Chapter 192 Respect Dancing


    "Mr. Xi, please don''t worry. We''ll talk after I''ve finished the conversation with Mr. Wang." Maria


    wanted to buy some time so that she could think about how to make James happy. After all, she


    made a lot of promises to Mr. Wang without even telling James in advance, which made her feel


    guilty.


    James fell silent.


    Mr. Wang was not stupid. He smiled and pushed his sses on the bridge of his nose. He had


    already made up his mind.


    Honestly, he did not really believe Maria, much less thepany that she had just started.


    Since she could make James the guarantor and she dared to interrupt him for a conversation, Mr.


    Wang could tell that the rtionship between the two was not ordinary. He would like to cooperate


    with her for the sake of James. If anything happened in the future, he nned on going straight to


    James.


    Mr. Wang cleared his throat and said, "Ms. Song, I understand what you''ve said. Everyone knows


    that quality is the most important in a project. If you can guarantee that the quality of the product is


    excellent and it speaks for itself, I''ll be fine with that."


    Maria was overjoyed upon hearing his words. She nced at James, who was wearing a slightly


    sullen expression, and reassured, "Of course! I am an honest businesswoman. I''m eager to gain a


    firm foothold in the city. You can rest assured that I''ll definitely do this project well."


    What she had promised actually came from the bottom of her heart. Mr. Wang had experienced the


    same situation she was currently in, so it was natural for him to understand where she wasing


    from. Thepany''s initial development relied on its reputation. It needed time so that Maria could


    gain what she wanted in H City.


    Mr. Wang nodded in response. "Mr. Xi and Ms. Song, if you are free, you can have a tour of my


    company. If you have no other concerns, we can sign the contract then."


    As a matter of fact, he wanted to maintain a good rtionship with James. But in order to do so, he


    had to cooperate with Maria.


    Knowing that she had gained the opportunity to work with Mr. Wang on the project for certain, Maria


    felt relieved. She poured a ss of liquor for him and said, "That''s not a problem. Just tell us when


    you''re free, Mr. Wang."


    "How about the afternoon of the day after tomorrow? I''ll be on a business trip tomorrow and will


    come back by then."


    "Deal!"


    An hourter, Mr. Wang left. Maria sent him off herself. When she came back to the private room,


    she closed the door and sat on James''sp. She then wrapped her arms around his neck and


    coquettishly said, "James, we made it! I''m so happy. Why do you seem discontented?"


    Maria was ecstatic. On the other hand, James did not seem so. She tricked him! Why should he be


    happy? "The guarantor? Soren Li? Give me an exnation." If he was not mistaken, he had to be


    the middleman for Soren and her.


    Maria did not take his outburst seriously. Instead, she pecked on his lips and said seductively, "Oh,


    I''m sorry. Would an apology suffice?" "Nope." "An apology can''t even satisfy you? Hmm. How about


    this? I''ll give you fifty person of my first return on investment of this project." Maria believed that her


    offer was generous enough to make him feel better.


    However, James was unconvinced. He pulled himself away from the woman who was trying to dwell


    on the trivial facts and avoid the important matters. "It''s not about the money."


    Maria decided not to pester him anymore. Instead, she got up and sat next to him. She then picked


    up a piece of pork using her chopsticks and brought it to his lips. "I know that, but it''s not your loss.


    Don''t be mad anymore. Please forgive me, okay?" she said with a smile.


    James looked at the pork that was being served to him and replied sternly, "I don''t eat pork. I eat


    human flesh."


    Hearing this, Maria choked. She knew what he meant, and she had to satisfy him. With that, she


    stood up and held his arm. "Let''s go, Honey. I''ll take you out to eat human flesh."


    A smile shed across James'' eyes, but he returned to his normal self right away. "Let go of me. It''s


    not appropriate for you to do this," he said in his usual cold tone.


    Maria looked at him and gritted her teeth in response. "You''d better think the same wayter."


    James lowered his head and sealed her lips with a kiss. "You''d better be arrogant as wellter," he


    retorted with his lips attached to hers.


    Maria fell silent. When facing a beast in bed, there was no way she could continue being arrogant.


    In the evening, the battle in Fairview Vi was quite intense.


    Perhaps it was because of Maria''s protest at James'' grandparent''s house that he did not leave the


    Fairview Vi immediately after.


    Later that evening, Maria had no idea whether James slept soundly or not. Nevertheless, she had a


    good sleep because he had warmed her bed up. When she woke up in the morning, he had already


    left for thepany to work.


    Everything was going well ording to Maria''s n. Not long after, Dani joined the reality show.


    After her performance, one of the judges criticized her unexpectedly. "Did you pay someone to join


    this program? Did you really think that that was dancing? Could you respect dancing even a bit?


    Besides, what the hell were you singing?”


    The atmosphere suddenly became cold, and the audience burst into an uproar. Embarrassed, there


    was nothing Dani could do but smile awkwardly at the judge.


    "What are you smiling at? I''m not kidding!" the judge snapped.


    Dani was furious that she was being humiliated, so she fired back, "I''ve attended a variety show


    before and got a prize. You can search for the video if you don''t believe me."


    On the electric screen, someone yed the video of her dancing in another show to win the prize.


    To everyone''s surprise, the judge began to express his displeasure after watching the video for only


    thirty seconds. "Did you think you looked good in that dress? Wasn''t that thetest arrival of


    Fashion Gxy? You looked like a vige girl who was trying hard to be pretty. Thanks to you, the


    dress ispletely ruined."


    The audience burst into an uproar once again. Meanwhile, Dani could not help but cry on the


    stage because of the judge''s mean remarks.


    ''Who the hell is this judge? Wherever I go, I''ve always been everyone''s apple of the eye. Nobody


    dared to talk to me like that! Right now, there are thousands of people watching the show!'' she


    thought to herself while she was choked in sobs.


    Although she looked pathetic, the judge''s heart did not soften because of her tears. He stood up


    and asked loudly, "Where''s the director? How could you put such a person on the stage? You just


    wasted my time! Don''t you know that you''re also insulting the artists who are more qualified to join


    this program?"? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    The scene was very awkward. None of the people present stood up for Dani. The audience were


    unsure whether it was because nobody dared to do so or because nobody was willing to stand up


    for her.


    The show was being broadcasted live. It was already toote to cut off that segment, so everyone


    who was watching saw everything. In an instant, the video garnered fierce reactions and heated


    debates on the Inte.


    Tear-stained, Dani left the filming site at once. Her assistant, who was sitting in the car, was too


    scared and panic-stricken to speak.


    Dani cried for a while, and took out her phone to browse the social media. Aside from her, there


    was another person who was trending.


    That person was trending at the moment because of her.


    Like Dani, that person started her career as a celebrity by shooting travel vlogs. Dani opened


    that person''s home page and found that she had about ten million fans, several million more than


    her.


    She clicked thement section of the first video. The topment read, "Compared to yours,


    someone''s video is just rubbish and boring! Guess who? Her surname is Song."


    "We''re all here to see the scenery. Who even wants to look at her face? She''s not pretty anyway.


    Her face and figure aren''t even that good."


    "I have no idea why she suddenly became famous. I heard that she has a backer."


    Thement section of the reality show was swarmed with negativements. Netizens were


    tantly cursing and insulting her. Some even sided with the judge. They said that he was


    absolutely right for doing that to her, and it was actually a gentle remark to save her dignity.


    Dani was so furious that she almost smashed her phone into pieces. She thought hard for a long


    time and finally realized that these negativements muste from those paid Inte trolls.


    She guessed that the person behind these paid Inte trolls must have been jealous of her and


    wanted to give her a hard time.
