I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 661: Chapter 661: The Complexion is Not Good

Shen Dong’s face indeed darkened instantly as he spoke, "I must have misjudged you. I gave you so much money; was it so you could come here and take bribes from others? You say it’s according to the choreography that the positions were arranged, then tell me, is the woman in the very center truly that good? When did you watch her, or are you just basing her position off of past performances?

If this is how you handle diligence, then you’re simply washing away others’ efforts. I want you to figure out a way to have the woman at the very edge stand in the center—that’s the person I’m promoting, not someone for you to toy with, got it? Go and make the arrangements. If you can’t even handle this, then you should consider leaving this place.

For now, I’m docking several months of your salary. Let’s see if you accept this arrangement."

Shen Dong was ruthless indeed, not sparing any feelings as he laid out his words. Mr. Lin’s face turned pale after hearing this, not expecting such a small issue to result in the loss of his salary, especially since the money he had taken was less than his salary. Now that his wages were being docked, what should he do?

His face turned to panic, but then he became even more anxious when he heard Shen Dong threatening to fire him, to not let him continue working in this position—that was a rare and good opportunity. What he valued the most was this job; without it, how would he feed his family? He blamed himself for being blinded by greed at the beginning.

Why did he agree to that woman’s plan? Indeed, it was his mistake, and he deserved to be punished by his superiors. He immediately calmed down and thought about a solution. Since the performance had already started, changing positions was impossible—it was his fault, and he had to bear the consequences.

"I’m sorry, boss. This is indeed my fault. I will make sure to sort this out. During the second round of seating changes, I’ll discuss it with the superiors. There’s a five-minute break then, though it will be in the second half. Will that be okay? I promise I won’t make such a mistake again, boss.

You’re right to dock my two months’ salary. I will use this incident to strictly remind myself never to make such foolish mistakes again and I hope, boss, that you won’t impose any heavier penalties.

I have elderly parents and young children to care for; I really can’t bear this kind of pressure. I accept the consequences for this incident." As Mr. Lin spoke these words, he did so with reluctance, but it was the best solution he could come up with and might stop Shen Dong from further pursuing his mistake, so he thought it best.

Shen Dong knew the situation with the management too and didn’t pursue it further. If he kept pursuing the issue, he wouldn’t have anyone to work at his bar. Sometimes if the other party doesn’t realize what they’ve done, let it be; just warn them for now and deal with the rest later. He nodded slightly.

He told him to hurry down and resolve the issue so that they could move past it, and Mr. Lin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly went to make the necessary arrangements.

Lin Yun, standing proudly in the center, felt both brave and strategic. She knew the position was desirable and that, having secured it, she didn’t have to worry anymore. When she first approached the manager, she didn’t expect an immediate acceptance.

The money she offered was just her initial offering; she could have given more if the manager hadn’t agreed. But to her surprise, it turned out to be much simpler than expected. Standing on stage, she sometimes felt helpless, looking through the crowd for the one she wanted to impress, and after searching for a while without finding him, she wondered if he had not come at all?

How could that be? She wanted to make him regret it, to see her in the center, winning applause from others, and laugh at him for not choosing her, the bright jewel, opting instead for a blade of grass, which would be so tasteless.

If she couldn’t find him after all the searching, she would have to give up. Standing in the center, even if her heart wasn’t fully in the dance, she could still win the crowd’s applause.

Sure enough, the crowd was shouting out the number of the woman below, and Lin Yun’s expression was one of utmost pride. No one could be stronger than her. Lin Qi, at a corner of the stage, was dancing energetically to the movements she had considered for a long time and had practiced tirelessly. Even from her small corner, she wouldn’t give up; her eyes were constantly searching for the person she wanted to find.

After locking eyes with Shen Dong for a second, she knew he had indeed come to watch her performance. She was thrilled and danced even harder. Thanks to her energy, she won the support of a few people, and even those toward the back began to notice the woman in the corner, feeling that she was quite extraordinary, and a small number started shouting Lin Qi’s number.

Lin Qi was very happy, pleased to be remembered by others, and hoped Shen Dong had seen her performance, which she thought was pretty good.

Finally, as the music ended and the intermission arrived, Lin Yun deliberately bumped into Lin Qi as she was leaving the stage. Lin Qi nearly fell, but managed to catch herself. She was a little angry—was this woman insane? Even during a performance, she was pulling these tricks.

Hadn’t she already achieved her wish to dance in the very center? Lin Qi was aware that the little lady had schemed her way to that position—it wasn’t originally hers—and yet, without Lin Qi saying anything, that woman had come charging over to bump her. Was she trying to make Lin Qi fall?

Lin Qi was particularly unhappy, feeling that it was rotten luck to encounter such a woman—being disliked for no apparent reason was her least favorite situation. Sometimes she hadn’t done anything, and yet this woman would constantly target her, possibly even framing her—it was very bothersome.

However, in her life, why were there so many people like that? Perhaps she was naturally an easy target for villains. Anyway, she didn’t want to think too much about it and could only glower back fiercely, feeling a twisted joy, as she mockingly said with a twirl of her hips and a smile.

"So what if you got close to the boss? How could you possibly beat me? From the beginning, standing in the very center, I’ve captured everyone’s attention, and all the tips will come only to me."
