"Yes!"Hearing the woman say this, the gold-rimmed glasses man swiftly shut her door and sat in the front passenger seat, keeping silent.This was Isaac Robinson, marketing director of Clark Group's apparel department. And the woman was the renowned Chairwoman of Clark Group - Daisy Clark.The very same school belle that Evan had just saved half an hour ago in the hills behind campus!Life really is full of coincidences and surprises everywhere!After marketing director Brian Davis and regional manager Caleb Martin were also seated, Daisy removed her mask. With a stern face she asked, "So what exactly is this complaint about? Tell me the situation!"Caleb Martin quickly took over explaining, "There's a young man called Evan who came to our Lumina City branch to buy clothes. The store manager and a female sales associate looked down on him tremendously. So this Evan made a complaint call.""The situation isn't just that."Marketing director Brian Davis took over, continuing, "This youn
While Daisy and her inspection team rushed over, Scott Hunt had already started defending himself."What grounds do you have to complain about me?"Scott Hunt glanced at the customers in the store, signaling Vanessa to chase them out first. Then he stood before Evan, arguing slyly, "Did I stop you from buying clothes?"Watching customers getting kicked out one by one, Evan naturally knew Scott Hunt's intention - eliminating witnesses!After all, the inspection team wasn't here just to listen to Evan's side. Of course they wouldn't simply believe Scott Hunt either. Relevant evidence would be needed to make a judgment. Now with the witnesses gone, Evan lost a lethal weapon. Speaking of evidence, Evan looked up at the surveillance cameras in the store. He noticed another detail - the indicator lights had stayed off since he entered!Meaning the surveillance system had been manually turned off the moment he stepped foot in the store!This was exactly the same tactic used to frame Evan ba
"Not satisfied!"Evan pointed at Sofia, "She's very good. Truly treating customers as gods and knowing your company regulations perfectly. Doesn't such talent deserve some reward?""I see!" The corners of Daisy's lips curled up. She announced again, "Effective immediately, Sofia is appointed manager of the H&M boutique. Her appointment letter will arrive shortly!"However, when announcing Sofia as manager this time, an inexplicable sourness welled up in her heart. This sourness gradually revealed disappointment on her face."Mr. Smith, are you satisfied now?"Daisy carefully hid her disappointment and took out a name card from her wallet, saying to Evan, "This is my name card. Since you bought our entire store inventory, you're a major customer of our company. If you have any other opinions in the future, you can directly call my private number. Also, I'll have someone deliver the clothes you bought back for you.""No need, I called a moving company!"Evan didn't take her name card.
The next morning, before dawn had fully broken, an unfamiliar number called Evan's phone. "Hello, is this Bella's brother Evan? I'm her roommate Ava.""Yeah?" Evan mumbled sleepily, "I'm Evan, who's this?""..." Ava was silent for a while before responding, "I'm Ava. Bella gave me your number and said you're a good dancer. Our school is having a freshman welcome party and Bella got you a spot - you'll be my partner.""Hmm... don't listen to her, I can't dance. Anyway, gotta go back to sleep, I'm dead tired. Bye." Evan immediately hung up and drifted off again.But less than five minutes later, his sister Bella called: "Bro, show some ambition! I went through so much trouble to set you up with Ava, and you're trying to wheedle your way out again?""Bella?" Evan stirred slightly, eyes still closed. "Huh? What's going on? Ava? Set up? I'm confused."Even when angry, Bella's voice remained gentle. "Bro, you know we're starting at Elysia Film and TV University in a couple weeks. Our acting
"The welcome party is still over ten days away, isn't it? This isn't a rehearsal - it's an ambush! Why didn't you give me advance notice?" Ava glanced at the nearly hundred students and performers below, anger glinting in her bright eyes."Showing up in such numbers to watch a rehearsal? If you insist on making this a live performance, forget it - I won't rehearse today. I still need to practice more with Evan.""Oh, more practice? Let me expose you - word is spreading that your partner Evan is a total amateur! Saying you need to practice is just a cover so he doesn't embarrass himself in front of us, right? Ha, refusing to rehearse? We're students at Elysia Film and TV University - we don't need practice like some outsider!" "Ava, I'm telling you clearly - participation in today's rehearsal is mandatory per school rules! This is what you get for passing up all the trained dance students to pick an amateur! You brought this on yourself!""Fine, don't rehearse - just make my brother
"Uh..." Evan broke into a cold sweat."Hey you two, this is school - mind your behavior! Save the flirting for at home!" Juliette scoffed disdainfully. "Now that he's here, let's see what this outsider can really do! Go get changed - you're up next!""No costume change! We can't perform!" Ava's finely arched brows drew together as she gritted her teeth. "I thought this was just a personal rehearsal. Evan and I haven't practiced together or chosen a routine yet. How can we perform? You're clearly trying to embarrass him - don't you think that's too much?"She looked up pleadingly at Evan. "Let's go, Evan. No show today - this is all my fault for dragging you into this mess. I'm truly sorry. We should leave now - we can't let these schemers succeed!""You dare try to leave? I'll give you a demerit if you walk out, Ava!" Isaiah bellowed, his neck flushed red. Gabriel chimed in, "That's right - you must perform today no matter what!""Tsk, it's just a dance, why make things difficult for
As the atmosphere built towards wave after wave of climax, the entire audience was on their feet, clapping along to the beat as they witnessed this once-in-a-century street dance performance. When the accompaniment paused, Evan dramatically flung his gentleman's hat into the crowd.The spectators instantly erupted into madness, with dozens of female students rushing towards where the hat had flown.In that moment, there was no more "rehearsal" - only Evan the lone Dance King on stage, with hundreds of worshipping followers below."Mr. Long, Mr. Long! You left the livestream on!" Jonathan, crouched in the corner with Kevin Long, was still stunned as he awkwardly reminded, "Any plan C? Plan B doesn't seem to have worked."Kevin Long's face was also twisted in ugly dismay. He stared at Evan on stage in sheer horror, as if at a demon. "How is this possible? I checked - Bella's brother can't dance at all! How is he this good?!""Yeah, I can't believe it either. But he's done and he dance
Evan got more frustrated by the second, but the System remained silent as the grave."Fine, be that way!" The System's lack of response felt like punching cotton - no impact at all. Oh well, might as well focus on the current task!Evan quickened his pace towards the Mall when his landlady Makayla Simpson suddenly called:"Evan, you ran off, didn't you? I waited all night! When will you pay the owed rent? If not by today, I'm tossing out your stuff and raising the rent to $3000 a month!""Hah! You wouldn't dare!" Evan scoffed. "If you discard my things, I'll make you regret living! I'm at the Automobile Mall now - come get your rent if you want, but I'm not delivering it. I don't plan on staying in your dump any longer!"Truthfully, all Evan had left in the rental was some old clothing, cheap but bought with his parents' hard-earned money. He absolutely refused to let that go."Automobile Mall?" Makayla paused, then jeered, "So you got a job there? Pretty diligent finding new work -
