The Domineering Love: The Little Wife of the Expensive CEO
Chapter 278 The runner-up of this competition is Nie Zheng!
Two hours later, all fifteen contestants' incense had been scored, and the organizer notified all contestants to return to the waiting area to wait for the final results to be announced.
Tan Yu used a camera to record the wonderful moments of each player's competition and also gained some understanding of each player's performance.
"There will be no problem getting into the top five." Tan Yu said to Nie Zheng confidently.
Although she said so, she was still very nervous. Each of the fifteen contestants who entered the finals had strong strength, and most of them had more experience and fame than her.
Different from her nervousness, Deng Jin next to her looked as if it had nothing to do with her. He sat quietly in his seat, as if he was in a daze, or as if he had something on his mind, and his eyes were always vague.
Finally, the results were announced and the sponsor representative, Mr. Song, stood on the stage with the list of finalists in his hand.
"Now, please invite Mr. Chong from Zhengyue to come on stage and announce the results of this match!"
Nie Zheng was stunned and looked at the man in the audience in shock. He didn't even tell her that he was the award presenter of this competition.
What kind of magical plot is this? She is a contestant, Chong Jianzhi is the award presenter... Doesn't he know the result of the competition earlier than herself?
Thinking of this, she felt even more uneasy. Seeing Chong Jianzhi stand up from his seat and turn around to greet the audience, Nie Zheng suddenly realized why he was dressed so formally today...
He was wearing a well-ironed black velvet suit, his hair was combed meticulously, his facial features were delicate as if he was the protagonist in a comic book, and the gold-rimmed glasses welded on his face added a bit of nobility to him. His every move was full of a leisurely and elegant temperament that made people unable to look away after just one look.
Slowly walking up to the stage and taking the list handed over by President Song, Nie Zheng took a quick look at it. She was always paying attention to the changes in his expression, trying to judge what ranking she had obtained through his expression.
However, Chong Jian knew that this man never showed his emotions. Although the result was already in his mind, his expression was still indifferent. He looked towards the audience and turned back to glance at Nie Zheng.
"Now I announce that the fifth place in this competition is——"
Nie Zheng's heart was in her throat. Chong Jianzhi opened and closed his mouth, uttering an unfamiliar name.
"The fourth place is——"
She had some impression of this guy. It was the bad guy who bumped into Deng Jin when she was queuing up to draw lots.
I didn't expect him to be so strong. Nie Zheng felt a little uncomfortable. This game was not fair. This person clearly stole Deng Jin's original theme...
"The third place in this competition is——"
In fact, after this announcement, Nie Zheng no longer had any hope. She originally thought that she could get fourth or fifth place, but she didn't expect Chong Jianzhi to announce two names in succession, and neither of them was hers.
After not having too high expectations, she was finally not so nervous. She sat on the chair and even took out her mobile phone to browse social software.
She was a little surprised that the third place winner was Deng Jin, but after thinking about it, it was reasonable. This competition was really unfriendly to Deng Jin. The theme at the beginning was replaced by the most difficult one. Later, she had an allergy and her physical condition was not good. It was good enough that she insisted on completing the competition.
She felt a little sad and a little regretful. Deng Jin could have gotten better results.
Seeing Deng Jin slowly walk onto the stage, his expression did not show any frustration, nor any joy. He was as calm as water, and his emotions were so stable as if this competition had nothing to do with him.
After announcing the third place, Chong Jianzhi looked up at Nie Zheng and said, "The runner-up is—"
She sighed in her heart and suddenly lost interest in the award ceremony. Deng Jin, the champion candidate, became the third place. She would be satisfied as long as she could be in the top ten.
"Nie Zheng."
When she heard Chong Jianzhi calling her, she didn't react for a moment. The microphone amplified his voice, but it didn't sound real.
"The runner-up of this competition is Nie Zheng!"
Perhaps realizing that she didn't react, Chong Jianzhi repeated the sentence in full.
"I?"
Nie Zheng pointed at herself. Tan Yu next to her had already started clapping. She felt dizzy as she was escorted up the stage by the crowd and received the trophy and certificate handed over by the organizer's staff behind her.
I opened the certificate and took another look, actually to confirm that the name on the certificate was indeed "Nie Zheng".
Although still on the stage, Chong Jianzhi walked past the staff, turned around and gave her a tight hug.
The hug was very short. In that one or two seconds, she heard him whisper in her ear: "Congratulations."
Her heart skipped a beat and she subconsciously touched her face. It was slightly hot, perhaps already red.
The final champion was the man next to Deng Jin, who had been encouraging him to go to the hospital after he had an allergic reaction.
The result was somewhat ironic. The man walked up to the stage with his head held high and no guilt at all. When he received the medal and certificate, his eyes were moist.
Judging from his age, he should be at least forty years old. As a perfume maker, if he is still unknown at this age, there is basically no hope.
This match might be his last chance, and if he fails, he will become a benevolent person. That's why he tried so hard to get rid of his biggest rival, Deng Jin.
Standing on the podium, holding flowers in his hands, the man gave a touching acceptance speech, talking about his love for making incense.
Nie Zheng just watched coldly from the sidelines, feeling it was ironic and even more ridiculous.
When it was Nie Zheng's turn to give her acceptance speech, she suddenly felt speechless. After a long silence, she said, "I would like to thank my friends and my boyfriend for their continued support. I hope that in this arena, all the contestants with dreams can prove themselves through their true strength and shine. Thank you all."
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that her words were a mockery of the champion, but the man didn't care at all and clapped enthusiastically.
After he stepped off the stage, Nie Zheng passed by him and heard him say with a half-smile: "Little girl, you should actually thank me. If it weren't for me, how could you have won the runner-up?"
In fact, he was right. If Deng Jin hadn't performed poorly today, she might have been the third place winner.
"Don't bring your despicable methods to me. I feel disgusted."
After saying that, Nie Zheng walked out of the venue without looking back.
Tan Yu and Chong Jianzhi were waiting for her at the door. Suddenly, an arm hugged her tightly from behind. When she turned around, she saw it was Wang Baobao.
This young lady did not disappoint everyone and won the 15th place in the national incense making competition. She was the last member in the final and was worthy of being a substitute.
"I'm already very satisfied. I can show off to others that I'm one of the top 15 in the National Incense Making Competition!"
Baby Wang is still in such a good mood.
Cui Su also came out at this time, still mumbling: "What kind of audience passage is this? It's so crowded!"
A few people got together and discussed going out for a meal to celebrate.
"Um, Nie Zheng..."
Afterwards, a low and slow male voice was suddenly heard. Nie Zheng turned around and found that it was Deng Jin.
"Is there a problem?"
Deng Jin walked forward slowly, his face flushed, and he kept twisting his two fingers. After thinking for a long time, he said, "Thank you for what happened today."
"It's okay. I can't really help."
When she saw Deng Jin, she actually felt a little strange. Although this was not her intention, Deng Jin was originally the strongest contender for the championship, but because of being framed, he became the third place, and she became the one who "reaped the benefits".
"...Are you guys going to eat?"
She nodded and just asked casually, "Do you want to go with us?"
It was just politeness. With Deng Jin's personality, he probably doesn't like crowds. Besides, today's game result was not perfect for him, so there was naturally nothing worth celebrating.
Unexpectedly, Deng Jin agreed. He nodded and said, "Okay."
