Chapter 84 - Awarded First Prize
"That's only natural. Thank you so much, Miss Mo." Bi De replied happily.
"No need, you are too polite, Mr. Bi De." Mo Yao replied humbly.
Everyone who saw this reversal of the situation couldn't help but be speechless. Mr. Bi De was supporting Mo Yao right? Otherwise, the matter of buying and selling the sculptures could have been discussed in private. There was no need to talk about it on stage in front of everyone.
However, they could roughly guess Mr. Bi De's intentions.
Seeing that the matter with Mo Yao had come to an end, Bi De returned the microphone to the host. Seeing that he had nothing else to do, he left the venue in advance.
As for the others, they remained seated. This was because the battle today wasn't over yet. After a week of delay, the international design competition was finally coming to an end. Today was the day to announce the winner's name!
Sure enough, a judge walked to the center of the stage and said with a smile: "Everyone, after a month, our competition has finally ended! Due to some special reasons, the match had been delayed until now. Fortunately, we were able to complete the competition. To facilitate the appraisal of our results, we, the few evaluators, discussed for a while and gave Yuan Han and Mo Yao a score. We got a good score of 98 points for Miss Mo and 99 for the Miss Yuan! "
After the judge finished his speech, the audience broke out into a ruckus once more.
"Oh my god, I thought Mo Yao and Yuan Han had already left the competition. "But I never would have thought that their grades would actually be included in the finals …"
"That's right. Based on their current results, they took first and second place respectively!"
"Didn't I already say this before? Today's match will continue for the finals. This result will naturally be included in the list." What's more, if it wasn't for something unexpected happening in the finals, the ones in first and second place would probably still be the two of them. After all, the two of them are indeed very powerful. "
"But, in that case, what about the plagiarism in the finals?"
"I'm not sure about that. I thought it was Yuan Han who copied Mo Yao's work, but it seems now that there's no such reason. The products that Yuan Han had designed, were all works that Mr. Bi De had agreed on, and in the process of the spectators voting, they had completely won over Mo Yao's works. If that's the case, then there is no need for Yuan Han to copy Mo Yao's work! "
"True, but..." "Miss Mo shouldn't be the one who copied the works of others."
"Who knows. Alright, let's not dwell on this anymore." How many people would care about this? "There are so many good news today, tomorrow's news is enough for us to write."
"That's true. This news will probably be the headlines for several days."
"Yuan Han is going to be popular this time."
"Under the discussion of the crowd, the judges announced the names of the top three." Third place: Jiang Shengxi, second place: Mo Yao, first place: Yuan Han. As for the next part, please bring the three winners to the stage to receive their prizes. "
Hearing the judge's words, Yuan Han, Mo Yao and the others all stood up and walked up the stage.
"Xiao Han, congratulations." Jiang Shengxi said happily as he walked beside Yuan Han.
Yuan Han gave a shallow smile, and said lightly: "Thank you … You're not bad too. "
Different from the relaxed and happy faces Yuan Han and Jiang Shengxi had, Mo Yao's face was dark. Although she won second place in the competition, it never got her out of the shadows of the previous match...
Only when the three of them had stood side by side on stage did the judge speak again. "Next, let us invite CEO Gu to present the three winners' prizes."
After saying that, the judge took the lead to clap. Under his lead, the audience also began to applaud. The scene immediately became lively.
Suddenly, the music for the awards ceremony began. The three ceremonial girls held their trophies as they walked up the stage in a line and stood in front of the three of them.
Gu Mohan first walked in front of Jiang Shengxi, picked up the trophy, and gave it to him. Jiang Shengxi then extended his hands respectfully and received the trophy. After receiving the trophy, Gu Mohan reached out his hand and shook it. "Continue working hard."
"Got it, thank you Young Master Gu." Jiang Shengxi replied with a smile.
Gu Mohan lightly nodded his head before striding to Mo Yao's side. But this time, Gu Mohan's attitude was a bit cold. He merely passed the trophy to Mo Yao without exchanging anything with her. When Mo Yao reached out to take the trophy, she continued to walk forward.
After coming to a stop in front of Yuan Han, Gu Mohan smiled gently at him. "Then, he picked up the trophy and handed it to her." Xiao Han, I knew you were the best! "
Yuan Han cast a glance at everyone present, and upon confirming that no one could hear what Gu Mohan said, he shyly smiled and took the trophy from Gu Mohan's hand.
After the three of them received their trophies, the judge once again raised his microphone and said, "Let us once again congratulate the three winners with the warmest applause."
With that, applause rang out. After a while, the judge continued to speak: "Next, let us invite the first place Miss Yuan to give her acceptance speech."
Naturally, no one had any objections, and the applause rang out once again.
As for Jiang Shengxi and Mo Yao, they were led off the stage by the staff.
Amidst the applause, Yuan Han took the microphone from the evaluators' hands. After pondering for a moment, she slowly spoke: "I was very happy and surprised to receive this award. Thank you very much for the friends who have been with me all this time. It is because of your support and encouragement that I have the confidence to continue. Here, I would like to focus my thanks on three people. The first one is a good friend that I made on the stage, Jiang Shengxi. "
After saying that, Yuan Han turned her gaze in Jiang Shengxi's direction and spoke sincerely: "During the preliminaries, my work was lost. It was Saint Sis who picked it up from the trash can and brought it to the competition venue in time. That gave me the right to continue in the next match. In the finals, I was questioned as having copied someone else's work, and Sansa was one of the few people who believed in me. "When everyone was blaming me, it was him, doing her best to help me …"
