Chapter 406 – “You deserve all of this.” (2)
The one presenting the awards to the Emerging Award winners was Chu Kuo, an old friend of Fang JunRong. Chu Kuo was already the president of China Herbal Chamber of Commerce. He smiled and greeted Fang JunRong when he saw her.
“That Lao Jia invites me over to his place incessantly to look at that wild ginseng that you sold to him. I feel that he just wants to gloat in front of me. When you have a better one than that one, JunRong, sell it to me so I can gloat in front of him as well.”
Because of Fang JunRong, the relationship between Chu Kuo and Jia Hongyuan, two former competitors, had mellowed out a lot. They would still make fun of each other whenever they met, but they were more like frenemies now.
Fang JunRong’s lips curved upward some. “For sure.”
She chatted with Chu Kuo some and then it was Chu Kuo’s time to go up onto the stage.
Fang JunRong had her ears perked up backstage and her smile brightened when she heard Jiang DeXian’s name called. Even though she knew in her heart of heart that it was well deserved, she would only feel relieved when she actually knew it for a fact that it had happened.
Every winner of the awards had a-minute-and-a-half’s time to talk.
Fang JunRong was not familiar with the others and all of her attention was on Jiang DeXian.
“……The person I want to thank the most?
“Fang JunRong.
“She gave me a new life and she will be my goddess forever.”
Fang JunRong was a little surprised. She didn’t think that Jiang DeXian would call her out on stage. That was the equivalent of him professing his feelings for her on stage. Many thought that the “new life” he was referring to was her hiring him as her assistant. Only she knew the truth behind it.
There was a big screen in the backstage as well and those in the backstage could also see what was going on on stage.
Jiang DeXian, on the stage, was tall and outstanding, and his handsome face really made him stand out among all of the mediocre-looking individuals.
With the trophy in his hand, his look under his prescription-free glasses was both loving and profound. The smile on his lips was charming and meaningful.
“I am giving you all of my glory.”
Fang JunRong felt something exploding next to her ear. By the time she had recollected herself, the interview of the final award winner was almost over.
She stroked her own cheek and it seemed to be somewhat warm. That was not good. Perhaps she should go splatter some water on it.
Her assistant asked her softly next to her, “Do you need your makeup touched up?”
Fang JunRong said reflexively, “No, I want to wash my face.”
Her assistant Yu Huaizhen’s lips twitched involuntarily. “Boss, if you wash your face, all of your makeup will be gone.”
Whatever had happened to her normally brilliant boss?!
Fang JunRong, too, had recollected herself by now. A look of embarrassment flashed across her face and she said casually, “Oh, I misspoke. Yes, let’s reapply some makeup.”
She hadn’t been in a relationship for too long. That was why the flirting from so far away had made her lose her mind.
She returned to her dressing room and only came back out after her makeup had been reapplied. Mmhmm, right now she was the most beautiful.
After Chu Kuo had presented all of the Emerging Awards, there were a few other consolation prizes before the People of the Year awards. It was time for Fang JunRong to step onto the stage.
She was already very used to this kind of environment and looking at all the eyes that were locked onto her from below the stage, Fang JunRong was not nervous at all, but had a gentle smile on her face.
Before she went onto the stage, an envelope was thrusted into her hand with the winners’ names inside. Even she didn’t know who they were ahead of time.
She had on her a perfect smile and her voice was like a lake under the moon, quiet and elegant.
“……They are the stars. They are the moon. The light coming from them lights up our land.
“Let’s give them a round of applause.
“The following are our winners for the People of the Year award……” As everyone looked on, Fang JunRong opened up the envelope and pulled the red card out from inside. She saw the familiar name right away and a smile could be seen in her eyes.
