommended myself." Uncle Zhang said.

"Recommend yourself? What do you want to perform?" Zhou Zhi was a little curious now.

"Boss Xiao Zhou is out all the year round, and he still doesn't know that although my old Zhangtou has not studied for two years and does not know a few Chinese characters, my skill in shadow puppetry is one of the best in the entire Shouxian County." Uncle Zhang said. I am still very confident and proud of my old profession.

"Shadow puppet show? Uncle, do you know how to shadow puppet show?" Zhou Zhi asked in surprise.

You must know that Zhou Zhi has only seen shadow puppetry on TV and has never seen it in reality, so he is still a little curious.

"That is, I learned art at the age of six, started performing on my own at the age of eighteen, and retired at the age of forty. Even after all these years, I have not lost my skills." Zhang Wenbin patted the wooden box at his feet proudly.

"Awesome." Zhou Zhi praised.

"So I came here on my own recommendation. I don't need any salary from you, Boss Zhou. I just need to give me a place to perform." Zhang Wenbin said with some embarrassment.

At first, Zhang Wenbin and his wife boasted about making money as a joke. In the end, he just wanted a place or stage to perform.

Although he is not rich by making money, the land he cultivates is enough for the old couple, so he really doesn't insist on it. He just can't let go of his craftsmanship.

"Uncle Zhang, look at what you said, this won't work." Zhou Zhi said with a serious and disapproving look.

"This... if this doesn't work, forget it. I'll embarrass you, Boss Zhou." Zhang Wenbin sighed and said sadly when Zhou Zhi disagreed.

"Uncle Zhang, you misunderstood. What I said is that you can't do it without money." Zhou Zhi hurriedly explained.

"Ah?" Zhang Wenbin was a little confused.

"I mean, you said it doesn't cost money. This shadow puppet show was selected into the list of representative works of human intangible cultural heritage in 2011. This is a traditional skill left by our ancestors. If it is valuable, we should give it money." Zhou Zhi Said very seriously.

The emphasis in these two sentences made Zhang Wenbin, an old man over sixty years old, feel like he was understood and wanted to cry, and he felt like he was a close friend.

"Boss Xiao Zhou is really well-read and knowledgeable. This is a legacy from our ancestors," Zhang Wenbin said excitedly.

"It's a pity that this is not so popular here. It is more popular in Henan, Shanxi, and Shaanxi. My master is from Shaanxi." Zhang Wenbin continued.

"The three classic pieces I'm good at are The Legend of White Snake, The Jade Bracelet, and Romance of the West Chamber. I've brought them all." Zhang Wenbin said repeatedly.

Zhou Zhi on the side did not interrupt Zhang Wenbin, and waited until he finished speaking before speaking: "These are the props for your shadow puppet show."

"That's right, I'm just pretending to be here." Zhang Wenbin nodded.

"Then you should put them all on the table." Zhou Zhi suggested.

"Okay." Zhang Wenbin didn't refuse. After all, it was his favorite. If this box hadn't been in someone else's office, it was always placed in a place with the best lighting, so it wouldn't have been placed on the floor.

"Then you don't have to try it or open it for me to see. I want to wait until the day you perform on stage to see it." Zhou Zhi said with a smile.

"Okay." Zhang Wenbin agreed with confidence.

"When you come back to the hotel in three days, I will prepare an exclusive performance stage for you to decorate. What do you think?" Zhou Zhi thought for a moment and then said.

"That's no problem, just listen to Boss Xiao Zhou." Zhang Wenbin nodded directly.

"Then I will calculate the money for you according to the performance. You must take the money. If you don't take it, it will be disrespectful to the shadow puppet show." When Zhou Zhi talked about money, seeing that Zhang Wenbin wanted to refuse, he immediately said.

This time Zhang Wenbin was a little embarrassed, but thinking about what Zhou Zhi said, he figured it out, nodded and said: "Thank you, boss Xiao Zhou."

"You're welcome, I want to thank you for allowing us to enjoy the shadow puppet show." Zhou Zhi knew.

"That's why you are so generous, Boss Xiao Zhou." Zhang Wenbin praised seriously.

Zhou Zhi smiled and said nothing, then spoke again: "According to your physical condition, you perform three times a week. What do you think?"

"No problem, it will be fine every day." Zhang Wenbin said confidently.

"That's not necessary. You have to have a good rest so that the effect of each game will be better." Zhou Zhi suggested.

"Boss Xiao Zhou is right." Zhang Wenbin nodded, knowing that Zhou Zhi was doing this for his own good.

In this way, the two went on to discuss some details of the performance. It can be said that the conversation was very pleasant.
