"I'm sure Mr. Lao will get it again this year."
Lily heard a man to her left comment. The VIP seats had a cabaret style seating arrangement. This was similar to a banquet style but instead of occupying the whole table, there was an open end. The people at the table are seated in an arc facing forward and a total of six people sit in one table.
The seating arrangement was also based on their industry. For instance, people from the restaurant industry had their own table while the people from the financial industry have their own area.
"Mr. Lao and the LF Bank already won their third award last year. There is no way someone will beat them this year." Another one answered. Still, Lily ignored the conversation.
