Chapter 109 Director's Award
Chapter 109 Director's Award
"I actually met the director? The director of our Xincheng!" The crowd was talking, their eyes fixed on her, and they were so excited that they could hardly control their voices.
It almost covered up the live music.
The excitement of the whole audience increased with each award, until the arrival of the director, the whole place exploded.
"What brings her here?"
"I've never seen the director come to a commendation meeting like this!"
"Yes, this is just a small meeting in the East District. It is basically to reward low-level awakeners. She doesn't need to be there, and no one else is qualified to ask her to present awards."
"I can only see her at high-level meetings, but those meetings require strict review and various conditions. Not everyone can get in, so it's even harder to see her."
"Oh my god! Oh my god! Oh my god! I'm so lucky!" Someone pounded his thigh hard, trying to get rid of all the excitement that was surging in his body.
Many reporters couldn't help themselves. They threw their computers away and took out their video equipment.
There are professional photographers in charge of the video recording, but it has a different meaning if I record it myself. No one can stop me.
When someone stood up, how could others be willing to fall behind? They also stood up quickly.
It was like bamboo shoots popping up after a rain. Large areas of the venue swelled up, and it was like waves rolling, each wave higher than the last, until finally they all stood up.
Seeing this, the people in the VIP seats also stood up.
It’s okay for the audience to stand, but if the director is also standing, and I sit down, I will be putting pressure on the director.
Now the people in the audience felt an inexplicable warmth rising in their hearts, and this atmosphere seemed to be transmitted to each other, making everyone's mood more and more excited.
Everyone applauded more enthusiastically than ever before, with more force and speed, some even didn't want to stop. The venue suddenly sounded like thunder, continuous and lasting for a long time.
Zuo Xiuyan turned around and found the director standing in front of him. The two of them turned sideways towards the audience and looked at each other.
The host quietly retreated to the back of the room, leaving the venue to the two of them.
Everyone turned their attention to them.
One is like a spear pointing straight to the sky, the other is like a sharp sword cutting through the sky.
One is an extremely wicked and brilliant director, and the other is a newcomer with the greatest potential and unparalleled talent.
Pleasant to watch!
Like the two brightest stars shining on the field.
The lights in the entire conference were not as bright as theirs, and all the light seemed to be absorbed by the two of them.
Director Ling Xiao! Newcomer Zuo Xiuyan!
This scene was like a violent flash of light after an explosion, which couldn't be stopped from hitting the audience's hearts.
Ling Xiao raised her right hand, and the vertical crystal trophy that was originally on the table in the distance suddenly appeared in her hand.
Teleportation?
Everyone was shocked.
Ling Xiao smiled: "Newcomer, nice to see you again."
Zuo Xiuyan smiled slightly: "Director, long time no see."
"Ah?" Everyone was confused.
Didn't feel the top management suppressing the newcomers at all? The two of them didn't speak politely at all.
"Do they know each other?"
isn't it?
How could I have met such a seldom-seen director?
It's even a deeper relationship than meeting in person.
There is mutual respect between them, but there is no awkward sense of distance. Instead, she is like an older sister at home?
what's the situation?
Ling Xiao handed over the trophy: "May you always be a newcomer."
Zuo Xiuyan was about to take the trophy when he paused.
She looked into the director's eyes: "You..."
"Maybe." Ling Xiao said.
"Ah? What are they talking about in riddles? Why can't I understand anything?"
"Shouldn't it be a blessing for success or something like that? Why is he a forever newcomer? Isn't that just standing still?"
"No, Zuo Xiuyan definitely heard the director's other meaning! He knows what the director wants to say."
"It's obvious that the director knew what she was going to ask, and he answered her directly before she even asked!"
"This is……"
“I don’t understand, but I’m shocked.”
"Rounding off allows for brainwave communication..."
"Thank you." Zuo Xiuyan tightly grasped the crystal trophy, turned towards the audience, and took a step forward.
"She's going to speak!" Everyone understood and the applause began to stop.
Until the whole audience fell silent again.
Zuo Xiuyan spoke in a calm voice:
“I’m grateful for everything.”
“I am grateful for all the things, myself, others, things, and events that have allowed me to get to where I am today.”
“But I am not grateful for the pain and disaster. It is not the suffering that makes me strong, but the me who will not give up that overcomes the suffering.”
"It is the self who has worked hard every time, who has gone through days and nights of fatigue, entanglement and loss, and has never stopped."
“So, I thank myself.”
The audience was stunned for a moment. It was the first time they saw someone thank themselves first when speaking.
After all, aren’t opening remarks always something like, “Thank you to all the leaders, to the audience, thank you so-and-so for giving me this opportunity” or something like that?
I'm really tired of hearing those cliches.
However, I felt a kind of sincerity from Zuo Xiuyan's words.
And, indeed, suffering is not worth singing about. What is worth singing about is anyone who has the courage to face difficulties, overcome difficulties, and work hard!
Everyone became interested and listened to what she said next.
"The elimination of the monsters was the result of the joint efforts of my teammates and me. It was not just my achievement. It was because of them that we achieved this result."
“I am grateful for their trust and support.”
The team members in the audience looked at each other with surprise on their faces. Captain Zuo was not being polite yesterday. She really thought it was our contribution and even mentioned us.
In an instant, everyone seemed to be standing on the stage, winning the award with her.
"The information about monsters is the result of the hard work of our predecessors. It is because of them that we now have the skills to use information to counter monsters."
"The various equipment worn by the awakened and the medicines they use are also the result of countless people's continuous research and upgrading, which has led to the convenient and life-saving things we can use today."
“I appreciate their efforts.”
“I am me, but I am more than just me. Everything in the world, through various ingenious and unpredictable changes, has created me.”
“So, I am grateful for the knowledge, items, experiences, and luck that have helped me.”
"In addition, there are tens of millions of awakened people in every corner of the world, doing what they can for the stability of society. They also have sincere hearts, and their efforts are equally worthy of recognition."
This made the awakened people in the field feel inexplicably touched.
Yes, we are also working hard...
Who doesn't want to be recognized? Are things and people that are not seen not valuable?
Many people clenched their fists.
We are also living well and doing our own things seriously!
I don't ask for great wealth and honor, I just want to have a clear conscience.
We are just as worthy!
"The Contribution Award is not just for me, but for all awakened people."
"Likewise, it goes to everyone in the world who works to make life better."
"This is everyone's Outstanding Contribution Award."
"In the near future, everyone's efforts will surely create a safe and ordinary world."
"This is the ordinary wish of an ordinary person like me."
Zuo Xiuyan bowed.
The audience burst into applause again!
