Chapter 274 - Surprise
Cheng Liyue was sitting in the third row at the front. She and Gong Yexiao sat side by side and Cheng Liyue took a nervous deep breath, thinking that in a while, she would be able to stand before everyone's eyes and receive the award. She was very nervous!
Gong Yexiao turned his head and looked at the little hand she was holding on her chest, obviously panicking nervously. He reached out his big palm and placed the hand she was holding onto his chest into his palm, "No need to be nervous, just be yourself."
Cheng Liyue turned her head to look at him, and saw the deep calmness in his eyes, and it seemed as if some of her nervousness had uncontrollably disappeared.
It was as if this man were standing in front of the world. He would not be nervous or afraid, he would be calm, and she would have to learn from him.
"Hm!" I'll try my best. " Cheng Liyue pursed her lips and laughed, she turned her head and suddenly, she saw a familiar figure.
Huo Yanran!
Cheng Liyue subconsciously took her hand out from Gong Yexiao's grasp.
Huo Yanran was followed by six or seven people, and at this moment, her expression was very complicated and unsightly. The moment she walked into the hallway in front of her, she saw Gong Yexiao and Cheng Liyue seated together.
Her heart throbbed with jealousy.
Why would Cheng Liyue appear here? Why was Gong Yexiao here?
Although Huo Yanran was extremely furious, she still wore a pleasantly surprised smile on her face, "Brother Ye Xiao, why are you here as well?"
"Come and take a look." Gong Yexiao replied indifferently.
Huo Yanran looked at Cheng Liyue, "I didn't think that Miss Cheng would be so interested in today's ceremony!"
"Of course, I am one of the winners. I was invited here." Cheng Liyue answered with confidence.
Huo Yanran was startled, Cheng Liyue was the winner? She didn't notice.
Huo Yanran was seated in the front row, luckily, she was a distance away from Cheng Liyue and Cheng Liyue. Cheng Liyue was too lazy to see her, but Gong Yexiao's expression had a touch of contemplation, he did not expect to meet Huo Yanran here.
However, Gong Yexiao did not take her seriously at all. At most, his grandfather already knew that he was travelling with Cheng Liyue, so he had a reason to explain.
Beside Huo Yanran, a handsome and fashionable man could not help but look at Gong Yexiao with a trace of jealousy in his eyes.
He was Huo Yanran's favorite subordinate and an admirer of hers. In fact, because Huo Yanran wanted to develop her jewelry design, he switched to it and worked hard to achieve what he had achieved today.
Huo Yanran angrily said to the assistant beside her, "Check the list of winners for me, what prize did Cheng Liyue obtain?"
The assistant immediately took out IPAD and looked through the list of winners. Very quickly, she found Cheng Liyue's, opened her mouth and said, "She won the best design prize in the jewelry world."
"What?" "Her?" Huo Yanran's tone was clearly full of ridicule and ridicule. Could it be that Gong Yexiao was the one who helped her win the prize? Inviting someone to design it and then placing it on her head?
Otherwise, for a small company like her, how could she win this award?
The more she thought about it, the uglier Huo Yanran's expression became.
Guests came one after another, and the ceremony for tonight's awards ceremony began. Six famous hosts went on stage at the same time, opening the event in English, their atmosphere warm and solemn.
Jewelry had always been a way to showcase one's identity and status. Nowadays, more and more people were pursuing the ultimate aesthetic feeling. One of the main goals of this competition was to make the jewelry industry achieve greater achievements and achieve greater values.
Cheng Liyue listened intently, and was very moved. She had been in this business for three years already, and she understood that inspiration was an endless fortune, and at the same time, showed the value of a designer.
Every design revealed the embodiment of the soul. Every design seemed to have a life of its own, becoming precious.
As Cheng Liyue was looking at the history of jewelry development, her eyes couldn't help but to moisten a little. Gong Yexiao reached out his strong arm and gave her a light hug.
Huo Yanran would turn her head back from time to time to look at the sky, and from her position, she could just see the actions of Gong Yexiao and Cheng Liyue. At that moment, she secretly clenched her teeth.
Soon after, the general level ceremony began. There were more than thirty winners this time, as well as various prizes. However, those who could stand on this stage were definitely powerful.
Cheng Liyue was ranked sixth, and when the first person went up on stage, her palms started to sweat, because the host even allowed them to say a few words, Cheng Liyue grabbed onto Gong Yexiao's arms, and anxiously asked: "What should I say when I get on stage?"
Gong Yexiao laughed, "Just a simple expression will do, first you have to thank the host for giving you this chance, allowing you to stand on this stage to obtain such honor, you must work hard to achieve better results in return for your love of jewelry, and finally you have to say thank you and bow."
Cheng Liyue's mind was in a mess, but when the man's deep and beautiful voice entered her ears, it immediately woke her up, and at the same time, Gong Yexiao held her hand for a moment, "It's your turn."
Sure enough, the host on stage said emotionally, "Next up is the winner of the Best Design Awards. Miss Cheng Liyue, please, is a beautiful Oriental beauty."
When Cheng Liyue came up on stage, Huo Yanran's gaze had almost pierced her. She looked at Cheng Liyue's figure gracefully walking up the stage, and saw her enchanting smile as she received the seat. The host hugged her and when he passed the microphone to her, she skillfully made a thanks.
After Cheng Liyue finished speaking, she looked at Gong Yexiao with a smile on her face, and the man was looking at her with a smile, showing her love and admiration.
He was standing right beside Cheng Liyue, and his gaze landed on Cheng Liyue. He obviously knew that this girl was Gong Yexiao's love rival, and that she was accompanying him.
After giving out the 30 awards, the host suddenly smiled and said, "Tonight, we have a very important segment, and that is, we will be auctioning off a portion of the awarded works on the spot. The amount of money obtained from the auction, excluding the cost, will all belong to the designer.
This decision was previously hidden, and at this moment, he instantly stirred up the entire audience, even the designers on the stage were stunned, Cheng Liyue also lightly touched his lower lip, not expecting the hosts to set such a stage, it was too unexpected.
