Jaime hurriedly explained, "Dorothy, don't get so worked up first. I know that I have no right to make any changes to your performance execution plan, but I only did it out of the goodness of my heart. After all, this will be Miss Golding's first performance for her concert tour this year. I only wanted to make this performance even more perfect, and that is the reason why I took the liberty to adjust the overall plan without informing you in advance."
As he spoke of this, Jaime then assured her, "But Dorothy, you can rest assured. I specifically invited the best lighting and sound engineer from the United States this time. They are liaising with your original executive team, and the equipment has been fully optimized according to your previous execution plan. So, you can rest assured that the performance effect will only be enhanced, and it would not be compromised in any way."
Dorothy looked at Jaime and said seriously, "Young Master Schulz, this matter is not just a matter of good or bad performance. The fundamental principle is that since we are collaborating, we should be carrying out our own duties to perfection, and we should be getting our own job done. At the same time, we should show others enough respect. It is indeed very
inappropriate for you to be interfering directly in our work! If Quinn finds out about this, she will certainly b e very angry!"
As she spoke, Dorothy turned around and ordered one of the assistants that she had brought along with her," Find the person-in-charge from the executive company and bring him here. I want to ask him why they collaborated with others to make big changes to our project behind our backs when we are obviously the first party."
The assistant hurriedly said, "Okay, Dorothy! I'll go and find him now!" 1
Jaime hurriedly stopped her and said, "Oh, Dorothy! All of us are simply trying to make this concert even more perfect. So, there is no need for you to be so uptight over this matter, right? In addition, I was the one who used money to bribe the executive company. However, they also guaranteed that they would get the job done with the best quality and quantity. You can ask your people to try out the lighting and sound effects first. As long as the effect is better than the previous plan, this would prove that all this work would not have been done in vain."
After speaking, Jaime then continued, "Moreover, the lighting and sound equipment has always been operated by you guys, who are professionals. When Miss Golding comes for her rehearsal or performance, she only focuses on the effect of her performance, not the brand of the lighting and sound equipment. How would she possibly know about this as long as you do not tell her about it? If she finds out that the effect of her performance this time seems to be exceptionally good, I think that she would certainly be more than happy. I'll personally go and apologize to her after the performance ends, then. I won't push the blame on you when the time comes. What do you think?"
Dorothy understood Jaime's intentions very well in her heart.
The reason why he was doing all this was because he was trying to please Quinn and gain her favor.
What did he mean by personally apologizing to her after the performance?
He was only trying to take the credit, right?
At this time, Jaime then said, "Dorothy, Miss Golding will already be coming for the rehearsal tomorrow. The concert will officially begin on the night of the day after tomorrow. This set of equipment has already been set up, and it will definitely be impossible to change it at the last minute. So, I hope that you will do me a favor this time. I promise that this will be the only time and that it will never happen again."
After thinking about it, Dorothy felt that what Jaime had said was indeed right. It was a concert with tens o f thousands of people, and it would take a few days just to set up the on-site equipment. The time taken to transport the equipment was even longer. It would simply be impossible if she wanted to change all the equipment back according to the original plan now. It seemed as though she could only make the best out of the mistake, then.
As she thought about this, she could only instruct the lighting and sound engineer, "The both of you will have to work harder today. Test all the equipment and see if this new set of equipment is perfectly compatible with our previous plan. It would be best if i t works well, but we will have to hurry up and solve the problem if it doesn't work. We have to make sure everything is done by tomorrow, even if that means staying up all night!"
The two people agreed without any hesitation, and they immediately began to work.
Jaime heaved a sigh of relief before he cupped one of his fists with his other hand in front of Dorothy and said gratefully, "Dorothy, thank you so much for this time."
Dorothy looked at him with a pious expression as she secretly thought to herself, 'This Jaime Schulz had painstakingly worked so hard for Quinn’s concert. When this concert starts, I wonder if Jaime Schulz will suffer an emotional breakdown and die here on the spot after seeing the surprise that Quinn has meticulously prepared for Charlie?'
