Slap on the face

Manager Zhang comprehended the situation instantly.

This department store was the largest and most high-end in the city. It was inevitable that the salespeople would occasionally judge a book by its cover and behave scornfully toward the poor. Manager Zhang had always felt that poor people would comprehend their status and not simply visit the store and hence, he always turned a blind eye to his staff's misbehavior. Unexpectedly, they had made such a horrible mistake today and caused him a great disaster.

"Go to the human resources department to settle your salary. You don't have to come in to work after today." Manager Zhang fired the saleswoman immediately. He then turned to Lu Ning and apologized profusely. "Miss Lu, I'm very sorry for the incident today, it's my fault for not properly training my staff. I sincerely apologize on behalf of the department store. Have a look around today and whatever you like, just take it, it's on the house."

The way Manager Zhang was speaking humbly and his smiling face surprised the saleswoman and security guard.

Manger zhang the saleswoman face became pale as white sheet. I'am so sorry Manager Zhang please forgive me this time I'll never make such mistake again.

"Aren't you apologizing the wrong person. Bo Mian said coldly

I'm sorry miss!

I'm sorry, i will never do this to you miss

Lu Ning ignore her and took the piece of clothing right away. She really liked this one l'll take this and please give me one of that in same size.

Lu Ning handed the clothes to manager Zhang. This store is also property of Si family previously grandpa Si had given her golden card

Which used by only few people so this card is extremely important. Only less than 10 people have this pass. And there is number written on the card which only available for gold card members.

So when Lu Ning made call on this number the shop manager came here less than in a minute.

After paying for the things Lu Ning and Bo Mian went in restaurant to eat something. After they done they started strolling around the mall

Mian its still early let's go to the club. Hmm I'm also thinking about that. A female singer with a neutral voice had finished singing a sentimental English song. She bowed deeply to the audience with her guitar on her back and left the stage.

Lu Ning and Bo Mian suddenly fell silent.

Their eyes wandered around the bar looking at all the people. Some were partying with alcohol, and others were drinking to drown their sorrows.

Lu Ning felt bored, probably due to the fact that she couldn't drink.

"Today is our tenth wedding anniversary and I'll be singing a song for my wife. Ten years ago, I sang this song to woo her outside her university dorm. I would like to thank her for staying by my side these past ten years; through poverty or riches…"

A middle-aged man's voice appeared from the stage as he expressed his heartfelt feelings. It attracted everyone's attention.

A slightly plump guy wearing a blue striped shirt stood on the stage with a microphone. He was gazing at a corner with a blissful and contented smile on his face.

Lu Ning followed his gaze and it led her to a lady in black. The bar was dimly lit so she couldn't clearly make out her features. She could only see her holding a rose and had the same blissful smile on her face.

The lights changed color and the soft and slightly sorrowful melody began playing in the background.

It was a song that most were familiar with, 'Love again '.

"It's a pity love isn't a few drops of tears, neither is it a few love letters. In that case, it would seem a little cruel…"

Lu Ning was fully immersed as she listened to the song. When the song reached its climax, she couldn't help but hum along.

The song ended and the wife went on stage to give the rose to her husband. There was a round of raucous applause and a few mischievous youths were whistling enthusiastically.

Lu Ning 's soul seemed to have left her body and floated elsewhere.

"Ning Ning , follow me."

Suddenly, Bo Mian stretched her hand and grabbed Wen Xuxu's arm. She started pulling her towards the stage.

Lu Ning sensed what she was up to and immediately protested, "Bo Mian , stop fooling around."

Bo Mian was determined to drag Lu Ning onstage so she could display her singing skills. She used all her strength to pull her.

When she saw that Ning was completely uncooperative, she raised her head and whistled to rally the support of the good-looking guys sitting at the tables nearby. "Handsome guys, my sister here has a really good voice. Do you want to hear her sing?"

Yes, we do!" The guys were all cooperative and whistled flirtatiously in response to Bo Mian. But their eyes were fixated on Lu Ning

With everyone looking at her, Lu Ning face was flushed from the crowd's attention. She glared fiercely at Bo Mian

Bo Mian took advantage of the opportunity and pulled her onstage.

Lu Ning wasn't someone who suffered from stage fright but she didn't really like such places. She would have preferred to stay at home and read her elaborate romance novels.

Two pretty girls were onstage, heightening the excitement in the atmosphere. There were endless whistles and cheering directed at them.

"We should be having fun and going crazy at this age. Ning Ning , you're already 19 this year, have you ever let loose before?"

Bo Mian wasn't using the microphone yet. Her tone was serious yet regretful as she asked Bo Mian the question.

.

Had she ever let loose before?

Lu Ning asked herself in her heart. Can I count that time as one?

"Come on, let everyone witness how charming you are." Bo Mian removed the microphone from the stand and stuffed it in Lu Ning 's hands.

Lu Ning lowered her head and stared at the microphone. Her tiny hands seemed a little pale under the purple lighting.

She took a deep breath and the crowd all fell silent at the same time.

"I'll sing a song 'I love you by Jew." Lu Ning grasped the microphone and brought it close to her mouth. Her sweet and pure voice made the audience feel as though they were drinking nature's spring water. It relaxed their bodies and minds.

She finished her sentence and the sound system staff immediately found the song's accompaniment.

The melody of the song began and Lu Ning 'smouth curled lightly into a faint smile.

Her inner confidence didn't need to be deliberately shown. Her expression in her eyes and smile were enough.

"We've been doing this war dance together for some time, I know…"

When Lu Ning started to sing, Bo Mian was surprised to see and many faces in the crowd had looks of surprise and astonishment.

Lu Ning had always been like this; she could always amaze others.

"Bo Yan, isn't that Bo Mian?"
