Chapter 22: Night
Background music sounded at the right time, resounding throughout the ballroom.
Under the envious gaze of everyone, Ye Ying Ning cautiously walked from the seat to the podium, and after standing still, he took the microphone handed by the master of ceremonies.
Receiving the gaze of Qi Brush from all directions, a beam of light shone on her body, as the unique focus of the audience at this moment, Ye Ying Ning was of course inevitably slightly nervous.
The guest who presented her award was none other than Rebecca? Laura, she took the crystal trophy from Miss Manners, personally delivered it to Ye Ying Ning's hand, and gave her a warm hug and kissed her on the cheek.
Ye Ying Ning took a deep breath, calmed herself as much as possible, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your affirmation of me. Many people have said that 'You' is a meteor that flashes across the sky and is never heard from again. I know that if you want to prove yourself, you have to show your strength. Thank you, thank yourself, I did it. ”
With that, she gently raised the trophy in her hand, her red lips pursed slightly, and she kissed her.
Almost at the same time, the flash lit up from all directions, and the shutter sounded incessantly, almost blinding the human eye.
Night Baby Ning bowed and thanked before stepping off the stage, and everyone present once again responded with warm applause, and Pet Tiange, who was sitting in the VIP seat in the front row, also clapped his hands, staring at this woman with makeup who slowly walked off the stage with complicated eyes.
"It's rare, isn't it?"
Fu Jinliang, who was sitting beside him, stroked his hands lightly and praised in his mouth. Seeing that Pet Tiange had no interface, her eyes darkened, and she gritted her teeth and said again: "I just sent out the invitation the day before yesterday, and she knows it now." ”
There was finally a little movement in his calm expression, and Pet Tiange turned his head slightly to the side, still maintaining a forward-looking sitting posture, and said softly: "Then, what do you want to say?" ”
His indifference made Fu Jinliang feel slightly speechless, she paused, and hummed: "So I said it's really rare, such a good psychological quality, can still come to the stage to accept the award lightly." ”
The thin lips are curled, bringing out a beautiful arc, and the pet Tiange seems to be silently mocking.
"Oh, that's right."
He nodded slightly, and easily ended the conversation between the two.
Fu Jinliang turned his face sideways and glared at him, but he didn't expect that Pet Tiange was not curious at all, and he was not angry at all, which made the lines she had prepared for a long time useless, how could she not be extraordinarily angry.
"It's so hard for you."
Just when her heart was turning a thousand times, Pet Tiange spoke up again, and nodded playfully, with an unfathomable demeanor.
"I'm not hard, even if I work hard, it's for our marriage."
Fu Jinliang lowered his voice, and immediately straightened his face after speaking, and stopped speaking.
This kind of occasion is really not suitable for chatting.
After the award ceremony, there was a more casual and lively buffet dinner, which was still held in Building 9. The dishes of the State Guesthouse are even known as the "ninth cuisine" in China, which has been praised by countless domestic and foreign dignitaries, and both the chef and the service staff have rich banquet experience, and this dinner is particularly satisfying to all the invited guests.
The dinner reached the climax stage, the organizer specially exhibited the latest works of the award-winning designers, and launched an auction, and the funds raised by the Lola Group will be donated to the domestic women's and children's foundation, and will also set up a Rebecca ? The special fund, named by Lola, is used to solve the medical and educational problems of left-behind children in mountainous areas.
When Ye Yingning's "Broken Dreams Tonight" was presented in front of everyone, this sad name surprised everyone. After all, as the biggest winner tonight, she should have given a set of festive and peaceful creations to celebrate.
"Miss Night, can you explain the meaning of the name of the work to all of us?"
The master of ceremonies held the microphone in his hand and humorously threw this question to Ye Yingning, which everyone was curious about.
In front of them, "Dreams Broken Tonight" is a group of two works: a ring in the shape of a silkworm cocoon and a necklace in the shape of a butterfly. A delicate oval white diamond is polished into the shape of a cocoon, while the platinum setting is discreet, barely visible on the hand. The most amazing thing is another necklace, the amethyst lines are smooth, in order to be able to refract the butterfly when the flight of the real and fake, the night baby Ning specially carved the polished gemstone should have the delicate veins on the wings, and then cleverly buried in the filament gold thread, and then decorated with small pearl shells at the end.
Originally, it would have taken up to a month or two to complete such a work, but she deliberately kept herself busy and couldn't stop, so the last few processes were completed in one go, and it only took a week to complete it.
And the price is also heavy, until now, Ye Yingning even feels that his eyes are sore and his vision is blurred, which is the sequelae of long-term work. For this reason, Stephy was so frightened that she hurriedly bought eye drops to relieve fatigue and forced her to take the medicine on time.
"Actually, the name of this group of works is not as pessimistic as everyone guesses. According to my understanding, originally, the caterpillar only wanted to be a caterpillar for a lifetime, but one day it found that it suddenly couldn't move and turned into a cocoon. But nature will not fulfill this wish, and one day, its cocoon will crack open and its original dreams will be shattered. But thankfully, it went from ugly to beautiful, because it became a butterfly. ”
Night Baby Ning thought for a few seconds, and then said his design concept unhurriedly as an answer.
She guessed that perhaps the first thought that comes to the mind of most people when they hear the word "broken dreams" is pain and tragedy.
But she doesn't!
The more people waited to see her embarrassment after falling, and the more people were ready to kick her feet hard when she fell, the more she had to stand straighter, go farther, and fly higher!
Career is like this, love is even more so.
There was a silence in the audience at first, and then, I don't know who took the lead in applauding, and the applause gradually changed from sparse to warm, and at the end, it simply set off a sea of applause.
Smiling and handing back the microphone, Ye Yingning smiled and signed her name on the bronzing certificate next to the work, which will be handed over to the successful bidders later to preserve and collect along with her work.
Because the gemstone base used is not as expensive as the previous works, the reserve price of "Broken Dreams Tonight" is not high, 880,000 yuan, just to please the lottery.
However, the subsequent auction was extremely tense and enthusiastic, with each value-added starting at 10,000 yuan, and soon, everyone speculated the auction price to 3 million yuan.
"3 million! Is there a higher price than 3 million? ”
The auctioneer on the stage was emotional, and his words were very incendiary, and soon an entrepreneur raised the bidding card in his hand and proudly said: "I will pay 350!" I've always admired Miss Night! ”
The latter sentence was a very redundant confession, and the guests present couldn't help but chuckle and couldn't help laughing.
The man who sat in the front row, silent all the time, with his hands in front of his chest, frowned almost invisibly when he heard the words.
