Chapter 662: Unworthy person gets authority/power
Lin Yun left with a sense of pride after uttering those words, not wanting to see what kind of expression Lin Qi had. Anyway, she just considered Lin Qi a mere buffoon who wasn’t even on her level, so what use were they?
That’s enough for now, no one could possibly be her rival; she was the leader of the pack in this dance audition. Her primary goal was to make Shen Dong regret the way he treated her, and that alone was sufficient. She didn’t care about the rest, unaware that a change of fate was about to confront her.
Lin Qi descended the stage quite upset. Despite her diligent practice, why couldn’t she stand in the center spot? Being relegated to the corners, even a slightly off-center position would have been acceptable, but standing there, what did it amount to?
Was her dancing really that poor? Feeling dejected, she thought her promise had fallen through; she couldn’t attain first place and prove herself to Shen Dong, thus embarrassing him. But if not this time, she would keep striving, just like the relentless weeds that grow back after each cutting.
As Lin Qi was silently cheering herself up, she felt a surge of greater determination—as if the challenge was just a test and many more opportunities were to come. In a few months, she could have transformed. Right now, she indeed wasn’t too familiar with some moves, but who could guarantee she wouldn’t succeed in the future?
After psyching herself up, Lin Qi was certain she could do it, but decided to send a message to Shen Dong first to let him know about the situation. She wasn’t asking for his help to adjust the data, just wanted him to know that her loss wasn’t due to a lack of effort on her part, but rather an inevitable outcome despite it.
Before she could send the message, she was approached by a manager, apparently Mr. Lin. He seemed anxious about something, but she stood there calmly.
Mr. Lin spoke warmly upon arrival, "Miss Lin, I’m sorry for the mix-up earlier when I swapped your position with Lin Yun’s. Could you stand in the center for the next round? I sincerely apologize; it was my mistake. I didn’t realize your dancing abilities were quite capable—I misunderstood."
Mr. Lin’s sincere demeanor was overheard by Lin Yun, who was standing nearby. To her, it sounded unbelievable. How could Lin Qi’s dancing be better than hers? Perhaps Mr. Lin had also taken a bribe? Lin Yun was irate.
