The audience decided the final winner of the open design award in a half-joking manner.
It was the first time Cong Nianwei had won a design award, which somehow made her a legend.
If she knew the hidden meaning behind the design award, she wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry. Instead, she would have a good talk with her boyfriend about life and ideals.
Unfortunately, in reality, they were waiting for the final moment to arrive. As the announcement progressed, the curtains behind the award ceremony gradually opened. Translator's Thoughts Lonelytree Editor: Millman97
The original plan had been for the host to show off the winning design and announce the final winner. Then, one of the investors would go on stage and give the award.
The process of the award ceremony was very simple and had a post-modern feel to it.
However, when they saw Qin Guan, they changed their original plan.
They asked their assistants to make slight changes to the host's cue card.
Therefore, the small award ceremony became like this.
"Now comes the most important moment of the day, which is to announce the final winner's design, as well as award the winner's trophy and prize money."
"So, which group is the winner of the Open Design Award this time?"
The host pulled down the backboard and said, "That is the design drawing of the community called 'New Power' by the design team of Columbia University!"
"Let's welcome Miss Cong Nianwei, the chief designer of New Power, to the stage to receive the award!"
The competitors were a little disappointed, but they still gave Cong Nianwei's team the most sincere applause.
Clap, clap, clap!
These young students hadn't even officially stepped out of the school gate, but they had already received their first recognition in the most open and innovative design awards in their lives.
Even Cong Nianwei, who was known for her calmness, couldn't help but tear up. Rongzhi, who had been in charge of the design details, was crying and snot was running down his face.
Cong Nianwei stood up to receive the award. She hugged every member of her team and walked up to the stage nervously.
The host handed the extra microphone to Cong Nianwei.
"Very well, our lucky designer has walked onto the stage tonight. Now, let us welcome the guest presenter of this award, who is also the final investor of our future community: Brain, LC, MG, and TOM, to come onto the stage and present the award to the final winner."
After saying that, the host clapped his hands with all his might.
Originally, it was decided that only one person would go on stage. Now, no one knew why these big bosses were so crazy backstage, but they were all fighting to go on stage to present the award.
As a part-time host who was getting paid to do his job, after his well-intentioned reminder failed, he had no choice but to obediently listen to orders.
After all, the generous clients were rare.
The audience below also applauded after hearing the host's explanation, but everyone felt that it was a little strange.
There were too many people presenting the award.
However, rich people just loved to be in the limelight. Who cares.
As soon as the host finished his introduction, the four people who were mentioned eagerly squeezed their way over from the back of the hall.
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
"I hope we will have more opportunities to work together in the future!"
"Congratulations, designer Cong Nianwei. Here's your trophy..."
"Don't push me! Move over there! I'm falling..."
"Cong Nianwei, here's your trophy. Take it! Don't push me..."
The crowd below the stage finally understood where the peacemaker was coming from …
The stage for the awards ceremony was really small. The people who came out from the backstage squeezed onto the stage one by one. They didn't care about the layout of the venue at all. It was as if they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to attend the ceremony, so they persisted on the stage.
After the chaos, Cong Nianwei finally received the trophy.
That's right, the trophy for the Open Design Awards was very unique. It was designed like an athlete's medal. The base was a round medal, and the trophy was made of blue and white crystals, like a ribbon to hang the medal. It was very interesting and unique.
Before Cong Nianwei could thank them, the other three screamed and fell off the stage, leaving only Brain, who had started to tidy up his hair, standing on the stage.
"Congratulations, Cong Nianwei!"
"Thank you!"
The two hands firmly clasped together, and then loosened.
The host was hiding behind the host's desk. Cong Nianwei took the check out of Brain's pocket, which was still warm.
Two hundred and fifty thousand USD was a perfect prize. In terms of the amount of prize money, it was even higher than some of the more established design awards.
The three presenters had no time to climb up. They could only punch the wooden floor with their fists and watch Cong Nianwei leave slowly.
Cong Nianwei should have shook hands with them out of politeness.
Cong Nianwei was cold and aloof. She had thought that they were just there to amuse the audience.
Cong Nianwei returned to the stage and handed the trophy to her team members. Then she hugged Qin Guan.
Money didn't have much of an effect on this girl. What made people excited was the significance of this trophy to her.
It was the first design award Cong Nianwei had ever received. She was young and promising.
"Qin Guan."
"Yes?"
"I've also contributed to our trophy shelf."
Cong Nianwei's words fascinated Qin Guan more than any sweet words in the world.
This was the first time his girlfriend had expressed her determination to stay with him for the rest of his life.
Cong Nianwei had accepted his proposal in disguise. That was good.
Qin Guan tightened his arms around her. It was like a dream had come true that day, right at that moment.
