142 Birth Of The Champion
There was a loud discussion in the audience, and some curious people even sneaked close to Xu Heng and asked, “Professor Xu, do you think your student will get in the top three?”
“I’m also very curious as to what kind of ranking my student will get in this competition.” Xu Heng gave a shocking answer.
When the people around him heard what he said, they did not think he was boasting about his student. Instead, they were amazed by He Miao’s strength.
If it had been before the competition, his words would have drawn the contempt of others, who would think that he had been underestimating his opponent after being away from the world for so many years. Now, the results of the competition had clearly told them that He Miao had this kind of ability.
If that was the case, she was very likely to become their future rival!
The people below immediately sat up straight and looked at the stage with nervous eyes.
The host began to announce the results of the top three. The winner of third place was an old woman. She was not surprised to get such a result, but she could not help but glance at the little girl behind her.
She had already noticed He Miao when they were backstage just now. She was able to act neither haughtily nor humbly in the face of someone of Meng Lang’s status. Meng Lang, who had always been cold and indifferent, was so angry that he gritted his teeth. Now that the two of them had become the focus of the audience at the same time, she was looking forward to their final battle.
When it came to the second place, the people below did not even dare to breathe.
The host deliberately dragged out the last syllable and announced, “Let’s congratulate the second place winner—Meng Lang!”
“Impossible!” Meng Xin reacted quickly and stood up from the guest area.
This time, the guest’s seat was arranged in the front row. Her voice was sharp and loud, so almost everyone in the audience noticed her movements.
Meng Xin realized that she had embarrassed her uncle again. She guiltily glanced at Meng Lang, who was glaring at her from the stage, and quickly sat down in embarrassment. However, she nervously glanced at Jing Yan.
If that woman could even win against someone like her uncle, then she might have no chance at all with Jing Yan!
No! She could not give up hope until the last moment. Maybe the host was wrong?
She continued to look at the stage, but the final result was destined to shatter her hope.
“We’ve finally reached the most intense moment. There’s only one contestant whose name hasn’t been called. That person is—” the host raised his hand and pointed to the corner of the stage. “Let’s congratulate the winner of the final competition, He Miao!”
As soon as he said this, the storm began. The audience was shocked and immediately burst into a fierce applause. Everyone could not help but applaud for this little girl.
The fragrance-making competition had been held for decades, but it had been broken by a little girl. She was undoubtedly the youngest champion in history.
After this competition, He Miao would enter the public’s attention. She would replace Xu Heng and become the second genius in the fragrance making world!
“He Miao, congratulations.” The host placed the final golden trophy in her hand, then waved for the staff backstage to bring the prize up.
The reward this time was no ordinary prize money, but the most precious of all spices, the crimson stamen known as “red gold”!
Top-grade stamen were even more expensive than gold, and their production was extremely limited.
This time, the organizer of the competition was actually generous enough to provide 10000 stamen as the final prize. How could they not be moved?
He Miao weighed the heavy prize in her hands, the bracelet on her wrist swaying slightly with her movements. An idea came to her mind.
Jing Yan had been so excited that he wanted to hold this girl, who was always shining on the stage, in his arms and bring her back to the Jing family so that no one else could look at her so rashly.
However, he knew in his heart that only He Miao, who was shining so brightly, could attract his gaze and make him fall for her.
Only by letting her bloom like a flower would she be able to realize her ideal value. She was destined not to be someone’s private possession that could be easily hidden. She needed to shine brightly everywhere in the world.
Caught off guard, Jing Yan’s eyes met with He Miao’s on the stage. His heart skipped a beat. He stood up in a hurry and walked determinedly backstage to congratulate the girl who was standing on the top of his heart.
After He Miao got off the stage, she immediately saw Jing Yan and the woman behind him.
Meng Xin looked jealously at her little face, which was even more beautiful because of the trophy. She was so angry that she almost broke her teeth. Seeing Meng Lang walk down the stage, Meng Xin hugged his arm coquettishly. “Uncle, it’s okay if we didn’t win the championship this time. The second place is also very good. We can definitely shut grandpa’s mouth!”
Meng Lang did not say anything. He raised his head and looked at Jing Yan, who had obviously come to pick He Miao up. He frowned slightly and said in a stern tone, “You two, come with me.”
