Chapter 294: Chapter 294 Straight Back at You Chapter 294: Chapter 294 Straight Back at You The host laughed. “Our family members are so enthusiastic, I don’t even know whom to choose.” She scanned the audience and her gaze fixed on Luo Qiao.
Luo Qiao cocked her head towards Luo Haotian and said, “Do you think she might call on me to perform on stage?”
Luo Haotian laughed, “She’s Administrator Sun of the Publicity Department, her name is Sun Guixiang, she’s the niece of Deputy Director Qiao’s wife.”
Just then, Sun Guixiang said with a smile, “Could everyone quiet down for a moment? I do have an idea. I’ve heard that the daughter recently acknowledged by Deputy Director Luo is also here today, and most of us don’t know her yet, right? Do you want to get to know her?”
Luo Qiao sneered, looking at the girl with contempt. She was being manipulated without being aware of it, surely it was Qiao Meng who was fanning the flames behind this charade.
The Luo Family members all had grim expressions. Both the factory and the residential pound knew that Luo Qiao had e from a rural area, and now in front of so many people, wasn’t this about making Luo Qiao go up and make a fool of herself?
While everyone was abuzz with discussion, Luo Qiao stood up. Luo Haotian held on to Luo Qiao, saying, “We don’t have to force ourselves, it’s alright.”
Luo Qiao said indifferently, “It’s fine, I won’t lose face for the Luo Family, and I won’t let anyone bully me either.”
Luo Qiao stepped out of the spectator seats. There were steps in front leading up to the stage. She walked up confidently, took the microphone handed to her by a staff member, spoke briefly with the band beside her, and then moved to the center of the stage.
Sun Guixiang hadn’t expected Luo Qiao to really e up. It was her own decision to have Luo Qiao e up today – partly because Qiao Meng had said so many bad things about Luo Qiao, and partly because she had just learned that one of the acts could not go on and needed another act to fill the time.
Sun Guixiang had a fairly good relationship with Zhao Jianing before, so she thought since Luo Qiao came from a small place, it would not hurt to have her embarrass herself, and it would also serve as a vent for Zhao Jianing.
Once Luo Qiao got her footing, she preemptively asked, “I want to ask the host, how did you e up with this interactive segment today? Is there a problem with your program, or did someone instruct you to do this?”
Luo Qiao didn’t want to give anyone face, and she just asked outright.
Sun Guixiang did not expect Luo Qiao to be so daring as to disregard the face of Deputy Director Luo’s family and to directly ask such a question in front of all the factory’s staff and their families.
Sun Guixiang’s plexion didn’t look good either, and she said, “What are you saying? I didn’t expect the daughter of Deputy Director Luo to have such a sense of humor.”
Luo Qiao said, “I’m not some lady of wealth. I might think you’re being sarcastic, oh. Among so many family members of the factory workers, I’m honored you chose me. Of course, I know why you chose me.
After all, Deputy Director Qiao’s niece just stopped me yesterday to give me a scolding, so it must be intentional to make me lose face today to air grievances for your friend Zhao Jianing. But you’re going to be disappointed, as I do have a smidgen of talent.”
At these words, the audience erupted, not having expected the daughter newly acknowledged by Deputy Director Luo to be so straightforward, nor that she’d disregard the face of Deputy Director Qiao in front of so many people. Wasn’t this creating problems for the two deputy directors?
Luo Qiao had intended to say this. She had lived this life once already and never intended to mistreat herself. Initially planning to deal with Qiao Meng slowly over time, but since she sought her own disfort, why not fulfill her wishes.
Also, she wanted to see the reaction of the Luo Family, whether they would unreservedly stand by her side, consider her interests at all times, and finally, to warn those in the residential pound who, pretending to have Zhao Jianing’s best interests at heart, sought trouble without cause.
Qiao Meng was breaking out in cold sweats backstage; she hadn’t expected Luo Qiao to be such a fool to dare to bluntly say such things in front of so many people. Was she trying to doom her?
Sun Guixiang hadn’t expected Luo Qiao to guess her intention so directly. She just hadn’t cultivated her skills enough, and her expression was momentarily unnatural, clearly visible to the audience.
When she came to her senses, she heard Luo Qiao saying, “Don’t worry, I’m not the kind to fuss over these trifles, and you’ve been misled by others. Since your program has encountered a problem, then I’ll reluctantly lend you a hand. No need for excessive gratitude!”
