Next Chapter

Amsterdam in August is a pleasant, comfortable and cool climate.

At 6 o'clock in the evening Dutch time, the AM Hotel Amsterdam is holding an international architectural design awards gala.

"Award of Excellence Winner—" The host is an Amsterdam native who speaks pure English. As soon as the host's voice fell, under the podium, the air froze, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the god of fate to descend from the sky. Tong Xiaoyan's heart "bang" pounding, she was nervous, she participated in a world-class architectural design competition for the first time, and was shortlisted, if she won the excellence award this time, she could successfully sign a contract with the largest real estate group in W city - Zhuozhi Real Estate.

Tong Yue glanced at Tong Xiaoyan, smiled, and grabbed Tong Xiaoyan's hand, which was covered with beads of sweat in the palm. Tong Yue gently twisted her body and said to Tong Xiaoyan: "Xiaoyan, relax, don't be nervous, you are still young, the focus is on participation." ”

Tong Xiaoyan's mind was blank, his eardrums were buzzing, and Tong Yue's voice was very small, very small······ She couldn't hear it, Tong Xiaoyan turned her head to look at Tong Yue, and asked her loudly, "Auntie, what did you say?"

Tong Yue hurriedly pulled her niece's clothes, winked at her, and whispered!

Tong Xiaoyan's words resounded in the quiet air, and all the eyes present looked at her in unison, including a gentleman in the last row, his cold face showed a trace of contempt, and he glared at her fiercely, just one glance, which was enough to make everyone present tremble.

And Tong Xiaoyan, who was sitting in the first row, didn't know anything about the eyes behind her, she was sitting precariously, waiting for the verdict of fate, her heart was about to jump to her throat.

For Tong Xiaoyan, who has never seen her parents, hard work is the only way out, for this world architectural design competition, she dreams of sleeping, forgetting to sleep and eating, her classmates spend the moon, she is designing, classmates play games, she is designing, classmates play in the mountains and rivers, she is still designing——

So, the prize must be won, it must be!

"The winner of the Excellence Award is Tong Xiaoyan ······" The presenter's repeater-like voice sounded again. Before the words fell, Tong Xiaoyan jumped up from his seat and screamed loudly: "To! to! Tong Xiaoyan is me, I am Tong Xiaoyan-"

"Be calm, pay attention to your image, everyone else is looking at you. Aunt Tong Yue reminded her to keep a low profile.

Tong Xiaoyan covered her mouth with her hands and looked around, and sure enough, everyone saluted her. Tong Xiaoyan Shuiling's big eyes slipped from the front row to the back row, and suddenly, a pair of eagle-like eyes stared at her sharply and coldly, these eyes were deep and seemed to be able to see through the depths of her heart. Tong Xiaoyan lowered his eyes in horror and turned his head.

At this time, the host called her name again, and Aunt Tong Yue reminded Tong Xiaoyan that it was time to go on stage to accept the award.

Tong Xiaoyan suddenly realized, let out an "oh", instantly regained his relaxed mood, and walked happily to the podium. Tong Xiaoyan won the Architectural Design Excellence Award and returned to her aunt Tong Yue's side.

"Next, I would like to invite the third prize awarder, the world-renowned singer Yao Jiali, to make a shining appearance, applause to welcome, and please Yao Jiali to squeeze out time to participate in the award ceremony······" As the host's melodious English voice sounded, Teacher Yao Jiali walked to the podium with all kinds of style.

As soon as he saw the idol Teacher Yao Jiali coming, Tong Xiaoyan's eyes lit up, he held the trophy, held it high, and exclaimed: "Teacher Yao Jiali, I love you-"

There was chaos in the audience, and it couldn't be calmed down for a long time. Teacher Yao Jiali always smiled charmingly in front of all the audience, accepted the cheers of the fans, enjoyed it tirelessly, interacted with the fans, and sang a few popular songs at the request of the fans, and the fans were satisfied.

The director was gesturing on the side, and the host was also a little anxious, it would not work if it went on like this, it would delay the time of the other award presenters, the host immediately told everyone to be quiet, and then announced the list of winners of the third prize. Tong Xiaoyan stared at Teacher Yao Jiali's every move, grew up listening to her songs, although she was born in the same city, now, in a foreign country, she is fortunate to see her real person. Yao Jiali is nearly fifty years old, her figure is still perfect, her face is radiant, Yao Jiali is a famous beauty without makeup, she made her debut by real play, and she has worked hard all the way.

Tong Xiaoyan respects this goddess of immortality, and her songs have accompanied generations of young people through countless springs, summers, autumns and winters.

After the third prize was awarded, the host and fans sent Teacher Yao Jiali off the podium together, Tong Xiaoyan was reluctant, looking at Teacher Yao Jiali's back gradually drifting away, disappearing in the background, Tong Xiaoyan couldn't sit still, threw the trophy to Aunt Tong Yue, and ran to the backstage. At this moment, the host is announcing the award winners of the second prize.

"The following is the award presenter, Zhuo Qinfeng, President of Wisdom Real Estate······" Halfway through the host's words, the lights on the entire podium were all extinguished, and the host said "Hey, hey, hey" into the microphone and there was no response, the director looked angry, took the emergency light, rushed to the backstage, and found Tong Xiaoyan lying on the ground, and the socket head of the podium was trampled under her feet.

The director was furious and scolded: "Who told you to come here?

Tong Xiaoyan was so frightened that she trembled, knowing that she was in trouble, she didn't see the socket head under her feet, so she grabbed another idle socket head and plugged it in, and then clapped her hands and smiled awkwardly at the director.

Immediately afterwards, there was a frantic fight on the podium, and the host turned around and was shocked, what does it mean?

The director returned to the backstage, changed the socket, and saw Tong Xiaoyan talking to Teacher Yao Jiali from a distance, he didn't dare to disturb Teacher Yao Jiali, he held his stomach, stayed dullly, gestured to the host, and then broadcast the list of award winners of the second prize.

"Please Zhuo Qinfeng, President Zhuo-" The host repeated twice.

Under the podium, everyone's eyes were staring to the right, covering their mouths and smiling, the host glanced at the right and was startled, Zhuo Qinfeng lay on the ground, looking for glasses everywhere. Saying that just now, Zhuo Qinfeng heard the host shouting his name, walked to the podium in a dashing manner, and walked to the center of the right, suddenly the power went out, and it was dark all around, Zhuo Qinfeng hit the wall, his glasses were gone, Zhuo Qinfeng tried to find his eyes, squatted, searched, accidentally stepped on the empty stairs, fell to the ground, and his knees were painful.

Zhuo Qinfeng realized that the light was on, and stood up in embarrassment, blood stains appeared on the knees of his white trousers, shameful death, damn the perpetrator!
