"Really sorry. It's my negligence in management. Please calm down."
The organizer kept repeating these one or two sentences, which annoyed Yuan Meng.
Noticing her increasing impatience, Ling Qianchen was about to signal his secretary to escort the person out so as not to annoy him. Just then, the organizer spoke again.
"Regarding this matter, we are truly in the wrong. We're also willing to show our utmost sincerity!"
After saying that, the organizer quickly took out a check from his pocket and said with an embarrassed smile, "This is a little token of our appreciation. Please accept it."
The organizer didn't intend to take it out so soon at first. After all, no one wants to do a losing business, even though they were in the wrong.
However, compared to protecting this "compensation" money, stabilizing these two big shots was the top priority!
Ignoring the organizer's flattery, Ling Qianchen reached out, took the check, and passed it to Yuan Meng to look at.
Yuan Meng was a bit of a money - grubber. Especially when she saw the extra zero on the check, the corner of her mouth curled up in pleasure.
The organizer lowered his head slightly, but it didn't mean he wasn't stealing glances at Yuan Meng. Seeing her look obviously more pleased, the heart that had been hanging in mid - air finally landed.
Fortunately, he listened to his assistant and prepared this check, which also spared him from being kicked out!
The organizer heaved a sigh of relief. The staff member, who still thought they had done nothing wrong so far, glared at Yuan Meng resentfully.
Yuan Meng noticed, but she was willing to forgive the staff member's stupidity for the sake of this compensation.
"You should leave now." Ling Qianchen said unhappily.
The apology had been made. These two unobservant people were still standing here. Did they want to be kicked out by him?
The organizer was a shrewd person. His eyes quietly wandered between Ling Qianchen and Yuan Meng, then he nodded knowingly.
"Okay, we'll leave right away."
After saying that, regardless of the staff member's wishes who was still glaring at Yuan Meng, he directly dragged the person away.
Outside the restaurant, the staff member became even more unhappy and even had the impulse to go back.
The organizer saw the staff member's emotions and shook his head with a sigh.
This young girl was really too young and didn't understand the terror of power!
"You're very dissatisfied?"
The staff member was stunned and said insincerely, "How dare I."
"I think you dare!"
Angered by the staff member's attitude, the organizer no longer had his previous patience.
"Don't think you're the only one who's wronged. Fortunately, these two didn't care. Otherwise, you would surely be in big trouble."
The more in awe and cautious the organizer was, the more curious the staff member became about Ling Qianchen and Yuan Meng's identities.
"You still haven't told me what that gentleman's identity is."
That man clearly had an extraordinary identity. As for that woman...
There was no need to know!
The staff member's little thoughts were seen through by the organizer.
"That gentleman is not someone you should have any ideas about."
The way Mr. Ling treated Miss Ai Yue was so different from the way he treated them. Anyone with eyes could see the difference.
Caught with her thoughts exposed, a look of embarrassment flashed across the staff member's face. Fortunately, the organizer didn't say anything more.
After receiving the money, Yuan Meng was overjoyed. Her attitude towards Ling Qianchen even became a bit more patient.
After dinner, Yuan Meng originally intended to go her own way. However, Ling Qianchen was reluctant to part, so she had to let him accompany her for a while.
Without even turning her head, Yuan Meng could feel the burning gaze beside her. The corner of her mouth twitched.
This man had been staring at her all the way. Didn't his eyes get tired?
"Mr. Ling, do you have something to say?"
Unable to stand his staring anymore, Yuan Meng decided to take the initiative and break this awkward silence.
Ling Qianchen shook his head and smiled, "No."
"Then do you think I went too far?"
Hearing her implication, Ling Qianchen finally stopped smiling, looked serious, and shook his head.
"Yueyue, you did nothing wrong."
This matter wasn't initiated by her. It was only right for the organizer to come and apologize.
She was right.
Yuan Meng was slightly stunned. She never expected him to seriously say that she did nothing wrong.
However, she didn't really care about his opinion. Even if he thought she was wrong, she wouldn't change her mind or actions, because...
She didn't want to care about him anymore.
Collecting her thoughts, Yuan Meng shrugged slightly and said, "I'm just like this. If someone deliberately provokes or picks a fight with me, they have to pay the corresponding price. What do you think, Mr. Ling?"
For some reason, when he met the smiling look in her eyes, Ling Qianchen felt a bit dazed.
It was as if she was warning him through this matter.
He knew this thought was a bit absurd, but he just felt that way, so he fell into a long - time silence for the rest of the time.
Seeing this, the corner of Yuan Meng's mouth curled up in satisfaction.
This was exactly what she wanted.
If she had known this trick could scare him, she would never have waited until now.
However, it was good like this. At least he wouldn't bother her anymore.
Since she had agreed to forgive the organizer's mistake, Yuan Meng had no reason to keep putting on airs.
However, she didn't want people to think she was easy to bully, so she deliberately arrived at the venue right on time.
The contestants were already in place, and the host, after giving the opening speech, was introducing the identities of the judges one by one.
According to Ling Qianchen and Yuan Meng's status, the organizer specially arranged for them to sit in the middle, the most prominent C - position.
Because of this arrangement, some of the judges were jealous but didn't dare to say anything.
On the contestant's seat, Jake was extremely excited.
The moment he saw her, he had a faint suspicion that Yuan Meng might be one of the contestants. Unexpectedly, she was here as a judge.
After learning that she was a judge, Jake wasn't disappointed at all. On the contrary, the strong desire to conquer in his heart became even stronger.
She was really the woman he had his eye on. She was excellent enough and eye - catching enough!
There were still one or two minutes before the competition. Jake could have rushed over to talk to Yuan Meng, but when he saw Ling Qianchen sitting beside Yuan Meng, his eyes darkened a bit.
This man was a tough competitor!
Even though there was a certain distance, Jake's gaze was still hard to ignore.
Yuan Meng noticed, but she just raised her eyebrows slightly and said nothing. Ling Qianchen, on the other hand, frowned slightly.
He didn't know the identity of that foreign man, but his intuition told him that this man would be very troublesome.
On each judge's table, there were the contestants' profiles. He didn't bother to look through them but instead turned to look at Yuan Meng.
"Yueyue, which of these contestants do you think are good?"
Yuan Meng looked lazy. Her slender fingertips landed on the profile and pointed.
"These few are good. You can pay attention to them."
Just because the competition hadn't started didn't mean she hadn't done her homework in advance.
At first, she thought there was no need to be too serious. It was just a formality. But then she thought that since she was getting paid for this, even if she didn't do it for the organizer's sake, she should at least have a clear conscience.
So, she spent some time getting to know the abilities and achievements of these contestants.
Ling Qianchen quietly memorized the ones Yuan Meng pointed out. When the competition started, he also observed them a bit seriously. But -
"This one was 0.01 seconds slower in reaction."
"This one is too impatient and easy for opponents to take advantage of."
"This one is too ugly."
There were only about a dozen contestants in this batch, and those she had taken a fancy to were almost picked apart by him.
Yuan Meng was speechless but didn't say anything. After all, everyone had different opinions.
But then, he said something like this.
"The skills of these few are all inferior to yours."
