If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 853 - Supreme Award Winner
Chapter 853: Chapter 853: Supreme Award Winner
Chapter 853 -853: Supreme Award Winner
“Thank you, Linda,” Xu Chaomu said sincerely.
During her days off at home, her work was left to Linda and Shen Chi to perfect, and she heard that Shen Chi even specially hired a team of expert consultants.
“No need to thank me,” Linda said indifferently, “If you win an award, just treat me to a meal.”
“That’s definite and a must!” Xu Chaomu said.
“Shush…” Linda made a silencing gesture, “No more talking, watch carefully.”
Xu Chaomu nodded and turned her head to look forward.
On the large electronic screen at the front, many works were displayed one after another, like fleeting clouds.
Xu Chaomu saw other people’s designs that seemed… less pleasing to the eye than hers; her confidence grew even more.
Of course, there were also a few very excellent works.
The electronic screen displayed the images, and the stage host began the first award presentation, the Excellence in Entry award.
Xu Chaomu held her breath, meanwhile, the whole venue fell silent.
There were quite a few winning works in this round, thankfully, thankfully, Xu Chaomu did not hear her own work’s name.
Linda also put down her work, held her breath, and listened quietly.
After the entry award came the Best Creativity Award, the Best Newcomer Award, and many others, too numerous to take in all at once.
Xu Chaomu had thought that maybe she would be named during the Best Creativity Award, after all, there were three spots, but she wasn’t.
Then, she thought she might be mentioned in the Best Newcomer Award, after all, there were also three spots, yet again, she wasn’t.
Xu Chaomu started to panic, because the later awards were of higher prestige and were even more difficult to attain.
Linda also sat up straight, listening intently.
Later on, Xu Chaomu heard the name of Feili Group and Lou Yanli’s name!
She was still happy for them, even though Feili Group and Shen Group were competitors in some aspects. Otherwise, that vice president from Feili would not have thought of such a mean trick to demand her proposal.
Fortunately, she didn’t give in, otherwise, wouldn’t that have been leaking secrets?
However, because of that incident, she and Shen Chi had a huge fight, that time they really turned heaven and earth upside down.
If it hadn’t been for the subsequent explosion incident, they wouldn’t have had any way to reconcile.
As for Feili Group, if Nie Chenglang were not there, she wouldn’t harbor much good feeling towards it.
It was an incident five years ago that Lu Feili had indirectly taken part in…
It’s just a pity that Nie Chenglang was Lu Feili’s son.
She zoned out for a while, and the award ceremony on stage was already over.
Xu Chaomu thought it had ended and poked Linda anxiously: “Linda, is it all over? Was there Shen Group?”
“There’s still the Supreme Honor Award left, that’s the highest award of the event,” Linda said indifferently, not holding much hope anymore.
After all, at every trade fair, this award is won by international top masters.
Newcomer works… it seems there hasn’t been one yet.
Xu Chaomu was disappointed too, having heard that this award is difficult to obtain, with many groups and designers vying for it.
She felt somewhat deflated; she had failed to meet Shen Chi’s expectations, after all.
“The following Supreme Honor Award is the highest award of this trade fair, given to the most outstanding work of this event, decided by an international jury through scoring. The awarded work not only fully embodies the main theme of this design event but also actively responds to the international call for environmental conservation…”
It was a long-winded speech, and Xu Chaomu listened without interest.
“There are reporters taking photos, keep your spirits up, and when you see the top award-winning work later, remember to learn from it, and aim to be shortlisted next time,” Linda said.
Xu Chaomu nodded. She found she didn’t even have the strength to speak.
So disappointed, so disappointed…
But she thought, the most disappointed was probably Shen Chi.
And the entire award ceremony was broadcast live for everyone in C City to see. What would the mood be like for the colleagues at Shen Group, especially those in the design department?
They would probably sigh, lamenting how unreliable it was to give such an important project to a newcomer.
But… she really did try her hardest.
She had worked many overtime hours at the group, and even when at home, she often revised the draft drawings.
She had also sought advice from many people including Linda, Shen Chi, and Lou Yanli… she really did consult them all, she truly had tried her best.
Yet, having received no awards, she still felt a little sad inside.
“This time, the Glory Supreme Award will be presented by Mr. Shen Chi, the president of Shen Group…” the host announced.
When Xu Chaomu heard Shen Chi’s name, she still reflexively withdrew her thoughts.
So it was Shen Chi who would present the award in person… Would the winning designer be a beautiful woman?
If a beautiful woman were matched with a handsome man, how many young girls’ hearts would be shattered, including hers?
This beautiful moment was destined to be captured and would become the headline photo for major newspapers and media.
Xu Chaomu felt an internal blockage, she didn’t dare to hope for the big prize, but she hadn’t even received a nomination…
Feeling a little sad, she intertwined her hands and pressed her lips together lightly.
Linda shook her head with a sigh and closed her notebook: “Ah, there’s no hope left.”
“I’m sorry, Linda, for letting everyone’s efforts go to waste,” Xu Chaomu apologized.
“It’s okay, there will be other opportunities in the future. Keep working hard, and you’ll become an excellent designer,” Linda said.
“Thank you, Linda.”
“By the way, pull yourself together, don’t always set your heart on men,” Linda said.
Xu Chaomu knew Linda was referring to her and Shen Chi. She remained silent.
“Look, how many women are coveting that man!” Linda looked in Shen Chi’s direction.
Xu Chaomu knew that even in just this venue, there were many who admired Shen Chi.
The big award was about to be presented, and Shen Chi remained composed, even though Shen Group had only won a few minor prizes, his expression was unaltered.
Then, the host said, “Now, I will announce the winner of the Glory Supreme Award—Ms. Xu Chaomu, the outstanding designer from Shen Group. The work designed by Ms. Xu Chaomu closely revolves around the design theme…”
Xu Chaomu’s mind went blank all at once. Xu Chaomu? Shen Group’s Xu Chaomu?!
Her?!
For a moment, her mind was empty, and only the name “Xu Chaomu” echoed around and around in her ears…
Xu Chaomu, Xu Chaomu, Xu Chaomu… it was her.
Where else in Shen Group was there another Xu Chaomu, who else could it be but her?
Linda was clearly stunned too. Xu Chaomu? Was it really Xu Chaomu?
At such a tightly controlled trade fair, a mistake was impossible; there was only one conclusion—the design work of Xu Chaomu had won the highest award of this trade fair, she had taken the top prize!
Linda was the first to react, pushing Xu Chaomu’s body quickly: “Xu Chaomu, snap out of it, snap out of it, hurry up and come back to reality!”
Xu Chaomu was still in a fog, but with Linda’s push, she finally came to her senses!
“Is it me?” Xu Chaomu looked at Linda, dazed, as she sought a definite answer.
