Chapter 43 - Receiving the Award
Chapter 43: Receiving the Award
It was just that Zhai Jing didn’t show any emotions. She did not know how to say the words of comfort that she wanted to say. At this moment, the announcement rang out in the venue. The results were going to be announced and the awards were going to be given out.
Le Wan hurriedly pushed him into the room.
“Let’s get the trophy and the prize money first. We’ll talk about the rest later.”
Since his mother’s life was not in danger, for the time being, Zhai Jing heaved a sigh of relief and felt more at ease. He sat in his seat and waited in peace.
The emcee of the award ceremony said some formal words as usual, and then, as Le Wan had said, Ren Rong went on stage personally. The Fu father and son’s expressions changed the moment they saw Ren Rong’s figure.
Father Fu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly pretended that nothing had happened and followed suit by applauding enthusiastically. Fu Sui, on the other hand, glanced at the calm Zhai Jing. Other than surprise, there was an indescribable emotion on his face. It didn’t look like he was lost or sad, nor did it look like he was angry. Instead, it looked like he was unwilling, but also a little relieved.
With President Ren’s intervention, the Fu family’s little tricks would not work. Hence, the results of the competition returned to normal, and Zhai Jing successfully won the first-place trophy and prize money.
“Young man, I’ve noticed you since the start of the competition. It’s one thing to be quick-witted, but what attracted me more was your calm and unflustered demeanor. You have the air of a great general at such a young age.” Below the stage, Ren Rong held Zhai Jing’s hand.
“I heard that you just saved student Fu. President Fu should thank you properly this time.”
“I should, I should.” Fu Sui’s father quickly expressed his gratitude as well.
“If it wasn’t for student Zhai, our Fu Sui would have been lying in the hospital for a long time. He even said that he would prepare a big gift for Zhai Jing.”
Zhai Jing naturally wouldn’t want a thank-you gift from the Fu family. He didn’t really want to save Fu Sui, but he didn’t want to make an unforgivable mistake because of his impulsiveness.
He knew very well that a person’s bottom line would gradually lower. If he didn’t stop at the edge of the cliff today, he was afraid that he would become unscrupulous in the future. Today’s incident was a warning to him.
There was only one thing that Zhai Jing was more concerned about. He asked President Ren,
“I didn’t expect President Ren to personally look at the finals’ test papers.”
In response, Ren Rong only patted his shoulder.
“You’ve made a good friend.”
It turned out that Ren Rong was not prepared to attend today’s competition in the beginning. The company’s vice president was originally in charge of the award ceremony. It was only because a government leader had decided to attend today’s event at the last minute that Ren Rong, who had made an appointment to go out and play with his beloved granddaughter, rushed over after receiving the news.
Recently, the group had a project to deal with the government, so Ren Rong attached great importance to communication with the leader. He had to temporarily entrust his five-year-old granddaughter, Ren Huan, to his assistant.
In the end, little Ren Huan was already unhappy that her grandfather stood her up at the last minute. When she saw that her grandfather had actually left her behind, her small temper flared up. Hence, when the assistant was not paying attention, she secretly ran out alone.
However, when she ran out of the club, she was dumbfounded. There were people everywhere. It turned out that in the square in front of the club, celebrities were holding a meet and greet, so a large number of fans had gathered.
She was a little bean that was less than half the height of a person, but when she blended into the crowd, she suddenly lost her sense of direction and followed the crowd like a headless fly. Little Ren Huan was the precious child of the Ren family and had been well-protected since she was young. She had never encountered such a scene before and was immediately frightened.
Today was Zhai Jing’s competition. After much consideration, Le Wan decided to come and cheer for him. However, she did not expect to be bumped by someone before she even entered the door. She looked down and saw a cute little girl with two ponytails and a doll in her hands. Her eyes were red and teary as she covered her head and looked at her. Her face was full of grief.
It was obvious that the person who had bumped into her was this little girl.
“Did I hurt you?” Le Wan quickly squatted down to check her forehead. Unexpectedly, the little girl was very vigilant despite her young age, and she dodged her hand.
Le Wan had no choice but to spread her hands.
“Alright, I won’t touch you. What about your parents?” She looked around and didn’t find any similar adults. She could only guess that the little girl had gone missing.
“So, you’ve lost your parents?” Le Wan asked.
