Chapter 974 - 984: Exchange (Part 1)
Chapter 974: Chapter 984: Exchange (Part 1)
Actually, even if Luo Susu hadn’t played the best before, no one would dare say anything now.
Because with one word from Lin Xi, the four burly security guards dared to treat the judges like this, as for others, needless to say.
Besides, who would dare to offend this young man?
Isn’t that courting death?
Just when everyone thought Luo Susu wouldn’t refuse, they saw her shaking her head, "No need!"
"I don’t want the first place!"
Instantly, there was shock on and off the stage, but it made sense when you thought about it.
With such a formidable boyfriend and such outstanding piano skills, does she still need this award? Or rely on it to prove herself?
Obviously not!
Moreover, she will definitely be a sought-after participant in various competitions in the future.
Because in the piano world, being strong doesn’t mean you’ll be suppressed, rather, the stronger you are, the more respect you gain.
In fact, it’s similar in every field.
The only thing is, you also need a strong backing.
For Luo Susu, everyone sees Lin Xi as her strong backing.
"But," the host was troubled, just as she was about to explain, she saw Luo Susu, without looking back, pulling Lin Xi’s hand and heading toward the door.
She also said, "I need your organization to make a reasonable and public apology!"
"Otherwise, I will forever refuse to participate in any of your organization’s competitions!"
The four security guards exchanged glances but said nothing, following Lin Xi and Luo Susu.
Even though they feared Lin Xi, that’s nearly a year’s salary!
So they couldn’t care less, following along like lackeys.
The host was extremely embarrassed standing on the stage, but fortunately most people’s attention was on Lin Xi and Luo Susu, hardly anyone noticed her expression.
"This..."
She was now very troubled!
An apology must be made, but a reasonable and public apology, as they require, clearly doesn’t mean a simple phone call or face-to-face apology, it definitely needs public awareness.
"This is a disaster!"
"The year-end bonus is definitely gone, or if I’m not fired, that would be lucky!"
After all, she wasn’t just a host, if she were only that, this would have nothing to do with her.
The key is, she was one of the organizers of this competition.
Her gaze suddenly turned deadly towards the five corrupt judges slumped in their chairs.
It’s baffling that they, with some notoriety, would do such things.
Were they blinded by greed?
And that Korean, why are you getting involved in the Korea contestant’s competition? What do you care?
If you’re patriotic, then why did you take another nationality?
Now she has nothing but hatred for such people, wanting to destroy them.
Even though the first place left, the audience wasn’t that interested, but she still had to conclude the competition.
Otherwise, it would be even more of a failure.
"Today’s incident is our mistake!" she picked up the microphone again, bowed deeply to the audience, "I apologize here to everyone, hoping for your forgiveness!"
Seeing everyone silent and unresponsive, she felt a little relieved.
In this case, no trouble is the best consolation.
Next, she began calling for staff to bring up the trophy and invited several judges to present the award.
Of course, the first place is still Luo Susu’s, even though she left, it doesn’t affect it.
Although there was no trouble, the overall atmosphere became extremely awkward.
On the street, each of the four security guards held a thick stack of cash, at least hundreds of thousands.
And Lin Xi and Luo Susu were no longer there.
"Captain, is this real?" one of the eldest security guards asked the leader, feeling a bit dazed.
Even though the money was in their hands, they still felt unreal, like living in a dream.
"It’s real!" replied the leading security guard.
As the captain, he must be resolute at this moment to stabilize the team, which is the essence of being a captain.
"Captain, I mean, is this money real? Is it really RMB? Can it really be exchanged for British Pounds?" "Among us, only you traveled abroad and went to college!"
"Even the appearance, it’s my first time seeing it!" "I’ve heard it’s very valuable!"
The other two nodded, expressing agreement.
The captain himself was uncertain, he did travel, but only across an international strait.
Huaxia, such a mystical place, he certainly hadn’t been, having heard of its many delicious foods and incredible safety, where one can walk outside at midnight without fear of robbery.
But in front of his subordinates, he couldn’t admit ignorance.
Moreover, his judgment of people is quite accurate, Lin Xi doesn’t seem like someone who’d deceive them, or rather, doesn’t care enough to.
"We’ll go over there to exchange it, and you’ll see!" he said confidently, but was inwardly anxious.
Such a large amount of money!
Even if confirmed real, it still causes concern.
He wisely didn’t assure it with certainty, leaving room for uncertainty in case it was fake and he couldn’t take the blame.
Next, the three anxious and excited security guards, led by their captain, went to a nearby Travelex to exchange their RMB for British Pounds.
"You go first!" the captain pointed at the youngest security guard.
"Okay..."
He naturally wouldn’t refuse.
To him, the captain seemed confident from start to finish, with no sign of worry.
So, why be afraid?
This must be real!
He and his colleagues all thought so.
The captain, apart from sending him, stood silently aside without saying anything.
"Hello, can you exchange RMB here?" he asked at the counter, addressing the plump staff lady.
The lady glanced at him coldly, "Exchange RMB?"
"Why are you exchanging RMB?"
"Are you going to Huaxia?"
The young security guard froze, realizing his mistake, and with a foolish smile, said, "No, no, I mean, can I exchange RMB for British Pounds here?"
The lady glanced at him again, clearly doubting if he picked up some stray RMB.
"Yes!" though skeptical, she replied.
After all, they don’t care where the money comes from.
With a "bang!", a thick stack of RMB was placed before her, while the smiling security guard grinned widely at her.
