Chapter 364: Chapter 364: You Forcedto Play the Rogue
Three steaks were served, but the atmosphere at that moment was entirely off.
Even the innocent Yao Wan Jiao felt that what Ren Tian’ai had done just now was problematic. After all, since
ancient times, it’s been customary to carry out tasks in exchange for money, and it was clear that Ren Tian'ai
had accepted gifts yet failed to deliver, which was somewhat unreasonable.
"Senior sister, | do recall that Bai Xue, even though she’s not a professional Dancer, her fundamentals are quite
solid. She performs the less difficult moves quite standardly, and her musicality is pretty decent too. She should
be able to hold her own in the County Art Troupe, right?"
As the proud student of Peacock Dance King and a national first-class dance performer, comparing Bai Xue to
Yao Wan Jiao was naturally out of the question. But if comparing her to the County Art Troupe, it would be a piece
of cake.
"Junior sister, you're top-notch at dancing, but you should steer clear of meddling in worldly affairs. Many things
aren't as simple as they appear. As it stands, the troupe isn’t short of people, so let's talk about this later."
Ren Tian’ai waved her hand and directly changed the subject, "I've heard that our master’s stage play is nearing
its end, and this the intends to promote you to play the third female lead. It seems you won't be long from
becoming a master-class Dancer, which is truly enviable. You must dance well and not disappoint our master.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnlike me, having danced for over twenty years and still leading such a thankless life, especially remember not
to fall in love. Our master abhors it the most. Many sisters have stumbled over this, so you must be extra
cautious."
"Senior sister, | understand!"
Yao Wan Jiao, with a guilty conscience, immediately lowered her head and fell silent. A little terrified, she feared
Ren Tian’ai would discover something. Beside her, Lin Fan scrutinized Ren Tian’ai with puzzlement; her thuggish
behavior was indeed strange.
Typically, people would delay or shirk their responsibilities after accepting money, but he had never seen anyone
who outright rejected to carry out the task after being paid. It was a particularly vile way to behave.
After a moment of consideration and increasingly puzzled, Lin Fan thought for a bit and then took out a
document envelope from behind him, smiling as he handed it to Ren Tian’ai, "Mr. Ren, Bai Xue’'s matter isn't a
big deal after all. Besides, the County Art Troupe isn’t exactly a government position, and one more person
wouldn't make much of a difference. Please kindly accept this small gesture."
"Is this your idea or her husband's?"
Ren Tian’ai put down her knife and fork, took the envelope, and upon seeing the three bundles of red bills inside,
was taken aback for a moment before looking at Lin Fan with a smile. Thirty thousand in cash plus a gold
bracelet worth twenty thousand was quite a generous offer, especially considering, as Lin Fan said, the County
Art Troupe she yearned for paid very low salaries—a mere contract worker similar to a state-owned enterprise
employee. The fifty thousand yuan would take her at least a year and a half to earn.
"Of course, it’s her husband's idea. Bai Xue has always longed to dance, so he askedto ensure | seek your
help."
Lin Fan smiled at Ren Tian’ai, and after she put the bills on her side, she spoke with a smile, "I am actually
helping him out now. Tell him that | accept the gesture of thanks, but he should personally visit the County Art
Troupe for the job transfer. It's better if | have a face-to-face talk with him."
"Is there something you can’t telldirectly?"
Lin Fan looked at Ren Tian'ai with confusion. It was his first tencountering someone who took the money but
refused to act.
"No, but tell him this money was well spent."
Ren Tian’ai stood up with a smile, turned to the two of them, and said, "I'm going to touch up my makeup!"
With that, she walked toward the restroom in the far corner, clicking her high heels and swaying her perky
behind. Watching her graceful figure, Lin Fan also got up and said to Yao Wan Jiao, "I'll have a talk with her alone;
maybe there’s something that isn’t convenient for you to know."

"Mhm!"
Yao Wan Jiao nodded without thinking too much about it, while Lin Fan quickly followed after Ren Tian’ai. He saw
her enter the restroom and was about to turn to close the door when Lin Fan put his hand out, stopping the door
from shutting.
"What are you doing?"
Ren Tian’ai was startled by this sudden action. Knowing that the restrooms were individual stalls, she wondered
what he was up to.
"Playing the thug!"
He pushed the door open, stepped inside, and then promptly locked it from the inside. Suddenly, the two of them
were alone in the isolated restroom.
"You... don’t mess around... I'm going to scream for help!"
Ren Tian’ai, who was just now the picture of dignity, suddenly felt a chill up her spine, but before she could finish
speaking, Lin Fan grabbed her throat and pinned her against the wall.
"I originally wanted to have a decent talk with you; they say harmony brings wealth, but you insisted on playing
the thug with me, so let's see who is more thuggish!"
Lin Fan's gaze turned fierce, and as they locked eyes, Ren Tian’ai felt like prey being watched by a wild beast,
especially as his other hand reached up her flat stomach and grabbed the ample fullness of her chest.
